New Issues.

The North American, IN lengthy article
on the foregoing topic uses the following
strong language
There are great questions Of domestic poll
cy naturally evolved from this crisis, which
it concerns all of us, i'll every pursuit and po-
sition, to investigate carefully and to study
with reference to our future actions and opin-
ion. And this is the first Of these is that
which concerns the industry of the country,
upon which more than any Other S advance
mcnt among civilized nations depends
The highest condition Of prosperity is incl
dent to the highest development of labor, and
Therefore that of all other subjects should most
cngross the thoughts of a people among
whom labor is honorable. The policy of pro-
tccting. elevating and rewarling domestic
industry, may he denounced as an exploded
theory by those who, while protesting SYM
patty with the welfare of tie toing masses
are striving, and have striven, to grind them
down to the drlaScd condition of the pauper
system of Europe, 10y encc uraging ruinous
competition at their expense, and throwing
open the doors to fabrics which deprive them
of wages and employment O:hcr wis, and
beneficial mcasurcrs have been assailcd in
the same loose and ignorant spirit: but when
tens of thousands of study men. with wiling
hands and sad hearts, arc walking the streets
wanting work, with wives and children
wanting bread, they will he apt to inquire
for themselves what cause has produced this
distress, and why it is the factories, and
mines, and workshops, which not long ago
rcseundcd with the hum of happy in
duslry. arc now closed and silent. And they
will discover that the fundamental cause
lies in false policy engraf1cd upon our law
adverse to their interest, and devised to BENG
fit other interests and remote from all sym
pathy or identity with those they should
cherish.

CRUELTY OF TIE POPE.--The Pope of
Rome has q prison called Fort Urban, IN
which he confines politica! prisoners. 1t is
built on small hill in the centre Of pcs'i-
lential marsh, and the site appears to have
been selected SIS the most disagrccablc and
unhealthy to he found. OF the crucltics per-
pc,rated in this he'll upon earth, where God s
'lccecrent tortures men supposed TO lie his
enemies. the correspondent Of the London
DAILY News gives some horrible details
AT present there are eight hundred pris-
oncrs here, Of whom two hundred arc de-
tanned without having cccn tried and on the
mere suspicion that if they were at liberty
they might commit some political crime.
Many Of these poor creatures have been con-
fined for years, and although the greater
portion of them belong to the best families
of Bologna.
g In each Of the square rooms is a sort Of
skylisht, and as they are only ventilated above
from this narrow corridor, one can Imagine
what suitocating temperature there must
be, which is not improved by German sem
tries patroliins through the whole night.
These scn,rics parading past the doors of
course prevent the prisoners sleeping. Spell
burg was very bad, but it is said that this
prison of the Popc's is far worse. 1t was
in this prison that the cholera made such
fearful Iavagcs. The medical men acted
properly, and pointed out how the disease
might be easily mitgatcd; but instead of
this the governor Of the prison actually de-
privcd political prisoners Of light and air.
They wear the same dress as the convlcts,
and are chained in similar manner They
have chains on each leg. and in the centre is
ring; and when they go TO bed, through
the ring is put a chain, and then the chain is
locked to the bed.

SHELTER FOR SrocK. Many farmers still
neglect their animals in Winter, feeding thcm
fro." The stack. yard, in the open air. This
practice is not only harbarons but very cx-
pensive. 1t takes a third more Of hay to
carry COW through the Winter by this
method and with the best of hay she will
not come out in good condition. Warm sta
bles are substitute for fod Ter, and an ami
nal sheltered in them is much more easily
kept III high flesh. Then, by stab!ing ami.
mails we can save all the manure, which is
quite too large an item for farmers in this age
to throw away. Many who have large farms
and do not wish to build barn large enough
to hold all the hay and grain build several
small barns in different meadows. These save
the cart,ng. both of hay and of manures. In
no.casc should hay he foddcred out to cattle
without some kind of shelter. Ahovcl open
ing to the South can be made very chcaply.
and with light walls and matched roof, it
will keep cattle quite comfortable. They will
save the cost Of building in single winter.
Now is the time to put them up.
