THE LAND PURCHASE BILL.
Sketch of the Measure Introduced b,
Mr.. Gladstone.

Mr.. Gladstone.
LONDON, April 22.-The Irish land
purchase blu, which the House OF Com
mons last Friday night gave Mr.. Glad
stone permission to introduce, was is
sued to-day. 1t covers twenty-six
pages. The bill is divided into FIVE
parts. There are fifty-three clauses
and four schedules.
The bin provides that a landlord who is
desirous to sell his property shall apply to
the state authority, the latter shall refer
the application thus made to a land com
mission, which, after making an inquiry,
shall tx price, at which the property
shall be sold, unless the landlord and the
state authority have previously come to
an agreement. Ii the landlord objects to
the price fixed by the commission he may
withdraw his application on paying
the costs. When a sale of prop
erty has been effected the commission
shall pay the creditors before making any
other distribution OF the purchase money.
Certain rent charges may be bought out
rlSnt by the state authority or payment
may be continued from the tenants repay.
ments. In cases OF property whereon there
is reasonable cause to suppose that yalua-
BILE minerals exist the commission shall add
TO the purchase money a fair sum therefor,
and the minerals realized from said
property shall be vested in the state
authority or such local body as
the Irish legislature may provide. The
Irish receiyer-general and deputies, who are
TO execute the financial part OF the act,
shall be appointed to hold office as perma.
nent civil servants subject to the authority
Q. the treasury. They shall be paid from
the imperial exchequer, but the Irish gov
ernment shall appoint the actual collectors.
II the receiver general or any of his deputies
shall be guilty OF malfeasance, the cul-
prit shall forfeit the sums so lost and
also shall be subjected to a fine OF
$500. The measure empowers the treas
ury to create three classes of permanent
annuities, bearing interest respectively at
3, ~ and 2R per cent, and which shall be
charged to the imperial consolidated fund.
Strict rules are provided by the bill which
forbid the sub-dividing or sub-lettine of a
holding so long as it is subject to any state
charge; but the state authority is en-
powered to relax these rules where he may
think 1t advisable. The other points of the
bill were folly covered by Mr.. Gladstones
speech of Friday evening last.

An Ancient Dinner.

The recent excavations of Pompeii
brought to light, near the Temple OF
Juno, house evidently belonging to
some millionaire OF the time, as the
furniture is of ivory, bronze and mar
bic. The couches OF the dining-room
are OF especially extreme richness.
The flooring consists Of immense mo-
saics, well preserved in parts, of which
the center represents table laid out
for a grand dinner. In the middle, on
large dish, may be seen a splendid
peacock, with its tail spread out and
placed back to back with another
bird, also OF beautiful plumage.
Around them are arranged Holsters,
one o. which holds blue egg in its
claw; q second an oyster, which APP
pears to be fricasseed, as it is open
and covered with herbs; q third, rat
farci, and q fourth, a small vase, filled
with fried grasshoppers.
Next comes a circle OF dishes with
fish, interspread with others of par
tridges, hares and squirrels, all OF them
having their heads placed between
their fore feet.
Then comes row OF sausaGes of all
forms, supported by one of eggs, oys-
ters and olives, which, in its turn, is
surrounded by a double circle OF
peaches, cherries, melons and other
fruit and vegetables.
The walls are covered with fresco
paintings OF birds, fruits, flowers,
game and fish OF all kinds-tbe whole
interspersed with drawings, which
lend charm to the whole not
easy to describe. On table OF rare
wood, carved and inlaid with gold,
marble, agate, lapis lazuli, were found
jars still containing wine and goblets

BIo0dhounds in Earnest.

[Frsm the Chatham (Eng) Observer.
An unrehearsed incident of an ex-
traordinary and exciting character
was enacted at the Lecture Hall,
Chatham, at one OF the representations
OF 'Uncle Toms Cabin" during the
past week. One OF the principal and
sensational scenes is that in which
Eliza and her husband, in their fight
for liberty, are tracked and pursued
by real" bloodhounds. On the even
ing referred to one of the "real" blood
hounds was decidedly too realistic IN
its part OF the man hunter, and in
stead OF feigniDg to attack one OF the
male characters actually sprang upon
him, and seizing the unfortunateac actor
by the thigh inflicted a very severe
wound, nor could the enraged animal
be easily disengaged and in the strug-
gle that ensued the flesh OF the bitten
part vas further torn and lacerated.
Without delay a messenger was dis
patched for medical aid, and the poor
fellows wounds were carefully exam
ined and cauterized. Since this un.
fortunate occurrence the service OF the
bloodhounds has been dispensed with

The illage OF East Lee, Mass, was
inundated and dozen lives lost lit
tie before O'Clock on the morning OF
the Goth, by the breaking away OF a
dam at Mud Pond reservoir, Mountain
Lake, about two and half miles
from the village. The pond covered
many acres OF swamp, and was in
creased from its original limited size
by extensive dams built by a club OF
manufacturers as a storage place for
water. East Lee village, whose half
dozen paper mills are situated on the
stream, received its first news of the
accident when the flood came pouring
down the streets, the water being from
four to six feet deep, and bringing with
1t trees, portions OF houses, barns,
fences, wagons and every form of NOV
able property. People fed to
The slopes of the valley, along
winch the torrent was pouring,
aud saw houses moved and toppled
about Ike chips on a river. The
flood passed East Lee and went on
down the road, destroying gardens,
lawns and fences and moving the
smaller buildings. 1t had not the
power, however, to wreck utterly the
larger houses. The scene is one OF ter
fIble desolation. Eleven bodies have
been found, and it is expected that
several more will be discovered, as
three persons who were living in the
track OF the food are missing. Tne
disaster throws a great many hands
out of employment and literally
Paralyzes all East Lee industries. The
loss IN property is fully 100000,
while the expense of repairing roads
and other cost that must fall OF the
town will reach $4,000 more.

A Bad PrOvIder.

From the New Haven Palladium
Ex-Judge5 0lydenburgh and Sheldon
and Lawyer E. c. Dow yesterday
ranged themselves along the attorneys
table in the criminal court, prepared
to contest the case OF hesitate against
Edward L. Allen. Allen is charged
with not supporting his wife, and was
recently convicted OF this offense in
the city court. Having appealed the
case he had a number OF witnesses on
hand yesterday. Allen created consid-
erable surprise by his relation OF the
liberal provision which he had made
for his wife, stating that in the latter
part of November he had given her 80
cents, and on Januray 4 had again re-
pleGished her pocketbook.
Glow much did you give her ?"
queried ex-Judge Blydenburgh, who
occupied State Attorney Doolittle's
place. well, gave her all the money
she needed, :" answered Allen.
Glow mach was that ?"
"Six cents for car fare"
"And you have given her no money

k"e Bodies of Three Missing Boys Found
in a Sand Bank.

in a Sand Bank.
About $50 O'Clock on the evening
OF the Goth, sand-hauler for foun-
dry IN Quincy, Ill, made a ghastIy
find. In loading his wagon his spade
struck and cut the head off human
body. The man at once reported his
discovery, and the coroner was noti-
fled Upon further investigation the
bodies OF three children were exhumed
from the sand bank, and were identi-
tied as those of Eddie and Charles
kIusmeyer, aged respectively -
and Z years, sons of August Klus-
meyer, and Charley Kalterbach, aged
10 years, son OF Charles Kalterbach.
On the 4th day of last September the
three children suddenly disappeared
from home, and their parents made
search for them in vain, and then Of
fered rewards for their discovery. 1t
was the general opinion that the chill
dren had been stolen by river pirates,
and advertisements were inserted in
several papers. A shovel was found
with the dead bodies, and it is certain
that the boys were digging a cave in
the sand-bank, when it caved in and
buried them alive.

Your correspondent to-day visited
the home OF Presly Forrest, son OF
Burr Forrest, nine miles from this
place, who, within the past two
months, has developed such extraor-
dinary spiritual manifestations and
wonderful sightseeing phenomena, and
which have created the greatest sensa-
tion and astonishment among those of
spiritualistic belief, and among the en-
tire neighborhood OF that section, the
people tlockipg miles to see, hear, and

commonly known as spirit
The young man belongs to one OF the
most respected families OF Rutland
Township, is 2S years old, slender
build, and is an invalid and deformed,
being crippled in both hands and feet
from his birth; is very quiet, molten
sive and nOn-cOmmunicative except
when in a trance, at which time he
converses with the spirits OF well
known deceased persons, often stran-
gers to himself, speaking to them in
the language and characteristic way In
which they were accustomed to do, even
in German or other foreign languages,
and he also, while under the same in
huence, gives examples of their par
ticular habits and individual actions
the same as they did when alive, so
that friends readily distinguished the
spirits OF those they were formerly ac
customed to see or associate with.
Forrest also reads and translates Ger
man into English and English into Ger
man with great rapidity, which is not
the less strange since he never studied
or was taught German, being but an
inferior scholar, and having few or no
advantages OF schooling. Persons who
have gone there have been told great
many things relative to their diseases,
infrmities, etc, which he readily dis
covered by looking at them, and which
they fully believed no one else knew Of,
supposing that they were profound
secrets to all except themselves. In
stances of this kind have been numer-

BY 7. b. ALDRICH.

All, sad are they who know not love,
But far from passions tears and smiles
Drift down moonless sea, beyond
The silvery coast OF fairy isles.
And sadder they whose longing lips
Kiss empty air, and never touch
The dear, warm mouth of those they love;
Waiting. wasting, suffering much.
But clear as amber, fine as musk,
Is life to those who, Pilgrim wise,
Move hand in hand from dawn till dusk
Each morning nearer Paradise.
Oh. not for them shall angels pray;
They stand in everlasting light;
They walk in Allah's smiles by day
And nestle in his heart by night

A Quaint Story.
Odd Fellows Talisman.

Odd Fellows Talisman.
It is a beautiful story that in one
OF the cities OF Italy the King caused
a bell to be hung in tower of one OF
the public squares, and called it the
"bell of Justice" and commanded
that any one who had been wronged
should go and ring the bell, and SO
call the magistrate OF the city, and
ask and receive justice. And when,
in the course of time, the lower end
OF the bell rope rotted away: wild
vine was tied to it to lengthen it; and
one day an old and starving horse
that had been abandoned by its owner
and turned out to die. wandered into
the tower and in trying to eat the
vine rang the bell. And the magistrate
of the city coming to see who had
rang the bell, found this old and
starving horse, and caused the owner
OF the horse, in whose service he had
toiled and had been worn out, to be
summoned before him, and decreed
that as this poor horse had rung the
bell OF justice, he should have justice,
and that during the remainder of the
horses life his owner should provide
for him proper food and drink and
stable.

How to Keep Stock In Condition,

From the American Agriculturist.
Young animals at this season are
very susceptible to cold and damp
ness, and any check through failure
to supply q sufhciency OF food at regu-
lar period, or exposure to wet and
cold, may produce injurious results.
Young colts at this season should be
allowed to remain with their dams
as long as they will suckle, as but little
work is required Of breeding mares
during the winter, and ifthe mares
give large quantities of milk the colts
will grow rapidly. Where the young
stock is dependent upon the dams
the food must be of kind that pro-
duces milk rich in all the elements
necessary for structural growth.
Ground oats twice a day, with plen-
tiful supply OF hay, will afford an
abundant amount of nourishment in
the shape OF milk, and on cold days
an allowance OF corn meal may be
given with advantage.
Young calves are often deprived OF
the milk that naturally should go to
them, owing to its value for market,
substitutes being given them the skim

Care Of the Finger Nails.

From the Cleveland Plaindealer. A
In order to have a pretty-looking
hand the finger nails must be kept in
good shape. They should never be
cut too short, as this deforms the fin
ger ends and renders them stubby.
They should always project a trife
beyond the extremity of the finger,
and be paired only to a slight curve,
without encroaching too much on the
angles. To preserve the half moon,
or lunula, which borders the lower
part of the nail, and is thought agreat
beauty, the skin must be kept from
encroaching upon it, by pushing it.
