TO share In the general prosperity thus
exhibited. Virginia lands are repre-
scented as having increased In value
twelve and SIX tenths per cent, West
VIRGINIA lands ten and two tenths per
cent, and Tennessee lands twelve aud
three tenths per cent Kentucky for
some reason not ascertaiuable shows an
increase of only ak and six tenths per
cent. Delaware lands show the least
appreciation, the increase being only
three and eight tenths per cent Mas.

higher price than those of any other

A YOUNG MAN KILLED WHILE TOY.
ING WITH A REVOLVER.
The careless toying with a revol-
yer caused the instant death of a
young man in a disreputable house
kept by Susan Ellis, at 1926 North
Ninth street, Philadelphia, Sunday
afternoon. 1t seems that he had
sought the apartment of one of the
female inmates, ard having taken a
small foursbarrelled revolver from
his pocket was handling it with de-
gree Of freedom which provoked the
woman to protest. He laughed at
her fears, and placing the muzzle of
the weapon to his mouth made the
playful remark, "Why, eat these
things" He had no sooner uttered
this boast than the instrument was
discharged, it being one of the kind
very readily fired off, and considered
highly dangerous. He fell to the
floor and died instantly. From pas
pers found upon the body the de-
ceased is believed to be Thomas G.
Bryan, his age % years. A return
ticket to Vincenttown, n. j., was
found and Sl35 in money, which was
given to the coroner's undertaken

A POWERFUL DREDGEBoAT.-A New
Orleans dispatch says: "Oapt. Eads's
dredge boat, the G. w. NJ. Bayley,
attracts much attention. Her intricate
and powerful machinery, and intact, her
entire construction was after designs by
Eads, and included features never intro
duced in any boat of her class ever
builr. Her cost was placed at S75, 900, aud
her mission was the cleaning OF The jetty
channel of humps or inequalities pro-
duceh by the current or other causes. A
few days ago the Bayley was called out
to check the formation of lump or
iucipient bar at the upper end of the
jatties. Her enormous centrifugal pump
was started, and In few seconds mud
began pouring into her tanks from the
bottom of the river. In the space of five
minutes the tanks, with capacity of
500 tons, were filled, and the vessel
started to deeper water to deposit her
load. The pc wer evolved In the sucking
np.of mud and other material Is iTresis
tlble. This dredgeboat's work is alone
needed 10 maintain the desired depth of
or in the jetties."

Tnr sE,ANp RENTALS AND DRINK

THE LAND RENTALS AND DRINK
BILLS or 0RnAT BRITAIN AND Ire
LAND.-Ff0m the British excise returns
it appears that the total consumption in
Great Britain and ireland of beer. wine
and alcoholic liquors during the year
1880 amounted 10 the enormous sum of
one hundred and twenty-five million two
hundred and seventy-Dine thousand two
hundred and sevepty.hve pounds sterl-
ing; or, in American currency more than
five hundred and eleven million Of
dollars. A comparison of what is paid
for the yearly rent of land and what is
paid for liquors OF all kinds-beer being
more than one-half of the whole--gives
some remarkably suggestive figures. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Card, the average rent of
agricultural land In Great Brilain-that
is to say, in England, Scotland and
Wales-is thirty shillings, or six dollars
per acre. In Ireland it appears from the
government retarns to be about fifteen
shillings, or three dollars per acre. The
total annual rent Of 80, 101, 300 acres re-
turned as cultivable land in Great
Britain amounts to about forty-eght
million pounds sterling, or two hundred
and forty million dollars. The total
amount spent In drink during the same
period was, In round numbers, one hun
dred and half million of pounds sterl-
ing, or little over five hundred million
OF dollars, which Is more than double
the sum paid for The rent of all the
arabic land under cultivation. In Ireland,
which is almost entirely agricultural, the
rental paid until the troubles began
there on 15,257,s56 acres of land was
eleven million five hundred and eighteen
thousand three hundred and Dinety-twO
pounds sterling, or rather over fifty
seven million dollars; while the sum
paid for intoxicating liquors was thirteen
million eight hundred and twenty three
thousand one hundred and two pounds |
sterling, or fifty-six million one hundred |
and fifteen thousand dollars-an excess |
over the entire rental of land In that |
country of twelve million dollars. The |
fact thus stands conspicuously,.out that
one half the money spent In drink in
Great Britain would pay the rent Of all
the farms under cultivation there, and
that the drink bill of Ireland would more
than pay the rent of all the cultivable
land in Ireland. As comparison be.
tween the amount of liquor drank in the
two sections of what is officially styled.
"The United Kingdom OF Great Britain
and Ireland" the difference is largely in
favor of Ireland. But in either case,
these official returns present hard facts
which temperance associations will not
Tall TO seize upon.

AN EXAMPLE.

The city councils of New Orleans, be-
fore renewing the grant Of right OF wa7
through the streets of the city ear lines,
has required the payment Of $500, 900 in
cash and the execution of an agreement
to keep the streets on which the tracks
are or may be laid in good condition
from curb to curb, subject at all times to
the inspection of the officers having
charge Of the city highways. A penalty
of twenty-five dollars for each and every
failure to comply with the notice of the
street commissioner and city surveyor is
also provided. The contract continues
for twenty five years, and will be con-
tinual source OF profit to the city during
that time.

nently. Three systems are to be tried
the Brush, the Siemens and the
Loutin-but only the first two are in
