Mr. Field, through his connection with the Manhattan Railroad Company, ia known to every employee on the four roads especially the gatemen. The lat ter 'all adnrre him from a distance; bt when he happens to pass through their station it is a different maker, and a hf artfelt sigh of relief goes out when he boards a train and leaves the platform. This anxiety on their pirt is due solely to his bitter hostility to tobacco smoke. The rules of thecompany insist that no smoking shall be federated on the plat form, and he is credited with seeing that it is enforced as much as possible. I witnes ed a most amusing incident one day recently, in which Mr. Field played a prominent part. He cams un expectedly on a downtown station at a time when four or fiive gentlemen -ere , enjoying tto fragrance of good cigars. Mr. Field actually glared at them; then, turning to the unlucky gate man. he poured on his head all the wrath at his command. Pointing out one individual who a t smoking a cigarette, Mr.Field di rected the gateman to have it stopped, and in the meat time the millionaire promised to stand guard over the box. The gate man promptly responded, but bearing in mind the rule whivh aid no violence, should be used, he simply requested the gentleman to throw his cigarette away. The latter declined, and Mr. Field on hearing it went to the attaek himself. At first he requested, then demanded, that the smoking should step. The cig arette fiend, however, merely smiled, and puffed the harder. The other smokers recognized Mr. Field, and also sent out den&e volumes of smoke. Finally the objector got disgusted, and jump ng into a train which just then came into the station he took his departure and specu lated on human wickedne s until he reached the end of his journey. The most gratified individual of the parties to the comedy was the gateman. "Now he sees, w he muttered under his breath, "that it is not so easy to enforce the ruled. " New York btar.

His wife had occasion to be al sent from home one day, and she told the servant to boil a lolasler for my friend's dinner. She left a note telling her lmaband of the treat she had pro vided for him and requestiug him not t wait dinner for her. He was quite hungry when here.' chd home, and after reading the not?, said to the servant: "I that lobster ready?" " Indade it iat, sor, " said the girl. "Well, hurry up v itii it.

HE life of apreventive officer is not always one of pleasurable ex citement, as the fol lowing story, obtained from an officer of" the Dominion preventive force, will testify: Ours is not always a bed ol roses began the officer in question, in re lating his story and any one who joins the force under the impression that it is will be sorely disappointed before he has put in six months' service, especially along the coast of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. I I had a rather exciting experience of it a little time since with a notorious gang of smugglers on the east coast oi Novia Scotia. I had been made aware ot the fact that a small schooner of about sixty tons had left for the French island of St. Pierre Mignelon, one of those French isl ands lying off 'the south coast of Newfoundland, a noted rendezvous. for smugglers, and knowing the character of the captain and crew, there was little room left for doubt ing that they meant business, and would return with a good supply of French wines and liquors to smug gle in alonsr the coast. I was also pretty well satisfied of the point at which they would attempt to affect a ; landinir, and accordingly lay wait- j ing the arrival of the suspected craft, j I knew I had a pretty good job cut ' out for me, but determined to go in- to it single handed. I had lain in ambush about twenty-four hours, i when at midnight 1 heard a boat 1 pulling toward the shore lrom a ves- ; sel which soon came in sight and j dropped anchor about one hundred i yards from the wharf, under the cov- i er of which 1 concealed myself. The j boat's crew, four in number, landed, j and after satisfying themselves that the coast was clear, and leaving one j of their number on shore to recon- ! noiter, returned to the vessel to j commence landing their contraband I cp.rgo. j The time had now arrived for me to commence operations, which I must admit, in view of the great odds against me, I did not do with out some doubt as to my personal safetv. I was well armed, however, j and had been in some pretty tougrh places before, and did not feel dis posed to show the white feather just nw, probably stimulated to the ef fort by the knowledge that the prize before me would be a valuable one if ? I secured it. As I left my hiding place to take a boat I had observed tied to a stake on the shore about 100 feet from me, with a view to reaching the craft be- j fore any portion of the cararo could j possibly be landed, I noticed a burly looking sailor approach and get in- ;o her and start for the schooner. I nailed mm and assed mm to take me off to the vessel. Tothishepaid pulled for the shore to renew their no attention until I drew my revol- attack in another way. Immediate ver, under the cover of which he re- ly on landing they arrayed them turned and took me in. 1 saw that, selves along in line, and commenced if possible, he would upset the boat a fusilade o f rocks upon "the vessel, and dump me into the Atlantic, which I determined, if possible, to prevent. He began to pull for the vessel, and laving all his strength on one of t he oars, succeeded, as he had at first intended, in breakipg it. I seized the other, and at the same time dealt him a blow which laid him flat in the bottom of the boat, and then paddled for all I was worth for the schooner. It being dark the crew supposed I was one of their own gang who had been left on shore, and did nort op pose mv boarding: the vessel. When they saw the trap they had fallen in- to, however, there was a general up- roar, and had it not been for the in- terference of the captain I would cer- tainly have been thrown overboard, I looked about the vessel and found that preparations bad al- j ready been made to land the cargo before daylicrht. The boat had been loaded down to the gunwale and was about to start .or shore when Is top ped oh deck. "Well," asked the captain, "what do yon propose doing:?" 1 informed him that the vessel was escape oy tne Poat which lay along now under seizure, and that nothing side, and pull along the shore, to should be landed until I had received . the nearest settlement without their my instructions lrom Ottawa. ' i discovering I had left the vessel for ' Here I was, alone on board a pi ratical vessel, with six about as tough looking cut throats as one will meet within a day's journey through the slums of any large city, and twenty miles from the nearest point from which I could hope to ob tain any assistance, as I was right in the heart of one of the worst smuggling districts on the Atlantic const. "Well," said the captain, "as the schooner is now in your possession, I suppose you will have no objection to our pulling her into the wharf and making her easy?" To which I as sented. The casks and cases which had been stowed in the boat were again placed on deck, and a line was run to the shore by which the vessel -, was warped alongside the wharf and made fast. The captain . and crew then jumped ashore and left me in full possession without saying a word. They had not been gone twenty minutes when it suddenly dawned upon me that the captain had not taken the seizure ot his vessel so quietly for nothing. There was something up, and if an attempt was to be made to recapture the craft alongside the wharf 'was not the place for me to attempt to defend my prize. I accordingly cut the stern and bow lines by which she was held, and allowed her to drop off into the stream. When about fifty yards from the shore I let go the anchor, and awaited developments. By this time it was daylight and ; looking toward the shore I saw a : gang of about a dozen men, one, ' of whom carried a shotgun, coming j down towards the warf, where they j had expected to board her without any any difficulty. I had forgotten to mention that when I first stepped j on the vessel's deck 1 had shown my badge, and at the s:me time my r j volver which 1 said I would use upon the first man who attempted to dis j turb the cargo or laid a hand upon i me. It was quite evident that there were no firearms aboard the vessel ' at the time, or matters might not have gone as smoothly with me. The only way the vessel could be boarded was from a boat, and this gave me an opportunity of holding the fort, which I would not have had had the schooner been tied up alongside o the warf. When the smugglers and their pals had reached the wharf they sat up a shout, ' calling upon me to come ashore in the boat which lay along side the vessel, to which I, of course, paid no attention, rne ooat m . which I had made my trip to the 8ilinnnpr la v on tho shnrp n.nH in . lew minutes I saw that an attempt was going to be made to board the vessel in the stream. The boat was boarded and shoved off toward the schooner, l stood ov to prevent a landing on the deck beiug effected, and as the first man placed his hands on the rails to jump on board I drew my revolver and cocked it in his face, threatening to shoot if he did not drop back into his boat. Looking up suddenly I saw a cut throat looking ruffian drawing a bead on me with a shotgun from the stern of the boat, while a dozen pirates called to him to shoot, and I think the command would have been carried out had not one of the crew knocked the gun out of his hand in to the water, remarking at the same time that "we will all be hanged if you shoot him." I can tell you I felt a little easier when 1 saw that gun drop overboard. But there 1 was, one against twelve, and I did not know how many more recruits would arrive when word of t he seizure reached along the hostile shore. I had now been thirty-six hours without sleep, and only a cracker or two to eat, which I had fortunately put away in my pocket. I could not leave the side ol the ves sel for one moment, and I did not know how long that state of things would last. The nearest point lrom where I could get assistance was twenty miles distant. To attempt to hold the vessel against such odds with no prospect or help reaching me was ridiculous, as I must give in in the end, so I determined to make the best escape I could. The boat's crew, seeing tha't I meant business, and that any one who attempted to board the vessel took his life in his own hands, alter nanging arounu ior an nour or so, smashing skylight and everything breakable about the deck. I dare not letwe the deck for fear that a second attempt at boarding would be made, and to protect myself from the torrent of stones which were fly ing about my head I . was oblisred to take up a position behind one of the masts, against which I had to stand in an upright position for over an hour, as by this time re-enforcement had arrived, and I can assure you they made it pretty lively tor me for awhile. After a time, tired bevond endurance, I manasred to get bold of the malnpeak halyards and raise the gaff of the mainsail a few feet above the deck, which gave me a first rate shelter from the shower of rocka which was still falling upon the deck i on all side's. I now began to think of what was best to le done. If I surrendered now the chances were that I would not get away alive or at any rate would receive a rough handling. I must manage to escape unknown to the crowd on shore, and this could only be done alter nightfall. It I some timf, x would have a chanca o getting, assistance and-be able tc return and secure the schooner, pos sibly before they had time to unload her, and certainly before they could get away from the port. Upon thh 1 decided, and laid my plans accord ingly. In the first place, I must cripple the vessel as far as possible, to pre vent her being taken away immedi ately. I lound a monkey wrench in the cabin, and set to work to detach her .steering gear. , I managed to get the wheel off, which I threw over board, and dislocated the rest of the apparatus, so as to render it com pletely 1 unserviceable for a little wnne ax, least, ritner tne sirengin 1 , 1 1 T!il 1 .

The land question in its various phases promises to become the leading issue in politics in otuer countries, at well as in Ireland, at no distant day. The conuectiou between land distribu tion and prosperity is strikingly shown iu the case of England and France. In the former the laws or primogeniture aud entale combine to continue a laud ed class who monopolize the soil; iu the latter estates are divided equally among the children, thus tending to small holdings and peasaut proprietorship. As a result, chiefly, of these systems we tiud in England vast estates on which their owners live in princely manner surrounded by everything conducive to pleasure and dig ni tied ease, while thou sands and hundreds of thousands of acres are devoted to parks and hunting grounds, from which tillers of the soil have gradualy been driveu to swell the increasing number of the landless, with the result, according to John Morley's estimate, that forty-live per cent of the inhabitants of England who reach the age ot bixty years become paupers. In Fiance, on the contrary, where a differ ent system prevails, the savings of the peasants' constitute the wealth of the nation, as strikingly shown in the un parallelled rapidity of France's recovery lrom the Franco-Prussian war. in Scoilaud the same process of mono polizing the land is going on as iu Eug iaud, and the gift of priucely domains to railroads aud the purchases of syndi cates in the United States tend in the same direction. One syndicate of northern capitalists owns a tract of land in southwestern Louisiana, 101 miles iu length aud 25 miles in breadth or 1,500,000 acres of land, while nearly IU,000,OUC acres of the public domaiu were disposed of last year to settlers, corporations aud syndicates. In America, however, there is likely to In) land enough for all for many years to come. The thing to guard again t is the monopolizing of the laud by syndicates aud corporations and tbe formation of vast private estates of land and on this subject the American pe'oj pie cannot exercise too great caution. Notwithstanding Mahhunian bogies, there has always lieen land enough in the world to support its population, and there is little doubt but there always will be enough if a proper jstem of land ownership and land tilling is adopt ed.

In the latter country alien landlordism conspires with the land monopolizing English teudeiicy to pro duce a state uf all airs that can 'eventual ly have but one result the withdrawal of English landlords and and the occu pation of the soil by Irishman as their natural birthdght. In no other coun try of the world is the ahuw of the principle of land monopoly no fully ex hibited as in Ireland. Ihe county of Mayo, for example, in the northwestern part of the province of Cou naught, has au area of 177,933 acres, wilh a soil well adapted to pasturage and funning, while its land locked harbors and bays offer every facility for commerce,1 yet under the system which Ireland ha.i almost literally starved tor centuries tho people are to day in a stale of ahjt-ci poverty. , In Oonnemaia Lord Siigo has an estate of 40,000 acres, purcha. d at much less than its value, while Mr. Mitchell Henry, at Kyhmore, has an other vast estate of 17,000 acres, pur chased at 1 per acre, on which ho has erected a baronial granite castle auI rents the reclaimed laud at twenty shil lings an acre. These are but single instances, and hundreds of others uiiuht be given in Ireland, Scotlaud aud England, aud ul'An A murinn a! IKa WAIF in t K people ' are being robbed of their in heritance. But the day of the laud grabber is drawing to a cloc. The size of these mortgages on future gene rations will before long le reduce I in amount and determined by law. Laud monopoly is the worst of all monopo lies in thickly settled countries. Ameri ca should provide iu time suitable leg islation on the subject. Ireland, unfor tunately, has no remedy for her wrongs but constitutional redress or revolu tion. Whether England will force her to choose the latter remains to be seen. Tincture of camphor or- tincture of myrrh, added in the proportion of ten or twelve drops to a glass of water, is good for rinsing the mouth mornings. Meeting of Pawnee Co. Alliance.
