Tnc ouserness of TIIinrs.

This is a sort of topsy -tnrvy world. No
one seems TO he satisfied. One man is
struggling to get justice, and another is
flying from 1t. One man is saving up to
buy house, aud another is trying to sell
his dwelling, for less than it cost, to get
rid of 1t. One man Is spending all the
money he can easn in taking girl to the
theater and sending her flowers, in the
hope that he may eventually make her his
wife, and his neighbor is spending all the
gold he has saved to get a separation One
man is ordered to eat eggs because they are
nutritious, and another is cautioned TO
leave them alone because they produce
bile. One man keeps a pistol to protect
himself against burglars, while his neigh
Dor doesn't keep one for fear of shooting
some member of the family by mistake.
One rich man wears poor clothes because
he is rich and can do anything, while
poor mau wears iiue clothes because he is
4 poor man and wants to produce the inn
preston that he is not. One man escapes
all the diseases that flesh is heir to, and is
killed ON a railway another man goes
through half dozen wars without &
scratch, and dies Of whOoping cough. One
man drinks coffee to cure the headache;
another refrairs from drinking it for fear
that it will cause his head to ache One
innocent man is hung, and the guilty one
confesses TO the crime years afterward on
his dying bed. One man leaves q town
because business is overdone and he can't
make anything; another comes, starts 4
business and gets rich.

What Harrison Thinks.
DEER PARK, August 1Sth.-Attorney-
General Miller arrived here this morning
TO consult with the President concerning
the Terry affair. They canvasSed the case
very fully, and determined to take no off,
cial action before the receipt of the United
States Marshars report.
The Department of Justice has already
requested the officials of the State to use
every precaution to prevent violence to
prisoner Nagle.
Miller and the President are both of the
opinion that Judge Sawyer's action in issu-
ing writ OF habeas corpus was fully war
ranted.
The arrest of Field does not disturb the
President or Miller. Should he be brought
TO trial, Miller is confident that the Court
would take the view expressed by General
Butler, that there could be no conspiracy
on the part of Field and Nagle.n

The Brave General Said to be a Very
Prudent Man.
New YORK, August lSlh.-The Sans
cable from Loudon says that General Bou-
LANCER, who is the guest Of Lord Delaware,
at Buckhurst Park, in Sussex, does not fear
being taken back to France, since the ouiv
eXtradluonable crime of which he has been
convicted is Misrepresentation of funds. and
under the English law if he is extradited
for that otfense he cannot be punished for
political one.
The general verdict of Europe is that he
is politically dead. He cannot return 10

But the brave General is also a prudent
General, and there is little danger that he

detectives have been sent to Dover, Folke-

report his departure in case he should at

JANEsvILLE (Wis.), August 1Sth.-The
Salvation Army was out on street parade
lest evening with the drum corps, and
created considerable disturbance. causing
many teams to run away. The City
Marshal arrested the whole army and they
went to jail, followed by an immense crowd
of people, the female members singing re-
ligious songs. They will remain in Jail
over Sunday.
For several days the army has been hold
ing public meetings and street parades in
the evening with drums aud tambourines,
which, with their shouting and singing,
created much excitement on the streets.
An ordinance forbids these parades un-
less by consent of the Chief of Policei
which on this occasion was denied. About
a dozen persons, mostly women, were put
in jail
The sentiment of the people here is de-
cidedly against them, as many of the
members do not bear the best regulations.
and their nightly meetings, even at the
barracks, have been the cause Of frequent
disturbances, the congregations being COM
posed mostly of boys and toughs, who de.

were smashed and two ladies slightly in

NEW LAND BILL.
A Local Government Bill Proposed for
Ireland,

ireland.
New YORK. August 1Sth.-A cable spe-
cial to the Post from London of August
18th, says: The political events OF the week
have been Mr.. Chamberlain's speech an
nouncing that the Government had agreed
to introduce a land-purchase bill and
local-government bill for Ireland at the
next session, and the Minister'S defeat of
the tithes bill.
l am able to tell you the truth about
Chamberlsin's statement on high Minis
terial authority. He as usual, is trying
the pace of the Government by represent
ing his wishes as an accepted policy, bur no
land-purchase scheme, much less local
government bill, has been agreed upon.
There is strong drift, however, toward
large land bill at the next session, and
the necessity of interposing some sort of
local government guaranty between the
creditor and ultimate imperial guaranty,
that is. making the locality responsible for
any arrears in installments, will necessitate
the establishment of some bodies repre-
senting the localities but not necessarily
county councils, on the English or Scotch
pattern.
