The Irish Question. inca | Without doubt the Irish land question is entering a new phase. A movement on the part of the Conservative party in faver of buying out the Irish landlords, and dealing more favorably with tenants in arrears has ensured that result. Mr. Gladstone, as he supposed, put his foot down destructively on the Lords Land Act Committee. But ‘that committee has just made a report embodying the new policy of the Con- servative party, which will either bring Fourth District. about the fall of the Gladstone adminis- MES WN SON tration or compel it to completely remodel La Oe ray romin ‘the Land Act, so far as its purchase and B Sf : arrears clauses are concerned.

Murder Mania in Ontario.
We are at a loss‘to account for the numer- ous murders committed in Ontario. They are far in excess of what might be looked for. Many of them are of a particularly atrocious kind, in which the most sacred family ties are set at naught. Strange to say, too, the scene
from centres in which vice and erime seem most likely to abound.
The result cannot be attributed to the mere prevalence of ignorance. Ontarie’s eda- cational facilities are good and widely dif- fused. Nor can the result be due to any marked want of religious privileges. The eading denominations are particularly active throughout Ontario, and churches and min- isters abound init. A cause there must be, but whatever its character the result is great- ly to be deplored. —Vevws.

Maavaten Istanps.—Gentlemen in this city who are intimately acquainted with the affairs of Magdalen Islands do not believe the state of affairs there can be as bad as represented. The supply of food sent there before navigation closed was ample for the populaticn, up to the present time. On the the 23rd ult., a firm in this city, doing business with the Islands, des. patched the sch. ‘‘ Daniel” with provisions for them. Under the ciremastances it is believed that, though the inhabitants may fear a ecarcity of food, there can be ro danger of a famine, as the schooner
will get there as soon as the ice breaks up. } — Halifax paper.
16, 1882.". The explorer says:—‘‘ . . . You may guess from the tenor of the above that I am not ill nor depressed in spirits, nor languid, nor disposed to wish myself anywhere but where | am—in short, that I am at least in tolerably good health.
«+ + JT have been ill though. I sup- pose you may have heard of it. In feet, I have sven and tasted of death, and I now know what it means. I pity my comrades who have gone before me in « different fashion from what 1 used todo, This severe illness occurred during May, and I was nearly all June recovering from it. was a palsied and miserable wretch when | informed my people that I should get well.
. I have exactly two hundred and thirty-six men with me in this camp— Zan- zibaric, natives and Europeans. There is net one man in disgrace—not ove who has been scolded; not one voice has been ra‘sel in anger. At the present time I have no cause of discontent with any living person. From the sea to the present camp our life has been eful and pleasant, so far as the natives are con- cerned. They have done much for me, and I have done much for them. The first year we had some trouble with the whites, but they were not of my choosing. They were strangers in Africa, and most of them had never been out of their own country. Consequently one slight fever damaged their African enthusiasm so much that the begged me to send them heme. Well, sent fourteen home at 8 cost of about $2,100. Put down the same sum for their expenses out, and you have the nice little sum of $4,200. Two of these men stepped frei the steamer on shore, and then stepped back againand went home. After I had advanced into the interior some other whites thought I would continne the same good service and send them home as fast as they drank too much water or smoked a little too much and felt a tritle sickish, but I was getting tired of spending good money to show a lot of useleas people a mite or two of West Africa, and finally made a vow that not one should go home until the work was ended. It saved the expedition; those very men who cried out that they were dying are robust and hearty, and kis are
“| now ashamed of their weakness.”
Stanley goes on to say that the hardest part of the work is over aud that the pres- ent year will probably see his task eom- pleted. He pays his men liberal wages and they work nine hours a day at somethin or other, he does not say what. Edw King says he is the agent of companies which have invested large amounts ef cap- ital in opening up sections of Africa, and who naturally desire to secure for them- selves all the advantages which may accrue from the explorer’s labors. ‘‘In a few months,” he adds, ‘‘we shall probably hear rather interesting and possibly somewhat startling news from the little camp on the Upper Congo.”

Tat advertising has become a science some time since to a place among the modern proverbs. Nevertheless, it happens at intervals that the appearance of some start ling novelty leads to the feeling that not even the balf has been learned, and that progress is hardly beyond the A B C’s, At least it would appear so when the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company expends thousands of dollars upon a single publication, and issues for grat- uitous distribution a work which in every de- tail compares most favorably with any ever offered for a price by the most noted publish- ers of the country. Indeed, it is seriously to be questioned if any book in paper cover was ever produced equalling “* Picturesque B. & 0.” Such is the title of the book, advance copy of which has just been received. It is one hundred and fifty-two pages in extent, and upon them is displayed a series of engravings which no numbers of Harper’s or Scrib- ner’s, high as is the standard of these magazines, ever equaled, The fact that Thomas Moran, to-day the foremost artist on mountain scenery in the world, made more than seventy drawings expressly for this one work establishes its exalted character in a word, as it were. When are added the exqui- site ~roductions of W. Hamilton Gibson and the .«<etches of Sol. Eytinge, of Sheppard, and of Ferris, and then to state the fact that the cutting is by engravers of the highcst reputation in the land, there can be no doubt- ing the belief that in this instance it may well be said that no expense has beens . It would seem as if it were asking altogether too much to expect such a book to be given away. The cover alone is wcrthy of being preserved as a remarkable specimen of artistic designing and printing. The latest production in color work by the American Bank- Note Company, it will puzzle many an expert ‘te eomprehend the manner in which the superb eflcets are gained. The book is upon exceedingly tine per, and the composition and press work by Kuight & Leonard, of Chicago, cannot be ex- celled. While the engravings are printed with rare skill and the result simply superb, the letter press has not been sacrificed ia the slightest, and is a modei of beauty and clear- ness. The author, Mr. J. G. Pangburn, aside from his whilom reputation in newspaper circles, is not envirely unknown to fame in book-making, bis name appearing upon the title page of the ‘ Rocky Mountain Tourist,”
the “*B. & O. Red Book,” and sundry other
‘blications. His taste and judgment in per- loctiog illustrated works is certainly fine, and the company in giving him a earte blanche, as it evidently has, on “ Pictureeque B. & O.,” ain its unceasing enterprise
