From Foreign Lands.

In the house Of commons Monday, Glad
stone introduced the arrears of rent bill. He
explained that the bill was limited to tcnan-
cics up to $50, Grit1ith's valuation. It will
be administered by q land commission,
which will be assisted by county court
judge, before whom the tenant will be obliged
to prove inability to pay arrears. Either the
landlord or tenant may apply to the COM
mission The bill only deals with two years
arrears, and requires tenants to pay one
year arrears from November, 1880, to No.
vcmbcr, 1881. When that is paid, the whole
OF the remaining arrears will be cancelled.
The government will contribute the remain
ing one years rent from the residue of the
amount of which is 81, 100000. There is 10
reason to believe that the claims on the gov-
crnmcnt contribution will exceed e2,OOO,0OO.
The remaining 100000, therefore, will be
made up from the consolidated fund The
progress of the bill will depend upon the
progress of the repression bill, which cannot
be displaced.

chascs and leases arc necessary, and that on
completion thereof the land league would
do all that is possible to suppress outrages in
Ireland. Foster asked that the whole letter
be read. O'Shea then read paragraph
omitted by Parncll stating if the reforms
specified were made the land lcaguers might
act cordially with the Liberals III support of

1t was now the afternoon and the Fed
eral column had not made Il decisive ad-
vance to attack Stuart, who was waiting

four o'clock the expected assault was
suddenly made. Stuart was beside
Brcathed's guns, near his centre, when
the edge of the woods OH the mountain
road swarmed with blue horscmen, every
sabre drawn, and the line rushed upon
the guns. The attack was SO sudden and
before it. The weight of it fell on the
left under General Lomax, and this gave

into disorder and was apparently about
to break when Stuart made his appear

was everywhere, with drawn sabre and
flushed face, encouraging his troops, and
under the effect Of his presence the men
reformed and met the enemy sabre to

for by this time the hot blood of the sol
dier was completely aroused in him, and

It was soon, however, decided. The
Federal force was too heavy and the

evidently reached the turning point and
Stuart saw the desperate character of his
situation. It was difficult to use his ar

were scattering in every direction and

shouted: "Breathed, take command of

THE PRINCESS SONG,
From Edwin Arnold's Poem in Harpcr's for
Nav

From Edwin Arnold's Poem in Harpcr's fo
May.
In paths of peace and virtue
A Always the good remain;
And sorrow shall not stay with them
Nor long access Of pain;
At meeting or at parting
Joys to their bosons strike
For good to good is friendly,
And virtue loves her like.
The great sun goes his Journey
BY their strong truth impclled;
BY their pure lives and penances
Is earth itself upheld;
Ofall which live or shall live
Upon its hills and fields,
Pure hearts are the protectors
For virtue saves and shields.
Never are noble spirits
Poor while their like survive;
Without request these render,
Without return they give.
Never is lost or wasted
The goodness Of the good;
Never against mercy,
Against a right it stood;
And seeing this, that virtue
Is always friend Of all,
The virtuous and pure hearted
Men their 'prOtcctOrs" call.
