The First Defeat or Gladstone.
London, June 1.-THE Gladstone
government received its first serious
blow tonight at the hands of the whig
element of the liberal party. The de-
lection of the aristocratic English
liberals has always been counted on by
tories as the chief means of defeating
the land bill. This danger became
evident tonight, when a surprise was
prepared for the government by a secret
understanding between these aristo-
cratic liberals and the conservative
party. Though this alliance was re-
garded as probable by the independent
members, the ministerialists seem to
have been caught mapping. The tories
and aristocratic wings had determined
to try conclusions with the govern
ment ON the amendment made by Mr..
Herage, liberal member for Great
Grimsby, which proposed to take from
under the operation Of the bill all the
holdings which had been improved by
landlords or their predecessors in title.
This proposition, though seemingly
fair, would have defeated the whole
object of the bill as accepted, because
1t would have led to universal litiga-
tion, owing to customs peculiar to the
Irish estates. Every landlord would
haye set up colorado claim to have
contributed In some shape or other to
every Improvement effected by his
tenants. The result would be univer-
sal litigation whenever the tenants pre-
pared to sell their interest in their
farms. The government resisted the
amendment, and when division was
taken 200 voted yes, while only 225
voted no. Mr.. Gladston's majority
fell from 112 to 25 votes, and but for
the support OF the Irish members he
would have found himself in q minor
ity. The result was received with loud
and continued cheering by the tory
party, who felt that they had delivered
a staggering blow to the land bill. The
ministerialists showed how much they
felt the check by maintaining absolute
silence when the result was announced.
The action Of the aristocratic liberals
Is dictated by fear that the principles
Of the bill may be applied to England.
Had the Parnellites voted against the
government, the ministry would have
been defeated. Mr.. Biggar seemed to
regret the los of the opportunity, for
heS moved the rejection Of the first
clause Of the bill; but the conservatives
did not support him, and the motion
was defeated by an overwhelming ma
jority. Clause one was carried by q
vote Of 204 to At. The check sustained
by the government tonight will proba-
bly, encourage the lords to alter the
bill, 50 Al TO render it worthless, or per
haps reject it. The gravest conse.
quences may result from to-night's d.
vision, unless the government is able to
rally enough supporters on the report
to reafiirm by . normal majority the
principle of which was challenged in
Mr.. Henage's amendment.

An interesting illustration of the

IN the origin of the recent fire which
occurred in the Etna Rubber Mills, at
Jamaica Plains. The cement which
tastens the seams of rubber coats is
largely made of naphtha. The nero

cut for garments, developed so much
electricity that spark was observed to
escape. 1t came in contact with the
naphtha cement, or with gases arising
from 1t, and instantly the whole room
was in q blaze. Fortunately the fire.
was extinguished without DESTROYING
the mill, the loss being only about q
thousand dollars.
1t is not known that anything can be
done to prevent the occurrence of an
other accident of precisely the same
KIND, whenever all the atmospheric
conditions are favorable. One would
suppose, however, that a certain degree
OF dampness would remove all danger
from that source.

PROFITS OF THE SHARE SYSTEM.

PROFITS OF THE SHAKE o1S1EM
The writer has had experience OF tn
share system during the last ten years
The first trial was with thrifty freed
man, to whom he sold mules Oh credit
and who made the first year OF trial tel
hogsheads sugar and sixteen balrel
molasses on five acres. Out OF M
profits he paid for the mules, boqgh
others and now owns a homestead Of
forty acres and fifty head of stock
Another was white tenant, who came
with nothing but one horse and family
of wife and several small children, and
in debt. He rented mules the first year
and made profits sufficient to buy others
The second year he made 143 h0gsheads
sugar and 200 barrels mOlasses OFT OF
seventy acres. His share of One-half
Gall expenses Of making the whole de-
ducted) enabled him to buy a home
stead of $50 acres. So with several
others, who have been uniformly sue
cessful, until 1880, when freeze on the
eighteenth of November killed the cane
to the ground and continuous rains de-
layed taking it off until the most of it
was spOilt.
The profits have been uniformly, with
this last exception, from $500 to 500,
sometimes $1,000 per hand engaged in
share and central system are manifest
from the consideration that it is more
and more being proved day by day, in
ing, that speciality of pursuit and di-
vision of labor are indispensable to
thoroughness ia progress and profita-
bleness in result.
Under the increasing difficulties of
the labor problem, one man can direct
three to five hands under him much
more efficiently in proportion than he
can thirty or fifty, to do which here,
and demands talents OF as high an order
as are required in general of division
with every discipline to back him.
On small cut of land of 4t acres, not
of better quality than the adjacent land,
but only fertilized with pea vines, the
year before thoroughly cultivated, there
was gathered and harvested in 1878
yield of $4,000 pounds sugar, 80 gallons
OF sirOp Gle batterie and 800 gallons
molasses--a yield of more than $500
worth to the acre. All the land formed
by the alluviOn of Red river. within
proper latitude, can, by high and Judi
cious cultivation and attention to the
re-esta blisllment and maintaining of
tho original fertility of the soil, be made
to yield under fairly good seasons
