DRAINrNG.-My mode Of operation
is as follows: Dig your drain above
all the springs, close to the hill, and it
is best to dig deep enough to get hard
bottom bat if this cannot be CONVENE
emily be done, it is as well to lay some
old posts or plank in the soft places.
Then, if you have square stones, lay a
row on each side or bottom of the drain.
and cover the channel thus formed with
large stones. and fill in about four inch.
es Of small stones and layer Of cedar
bushes or straw, and fill in the dirt,
(cedar bushes are preferable to straw.
This manner of draining | have tried,
and have drains which have been laid
thirty years, which are as good as when
laid and have drained meadow by
this means. which has heretofore been
a useless bog, and made it one Of the
most profitable pieces of land on my
place. But before | came here, this
piece of meadow had at least halt
dozen drains cut around it. on the plan
of your correspondent, all Of which
were to no purpose except for few
years, and the land again became use.
less. Cafe should be taken to have a
CRATE at the end Of the drain to prevent
anything from getting in.

TuE ruRKs.-Thcre have been ma.
ny reports Of late years in respect 10
the condition Of Turkey as nation.
Some writers having declared il TO be
IN the last stage of political decrepi.
tude, while others Of clarer vision have
seen gradual but decided improve
ment both in power and civilization.
Turkey is undoubtedly weak to GER,
tain extent, by reason Of the creeds and
nationalities Of its numerous subject
being net only at variance with the
Mussulman faith, but in many respects
antagonistic to it. Nor is the govern
ment especially Of the Pashalics, suchls
a more enlightened civilization would
admire but. with all these drawbacks,
the Molem Empire. stretching from
Servia to Abyssinis. is far from being
IN that state Of decrepitude which
shallow thinkers suppose. The Turks
as a people are infinitely superior to
the Gfeeks and Armenians that form
so large portion Of the populatian,
and their capacity Of enlightenment is
atleast equal. Now that old prejudi-
ces have been already partially broken
down. now that the turban has given
place to the Frankish hat, the pelisse
aud Loose flowing trowsers TO coat and
pantaloons, the same advance has been
made to more important changes as
was effected by Peter the Great when
he cut of the beard OF his Boyards.
They are no longer a distinctive peo-
pie They begin to entertain more
liberal IDEAS. They hnnor European
improvements. They have built steam
vessels Of war. They have changed
their military tactics. They have
thrown aside the arquebuss Tor the
MIME rifle, and abeve all, they foster
education. Who can despair Of such
a peopIeT Arfhws Home Gasefie.
rnE GREKK CuURcu.--The present
controversy in Eastern Europe has de-
veloped number Of interesting facts
in regard TO the Greek church, proba-
bly, new to most American readers,
which clearly demonstrate the arro-
gance and impudence of the Emperor
of Russia, in claiming the right to ex.
ercise a protectorate over the mem-
bers Of that church in Turkey. zap.
pears beyond dispute that the clergy
and people who obey the Patriarch OF
constantinople, regard the Russian
church as wickedly schismatic, and so
far from wanting its protection, have
most holy horror Of holding any COM
munion with it. A claim of the Pope
to protect the kirk OF Scotland could
not be more scornfully entertained BY
the followers Of John Knox, than these
insulting pretensions Of the Gar have
already been among the inhabitants of
the invaded PrincipaIities. The hol>
low hypocrisy Of Nicholas is really irr-
pious. The moral sense Of the civiliz-
ed world is against him, and it is more
than likely that his iuiquitous course
will prove his ruin. Weekly Post.
