Sardinia is the largest island In the Mediterranean

country is rich and fruitful The prevalence Of severe
epidemic fevc, especially dangerous TO foreigners has
done much to keep Sardinia almost unknown and un-

speech of the people, The island has two provinces
named from the two chief towns, Sassar and Cagan.

cheap Postage to England.

LONDON, Jan. s. John Henniker
Heaton, M. p, has accepted an invita-
ton to visit the United States early this
year. He expects while there to have
the honor of appearing before congress
in advocacy of ocean penny postage, and
much of the time of his visit will be de-
voted to the f%urthering of cheap postage.
His idea is that asletters are now carried
long distances by rail at the penny rate
with a profit to the postoffice depart
ments of England and the United States,
penny postage between England and
America would I've perfectly feasible,
Indeed, n~on-contract steamers actually
carry letters for the English p~ostoffice
from Southampton to New York for
about half-penny each; that is, forty let
tiers to the pound and the rate paid to
these non-contract steamers is / shilling
s pence per pound. AS to profits Mr.
Heaton calculates that the English post

Going to the Black Hills.

Fort Robinson, Neb Jan. 4.-There
is q great deG. of speculation as to where
the B. & M. railroad is gong from Oraw
ford. Every one knows now that il is
going to the Black Hills, but where will
it 60 from there? vi course 1T will not
stop in the Hills, but go on west some
whers-pussibly all the way to the Pa
ciic coast. The route it will take be-
m a matter of great interest and inn.
p%ortance to the people and towns of the
west. Those who own townsites and
are Building up towns beyond the Black
Hills are keenly alive to the value of
8 securing railroad communications. With
out knowing anything about the b. & M.
secrets. but Judging by the lay Of the
country, il will run from the Black Hills
to Sundance, thfLcs'to Buffalo, Wyo.,
and thence to the Yellowstone lake and
the national park. This will make a
short route from the east to the nation
~ park. 10 will hurt st. Paul some, and
benefit Omaha. The road that gets
from the south first to Montana will se-
cure q large portion of the eastern travel
that is now passing north. The route
through Wyoming and Nebraska east
will be much the shortest, and a travel
er from the Pacific coast by this south
eastern r%oute'can probably be set down
In Chicago as o or nearly az soon as
he could be landed in 1T Paul by the
northern route.

Tho situation in ireland.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-Mr.T. p. O'Connor's
Star expresses the opinion that the pres.
emit situation in Ireland is more serious
than at any time since the passage of the
land act of 1881. sit is quite evident
from the recent report made by the
Irish land commissioner" the Star says,
THAT Irish matters have taken an en-
tirely new phase. The old land commits
sion has disappeared and instead they
have a body in which the Tory land
agent reigns supreme. Thus the tenants
are hopelessly deceived, and will proba-
bly, now strike against paying the judi
cial rents
The violence of the resistance made
against the evictions in county Donegal,
involving fighting more desperate than
any heretofore witnessed in Ireland, has
created a great sensation here and raised
the question in the minds of many per-
sons hitherto in favor of wholesale eyic-
tons, whether the governments course
will not really be productive of more
harm than good. OF curse the govern
ment adherents are quite as Indifferent
to the su~fferings, or even the slaughter
of the bailitfs, as. they are to whatever
disaster may befail the tenants, but the
feeling of adherence which has already
sprung up in the breasts of the more
compassionate of English voters bids fair
to work injury to Conservative prospects
at future elections.

Notes and Gossip,

LONDON, Jan. 5.-Iord Salisbury was
waited upon by a deputation headed by
Lord Armstrong. who called to urge the
adoption by the government of a com.
prehensive scheme for the defense of
England's mercantile ports. The premier
in reply said he heartily sympathized
with the anxiety of the deputation,
whose request he thought justified by
the circumstances of the day. The enor-
NOUS offensive powers of foreign coun-
tries might be concentrated against En-
gland, although sIch an event was quite
unlikely, yet the doputation must not be
blind to the fact that ministers are not
absolutely permanent. While not TAX.
ing a gloomy view of the future, he said,
we must not fail to take the necessary
precautions for defense. The response.
bility for defense rested with the gov.
eminent, but it was the duty of the ma
ton to bear a share of the cost. He
would not now discuss the question how
far the government could safely limit
the expenditures for defences, but he
promised to represent the views of the
.deputation to his colleagues.
This speech foreshadows the presenta-
ton of an extensive military and naval
programme to parliament at the next
session.

FOREIGN NOTES.

1t is announced that Prince Bismarck
will return to Berlin on Thursday next.
The returning officer of the London
county council has instructed his depu.
ties to accept ladies as candidates.
NM. Christico and Mijatovich have
resigned from the Servian ministry. A
new cabinet will shortly be formed.
The betrothal of Prince William of
Baden to Princess Marie, niece of the
Grand Duke of Baden, is announced.
The German emigration for the year
1888 was 90, 900, against $1,000 in 1887.
The bulk of the emigration was to
America.
Dispatches from Berlin and Vienna
state that a profound sensation has been
created in those cities by the publication
of the Morier-R bismarck correspondence.
News of the terrible murder of a little
girl in a field close to the village road In
Somersetshire, with much the same gen
eral details as the case of the boy muir
dered at Bradford last week, has been
received.
1t is stated that one of the reasons why
Mr.. Gladstone will not go to Rome is the
fact that the Italian government and
Italian Liberals intended to organize
ovations in his honor, which he wished
to avoid.
Thirteen persons were arrested at Fal-
carragh for interfering with and resist
ing the police and bailiffs in the dis
charge of their duty. 1t was entirely
due to the efforts of the priests present
that ~bloodshed was averted.
The London Liberals intend making
elaborate preparations for celebrating
the fall of the Bastile, on the centennial
anniversary of the destruction of that
fortress prison on July IA next, and will
probably ask Mr.. John Morley to pre-
side on that occasion.
