He said branches of the League would be summoned to meet fortnightly. and if these meetings were also rchihited the only remedy would inevitah y point in the direc- tion of illegal meetings. If the Habeas Corpus Act were suspended he was firmls convinced that violence and outrage woul usurp the restricted influence of the League. At the trials of the traversers the defence suggested that the shorthand news by Gen- stable Stringer had been altered ein'ce it was taken. but failed to shake the witnesses.

So intimate is he with all the pro. oeedin of the fraternity, that he states when t e land agitation was inaugurated a determined resistance was made to it by the supporters of the Fenian propaganda. That organization had then 63,000 members ying a small weekly contribution. roely had the Land_League movement fund contributed to by the aympathizers with the proceedings.

They acknowledge thata great portion of the people of the country are not disposed to run the risk that will attend a rising. anxio as they are to secure salt-government. erefore the lead- ers of the organization have long been turn- ing their eyes in another direction, and have come to the conclusion that the blow mustbe struck at home and at the Eu - lish Parliament.

For the last month no petty sessions have been held at {3ailinmore, but the League court sits regu- ar_y. The three Land Commissioners, in their report; to the Government, recommend the adoption of the “ three F’s," fair rents, free sales and fixity of tenure. They admit the principle of free contract. but intimate that practically such freedom does not exist. They propose that the rent be fixed by two arbitrators, one representing the tenant and the other the land court, with power to summon an umpire, and that the rent is to remain unchanged for 21 years. They would take away the power of evic- tion, except for non-payment of rent. sub- letting, or waste. Occupying tenants are notto be allowed tocontrsot themselves out of the act, .but non-occupying tenants will be allowed to do so except to a certain limitation.

A Bll’ VAN WINKLE RESIDENCE Select the Bfl‘ecu of the Eccentric Scott Sistersâ€"A Strange Pair. MONTREAL, Jan. 8.â€"All the household effects of the late eccentric sisters Scott, who left a large fortune to endow a miss- sorship and scholarship in McGill niver- city, were sold today by auction, and attracted a large and curious crowd. The house. which was situated in the east end of the city, was greatly dilapidated both outside and inside. The interior of the dwelling had been terribly neglected, and was extreme] filthy, owing to the strange habits of the ate occupants, who he t no; servants, male or female, except a c ore-1 man to light fires. Every article of furni- ture, pictures and statuary was covered with the aobumulated dust of years. Every- thing was of (gays long ago, and might be strictly term antique. The elegancies and refinement of the nineteenth century had evidently not entered into that exclu- sive abode. Among the various articles found belonging to these unmarried ladies wasâ€"a collection of men's old hats, and in every room were numerous specimens of the same kind. The styles of these head coverings were as ancient as the furniture. The sale realized only '8150. wh' t the estate of the late owners is above a usrter of a million dollars, a large portion of which goes to public objects, and the bal- ‘ ance to distant relatives. Only a few days 1 ago 31,200 in bank notes were found in an 3 old teapot, and 8300 in an old purse which i had robably been hidden away years ago and orgotten. As a further ‘mark of the ‘ eccentricity of the old ladies, your corres- pondent was informed today by Mr. Romeo Itaphens that they had made a will leaving nearly all their property to the Ladies’ College, an institution for the foundation of which the late Mr. Donald Ross ‘be‘ queathed aconsiderable sum. but on an item appearing in one of the local papers to that effect, they were so' much anno cd i by the publication of their intentions t at they cancelled the bequest and left the Imoney to other objects. Wmsss'rox, Va., Jan. 9.â€"-An a ed negro Hannibal Brown. who lived one. was found dead on Friday night. He had probably frozen to death a week ago. He was brought to this country from Africa in 1820. He affirmed that his father was a lung. His former lraster received convinc- ing proof of his royal birth, and emanci- pated him long before tho war. Hannibal was a blacksmith, made money, invested it in slaves, and was; as far as known, the only ne in the United‘States who was.a slaveho der. From his slaves he required the homage due to his rank. He was de- voted to the cause of the South during the war. as he believed in the right to own slaves. He refused to shoe horses for Federal soldiers. He was a short time dur- ing the latter part of the war impisoned in the old Capitol at Washington, as he was suspected of giving aid and information to Southern soldiers. Everything he had was invested in slaves. The war left him penniless. He has since managed to make ameagre living from blacksmithing. He never married. because he could find no woman of his race who was what he con- sidered his equal by birth. He would not permit colored people to visit him.
