8SMAURCK PROPOSES TO CRIPPLE ENG LAND IN THE EAST, Ft And Prev-nt a drench War of Revenge on Ger many-The Ejection of the British from Eylpt a Part of the Plan-Parnell's Friend* Aroused by Irish Evietions. Special Cable Disrata t the ,. Y. Star. PC LONDON. September Mr Parnell's k letter to Mr. Fitzgerald. President of the ' league in America, is hotly assailed by some of the leading government arznns. The main Tory argument is that cvietions 01 are not general and are diminishing. Th Parnellites are charged with trumping up ( imaginary cases of eviction and represent- 1b Ing a state of affairs that has no foundation in fact. The landlords. on the other Na.. are heid up to public admiration as lenient and forbearing under circumstances of ex treme provocation. They are described e, as reduced to the verge of ruin by the re- to fusal of their tenants to pay the rents justly i due. Finally. the statement that evictions- th instead of being general. are rapidly dimin- I ishing, is capped by the bold assertion that o it would be next to impossible for Mr. Par nell to point out in these days a really D harsh eviction. R A singular illustration of the value of e' these declarations is furnished in the col- fe umns of the Sttndard itself, the most in- al fluential Tory daily in the kingdom. Here C we find a matter of fact report of a case of t eviction, which for cold-blooded cruelty it would be difficult to beat. In the instance t1 referred to, one of the menibers of the in family to be evicted wts a dying woman. it The linowledge that she was at the rnoint w of death had no weight with the evictors. 11 The scene that ensued caused keen distress a among the onlookers, who were powerless i to interfere without bringing on themselves a serious consequences. There have been many well authenticated cases of eviction T of persons whose removal was almost cer- u. tain death; but the Tory papers ignore a them in their attacks on the ease made out I by the Parnellites. A reference to the h, latest published returns of the Irish land 0 commission falls to bear out the a;sertions of the champions of eviction, and fully sus tains the allegations of the Parnellites. A reduction of the number of evictions is , shown in certain localities, but over the 1, whole country the number is increased. ri The Tories appear to have taken the soli- 1 tary cases of reduction and applied them f to the country at large. The Liberal press b generally, except the extreme Unionist g press, favorably notice Mr. Parnell's letter. n Reports current to-night at the clubs d, point to an extraordinary attempt on the pan of Bismarck to cripple British influ- h ence in the present crisis in European af- B fairs, and the center of interest again shifts Ii from Bulgaria to Eg-pt. Bismarck, with (, the view of inducing France to enter into a r friendly understanding with Germany, and t abandon her schemes of a "war of revenge." 7 has undertaken, according to the reports b mentioned, to direct the attention of French h statesmen to a scheme of foreign conquest, the main object of which is the ejection of the British from Egypt, and the annexa tion of that country to the French empire. 0 Bismarck's Journal d' Alsace openly ad vises the French to prepare for a campaign a! to drive the English out of Egypt and seize the short cut to India. An emissary sent by Bismarck to Paris has been preaching the same doctrine to M. de Freycinet, with e whom he had three interviews before he b returned to Germany. TheDebats frankly it adopts the suggestion, and judging from n French susceptibility on the Egyptian u q uestion, the seed is sown in fruitful soil. u In the meantime, Sir Drummond Wolff, t working hard against French and Turkish g intrigues, has unquestionably improved the T English position at Cairo. Russia is also suspected of playing into the hands of t France, in order to divert English attention from Bulgaria. Matters in the Balkans are unchangcd. A sharp contest is going on between the L Kambars party and the gency, and in A spite of reports of seeming weakening of I the Alexander party the latter, backed by I England, have not yet yielded on any ma- a terial point' to the Russian representative. d THOoAs POWER O'Coxxon, 31. P. d Anent Chestnuts. The proverb, "There is nothing new under the sun," is a very old one, and would seem to point to the existence o' .he TI chestnut far away in the dim pas . 'f S late, ridicule, if not opprobrium, has been u the lot of the chestnut, and yet chestnuts a are not wholly undeserving consideration. ti Homer is a chestnut; Shakespeare is a a] chestnut;,the ocean is a chestnut; the moon al is a chestnut; the Declaration of Indepen- e, dence is a chestnut. The best fiights of b humor that divert the world are chestnuts. Plots of plays and of novels are chestnuts. All sermons are chestnuts. There is noth ing new under the sun. No sooner is a 2 fresh discovery made than it is found to be f a chestnut. Every new invention is traced to a chestnutty origin. Why, then, should the chestnut have fallen into such discredit? Whby should not the man who has heard a a good story for the first time be permitted to tell it to a company of friends in order . to afford them the same diversion it has af- fc forded him, without beintit reproached as a at purveyor of chestnuts? Ifis intentions are of the best. He does not deserve the sneers Si of the man who has had the good or the R bad fortune to hear it before. Hie does not bl deserve to be terrified from making himself entertaining according to the best means TI known to him, in the tear of insult because R somebody else may have already told what he has to teUl. Then, too, the man over d: ready to shout "chestnut" is an offensive egotist, who considers that what he hits b: heard and enjoyed should not be heard ana C enjoyed by others who may be present when the unhappy story-teller attempts to ot be entertaining. It it better to be a teller Ri of thrice-told tales, over and over again, than to be an impolite and aggressive boor. L. There is no merit in having heard a story. H There may be much merit in the telling of even a "chestnut" in a brigtht and effective si manner. Besides, too, nablesse obltige. To R wound a man's feelings wantonly for no greater cause than his effort to amuse to ti the best of his ability is not the act of a J. gentleman. To shout '"chestnut" requires no wit in the utterer; and finally, this de- b< nunciation of chestnuts is becoming as R much of a chestnut as is the stalest chest nut it is intended to extinguish. s The Anderson Wife Murderdr.
