Productive FARMs.-To snys person unac-
quainted with the history and statistics Of En-
glish husbandry. the extreme prodnctiveness
Of the farms Of that country, will appear in
credible. Nearly nine tennis Of the cultiva-
ted land in Great Britain and Ireland. are rent
ed to tenants who pay usually from four to
five pounds sterling, per acre, annual rent
Where is the farmer in this country, who could
live under such burthen? Here farm COM
prising hundred acres is often rented for
hundred dollals, and even at this rate the ten.
ant has hard task. The cultivation, even
when there are large number of acres in
grass, will little more than pay the rent and
taxes; but in England the result is widely
different. The ter ant who there pays fve
pounds sterling, per acre, annual rent, and
finds all appliances, obtains not only a comfor.
table living, but wealth from the prosecution
of a calling which here would doom him to
want and misery, aud ultimately death, unless
assisted by the town.
In 1911, Mirwin estimated the produce Of
one English farm of 500 acres, .g8,578--or
$3S, 900 the quantity of manure applied was
1916 one horse carloads in one year, aud
1880 the next! Now admitting the rent of
this farm to be sl2 per acre, and the cost of
manure and its application $l2 more, and if
to this sum we add, for interest or expences,
taxes, and the various contingent expenses of
cultivation &C., $l2 dollars more we shall
find, upon striking the balsnce, rhat there will
remain profit Of $40 the acre-amountng in
the gross aggregate to the sum of So, 900 clear
gain to the tenant, in single year! ~
In the vicinity of London, hay farm was
rented comprising l6O acres. The rental in
this instance, was $l2 per acre, amounting in
the whole to $4,000 per year. A heavy ex.
pendature was required for manure-probably
as much as many a New England farmer
would have been willing 70 give for the land,
and yet the tenant succeeded, and has since
become wealthy, and with no income than the
produce Of this farm. % f44aif
In Ireland, poor tenant hired an acre of
land. erected his cottage, purchased manure
and farming tools, and the first season cleared
all expenses and had balance Of eight pounds
left. And yet the Irish peasant, in addition
to the expences and OUTLAWS above enumerated,
has church tax to pay, and to be at the expense
of purchasing his own seed and maintaining
family Of four besides himself and wife. Tho
frugality of the Irish peasantry is prover5ial.
They want nothing of luxury, and are as con-
tented, and far more robust with their fare of
simple milk and potatoes, than the New Eng
lander with the best end most nutritious Vi
ands he can procure; but there was some
thing more than mere frpgality at the bottom
rciiItiSa;fon--a lh.ng t!Iat III New England
may be said to be wholly unknown. This is
the mystery and the only one That peas
ant would have starved here on forty acres!

MonsE's TELreRApH.-The Washington

MoRsE's TELEGRAPH.-The Washington
correspondent Of the New York Evening Post,
gives the following interesting account of Pro-
lessor Morse's mode Of communication be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, by the es-
Enlistment or line of telegraphs:
~ paid visit yesterday to the room in
which Professor Morse is directing operations
and experiments upon this new and most won
derful plan of communication. The wires are
extended yet only twenty-five miles on the
road to Baltimore. This invention has been
so frequently and fully described that could
not hope to give q clearer idea of it than your
readers probably now have. But in no ac-
count is the mode of writing indicated. The
pen used may be called three pronged fork,
or SO many little pointed steel screws; the Ink
is electricity. In speaking of it. therefore.
you may say that you write with a steel pen
and forked lightning.
The manner of writing is this. The chirog-
rapher takes hold Of the loose end of the mag
netic wire. He dips this end in little de-
poste Of mercury or quicksilver, which COM
municates the electric spark, and this spark
(of chain lghtningl passes along the wire
with the speed of thought, possessing suf-
ficient force to press the steel points | have
alluded to, down upon strip of paper made
to pass beneath them. The distance travelled
by the fluid along one wire, twenty two miles
aud back, upon the other is of course forty
four miles. The speed of its passage is ind.
Gated by the fact that the very instant the end
Of the wire is seen to dip into the quicksilver,
the little points are pressed 10 the paper-in
other words, there is no perceptibe interval
between its starting upon and return from lis
trip of forty.four miles. 1t would 60 round
the globe in one.seventh Of second.
But now to the characters employed in this
new scheme Of calligraphy. tits evident that
the mere pressure of the points upon the paper
would produce only dots. But when it is
wished to make communication, slip Of
paper is made to pass along from roller, un-
der these points. The letters, the words, or
the phrases desired to be expressed, are indi-
Gated by the length Of the marks, or by the
frequency of paucity of the dots, made. Thus
suppose the letter A to be represented by the
three single dots, the writer dips the point Of
the wire in and withdraws it as quickly as
possible, so that that points only strike the
paper, and instantly fly back. They thus
make. it is Obvious, the least possible Impress
ion that is, only dot for each point. But
suppose G to be represented by lines half an
inch long. The writer has only to keep the
end of the wire in the quick silver until the
paper has passed along that distance under the
points which are messing upon, it. Ofcoprse.
fitness of this system of communication de-
ponds in great degree upon the efficiency of
the plan of stenography devised. For if the
distinctive characters employed were no more
complete, nor comprehensive in their separate
Specification, than the letters Of the alphabet.
a person could convey very little information
even 10 day.

The RlOTS, AND SOME OF THEIR CONSEQUENT
crs.-We were yesterday morning Informed
that large number Of the Irish Catholics and
others. who were so ruthlessly thrust from
their homes during the riots of Tuesday and
Wednesday, had encamped in Camac's FOODS
and other places, some two or three miles north
of the city. Surrounded by their wives and
children, it was alleged that they were unable
to proceed, and were afraid 10 return to the
city. Our informant represented their condl-
tioh as destitute and pitable in the extreme
They were without food, except what chance
or charity threw in their way, and destitute OF
clothing sufficient to protect them from the
damp night air. While in this deplorabDe con.
di,ion, as we are informed by worthy and
benevolent magistrate, one woman gave oifsn
to child. So horrible a condition of things
aroused the sympathies Of several OF our cisl-
zens, who Immediately set about furnishing
them with succo- aud relief. A reporter was
despatched from this Office to learn the truth
and particulars of this statement After con-
siderable search party was found near inc
woods above alluded to, from whom, alter al
laying their fears that we were not enemies IN
disguise, we learned that much OF the sad tale
was but too true. The greater number OF
those who sought refuge had however, dls-
persed. Some had returned to their burnt OF
deserted residences, while many were vending
their way to the surrounding villages-to Man
ayunk, Norristown, &c.
One man, we heard, had just past the spot
where we had met the party in question. lead

wife, from whom he had become separated on
the night of the riots, and not since been anle

THE SAILORS GRAVE.


There is within the lone, lone sea
A spot unmarked, but holy,
For there the gallant and the free,
q In his ocean bed lies lowly.
Down, down beneath the deep,
That oft in triumph bore him,
He sleeps sound and peaceful sleep,
With the salt wave dashing DER him.
He sleeps, serene and safe
From tempest and from billow;
Where storms that high above him chafe,
Scarce rock his peaceful pillow.
The sea and him in death,
They did not dare to sever;
II was bis home when he had breath.
It is his home forever.
Sleep on, sleep on, thou dead,
A glorious tomb they've found thee;
The broad blue sky above thee spread,
The bouHdless ocean round thee.
No vulgar foot treads here,
No hand profane shall move thee;
But gallant hearts shall proudly sleep
And warriors shout above thee.
The mournful wave thy dirge,
The sea birds song condoles thee;
1t dips its grey wing in the surge,
And sings requiem DER thee.
