It ia a Uquil chemical com? pound, to be used in sprinkling, and ls said to unite with and solidify the dust, adding greatly to thc durability of all pavements, and especially those of wood. If the advantages claimed for this invention are realized, ii will be or immense value. The process of street-cleaning by the broom, at present, gradually removes the sand from between the blocks or boulders of the pave? ments, and they ore consequently loosened or displaced. Instead or this, thc new compound, lt is claimed, forms a concrete surface, keeping down dust as effectuaUy as ordinary sprinkling, and maintains the roadway in good order. The compound ls applied once a day. -The mysterious disappearance cf many per? sons who have business on thc Mississippi River ls at length explained.

Mr. Lester re? ceived $110 for his wood, and the flat was float? ing back when a skid put off from the shore, manned by two men, who boarded thc flat, and demanded Mr. Lester's money. They said that they were,river pirates, ?ind would shoot him if he did not comply with their demands-. Mr. Les? ter, who is an old man, quietly gave them all the money he hud, and thanked them for spar? ing his life, but as soon as one of them had re? turned to the skiff he drew lils pistol and shot the olucr, who was just stepping over, through the heart; he then shot the one who was in the skiff through < he Illus, aud navigated both boats to his yard. Burr.*, the survivor, said that his .companion's name was Moore, and that they were members of an organized gang or river pirates that has tvien watching thc river between Memphis and Cairo tor several years, and robbing whenever they had a chance. Burns conresses that he h JJ shot and thrown overboard Tour men Hom wood-yards, who resisted his de jnands. -Chang and Eng have no* lived in vain. Among the latest novelties introduced In London as a social amusement is thor "Siamese link." lt is described as follows : "It can bc attached with? out troubL', according to directions, to a la ly and gentleman, and without nuttlSl consent t?u-y cannot be na; ' I, ai ??Ml with considera? ble difficult it .? ic- great amusement und merriment at paroo< and in families." In some respects, this new bond I etween he sexes ?ezai* to be an improvement upott+ho old and rapidly wearing out one commonly known os the mar? riage tie. Like thc former, the L.iter ls prod.ic tlvc, In the first instance, of "great amusement and merriment" in the particular family inter? ested for the time being. The "Siamese link,'' however, is stated not to be removable without "considerable difficulty"-a qualification which certainly gives lt superiority over the oilier one as a boucl. Thc necessity of''mutual consc it," too, as a condition toseparation.is au advantage ou the side of the "Siamese link." Dissolution of the mar? riage tie may, in many places, be obtained without "mutual consent." In this country, as elsewhere, the matter is very orien managed :>y the husband knocking lils wife on the head, or thc wife Infus? ing Strichnine in her husband's bohea. There is HO "mutual consent" herc. The new Link holds out the advantage that, by "mutual consent," separation may be amicably accomplished, while it is clear that uo elopement of either one party or the other thus bound could take place unless under the same condition-in the latter of which particulars, at least, lt ls infinite:;.' superior to the marriage tie. Tile Great Irlxh Question. Tlte New York Tribune prints a compre? hensive exhibit of the great Irish question, which is now looming up in the public mind and attracting thc earnest attention of both legislators and people. In order to a right understanding of the evil, as it exists, and of the remedies which are proposed, wc condense from the Tribune a statement of the most salient poiuts. At present, the Irish tenants are wholly at the mercy of their landlords. They muy be turned out any time, and if they resist the crowbars ure used, the huts are levelled, aud tiie miserable peasantry cast homeless upon the charity of their neighbors. To such an extent was the proce?3 carried nut, that in 1844 Mr. Bernai Osborne said in the House of" Commons that between the years 1839 and 1843 the number of individual oc? cupiers served with processes was 70,982, a number which represented 3.r>4.910 individu? als-live parsons being allowed to each fam? ily-rendered houseless and homeless. As the result of a debate In the House of Com? mons, an act of Parliament was passed pro? viding that no process should be executed on any Christmas day or Good Friday-a very humane act. Between the years 1841 and 1861, during which the clearance of estates was continued, the population of Ireland, as he found from official records, became reduced from 8,174,000 to 5,700,000. In other words, while in Scotland, with its 2,500,000 of people, there was an increase of 1,250,000, Ireland suffered a decrease of ?,474,006. During the debate in 1866 it was stated by Mr. Gregory, M. P. for Galway, that 95 per cent, of the present holders of land in Ireland were tenants at will-that was, had no legal document whatever to se? cure their tenancy. In one case within four days 36 houses were levelled ; and a sum of ?700 was afterward raised to send the oc? cupiers to Australia. "Those poor people, "when released from the poorhouse to which "they had been taken, went to the once "happy valley where they had lived, and "kneeling over the tomb3 where their fathers "and tho children of many of them were "buried, took grass clods away, aud going "to their broken-down Looses, took splin? ters from the door-posts, that they might "carry away with them memorials of thc "village they loved and of the land of their "birth." The Irishman is nearly always a tenant at will. He has no lease or contract, and, though he may greatly increase the value, of his holding by impro.Y?ffier.tS, may be turned out, in many districts, at any moment, with? out a penny. In Ulster the system is some? what better. The principle of the Ulster Tenant Right is that any man who has the agricultural holding of a farm may sell In right to another, the incoming tenant pay? ing to the outgoing one a sum in considera? tion of what labor he has put into the land and leaves in it. Even Lore, the landlord is an enormous gaiae'. ; for the cost of im? provements rests '.pon the tenaiiLs alone; nor is he restricto . by the fact of improve? ments from inc casing Iiis rent. Yet this partial protection system is so much better than no protect: JU at all that Ulster is the most prospero .3 province in tho inland. Munster has 4,.r>00,000 acre* and Ulster only 4.009,000; but the amount of property in Ulster is .?3,9'. ),OOO and in Munster only ?3,500.000. Tiie number of persons on the square mile in Muuster is only 160, in Ulster it is 221. Thc number of separate farm holdings in Munster was 126,181 ; in Ulster it was 221,946. The number of farms ata rent of from ?1 to ?8 was, in Munster, 22,700; in hf Ister, 57,600; farms from ?8 to ?10, in Munster, 9270; in Ulster, 21,125; farms from ?10 ta,?15, in Munster, 16,000; in Ulster, 33,900. The total holdings and small-class farms varying in rent from ?4 to ?20, was 60,400 in Munster, and (making allowance for a diffoxence of one-tenth,) in Ulster, 146,000. There1 were in Ulster nearly three time3 the number of small hold? ings os in Munster, and yet by common con? sent the Ulster population was happy, pros? perous and wealthy; while in Munster, where there were more large farms, the people were miserable, discontented and disaffect? ed. Of farms paying a rent of over ?50, there were 10, COO in Munster and 6000 in Ulster. What would be the result upon the production of food ? That was a question in which English and Irish were alike inter? ested. The cereal crops in Munster amount? ed in value to ?2,213,000 a year. Crops ci the same kind in Ulster were worth ?3,016, 000 a year, or (allowing for difference, in area,) nearly ?3,250,000. The whole crops in Ulster-cereal, hay and clover-amount? ed in value together in 1807 to Cl J,000,0'U against ?7,00 ),00) ?ti Munster. Were the whole of Ireland subject to the improved small-farm system of Ulster, ?11,000,000 worth of produce would be added to Us present ?.;0,000,000 worth. "Why, with "more fertile laud, and a moro favorable "climate, was Munster at sucha disadvan? tage? Thc explanation was that Ulster "had a tenant right of occupancy." The people who have reclaimed bog and mountain and marsh are without leases without any claim whatever upon the land. When a tenant has made his farm pay a , rent and living, he often ceases to Improve it for fear that his landlord will regard Iiis industry tis a sign that he e ui pay more rent. That l;e is thus au actual slave to his landlord, and that he ought to have* such a el din in law as would make him more or less Independent^ is not lo lie disputed. An English wiiter in point quotes Sir Edward Coke, who helli that "an Englishman "hath and ought io have a feu in Iiis liberty, "and not a mere li uuu.-y-at-will; for nu ''tenant-ot-?ill will support or improve any? thing becauseHu hath no certain estate; /therefore, to make new tcnanis-ot-wiU de "strove all industry whatsoever." Is longer doubtful that thia is nt leas cause why Irishmen are poor ? Lord bury, another great lawyer, naturally posed to favor thc landlords, asked, ? years ago, if it was not consistent wit tice for the law to assume a tacit n standing on the part of the laudlon the tenant was lo enjey tho results ( improvements; und a lalo Master o Rolls in Ireland, declaring that, acco to a fixed law, ho was Uowul to admii injustice in a certain case, remarked "nothing could be more repugnant to "ral justice than that a landlord should "at a great expenditure carried on by s "ant from year to year, withont wai "him of his intention to turn him out of '.session." The Tribune gives the following as a ; imen of the various covenants made by tenants : "The lease ls from year lo year, detern by?8ix months' notice, ending on eithet day, and nol, as in common yearly tonal on the day from which the letting bedail reserves all timber, bogs, mines, 'game, li rabbits, wild fowl and fish,' with ttie rij; shooting, Ac., to Lord Leitrim, ids lieiif assigns, his and their nominees, servants followers.' and gives him power to cute the purpose of surveying, searching for ti ral-, and making roads and drains. "The tenant is restrained from ma new roads, fences or drains on the. land, from building and altering any house thei aud from allowing any house thereon I used as a dwelling house, except that in w he himself resides, and he is also put :i <very stringent conditions as to ti?iuro. 1 to keep In repair, and tc yield up in repa! buildings. Ac. He is 'to dig up or cut d all thistles? docks and other weeds, be they go to seed, or at any time when des to do so by the said Karl ot Leitrim.' The ont is also io assist to the utmost the Earl-in prosecuting trespassers.' "If he breaks ?my of thufe conditions. I to be subject to a further rent, in the natui liquidated damages; which, for the bene! unprofessional readers, it may be as well tc serve means that the whole ponai sum st lated for is to be paid upon any breach of ? ditton, and not merely so much of it as wt be a fair compensation lor the damage ai ally inflicted. Finally, nothing in the k contained ls to entitle tho tenant to 'any JJ ment or compensation for any farm or ot building for agriculture or otherwise, or any fixture or improvement of any descriptl unless the making of such work or imprc ment shall have been previously stipulated and specified by an agreement in writing."' The plan proposed by Mr. Bright is Parliament to buy landed estates in Ircb of the large proprietors and sell them farms to the touants. The government < borrow the money required ut ;U per cou the teuaut can pay the government as r< about 6 per eeut. Tue diff?rence betwt thc cost to the government and the arnot paid to tho L-nant would give tbe farm to ( tenant, ut the end of fifteen or tweuty you without further payment. Mr. Brigit* sai "Thus, at the cud of a very few years, t . "farmer would possess bis ow i farm, havi "a perfect security. All the time nobo "could tum him ont il he paid bis rent, ai "nobody could touch bim for ?my itnproi "nient ho made on his land. The ne "morning after he made that agreement i "would spei'k to bis wife and to bis big bo '.'aiid there would not be a stono-oakthe lal "that would not be removed, not a wei "that be wo^ld uot pull up, not a particle "manure that he would not save." There is now no Lick of testimony as Irish wrongs. ?.Mr. Bright thought that tl "larger landlordism of English govormnei "was brutal. Mr. Gladstone admits "tragic retrospect when be says that Ir "land ought to be governed for Irisbmci "Lord Clarendon describes landlordism c "felony. Professor Rogers, of Oxford, write "that Ireland's social condition is the gros: "est BCanml, and that from n > f.iult of "thrifty people. Prussiu bas ^ivcu thu rig! "of hereditary fixture to her peasants; En< "gland bus given immunities to her India "ryots against evictions, uot to speak of he "endowing Pagans when li ?man Catholic "were neglected. The Irish tonailt asks fo "a right to bis improvement!, seenrit "against the arbitrary raising of reut, aui "fixity of holding. Mr. Bright's loan scheme "including the purchase of the estates of nb "senteos, aud the famous Prussian laud sys "tem, equally ?tim to make tbe tenant a pro "prietor." What the Irish want is to give th? land lords a fair rent but nothing else, and to fret tho tenant from serfdom by making bis righ against eviction legaL They waut a bettoi state of affairs thau that protested against ii 185S by Lr>rd Landadowne's tenantry: "Wt "have been made keenly sensible of abjeel "dependence by eertaiu rules and regulations "which are now enforced on this estate. By "those nil .. no tenant can marry or procure "the marriage of his son or daughter without "permission from your lordship's ageut, "even when no change of tenancy would "arise." The various points of reform de? manded may be suited as follows : "L Fixity or perpetuity of tenure, based upon a fair rental to be determined by an ag? ricultural board or other body. "2. Thc purchase of absentee's estatos and their sale to the government, to be let to the tenants with a view of giving proprietorship eventually. "3. Thc Prussian land-bank system, with loans lo the tenants, much the same as Mr. bright's plan. "4. Tenants to be permitted to sell their in? terests or tiood will. "5. That an absentee tax of 2s. in the pound be levied, and that certain laxes be divided between landlord and tenant. "(j. No rent beyond valuation, and allowance in the valuation tor improvements, and for tenant-right. "7. No leases, no rents, and permanency under good behavior; If not that, then thirty one years leases." These are the principal demand; of tb-: various reforms proposed for the land ques? tion. What the English Ministry-are likely to allow is something between Mr. Bright's piau and thc Ulster system, with a prefer? ence for thc latter. This is the b ast that they eau do. They should do more.
