CHARLES STEWART PARNELL, the IA
NOUS leader of the Irish land league,
was arrested by the British government
and thrown in prison on the 10th inst.
Mr.. Parnell was not anticipating arrest
and was in bed when served with the
warrant. A late cablegram from Dublin
describes that city in a perfect ferment
of excitement, and that the whole city
is an armed camp, and adds: "The
condition of things at this hour is aw-
full. The wave of Indignation gathers,
and there is no telling when it may
break, or what the consequence may
be. The land league executive
committee is at this moment
sitting with John Dillon in the
chair. The worst is being pre-
pared for. 1t is rumored that the gov
eminent will take possession Of the
and league headquarters, and proceed
to the utmost extreminity of brute
force to repress the organization.
Calmer, but deliberate and decisive
action can be looked for from the men
n the head If the men in America
stand firmly by us there need be no
fears of the ultimate result.

Dr.. J. G. HOLLAND, the renowned au-
thor, poet and editor of Scribners
monthly, died in New York, on
Wednesday last. His death will shock
and grieve many who do not admire
his poetry nor believe IN his genius.
He has been hard and useful worker
IN journalism and literature and has
done good work in reaching and in
nuencing class without the range OF
stronger, clearer and higher thought.
He had the editorial talent, which is
often separated from in ellectual SUI
periority, and the publishers of Serb
ner's monthly will not easily find an
editor with so keen an understanding
of the average popular taste. There
is such thing as genius for the com
monplace, and it is often valuable.
DIR. Holland had just this. His writ
ings were not only popular, but, in a
sense, valuable to his generation, what
ever posterity may think of them, if 1t
thinks Of them at ALL He believed in
and respected himself, and has written
nothing to be ashamed of, from the
moral point of view, which is his fa-
vorite one.

CORRESPONDENT Of the Chicago

CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago Ete-
ming formal asks; eff the Arkansas
train-robbers could on the 9TH of Octo-
Der be sent to the penitentiary for seven
tv years for crime committed on the
22d of September, why cannot all the
criminals under arrest for violating the
laws of good society be tried and SEN
fenced in n similar short time, includ-
ing the infamous Guiteau?" To which
the Journal pertnently responds; They
could be, and would be, if the people
would insist, rs they should, that the
present defective statutes of the states
and the nation shall be SO remodeled
by the legislatures as to preclude the
possibility of sharp lawyers honey-fug
ling weak judges into constituting the
laws on the side of the criminals. in
stead of on the side of stern justice and
the interests of society. The trouble is
with the laws, and the remedy is the
election OF members of the legislature
who will be wise and honest enough to
80 reform the laws as to make them
effective for the punishment of crimi-
mails. Next time legislature of Hi
nois is to be elected-one year hence
will our correspondent take enough Of
active interest in the matter in his own
town and district to exercise his intlu-
ence in favor, of the nomination and
election of man of great good sense
and undoubted honesty to send to
Sprintield? That is where he can, if he
will put in his work for regal, judicial
and criminal reform. If the people
would send only able and good men to
the legislature, with the one view of
making good and wise laws, instead of
being the supple tools of political bosses
or corporate monopolies, there would
soon be better order of things in our
affairs of civil and criminal administers
ton; but until the people shall do this,
they will continue to have occasion for
grumbling, with really nobody bat
themselves to blame.

81 Acknowledge the Corn"

The origin Of the phrase, 81 acknowledge
the corn' is this: In 1928 Mr.. Stewart,a men,
Der of congress, said in a speech that Ohio,
Kentucky and Indiana sent their hay stacks,
corn fields and fodder to New York and
Philadelphia for sale. Mr.. Wicklife, OF
kentucky, called him to order, saying that
those states did not send hay stacks or corn
fields to New York for sale. "Well, what
do you send, then?' asked Mr.. Stewart.
"Why, horses and mules, cattle and hogs"
"Well, what makes your horses and mules,
cattle and hogs? You feed one hundred
dollars worth of hay to a horse. You just
animate and get on top of your hay stack
and ride 1t off to market. How is 1t with
your cattle ? You make one of them carry
fifty dollars worth of hay or grass to the
eastern market. How much corn does it take
to fatten a hog? Way, 80 bushels. Then
you put 80 bushels into the shape of a hog
and make it walk off to the eastern market
Then Mir. Wicklitie jumped up and said,
''Mr. Speaker, | acknowledge the corn.'

1t has often been a subject Of wonderment
to US where our pretty gir.s got the notion
from of combing their hair down over their

make the inch and a half of hair which they
keep hanging down nearly TO their eyebrows,
and which is irresistibly associated in our
minds with animpertectly sheared mules tail.

last night as we dropped into Dr.. Jackson's.

yesterday among quite a variety of ferns and
moses, and other curiosities from that semi
barbarous land, the pictures of two Maori
natives of that country-a boy and a girl
and the latter had her back hair all looped
upon the top of her head and stuck through
with white-tipped turkey feathers, and the
front hair was hauled down in front, the ends
mingling with the eyebrows. So, it is from
the New Zealand savages, and not from the
North American Indian squaws: ladies, that
