The Shame Of England.

London Letter.-It dnvs seem
shame that few people should own all
the land in this great country, and that
while millions can, with the greatest diff
ficulty, exc out scarcely enough to keep
them from starving, privileged num-
ber, who never earned penny in their
lives, and many of whose ancestors
never did, should berolling iii affiuence!
No wonder the working classes are be-
ginning to feel dissatisfied. The more
the facts are scrutinized the greater will
the injustice appear. Twenty-eight
dukes in the United Kingdom possess
one hundred and fifty eight separate es-
tates, comprising nearly four million
acres. The other members of the peer
age, four hundred and ninetv-seven in
number, hold one thousand four hun
dred and thirty-tive separate estates,
embracing about ten million acres. OF
thirty three million acres in England
and Wales, more than seventeen mil
lion acres are owned by a.
body of men which probably does
not exceed four thousand five hundred.
According to Hon. George Brodrick,
Warden of Morton College, Oxford,
nearly half the inclcsed land Of England
and Wales is owned by about two hun
dred and fifty persons. The large at
landed proprietor amongst the peers is
the duke of Sutherland, who owns more
than million acres His rentroll, how
ever, is not as large as that of some
peers with much less property; his in
come from land amounting to only $685.
875, while that of the Marquis of Butte,
who owns only one hundred and sixteen
thousand acres, is considerably over a
| million dollars. The Duke of Bucclench
comes second to the Duke of Suther-
land in number of acres and second to
the Marquis of Butte in size of income.
His land comprises four hundred and
fifty-nine Thousand five hundred and
| fifty acres, and his rent roll is about 81, I.
/ 100000. The Duke of North-cumber
lands rent roll ranks next, being $780,
| 600 and next to him comes the Duke OF
/ Devonshire, with about $4,000 less.
The Earl of Derby and Earl Fitzwil-
/ liam receive rents amounting annually
4 to about 500, 900. Altogether there
are ten peers who each receive over
/ $500, ,O00a year from land.

ATexan Episode.

Recently Georgian, who had gone
to Texas, built cabin in the woods,
and opened a clearing, was charged by
a band Of strangers with being a mur-
derer. Being innocent, he refused to
confess and was dragged some distance
into the woods and was tied to stake.
Several shots were fred at him and the
shot struck close to him. This failing
to frighten confession from him, he
was tortured with knives and finally
singed with frebrands. Daylight COM
ing on, his tormentors hurried away,
leaving him tied to the stake with a
promise that he would DE left there un-
til he starved to death. -Four days and
nights he remained in this situation,
without food or drink He was fast be-
coming mad, when one night solitary
man, disguised beyond recognition, Wis
tied him and gave him water and food.
On the seventh night he was as mysteri-
ously set free. On regaining his home
! to make preparations for flight he
|. learned that the real murderer had been
| caught and Iynched.

The Human Pace.

Nothing is more wonderful than the
human face. At first merely negative,
innocent and pretty, as seen in the in
FAINT, it responds in the young person to
every emotion and passion as quickly
and as truly as do the musical chords to
the touch; and when, later in life, per-
sonal character has become matured and
fixed, the face tells to every discrimin-
ating observer what that character is.
Some faces are naturally beautiful,
yet actually repulsiye: others naturally
homely, yet actually attractive. We
may veil the true face by training it to
some artificial expression; but the dom
sinant trait will at times fash into the
features, Like lightning from . cloud
and betray the secret.
II we would look pure, just, lind.
generous, wise and manly, we must VIZ.
tually be all this in the debts Of our be
ing. If we are 1ustfuI, grssping, self
ish, proud, deceitful, cunning, VIC Can
not permanently keep thu face from
hanging out the expression that is ths
horrid sign Of these base aualities.
| But there ere faults of the face winch
we cannot easily correct, if TIC taie hold
of them In time, though even these cm-
meet with inner tendencies. We csz

beauty. There then begins in conne1
ion with graver habit of thought

You, in your stately lovelness-

Hot Waves in England and Amer
ion


Hot Waves in England and Amer
y ica.
From the New York Herald
Recently the heat in London sent the
mercury up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit,
the most intense heat that had been ex.
perienced there in twenty years. On
the 18th of July, 1881. London was
visited by warm wave" in which the
shade thermometer registered 94.6 at
Camden Square and 97.1 degrees at
Greenwich, while thermometers expos
ed to the direct solar rays went more
than so degrees higher. Such Italian
heat in the British Islands is phenome-
nal No wonder that it caused par
tial suspension of work in the metrop.
oils and several deaths from sunstroke.
il is remarkable that simultaneously
| with this outburst of solar energy in
| England the thermometer in Northern
| Montana (on the 11th) read 93 degrees
at Fort Buford, and on tbs 18th also
in the same district, the mercury rose tt
81. On the 18th the maximum hea
for the day at Fort Buford was report
ed::to be 100 degrees! This coincidence
apparently disproves the theory tha
| the question of temperature in any civ
EN- country. is merely a question o
transference Of heat from one part o
the cartl's surface to the other.
