The land question is one that now calls fora great deal of attention in England. The failure of crops and consequent inability to meet their rents, is amusing attention to the fact, that the price set upon land in that country, and in Great Britain generally represents a value that in its present con- ditions is not realizable. The rent obtained by the landed proprietors is but a moderate return on the valuation of the land, and yet it is an amount, to provide which, the tenant Inustsecnre asnecession of good crops. There is no possibility of the later laying by for the proverbial “ rainy day," and the conse- quence is, that the first bad year brings him bthind with his rent. Many of the landlords have recognized the truth of this matter and have lowered their rents or re- mitted a portion, but this is only a temper. sry relief. and the question is now freely asked, whether it is not only desirable, but neccessary, to make some change in the land laws, by which the acquirement of small holdings in fee simple Would he encouraged and the formation of a peasant proprietory similar to that of France and the Nether- lands facilitated. Oueof the great advan- ‘ tones of this system of small est'Ites. owned by the cultivators would consist in its giving a real instead of a fictitious value to the land. The value is at present fictitious be-. cause of the difliculty of procuring real estate In fee simple. Estates are entailed and bound up with deeds and settlements to such an extent that the proprietor in many cases Is a mere nominal owner, a holder in trust for some one else who is to come after him a .small in proportion to the demand for it that it acquires a value out of all proportion to what It will pioduce III cultivation. TheIe ‘Is no doubt that the British farmer will I henceforth be unable to compete with the in“:- wheat groWers of this continent, and wdl consequently, have to turn his attention to other pmducts. One of the advantages of small holdings would he to encourage the cultivation of other crops than wheat, leav- ing the bull. to be imported from this side of the Atlantic, where hind is cheap. [40rd Derby has shown how the old country farmer ‘ is at present handicapped by having to fur- nish a sumptuous living for his landlord, he. sides pI-oViding for his own family, and he admits than it is impossible for the man thus burdened to compete with our farmers in the production of wheat. There are many remedies suggested for the difficulties sur- rounding the ownership and transfer of lands in England. Free trade in land was very ably advocated by the late Joseph Kay, Q. U., in a series of letters written to the Man- ‘I:hester Ermuinrr, republished since his death by his widow. His main attack was directed against the laws of entail, which not only keeps lands out of the Market, but I and hold on the same conditions, and the quantity ofland actually in the market is “ Pro Bono Publlco." MOLADH NA GAILIG. ENGLISH LAND. gum. in many cases prevent improvement. There are other sble writers and speakers who are constantly devoting their attention to the some evnl with a view to its remedy. not the least among them being Mr. Bright and Mr. Gladstone. Others there are who would go still further and advocate a complete remov. sl of the methods of dealing in real estate. not only in the old :country, but throughout the civilized world. These people would make land as free as luggage, and would imo pose no more restriction upon the sale or purchase of a farm that upon that of a horse. So long. however. as real estate is looked upon as a more substantial security than goods and chattels, so long will there be more routine and form required in its trans- fer. Another view of the question is, that of those who think all real estate should be vested in the State, and only acquired on trust by the citizens. These argue, that all increase in value which landed property acquires, independently of the personal labor bestowed upon it, should accrue to the State. This last proposition savors too much of the commune, to be received with much favor. The amendment of the lows of‘ entail and some others relating to the tenure and title of land appears to be the only feasible plan for improving matters, which very much nqed improvement. A letter received ntjhe Interior Depart. went from Dr. '1‘. Womlbridge, agency phy- sician for the Fort Peck‘ agency, gives the following graphic description of the annual “ sun-dance" of the Sioux nation, which took place near the Poplar river in Montana territory about two weeks ago i. " l have just witnessed the great Indian iestival‘ of the ‘ snn-dauee’ or worship of the sun. Great preparations had been made for it and every- thing was on the grandest scale. The city of lodges was moved and the Indiana camp- ‘ ed on a plain inclosing a hollow square large 1 enough for the movements of thousands of horsemen. In the center the great pavilion or medicine lodge was erected, one hundred and fifty feet in diameter. the outside form- cd of small posts of green popular and wil- low thickly interwoven with green branches. Resting on this and on a rude framework within, all around for about tWenty feet the space was covered with buffalo skins. form- ing the “ dress circle" with places assign. ed to the musicians and actors or dancers. In the centre was the great medicine pole, fifty feet high. Only the men occupied the deep circle, where they were feasted during the performance of thnty-eight continuous hours, during which time about forty dogs ‘ were immolated and eaten, besides large i quantities of buffalo meat, wild turnip-heads and hot cauldrons of other eatsbles that are nameless. About five thousand Indians were present. All had on their holiday attire. The dresses of some of the chiefs and those acting as director. or priests were gorgeous. "ET-'0' " When all was prepared, amid the wav- ing of banners, music and the loud shouting of the assembled throng.ovcr fifty braves en. tered. each painted and naked to the waist. Each carried in his band 'an ornamented whistle, made from the bone of an eagles wing which was blown shrilly during the dance. Each also carried a bouquet com. . posed mostly of the wild sage. The first afternoon's performance would have been called wonderful for display of heroism and power to endure and suffer. Many had from fifty to two hundred pieces cut out of the i flesh of their arms and back. The dance was kept up all nightiwith unabated fervor,every performancehavingsomething new and start~ Iing. But in the morning torture reigned supreme, men dancing with two, three and four buffalo heads suspended from holes cut in their flesh. "no Indian dragged on the ground eight buffalo beads fastened to the flesh of his back, and in the stooping posture he was forced to assume they had torn the cuts in his back to the extent of three inches. Others were held by' four different cords, two in the breast and two in the back. fast- ened to four stakes, and still others were fastened to the center pole with ropes which were fastened to the breast and back. Some in addition to being fastened by the flesh of their. breasts, had buffalo howls suspended from the back, and they would be seized by the hanging heads and jerked until one Would think their lives would be forfeited. Others made frantic efforts to break loose, and I often noticed~ the integument to be stretched three or four inches from the body. Some fell faint and exhausted, and with 'wild tbouts, the din of music and wierd songs made of it a perfect Pandemonium. The dancers took neither food, sleep nor water during the festival. Their dancing, their inroeatlobs and their prayers were fervent; They laid their faces on the buf- THE SUN-DANCE.

An exciting race once took place from Doverto London between the Continental mail express train and a carrier pigeon cone veying a document of nn urgent nature for the French police. The rails, carriages and engine of the express train were. as might heexpected, of the best possible construo-, tiog for power and speed. The pigeon, which was bread by Messrs. Hartley .1; Sons of Woclnich, and "horned” when a few weeks old toa building in Cannon street, city, was also of the best breed of homing pigeons, know as “ Belgian voyagenrs.” The bird'was tossed~ through the railway carriage win low, bye French oliicial, as the train moved from the, Admiralty Pier, the wind' being west and the atmosphere hasy, but with the sun shining. For upwards 01a minute the carrier pigeon circled round to an altitude-of about half a mile,'snd then sailed away towards London. By this time the train which carried the European mails and was timed not to stop between Dover and Cannon street, had got up to full speed. and was journeying at the rate of sixty miles an hour towards London. The odds at start- ing seemed against the bird, and the railway ‘ officials, justly proud and confident in the , strength of their iron horse, predicted the little urial messenger would fail; but the race was not to the strong. The carrier pigeon, as soon as it ascertained its bearings took the nearest route in a direction midway between Maidstone and Sittingbcurne, the distanceas the ‘row flies, between Dover and London being seventy miles, and by- rail seventy-six and a half miles. As the Continental Mail EXpress came pulling into Cannon Street Station the pigeon had; been 4 home twenty minutes, having beaten the train by a time representing eighteen 'nilel. Poor Lo !

From the earliest time :3 of our occupation of this continent we learn of him only defending his home.
