It is my genuine oonviotion that the japaneee eaters are felly entitled to the credit they receive for the delineation a sentiment and passion. Few spootatore, however hardened by experience, could witnese unmoved, the masterly exhibitions of fortitude under suffering, filial devotion, aonjagal tenderness, and patriotio ardor which are oonstantly presented for the Ad- miration of the theatre -going multitude. And really oar audiences are sometimes more than moved. In the season a 1857, Ichikawa Ichiso wan playing the pert of a pirate °hid who treats hiu father with great cruelty and exposes label to shame as well os grief. The performance was one day interrupted by a samurai from a distant province, who euddenly sprang upon the stage and attetaked Ichikawa with a dagger, inflict. ing swami wounds before 1e oould be owed and disarmed. He had been so carried awns by the actor's truthfulness that he attelbuted to the man himself, and not to the ideal character, the acts of filial impiety. The brilliant romantic actor Yebizo was menu egad in repro. senting a treatherous foaming master, who first assassinatee a rival eveordeman and afterward murders, under drawn. stances of unparalleled atrocity, the two sons of hie vie:aims Daring this latter scene of inhuman slaughter spectator in the pit flung a heavy tobacco box at the actor's bead, severely bruising him, and for a short time suspending the progress of the play. Immediately after the curtain was drawn, at the ohne of the aot, Yebizo presented himself before the audience, with the tobacoo-box fastened upon his head in place of the cap he had worn during the performance.

All the booke printed for several centuries almost universally assert, they take it in sport, play with it. It is Raton. tilling how little is known of the habits of a fieh seen daily by thousands during the weeks and months it is ranning up the fresh water rivers. If any one will it on a rook and cast a fly, and bring a seaman to his feet, he will see that he takes it in anger, that his eye will be like a coal of fire, and a tiger ready to strike his prey will not indioate more fury. His appear- ance is precisely that of a rattlesnake in the act of defending himself. His gills, and eyes alike, a burning red, I have often brought one to my feet, so that my Indian could gaff him, before he struck the fly, and have seen this exhibition of anger again and again, and so intenee that be • never noticed me or my rod till the fly pricked him. The knowledge of this fact will account for many peculiarities about fly fishing. Any one not ekilfulienough to entice a Ash to his feet can easily verify this by watching a salmon while his own • .panion oasts a fly at him, and wie the indifference he may show to it for a time, and finally be provoked into making a rush at it in a state of absolute frenzy. This le why they so often come short of the fly, but when they are excited and angry it will take a smart angler to get his fly away.-- .Farest and Stream. Two Millen Plants. The ohief gardener of the city—he has about 400 other gardeners undet his in- atruotione—telle me that the total number of plants employed for the toilet of Paris is about 2,000,000.

THE PEOPLE'S BIRTHRIGHT, its Restoration Urged as the Antidote to Socialism. iff10 PAYS THE LAND SPECULATOR ? Who fla a i1giit on the Earth ?-11 ur- dens for Weak Shoulders—Too Much Bleddlesome Law—The ineform Ncces- sary—ls it Xust soma PAPEa. Continuing our inquiry Into the land question we will be forced to the concha - Won that if the earth is, in any- reasonable Senee, intended, for the children of men, and not for the opeoulative purposes a a few of thetas; if the Creator is the " father a the sprite of all fleth " and the world is the work of His bander, then multitudes of men have been cheated out of their birthright and have not received even the fool's mess of pottage. They tame boon lean into a world belonging not to the Lord for the uses of all the children of men, bat into a world owned by the landlords and in which they find theraselvee tolerated only on condition of liming tribute in the shape of a oonsiderable proportion of their earnings. Not only are they forced to pay to the landlord for the privi. lege of living and working on the earth, but they are further required to pay taxes on almost everything they consume, for support of Government and whatever sehemes, wise or otherwise, it num undertake. It even mum that the owners of the soil are privileged to vote heavy taxes upon them while they are denied the franchise, and the money thus taken from them is taken to make a gift to some man or company about to engage in some private enterprise w3aieh the land. lords expect will enflame the speouletive vedue of their properties, and by to doing increase rents and. make narrower the worker' margin of enbsistenoe. They cannot vote; they must pay. A new fac. tory locates in a neighborhood, or a new railway is built; capital and labor are expended; but do capital and labor roan the full reward of thele investment moil expenditure of energy? No. Mr. Land. lord may not have expended a cent or a day's work, but he takes advantage of the improvements and turns on the rent sorew and rases the speculative figure. The result is that the landlord and speculator obtain money without laboring. Where did it come from? Who earned it? Nature requires; perfeot compeneation. Somebody earned it, and the lemel thank pooketed it; somebody is out exhaly the amount of the increment thus appropri- ated. Figaro it out at your leieure, and justify it if you oan. Tako the case of ea new town, se one in which a siraple illustration can be briefly outlined: Bay one hundred settlers locate a town site, survey it, pith out their lots and go to work. Ninety-five of them build houses and business places and live on them. The other five may have other em- ;dun:lent or they may be unemployed, but they do not build but leave their lots in a stale of nature. Business ateraets busi- ness, and our little town in a few years grows to be a city. The five lots held by the con -improvers have grown immensely valuable owing to the concentration of population in their locality aged the desire of many to possess them, and having paid only a vacant lot tax and expended not a dollar in improvements, their owners after a few years aro able to unload thorn at prices that make them comparatively wealthy. Somebody earned that mousy; what did them five men do that they should be enabled to take it as the prioe of their permission to nee them? They had done nothing, expended noth- ing. The price they obtained represented what is known to economists as "unearned increment "—unearned to them it certainly was; it was the product of the labor of the community, which was, to the extent that they profited, crippled and impoverished. They were purely and solely land epecula- tors, and land speculation is rendered possible only by our system of land owner- ship, which serves no other useful (?) pur- pose. And here let me remark that land seaman ion never added a dollar to the value of ot orno the wealth of the world; never ado crops grow better ; it never improved O roads or bridges or eanitation of the rid; so far as land dealing is speculation is gambling in land values as much as e the deals of the bucket Shope and stook changes gambling in grain futures. Lend nnot properly be said to represent mean , although improvements (pro -Mots of or) do. Nor does a man, ewe:hotly eaking, buy land, but rather the Hetet of osession. In the transfer no capital is Mel up as far asthe nation is coneerted ; s the taking of the earninge of a mmunity without the return of an nivadent in. productive energy or its resentative is evil and only evil.

"Bub how would you get al men who have already made money, Borne of it by speculation in land, and who have it in house s or improvements or produce, in cash or mortgages 2" Some of it might escape.

The sweat reduction in taxation that would follow the adoption of snoh slaystent weal in itself be a boon to the people ol any actuary. An indirect tax is always an nnequal tax, paid in large roeasnre by thoee who are least able to bear it. It is it costly tax to collect, and fraud is difficcdt to pre. vent. It costs ire our own country millions mentally to collect, besides the neknovvn auras hypothecated in ono way and another between the foreign shipper and the ex- chequer; and it permits the oonsunaer to be bled iv rings and combines on every hand. The improvements and income taxes are equally reprehensible. A land tax is an easy tax to levy; an easy 000 to col- lect. A. direct tem, while it tvonld save milliongin collection, would save more mil- lions in its expending over an indirect one.

But even this terror is not available to the opponents of reform. The right of the whole people as represented by the Crown in the lands of the British realm has never been abrogated by law, as it cannot be in fact, and the way to enforce that right is to cease burdening labor, production and extheinge with taxes', and use the publio's part of the land value, as represented by the unearned increment, to support government instead. It is eau, is honest, ilia equitable; only the idler and speculator need fear the outcome. MASQUETTE. Flowers For hiother. Those who live in crowded communities have no need to seek the pathetic in fiotion. Real life is ever ready to draw tears from the eyes and help from the friendly hand. The Detroit Free Press says that a lady re- siding in Meet city one day answered a ring at her door bell and found a little girl shiver- ing on the step. " Please mean," said the waif, lifting her shy, beautiful eyes to the face above her, "will you give me a flower ?" The request was suolt an unusual one that the lady hesitated ha =prise. "Just one little flower I" pleaded the child, looking as if ehe were about to eery. "Wby of comae you shall have a flower, child! Come in. Yea shall have a pretty red rose," and the good woman looked for her solemn and stepped to the window where the flowere grew. Before she had cut one a light touch fell on her arm. "Nob that one pleene; not a red one; that white one. Oh, won't it be just boofull" and the little girl pointed to a lily just unfolding its petals.
