THE IRISH LAND BILL.
EhGLAND'S PREMIER SUBMITS HIS
SCHEME TO THE COMMONS.

Land To Be Purchased and the Peasantry
Placed Thereon as Proprietors at an
Annual Rental Until Purchase Money
Is Paid-Othcr Foreign Notes.
LONDON, April Ia-Gladstone submitted
his Irish land bill in the commons Friday
night The gist Of the measure is as follows:
The state is to negotiate the purchase OF all
lands except demesne lands, and install the
peasantry therein as absolute proprietors,
subject to an annual rent charge until the
entire purchase money is paid. To effect this
flS0,0J0,O0O of stock would be issued at par.
The total amount would not be raised imIne-
diately, but El0, 600 of the stock would
be issued in 1877, and e20,00o,000 each for
tho two succeeding years Power to relieve
congested districts by removing the surplus
population to less crowded districts would
be vested in the state The rents would be
taken up by government receiver, armed
with sufficient power to enforce their collec-
ton. The present land commission would be
the tribunal before which the question of
prices would he fixed Before the land CON
mission can entertain a motion for the pur
chase OF an estate application by all the

accepted average price, but it is not the
maximum, which is fixed at twenty two
years, but this will he only In exceptional
cases This purchase would entail a charge
upon the Irish exchequer of 2,0J0,0U to
meet which it would b. in a position to levy
for rents r., 10000
When Gladstone roe to introduce the
measure he was greeted with cheers tho o
from the Irish benches being heard above
all others, and when he sat down after
speaking for an hour and half the cheer
ing WAS renewed.
The proposals do not imply that new
loan for tls0, 0O0, 0,0 is to H. issned, but the

Chamberlain said the plan was a modit-
cation of the one in consideration when
he left the cabinet and though he thought
| the measure was for the benefit of the land
| lords rather than the tenants, but still
| with some changes he was inclined to favor
it, Chamberlain remarks ara thought by

Parnell was very brief in his comment as
he was on the home rule bin. He objected,
however to the appointment of receiver

"The action of such COMMITTEES

they voluntarily abandoned After the
serious interruption which the business
of St Louis has already suffered, and at a

established its traffic, it is matter Of re-
greet that any portion of its citizens should

struction of traffic over two OF its principal

THE USE OF SUNFLOWERS.

This plant is a vigorous grower
and has been extolled as a prevent
i've of malarial diseases. The seed
affords excellent food for hens and
also for horses. 1t is said that there
is no kind Of feed that will keep
horses in health, give them a slick
appearance and make them lively
and spirited like the seed of the sun
flower, feeding half a pint night and
morning. 1t is particularly econ
mended for giving a horse power of
endurance, being fed half a pint
night and morning with other feed.
The stalks and heads, after the seed
is worked out, also make good ma
terial for fires, and are especially
convenient in summer, when a quick
fire is desired and an enduring heat
is not wanted. In their growth they
make a snowy appearance about
dwellings, and give an agreeable
fragrance to the air. The latest di-
rection in the line of utilization of
the sunfower is the planting of a
seed in a place at the proper dis
tances, SO that the stalks as they
grow will serve as bean poles. We
have seen them started in that way
this season, and as they grow the
leaves are removed thus forming
an excellent stalk for the beans, but
what the effect will be upon them
remains to be seen. The roots must
tax the feeding capacity Of the soil
quite heavily.
