 Twenty years ago there died a queer old

 per cents. His income was not fourth of Lord Derby's, but he left in the funds $4, 300, 900. As rule peer leaves com

How Rich Engifshmen Spend Money.


 If rich people in England sbould see fit to bring down their domestic expenditure to that usual among families of similar means here, they would very soon be able not mere Iy to recoup themselves for the losses of sev- eral bad harvssts, but to save vast sums of money. In our large eastern cities family men with anything under $25, GOO year spend more freely than Engishmen with the same income; but, as regards those with in comes over that amount, it is quite another matter. When Macaulay, before proceeding to India, consulted Sydney Smiths expe- rienced brother, the famous "Bobus," as to expenses at Calcutta, he was told that he could not be comfortable under 1000 8 year, and that he could not possibly get through e5,oOO. This is, in measure, true of the United States. It might be safely as- serted that in the whole of this country there are nos five persons, if as many, who spend on their establishments $1O0,O0 A careful estimate, made year or two ago by persons eminently qualified to make it, brought such expenditure up to 5000. In included a town house, yacht, villa at Newport and a country seat.
 What runs away with incomes of from $50, ,0O0 to $250. 0.O00 in England is the keep ing up of country seats, hounds, hospitality and game preserves. At Drumlanrig castle, for instance, one of its owner's 10 residences, there are 80 miles of grass drive kept in or der; at Gridge, more than 40. Add to this acres of garden and grass and expenses of park-keepers and game keepers, it is easy to see where the money goes. If there is g hunting establishment on liberal scale, at least $20, ,OO0 year must be added
 Again, while the hospitality of an average well-to-do American favorably compares with that of an Englishman of similar means, that of the broad acred Englishman is immensely greater than that of the American million aire. The latter gives some dinner parties, and perhaps, an annual ball, and keeps 6 dozen servants; the Englishman, on the oth- CT hand, besides constantly entertaining in town, often sits down to dinner for weeks at a time with twenty guests staying with their servants in his country house and feeds from 50 to 60 every day in his servanss' hall with as much beef and beer as they please to con sume. More than this, he at times entertains whole schools and parishes, besides giving away hundreds of pounds in the shape of beef and blankets st Christmas. He sub

CRANKY POEM.
 Down where the ghoul-haunted river twists,
 Soak my head in ice-cold teal

 (Plant stuffed kittens over mel.
 Kittens are t. uched with the light divine
 Of mystical chr 8 n and soul-kissed w1ne
 Out on the edge of the dolorous sea

 Stones and onions make wor hy bread
 (Plant snakes fang over my head-)
 Still doth the r'ng-d we mourn his mate
 In the mi dewed orchard all fight long:
 Still doth tue srpent bar the gate
 And the gray owl sobs a low, sad song,
 And ching low on the amber roof
 Three velvet bulldogs moan aloof.

"Confdence, the old copy books used to say, lis plant of slow growth" but. it is very easily shaken or destroyed. This being true, it is not surprising that the recent bank failures have caused some distrust, but it is not be ieved by the best, judges of the situation that the disturbance will last long, or be very dangerous. The existing state of financial and business affairs is very different from that of 1S73 Then, as the Boston AdgertSses' points out, ''an business was on an inflated and artificial basis, and an expos ure of the hollowness of one great concern led to the discovery that others were also hollow or in state of decay. All the con- ditions are different at the present time Prices are not excessively inflated specula- ton in goods has not made the apparent vol- ume of business delusive; there are no large stocks of unsold goods; our indebtedness abroad is less in actual amount than it was eight years ago, and very much less in pro- portion to the national wealth the currency is in satisfactory state" The inherent strength of the financial situation seems to be such that confidence will be restored as soon as the test has been applied.

The monopoly of the land by the great ''squatters'' or sheep farmers is fertile source of discontent in New Zealand. In South Canterbury alone sixteen runholders have no fewer than 437 ,O00 acres of land, or an average of 27,O0O acres each. In many cases the large runs are partly held on lease from the Government at few pence per acre, and the holders have the depasturing of large tracts of land from which they keep of "cockatoos," ;" or small farmers, by what is called "spotting" the river frontages and oth- CT desirable plots The consequence is thai the price of such small farms as can be ad- vantageously purchased is abnormally high. Unfortunately. these squatters have pre- ponderating power in the Colonial Legisla ture, and the present Ministry is bound to their interests.

 Counsel for Mir. Campbell, of Utah, have formally called Clerk Adams attention to the recent decision of the court in Utah, and have asked him in writing whether he intends to retain the name of George 0. Cannon on the roll of the House as delegate from Utah, and if not whether he will recognize the certif- cate of the Governor by placing on the roll the name of A. G. Campbell. Clerk Adams has made no written reply to this communi- cation, but orally has stated that he paid no attention to this question of citizenship, but would have put Cannon's name on the roll even had he known beforehand that he was an unnaturalized Englishman. This issue brings up, first, the question how far the clerk of the old House of Representatives, an officer whose responsibility to any existing body has expired, and whose du- t1SS III 1cBAEQ tO bA0 AOH 1AOu5C dAO AAACACAJ perfunctory, has the right to disregard the certificate of Governor, the only primo facie evidence which the laws of the United States require him to act upon, and place upon the rolls of Congress the name of delegate not certified to have been elected; and, secondly, 8 delegate not certified to have been elected having been placed upon the roll, and the courts of the territory from which he is accredited having decided that he was, from the first, ineligible, whether there is not some authority vested in the courts of the District of Columbia which will afford 8 remedy for this wrong.

Mr. James r. Young, a brother of
John Russell Young, now a Long
Branch, writes the following about
General Grant:

cottage just opposite the Elderon
Hotel. The general is looking adj
mirably. He feels trif1e lonely OF
nights, there being no one about to
play Boston with him. He don't
like whist Boston and sancho pedro
are his favorites. He told me that
he is going to avoid newspaper men
hereafter. Most of the matter re
Gently published as interviews with
him never took place. He has none
but the friendliest feelings for Gar
field, and intends calling on him at
the earliest convenient opportunity
for both. He differs decidedly with
Garfield in the Conkling~ Robertson
matter, but he does not propose to
allow this difference to alter their
social relations.

CARRYING DEADLY WEAPONS.

The statute enacted by the Ten
nessee legislature few years ago,
prohibiting the carrying of concealed
weapons has had most happy eff ct.
Speaking for our own section of the
State-and it is true of the other sec
tons also, we believe-the courts have
enforced the law with a vigOr and
impartiality worthy of the highest
commentator. The result is fewer
homicides and dangerous personal
rencountres. There is less use FIR
the hip pocket, and while society
generally is benefited, no one is
injured. We hope to see the
law vigorously enforced, and
that public opinion will soon be
such that no one will dare to go
hahitually armed. A more foolish
habit was never INDUCED in by in
telligent people, and it has entailed
great deal of trouble upon those
who have INDUCED in it. It is not 8
mark of courage, but really indicates
cowardice, and no man who expects
to behave himself like a gentleman
has any use for pistol. In excep~
tlonal cases, circumstances may p0s7
sibly arise when a man would be
justifable in going armed, but very
rarely.
The most trouble experienced in
late years in Tennessee comes from
the license granted certain public
officers to go armed while in dis
charge of their duties. One man
out of thousand, perhaps, is cool,
prudent and cautious enough to ex~
ercise this privilege, But where one
public officer finds it necessary to be
armed, and exercises his privilege
with due caution, two will Overstep
the bounds OF propriety and commit
acts unnecessary and unwarranted
by law. It is hard to deal with these
cases properly, perhaps. 1t would
hardly be right to enact s
law prohibiting sheriffs, marshals
and constables from sometimes
going armed, but such officers
should be held to a strict accounta-
bility for unwarranted acts. They
: have no right to commit murder
merely because they are officers, anC
if they do SO, they are amenable tx
the laws just as other people. We
are satisfied that this privilege has
been greatly abused all over the
State, and it will probably continue
to be until the law makes an exam
) pie of some of the offenders.

TIE "solid South cannot be per-
petuated much longer by fraud and
violence. We see signs of that poll
cp breaking down even in Mississip-
pi, where it has been rampant for a
half dozen years or more. The voice
of reason is beginning to be heard.
Men are beginning to talk out indie
pendeutly, and there is more hope of
"a free ballot and honest count in
that State this fall than there has
been for years. Bourbonism itself is
somewhat modified, so that it is of a
milder type than that which gave
Kemper county and Yazoo such a
wide and unenviable notoriety few
years ago, But that is not all.
Even this milder form of Bourbon>
ism, which is still bad enough, is
meeting with open opposition, and
its right to control the State gov
eminent is to be disputed. The
people of that State will elect a gov
ernor and legislature this fall. The
legislature will elect successor to
Senator Lamar. With a fair express
sion from the voters of Mississippi
and full vote, there is no doubt
about the State going Republican.
That is too much to hope for yet,
perhaps, but it is coming, and Mis-
sssippi will be taken out of the list
of States comprising the solid South.
