The Pan-Presbyterian council , now in
ecision at Belfast , is a very important
gathering , as its tendency will bo to
bring into close communion the various
branches of the principles enunciated by
Calvin and Knox. Scattered ns thono
denominations are they are weak in them
selves ; but united they would form a
strong organization. If , therefore , the
Pan-Presbyterian council shall succeed
in gathering within ono flock the differ
ent Presbyterian bodies it will certainly
accomplish a work that will ro <
suit in great good. The Protestant
forces have Always boon too much
scattered , while the Roman Catholic
church has maintained its organization .
undivided for hundreds of years nnd ' has'
presented a solid front , ever increasing
in numbers , wealth , and power. In it *
unity of organization it presents an example -
ample to the Protestants. It is evident
that the Presbyterian ] nt least , nro beginning -
ning to realize the importance of unity of
organization , and wo should not bo sur-
prised to BOO at no distant day , ono grand
body of Presbyterians , with no dividing
linoB on technical points of boliof. Sta
tistics , presented nt the lost Pan-Prcsby-
torian council in Philadelphia , in 1880 ,
show there were nt that fimo 1,555,472
Preabytorinns in America , 1,208,550 in
Europe ; 99,473 in Asia ; 55,200 in Africafl
and other parts of the world , making n
total of 2,578,707. Olhor divided Prot
estant churches would do well to follow
the example of tno Presbyterians in mak-
ing a beginning at last towards harmony
and uniting all the branches in ono or
ganization.
OUlt PUBLIC DOMAIN.
There has recently boon issued from the
government printing odico n otatistical
work entitled " The Publio Domain , "
which has boon compiled by Mr. Thos.
Donaldson. From this official work wo
learn that the total area of the United
States , including Alaska , is 2,205,013,841
acres of land. The lands to which the
United States has hold title embraced
1,849,072,587 acres. Under the various
laws and grants there have boon disposed
of 020,000,000 acres , up to Juno 30 ,
1883. To fill the grants to railroads
109,000,000 moro acres will probably bo
required , and 80,000,000 moro for private -
vato land claims. The government has
yet 041,281,270 acres , not including
Alaska. The public domain has cost the
government $351,981,100 , which includes
purchase money under various treaties ,
and for quieting Indian titles , expenses
of surveys , lard offices , itc. , making the
cost per aero 19 cento. The government
has realized $225,552,075 from the sale
of public lands , which is $120,428,485
less than the cost.
Out of the Gll.COO.OOO acres remain
ing , it is estimated that thorn are 5,000.-
000 acres in the west that are adapted to
agricultural purposes , The desert lands
compose 440,000,000 acres , and the tim
ber , coal , mineral and irrigable lands
make up the balance. The quantity loft of
trifle , and at no distant day they will all
bo occupied. .Mr. Donaldson vary di
properly suggests that they should bo retained fei
tic
tained for individual homes , and not bo
pr
disposed of in the wholesale manner that th
has reduced all the available lands to '
snch a small area. Ho recommends that kii
no settler hereafter bo allowed moro than
8C
100 acres , that the pre-emption laws bo W
repealed , andthatall other laws bo simpli of
fied. As to the homestead law ho bug- th
gcsts that it should bo so ninondod as to IV
811
require a five years actual occupation , an
before absolute title can bo acquired , but ar
providing that possession bo given at the
end of two years by the payment of $1,20 th
th
per acre. Those figures show how rap nn
idly the government has closed out ita bi
biv
real estate , the larger part of which has
boon donated to railroads , nud glvon to oi
speculators for a moro song under the hflFi
bungling land laws , which have niado it Fiwi
posssiblo for ono person to acquire 1,200 wi
acres. It is to bo hoped that the rest of nc
our agricultural lands will bo moro care tob
fully guarded , and that actual Bottlers ot
alone bo allowed the benefit of thorn. tli

OTHER LANDS'fatAN OURS.
Tha ofllciarannouncomont of Uio AnglO'
Fronohagroomont with regard to the future of
Egypt has boon made public , England
undertakes to withdraw her troops from
Egypt at the beginning of 1888 in case
the powers shall consider such withdrawQ
al possible withcut endangering public Ul
order. Franco is to have the right of T
vote in the bureau of the Egyptian troas- '
nry and Enghnd is bound to continuo
after evacuation bor efforts for the col
lection of the Egyptian rovouuo and ap
plication thereof to the publlodobt. Eng a
land also undertakes during her occupa
tion to propound schemes to the porto A
and the powers for the neutralization of
Egypt , like Belgium , and for the noutnv
lization of the Suez Canal. Mr. Ulad <
atone , in making the announcement of
this understanding in parliament reminded <
minded the homo of commons that the aa
conference of the powers was to moot on
Saturday , and that Its province would bo al
to decide with regard to Egyptian
finances , but that no decision would beef
of any force without the assent of par
liament.
When this outcome of the conference
was presented by Gladstone to the house
commons there was much satisfaction
expressed by his political friends and
very docliod dissent by his oppontmt.
While there is nothing final in thii un
dorstandlng which at boat is for only an
agreement betrvoonthoBrHiau , and French
cibinola , tbo refusal of parliament to
sanction the'eohomo will , it is bolev ! <
ed , bo followed by an immediate rcslgua
tion of ( ho ministry ,
A motion to answer the government
was cfierfd l-y Sir SijffordN.rthcat ; , and
the vote uakod for this motion is the fol
lowing resolution :
"That the agreement proposed botwcon
England and Franco would not establish
Rood government and tr nqulllly in
Egypt , nor justify England in assuming
a loan to Egypt or in guaranteeing the
Egyptian debt. " Arthur Arnold , liberal
gave notice that ho would offer tbo fol
lowinp- amendment : "That parliament
withholds its expression of opinion re
garding negotiations with Franco until
it 'knows what proposals on Egyptian
finance are to bo submitted to the con
foronco. " ,

The recent elections in Bovor.il English
counties do not change the relative
strength of the two parties in the house
of commons. The liberal column in Lin *
colnshireshiro remains unbroken j while the I
conservatives ( in Surrey and Hants have
retained the scats which were theirs bo *
fore the vacancies. The chief signifi
cance of the two latter elections lies in
the considerably increased conservative
majorities , and in the fact that the hopoa
of the liberals that they might make
gains induced thorn to put forward candi
dates. The only gain made in recant
week has boon that of the Parnollltos at
.
Athlono , when Sir John Ennia , a staunch
anti-nationalist , was replaced by the
younger ' McCarthy. Mr. Gladstone can
still command , on ordinary party issues ,
a majority of ever a hundred in the com.
mons , but on foreign policy this majority
rapidly dwindles away to a dangerously
narrow margin. On the whole there is a
.
fairer outlook ahead for the conservatives
than for the liberals. The most discour
aging fact for the opposition is the discord
which continues to bo apparent between
ita * loading spirits.
The Earl of Roaoborry is the ablest and
most promising of the younger liberal
statesmen in the house of lords. Ho is a
man of advanced views , broad intelli
gence and fine debating powers. His
speech on "promoting the efilcionoy" of
the upper house made a deep Impression
on both sides of the chamber. Lord
Rosobcry probably BOOS the near approach
of a determined movement on the part of
radicals either to reform or to abolish the
hereditary branch of parliament. Ho
therefore wisely suggests the anticipation
of such an agitation by tho'nccornpllsh-
mont of such a change in the constitution
of the house as will bring it into unison
with the desire nnd fooling of the Eng
lish pooplo. Ho has the courage to not
the United States sonata boforohis broth
er peers as an example and docs not hesitate -
tate to advise that eminent men of
acionco , literature , commerce , and oven
of the laboring class , should bo admitted
to a share in its deliberations. It is.truo
that Lord Rosotnrry'a motion for a select
committeojivas rejected , but it was so
well received , even by the tory chief ,
that wo may look for n further movement
may bo looked for in the direction point
ed out by the talented young Scotch oarl.

The death of Alexander , Prince of Or-
nnsjo , heir-apparent to the Netherlands , 'oln
last week , precipitates one of the vexed
issues of European politics , and adds ono
moro to the timely deaths which have
paved the way for Prince Bismarck.
William III , the present sovorign , now
07 years old , is the last of the direct
male line of the Houao of Nassau. Ho
has a daughter , nearly four yearaold , the
fruit of his second marriage , but her suc
cession will need the recognition of the
States General and promises a long mi
nority. There would , probably , bo no
difliculty in securing this , for the ono
ear of the little kingdom ia its absorp
tion by the Gorman Empiro. Its tir
provinces formed a constituent part of
the Holy Roman Empire ; the reigning pa
family is united by the marriage of the boni
king's aunt to Prince Albert , of Prussia ,
whoso infidelities recently led to a sorioas niKi
scandal ; and , most serious of all , Duke
William Augustus , of Nassau , the head
the junior branch of the family ,
the next male heir , lives at Berlin , n
pensioner on the empire. His nccos-1 at
sion to the throne would bo the practical ,
annexation of Holland to Germany' '
and would bo followed In duo aaason
bj IU absorption. With the death of
the Prince of Oraugo the succession to
the throne becomes a matter of doubt
nnd speculation , as on ono fide tlio sturdy
burghers of Holland are known to bo
averse to petticoat rule as TV oil as to for a
eign , supervision , while on the other
hand , ever since the termination of the
Franco-Prussian war it has been Bio
marck'a doairo to add the Netherlands ,
with its rich oolonios , its respectable navy
nnd ita magnificent scnconst nnd harbors ,
the Gorman Empire , In fact , it has
boon ( hinted in many quarters that the
chancellor doca not intend to lay down
the direction of nflalra until ho has
crowned his brilliant career by the an
nexation of this Dutch jewel to the Gor
man diadem.
There is a littla cloud on tlio horizon
Spanish foreign ullklrs , winch diverts
the attention of parties , factions , leaders
and intriguers , from the scenes and
memories of parliamentary contests and
excitements , and scorns to presage an
outburst | of patriotic fooling which may
unite nil shades of political opinion.
The wounds inllictcd fast year on the
honor of Spain by the insolence of the
P.trisnn tnobi , on occasion of Alfonso's
visit to the French capital , have scarcely
been healed by the placating action of
the President ; of the Republic , when
now provocation from Doyond
the Pyronnues threatens to cauno
general recrudescence of an anti-French
sentiment. That Franco is anxious to
extend her Algerian possessions west at
ward , across the Morocoau border , as
she lately extended thorn oattward by
the virtual annexation of Tunis , has
never boon a aocrot. This aoslro of
Franco is aa ofTonalvo to the Spaniards at
the aggression upon Tunla haa boon to
the Italians , But the clashing of nation
interests and rivalries over the inher
itance of the decaying Moroccan empire
was , nahort while ago , hardly doomed im
minent , and , In fact , the firat direct provo
cation waa expected to coma from Spanish
rather than French encroachments upon
the rights and territories of the Moorish
sultan. Franco , however , humbled and
hoiumod in Europe by a fee she ois not
yet dare to challenge anew , is now actu
ated by an irreatlblo doairo of expansion A.
and conquest on other continents , Not
satisfied with "glorious" nchiovomenta
and other gains In Tunis , Madagascar , 011
the Congo , in Anam and Tonqoln , and
unmindful of the alienating in
fluences which her. ambitious
African schemes have already ox
excised upon two friendly and
kindred nation * , Italy and Snain , driving
thorn into the not of lllsmarck'u coalition ,
she has almost opouly turned her diplo
matic engines , apparently precursors of ui
iuihUMj' iutmvutiji ) , iu Iho dlusoiu ; cf
Morocco , profiting by the present embar
rassments of England , whoso opposition
to a further extension of French power
and influence in northern Africa might
otherwise ba dreaded.
All Spain is alarmed and excited in
conscquonco. The general belief is that
the present object of French ambition is
the acquisition of territory adjoining
both'tho northern and central portions of
Algeria ,
As might have been expected after the
liberal victory of the Norwegian Stor
thing , in procuring during the past season
the conviction of the impeached minis
try , the substituted ministry has entirely
broken , down. The king , with some
show of obstinacy , appointed none but
conservatives ministers to succeed the
victims of liberal progress. Ho is now
apparently convinced of his mistnko , and
is communicating with Sverdrup , the great
loader of the liberals. It is probable that
n liberal ministry will bo named , nnd that
once moro a measure will bo Introduced
in the storthing giving the ministers Boats
in that body. This , if approved , will lay
the fcm foundation of a responsible gov
ernment. Nor is it likely that it will
fail of approval , for Norway is in no tem
per to have the king again thwart the oft
repeated expression of ita popular will.
The nation is probably not yet rlpo for
anything like a republic , and , oven if it
wore , its northern inhabitants are too
widely separated in their fiord homos to
combine in any attempt to establish ono.
Their leaders , however , do not desire to
secure a responsible ministry , and have
had no difficulty in using constitutional
methods to force their wish before the
king. Ho must now grant it or sco
every peaceful interest of the people sac
rificed to further parliamentary rovoU.
The liberals have a strong majority in
both branches of the popular assembly ,
and outside of Christiana , where the
king is personally a favorite , the deter
mination of the people to adhere to liber-
al'principlcs is invincible.
The projected railway across the great
western bond of the Nile , by which it is
proposed to facilitate England's autumn
campaign for the relief of Gen. Gordon ,
has unexpectedly revived ono of the nu
merous pro joe ( a onvolvod by the late
Khedive , Ismail Pasha , in his eagerness
to draw down Into Egypt the entire com
merce of the Soudan. His railway , like
that now projected was to run southward
from Wady Halfah ( a littla above Koros-
ko ) to Hannock , in the inner hollow of
the river bond. Fifty miles of the track
the remains of which may still bo seen ,
were laid down nc ar Wady Halfah , at a
cost of § 2,500,000. Gen. Gordon , whom
the khedive consulted on the subject ,
suggested completing the communication
partly by rail , partly by tram earn , and
partly by small steamers of light draught.
But the plan was suddenly abandoned ,
like many moro of Ismail Pasha's
schemes , and the Borbor-Suakin fouto
may perhaps attain completion first after
tor all.

Having failed > to obtain satisfaction
from any of the European powers , the
porto ! seams to have taken matters into
its owa hands. It is reported that the
sultan has 15,000 men ready to send to
Upper Egypt , and that they will bo used
no an army of observation. The asser
tion is made thattho sultan's sudden resolution
elution was caused by the reception of
news < to the effect that the Mahdi's
movement was spreading into Hodjaz.
For a long timo.it has boon rumored that
the falsa prophet intended _ making his
way into Arabia , ana that his dreams of
conquest and empire were not confined
tc the soudan. This may have something
tcm do with the Porto's action , but it is
much moro likely that ! the' sultan wishes
taEi have lib troops in Egypt to hold
English control iu chock as far as possi
ble.
THE democrats are bound to boat this
timo. They are making extensive pro- .
paratlons for a bolt thut will lay the

Now that Tom Rilpy has taken "a

Malarial Poison.
HOME , Ga. , May 23 , 1883.
With the hope that it will roach the eye of
other sufferers , I doairo to make a statement
of my case and my wonderful rescue from
death from malarial blood poison by the use of
the grout S. S. S. ( Swift's Specific. )
In 1880 I cams from the North to take
chnrgo of the gas works iu Homo , ns superin
tendent , and after the overflow , which oc
curred in the spring following. I was very
in exposed to malarial poison , and in 18S2
fo iny blood so contaminated with the
poison that I waa forced to give up business.
I was treated by the Homo physicians without
relief , they advising mo to go North , which I
did. The doctors North told mo that my
only hope wai to return to the milder climate ,
and accordingly I came back to Home , com
pletely broken down and nearly a skeleton.
My trouble finally determined in an abscess
of the liver , and nearly every one , ( myself
included ) thought I was doomed to die within
a few days. In this condition I was advised
by a friend to taka Swift'n Specific , and I
took It just as a drowning man wonld catch
at a straw , but as soon as my system got
under the influence of the remedy , the abscess
cauio to a point and burst , passing off without
pain. In fifteen days after this I was up
at my work , and have since enjoyed excellent
health.
Every sufferer from malarial poison should
take Swift's Specific. 0. G. SPINCKB ,
