GLADSTONE introduced the Irish Land
bill in the House of Commons on the 7th,
accompanied by speech Of over two hours
duration, at the close OF which he was loud
ly cheered. The principal features of the
bill are thus summarized in Mr.. Gladstone's
speech:
"The present bill does not introduce unreg-
ulated tenant rights Provision is made for
preventing II nom passing into extravaganza G
and protecting just right of landlords by
bringing into fair competition the tenants
right to assign and the landlords right to get
what the land Is reasonably worth. The sal
lent point and caTdinal feature of the bill is
the institution of court to take cogniZance
of rent, and which viii not be debarred from
tax ny cOgniZance of tenure and assign.
luent There are strong grounds for making
resort to this court optional instead
of compulsory. There may be tenants who
do not desire the interference of this court.
Every existing tenant might call on the court
tOtiN the judicial rent for fifteen years, dur
ing which there could be no change, no evic-
tion, except for breach of certain things
specified. The Ulster custom will remain as
now, at the tenants option; but tenants will
have the protection of the general provisions
of the bill for controlling augmentation of
rent The power to contract out of this act
is given where the rent amounts TO E20O year
ly. The court will have final authority
over all land cases. II is to consist of three
persons, one of whom must be Judge or eX-
Judge of the supreme Court, Its proper seat
will be at Dublin; but extra commissioners
and II nee, ssary sub commissioners, may be
appointed under control of the Central Com.

A WASHINGTON semi-oflicial dispatch
says: "The proposition made by gentle
man who attended the recent financial con-
ference in New York, namely, to extend
maturing 3 and 6-per-cent. bonds at lower
rate of interest, is very generally approved
by Treasury officials with the exception OF
the Secretary, who will not express an opin-
ion on the subject), as the most feasible plan
which the Government can pursue. The
Secretary Of the Treasury is not required to
give notice before calling the
outstanding 6-per.cent bonds for
redemption. These bonds amount
in the aggregate to S195, 800, 400, and are re-
deemable June 30 next, after which date
any that may be called will cease to draw in
terest. The aggregate amount Of per cents.
redeemable May is $45350O,S50. Should
this method prove successful it would not
be necessary to sell any bonds whatever
While nothing can be said officially as to the
course to be adopted, there is good authority
for stating that this plan is receiving thorough
consideration, and the indications appear
to be in favor of its adoption"

The Irish members of Parliament
are generally satisfied with the provisions Of
the Land bill, but express fears that the
House Of Lords may insist on amending it,
resolution for which purpose has
already been introduced by Lord
Echo, Liberal Conservative. The Duke
OF Argyle has resigned from the Cabi-
net on account of his opposition to the bill.
He said he does not oppose the extension OF
ownership Of land to peasants, but can not
consent to destroy the ownership of land by
other persons. Yhe House of Commons has
adjourned until the 25th inst, and the Lords
until the 9th of May.

i GEN. McCooK, who has been on Gen.
Sherman's staff for years, has been ordered
to join his regiment at White River, and
Chaplain Mullins has been ordered to take
charge of education in the army. The army
officers say Secretary Lincoln has expressed
the intention of revolutionizing the staff ap-
pointments. He thinks some officers have
been enjoying easy berths too long, and that
it is fair to give them taste of service and
let those who have seen hard service perform
staff duty awhile.

"Mr y. presents his urgent compli-

pressing call for money, he begs he will

to send him"
Georges answers were the same to

"Mr. George NJ thanks +. for hav-

1t was thus that George owed to a

coupled with a dowry which the father,
AN honest manufacturer, added TO the
fortune Of his son-in-law, true friend.

rely in poverty, should that ever over

The heir in spite Of himself was far

another 'for my part say he is a
shrewd fellow, who knew how to make
the most Of circumstances. Everybody
could not manage as he has done"

In the dreary waste OF the coming years.

And yet can drive from my dreams The

While it loses each day its dainty grace,
As her vain tears flow for her ruined life?
Somewhere she Is weeping In bitter shame
Hated by women and Knocked by men.
To her penitent lips Is pressed the same
Full measure Of grief that she wrought
INC then.
And worst Of it Is that cannot say
s'Come back to me out Of your grief and

Though WELD my life, there is yet no

Ruin, despair and piercing pain,
Sharper than death while cannot reach
