lows seems to have surprised many persons
by the utterancc Of opinions which are gen.
orally accepted, if not acted upon, in this
community. So far as we understand him,
he merely asserts that dramatic exhibitions
arc not necessarily immoral in their influence
on the public, and that both the drama and
its followers may bc so far improved as to
merit the favor and encouragement OF tho
friends Of religion and virtue.
The fact that thirty thousand people, o
majority Of them church.socrs, and belong.
ing to the most enlightened and respectable
circles OF New York society, nightly attend
our theatres and kindred amuscments, is
sufficient proof of the accept,bility Of DR..
Bellows recently announced opinions. II:
is q recognition Of tho fact that human
nature requires some such humaniring and
rest5rativc enjoyment as is afforded by tho
stage, when properly conducted; that it
must have some compensation Tor tho wear
and tear Of daily business in some mental
diversion, of which the highest and most en-.
noblng form as that which cultivates aud
eularges the Imagination, by interesting our
sympathie, and for the moment identifying
ourselves with the varied creations Of tho
poets genius. Such a transfer and merging
ofone's individuality has rs healthy and in-
yigorating an effect on the mind as a warm
bath upon the exhausted body.-N Y.

II Br'wnson, in his Quarterly Review,
denounces the opinion Of the majority Of
the Supreme Court in relation to the rights
Of the negro race. lie says
1--WE have no more disposition to inter.
ferc with slavery where it legally exists than
have our Southern friends, but we do pro.
test as inst an opinion which places negroes
as such not only out of the pale of our Re.
public but out OF the pale Of humanity
IL opinion once went that length, it was tho
business Of the Court to brand it with its
diaPprobation, and not recognize it as law.
The Court should lean to the side of tho
weak, and set its face against oppression.-
The negro race is, No doubt interior to tho
white race, but is that a reason why they
should be enslavcd, or why the Court should
join the stronger against the weaker?"
Coming, as this does, from periodical
which is pro.slaycry even to ultraism, IL
shows that the monstrous opinion Of the
Supreme Court is not likely to bc unhcsitat.
ingly acquiesccd in even by those who have
heretofore upheld every aggression upon
freedom. The opinion Of Mr.. Brownson Is
the more remarkable when it is remembered
that Chief Justice Taney is a Catholic as
well as himself.

RENARnABLE Duel. Two gentlemen, one
a German and the other Spariard, who
were recommended by their birth and scr.
vices to the Emperor Maximilian H., both
courtcd the daughter. This prince, after u
long delay, one day informed the sui,ors
that, estecming them equally, and not being
able to bcstow preference, he should leave
it to the force aud address of the claimants
to decide the question. lie would not. how
ever, permit them to encounter with often
sivc weapons, hut had ordered large bag
to be procured. It was hs decree that
whichever succeeded in putting the other
into this bag, should obtain tho hand Of his
daughter. This extraordinary contest to X
place before tho whole Court, and lasted
above an hour. In the end, the Spaniard
yielded, and the German. Eberhard Baron
dc Talbert, having planted his rival in tho
bag, took it upon his back and CALAMITY
laid it at the feet of his mistress, whom, so
the story goes, he espoused the next day.

We have Just received letter fro. one of
our subscribers, IN which the writer CRATE
fully acknowledges his obligations for certain
hints derived from our columns, which he
says have proved of great value to him this
Spring. He desires us To give the substance
of his experience to the public, that Others
may have au opportunity to avail themselves
of the Silne plan Of feeding their cows that
"como in " early in Spring, which has
proved 50 satisfactory and profitable TO him
self. The following passage from the letter
referred to, will give the more important
portions Of the writer's experience - Eos

I" Wishing for certain reasons to have two
of my cows " come in " little earlier in

succulent food until grass was sufficiently
advanced in the pastures. Bran has become
So scarce and dear tha; could not make
any dependence upon that for mcshcs, Us |
have done years previously. The various
statements which had SEN in the Cultiya-
tor. in regard to the value of root crops for
milch cows, led m, t. determine to make a
trial of somc Of these rs the main article
of food for my early milch cows; as the
manSOld wurzel beet was said to keep in
better condition than most other roots,

rows Of the sugar beet. OF these | stored
as many as thought would need for tive
cows from first Of March to first Of May, at

The writer Of the above is so well pleased
with his hrss trial OF raising roots and Iced
ing them out TO milch cows, as to make hiuI
quite enthusiastic in recommending it to
Others. We think those who provide roots
for their cows will be Is well satisfied as lao is.

How To MANURE TREEs N GRAss LANDS.
Very few persons manure trees growing in
sod or grass land, in u judiciOus or ecOnomi.
cal manner. The general practice is to
dig the manure in, within diameter Of six
feet, having tho body for the center. The
tree takes its food from the young rootlets,
whose mouths extend jrEi as far on erery side
as The branches Of NE tree: hence, this ma
nure applied close to the body OF the tree,
is not where the roots can take it up; and
of course but little of its value is absorbed
by the tree. lr you doubt it, just try the
experiment on two trees. Serve the one as
above named, and the other rs follows -
Mark a circle around the tree, having for il
outer line, the exact radius formed 10y the
overhanging branches dig on the inner side
of this circle, trench two feet wide, and
one foot deep; mix well rottcd manure hall
and half with the best Of the soil, or the
earth dug out Of the trench, and I'll the
trench with it /; then replace the turf, and
wheel away the refuse, or extra earth rake
clean and smooth YOU will have a good
growth Of tree; your fruit larger and fair
er, and no unsish,ly or unnatural hillOck or
mound around the body Of the tree.-OhiC
