the amount i'll ready money circulating

ing off their arrears due 10 him, the
grant of money at per cent. is wind
fall making the years 1879 and 1880 not
the least prosperous of the last decade.
Mr.. O'Dowd is strong opponent of
the cry for fxity OF tenure at fair rents;
but though n landlord he has thrown
himself into the agitation for peasant
proprietary. While he was speaking at
the nearest land meeting, an awkward
statement was made that he had fifteen
processes for non payment of rent in
the hands of the process. server. He ex-
planned that they owed him five years
rent, but forgot to say how the rent and
shop accounts had been manipulated.
Mr.. O'Dowd is prepared to stand up
for the sacred rights of the people. A
national Parliament and peasant pro-
prietary are the two planks of his plat
form. Nothing less will satisfy him.
q am prepared to sell every farm on
my property to my tenants tomorrow. ~
he exclaimed, knowing how empty were
the pockets of the tenantry. "The
tiller of the soil, rooted in the holding
that he has made fertile by the sweat of
his brow, is the end for which we strug-
gle, a12d which we must attain. The
cheering crowd does not give Mr..
O'Dowd credit for as much sincerity as
he deserves. A peasant proprietary
would mean for him n ready purchase
of property. He has too large ON ex-
perience of the certainty of mortgages
on small estates not to know that the
acquisition of property by him will be
materially assisted by the segregation
of the larger properties around him.
Besides, he owes a grudge to the land
lords. Being, as he is, in position to
know who can pay, he refused to accept
the plea of ruin put in by tenants on
Sir George Bakers property. In due
course they were served with processes
and decrees were obtained but when
the bailiffs went to execute the DEGREES
they were confronted by notices from
the landlord, who had not called for his
rent. that the rent was due, and must
first be paid before Mr.. O'Dowd's debt
could be considered. This Mr. ODowd
stigmatizes as a shabby trick. A peas
ant proprietary would prevent such a
plan for cheating the shopkeeper of his
due, and Mr.. O'Dowd would have no
objection to even the compulsory sale
to the tenants of the portion of his
property not farmed by himself, if it
were part of a scheme that would re-
lieve him from the landlords priority
and give him fair start for repur-
chase. The redistribution of property
would mean increased security for his
credit, and the certainty of an ultimate
accumulation of real estate that would
one day place the O'Dowds of Owen
mackenna among the leading families
of the county.

4 General Smash Up.

An old railroad man tells the follow
ing incident of early railroad life The
western terminus of the Springfield aud
Meredocia, was located in the pubic
square in Jacksonville, right in the
heart of the city. When the road was
finished, q grand excursion was given
to Jacksonville. Thousands of people,
very few of whom had seen a locomo-
tive, came into the city from the sur
rounding country. The streets adioin-
ing the square were literally packed
with all kinds of vehicles. Some one
cried out, The train is coming !" The
people rushed into the square to see
the wonderful sight, and left the horses
and wagons standing al around the
square The engine, then an object
much more frightful to dumb brutes
than now, came putting and screaming
and painting down into the square,
throwing out great clouds of steam and
black smoke, the engineer evidently in
tent on showing the people how much
fuss the old thing could make. The
horses outside snorted and painted IN
imitation of the terrible iron monster
which was frightening them to distrac-
tion. Then stampede commenced,
and such a stampede was never seen
before. a thousand runaways were in
blast at the same time. MIR. Randall
estimates that in three minutes after
the arrival of the first train in Jackson
vile half dozen whole vehicles of any
description could not be found in Nor
gan County. Fortunately but few per-
sons were seriously hurt, but such a
wreck of wheel carriages was never seen
before or since.

4 Reason for Pity.

OF stories about beachco mbers Eng
lish settlers in Polynesia) there is no
end. Perhaps one of the best is that of
Paunchy Billy of Samoa, who was born
in the same village as John Paul Jones,
and who was in the habit of declaring:
as Sir, | wouldn't 90 back to Britain now
If you were to give me a thousand a
year and yet ] viii say that when L
came here first, more than thirty years
ago, l had a fashion of sitting on the
stones by the seaside of a night, and
crying to myself for the home and
friends l should never see again. But
l know better now, and L have done
with this many year" Billy used to
relate how. when Commodore Wilkes
expedition visited Samoa, he went ON
board the United States ship Porpoise,
dressed in savage mats, and begged the
captain to take him away.
don't want any men but what
countryman are you ~
"a Scotchman," said the beach
comber.
"Well, then" said the American, Il
guess | pity you more than little. ]
cannot take you away but here's q
sheath knife and plug of James River
Cavendish, of which L make You q
present Had you been an American
would have had You tied up to the gang
way, and have given you dozen with
the cat-o'-nine tails.
Billy asked the captain to explain.
Because" retorted the commander,
chad you been citizen of the United
States should have counted you dis
grace to humanity for letting yourself
run wild among a lot of scalping savages
But seeing you are Britisher, anG
there is not room enough for you all il
your overcrowded country, L pity yor
from the bottom of my heart-I dew ?

Not a Laughing Matter.

Thiers was an excellent minister, but
like Bismarck, he had habit of offer
ing his resignation on every occasion
when he was not allowed to have his
own way.
One day he was walking through the
streets of Paris with Louis Philippe, a
dispute arose upon some trivial subject
and waxed warmer and warmer until at
last the minister burst out
"Sire, I must ask you to accept my
resignation of Office
"Oh, nonsense.
81 am in earnest, Your Majesty
only took it through sense of duty and
against my will. "
The king could not help bursting out
in roar of laughter.
"Sirel" said Theirs, "when you OBJ
served in 1880 that you only took the
clwn through sense of duty and
against your win, did / laugh ?"
