NOTES AND COMMENTS

Mr.. Gladstone has fixed Monday
as the date for. the division on the
home rule bill. From latest accounts
it seems probable that it will be de-
feated; if so, Parliament will be dis
solved. 1t is thought however, that
the dissolution will be postponed
until after the session has to a GER
tain extent run its course, so as to
afford time for the necessary parlia-
mentary and ministerial business
and particularly for the reglstra-
ton bill. This bill would come into
operation in October, the elections
would follow shortly afterward, and
the new Parliament would meet fol
an autumnal session in November.

Some soils, such as spongy peats
and light dusty sands, may be i'm
proved by mechanical consolidation
it is but limited source of i'm
provement, but still it deserves tc
be noticed. The addition Of earthly
matter to loose soils is best to give
the proper degree of adhesiveness,
but mere rolling and treading are
not to be altogether rejected. The
advantage of rolling light soils after
sowing is we'll known to every cult
vator. On certain soils gardeners
tread in the seed, and all grass
lawns should be rolled to improve
the quality of the turf.
Some soils may be altered by the
addition or subtraction of ingre-
dients in which they are deficient,
or superabound; and by the chemi
cal change of some of their consti-

tuent part or parts by the action OF
fire. In addition to other earths
to make an alteration in the soil
care must be taken, and it mast be
regulated by the nature of the crop
to be grown there, as the same soil
will not suit all plants.
Considerable chemical change can
be effected by burning the surface
of some soils. Clayey soils are those
most improved by it. The advanta-
ges of burning are; that it renders
the soil less compact, less tenacious
and less retentive of moisture; and,
when properly applied, may convert
a matter which was stiff, damp and,
in consequence, cold, into one pow
derry, dry and warm, and permeable
by air and water.
All sells, which contain too much
dead vegetable fibre, are improved
by burning. as they consequently
lose from one third to one half their
weight by incarceration; and all such
as contain their earthly constituents
in an unpalpable state Of division.
Burning also improves all soils con-
tanning clay, by increasing their
power of absorbing and condensing
from the air ammonia, carbonic acid
and other gases necessary to the
gtowth of plants.

Philadelphia Times: The extent to
which alien land holders have secur-
ed American lands is partially
made known in a report prepared
by the House committee on public
lands. This report does not profess
to be complete by any means, but
it is sufficiently comprehensive to
show that twenty-nine foreign indi-
viduals and corporations hold 20,
TAI, 900 acres of land. a tract more
than two-thirds the size of the
State of Pennsylvania. The largest
of these tracts is owned by the Hol-
land Land Company in New Mexico,
and contains 100000 acres, while
the smallest contains 5000 acres,
and is owned by Sir J. L. Kay, of
Yorkshire, England.
To put an end to this wholesale
absorption of public lands by foreign
capitalists the committee have in
structed Congressman Payson, of
Illinois, to report bill prohibiting
any resident or nonresident alien
or foreigner who has not declared
his or her intention to become a CT
tizen of the United States, or any
corporation or association, one-tenth
of the stock or right of property of
which is owned or controlled by
foreigners, from acquiring, owni ng
or holding any real estate in any of
the Territories of the United States.
The bill makes an exception of the
land necessary for the construction
and operation of any railway.
In view of the millions of acres
already absorbed by aliens, this bill
even if passed, will prove remedy
somewhat in the nature of locking
the stable after the horse has been
stolen. 1t should be passed, however
even at this late day, as should bills
repeating the smption, timber
and desert land laws. The Interior
Department should also leave no
stone unturned to restore the land
to public settlement that has been
unlawfully fenced in by cattle COM
panies or is held by fraudulent en-
tries under present laws.

The Educational Bill.
Houston Post.

The Blair educational bill, whicl
has been under discussion in the sen.
ate for some days, is not wholly like
the Blair bill that passed the senate
last year. The new bill provides
that for eight fiscal years next after
it's passage there shall be annually
appropriated from the money in the
treasury the following sums, viz.
The first year, the sum of $7,O00,000;
the second year, S10,000,000; the
third year, S15,000,000; the fourth
year, $13, 100000; the fifth year, $11,-
100000; the sixth year, $9,O00,000;
the seventh year, $7,000,000, and the
eighth year $5,000,000, to secure the
benefits of common school education
to all the children of the school age
living in the United States; that
these funds are to be distributed
among the several states and terrific
lies on tho basis Of illiteracy. The
design of the measure is not to estab-
lish an independent or national sys-
tenn of schools, but rather to aid, for
the time being, in the development
and maintenance of the schools es-
tablished by local government, and
which must eventually be wholly
maintained by the states and terrific
ries wherein they exist. It is further
provided that no greater part of the
money appropriated shall be paid out
to any state in any one year than the
sum expended out ofits own resources,
or out of moneys raised under its au-
thority in the preceding year for the
maintenance of common schools so
that, while the appOrtionment of
money appropriated is to be made
among the states on the basis of illit
eracy, the actual yearly distribution
to each, after the first year, is not to
exceed the amount each state shall
annually expend out of its own re-
sources, or ont Of moneys raised un-
der its authority, for the support and
maintenance Ci the common schools,

GO FEEL WHAT I HAVE FELT.

The circumstances which induced tn,
writing of tho following most touching ant
thrilling lines, are rs follows:
A young lady of New York was in the hab
it of writing for the Philadelphia Ledger OF
the subject of Temperance. The writing
was 30 full of pathos, and eyinced such deeI
emotion of soul, that q friend of hers &c
cused her of being monomaniac on the
subject of Temperance, whereupon she
wrote the following lines
Go feel what have felt
Go bear what have borne
Sink meath the blow father dealt.
And the cold worlds proud scorn;
Thus suffer on, from yoar to year
Thy sole relief, the scorching tear.
Go kueel as have knelt-
Implorc, beseech and pray
Strive tho besotted heart to melt
The downward course to stay;
Be dashed with bitter curse, aside
Thy prayers burlesqued-thy tears defied !!
Go weep as have wept,
O'er loved fathers fall;
See every cherished promise swept
Youths sweetness turned to gall;
Life's fading flowers strewed oil the way
That brought me up to woman's day !
Go see what have seen-
Behold the strong man bow,
With gnashing teeth-lips bathed in blood
And cold and livid brow
Go catch his wandering glance, and SEQ
There mirrored his souls misery!
Go to thy mothers side,
And her crushed spirit cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide
Wipe from her cheek the scalding tear;
Mark er worn frame and withered brow,
The gray that stroaks har dark hair now,
With fading frame and trembling limb,
And >race tne ruin back 70 him
Whose pligntel faith, in earjy youth,
Promised eternal love and truth
But who forsworu, hath yielded up
That promise to the deadly cup
And led her down, through love and light,
And all that made her promise bright,
And chained her there, mid want and strife,
That lowly thing-a drunkard's wife
And stamped on childhood's brow so mild
That withe1ing blight-a drunkard's child
Go hear, and feel, and see and know,
All that my soul hath felt and known;
Then look uron the wine-cup's glow
See if its beauty can atone;
Think, if its flavor you will try,
When all proclaim tits drink and die y.
Tell me / hate tho bowl
Hate" is n foeble word;
I loathe-ABHoR-my very soul
With strong disgust is stirred,
Wheneer see, or hear, or tell
OF this DARK BEVERAGE OF HE'LL!
