The owners of these lands exact rent from
those who cultivate them of $40 an acre on an
average. Besides this the farmers have to pay
the entire expense Of keeping up the land, and
are bound by their contracts TO do so much
manuring. keep 50 many cattle, etc.
The wrongfulness of this-the actual detri-
ment&o the community--consists in the fact
that men whose great t-great t-grandfathers were
successful in land grabbing levy an oppressive
tax on the agricultural industries of the coun-
Try to support themselves in idleness and
pampered luxury. No matter what the laws
may be the sense of justice in every man 5 heart
says in unmistakable terms that it is an out
rage that men and women who are no value
whatever to the community, who do nothing
for the public benefit, and contribute neither
brains nor industry to the Commonwealth, shall
live in fatness on the toll of others
Though our laws are not favorable to the ag-
gregation Of landed property in the hands of
heads of families, yet so firmly fixed are the
ideas ofentail, primogeniture, etc, in the minds
of the English landed classes that they will be
made to govern the property that may be bought
in this country by English capitalists.
But the evil from which we have most to
fear is the acquisition of land by great corpora
tions. We do not mean by this the grants to
railroads A great deal of clap-trap finds its
way into the political platforms and speeches
each year in regard to the grants to the Pacific
railroads. As rule this is demagogisrn, pure
and simple. 1t was the wisest and most polite
thing to secure The building of these roads in the
way in which it was done, for their construction
has given millions of people comfortable homes
in what was, before their building, inaccessible
wilds.
Railroads cannot make use of any very great
amount of real estate, unless they adopt the
policy Of leasing farms to actual cultivators-
thing which, fortunately, they have shown no
inclination to do. At present they see that it
is very clearly to their interest to sell their
lands at low prices and make other induce
ments to bring actual settlers on the farms
along their lines So long as this is the case
their possession of the lands is Of no detri-
ment to the community. The greatest danger
from them is that they will one day change
| their policy, and begin leasing their lands, as
the English nobiemen and corporations do.
There is good reason for being alarmed at

THIS WEEK the Kentucky adherents Of the
Lost Cause viii bring home from Atlanta and
inter near the home which he left to enter the
rebel army. one of those who were SO instru-
mental in plunging Kentucky into the vortex
of civil war; Gen. Benjamin Hardlnan Helm
belonged to one of the leading slave holding
families in Kentucky, who did their best to
commit their State to secession, in order, as
they expressed it, TO save their negroes" He
rose to the command of the First Kentucky
(rebelj Brigade, and was killed at Chicka1aauga.
He had received military education, aud had
married sister of President Lincoln's wife.
The President offered him the position of Pay
master in the G. S. Army if he would remain
on the side of the Union, but he declined it.
The local militia and the veteran survivors of
the rebel army will attend the disinterment Of
Gen. Helms remains and escort them to the
railroad depot, and similar ceremonies viii
take place at Eiizabethtown, KY, where the
remains viii be re-interred. 1t is not readily
explainable why man who did 50 much to
bring unnumbered woes upon his State should
be thus honored, but Kentuckians are disposed
to be eccentric.

The story Of Henrietta Robinson the Vailed
Murderess, who was tried and convicted of
murder in the first degree and sentenced to
imprisonment for life 30 years ago, has been
almost forgotten long ago by the busy world,
and yet the unhappy woman still lives in the
asylum for insane criminals at Auburn, n Y.
What her real name is is not known, but that
she was woman of good breeding and eduea-
ton is very certain. It is known that she was
educated with her sister at q fashionable semi
nary at Troy, n. z, and while there formed
the acquaintance of a young gentleman. 4
mutual attachment sprung up between the
young people, which becoming known to her
family, who then lived in Quebec she was
taken home, and subsequently stress
being brought to bear upon her-she married
an English officer She still regretted her ord
love, and her married life was one of continued
bitterness Her husband travelled all over the
Continent Of Europe in hopes that the change
might make her more contented, but all to no
purpose, and finally the unhappy woman fed
from her husband aud returned to this country,
taking up her abode in Troy, where she led an
irregular life for some time. She finally fell
lower and lower, and at last, for some unex-
planned reason, poisoned the keeper of an Irish
GROCERY and her sister. During her trial she
insisted upon wearing vail which entirely
concealed her features, only raising it for few
seconds when ordered to do SO by the Judge
1t is said this poor creature was the daughter
of wealthy English. baronet, and that her
aristocratie friends have never made any efforts
to ameliorate the condition of the mad woman.

The night is come, but not too soOni

QUITE sensation has been produced by the
introduction into the Virginia Legislature of
resolution into the conditions upon which
the Fortress Monroe reservation was eeded by
Virginia to the United States Government,
and inquiring further, in the event Of these
conditions having been violated, what recourse
is left Virginia; whether, in short, this land
does not revert to Virginia. Ifit does, the fort
and all its belongings might be removed or de-
stroyed. Two objects form the animus of this
The first is that the proprietor Of the great
Hygeia Hotel, which is bnilt upon the military
reservation, is an active Malone man. and so
very obnoxious to the party at present dominant
in Virginia. siill farther, by his location on a
military reservation he escapes paying taxes to
the State Of Virginia, which is serious loss to
the revenue of the Commonwealth, as he does
an enormous business, and his sales Of intoxi-
eating Hquors-which are taxed in Virginia
are very large. It would not be very serious
loss to the country if Virginia should be able
to get the fortress back. It is entirely out Of
date, and nearly as useless for offensive and
defensive purposes as medieval castle.

THE memory of the services of one of the
very great men of the war has just been fresh
ened up by the application of the Fidelity
Trust & Safe Deposit Company of Philadelphia
to be discharged from the trusteeship of the
Stanton funds. After the death of Edwin NJ
Stanton, citizens of Philadelphia contributed
s47, sos; of Boston, $4,000, and of Washing
ton, SIS 900 to fund as testimonial to Mr.
Stanton's '' integrity and eminent services to
the country in the Office of Secretary of War,
and for the benefit Of his widow and children
The Fidelity Trust & Safe Deposit Company
took charge of the fund, and has managed it
ever since without charge to the estate So
long as Mrs. Stanton lived the fund was re-
garded as her estate and in trust.for the four
children. She died in November, 1873, and
after the death Of Edwin l. Stanton the eldest
son. in August 1877, his s.ne-fourth share was
awarded to his executrix and widow, Matilda
w Stanton. That share amounted to S24, ,293.44
The next division took place in May, 1873,
when Eleanor Adams Stanton, the eldest daugh-
ter, attained her majority and received one
third of the balance, amounting to 24,115.S4
In January, 1881, Lewis Hutchinson Stanton,
the second son, became of age, and was award
ed half of the remaining balance or $25, ,394 80.
The other half, which viii be the last of the
fund, is now about to be awarded to Miss Bes-

the Jewish ecclesiastical year is governed by
lunar revolutions, instead Of. as with US, by
the earth's voyage around the sun, their New
Year varies from year to year. much more
than it does with US, as our error in notation is
only some minutes in each year-less than q

it does on the Jewish Sabbath, the services in

of the Dead which was celebrated by the

ceased. A letter is then pinned to the paper
figure, stating that his memory is still held in
affectionate remembrance A match is then
applied and both figure and letter is slowly

ieved to be conveyed to the dead.
