Land Reform in Great Britain.
Tho agricultural interests of Great
Britain are in an unsatisfactory condi
tion, notwithstanding the great progress
made there in scientific farming. Lord
Leicester, speaking in Norfolk last Oc
tober, said that after careful considera
tion he had come to the conclusion that
the product of tho soil of the country
was not more than half what it ought to
be. The same opinion has more recontly
been expressed by Lord Derby, who says
that calculations which he had carefully
made convinced him that the annual loss
to the country from deficient cultivation
was no lets than 200,000,000, a sum
equal to three times the whole taxation
of the kingdom.
It is not bclioved that farmers make
great profits, notwithstanding that the
agricultural laborers of England receive
but the merest pittance for their work.
The deplorable condition of this class ef
tho population, as shown by the reports
of Parliamentary commissions, and
brought just now into special notice
by the "Warwickshire Btrike, is exciting
general attention in England, and is as
cribed primarily to the lack of capital
at .the command of those who cultivate
tho roil.
Tho opinion is expressed in influential
quarters, and is constantly gaining
ground, that the greatest drawback to
the agricultural interest of Great Britain
consists in the cumbersome and anti
quated system of land laws, which oper
ate to keep the greater portion of arable
lands in the hands of a comparatively
small number of families.
Of twenty-five million inhabitants of
Prussia, not less than five millions are
directly interested in the soil as small
proprietors ; while in Great Britain, with
an equal population, there are not more
than four hundred thousand parsons
who own the soil they till. The c.iuse
of this state of things is not so much the
poverty of the farmers as the faut that
the purchase of land in Great Brit
ain is attended with such extra
ordinary expenses in the way of
transfer, lawyers' fees, searches for titles
extending back an indefinite number of
years, and the like, that a man of small
means finds it far cheaper to rent his
farm than to buy it, even if he has the
money in his pocket. It follows that
persons engaged in the cultivation of
ground which does not belong to them
will not be likely to expend their money
lu such a manner as to insure its perma
ncnt enrichment, and thus bring it to
the highest point ot productiveness.
Another serious obstruction to tho
Inchest development of agriculture in
Great Britain is found in the laws of
entail and strict settlement. These dis
courage the investment of capital in .
ricultural operations, and increase the
complications of titles and the expense
and delay incident to the transfer of real
estate. By these laws the greater por
tion of the real estate in Great Britain
is held by persons whs in reality are
only tenants for life, and who, therefore,
will not spend money on their land as
freely as if they owned it in fee simple,
Indeed, it is often out of their power to
do so, for if their property is all in land,
and they become embarrassed, they can
nut sell it or borrow money on it at
easonable terms, but have to struggle
un through life the nominal own ts of
large estates which they can not make
properly productive.
Tenants can not be expectad to supply
the means for tho full development of
the land which they cultivate, since un
der existing laws they have no claim
for unexhausted improvements, except
iu Ireland, and it would be foolish in
them to spend their own means for the
benefit of landlords, who may turn them
adrift at the expiration of their leases,
without any compensation for what they
may have added to the permanent value
of the property.
A significant indication of tho drift of
popular opinion in England on this sub
ject is found in the fact that on the 9th
inst., in the House of Commons, Mr. W.
Fowler moved a resolution condemning
the present state of the law of entail and
strict settlement of laud as a discour
agement to the investment of capital in
agriculture. Although the resolution
was negatived by a vote of 103 to 61, its
introduction served to provoke an ani
mated discussion of four hours' duration
during which Mr. Fowler's motion re
ceived the earnest support of several
prominent members of tho Ilouse, who
gave free' expression to their views in
favor of sweeping reforms in the land
laws. It also had the effect of drawing
from Mr. Gladstone an admission that
tho entire subject of the laws of entail,
settlement and limited ownership de
mands the early and serious consmera
tion of Parliament.
Various circumstances have combined
to give this subject special prominence
in Great Britain at this time, and there
can be little doubt that the agitation
will be pursued until it results in secur
ing important changes in the laws rela
ting to entail, settlement anal transfer of
land, and also in regard to the rights of
tenants to an ownership in exhausted
improvements, bo far as the law or en
tail is concerned, the only argument
that can be brought in its favor is that
it tends to uphold in power a landed
aristocracy, and that is an argument
which in these days may prove injurious
to thoso who use it.
A waiter girl in the Coliseum refresh
ment saloon is reported to have stolen
the heart of one of the members of the
British Grenadier Band, and a vacancy
in that musical body and an emigration
of a certain Johnny Bull from Old Eng
land to New will soon take place in
consequence.
Spiritual Afflnltr.
From a train of the Pacific Railroad,
eastwaid bound, there came into the
city of Council Bluffs, la., a fortnight
ago, a fine-looking woman slightly
past the first bloom of life, but still not
very matronly m manner who, upon
registering at the Paciflo House, com
plained that she felt Unwell and desired
that a doctor should be called. Hhe was
an English lady, she told the hotel clerk,
on hor way homeward to England from
a trip by sea to San Francisco, and,
finding herself attacked by alarming in
disposition in the cars, had decided to
pause on her journey until assisted by
medical skill. It being not suppnsably
the custom of English ladies of rank to
travel across continents without mascu
lino escort, the clerk was skeptical as to
tho exact veracity of this explanation
and troubled not himself to consider
whether a medical practitioner of the
highest professional grade should be
summoned in such a caso.
Amongst the guests of the houso at
the time was a certain travelling doctor,
of some reputation for "wonderful
cures," and him the young gentleman
recommended with off-hand fluency as
the physician to be called with the least
trouble to himself. Accordingly, when
the lady had been conducted to a room,
the aforesaid itinerant was notified to
pay his respects, and was skillful enough
to discover that his patient's ailment
existed more in imagination than reality.
This he frankly told her, in effect, and
prescribed some trifling nervine; but
the lady, who gave her name as Mrs.
Fitch, persisted in thinking herself an
invalid, and demanded a course of treat
ment. She was, she said, a spiritualist
and a clairvoyant, and knew her own
condition better than any doctor could
tell her, and she must take such and
such drugs for the restoration of her
health. Believing that he had a hypo
chondriac to deal with, the man of nos
trums made no strenuous protest against
the involved prospective profit to hini
Eelf of such a case, but being rather
busy at the time with the general callers
drawn to his room by his advertise
ments, deputed his " secretary," a young
Englishman named Stanton, to render
the professional services desired by Mrs.
Fitch. The latter, at her second inter
view with the young deputy? astonished
him greatly by asking if he believed in
" Spiritualism." His polite evasion of a
direct answer subjected hiin to a still
greater surpnso at a third interview,
when upon confessing' that ho was an
Englishman, the eccentrie lady serenely
told him that ho was tho person selected
by the spirits for her husband I He
thought her mnd, and would have re
treated without further conversation,
but his patient begged him to remain
and hear her story.
ller father, she declared, is an English
bishop, and her family one of the most
respeetable and wealthy in England.
Although but thirty-hve years old, she
had wedded and buried three husbands
already, losing the last one in California ;
and on her way from San Francisco was
spiritually impressed with the con
viction that sho should very soon meet
lellow-cu'.intryman destined to be her
fourth helpmate. At first sight of Mr.
Btanton slio had known him to be tho
person appointed for her by fate, and
now offered him her hand and fortune,
commanded by the spirits. Over
whelmed by the oddity of tho affair, the
barli tan s secretary managed to express
his sense of the honor designed for him
by immaterial parties in another world,
yet requested time for consideration of
his answer. This was granted, and
Mrs. iitcn made no otner effort to in
fluence his judgment than by a display
t what In deemed satisfactory proofs
of her fortune and respectability of
family, lie was poor, in a strange coun
try, and in an unpromising employment,
wniie tne widow, witn all licr eccen
tricity and spiritual delusions, was both
rich and comely. In short, if the Omaha
Dee is to be credited, Mr. Stanton finally
conclnded to accept the destiny thus
curiously thrust upon him, was married
to the lady in the parlor of the hotel a
lew days ago, and is now in this city
with his strange bride, on tho way to
Europe.
Homes Reduced by Dress.
Only those women who have not the
money to " dress can fully appreciate
the crushing weight which society ruth
lessly heaps upon this disability. To be
unable to " dress" is to be treated with
ulniObt disrespect in the car, the boat,
itt the public gathering, tho street and
the shop ; to bo ignored ; to feel the
bkrug of contempt, the sneer of levity
and the smile of scorn ; to be thrust
aside ; to be laughed at : to be uncere
moniously displaced j to be cruelly
driven out of good society : to have
your heart, your intelligence, your
thought, your virtue, your character
held as nothing against silk; t bo
stung ; to be outraged ; to be prosoriued ;
to be insulted : all this and much more
for the lack of money " to dress."
It matters not whether this rule ot so
ciety is right or wrong, the fact remains
to blight and to ruin, lhe fashionable
lady thinks nothing of paying $73 for
making a dress, made up ot forty yards
of silk, at from fi to $ 10 per ird.
These are the women who rule tho
street, drawing-rooms, theatres dart
we say churches. After such the lesser
lights take pattern. What defense have
the girls who work for from J1 to $10
per week against this array i
Abe rich can bo fashionable, the poor
cannot be by honest means, lhe poor
industrious shop girl looks upon even
$50 dresses and they are beyond her
reach. There is a 40 gulf between her
and them between her and the respect
and attention of society. Her virtue
will span the chasm, (She longs to lift
the load of poverty, to receive the caress
of society, to be treed from bondage,
She sells herself to hell for dress. After
the first step is taken, it is not long be
fore all useful labor is eschewed, and
the foul vice made to be the only ser
vice of income. This is no picture, but
what happens every day, and is a- plain
statement of how the recruits to broth
els are made.
This mania for " dress" is devastating
our American society and demoralizing
American women to an alarming ex
tent. The wives and daughters of the
rich men who lead society in this tear
ful race of extravagance are responsible
tor a great share ot the prostitution
which curses the nation as well as for
thousands of business failures, scattered
families, and the long train of miseries
among us under the cover of " keeping
up appearances." Let those who have
the courage take this lesson and act
upon it.

AGRICULTURAL,
How to Make Hay. An agricultural
gentleman, of more than ordinary intel
ligence, and whose theory and practice
are worthy of respect, says that for 30
years ho tried gathering gross while in
blossom, and at various subsequent
stages of growth, and he invariably
found that he got as much in bulk by
the early as by the latter cuttings, while
the quality ot the former was greatly
superior, as shown by its effects on stock.
It made more bone, more butter, cheese,
beef, and veal.
But to the end that haymaking may
be finished before the grass is badly in
jured by standing too long, he would
start the mower a day or two before the
period of full bloom.
But why hurry the work? Because,
if you do not, the last will be half
spoiled by too late cutting. Tho sugar,
starch, and gum, abounding in early-cut
hay, will be changed into woody fiber ;
the seeds will fall out and be lost ; much
of the foliage will be wasted in the same
way, and the stems and whatever else
may remain will become less nutritious
little better than rye straw.
Again, grass should be dried and
housed as soon as possible after being
cut. The danger of damage by rain is
thus diminished, labor is economized,
your haymaking goes on faster ; if you
cut the grass in the morning and fut
the hay in the barn the saino day, the
injurious change of sugar, starch, and
gum into woody fiber ceases as soon as
the hay is in mow, and it better retains
its nutritious qualities. These consider
ations favor the making of hay in the
shortest possible time.
. Hay should not bo made so dry as
many have supposed. Too much drying
causes it to shed its leaves and its seeds
in tho meadow. It hastens the trans
formation of sugar, starch, and gum, all
nutritious, into woody fiber, not nutri
tious. From thoso causes considerable
loss in food value follows ; and then
there is no use in making hay dry as
tinder ; it will keep as well, better even,
without.
The more hay can be dried by air and
the less by sun the better will bo its
quality. The food value of the grass
will be more fully retained in - the hay,
and less chemical changes, unfavorable
to its nutritiveness, will take place. It
is frequently said hay should not be made
very dry. This is bath false and true
false, should we speak thus of hay wet
ith rain or dew ; for water ou hay
causes it to mold in autumn ana to
smoke ever afterward if handled for re
moval or feeding. It is quite otherwise
ith hay that is moist with tho natural
uico ot the grasses. This, instead ot
molding the hay, sweats it slightly, dif
fusing through it a gentle heat, cooking
it, one might almost say, certainly mak
ing it tenderer, more easily chewed, and
more nutritious to cattle, and better
oved by them, than if it had been
scorched twd or three days in a hot sun.
ouch is the difference ; and to conform
our practice to natural law, we should
exclude water from the haymow with
care and patient labor, but need not fear
to admit a portion of the natural juices,
as they improve rather than deteriorate
tho quality of hay.
The end ot haymaking tor tho season
may be reached in a few daps after the
beginning, and haymaking for a day
may generally not always, ot course
end within 14 hours of a sunrise. But
how can the process be so hastened Y
Thanks to inventors and manufacturers,
brute muscle now does the work once
done by human muscle.
V ith a good mower, you can cut tho
grass between sunrise and 1U o clock,
which would have required eight men
for the same time say five to six acres.
An old man ot 00 or 0, or a smart boy
of 15 or 16, may drive. What a saving
of labor ! .N o wonder farmers say they
cannot afford to cut grass with tho old
s'Cj the.
At 1 1 o clock, dew oil, and hay pretty
well wilted, you can, with a good hay
tedder, one horse, and an old man or a
youngster to drive, throw what hay has
been mowed into the air so many times,
to fall back light and loose as feathers
on tho turf, tho wind and air all tho
time so passing through it, so pernio
ating it, and so absorbing its moisture,
that it dries almost as fast without sun
as with, and becomes fit for the barn by
3 o'clock, or sooner, if the suube shining,
and the air bo not uncommonly moist
This work would have required six
strong, active men tho same time, and
they could not have done it us well. JNO
wonder that farmers who havo tried the
hay-tedder say it helps them quite as
much as the mower.
From 3 o'clock, or a littlo earlier, to 0,
an active boy with a lively horse and a
good horse-rake will put the whole into
windrows, and three more, or four at
most, with a horse hay-lifter, can put all
into the barn or on the stack. Damage
to hay by cutting out of time, and loss
of health by overworking men in hay-
time, may now cease.
Salt for Fowls. A lady thus writes
in Hearth una Home:
"In tho fall of tho year 1869, my
fowls began to molt, as I thought quite
too early ; soon as I oegan to think quite
too fully. I wondered and watched and
wu'.ted at last became convinced that
: beautiful-plumed and hitherto well-
bJi::v riets were actually and unmis
takably uJdicted to that low, vulgar
vice of stealing and eating each other's
feathers. Ot all disagreeablo occurrences
in the hen-yard this is about the most
disheartening. It divests the occupa
tion of all its poetry at once. Even
cackling and crowing, sounds so delight
ful and full of promise to the ear of the
hen-shepherd, lose their jubilant rcson
ance. when, in addition to what you
hear you can see them cackle and crow
all over, that is, it you should not hap
pen to get engaged in the scientific
study of muscular movements as excm
plified in the process.
" What ails your hens was tne ques
tion, ever recurring, andver unanswer
ableeating feathers beingonly a result
of some idiosyncrasy beyond my lath
oming.
" Ilaving read in different papers that
hens must not be fed with salt, and hav
ing taken extra pains to keep it from
mine in their food, I resolved for sake of
change they now should have it.
" I had fed them soar milk or curds
almost daily through summer, so I added
one tcacuptul ot line salt to a pan hold
ing three quarts of sour milk, stirred it
well together and set it before them. At
first they did not seem inclined to eat
it, but soon began one after another to
pick a little, asking by their manner as
well as they could, what have you done
to our clabber 'i I left it standing over
night, and in the morning found it all
gone, and the biddies quite as well as
usual instead ol being dead, as 1 telt .
had some reason to expect. This treat
mont was followed, keeping well-salted
milk before them at least half the time,
giving also plenty of water. The result
was in about a fortnight the long necks
were bristling with pin feathers, and in
an inoredibly short time they wore full
plumed and shining marvellously. Since
then I have taken particular pains to
give my fowls salt food, as much as I
should judge necessary or palatable for
a person, and havo had no more feather
eating, though the fowls and the treat
ment havo beon tho same in other re
spects. " I imagine they obtained a little salt
from the feathers ; whatever tho reason
msy be, the cure was perfoct, and no
injury to the fowls resulted therefrom."
Charles Keade on Tichbornp.
The Tichborne case has evidently re
ceived the close attention of dramatists,
who must have derived many a hint
therefrom in the matter of plot and
character. Mr. Charles Reade gives his
impressions couched in his usual lucid
and direct style, of the identity of the
claimant. Pointing out that three sepa
rate coincidences, fixing guilt upon a
suspected murderer, aro sufficient to
hang him, Mr. Keade goes on to say :
" In the Tichborne case, .the barefaced
coincidences, all pointing to the Tich
borne claimant as Arthur Orton, are not
less than seven ; and to those you may
add one ef superlative importance, viz.:
the coincidence of character. Character
is tho key to men's actions, and it is
clear that Arthur Orton, when quite a
youth, was instinctively inclined toward
an imposture of the same kind, though
not tho same degree, that a jury has
fixed upon the Tichborne claimant.
This youth, though ' begot by butchers,
and by butchers bred, did yet hold his
haughty head high out in Brazil, and
boasted of some lofty origin or other.
If you will only take a sheet of paper
and write down, in separate paragraphs,
all the barefaced coincidences, and then
add the coincidence of character, and
then add to that the circumstance that
no other Arthur Orton could be found
to go into the witness box, and say, ' I
am Arthur Orton,' though thoso four
words would have been worth hlty
thousand pounds to the claimant and
his bondholders, you will see such an
army of heterogeneous proofs, all ra
diating to ono centre, as no recorded
trial ever elicited before. JNow, the
aturalists have laid down -a maxim of
reasoning in such cases, which every
lawyer of England would do well to
copy into his notebook : 1 he true so
lution is that which reconciles all the
indisputable facts.' Apply this test to
the theories that the claimant is Castro,
is Doolan, is Morgan ; those theories all
dissolve before that immortal piece ot
wisdom like hailstones before the mid
summer sun. In the same way to use
favorite form in Euclid it can be
proved that no. other person, except
Arthur Urton, is the Tichborne
laimant."
The Ancles of South America aro said
to be gradually sinking ; at least later
measurements ot distinctive mountains
fall very considerably short of tho old
ones ; and travellers who wish to make
the ascont of the highest mountains in
the world should start quick.

Revolutions IV ever Go Backward.
Tho philosophical theory that the human pyttcm
when weakened by diceae, opprest-lvo heat, excessive
labor or any other cause, Bbould be toned and in
vigorated instead of being subjected to the action of
depleting drag. Is gaining ground every day. The
introduction of Iloetetter'a Stomach Bitters twonty
years ago gave a powerful Influence to thia common
sense Idea. As the extraordinary efficacy of tho Great
Vegetable Restorative became known, multitudes of
debilitated invalids turned with loathing from the
nauseous and strengths ostroylng potions with which
it was then the fashion to drench the sick, to this reno
vating, appetizing, vitalizing preparation derived
from the finest roets, herbs and barks placed by botani
cal research at the disposal of medical science. Revo
lutions nevor go backward. From that time to the
present tho importance of agisting and reinforcing
nature In her struggles with disease has been more
and more widely and keenly appreciated by the sick
and the Buffering. In tens of thousands of households
ilo.itottur's Bitters are looked upon as the one thing
needful In cases of Dvspepsio, Goneral Debility, Con
stipation, rvou Weakness, Chills and Fover, Bili
ous Atfeotlons and all conditions of the body and mind
that betoken a lack of vital energy. When the quick
silver ranees high, and the folid fle?h Is resolving
itself Into a den under the fevid temperature, this
agreeable tonic lt the best possible safeguard against
all the disorders generated bv a sultry and unwhole
some atmosphere. It prevents and relieves lassitude
and languor, and an unusual amount of exertion. Of
all invigorating and regulating medicine?. It is the
purest and most wholesome.
