 hat they will be allowed jO enjoy its fruits. The question how far country
 ike the Uni.ed States would tolerate ,ransplantation of the British system oi vast territorial inherithuces is more ser Ious. If the nOblemen and gentlemen who hare been investing capital Iu American domains be planning the crea- tion of alternative seignlorIes in Amer ica after the model of their British patrimonies, it may be doubted whether they will not find the local prejudice loo strong for them. For prOpnetOrs who mean to occupy their land themselves there is abundance of room and of vel come across the Atlantic An English man Is free to own any quantity of acres from hundred to hundred thousand ar more which he can and will farm. It IS surprising that British land-owue-s, with several sons accustomed Co rural pursuits, and without an opportunity at home of turning to them for proi,s- sion, have not more generally taken to planting them on estates of their own on the vast and fertile North American continent. It remains 10 be seen whether some of the recent American purchases which have provoked animadversiOn have not been made with this very laudable intention. \ majority of them have plainly the in- nocent character If investments with Q view to future redistribution at a profit among smaller occupants. What may be the eventual fate of these sanguur promoters and more sanguins syn licates. with their millions of acres iu forest and more millions under water. it IS supertiuous tn speculate.

IT is stated fiat O'Donneu has ex- pressed his disgust at the fact that there have been no steps taken in Ire land to procdre funds for his defense. It may be that the Irish people look at O'Dpnnells case as "lorlorn hope
 that there is no help for him, and that any funds they might raise for his defense would do DO good. O'Dounell will yet learn before he dies that there are thousands of Irishmen who applaud the assassination Of Carey, who care nothing for the instrument nor what becomes of him. 4 cooler head than ODonnrlrs would have more carefully considered the situation ID all its bear ings before engaging in 1t. It will be no satisfaction to him that he has died for killing so worthless a creature as Carey, aud DO good will follow the act; he has put himself beyond the help ot funds and he can only await his doom.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

After years of trials and experiments, the mine owners of Arizona have con eluded that every lode and prospect hole will not warrant the erection Of mills and smelters. Not only this, but they have about made up their minds that there are but few mines which can be sold for fabulous sums, and that the surest way to success IS not to hold on and wait for big money. when they can
 realize good pay by working their mines. IL IS said that there are five thousand ming locations in Pima county, and We presume there are 45,OOO mining locations in the Territory. It Is not reasonable to suppose that half of these locations will ever prove to be of any raal value. It may be that not one-fourth Of them can ever be made to pay; II even one fittb, or 5000 locations conld be made to pay, ArIzona would greatly lead all other mining countries m the number of productive mlnes. But If we go down to bed rocs. and find one thousand producing mines, or one out of every forty-iiye, still we would have more than have ever yet been sue cessfully worked in any other State or Territory. But theorizing amounts to nothing. We have what We have and no more; that We have a large number of mines in every section of the Territory that will pay, and from which more or less good ore can be taken, there Is nOj any doubt whatever. Some of the large
 mines will warrant the buildiug of mill or smelters for tLe reduction of Jhel
