EngIand's Parishes and Clergy.

England is divided into Il. 900 parishes,
in every one Of which there is a resident
clergyman who receives One-tenth Of the
income of the land. The ancient 1.-THE in
kind is commuted, but the clergy still oh
tain their tenth in residence, glebe and
commuted tithe This is in addition TO the
revenues of the bishops and to the expendi-
ture for the care OF the church editices.
The 1900 Clergymen constitute One-fOurth
of the resident landowners of the kingdom.
Their incomes average more than
8, 800 a year They are landowners as alb
sOlutely as the peers; for they are also ten
ants for life, and can not be diSpOssessed
short Of a revOlutiOn-unless in case of
crime or gross immortality. They can not,
it is true, dispose of their estates by will;
but neither can one in ten Of the larger
landhOlders. From the archbishop Of
Canterbury, with his s75, 600 year, down
TO the humblest incumbent Of q parish,
they are emphatically part Of the landed
interest. Naturally the church is con-
servative.
The power of appointing the clergy is IL
self piece of property. 1t is commonly
attached to the land The incumbent Of
living is usually appointed by the squire
or some neighbOring nobleman, in whose
family the privilege descends like any
other Inheritance. The greatest miscreant
in life or infidel in belief may appoint the
clergyman, il he owns the land If child
IiheritS, the guardian sOmetimez exercises
the right; and, worse yet, the right may
he sold. The succession to a wealthy piece
OF perferment is often disposed of years in
advance You may read in The Times, in
this year of our Lord. advertisements of
advowsOns, as the right of patronage Is
called; the cure of souls for sale. Often
the notice mentions that the incumbent is
old, and the property is so much the more
valuable, for the succession will be
speedier Then the advowson fetches a
higher priCe.-Adam Badeau's Letter.

Land Commissioner Sparks on Timber
Stealing.

M .
Washington Special: The laws regarding
the cutting OF timber on the public landsin
the territories are the same that they al
ways have been, allowing any person tocut
upon mineral lands such timber as he
might want for his own use. The regnla-
tions OF this Office used to be in strictscon-
firmation with the provisions OF the law,
but past administrations have allowed
them tc become more and more lax until
they have been almost swept away. My
efforts have been TO bring these regulations
back to their condition urder Commissions
er Williamson, who took a technically
strict view OF the laws. / do not believe
that these laws contemplate the invest
rnent of money in SIM mill property in these
territories and the general saving for the
open market as has been done. The tim
ber under the law il practically free To the
settles. all the expense that he ought to be
.lntier being the expenses OF having it saw
sd; but the firms that are saving cut there
now are selling the lumber to settlers at
The current market price. although they
secure the timber free of charge. The
secretary Of the interior does not take this
view oil it, however. He has an idea that
we have been too strict with the lumber
men. nHd is now considering q set Of regu-
atfons that will take more liberal views Of
the law than this Office does. The end OF
will be, however that the public lands
will soon be dennded OF timber and hence
orth valucless.
