this country with his brother, Lord

these young fellows still went along with

roadside, standing rather on a hill, which
had but one bed in it and was inhabited
by poor woman. We concluded to
stop there for the night, and these young
lords lay down on the floor with nv
staff, making no complaint, and insisted
on my taking the bed.
The staff officers got to like them

Hancock, the latter Of whom expressed
his sympathy with ali efforts for politi-
cal reform and purity in Office, and 9th

left for the Democratic party to
d0-elther to adopt the Philsdel-

As an agricultural country Great
BTitsin appears to be steadily on the de-
cline, and not only this but its decline in
this direction is remarkable. Stats
tics show that within the last
dozen years the increase of pastur-
age has been very large, but the
falling Of in the live stock raised has
been enormous. OF. sheep, the census
OF 1881 returned q loss Of over Z, Zoo, 600,
as compared with the return of 1868.
OF this great loss, 5.54s. COO was in Eng
land, col, 600 in Wales, 3S1, 600 in Scot
land and !, 564, 600 in Ireland. A low
estimate Of the net amount Obliterated
from the capital Of the British farmers
during the last dozen years is $41, Co.,
000. This, says the London Times, SIS
indeed a sorry position at the close of
thirteen years Of agricultural toll and ex-
penditure and application of improved
methods in every process of husbandry,
which should have grestly augmented
the head Of live stock as the most i'm
poTtant portion Of the visible wealth of
the farmer" OF course the loss is all
the more striking when it is considered
thst It occurred on an increased area of
cultivated and pasturage land. Further
more. irrespective Of the falling of in
yield, Great Britain in the same period
shows $4,000. coo loss in grain crops.
These facts the Boston Post takes from
an elaborate article in the London Tines.
and are striking proofs Of the oft heard
statement that Great Britain is every
year lessening in importance as an agri-
cultural country and depending more on
other countries for her meat and grain.

In MgMoRY or DE LONG
Touching Interchange OF Sentiments
Between the Families of the Are
Tie Explorers.



Throughout yesterday flag was at
half mast over the cottage OF Engineer
Melville. at Sharon Hill, near this city,
where 1t was placed on Saturday morn
ing by Mrs. Melville Immediately after
hearing the sad news of De Longs
death. In the Saturday mail Mrs. Mel
vile received two packages. One was a
letter from Mrs. De Long, acknowledge
ing the receipt of copy of piece Of
music which Elsie Melville, the intrepid
engineers little daughter, just eight
years old, had composed and dedicated
to the lady.
This piece OF music is a weird march.
very simple and sad, in which the child
mas expressed in music her ideas of her
fathers tiresome search for his lost COM
rades in the Siberian wilds. 1t was
composed about month ago, and since
its publication under the title of Mel
ville's March to De Long" has attracted
great a.tention. Mrs. De Long described
how her own little daughter, Sylvia,
VINO is partially blind and has to be kept
in a darkened room with her ewes
handaged, had played it over, and what
pleasure and consolation it gave them.
She expressed no hope of hearing of her
husband alive, but said she trusted Mel
vile would survive the march, whatever
its end, and be restored to his family.
Mrs. Melville's sympathetic pleasure
was turned to instant grief the moment
she opened the next package, containing
the account of the finding of the dead
bodies of De Long and his party by her
husband. She burst iato tears, and,
going to her room. was overcome with
grief. She sat down as soon as CON-
posed, and sent a dispatch to Mrs. De
Long, saying: 81 would l could take
you in my arms and share at least a p0r-
ton of that great, unutterable sorrow
which l feel must he in your heart. 3"
Even the children were in tears, and the
family from whom the father has been
separated for so many years knelt to-
gether and prayed for the other father
less and husbandless ones, to whom they
were bound by such close and tender

The 500. Geo. eco appropriated for pen
sions this year makes the military ap-
preparations of the United States the
second largest in the world. Not even
Germany takes as much from the tax
payer to meet the cost of war as the
United States EDgland takes nearly as
much, but not quite. France. the only
other great republic, alone expends more
than the United States on army, navy
and military pensions. 1t is not quite so
bad to spend money On pensions to men
for the most part engaged in the produc-
tive industries of the people as on SOL
diers doing nothing; but raising 800,
OOO, 900 on pensions from the industry of
the land and distributing 1t as lsrgesse is
certain to breed trouble in trade and
business. 1t may make it easier to raise
our next army, but it will also bring the
next panic nearer.

Gladstone's Difficulties.

Mr.. Gladstone has introduced his Irish
arrears Of rent bill in Parliament, the
object of which is to transform every
Irish tenant into an owner of the soil,
and which has been introduced evil
IDENTIFY with the intention OF pursuing
his policy of Cancellation in Ireland, not
withstsnding the recent unfortunate and
brutal assassination of Lord Cavendish
and Mr.. Burke. He will, undoubtedly,
have great difhculty in carrying out his
plans, however, as he will be brought
face to face with an opposition formid
able before, but strengthened by those as
sassinatiOns to an extent which it is
impossible to estimate, and which may
yet led &C the overthrow of his govern
ment. The recent introduction oT the
repression bill proves this, and it is very
evident that conciliatory measures can
not be consummated with anything like
the readiness which seemed probable
before those murders were committed.
As a contemporary aptly remarks:
The government cannot 90 on pre-
cisely as if Cavendish and Burke
had not been murdered. That horri-
bic deed has had just the effect
upon English public opinion, in and out
of Parliament, which might have been
expected. This opinion tbc Ministry must
respect, or risk disastrous consequences
Gladstone is immensely popular, but
there is limit beyond which he will
hardly dare trust his popularity. To
follow up the arrears of rent bill with
other legislation in the same direction
would be, as it seems to US, suicidal.
Indeed, if that dill can he passed in the
present temper of Parliament it will be a
wonder; and if it is, the friends of Ire
land cannot consistently ask more until
the excitement now prevailing shall have
materially diminished. Meanwhile the
iron-clad repression bill is sure to become
a law, and under its terrible pressure
arrears of rent are likely to be completely
forgotten.

causo Of the Rhux Of Gold.

II seems incredible, but nevertheless it
is true, that the large outflow Of gold
from this country is due not to the i'm
portation from abroad of the actual neces-
saries of life, but to the large purchase
of foreign luxuries, and handsome dresses
and gew.gaws by the wealthy. There is
nothing among the imports which now
turn the balance against the United
States which could not be dispensed with
without the least unpleasant deprivation
or the slightest contraction Of our own
productions or curtailment of domestic
industries. But, as the st. Louis Repub-
Rcan remarks, these considerations will
not check the tendency to over buying
or even tend to the restoration Of a
favorable balance. The current of i'm
ports will flow in upon US, and the yell
low tide go out till the vast productions
of the country change it, or till, in the
event of short crops, II they shall recur,
universal commercial stress and business
stagnation bring the subject home to all
classes of the people. 1t would, says
that paper, "be as easy to command the
elements and to put limits upon the
energies of nature itself as to change
the course of public taste and prescribe
prudent bounds to the consumption OF
luxuries and the indulgence of extrava-
gances of a population such as we now
are III the United Statee. The cycle of
flush times and hard times will be com
pleted, and the lessons of economy and
wisdom will be learned only in the school
of experience Fortunately there appears
to be little doubt that a great crop will
put of the dreaded period of hard times
indefinitely, and that such stress as
brought so much hardship from 1878 tc
1873 will be put off till the condition:
shall be widely different from those nov
in view. 1t is, however, humiliating to
modern craftsmanship and our boosted
general intelligence that country OF
such varied and vast resources as our;
should not learn wisdom enough By The
aid of political science to forever avoid
the evils which ever wait upon violated
economical laws"
