pictures which he drew some forty
or more yeara ago in Punch OF "ye

man,-ffty-seven Mt the lime of his
death,-but he was, perhaps unfor-
tunately for the world, independent
of his profession, and I%atterly had
not added much to those playful
studies of the g%rotesque, which
constituted the charm of his various
illustrations of fairy legend. That

is not raised on constitutional grounds
and the Grown Prince, who is by no
means a person of ecclesiastical pro-
clivities, is not likely to give way
unduly while he will have this adj
vantage, hat if he gives assurances,
the Pope will be secured against
changes consequent On a new reigr.
A visit Of courtesy, which, indeed, if
the Prince goes to Rome could hard
~ be avoided, is not in itself an act
of submission.
The Poet Laureate is really to be
made a Baron, and it is said that he
will take the title of Lord Tennyson
DEyncourt, an old title in the Ten
nyson family. The news has been
received with universal and, we
think. legitimate depression. 1t is
felt hat Mr.. Tennyson is dearer to
the English people than Lord Ten
nyson DEyncourt can ever be nOr
is there any thing to set off against
this feeling in the probable gain of
the House Of Lords. 1t will not be
easy to think of the great lyrical
poet apart from the worldly distinc-
ton he has thus gained for himself
by his poetry, and yet it will be still
less easy to think of him as having
naturally grown into that sort of dis
tinction. The peerage will be at best
an ill-ftting Court costume, which
will be bewildering at once to the
political and the poetical associations
of Englishmen. We heartily wish
that Mr.. Tennyson had refused the
graceful tribute paid to his noble
genius.
Mr.. Parncll received the tribute
raised for him by the Irish people,
a sum already over $4,000, and
which is expected to reach e40,0 900
before it Closes at a banquet given
to him on Tuesday night in the Dub
lin Rotunda, and in reply delivered a
speech which came mainly to this
that he was very grateful to the Irish
people, and would prove it by hating
the English people and the English
Administration with even more than
his former tenacity of detestatIOn.
He congratulated himself on the Land
League movement, and was not
ashamed to say that "never was there
q movement formed to contend
against such an infamous and horrible
system" Gas the land system of Ire
Iand), in association with which
there was such an utter absence of
crime, and strong passions which
lead to crime" As there has seldom
been a movement of the kind during
the present century in connection
with which there has been more of
crime, and of the strong passions
which lead TO crime, we suppose Mr..
Parnell means hat he can easily
imagine a jacquerie more cruel and
more bloodthirsty than the Irish JAG
querie of 1881. No doubt he. can,
but moderation is not proved by fall
ing short of such a standard of crime
as an active fancy can suggest.

whom the world owes the admirable

Murder at Menokenl.

On Tuesday, the 21st inst, Thomas Ma
gill, son of 8. g. Magill, of the Clarke
farm, shot and killed Melville H. Bessey,
the Menoken blacksmith. As there were
no witnesses to the shooting, the only ev-
idence obtainable is purely circumstan-
tiai. 1t seems that, on account of finan-
.cial troubles at the farm, young Magill,
as agent for H. F. Miller, Of Fargo, who
held bill Of sale for the blacksmith
shop occupied by Bessey, and which Ma
gill was ordered to replevin for Miller,
was compelled to notify Bessey that he
would soon have to vacate and look for q
new location. Magill stepped into, the
blacksmith shop on his way hunting, and
what transpired there previous to the
shooting no one but the prisoner knows,
and he, by the advice of his counsel, will
make no statement at present. Attorney
John A. Stoyell, of Bismasek, has been
retained by Maglll. The preliminary exam
ination was ,sheld before Justice Hare,
who remainder the prisoner to jail with
out bail to await the action Of the grand
jury.

pings of malice to change our views.
In our advocacy of men for public posi-
tions of trust we will not pause to ask as
to their likes or dislikes. We know of
candidates on the county ticket who are
supposed to be personally unfriendly to
Yeater-men who are competent and wor.
thy. And the RECORD, did opposition
to them exist, would be found strong in
their Endorsement. A mans loves and
hates are his personal property ; it 10 the
province Of journal to advocate the
election of those whom it believes will
best serve the public.
If the Second Commissioner District
desires to hold up its head with its sister
districts for the next two years, let it cast
its votes for man who possesses the en-
ergy and sagacity to properly represent it.

A Big Blaze.

Last Friday night the prairie fires came
upon the Williamsport people At sun.
down Of that evening the sky to the south
and southeast of town was lurid with the
reflection of the flames which were wiping
the grass from the face of the prairie.
A brisk breeze was blowing from the di-
rection of the fire, and it soon became ev-
ident that the residents of the town and
country must make. ready to fight the de-
vouring element. A frebreak surrounded
Williamsport; but, fearing it would
prove insufficient, the teams and plows
Of Messrs. Armstrong and Connor and
Landlord Walker were hurriedly set to
work, and worked with will. On came
with the rapidity of race-horse but
when it reached the furrows, by the ener.
getic Tapping Of wet gunnybags and
other conventional weapons used in such
emergencies, it was kept out of town.
The breaking on the farms south and
southeast separated the fire into distinct
parts, and, thus separated, they sped
upon their, work of destruction, going
northwest. A short distance outside of
the town fire. break the Williamsport
school-honse is situated. About two
o'clock the flames we're travelling rapidly
in that direction but, through the efforts
of Messrs. Croghan and Williams, they
were stopped at trail few feet from
the building.
In this neighborhood some damage was
done to stacks; but sufficient pasturage
was saved to furnish food for stock dur
ing the fall winter and spring. Those
we have heard Of as losing hay or grain
stacks were Messrs. Tape, Worst, Fieldea,
Bergey, Rupert and Hawkes.. It was
feared that shifting Of the wind might
drive the fire down into the river bottoms,
and destroy the pasturage SO much
needed for the herds of stock there
| owned but it did not reach that region
There was a. close call for hay, grain,
and possibly the house. barn and other
buildings, at the home of County Treas
urer Roop, six miles from town. How
ever, through the herculean efforts of the
people on the farm. the fire was beaten
back from the stacks and buildings, after
it had jumped the fire. break.
Reports from Burleigh County are to
the effect that much damage was done
there. Mr.. Sinclair lost 5000 bushels of
threshed oats another farmer lost val
liable imported stallion, and many whose
names we were unable to learn lost grain
and hay.
