A SCOTCH LAND LEAGUE.

At a meeting held recently at Dingwa1l, Scotland, an organization was formed which promises to do for that section of Great Britain what the land league has already done for Ireland. Less than two years ago this agitation was started by six or eight Scotch men, who met in 8 back parlor of London inn, and the result of their work is now seen in branches of the Highland Land Law Re form association, which are found all over the Highlands of Scotland and the islands on the north and west coasts The pro gramme adopted at this meeting, at which delegates were present from almost all parts of the coun- try, was the establishment of land court which shall determine what are fair rents; the irremovability so long as the fair rents thus fixed are paid; free sale of tenant right; power to tenants to shoot deer and other game on land in their occupation, and the compulsory enlargement of old and the com pulsory formation of new townships. It was further agreed that no candidate for Parlia- ment would be accepted in the Scotch High lands who would not stand on the programme adopted by the conference.
 How much force this association will have remains to be seen. It has already number of members of Parliament in it's favor, and although most of it's members are probably prevented from voting by the prop erty qualification which surrounds suffrage in Great Britain there are enough who do vote to exercise not little influence in general election. The Boston Herald has this to say of the movement: The condition of these Highland farmers does not seem to be in any way an improvement on the condi ton of the tenant farmers in Ireland before the Irish land aet went into effect They have been driven from their homes for the pt1r- pose of enabling the landlords to convert sec tions of their estates either into sheep pas lures, to be let to southern farmers, or into deer ranges, to be leased out to London bankers or American millionaires. In either case, the change has involved the uprooting of family associations that had hundreds of years of growth, and the poor crofter has in countless instances seen the home that not only sheltered him, but also his grandfathers for generations back, torn down, and has had no alternative offered him but to make his way with his family, as best he could to America or some of the English colonies to find work. The precedent estab- ished by the Irish land act will make it vast ly easier for the Scotch reformers to carry out the plans they have proposed, and when ever new Parliament comes together, one may expect to see there a number of mem bers who, having been elected upon the land reform issue, will make this condition of their support of either of the great political parties.

 ''It gets to be pretty cold here in winter, I suppose" said Texan who had just ar rived in Washington to a member of Con gress from that State. "Yes, occasionally.

 "Even more extraordinary incident, 'said a student of nature, ''occurred when I was a boy in Peru. My brother and were snow balling each other one fine morning. l lost my temper, picked up solid chunk of ice and threw it with all my might at Jim, who was standing but a dozen feet away. Just as the ice left my hand the mercury took such an upward jump that poor Jim was severely scalded by the hot water that was showered on him. The ice had melted in transit. "-Bos- ton Times.

German and Italian opera.


 The people have been surfeited and we'll nigh nauseated with the meretricious and half-voluptuous Italian opera, with it's threadbare repertory and imperious and in- satiable ''stars,' until true musical art has almost perished from our midst. Only an occasional oratorio or cantata by the chorus under Dr. Damrosch, winter after winter, and Mr. Thomas with his persevering Wag- ner reproductions, have kept the higher art from utterly dying out. Save Q handful of amateurs in our chief cities, the concert-go- ing people are as ignorant of the splendid masterpieces of the German school as they are of the art treasures of the Pitt palace or the Louvre. Indeed, the word opera, which is only much misunderstood synonym for poems, has a diseased aspect which drives the religious world into strict quarantine against it's dreaded infections, and any musl- cal structure under this baleful title was ln- stinctive1y left severely outside. We sympa- thize so heartily with this popular concep- tion, so far as it touches Italian opera, that it would seem a providential riddance could this whole seductive, debilitating mass of art proclamation be swept out Of existence There is nothing good either for art or nor als in Italian opera. It is beneath contempt
 
 vice and lasciviousness, not to say profanity and irreligion.
 But German opera opens quite another life and world to us. Its creations are among the highest art-utterances of human genius. It takes place with the consummate art of the great painters and architects. It has largely an epic grandeur of motive and construction It is enough to say that all intelligent anna teurs within easy reach will at one time or another make pilgrimage of reverent duty while the masterpieces of Richard Wagner have the boards. If musical people remain ignorant of this modern master, it is well to give him early and careful study. Perhaps no man ever brought such wealth of many sided genius to the service of this most spir- itual and religious of the arts. Under his magic the mystery of the middle and early ages of myth and legend is brought to our hearts doors, while his idiom is colored with it's early splendors and Vaccinations. Indeed, the religious quality of his chief productions is irresistible, and harmonies and musical phrases seem penetrated with an unsuspected deyoutness and significance.

 From Mr. William W. Jones. of Cardono, Clay county Ind.-For the last two years I have been seriously unwell. It would be difficult to describe all the little ailments that have united to render my existence miserable :n the extreme. Pains in the breast-a heavy, dull sensation in my head-faint- ness at the stomach.,weakness in the legs-kdneys badly deranged-restless Seep-compleXion sallow --strength all gone. Rendered desperate, went to the northern part of Michigan hoping that change of climate would do me good. I got no benefit. Last spring I went to the city of TeTre Haute and resorted the arteSan baths there for five weeks. One day glancing through the papers, noticed an advertisement of Burdock Blood Bitters. In June commenced taking this medicine, though, must admit, with little or no expectation of relief The result was, however, marvellous and gratifying be- yond measure. Since using these Bitters have not lost days work They take right hold and the effects are always pleasing.

 An interesting article in the Deutsche Gumdeigenthum shows how extraordinarily railroads have increased the growth of inland capitals. In TAO Berlin was already the cap ital of powerful kingdom, but it's situation was such that the farmer in bringing his goods to market over the bad roads con- stunned on the journey more than half their market value, and great difficulty was felt in provisioning large population. When, in 1S43, the influence of railroads first began to be felt, Berlin had 330, ,230 people; in 1861, 547, GOO; in 1871, s26, 1000; in 1881, 1, ,122, 300 -an increase of nearly s0O,O0O in thirty seven years.

 often serve to calm troubled waters and se- cure the safety of ships in an open sea where the rolling motion of the pillows is slmply up and down with no actual progress of water but the character of breakers is altogether different from that of open sea waves, as the

Hereafter there will be no appeal from the commissioner of patents to the secretary of the interior in patent cases passed upon by the commissioner. This matter has been set As1 t..- ~ .ss.I,reme court of the United States. The court bolds that ths commis- sioner of patents has the exclusive right to decide for himself whether or not a patent ought to issue, and that the secretary has no authority to review such finding. Appeals will be taken from the commissioner to the courts direct in the future, instead of through the head of the department.

A Story Of Senator Sawyer.

He lived on stony patch in New
York until he was past 20 years old,
and, according to report, spent his boy
hood days filing the noses OF his fathers
sheep to point so they could get at
the blades of grass that struggled
through the ipterstices between the
recks. When he went to Wisconsin he
spent several months trudging through
the pine forests locating the best timber
and laying out the campaign which has
made him second richest man in the
State, Alexander Mitchell overlapping
him $15, 900, 600 or $40, 100000.
A story is told illustrative OF the
manner in which a party of New York
capitalists, who attended a sale of
Wisconsin pine lands ain the fall of '49
or spring of go, played him for q
sucker" Philetus came to the sale
with little notebook full of descrip-
tons of choice sections, and when a
block of land was offered he would
consult the book, and if, he wanted it
he would begin bidding. The capital
lists knowing of his thourough knowl-
edge of the lag of the land, availed
themselves of his information, and out
bid him every time. His capital was
small, and theirs practically unlimited.
Philetus didn't know what to do, but
finally bright thought struck him,
and he had the sale postponed until
the next day. That night he posted
an agent to buy in such sections as he
(Sawyer) did not bid on. When the
sale was resumed the verdant importa-
tion from the stone patch bid on every
water lot, swamp, and piece OF worthless
timber land in Northeastern Wisconsin,
making the most reckless and liberal
propositions, but reluctantly permitting
the other side to outbid him at the
going, going, gone point. Philetus
fumed, and tradition says that the at
mosphere of profanity in those parts
was sitting for a few hours. The CAPT
talists enjoyed the joke immensely,
laughing heartily at Philetus' discomti-
ture. Meanwhile Sawyer's agent was
quietly taking in all that was worth
having at next to nothing. The CAPT
talists returned to their homes. Years
passed. Philetus arose early, retired
late, sawed logs galore, and waxed cor
pulent in purse and fat in pocket,
builded him an elegant mansion in po-
etc Oshkosh, founded banks, bought
newspapers and hired men to run them,
was elected Mayor and then sent to the
Legislature three or four years, and to
Congress five terms.-WashingtOn Re-

Striking Contrast.

The change from the wealth and
splendor of London to the poverty and
distress of Dublin is striking and de-
pressing. The fashionable squares of
the city are lined with houses which
were stately and elegant, but their
glory has long since departed. The
Irish ladies and gentleman one sees on
Sackville street, Merton Square. Graf
ton street, and other fashionable prom
enades of Dublin, are very different in
appearance from the Irish women who
rule over so many American kitchens,
and the Irish men who control the pol
itics of so many American cities. The
Dublin girls have bright eyes, lovely
compilations, beautiful voices, with a
step as light and graceful as the fawn,
and they are just AZ sweet as they are
graceful. Sackville street is embel-
lished with q new and beautiful monu-
ment to Daniel O'Connell and an inn
posing monument to Nelson, somewhat
similar to the one in Trafalgar Square,
London. There are also statues of
Tom Moore, Grattan, Burke, and Gold
smith. The two last are in front of
Trinity College, of which they were the
most distinguished ents.-FOreign
