Serfdom in England.

Serfdom is popularly supposed to be ex tinct In England, but it is still extent in various parts of the country. A report from Wiltshire shows that a large propor tion of the farm laborers are practically bound to the farms they work on, because they live in cottages belonging to the farmers. They hava to pay rent, and ♦heir occupation is usually subjact to a fortnight's notice. Leaving a situation is almost almoßt always followed by notice tolflave the cottage, and as cottages are difficult to get, the fear o* being turned into the road shelterless, binds the married servant to the farmer most effectively. It also binds the young unmarried men if the farmer wants them. A threat to dis charge the father, with its certain to follow notice to quit the home, is enough to prevent most young men leaving to " better themselves" In many Wiltshire villages there is not a single free cottage, all belonging to farmers. Under these ciecunißtancea the men can in no way ■become indebendent, and the old slavish fear of their masters still exists in many places. Allotment system is oiosely affected by the cottage question as no sensible man will take a good-aiaed allotment and pub capital and labor into it when he is liable to be turned out of the village at a very short notice. Unless lite position is first made secure, it is use less to try and get him •• back to the land." At a conference of agricultural laborers' unions, tteld in London, the following re solution was unanimously carried:— **That this conference protests against fehe iniquitous system prevailing in so many counties undeif which laborers »r« compelled to live in cottages belong ing to farmers, as being detrimental to freedom, and aa tending to reduce wafces fco a minimum, and calls upon the Go vernment to insert; a clause in the Local Government Bill to the effect that the Irish Acts with reference to laborers' cottages shaU, with the necessary modi fications, apply to England and Wales. Under the Laborers (Ireland) Acts, the guardians have the power of erecting new cottag««, or of acquiring already existing I cottages, and after putting them in good , repair of letting them direct to the! leborers. Mr Michael Bavitt, in answer to inquiries made of him on the subject, writes •—" The result of a partial work in* of this Act in Ireland is to be found in several thousand good and healthy laborers' dwellings* with gardens of half an acre attached, the rent of which seldom exceeds Is a for dwelling and land combined." If the Irish laborer can obtain such great benefits, why not his |jnglieh brother?

BRIGANDS.

A pack horse laden with cartridges and other munitions brought up the rear. Before reaching Oaturoff, one of the in dustrial villages in the Baku petroleum region, the party met four peasants, whom they interrogated as to the dwelling of the richest man in the settlement. The first peasant refused to say, and was immedi ately cut down* A second also declining W&8 stabbed. The other two led the brigands to the house of a benevolent and wealthy compatriot, Hapsjii Hussein, in the village of Kobi. Eadshi Hussein hesitated to state where his money was kept, but a dagger driven through the muscles of his right arm, and left there, induced him to lead the robbers to his safe.

New Version of a Historic Story.

Divers versions are enshrined in the history of ihe circumstances under which old Nathan Mejer Rothschild, founder of the family, obtained the earliest exclusive information of the Battle of Waterloo. One of the favourite stories is that he accompanied Wellington's forces disguised as a sutler, and as soon a& the fortunes of the day were decided, posted off to London and made the best of the markets. One of his grandsons, partner in the London house, tells me (writes Mr H. W. Lucy, in the " Sydney Morning Herald") the true story, which, he adds, has never been published. His. grandfather, who settled in London (whilst his eldei brother Anselm remained at Frankfort, and his second brother Solomon opened a branch of the bank at Vienna), had established relations with the English Government, acting as their agent in buying gold, much needed to carry on the campaign against Napoleon. For the purposes of his busi ness Nathan Meyer had in his pay a swifrsailing lugger, which kept him in correspondence with his brothers and other friends on the Continent. One day in June 1815, the captain of the lugger called upon Rothschild fresh from a trip across the Channel. He had, in quite a casual way, put in his pocket a Dutch newspaper. Looking it over Rothschild found an account of the battle of Water loo, brief, but so unfaltering and evidently authentic, that ke straightway went on 'Change and bought Consols by the bucketful. They were on this particular day beaten down lower than ever, the last news frcm the seat of war not coming ; down later than an account of the affair at Quafcre Bras, represented aa a check to Wellington. When later, the Govern, want received official despatches describ ing Bonaparte's rout, the funds went up by leaps and bounds, and che fortunes of the house of Rothschild were established ojj » princely 60»Ie,

500 Miles of Paper.

The production of the three hundred thousand issues of the "Dundee Weekly Sews" Christmas number has just beei completed on the Pioneer Quadruple Press, now running In the printing works of that paper; the printing, cutting, folding, and counting of both the creamy white paper and the dainty blue cover being effected all at once. The sight of the two streams of poper, one white and one blue, flowing one from each end, and meeting in the middle of the machine rushing down the triangular incline called the *• former," like a miniature Niagara, and last of all, delivered by the fliers in finished 20 page papers, cover and all, is one never to be forgotten. To thoroughly comprehend what the printing of an issue like this means, readers Bhould separate the leaves of the Christmas Number and lay them edge to edge on the floor. It ■will be found that a space 10ft 6in long and 18in wide is covered by one copy. t The 300,000 copies, therefore, if laid end to end would extend over 3,000,000 feet, or over 500 miles, and cover a superficial area of over 100 acres.

Good Seamanship.

One of the most remarkable escapes on record of an. entire ship's crew from a watery grave in mid-ocean is chronicled in mail advices from the Orient. The steamer Swordsman, bound for Mauritius, and the steamer Gelderland, on her way to Aden, came into collision just below the Equator. The Swordsman sank, but the Gelderland managed to reach Colombo after an experience probably unparalleled in the history of navigation. The story can hardly be appreciated without illustrations showing the Gelderland's condition after the disaster, and when she reached port. Imagine a big ship of 2000 tons with her stem torn clean away, with her starboard bow plates completely stove in, and with the enormous hole stopped with planking held in position by bags of rice banked against it. On the porb side the bowplates were displaced, for in the collision the nose of the steamer was borne right round and bent completely out of its proper position. To keep these plates from escaping great iron chains had to be passed out through the port aide and carried around the nose of the steamer and back again through openings on the starboard side, as one would bind up with ropes the loose staves of a broken barrel, bearing this condition of affairs in mind, the reader can understand what a terrible time the ship's crew must have gone through, and wh»t great tactical skill must have been displayed ty her com mander, Captain Sedboer, in getting her and the bulk of the cargo safely to port. The captain states that in the emergency her bulkhead arrangements did not fail to serve the purpose for which they were intended, but they alone were far from sufficient. To stop up the hole, cargo was taken out of the forehold and piled against the planking that had been placed against the remaining plates, but two or three times this and the temporary stay were completely washed away. When at length a stop-gap had been effected the voyage could only be undertaken with the greatest caution, and the dexterity of the officers was severely tested in so en countering the waves that they bhould not injure the patched up part. Bough weither was rwic^ met with in the voyage of 3200 miles, which occupied thirteen dsys, and for safety the ship had to be put brnadoide on to some seas, and nearly stern first to others. 'J he Gelderknd w*B owned by the RotCerdamsch Lloyd, and the Swordsman carried every soul on board to the bottom with her.

Rule, Aahburton :—The falter consists of a cylin drical vessel of fine grained limestone, fitted into an outer cylinder of glazed f-toneware, the latter serving to collect and retain the filtered water. The idea of using a porus stone in this particular form is a very good one, giving the perfection of mechanical filtering together with grbat facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as a filter for separating every variety of mechanically suspended matter was tho roughly tested with the most satisfactory results, decent investigations on the subject of filtering have shown that it is much morß effective than was formerly supposed, even whe.i soluble organic master passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease.
