Lord Dufferin has published a paper on the Irish land guestien, in which he strongly con- demns the ‘‘three F’s" system (‘‘fair rent, free sales and fixity of tenure”) pointing out that the sale of tenants’ interesta has a ten- dency to saddle holdings y with double rent, and, he says, the system, if granted, would only further encourage # new set of agitators to endeavor to dispussess the landlords ef the remaining vostages of their rights. Lord Dufferin favora a system copied from that adopted at the enfranchisement of the Russian serfs—namely, the buying up of a large portion of land in Ireland and the conversion of the rents into land charges payable to the State. For the cuntalanity poverty stricken districts of the west he re- commends a great system of State-aided emigration to Manitoba and the northwest of

| aiey of clothing, by his farm boy, |

Yaniel Arbuckle, formerly of Newfound- j land. On the morning of i THE ROBBERY

' Arbuckle arose before daybreak, and while his master was sleeping, entered his bed- room, opened his trunk, and took out of it a cash box containing over one hundred and fifty dollars, a large number of notce- of-hand, and other valuable papers. He carried it to the wood-yard, where he cut the usual quantity of firewood and ended the job by

i CUTTING OPEN THE CASH BOX,

| and taking therefrom the amount in oash above stated. The box, containing notes, papers, etc., he left in the wood yard and quietly returned to the honse and hastily packed a portisanteau with clothing be- ) longing to his waster. The clothing he de- posited in the snow, and returning again to the house, ate A HEARTY BREAKFAST. When he had finished his meal, Mr. Henry Wood, son of the gentfeman robbed, drove op: on way tothe city. Arbuckle inform- him of his inteation of going to town to change his clothing, and asked permission to drive in with him. Permission was granted and shortly our hero was REVELLING IN LUXURY at one of our city hotels.

NewrouNDLANDERS To THs Froxt.—We learn with very g eat pleasure that Mr. Charlies U' Brien Keddin has heen promoted to the vacant managership of Roberts Arm mine. We have reason to beiieve that this appoint- ment is a most judicious ove, Mr. Reddin is a thoroughly competent and tical m: er. and has epent some five yware in the vervice of the mining company. We have been told that he hay served through every department of mining, except that of the smelting worker. Mr. Guzman has, in all the seleeti ue of his staff, which is a very etiicient ene, shown grest discriminstion—a quality which was al © very promin nt in Mr. Eliershucen. This is the third Newfoundlander to whom the Notre Dame Bay mining company have en- trusted the manazement ef a mine —a position wf very large responsibility. Tbe other two geatlemes are Mr W. 1H, Boyle and Mr. }. LeMessurier, the mausgers respectively of Hall's Bay and Colcheeter mines. All three are young men and deserve very great credit for their persistency and dilligent application te business. qualities that in most cases lead to success. Mr. Gusman deserves to be con- pone not less on his discernment aad

eon eye for merit than on his liberality of spirit that forms so marked @ contrast to the traditional spirit of employers in this country. He has stepped out of « well worn ruck. The rule has been wnoet gag hegeeeten day, merit or no merit, we the head: of the soil—a practice that has been the curse of thie unlertuuets souctry.
