OUR IRISH VISITORS.

People are almost laughing now when they
think of Our Irish Visitors on Wednesday
evening and it would not be strange if they
laughed week afterwards. A Boston paper

no question possible. There WAS one contin-
uous roar of laughter and applause from be-
ginning 10 end. Messrs. Murray and Murphy

RANK AND FAME.
VIM. Redmond and Mrs Thomas Barry
are so well known to the theatre goers in

consideration that the drama in which they
appear is one of the finest ever put on the
stage of Maine, and the theatre, the Gardiner
finest, appointed stage in the State, it will be
seen that this is chance that theatre-lovers
cannot afford to miss. Rank and Fame" is

The Afghan Frontier Question.
ST.. PETERSBURG, April

ST. PETERSBURG, apr 70.
1t appears that on Friday last a fresh
and almost fnal set of propositions
were made by the British Cabinet through
NJ. de Staal in London. In all probability
they are by this time before NJ. de Giers in
st Petersburg. Among other things | learn
that England has proposed t. submit the
Penideh incident 70 arbitration. There il
10 other way of securing IL peaceful issue
out of the difficulty as long as both Gov
ernmentS stand by the contradictory reports
of their military representatives. Russia,
it seems, is not likely this time TO diSavow
her Generals in Central Asia. Affairs all
round are too much in her favour, and
England will, of course, hold by the opini-
on of Sir. P Lumsden. To reconcile the
two, as [ pointed out nearly a fortnight
ago, will be impossible. Therefore, if war
is still to be avoided, or what is worse, u
humiliating admission of all RusSia'S claims,
arbitration is the only remedy. The whole
attention of both sides has been lately con-
centrated on the unfortunate incident on
the Kushk, d~isregarding altogether the
main objectof actually delimiting a frontier.
The Russian Government, as the journal
de st. Petersburg intimated, evidently wish.
ed England to return to the frontier negO-
tiation proper, treating the Penjdeh Incl
dent as un fat accompli, but the British
Cabinet, in view of its obligations towards
the Afghans, insists upon having this Incl
dent disposed of now.
In view of the friendly relations between
the reigning houses of Russia and Ger
many, it is thought that possibly Kaiser

The Ensilage Commissioned


inquiry was commenced last week at the
Agricultural Department of the Privy
Council which promises to have All i'm.
portant bearing on the future Ofagriculture
in this country. Lord Walsingham pre-.
sided over d commission of agricultu-
rists, who will take evidence as to the best
means of preserving green crops by the Pm
silage process for the use of stock in the
winter. 1t is beyond a doubt that the
British farmers best chance of competing
with the foreigner is in the rearing of cat
tie. and some of the witnesses who nave
been examined state that they can keep
more than double the stock by using ensil-
age, which has other advantages, such as
making sure of securing a crop by harvest.

extra crop to be had. Some witnesses spoke
of substances that were regarded as waste

ed by animals. Mr.. Harris, MP, mention
ing that the rushes grown i'll the Devonshire
valleys, and used for bedding, were actual.
ly eaten after acting as a covering for the
epsilage and getting it's favour. The silOs for
preserving the green crops spoken to by
the witnesses ranged from structures
specially made to digging a hole in the
ground and merely stacking it, sufficiently
weighted to extract and exclude the air.
Lord W~alsingham's agent (Mr. Woods
spoke to ensilage being a valuable auxilia-
ry to dairymen, as 1t could be sent by rail
in cask, and it had actually become an ar,
ticle of commerce, and was sold at Maldon,
in Essex, for sos. a ton. The general
scope of the evidence, so far az it has gone
is that the process only requires to be
known to be generally adopted. Mr.. Moi.
fat, agent of the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture, referred to the reports
to the American Government in the mat
ter, and to a tour in France with Mr..

age competition at the Smithfeld Club.

General Grant may have acquired this
balefnl practice III early youth in imit"-

with admiration and reverence, thinking
he might appear large like him il he also
went abou, paffing smoke. What strange
thing to give person consequence in the
