describes tho measures being taken IN
Ireland to take advantage of the pro-
visions OF the migration" and other
clauses of the tramways act, OF the
Laborers, and of the Fisheries acts.
He says that the English peasants are
about entering on an agitation some
what similar to that which has been
carried on in Ireland for land reform.
Mr.. Dewitt has been invited to take
part in this new agitation. He thinks
that the appreciative tone OF the Eng,

furnishes good grounds of hope for
Ireland, and of better state Of feeling
between the Irish and English people.

Mans Grandest Treasure.

The grandest treasure it is possible
for man to possess on earth is q
good wife. The poorest investment
he ever made is a worthless one.
Personal adornment may please the
eye OF the vulgar, but it will not hide
a false heart. Sin may cloak itself
for brief season in the garment of
hypocrisy, but sooner or later it shall
come to Judgment. The affection is
a priceless jewel, the embodiment of
earthly bliss. In the true union of
husband and wife money should not
enter into the consideration. The
happiest homes the world ever knew
have been bought and paid for by mu-
tual earnings after marriage. Ths
good and true wife adorns her home
and makes it a little heaven. 1t j,
the abode of a royal family, a King
and Queen dwell within. There are
no false gods in such household.

Pooling ON a grand scale began IN
1878. in the South. But for the water
routes, Mr.. Fink admitted, it would go
rather hard with the people, as the
pinch which shippers now get at the
close of navigation would be an all de.
stroylng grip but that the dread OF
something after springtime puzzles the
magnates will. The gospel according
to Fink is, that when competition be.
tween individuals become rulnous IL
stops itself; but when corporations get
into such q fight it cannot be stopped
by the mere ruin of the properties in
yolved. Competition must be eliml.
mated in order to make tho business OF
transportation possible. Mr.. FINK
pronounced the scheme OF Govern
mental purchase and control OF the
railroads, the widest folly imagin-
able. 10 a question as to whether the
people could not be relieved OF their
causes of complaint, Mr.. Fink grimily
responded that so long as the people
were charged anything at all they
would remain obdurate.

ports his grain to England and completes
on English sol. with the agriculturists of
that country, backed by the pauper labor
of which we hear 80 much.
Now if the American farmer can afford
to pay for labor in this country, ship his
grain to the seaboard and from thence to
Europe and successfully compete with
the wheat growing countries of Europe
in European markets, why should not
American manufacturers, having the pro-

answer and necessitates recourse to soph-
istry.

THE Springfield Republican, although
published in Massachusetts where the
public sentiment is strong against the

warmly with England in her remonstrance
against America harboring those who
threaten the peace of the United King

have been driven to the United States
and from serfs have become men,
Whatever of vindictiveness they show
comes from the treatment they received
while in Ireland, and not from the recep-
ton America has given them. England
has herself to blame.
