by far the most important of the
years political events IN England Is
Mr. Balfour's Irish Land Purchase bin,
says the London correspondent Of the
New York Tribune. II has been re-.
ceivcd with n chorus Of discordant crih
cisms by the Gladstonians and the Par.
nellites. One journal calls II abomina
Bile, another idiotic, third ugly. %
fourth criminal. There Is some danger
that the stock of available adiectlNos
will speedily be used up. Unluckily
these criticisms proceed on different
lines. Mr.. Davitt, who IS for Land
Nationalization--tha is, conGscatiOn-
denounces it as another bill for the re-.
lief of Irish landlords.
Mr.. Parnell insists that Il will benefit
the Irish tenant at the expense of the
English taxpayer. One group Of oppo.
nents describes the bill as Socialistic,
another as an attempt to wiring more
millions from the poor starving peas
antry; one as a bribe to agrarian dis
content, another as q concession 10 the
English garrison. Mr.. Gladstone him
self, more wary than his English fol
lowers, admitted that the measure was
comprehensive and showed careful
study of difficult subject.
Mr.. Parnell left the House while Mr..
Balfour's speech was only half finished,
in order to contide to the Irish wires his
opinion that the bill is full of danger.
So it is, of danger TO home rule most of
| all. No such attempt to settle the land
| question has been made before. If ac.
cepted, it will put an end to TINT dual
ownership of the soil which is a fruitful
cause of trouble. 1t will transfer the
land from landlord to tenant on terms
which make it easier for the tenant &c
own than to hire. His rent is reduced
at a stroke 90 per cent. for the first five
! years, then 10 per cent. more for forty
five years, at the expiration of which
the title passes to him or to his heirs.
In other words, a tenant now pay
ing $1t0 year pays $50 for five year.
and $40 for forty five years and ther
becomes owner in fee simple. Th'

THE LEGEND GLoRIFIBD

If deem that God is not disquieted.n
This In mighty poets rhyme | read;
And blazOned so forever doth abide,
Within my soul, the legend gloriied.
Though awful tempests thunder overhead,
deem that God is not disquieted-
The faith that trembles somewhat yet is
sure,
Through storm and darkness, Of a way
secure.
Bleak winters, when the naked spirit hears
The break of hearts, through singing sleet
of tears,
! deem that God is not disquieted;
Against all stresses am ! clothed and fed.
Nay, even with fixed eyes and broken
breath,
My feet dip down into the tides Of death,
Nor any friend be left nor prayer be said,
| deem that God Is not disquieted.

SHERIFF. SICRLES,


General Daniel E. Sickles, by accept
ing Governor Hills appointment to the
shrievalty of New York, comes once
more. as he nears the end of his event
full career, into unexpected public
prominence. 1t is inevitable that this
circumstance should draw general at
tention to, and awaken remembrance
of, the main facts of his marvellous
history.
He was at an early period New
York politician of the volunteer fire
man kind, and was in those days au
intimate friend of Broderick, whom the
notorious Terry killed in California.
He naturally gravltatcd to Albany as
Senator, and afterwards, in 1850, while
serving a term in Congress, killed
Philip Barton Key, through we'll
founded jealousy, and was speedily
tried and acquitted.
His subsequent condonement of his
wife's fault displeased his friends and
retired him into private life. When
the war broke out, however, his op-
portunity to reinstate himself in public
opinion came, and he was assigned to
a command in the Army of the
Potomac, where he distinguished him
self for skill and valor. AT Gettysburg
he lost leg and was, of course,
retired from active service.
Shortly afterward he entered the
Diplomatic service, where he equally
distinguished himself. Grant made
him Minister TO Spain, and, while upon
that mission, he was very conspicuous
in the disputes about the Nirginius
affair at Cuba.
He was lawyer by profession, and
in its practice was as successful as in
other fields. His greatest success in
that line was gained when, at the in
stance of the bondholders, with adroit
aggressiVeness, he drove Fiske and
Gould from the management of the
Erie Railroad. Latterly, he has been
living quietly in New York in the
enjoyment of an immense inherited for
! tune.
The career of General Sickles has
been wonderful in many respects, and
it is naturally recalled TO mind by his
recent official appointment That ca
reer gives assurance that now New
York has a Sheriff that will do his
duty without fear or favor

Rumford Grange is on prosperous foot
ing and means to 20 ahead. They are pre-
pairing the hall over the butter factory for
their next meeting, which takes place
March 18th.
Hon. f. z. Parkhurst of Maysville Gen.
tire Grange is receiving some orders for seed
potatoes from oranges in other sections of
the country. He has orders for two cars
TO go to Washington, and two to go to New
Jersey, and other points that way, He has
no doubt of being able to hold and to in
crease this trade, because he is very careful
to ship good stock, true to name.
At the last meeting of Crooked River
Grange, Harrison, the chief feature in the
programme was Talk of Geology" by
Bro Jas VI. Shaw, of Bear Mountain Grange,
Waterford. The Talk" was very il ter
esting, aud the speaker showed large col
lection of specimens. This grange has its
work all mapped ont for the present year,
the parts all assigned, and the whole APP
pears on a neatly printed programme.
The attendance at the meeting of the
Pomona Grange in Esstou, on Thursday
last, was the largest of the winter. The
forenoon session was devoted to routine
business. In the afternoon there were
declsmations and select readings, after
which the question of the use of fertilizers
was taken up, and discussed. A commit
tee previously appointed for the purpose Of
urging farmers to make experiments in fer
tilizers in order to furnish basis for com
parson and ascertsinng their comparative
value, reported progress. The subject Of

a committee appointed to make arrange

and most of the children belonging to that
fraternity were present to enjoy and take
part in the exercises, which embraced dec
lamations. readings, music, and then treat
provided by the elders. of ice cream, cake.
fruit &c. Grange Hall seemed to laugh
with Joy as the mirthful faces betokened
the good time all were having; and looking
at the great crowd it is easy to believe that
the sides of the hall were distended, but
whether in sympathy with the gastronomic
efforts put forth by old and young, or to
make room for the historic lone more,
never will be known. Over 225 were pres
ent, probably the largest audience in the
building since the old days of the war, when
il was known as wheeler's Hall, and fairs
were held there to raise money for the San

time particularly the children, for whom
the grange opens its 'oors several times
