Reports of the Harvest in Northern New

England.
BosroN, Sept. 1l.-Reports received from
the various districts of the three northern
New England States show that with the
farmers the year just ending with the
harvest is, on the whole, an average one, or
perhaps somewhat better than that There
has been no little damage to the growing
crops by drought and frosts, and the two
important items of corn and potatoes make
poor showing. comparatively. Vermont
seems to have an unusually good harvest of
hay and cereals. Complaints come from
New Hampshire of the suddenness of
atmospheric changes, which have had
harmful effect, but on the whole it is be-
lieved that the agricultural year Of 1886 in
the state will prove to be fair one. 1t is
Maine which has perhaps the most un-
favorable story to tell, but here the grain
crop was about an average one and the
apple yield is abundant.

Among the books suggested by Mr..
Gladstone as throwing most light upon the
Irish question are Mr.. Lecky's two works,
one the "Leaders of Public Opinion In Ire
land,n the other being "lIistory Of England
in the Eighteenth Century" The former
contains able and exhaustive sketches of
Flood, Grattan, O'Connell, and, we think,
Dean Swift, with full account OF the
penal laws and scathing criticism upon
penal legislation. The "Ilistory OF Eng
land" is published in four volumes, and
might, with equal propriety, be called a
"Ilistory Of Ireland"
In this truly great work Mr.. Lecky points
out that from the time Of Queen Elizabeth
down to the present day the possession Of
Irish land has been the cdsus JeHi between
the two countries. The author shows that
Elizabeth made pretense of religious diff
ferences as being the cause of her stern
regime in the smaller island. She is repre-
sented as having frequently said that II the
"native Irishn would embrace the reformed
religion they should be treated exactly as
her English subjects. Mr.. LecKy shows
clearly that, however devoted Irish Celts
may have been to Catholicism, they We're
still more devoted to the land by which
alone they were enabled TO live. But they
had learned by long experience that whether
they became Protestants orremaIned Catho-
lies their broad acres became the property
Of Elizabeth's friends and soldiers.
Mr., Lecky also shows that the only 10
telligent class in Ireland, tnen torn to pieces
with tribal and faction differences, which
took the smallest interest In the poorer
classes were the priests Of the Roman Cath
oIic Church, who, sprung from the people,
nobly stood by their order and formed the
only defense and safeguard for thousands
and thousands OF men and women who were
hunted like wild beasts.
Mr. Lecky is an excellent authority. He
Is an Ulster Irishman, and member OF an
ultra Protestant family, AS an under
graduate Of Trinity college, DubIin-a
university which claims him as one Of her
brightest umaments-he commenced his
profound study Of Irish history, Allowing
his mind to mature upon other questions,
hewrote his famous histories of European
Morals and Of "Rationalism in Europe"
before dealing with the complicated diff
llcultiGs of his own country. He Is, how
ever, the intimate friend aud companion of
Mr., Froude, which may account for the
difference Of tone IN bis letters 10 the
London Times about Mr., Gladstone's home
