Alien Landlordism in the United! States.

About six weeks ago the Chicago Tribune published an article on alien landlordism, asserting that an Irishman named William Scully, now residing in’ London, England, is proprietor of be- tween 75,000 and 90,000 acres of the best farming lands in Illinois. The writer of the article on visiting the Scully estate claims that the lands are tilled by a wretched class of tenants from whom are exacted enormous rent- als. Almost the entire proceeds from the sale of their crops went to pay the rent. The article attracted much atten- tion and numerous communications on the subject have been received from various parts of the country. Among others a prominent citizen of Kansas strongly deprecated alien landlordism, aud called attention to his discovery that large tracts of land in his own state were owned by Scully. Following the suggestion derived from this letter an investigation was instituted, the result of which has been published. The article says:—“ A tour of Kansas and certain portions of Nebraska developed the rather startling in- formation that the title to more than 100,000 of the choicest prairie lands in the sister states of Kansas and Nebraska is vested in the name of Wm. Scully. All of these vast tracts have been added to his lauded estates within five years, and although a small portion is under cultivation the same system of farm renting that exists in Illinois is rapidly being introduced in these states. Be- tween sixty and seventy families have bound themselves to Scully, and so long as they remain on his land they cannot throw off the yoke that holds them in slavery. Before obtaiuing a lease they must agree to waive all rights of ex- emp'ion, and until their rent is paid everything they possess, iacludiog the growing crops, belongs to Scully. Each tenant is obliged to sign a lease for a period of five years. No provision is made in the lease for a renewal, and at its expiration the tenant must either move or submit to whatever rent the landlord choses to exact. By close economy the tenants may quit the place when their Jease expires as well off as when they began. The price paid by Scully for the land ranges from $5 to $8 per acre and it is claimed that much of the land is now worth at least $30 per acre.”

—- S——- Church Union.

The ‘‘open letters” of the Century have, for some time past, been largely taken up with the question of Christian union. The Rev. Dr. Shields, a dis- tinguished Presbyterian clergyman, pro- posed the liturgy of the Protestant Episcopal Church as a basis of co- operation. This the Rev. Howard Crosby pronounces magnanimous, as coming {from a Princeton man and very complimentary to his and Dr. Shields’ Episcopal bretherv. But he has no faith in it and, in sever formal objections he undertakes ‘o show that it is im- practicable. Corporate union, indeed, he hardly approves of, even if were possible. ‘The truth is,” he says, ‘‘that Christians caunot be made to agree on the points referred to, nor on secondary matters of doctrine and church govern- ment, nor is it desirable that they should

agree. Down deep in the funda- mentals of Christ's divinity, in- carnation, sacrifice for sin, the

gift of the spirit, faith, repentance, the new life, Christians of all evangelical creeds and customs agree and in these they unite, but on nothing else. A visi- ble union can be brought about only with the liberty of each Christian or group of Christians, holding his or their differen- ces in creed and custom. The union would be by periodical congress for prayer and conference and co-operative work in Christian associations and al- liances, for general effort against false- hood and infidelity. This union is feasi- jble, and is, indeed, beginning to be a fact through more enlighteved Christiandom.” In connection with Dr. Shields’ proposal of makivg the liturgy a basis of union, readers of Dr. Grant’s “ From Ocean to Ocean” will racall that the expedition of which he was so prominent a member used a form of prayer compiled by cler- gymen of the Koman Catholic, Presby- terian and Anglican churches, specially for the use of surveying parties.

The Fishery Question.

In an article on “ The Fishery Ques- tion,” in the North American Review for March, by Theodore R. Woolsey, the writer, after reviewing the agreements made since 1783 and characterizing each of them, in accordance with its results, asks the question, *‘ Shall we secure the opening of all Canadian waters for our fishermen? In reply he writes:—* I believe that a wise and statesmaniike foresight demands it. gNothing is more foolish than to argue that because we do not need it now, we shall never need it.

A change in the habits of the fish, or a

change in the methods of the fishermen, ‘would make it indispensable ; and both are possible. Ifwe rely on the treaty of 1818 alone, when our smacks resort again to the galf, we shall at once have a repetition of the difficulties and con- troversies which marked the old order of things. Arbitrary arrests ; armed resistance; the qtestion of the three-mile limit; the right to navigate the Gut of Canso; the right of trauship- ment; bitter feeling; cruisers confront- ing each other; uapleasaut diplomatic struggles—all these rise up from the past to witness against it. How shall we secure the opening of Canadian waters? I reply, by the payment of a lump sum for the right to fish in per- petuity. This was tried in 1871. It is in accordance with the precedents of our past history. It would open for ever privileges which may become of very great value. It would solve the fishery question finally. It would heal a long open sore. This is a good time to buy, when what our neighbors have to sell seems worthless. They need the trade of our fishermen. It is a wise policy for them to encourage this without equivalent. They could well afford to opens to us their waters simply for the traffic our veasels would bring. Matters have changed since 1871. The refusal of a million for the privilege then does not imply the refusal of half that sum now.” noent-nmgsitiis aiaatillatiesit lias

A Mermaid.

The startling announcement made on Tuesday afternoon, says the North Sydoey Herald, that a mermaid was to be seen at Messrs. Archibald & Co,’s large warehouse, drew a great number of people to the place to see the curiosity. It appears that two years ago a large box arrived at this port, in bond, ad- dressed to ‘W. S. McLean, North Sydney,’ and with the words ‘promptly forward’ on the box, below the address, The box has beenin the bonded ware- house ever since, and it was only yester- day that it was opened, when the dis- closure was made that North Sydaey had @ mermaid in it for two years, although altogether unconscious of the

great distinction. The mermaid, although not very handsome, is rather striking in appearance, Its hair although some- what tangled, by reasoa of a lack of toilet for so long,.is still indicative of better days when it shone resplendent amid the waves. The arms and body are of that sbape and contour which it would naturally be supposed should be possessed by one of the mermaid species. It is about three feet long, the tail and fins being thoroughly fish like. The entire appearance of the creature is weird and well worth seetng.

Prophecies from Spiritland.

There is great excitement io spiritual- istic circles in Leavenworth, Kan., about a 15 year old colored girl named Clano Ross, who lives in Third avenue with her parents, who are intelligent, respect- able people. Last Sunday the girl said she had been called to the spirit world and would leave at 7 o’clock and return at 5 the next morning. She went to sleep at the hour named and awoke pre. cisely at 5 o'clock. She then related that she had been called to the spirit land to bring back a warning to the peo- ple to prepare themselves for great destruction of life and property during the coming summer by cyclones and floods; that the city is doomed unless the danger can be averted by prayer. She saw many relatives who have long since been dead, and describes the place visited as beautiful in the extreme. Aiter talking about four hours she said she was called to leave again and said how long she would be away or asleep, and awoke at the hour named.

onsiseninhiiilillSthaalas hcl ii eas A Negress 119 Years of Age.

‘There is now in Atlanta, Ga., a negress named Sarah White, born near Charlottesville, Va, 1767, being thus 119 years of age. When the old woman was 13 years age she was bought by a negro trader named Billy Fletcher, who carried her, with 129 segroes, to Char- leston. The drove went through the country on foot, Seven bloodhounds guarded the drove of chattels at night, and not one of them could go outside the limits of the camp. During their trip through to Charleston they encountered many hardships, being thinly clad and barefocted. After the war she went to Atlanta, where she has lived ever since. She has a scar on her head which she has borne for 102 years.
