John Dillon's plan Of campaign con-
templates paying into the hands of parties
selected by the tenants such rents as the
tenants themselves feel able to pay;
the parties to pay these moneys over to
the landlords. As the landlords do not
recognize the right of tenants to determine
what shall be paid for rents, they object to
these proceedings, and in several instances
caused the arrest of the custodians OF ten
ants rents, and evicted the tenants them
selves. Hence, the situation in that unfor-
tunate country is not promising. and Mr..
Parnell is not pleased. 1t appears that Mr..
Gladstone and his party, while opposing
evictions of tenants. cannot give the "plan
of campaign" their support, and they are
looking for some other mode OF settlingt the
unpleasant and very embarrassing condition
of affairs which the enforcement of Mr.. Dill
Ions plan has provoked.

The new move made by the X. Of L. in
Chicago indicates that an open split if not
an open fight will Don occur between fac
tions in the order. Some of the assemblies
chafe under Powderly's management and
are disposed to take the bit in their mouth
and disregard his authority. They don't
like his action in ordering them back to
work at ten hours a day when they had
struck for eight hours and are now hunting
for a new leader. Barry, of the executive
board, appears to suit them and it is said
that gentleman is in~augurating a crusade
against Powderly. Should he do so and
be supported by a respectable following
the organization will be demoralized and
it's usefulness as an order be destroyed.
United, the K. Of L. may work a wonderful
reform in the condition ofthe laboring man.
Divided. it will fall.

The San Francisco Chronicle has the fol-
lowing which is commended to the atten-
ton OF the advocates OF Chinese immigra-
ton in Montana: 1.-The way foreigners dre
treated even in the large Chinese cities is
shown by the disagreeable experience OF
two European officials at Shanghai. They
went out to see the native quarter. under
the guidance OF a Chinese, but were set
UPON, beaten and threatened with weapons.
Fortunately they escaped without serious
injuries Tito a neigbboring yamen. Such
incidents as this should be remembered
when we hear the unfailing courtesy OF
the Chinese cited by the %apologists for the
c~OOlie."

improvements in Vaccination.

AS protection by ordinary vaccination is
not secured until after the lapse Of thirteen
or fourteen ~days-that is, a period at least
equal to that required for smallpox to de-
velop-it has been considered of no use after
symptoms of the disease have been already
infected. But by a modified method, a Rus
sian medical student, NJ. Gubert, claims to
make such late vaccination effective. In ex-
periments on dogs he has rapidly saturated
the system with protective virus by several
successive daily NEGOTIATIONS with calf lymph,
by which means he has succeeded in bringing
the vaccination process to completion within
four or five days. This result has enabled
him to arrest the development of smallpox
in twenty-seven persons i'll whom he was quite
sure the disease was incubating, while in
twelve others the disease was modified to sim
pie varioloid.-Arkansaw Traveller.

Mr.. Parnell is not pleased with the situa-
ton in Ireland, and does not think the
''Plan OF campaign" is a hilarious success.
The deter rination OF Gladstone and the
other men. bers of the late Liberal cabinet
to support tie government in all lawful
efforts to suipr'ss the anti-rent campaign
will throw q cold Blanket on DillOn's plan,
and will pre- billy lead to it's abandon
ment. The Liberals. however, favor the
passage by Parliament OF some bill to sus-
pend evictions for snon-payment OF rents.
If this be done there will be no further use
for the "Plan Of Campaign" as all that
the tenants demand is the peaceable pos
session of their holdings. ~

Martha Washington as a Beauty.
Martha Washington was a very pretty girl,
but not a very good-looking old woman. As
she matured she grew stout; and, though her
picture represents her as a beauty, the current
history of the times says she was a plainly
dressed, robust old woman who looked older
than her husband. She was not noted for her
social nor intellectual qualities. She could not
spell, and probably did not read a book from
one end of the year to the other. She was a
sort of a goody-goody woman, who almost al
Ways had knitting-needles in her hands and
who thought she did a great thing when she
saved the Rawlings of a lot of old black silk
stockings and worn cut chair covers and wove
them into a dress for herself. She was very
proud of her husband; and they show the lit
tie room in the second story Of the home at
Mount Vernon in which she secluded herself
after his death, seeing no one for months, and
allowing only cat to enter the room through
q hole which was cut under the ~door.-Frank

there is an "old boss" room, where undelivered
and unclaimed packages are kept.-Chicago
