Mr.. Gladstone'S home-rulc bill. and
the great speech delivered 10y him in
its behalf has attracted the attention
of the civilized world The criticisms
called out by this fearless advance
step of the grand old man have been
inuumerahle and most varied. both in
Europe and America OF all the
comments which have come under our
notice we think that the following
from The New York star does the
greatest justice to the statesman. his
measure and his speech;
Mr.. Gladstone's great effort is one of
large Importance To civilization. The
spirit rather than the letter of the plan
he has offered for the establishment of
home rule in Ireland is the first thing
that must strike the thoughtful OBJ
server That spirit is the love of
equity. Ii is the distinct application
of moral doctrines to practical pol
tiles. Mr. Gladstone's great speech
can be summed up as a declaration
that righteousness must rule Il nation
or nothing but evil will come. 1t is
in its degree and place of the same
character as Mr.. Iincoln's second in.
augural address. Mr.. Gladstone. rs al
orator and rhetorician. has often sur.
passed in subtitle dialectics, in verba
telicities, in ornate power and embel
lishment, the speech of Thursday last
but in the loftier elements of states
manship in the nobler attributes OF
manhood, the clearest expression OF
sagaeity, and that wisdom that belong.
only to the best motives and insight
he has never before equalled this grea
effort"

From letter from Meridian, Miss,
OF the 18th, inst, TO lady in this city
we learn that young Kyle, who shot
John Robert Richardson some time
since at Cooper's Institute, Meridian,
Mics, and who fled thereafter, has
been captured and Is now confined In
the Van Buren,, Ark, jail. The letter
further states that the Sheriff Of Craw-
ford county, Ark, wrote that he would
want him there from 8 TO % years ssfor
burglary aud robbery and horse steel
Ing" and that there was positive proof
against him. After he is done with
the Arkansas authorities he Is subject
10 the laws of Mississippi, where he
will be taken. The future of this young
man is indeed gloomy; it teaches
lesson to the rising generation that
should be needed by them and it also
points moral to parents who are
too indulgent and lenient with thei'
young boys.

thorlxing cxamination, approval and

claims in the States of Arkansas, Flor

France, by which the United States
acquired the Province OF Louisiana,

Notwithstanding the fact that Cons
