Hut let th! Cotitmbglon Inquire, if it can, how it come that that tho landlords of thl country and tho farmers aro not only alarmed, but in terror at the produce in corn and cattlo that has to bo brought 4.0CO or fi.OOO miles from tho other bido of tho Atlantic. Thi 1 a question I think that they may fairly examine- cheers, and 1 contest that 1 am not uro that tho (ttaiement roado have been extrava gant or exaggerated. I havo met, within tho last to or three wick, two gentleman very Intimately con nected with thcMj matters in the United States, and I havo been very much fttartted by eymo facts which they havo related to me. The land that I. being occupied In Minnesota, in the United .states, and wlihln the Dominion of Canada I of magnifi cent quality, I am told for tho pro duction of wheat Liverpool In as near to thfe farms na New York wgH a fchort timo ago. A farmer who won very much troubled ami distressed on the uh- Joct, paid, "Well, you know Iwishei that cursed country had never been discovered." (Laughter. The fact U that tho couutry has been discover ed, although they are now trylsig to Had out whero the discoverer was buried but Columbu llvetl and di- eovered Atncric.i and from being otvupied by savages, tlw country now has neariy.jO,ooy,(JUU oi our own l-.ng-Iih Bpeaklng people on tho northern continent, and It will incrca in the course of ' years more, In all p relia bility, to nnt f than 100,000,000. Now, I will tell honorable gentlemen opposite, and It will not add to their comfort, that the growth In the West ern States Is such that land in the Kawtern .States Is decreasing In value. There Is one reawn for it which Is not here. There the protective sys tem of the United States had divert ed all capital in tho Kastern Htates Into tho manufacture of protected ar ticles with the expectation of getting increased profits, and tho capital lias therefore been to a large extent withdrawn from those .State; and, therefore, you find In the New England States and In New York, and I believe to mie extent In Penn sylvania, and thero i.t much land which men do not now think it worth while to plow, and which Is lessening In value and going gradual ly out of cultivation. If the Western Slates had been of so much effect on the land near them, what will bo the effect on land in this country. Cheers. EUKOI'K CAXSOT fcTAND AMKRICAX COMPETITION, When they have 100,000,000 of population they will havo paid their debt : their taxes .will be at a mini mum : they have almost noarmy and no navy, as we havo In Lurope ; "anlrltod foreicn noll- they havo no cy iauSht0r taxes, in proportion -v . t0 1119 population, wui grow lew ana less ; ana how tngland and Juurope win Biatid the corupctltlou of Anacrl ca In rcRard to tho policy of Europ ean nations, with regrard to arma ments and taxes, anybody mlgut try to imagine it, but I will not try to describe it. There aro farmers In America, as you know, who have no rent, no tithes, no poor rate. 1 ou have all these, With you labor has risen. Labor Is very dear in Ameri ca. You are glad that the laborers are well paid ; Ihcy will have to bo still better paid. You complain of the education rate and schools. The effect under the present state of things must bo to drive the educated and spirited young man from the country into thotowns or toemlgrate. Those are matters which I trust this Com mission apd the House will well con sider. Your laws as they now are. would make the laborer's condition perpetual. In America, as tho poet has expressed It, "They till the land who owns the land they till." That is tho great diflerence between the land and Its cultivation in America and the land and Us cultivation in this country. Now, I would ask honorable gentleman opposite not to be afraid ot these questions and of the commission. Recently I had a con versation with Sir William Ingles, a member for Somersetshire, and he did not allow me to tell him, but I may tell you, that I believe it would increase the pride of land all over the country if you would abolish all the ancient and stupid and mischievous legislation by which it i3 embarras ed in every step you take in dealing with the land. Let us have an in quiry, but let us have It wisely and honestly conducted. You cannot escape it ; but if you meet it boldly it will be no more than a spectre. But break down the monopoly which damages the labor of the farms and causes it to disappear and pauperize, the labor which remains. Out of what remains when you have broken down the monopoly there will arise a fairer prospect, and It Is not possible that I shall live to neo It, a 1 1 1110 will como when you will have homes of comfort and Independence throughout tno innd of England, which will at tcht forever tho wisdom and blessed-tie-ss of tho new jtolley you havo adopted.

A thrilling incident recently occur ren in n traveling tnomigcrio at Towan ii, which is tli u related by a local JlKji: The animals in one cage, two lions and a tiger, were fed at that time, l;ing sejiarated by swinging doors, which weie fastened during tho feed ing, and afterward lifted, throwing the ai.iuiHls together it a happy family. X! cto doors wt ro lifted Hf't!r it was "c.'ix.'Wjd tho aiiinmls hud fiuUhcd their .iml, hut a largo icca cf incut Lad been kt hy the honesK. This tho tiger saw, and was about to njuiiig upon it when the Item covered it with Ins paw. Prof. McDonald, tho trainer, ioke to tho lion, but he refuNed to move, and ho then tried to furco tho inat from the animals paws with the feeding fork, but to no purpohe, as the lion held on and growlad in h iianue. To the her. ror of those standing around, the I'ro feHsor openu J tho door of the cage and sprung alniot upon the beast, which in turn sprang tijon the man, striking him a such a wcrful blow on his chest that it stagigercd him and lacer-1 atfd the flesh. An attendant.thinking to assist the how helpless trainer,caitht him by the foot and nulled him near the door. Tho lion ajmin struck hiut, tearing the flesh in his thi: :h. The sit- nation at this time m one of terrible suss-nse to those who were involuntary witiH'swcs of it. Ladt;i ftdutcd, chil dren screamed ; but the trainer, who seemed to suddenly ' recover his sensf-s, was on hU feet in a moment. He looked tho big beat souarely in the eyes, and met him hulf war, maintain ing the steady gHe. He snid in a firm yet affV-ctionate manner, "Nod, what are you doing! Io yen want to kill me, your best friend 1" The Towanda iiaper says it renlly seemed that the "king of tho forest" understood every word that was being itiid to him, for, dropping his eyes, he went to tho piees of meat and stioveU it to his keeper, i In then ap proached his trainer nn-l lmike.1 very jienitent for what he !.n l !', lying cnhniy down at Lis h-et.

Few men can stand success. Per haps the career of "Brick" Porncroy exemplifies this as well as anything in the world. "JJrick began Iito in thu State of JSew York, lie drifted west, sometimo in the 50's, and settled at Horricon, Wisconsin, where he acquired notoriety from three things unlimited amount of impudence, coarse, frontier wit, and a preuisiosition to quarrel with his wife. &h& left hint, and he went down to Milwaukee and secured . n . -a a- a tiosiiion on one 01 the Milwaukee dailiec as local editot. Here he sound ed tho dapths of cheap wit, and pro duced a lot of articles on the mule, the hotse, the elephant, after a fashion then somowhat in rogue, and which still, in some small measure, unhappily afllicts the bucolic pretis. About the breaking out ot tho war he went to iACrosse, where ho married a nsw wife, and took control of the LaCrosse JJemocrut. Here fci struck into that anti-war idea 1 which made him famous. Us built an oflice and opera LoiiKe, one of the finest in the country, and gained a national circulation. In the hit-lit of his pros- ierity he came acrotui a woman in Cleveland wiih $100,000. Ho con ceived the idea that it would be a good notion to marry her, and with her money goto New Yotk and start a Democratic organ for the nation. Ho ho came home to ICrosse and tried to induce wife No. 2 to quit. She ceuldu't see it, and thereupon he becan to quar rel with her, and hnally drove her of! -She uistituted proceedings for a divorce, without obtaining much satiafactioa for time. "Brick had made a large part of his reputation by abusing Ben. But- Iur. As soon as Ben. heard of the row in "Brick's" family, ho tendered his scr vicea to Sirs. Pomeroy, free. He took "Brick" by the neck and made liiui set tle. He agreed to pay lus wife 10, 000. He borrowed $0,000 of his new wiii', ana gave mat to his oi l one, se curing her on the other $4,000 on Lis orient house and priming ollice in La crosse. Then he went to ew York and started Lis daily tsuicr. He never knew anything of business, and he plunged in without regard to exine, In a few months he had spent bis third wife's fortune, x ben he quarreled with her and hho left bita. He then joined the Tweed rin?, borrowed fCO.000 of thein. and nicrit that, and kept on until he owed nearly ever; body on the At lantic s!oe. In the meantime Le had married another woman. He absolute ly ran toihore in New York city, when he packed up his traps and move! to Chicago, where ho atar'cd what he aatd was to be the greatest gnenback paier of the nation. Here ho develorcd his presitlcntiiil mania, and started out to bet-owe the workinjtncn and green backera candidate for President. To l this ' lie ortraniwxl greenback dubs all over the west, the members of which subscribed to a sort of oath, pledging personal fealty to " Brick. In the meantime he fell m love with hut lady proof reader, drove wife No. 4 off, and married wife No. Tt. During Lis New York career he had been so busy as to have lost sight of the fact that wife o. held a mortgage on Lis La Crosse property. It fell duo and was fore closed. The business men of IaCroHse were indignant at the way she had been treated. No one would bid against her, so she secured proixjrty that cost $00,000, and was paying a handsome rent, for $1,000. "Brick's" political aspirations, and the necessity that he felt of catrying out the style of a great man, soon told on hut newspaper enter prise in Chicago, lie then went back to LaC'rosse, and found a rich farmer, who had a son-in-law with journalistic aspirations. "Brick" induced them to think that heaven had ordained and set apart this young man as a business manager for a great daily paper. Ihe old man furnished the money, "Brick" rented his old oflice from Lis No. 2 wife in LaCrosse, and went back to Chicago to move Lis establishment to the scene of Lis early triumphs. His necessities at that time were so great that after Le arrived thero lie had to have 2,000 Bent him by telegraph, to release tho claims of his creditors.

Tho first great secret of good health is good habits, and the next is regulari ty of habits. They are briefly summed up in tho following rules: Luve yourself the necessary amount of sleep. Home men need live hours of the twenty-four: others nood iirht. Avoid feather beds. Bleep in a gar ment not worn during the day. and have plenty of fresh air in your bed room. Hress warmly, with woolen under- shirts and drawers. Remove muflier, overcoat, overshoes, etc,, when remain ing any considerable length of time in a warm room. Keep your feet warm and dry. Wash them in warm water two or three times a week. Wear warm stocking, large boots and overshoes when in the snow or wet. Wear a light covering cn the head, - keepinz it always cool. Have always a pint or ouart of water in the sleeping room. In the morning after washing and wiping hands and face, then wet, with the hands, every part of the body. Cold water will not be disagreeable when applying it with the bare hands. Wije immediately ; follow by brisk rubbing over the body. Tho whole operation need not take over live minutes. The rrclt of thus wash is, tho blood is brought to the surface of the skin and made to circulate even ly throughout the body.
