A Mr. Bonimer, of Kew York State, about twenty yean aso patented a troce for quickly rotting manure, which was tested by farmers in many sections of the country with success. The pateot has long ago ex pireu. lhe process has been tried in tins fcitate and New Jersey within the past two seasons, ami as the result has been very satisfactory others may adopt iL The excuse is trilling, and the labor required is not reater man that necessary tor handliti inrdinary comjo.it heaps. Mr. Boramer recommended the erection of a pen, of any uimensions, mane or boards, lails, oranv seaviceable material. At the foot of the pen thould be a. Tat, made either as an ordinary cistern, or by sinkins: a hogshead into the ground. In this vat all the soap suds, dirty water, drainage from the barn yard, etc., are to be poured. W hen the vat its nearly fail the following mixture is add ed: Unslacked lime, two bushels; soot two bushels; salt, four pounds; saltpeter, two pounds; unsiacked wood ashes, two bushels; plaster, rive bushels; hen manure privy manure or other concentrated ma teriai, mree Darrels, inese amounts are .given as named by bim for a large vat, and are sufficient to decora pose a ton of straw or ten tons of preen metier. The proportions may be reduced according to the capacity of the reservoir. Mis the ingredients with the water, adding the lime, ashes and plaster last. If dirty water-can not be obtained, use pure water; but rain water is- prefer able. When ready to use, place a layer of dirt or muck on the bottom of the pen, ebout two inches in thickness, and tlien add the materials ti be rotted, such as manure, old straw, weeds. -sawdust, leaves, etc. vet well with the , liquor and make .another layer, comnienc mg with the dirt or muck, wettin each layer as progress is made until the pen full. The pen should have a board bottom with an air space underiKath. This admits free circulation, and allows the overflow of . liquor to pasa back into the vat. Repeat the wetting every four or five - days by, pouring liquor on the top of the acap, first opening notes into it witb a long crowbar or sharpened pole. Iu ftiteen days the manure will be in perfect condition, well rotted and fine. Heat will be generated in less than a week, j and should it become too jrreat, it may be tempered by pouting ia a little cold water. ILse plenty of tlc liquor when wetting the i heap at the time -cf composting. Tne above method is cheap because the manure so made will be double the value of . ordiary barnyard manure, and it contains i all the elements f plant food. It is valuable uot only on account of lhe addition . in flime, potash, etvfjut because of the thorough rotting f the ingredients without "fire-fanging." JPowderetta, -rvhich is fold at $25 per ton, is ciade by tais process, and jnany other cheep fertilizers are partially .prepared in this way, a few pounds of guano ..and super pho.lmte being i added before being place on Cue market. This does not . signify that they aro not valucble. however, for they give pood results. .Farmers, by 'Hsing Beninierj j rocess, can establish manufactories at lioe, -making as good fertil,'izT3 at a cot of $5. per ton. The chemical action that tikes place is tliis: The fertnente-i liquor starts the heat, .agisted by the Kane.

With aJl the modern appliances and iru-pleta-nts for the facilitation of farm labor now known to us and despite tius great improvement of oar farm Btock there is much room for further advancement farmers, as a clw. do not abrnp'ly change the character of their herd or Mocks until they hay

been observers if the advantages to De

gained, nor do thfv willingly accept theo ries or invest largely upon tue recommendations of others. Tne value of experi mental stations in educating the farmers to a knowledge of the requirements of soils and the importance of judicious methods of feeding is very great. Minions oi aouam will be saved to the country Dy me puoncation of the .experiments conducted, ana once established in eve: y State they will be found after awhile t b.' indispensable, anu the insignificant appropriations annually necessary for their purposes will be investments which return a hundred fold to the States that foster them. There should also be stock improvement stations, fiom which the farmer is certain to procure that which l- oi Deneni nim, auu from the hands of those who will be able to assist him in bis selection and advise him as to the stock best adapted to the climate ana soil o' the location in which he resides. Manv farmprs who wish to improve their sheep, for instance, resort to the Cotswolds. and are disappointed simply because they do not live in sections to which the Cots wolds are suited, that class of sheep degener ating unless on good, rich pastures, buch farmers would find profit in the Merinos or Southdowns; but desiring to improve, and having no experience with Dioodeti siock, they select the sheep that stand at the head of the list for large carcass and long wool, without regard to the thought of adapta bility. With breeding farms for the advancement and distribution of blooded stock the wnnts of all classes can be better under stood and supplied, and such diLiCOltits as those mentioned would be avoided. The farmers of a Countv could act in such, a matter; or a Township might enjoy the co operative advantages of a place at wnicn would be Jcept tue oesi stauions, duim, boars, rams, and even poultry, to which farmers may resort with iheir female stock. This would not only insure improvement in breed, but would do away with the breediii!? in-and-in that now so generally prevails. If every Township fchou.d adopt this plan of lmtrovement the expense annua'lv incurred bv each individual would be much leas than the cost of keeping on the farms the scrub" maies of the dilferent kind3 of stock which we t-ee every v.-l"re. Th cot f operatine such ttions would be trifling compared with the inci eacd value given tne block. Kven if necessary to frequently incur the expense of new stock the cost would not be great, ior a svsteni of exchange could be arranged be tween different Township?, as the tale of one c'tss of buck would iiirnish the greater part of the sum necessary for new purchases liihtly managed, such (stock improvement, farms or breeding stations would be nearly self-sustaining, to say nothing of the lasting good they would confer on any community. Massachusetts has already begun to move in stock improvement, for her Society for Promoting Agriculture offers to supplv without charge thoroughbred im ported rams to any working farmer in that S'ate irho applies for one before April 1. Tho farmers who use them will discover that they can improve other stock: In the same manner. In the Poultry Yard. The young chicks will thrive best when kept clean and dry. Those hatched this month, if of the beit breeds, usually begin to lay early ia the fall, and if kept warm and well fed. will give a supply of egg through the winter. If the coops are placed in, or adjoining the garden, to allow the chicks to wander freely through it, they will do little harm, until large enough to scratch up the beds and nibble at the plants, while they will destroy many insects. Let them have an abundance of pure water and whole some food; these, with good housing from the wet and c ld, will secure health und profitable growth. DUpoMl of Knbblsh. In the course of years there will arcumu late on every farm and in every garden, a quantity of unsightly stuff. Broken crock ery and glas3v.'are, old fruit and tomato cans worn out eauce-pans, and other wastes of the household. These can not be compostet or turned to anv useful purpose, and if al lowed to be ecattered about, make the sur roundings unsightly. One of 'he best meth ods of getting rid of such stuff, is to dig a dry well, and provide it with, a cover too heavy for children to displace, and deposit all such rubbish in this. When filled with in three feet of the top, take a piece of tim ber and pound down the contents as com pactly ai possible, and fill up with earth. The well thus covered can be planted over, and it will answer a good uuriMjse as a local drain, while another receptacle can be made for future accumulations. Tfe Sheep and Lambs. t atten antl market dry ewes as soon as pos-ible. Some ewes which have lost their lambs, or from which they have been taken, will need to have the milk partially removed from their tail udders for a few days. Neg lect not to remove lathy tags. It is well, also, to clip the wool from about the udders, as much disease in the lambs isoften caused by filth frou -the ewe s wool. There is but little in favor -of washingwoolon the sheep's back, and for old and feeble animals it is positive injury. The practice is unnecessary, -disagreeable and dangerous to the health of both men and sheep, and may well be abol ished. Sheep ought to be so kept that the unwashed wool may be clean enough for market. Xetfly-shorn sheep need protection -luring storms. If this be looked after prop erty, early shearing is not objectionable. iuu r snearing.tlie ticks gather on the Iambi, ind may be destroyed by dipping them in mnacco water, witn suipnur added, or one of the various effective "sheep dips." a Wbj t fteevont Decay of lUood Posta. : "'The decay of wood embedded in the eaith .cidirHcult to guard against, but, according to the British r armers Gazette, a simple precaution, costing-nei trier moneynor labor, wl.l increase the durability of posts put in th 3 ground by 0 per cent.

IVoodstock -Gnn. at the annual meeting last wek of the Was aachosotts Board o Agriculture, said oc the subfect-af winter feeding acid digestioc (that animal raste varies erith thrt species anc the indivULci, the active -deer-requiring a mach greather .amount of od than the alu'sh bear; tbe young of all animals need also more thaa tbe mature. The blood, musriies and fatty portions of the bodjr mar be increased or affected by the kinds of food consumed.

Milk comes nearer being a universal perfect food; its Urge proportion of water gives freedom of motion to all . the atoms which snake up the oonstrueture; the casein supplies the muscle and increases growth; the Biliar aids combustion, keeping the body warm; the fat lubricates and prevents friction and the lime buildj up bone. Salt is a neceaeary constituent of food, but the quantity required is very small. Oilmeal is a cheap heat and fat producing food, and should be better appreciated in this country. . One rule of feeding will not apply to all animals. The stomach of a horse is small (only half the relative size of that of a man), and it must be supplied often and in small quantities. Liberal watering after ratine is wasteful, as it washes the food along too rapidly for perfect dizstion. ''The i cow's stomach (a capacious und compli-! usoiucvi xwr et-vxfl oi xarge

quantities of food. Frequent feeding here

becomes unnecessary, and causes impertect digestion. Twice a day. is often enough to feed eattle; coarte food remains in the large stomach from twelve to thirty hours before it is re masticated. Never let any animal become cloyed by overfeeding, as it is a slow and difficult trouble to cure. Pigs make a better use of their food if given often, three or four times a day. The digestive power in all animals is strong, and coarte fodder may all be utilized if fed with other and richer food in due proportion. Calves do best to suck the cow, as the saliva is then mixed with the milk. By all means feed animals regularly and well, and don t have too many feeders. Farm and Workshop Notes. The number of registered shorthorn bulls in England is over 45,000. Two much water in a flower vot Is in jurious. K.eep tne earth moist only. Cabbage will thrive on any - soil that pro duces corn, but the stronger the soil the bet ter. Drv fish guano contains more than fifteen times as much nitrogen as is found in stable manure. Underground silos of 500 tons capacity, with proper ventilation, are now the rage in Germany Over 4 000 haras, specially cured for the purpose, were snipped from ew xork to Cuba last month. The llerefords are gradually gaining on the shorthorns in favor, and are considered by some superior to them. Never feed decaying roots to stock, esp cially to sheep, as they have been known to seriously injure some nocks. In highly bred and liberally fed animals the t?eth are produced earlier than in those living under th reverse conditions. Plenty of sun and a warm soil are needed for growing mangels, while swedes thrive beit ia n cool, moist soil and climate. To cement leather to metal: Wash the metal with hoi gelatine; steep the leather in an infusion of nut galls (hot), and bring the two together. Those who have spaded their gardens will find the action of the frost the few cold nights of this week beneficial in assisting to pulverize the soil. Small, yolkless1 eggs, sometimes observed in the case of fowls, denotes overfeeding, most likely an exclusive dietof Indian corn with little exercise and no green food To insure success in bee-keeping it requires a vigilant eye and a proper amount of in dustry. together with a good location for bees, a gojd movable frame hive and plenty of bee pasture. Hen manure carries less water than stable manure, but more nitrogen and organic mat ter. . As to potash and phosphoric acid there is a great similarity in the constituents of both materials. The produce of young mares are apt to be the most healthy and vigorous. I here can be no greater error than that of putting mare to the stud when she is incapacitated for work, either from age or accident. It is not desirable to breed animals that will eat but little, as it is not reasonable to expect such to give as large a proportionate return for feed consumed as thuse whica have efficient digestive organs of greater ca pacity. A new slate frame is made from strips of pasteboard, hard felting or the like, molded and cemented together, and which is de signed to obviate tne disagreeable noise made by pupils in using the ordinary wood en frame. The exports of pork, meats and lard from all points in the United States and Canada from November 1, 1881, to January 21, 18S2, were :J,5Jo,825 pounds a decrease of U tWJ.oUJ pounds lor the same time the pre vious year. Intelligent breeders make rigorous selec tion of breeding stock. The late Edwin Hammond was once asked what proportion of the rams bred by himself he would Joe willing to use in his own flock, and he an swered piomply: "Not one in three hun dred." j.o gee a gear wneel on a shalt upon which it has been shrunk it is recommended to pour some melted iron around the huh by which operation the latter will expand so quickly that there will be no time for the shait to get hot, and the gear will come oil easily. From some experiments made by Felix Masure it appears that when arable soil is very wet it throws off more watery vapor than a sheet of free water. If the land is only moderately moist the quantities are about equal, and if the soil is dry its evaporation is less. The following is recommended as a cure for colic or stretches in sheep: One-half pint of lard to which one-fourth of 'a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper has been added. The attacks can always De prevented, however, by giving a feeding of potatoes or turnips every day. Illegitimate tampering, with exhibition animals is practiced at English live stock shows. A glaring instance of this offense was brought to notice at a recent show, at which a Clydesdale horse was disqualified for having had faLe hair ingeniously added to his heavy feet. Superphosphates are naturally more speedy iu their effect than manures consisting of undissolved phosphate. A small quantity of phosphoric acid applied as suXerphosphate will have as great an effect as a considerable quantity applied as koues or ground phosphate. A new method of beet sugar manufacture consists of submitting the juice to some chemical (yet a secret), after which it is filtered. Evaporation and granulatioa follow, and this ends the process, which la said to be reduced to extreme simplicity. This is a German discove y. A case of trichinosis has occurred in Lyons County, Minnesota. JSeveral persons ate so.ue uncooked ham, and four have since died from the disease.

Breeders have noticed tkat a remarkable development of the tendency to lay on fat is usually accompanied by a delicacy of constitution, a diminished secretion of rtilk and a Jose of fecundity. Very fat animals are not JLtely to be goöi breeders; in fact, theexeeesive production of fat is incompatible with high development -f the repvoductive powers.

JESTIIETIC ARTHUR.

Our La-DePah rrosJcenl s Imperial Motions Brioa-Ilrac in Politics. Knftlea, IJveriea and Low Whispers at tbs White Iloose No Wonder "lhe lioys" are Disgusted. Washington Letter. There is great dissatisfaction among tbe old political cronies of President Arthur be cause of his change of manner toward them since he became fairly installed at the White House. In former days, when he was Chairman of tbe State Committee, and when he ran the machine in your city, he was easily accessible to ever? body.and would take a social glass with anybody who could con trol votes. When he was Collector he was extremely sociable, and the bottle and glasses stood always convenient to the desk to welcome a long line of friends from every class in society. It was this geniality of manner that made General Arthur popular, and gained him devoted supporters in all onarters. Even whet, he was running as candidate for Vice President he welcomed all visitors at political headqnarters, and his sociability was extreme. Indeed, he sometimes carried it to the verge of prudence, for newspaper men encountered him at times on bis travels homeward when he evidently would have found it difficult to give an intelligible opin ion on Chinese coeap labor, ibis delightful affability was specially pleasing to "the hovs." and when the ice rresiaem was summoned to Washington to command the shin of state thev were in high feather over the notion that at last tue AUK OF PUBITA5ISM at the National Capital was ended, and they had a man there who would be "good to his friends." Tbey felt sure that all they would have to do for tbe future would be to march into the W hite House in their every dav clothes, clap "Chet" upon the Dsck as thev used to do when he levied his contiibu tions on them at the Custom He-use, and that then they would be invited to stay and make themselves at home. To their intense disgust they have found out that their dreams of pleasant familiarity had no foundation. Their merry "Prince Hal" has become an resthetic monarch, with tendon cies to bric-a-brac in politics. When they pot passes to Washington and presented themselves at the imperial mansion they were told that the President was too busy to see anybody, and their only consolation has been in ' reading the accounts of festivities and receptions to whose regal splendors thev could not be admitted. The few who got inside the sacred precincts found their loyal souls chilled by tne irowns oi me man who used tJ smile genially upon luem A rei.orter of the Mercury found a Republican Congressman from the interior dilating upon the aristocratic and exclusive tendencies of the Administration to a group of indignant machine workers at Willard's Hotel a few nights since. The exasperate Cengressman said: "Would you think it, can scarcely gain admission to the White House mvself ? When I send in my card i has to pass through the hands of half a dozen flunkies in and out of livery, and I am made to cool my heels for an hour before urn handed in to the AUGUST PRESENCE of the accidental President. Then I find new oraer of things reigning there. In Lincoln s day the I'reMdent would receive me in bis dressing gown and slippers, and sometimes with his heels on the documents which littered his official table. Andrew Johnson was quite as unpretending and republican in his ways. Urant took on style Mid Hayes kept it up, but Garfield tried to abolish Grants exclusive methods. Under Arthur a new style t rules has been laid down to make visitors uncomfortable. The President dres-esin the height of fashion. He buttons his Prince Albert coat closely, and never unbends a button in our sight His tailor goes to the extreme of fashion. Always Arthur looks as if he bad just been dropped out of a bandbox, and his callers are given tp understand that if they would meet favor with him they must also consult fashionable tailors. hy, boys, we are even informed that HIS FAVOEITK PERFUME is violet, and that he dislikes aoy other odor thrust under his imperial nose. No vulgar smells are tolerated at the V hlte H use, It is also given out that when he enters room everybody is expected to rise and re main standing so long as the President is in sight. Ito matter whether the persons are Senators, Justices of the Supreme Court or mere citizens, they must pay this homage to his greatness. Another unwritten law of the presence chamber is that all conversation must be carried on in whispers. No loud talking or old-time merriment will be tolerated. Iii this way the approach to the President is fenced in with all the pre rogatives that are conceded only to King, and we are an made to leel that we are manv degrees inferior to the man who was elected to preside over the Senate, and who was made Chief Magistrate by the bullet of an assassin. Kare flowers, choice music. calcium lights, Kilt-edged menus, costry sil verware and the most expensive wines adorn the feasts which are spread for the select few, and over these banquets Mr. Arthu presides with a freezing dignity which gives his guests to understand that there is a wide gulf between himself and the rest of man kind. When he goes out for a drive HE RIDES IK STATE with liveried coachman and footman, and his sight is so feeble that he can not distin gui.-h any of his old friends from home who pas on the street. At home and abroad the man wIuku we stretched a point to put on the ticket with tiarfield. because we thought he was a thoroughly good fellow, who might be relied upoa to do the boys a good turn if he ever got the chance, is the foremost aristocrat in the land. His coats and mnts. bis gloves and neckties, his perfumes and pe rn a d-.'S are much more of an object of interest to him than any of his old friends. It beats me. I used to run in the Custom House, three or four years ago, when I ws in town, and Lave a social chat with him, and never thought for a moment of calling him anything but 'Chet, but if I should dare call hiui by that name now, I know he would never allow me another bit of patron age even In my own Uistnct. Chet is dead it is King Arthur who lives at the White House now. 'The Cabinet take; their cue from the President, and go about with their noses among tbe stars aud perfume on their cambric handkerchiefs. For one, I shall hate perfume as long as 1 live. Frelingbuysen is more stately than Gladstone. Folger is an iceberg. Tue latest conspicuous feature -f Attorney General Brewster's court dress is milled fchirt, for he wears LACE BIFrLUOX BISAtEEVXS and white flannel breeches. But the private carrisee of this Philadelphia lawyer is a Biiracle of display. Ii there is one thing in which Mr. Brewster prides himself more tkan his apparel, it is thts belief that he is of nuole descent. For this seaman he has set up a carriage bearing armorial designs. The vehicle t has yellow wheels, which in European countries is a mark at nobility, and each door is erablatoned with armorial bearings that can lie distin guished at a block's distance. ven the coverings of the distinguished qaadrupeds which have the honor of drawing the Berublic's chief a'torney are decked with the same knightly, device in rich colors. Yellow and black make the carnage gorgetMS in Itself, but whn the driver takes his seat in gold-laced livery" the spectacle becomev sullirrse or idiotic. Of course this snobbih display excites indignation at Washing-

ton, and people are outraged by a high offi

cer oi the Government aping monarchical nsignia but what can they do about it? Jrewster does not believe that he is a servant of the people, but one of the mas- . rfil T : 3 . . I l : icr?. lue rresmcui is an aristocrat, iu uif ways, and seems to think that the people have grown weary of the simple, commoD place customs that prevailed in earlier days. l i . i i i . i r l ieei, oi course, mal- tue wno'e ining is bringing the country into ridicule and the Republican party into contempt If Ar thur had some strong, sensible adviser like Blaine, he would throw all this flummery overboard, but he takes all his points from Grant, whose travels led him to like ira penal wavs. Arthurs three-button kid gloves and perfumery are sickening the party."

Decomiug acquainted with your came aud familiar with your seutiments toward my unbsppv native land througn my reading tne report ol a meeüng over which you presided recently, I Indulge in the liberty of mailing you a couple of newspapers published In this city, and containing matters kindred to your own Fciitiments. 1 mark the matter referred to in each one of the papers, so that if your duties will permit aud in clination leads you to read of bow Ht. Patrick' Day last was observed m this beautiful inlaad city, you may be gratiued to know that your struggle la Ireland U watched with Interest, and by interesting men, from this portion of the Valley of tbe Ohio. I already feel attired this communication will bo the more readily pardoned as its object is to impress your uou-Cntholic friends In Ulster with the thought a very significant one, indeed that great, grand men in America, who are neither Irishmen nor Catholics, are in hearty sym pithy with the people of Ireland iu their present struggle. And, lest some friend of Mr. Cht. f Secretary Förster should consider the people of Ireland to be composed solely of the laudlord class, I beg to add that at this side oi the ocean the people of ireiana are supposea vo do in me main tne tenant faimers of Ireland, and their toil Ins broth ers who wok In the towns, together with their noble advocates, lay and clerical, o' all denominations. This is tbe notion we entertain here of What constitutes the people of Ireland. All elee but these are regarded as but the gouhl 1h o-mp followers of a hostile garrison on the island. Nu, Rev. dear Father, of the men who in this city, on last Friday, voices the sentimcüt ex pressed by. yourself and Mr. George a few weeks ago, permit me to say who and what they are. Mr. Hendricks,, whose name appears In the printed matter I send you. Is universally recog utaed as among the moct distinguished of Amen cau living statesmen. Those familiar with the history of events v they occurred in the United gute within the past twenty-five year, win readilv remember the name of Governor Thoma A. Hendncks. This renowned gentleman and friend of Ireland since his boyhood, carries of a prominent American family, many members of which. Including bis own father, have written their names prominently upon the pages of American history. The gentleman, who is member of' the Protestant Episcopal Church, ha. from his childhood, been regarded as being possessed of a pure Christian spirit. No mail in this vicinity no man in there United states, where his Marne la a household word, will approach the person of Thomas A. Hendricks without observing a be soming regard ior tne aignity atucnitig to nis public and prl vate character. Mr. Hendricks Is a well preserved man, in the iuu vigor ana bloom oi me. lie looks like a man of fortv. altnoueh he is aDDroachitttr his sixtieth year. As he is the idol of one of the great political parues cf thl; country, he may yet be called upon to rule the destinies of Amenca. "A friendly clasp and a kindly grasp," was the homage this great leader of American public opinion yielded your countrymen last St. t'atrica s aay. A few years ago Mr. Hendricks sought rest from the labors of au exciting political campaign and oue in which his own name figured prominently, by visiting Europe ia company with bis sweet sud noble wlie. Ihls loving pair spent much oi their time on that occasion in Ireland, and when either of those two distinguished people speaks to their friends to day ol tho condition of Ireland, they speak speak from the stand point of personal ebserva uon As characteristic of the 'impression wrought upon tne mina oi uns American statesman regarding what he observed of the condition of things as he found them existing in Ireland he remarked to an American friend of his, on his return home, the Irish laud system is the most 'damnable" "on earth." Mr. Hendricks is. by no manner of means, a profane man, but he swore on that occasion. Rev. Myron W. Reed, whose name appears in this connection. 1 an American of the Americans. aud as the pastor of a wealthy and lnilueuüal Presbyterian congregation in this city a eongre gatiou ranking among the most thouichtf ul and cultured hereabouts the expression of his senti ments should have some weight ia Belfast Mr, Reed is generally regarded as anion z tbe most now erf ul and original thinkers and speakers oecu Dy ing pulpits in this country, and. uotwiibetandiu? that he is a scholarly, studious man, his heart goes out to human kind as a mother's milk goes to ner cnna, wnue nis sympathies aro as Droaf and towering as is the independence of his spirit. A short while ago, just after te consecration of Bishop ( ha'ard for this Diocese, Mr. Reed lectured in behalf of a Catholic charity in which our Dishop was and is greatly interested. The subject cnren for that occasion was "Father Marquette and the Larly French mi;ods in the Northwest." So trasteriy was the subject treated, and in such a broad, catholic spirit, that the Hishop aud many of th resident clergy, who were delighted lisieuerg on the eccaslon, were profuse in their favor of it. i nave tne nonor oi enjoying Mr. Keed'a per tonal friendship. You will observe from the bloErranhical sketch contained ia one of tbe papers I eiid you that Mr. Keed was a soldier be iure be became a theologian; and, in this connection. I may mention a little incident which occurred on the eve of one of the great battles of the late American War. The regiment in which Mr. Reed Was then serving as a private was composed of thot-e big handed, big hearted American men who, In times of peace, swing the ax in the pinewoods of Michigan and Wisconsin. It was oa that occsslon brigaded with some troops, from the State of Iowa, in which your correspondent was interested. Among those Iowa troops there was. of officers and men, a small sprinkling of Irish and tiermen Catnolics, who hailed wltn delight the marching into line of the Tenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, a regiment composed exclusively of Irish Catholics, and under command of Joe Burke, a tfalway man. - Its chaplain, of course, was a Catholic priest, and hasty arrange ments were made for a mas in the woods. Mr. Reed'a regiment those hardy woodsmen from Michigan and Wisconsin ma rcbed in a body to jolu tneir Catholic fellow soldiers in assistingat the offering of the holy sacrifice. Poor fellows! Many of them slept in soldiers' craves beforo that week was ended. Mr Reed was In Ireland throe years aga, viewing for himself the condition of the people, amongst whom he freely mixed, and his first utterances on bis return to the pulpit of his Churcn expressed the horror he had learued to feel of English rule in Ireland. Mr. O a Pearson, whose splendid voice enraptured more than a thousand people lat Friday evening while singing "Old Ireland shalbe free." is tbe leader of the choir In Mr. Reed's Church and a member of his congregation. Mr. Grubbs Is the Mayor of this city. This gentleman's sympathy with and for the struggling people ia Ireland grows entirely out of his ente of right Mr. Grubbs knows that while the Irish element here esteem and respect bltn they will not give him. polUically speaking, the support of their rotes. It would be well it Mr. Gladstone and his supporters understood the siguifieauce of this fact as thereby they would be saved the mistake of suppo log that the Irish cause was being helped tn America br Americana lor mere nnlitical and seliisu purposes. An aorept couclu kon, reverend dear father, of a tedious letter!?, doubtless, al ways welcome to

the afflicted. With great rer pf et I m fulv yours, P. A. Wald The Examiner contains also tie following: Therevererd gent'em&n who Las kindly forwurcled Lhe above write s: The newspapers promised in the above letter bave not yet come to baud, and the envelope inclosing this correspondence has been evidently tampered with by the Irish Government officials In the ordinary circumstances in which my leuers have been treated in this way, as they have been frequently, 1 do not much complain. But I consider the present caeo ouo for all the publicity which your journal aflorc's. The newspapers promised were neither United Ire'.ard nor the lnh World. Surely "an action lie here?" An 1 Is it not, sir, preposterous, in tho lac of international law, that the natural seciecy of letters raiisg from one country to another in time of peace should be viola ted? A lettfr crmiog across the Atlantic bouid be treated. 1 should think, as au American letter, from au American. Now, if a Police Constable or other nu,ini oi Ce Ejgibb in Ireland open this letter, may he not get a clue to a buintss transaction, which clue, in the spirit of h:scla.st he may umo to bis own advantage by UkiiiR pay for the divnlting f the trausactiou to some interested third party. When America, aided by Ireland, come to set'le tbe question of the impriiOfment, without trial, of hersnbjeUin BriUbli dungeons, I trust the will not overlook this matter of the secrecy of AmeriCin cc rropondenee. ."Peiit.

Civil Justice Stock ier Faid: "I would like Mr. Birkenheimer. the plaintiff in the case, to tiep to the witness stand for a moment." Birkenheimer obesed and Justice Steckler said: "Air. Birkenheimer, some nine, that I neither paid for nor oidere!, was sent to niv house a day or two ago. Did yoa send it?' Well, your Honor," replied B.rkeiihtMner. oonfiiedlv. "the wine mav have cone to your house." Lid yuu send that wine, Mr. Birken heimer yes or no?' tbe Jude insisted. "Well, Judge, I may have rent it" Bir kenheimer answered, after some little hesitation. "My opinion is," Justice Steckler taid. "that the wine was seut to my house witn a view to influencing me iu this eise. I may say here, once and for all. that I do not propose to accept any gift whatever during my term of oilice. 1 shall send the wine to & charitable institution. I have determined not to try this cas, and I shall transfer it to any other Civil Judicial District that counsel on both sides may agree upon." lhe eise was then taken from the calen dar.

This goes to show that the country, while steadily grow ingin population, is at the Vame time extending ia settlement area, the people branching out from the citje?, as is both right and proper. A Plymouth laritiitivijers Sacrifice. In the course of his recent sermon on Lent and the method in which it is the fashion to observe the season, ilr. Beecher told a story of a family there present whoso members held the customary consultation at the be ginning of the period of penitence.

Bea7er Falls Tribune, Arthur, who was too crooked for Collector at New York, and Chandler, who was too altogether odorous for Solicitor General, are qualified by the whirligig of time for Presi dent of the United Stages and Secretary of the avy.
