THE BRIrIsH CRUIsERs--A SENs1-
BILE VIEW or rHE CAsE.-The London
Sbippiag Gu=ette, in an article in rela-
ton to the recent outrages on American
vessels, the abuse Of the American flag
by slayers, and the right Of search, re-
marks:
"It the American government be suf-
fcientiy alive to the national honor, and
to the evil consequences Of this abuse of
the national flag, they viii cooperate
with the British Government in prevent
ing the Cuban sIavers from covering
their eargoes with the stripes and stars.
If they do not regard il as an abuse Of
the national ensign Of the States, they
will let matters remain rs they are. We
may regret this determination but, in
volving as it does, or may do, the main
teuance of that right of which, as a
maritime nation, America is peculiarly
jealous-immunity for her mercantile
marine from search upon the high seas
we have not a word to say against it
The right of search has been formally
denied by almost every statesman from
jefferson to Webster, and from Webster
to Everett, and there is no public man
in the States who would not venture tC
propose its admission in any shape OF
form.
The American flag protects the com
merce of the Union just as eifectually a'
our own flag protects the commerce o
the British Islands, and that protection
as we found cut forty six years ago
meant something real, and it is not TO
the British Government, or the govern
ment of any other State, to question tn
right of America to cover any promis
she thinks proper with her flag, excep
that State is prepared to make the ques
ton caSus beHi. We trust, therefore
that it viii appear that the accounts W
have received of the precipitancy of tn
officers in command of our cruisers i
the Gulf of Florida have been exaggeI
ated; and that the whole affair admits {
a satisfactory explanation. We have n
apprehension of collision between thi
country and the United States upon thi
or any other question; but we deprecat
anything, from whatever cause proceed
ing, likely to disturb our commercial re
lations with that nation, on whose stead

ENGLAND AND AMERICA IN 1873
The following is from the London Times
of March l3, 1878:
THE public viii learn, with senti-
ments which we shall not presume to
anticipate, that a third British frigate
has struck to an American. This is an
occurrence that calls for serious rehec-
tion-this and the fact stated in our pa
per5 of yesterday that Lloyd's list con
tains notices of upwards Of five hundred
British vessels captured in seven months
by the Americans. Five hundred mer-
chantmen and three frigates. (Aye, and
three sloops Of war;
Can the statement be true ahd can
the English people them unmoved: =
Any one who had predicted such result
of an American war this time last year,
would have been treated as a mad man
or a traitor. He would have been told
if his opponents had eondescendcd to
argue with him, that long ere seven
months had elapsed the American flag
would be swept from the seas, the con
temp,ible navy of the United States an
initiated, and their maritime arsenal.
rendered a heap of ruins.
Yet down to this moment not a singh
American frigate has struck her flag
They insult Us, and laugh at our want 0.
enterprise and yigor. They leave then
ports when they please, and return tc
them when it saits their convenience
they traverse the Atlantic, they beset thu
West India Islands, they advance to th'
very chops of the channel, they parade
along the coasts Of South America
nothing chases, nothing intercepts, moth
ing engages them, but to yield them tri
umph."

HAY CARS.

These articles we wish to keep before
the people, We are persuaded, from
our own experience and observation, that
no small investment, in tools to work
with, will pay better than hay caps. Hay
cured in tho cock is much better than
that overdried in the sun. With these
on hand, the farmer is master Of his cir
cumstances, and can throw the old adage,
"make hay while the sun shines" to the
winds. At least he can stop making it
before the juice is all evaporated, aud
can put his bay into cock, without fearot
rain, Ia finish the curing process in the
best manner. 4 single shower will Of
ten damage a ton OF half-dried hay four
or five dollars. The hay caps, TO save it
would not cost more. They are almost
certain TO pay for themselves every sea-
son they are used, and in some wet sea-
sons they will save several times their
cost. They can be got up from twenty
to forty cents apiece. according 70 sizo
and quality. For an ordinary cock,
weighing about hundred pounds, cap
one yard and a half square is plenty big
enough. 1t is well, however, to have n
few two yards square, for extra sized
cocks, for the tops OF stacks, and for
shocks of grain which are not put up TO
stand the weather. The objections to
hay caps are generally made by persons
who do not understand the use of them.
They are best put on with loops at the
corners, and pins and with a little ex-
perience in handling. the ordinary force
upon a farm in haying time will be able
TO secure a mornings moving against all
showers that give any notice of their
coming. 1t is very little work to make
them, they need no painting, and they do
protect the hay. Get them in season
that you may not have 10 suffer the up
braidngs Of conscience, when you find
yourself caught with six tons of hay
e own, all wet and mouIdering, for want
of few dollars worth OF cotton cloth,
which is now scld at an unusually low
price.-A,R. AqricutuTQhst.
