EVICTIONS ON LORD LANS DOWNE'S ESTATE.

Extraordinary Seoae.

Further details as to the evictions on Lord Lansdowne's Queen's County property show that during the earlier part of one Tuesday morning small bodies of police were to bo. seen converging on the village of Lugga curren, and by eleven o'clock a force of about 100 men was drawn up in front of the schoolmaster's house, which lias been con verted into a temporary barracks. Captain Slack, divisional magistrate, was chief in command, with Major Lynch, R.N., County Inspector Black, and District Inspectors Warburton, ,'Lyde, and Aldworfch. A pro clamation, signed " Redvers Buller," had been posted up in the neighbourhood two days ago, warning all persons that by as sembling to obstruct the sheriff in the dis charge of his duty they would be taking part in an illegal and criminal assembly. At 11.30 a start was made. A body ot police led tho way, then came a party ot about twenty emergency men carrying axes, crowbars, scaling-ladders, corrugated zmc for protecting attacking parties, and every imaginable implement necessary forcarryuig out the evictions. Another body of police brought up the rear, and as tho procession started, the crowd, which had been gradu ally growing and now numbered some hun dreds, set up a prolonged howl. It soon became evident that the house o. Mr Kilbride, one of the largest tenants in the neighbourhood, who had been looked upon as the leader of tho rest in tin; Plan ot Campaign, was to bo the first object ot attack. He has two holdings both under lease, making together 7('S 'statute acres, rent L 760, valuation Ll'24, and he was offered a reduction of 20 per cent. Ihe by road leading up to his house being ob structed by trees which had been felled across it, tho attacking party made their way across the fields," some delay being caused by crossing a brook. Tho officers in command insisted on the crowd being kept well away from the police, and Father Maker, tho curate' of Luggacurren, was using his influence to keep the people back. As the party advanced they were greeted with defiant cheers from a.number of men occupying the plateau on which the house stands, cheers which were taken up by the crowd in the rear. The house, which is a large building of two stories, containing several excellent rooms, having been reached, the ground around it was cleared by the-police, and tho sheriff knocked at the door. There was no reply, and the crowbar man proceeded to break down the door and effect an entry, which was clone in.tvvo or three minutes, and a brother and sister of the tenant's, who had been stand ing in one of the lower rooms, walked quietly out. Tlio emergency men pro ceeded to bring out the furniture, and While the work was going on, Mr W. O'Brien appeared upon the scene, and was greeted with loud cheers by the people. Some con versation ensued between him and Captain Slack, and, with reference to the proclama tion which had been issued, Mr O'Brien proclaimed the right of the people-to be present, not for the purpose of obstructing the sheriff, but as spectators, and he said he would guarantee that there should be no violation of the law on the part of the people if they were not provoked ; but they could not give up the right of public meeting and free speech. Meantime the work of removing the furniture continued, and aftor some time it was discovered that ono of the upper rooms was closed and occupied by a number of men. The bar was speedily hacked down, but behind it were several iron gates Chained together and supported on the inside by solid beams of wood and a cart deprived of its wheels, forming a powerful barricade. After some ineffectual attempts to break it down, one of the scaling ladders -was put up to the roof and an entry was ef fected through tho slates. Mr Kilbride and three companions wero discovered com posedly smoking their pipes. Tho timbers formino- the barricade were then thrown out of the window, the crowd setting up a howl as each one fell to tho ground, and, finally, Mr Kilbride walked out of the house, when he was greeted. with loud cheers and many congratulations on the stand he had made. A party of constables was left in charge of the house, and at half past one the procession of police and emer gency men was re-formed, the latter being received with loud yells by the. people. While the operations had been going on another large force of police, numbering fully 100, had arrived, and were standing on the road a little below the house, bub their presence was practically unnecessary, the crowd showing no disposition to interfere.

.-More than an hour was then occupied in clearing away the trees that lay across the by road leading from Mr Kilbride's house to the main road. Four successive trees ■were tackled by the emergency men, amid howls from the people, varied by a number of witticisms at the expense of the "crow bar brigade." Finally tho road was cleared, and the evicting party marched back to Luggacurren, apparently satisfied with their' day's work. The object of clearing away the trees was not quite evident, seeing that they might easily have been avoided.

A meeting was then held and addressed by Mr William O'Brien and several others, lay and clerical, all of whom encouraged the people to hold out in their struggle, promis ing them support in their day of trial and a final-victory as their certain reward. The evictions were resumed on Wednes day." About nine families, labourers and sub-tenants of Kilbride, the tenant evicbed on th<_ previous day, were pub out. A strong police force protected the emergency men. Trees were felled to cause obstruc tion, and the furze on the mountain side set on fire. No special case of hardship is reported.

Mark Twain as a Farmer.

, I hate been introduced to you as an ex perienced agriculturist. - (Laughter.) I love the the farm. Adam loved the farm.— (Laughter.)— Noah loved his vineyards. Horace loved the farm, as is shown by that great book,' What I know about Fanning,' —(Laughter) Washington, Webster, and Beecher were allu'-ed by the attractions of agriculture. . Someone said to. Beecher: " Keep your cows out of my shrubbery." " Beep your shrubbery out of my cows," replied Beecher;'" it spoils the milk."— (Laughter.) Hogs are hard animals to drive ■ over a bridge. / (Laughter.) I onoe saw a man carried several miles on the back of a hog that turned back in opposition to the solicitations of the driver on appraoching a bridge. - (Laughtor. I will tell you of a safe way ro get. hoogs over the bridge—kill them and draw them over in a waggon. — (Laughter;) Hogs are fond of spring lambs and spring chickens. Hogs will eat their own offspring if no lambs or chickens are offered in the: market. (Laughter.) When a boy I was solicited to escort a pig to a neighbour's farm. A strong rope tied to the pig's leg was placed in my hand. I dip not know before the •' speed and strength of a pig.— (Laughter.) But they do not run the way you want them to run.—(Renewed laughter.) A pig can draw a canabboat with tho tow-line tied tohisleg, but I would not insure the canal-boat. Hogs are cleanly orderly, silent, and not bent on mischief— (laughter)—when cut up and salted and in a tight barrel, with a. heavyweight on the lid.-(Prolanged- laughter.) This is all I about ho_rs. ~ . ' ■'•■■ •■ v : '■

I love cows.—(Laugh ter.) What so meek and lowly—(laughter)—as a mooloy -cowi? City people are foolish to be frightened at cows., I was nevor'hurt by a cow butouce.

He shook his head at mo from behind a ! strong gate. I felt tho security of posi tion, and shied a pumpkin at him. He came through tho gate as though it were a spider's web, and then I was sorry I did it. — (Laughter.) This kind of cow should not be fooled with nnless you are tired of mono tony.—(Laughter). The poet loves to dwell upon milkmaids, milking time, and lovers sparking over the farm-yard gate ;j but no such poeb could ever have milked a cow ill fly time. - (Laughter). I cannot imagine a successful lovesuit at such a season. I milked the cows one night when the boys were off on a Fourth of July.— (Laughter). That is, 1 milked one and one half cows. —(Laughter). The last one was so busy knotting off llics with her hind foot I thought I had better not disturb her longer. A pail of fresh milk kicked over a boy does nob improve his clothes or temper. Some say I milked from bhe wrong side. — (Greab laughter.) Ithoughb I would be sure and be right, and so I milked half on one side and half on tho other. - (Renewed laughter.) I was on the other side when she knocked off most flies. Can anyone tell me why a cow should be permitted to dictate Which side a man shall milk from? I claim the right of my choice at least half of the time. Sheep are my special delight. How gracefully the lambs gambol ovor the green. I trust you never gamble over the green. (Laughter.) Sonic say a scamp is the black sheep of the (lock, 'but a black sheep is just as respectable as any, and the colour line should not. thus be drawn. - (Laughter.) I once fished on the bluff and casualty dis covered a sheep with largo crooked horns coming at mo head down and lire in her oyos..- The .Hah were nob biting well, sol left my spot", and dodged behind a stump. The sheep fell on tin. rocks below and broke hor neck. For this act I have sinco been accused of non-protection in the wool traffic. This reminds me of a commissioner of agriculture in old times who purchased six hydraulic rams for the improvement of American flocks. - (Prolonged laughter.) Feather beds are made from geese, but all woollon goods anil drums are mado from sheepskins. (Applause.) I take creat pride in the horse. "He is the noblest Roman of them all," (Laughter.) I once led Stephens's horse to water. How proudly he arched his neck and tail. He was so fond of mo ho tried to embrace me with his front feet. Bnb I was so shy he turned about and playfully knocked my hat off with his heels. (Laughter.) . I told Stephens I thought horses looked much better walking on four foet than on two feet. A horse presses hard when your toe is caught under his hoof. I speak not from theory, but from actual experience. (Laughter). I went riding with Stephens's horse, ami he shied and danced provokingly. " Treat him yindly," said Stephens, " never beat a horse." By-and-bye Stephens thought lie would get out and walk for exercise. " You may let him feel the lash a little now,'' said Stephens. " A littlo discipline now will do him good."—(Pro longed laughter.) Here is a composition I wroto when a boy :—" Farming is healthy work : but no man can run a farm and wear his best clothes at the same time. Either the farm ing must cease while the new clothes con tinue, or the new clothes must cease while fanning continues. This shows that farm ing is not so clean work as being a Con gressman or schoolmaster, for thoso men can wear good clothes if they can find money to pay for them.—(Laughter) Far mers gci up early in the morning. They say the early bird catches the worm. If I was a bird, I had rather get up late and eatcherries in place of worms.—(Laughter), .farmers don't paiqt their waggons when they can help it, for they show mud too quick. The colour of their boot, is red, and don't look like other people's boots, because they are twice as big.—(Applause). Farmers' wives have a hard time cook ing for hired men, and tho hired men find fault with the farmers' wives cook ing. Why -don't farmers' wives lot the hired men do the cooking while thoy do the finding fault. (Great applause.) Farmers don't get rich as bank "presidents, bub bhoy get more exercise. (Prolonged laughter.) Some ask " Why don't farmers run for Con gress?" They run so much for keeping boys out of their peach orchards and melon patches they doh't have any time to run after anything else. If Congress should run after farmers, one might be caught now and then. Lawyers can beat farmers at running for most anything. I know a farmer who tried to run a line fenco ac cording to his notion. Tho other man objected and hurt the farmer. Tho farmer hired a lawyer to run his line fence, and now the lawyer runs the farmer's farm, and the farmer has stopped running anything. Speaking of running reminds me of our cal^ that ran away to. the woods. There were not eiiou*_h men in the country to catch that calf- Wo turned bhe old cow loose into the woods, and she caught bhe Calf, proving the old saying that it takes a cow to caben a thief." — (Laughter.)

A Rustic Luerezia Borgia.

A Parts correspondent writes :—A species of rustic Lucresda Borgia, named Bluchet who lived at Brienon, a small town in the department of Yonne, has just been con demned to hard labour for life ou v charge of having poisoned her husband and a lodger in her house. This woman, having ex hibited a weakness for the company of a local barber, was naturally remonstrated with by her husband, an easy-going kind of person. The lodger, an elderly man named Forgest, also ventured to point out to her tho wickedness of her ways, and thenceforward became a mark for her re venge. Bluchet, sitting by the reproaches of the two men, resolved to put them out of bhe way, and, with that object in view, began with her husband, by putting doses Of arscnio in his soup. She treated Fogesb in the same fashion, and after the lapse of a few days, the old man sickened and died. The husband succumbed six days after wards, and as happens very often in French rural districts, even in the present epoch of civilisation, the bodies were buried without inquests being held. The un seemly haste, liowever_wliich. the murderess displayed in endeavouring to induce the barber to marry her immediately after her husband's death, aroused the suspicions of her rural neighbours, who lost no time in communicating with tho local police. The charming Bluchet was bhen arrested, the bodies of her victim, were disinterred, and the murder was out. She had used enough arsenic in the accomplishment of her foul purpose to poison half a dosen men. During the trial she made the most shameful allegations against her victims, and denied her guilt in the most barefaced manner. The jury, in according extenuating circum stances to this • Jezebel, showed their readi ness, like most of their colleagues, both in Paris and in the provinces, to make things easy for criminals, who are growing bolder every day in this country.
