The Liverpool Mercury relates an incident
which shows how some English landlords
treat their tenants A prosperous farmer,
who was DESTROYS Of purchasing his holding,
which has been occupied by his family for
three generations, waited upon his landlord
and made known his desire, stating that he
had saved ESQ Out broke the landlords
you have saved ESQ on my land You
want me to sell it to you tell you what
III do. I'll raise your rent 3lO0a year" And
he did it. The rent was an impossible one.
The tenant had to turn out from the house in
which he was born, and the farm was offered
for new occupation 1t had to lie let at $50
less rent than was actually being paid by the
hereditary tenant, but all attempts to conclude
a reasonable arrangement on the part OF the
saving farmer were useless. The landlord
thought he had lightly punished HIM for his
impotence. Cases like this are arousins an
angry feeling among English tenant farmerA

Bismarck Probable Successor.
London Life .


There is report current in court cir
cles to the effect that Prince Bismarck
will soon retire into private life. The
same rumOr gives him for temporary sue
cessor Count Waldersee, the present
chief of the general staff, and successor
to Count NIoltke Count Waldersee
would, however, only intermediateIy
hold the imperial office, and would,
within the space of from ten
to twelve months, be replaced by Count
Herbert Bismarck, ;. the present chancel-
lor's promising scion The question sug-
geSts itself why Count Bismarck should
not Immediately follow his father. In
deed this would seem to be the natural
course of events; but the count has
many adversaries, whose actions and
words are inspired by envy. There
are others who do not approve
of the political and social atmosphere
that he chooses for himself. There is
many a ducal or princely family i'll Prus-
STA who are dispIeased to see the power
and the influence of the prineely family
of Bismarck perpetuated. For them the
young count has made too rapid career;
besides, Count Herbert Bismarck has
professed himself of moderately liberal
views with respect to political and relig-
ious questions.

Our advice to young men is to study
politics all the time. Begin now to keep
the run of current events, not only at
home, but abroad Watch the struggle
in France, which now presents a scene
of stirring interest, as the threatened
revolution approaches, with Bou-
LANCER rising above the angry
suTges Of the troubled waters.
Mark the progress of the home rule
idea of the British parliament, and es-
pecially the part that the ''Grand Old
Man is taking i'll it. Note the attempts
that are made to establish civilization
and Christianity in Africa. II order TO
do this you must do more than read the
newspapers carefully. You must delve
into history. You should also read
carefully the best works you
can find about the science of
government. The political parties in our
own day present study well worth
watching carefully Above all, make it
point to analyZe motives, separate the
good from the bad, carefully make up
your mind as to what is right, but do not
blind yourself to the faults in your own
party; make it a rule of your life never to
do in politics anything that You would ac-
count wrong i'll business or social life

party, but win be a good to the nation.

CANTON. TEA., Feb. News has
just reached here that man named
Rngland shot and Killed a young man

town eighteen miles south of Canton last
Monday night Both men were new
corners. II Is reported that peace
officer held an examining trial Tuesday
and turned Ragland loose on the
ground that he had killed
MINUS i'm selt-defeuse The report SAYS
that MINUS was trying TO Kill Bugland
with an axe, when Ragland shot with
gun Both men were IN Canton Monday
and were partaking freely of the tan
glefoot - and rs n consequence by the
time they had arrived at home both OF
them were nearly drunk, if
not quite. While they were
here they procured marriage
license for youag MINUS and the daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Raglaud. Two reports are
current, one that Ragland killed young
MINUS because he was going 10 marry
his daughter, the other that Ragland was
trying 10 get MINUS 10 marry his daugh-
ter. The report is that young MINUS was

Ragland is about fifty years old The
murdered man was aged about twenty
five or thirty years. They are new

day that he was anxious to arrest Rag
land and wanted To go the scene of the

A Fable for Young Wives.

q t1rofeSSoF Black1e IN Casseli'S Magazine.
Men are naturally less amiable and
more intractable than women. The first
point, therefore, TO secure a married
woman IS happiness after the holidays of
she should study carefully the
peculiarities of her husband ) temper.
1t Is in the power of 4
wise and good woman to make q
lamb of the greatest bear that ever wore
whiskers; while by foolish treatment the
process may be reversed and generous
bearded creature, with all the capabIli-
ties of a lion, may end i'll being bear or
9 wolf. 4 wife must tread on her hus-
band 5 temper first as cautiously
as prudent boy does upon recently
formed ice. Only when she las learned
where the slippery humor of her husband
will bear, and where it Will break, can
she perform with safety those graceful
evolutiOns by which a devoted wife
achieves greater triumphs than ever
BOnapaTte did by his artillery. WiseNold
Plutarch, descantins on the topic,
very appropriately brings in
the old fable of the traveller,
whom Boreas, with his obstreperous
blasts, tried to disrobe of his good great
coat; but the result was quite otherwise;
the more violently Boreas pulled his
cheeks the more closely the man wrapped
his coat about him. But what Boreas
could not achieve with all his strength
the sun did with few slight touches of his
genial beams. The man was so overcome
by the softening influence that he flung
both cloak and tunic away. So let no
woman foolishly attempt to gain from her
husband in Il rough way what she can
surely achieve by gentleness.
