The Coming Harvests.

1t is fortunate for the North that our
crops are such as can be mostly har-
vested by machinery. In the ragged
eastern portions of our land, where the
difficulty of preparing the ground for
feed is SO great, they are not apt to get
more ground sown than they can conre-
niently harvest. But in the far West,
the ground only needing furrowing to
prepare it for seed, the temptation to
fill the whole land with grain-is yielded
to, everywhere there is no prospect of
its being harvested. Before the har-
vesting machines came into use, there
was large amount of grain for lack OF
reapers in that sparsely populated sec
tion. How terrible the loss to the
world, then, if, not having these ma
chimes, half million workingmen
should have to leave golden harvests to
rot, of which we already hear such
good reports 7 :. III, = ~ - Il
But it is apparent that all that is. is
to redouble the activity in making
reapers, and then all the grain can be
harvested by quarter of the men who
would have formerly needed. q
Here again we have the advantage of
The South. Their only machine for
picking cotton, cutting their sugar cane,
and gathering rice, is their great Frank
enstein-the slave whom they might
now rejoice to see temporarily under
ground; as, instead of gathering their
crops, he is disposed at present, to give
theman-oppoftunity to reap the reward
of their long oppression of him.

THE LAW OF BLOCKADE

A blockade is high act Of sovereign
authority. Every belligerent has /:
right to blockade the ports of his en-.
emy; but in order to render neutral yes
sells liable to the penalty which at.
itaches to a breach of the blockade
there must be:
First, An actual blockade imposed
by competent authority
Second, Notice thereof.
Third, A violation of the blockade
A mere proclamation that particu,
lar port is invested, is insufficient to con,
stitute legal blockade For that pur-
pose it is necessary that the place be
invested by competent naval force
A blockade commences from the time a
a competent force is stationed to pre-
vent communication.
There are two kinds of blockade, ono
by the simple fact only; the other by
notification accompanied by the fact
In the former case, when the fact ceases
Otherwise than by accident or the shift
ing of the wind, J there is Immediately
an end of the blockade But when the
fact is accompanied by public Motif
cation from the Government of bellig-
erent country to neutral Governments,
orin,G facie the blockake must be sup
posed to exist till it has been publicly
repealed. s. "
A blockade must be existing in point
of fact, and to constitute that existence
there must be power present to enforce
it. The famous Berlin and Milan de-
crees and the British orders in council
were held illegal because they assumed,
in contraxention of the clearest princi-
pies Of public law, to impose the penal :
ties of a breach of blockade where no
actual blockade existed; in other words,
to create blockade by proclamation
The United States Government has
uniformly insisted that a blockade
should be made effective by the pres
ence Of competent force, and have
also protested against the application of
the rights of seizure and confederation
to Intellectual or fictitious blockake.
Asblockade having been established,
the iagress and egress of vessels are acts
treated as breaches of it, for the de-
struction of the enemy's commerce is
the very object Of the blockade. 1t is
intended to suspend the entire com
merce of the place, and neutral is no
more at liberty to assist the traffic of
erportation than importation. The ut
most that can be allowed to a neutral is,
that having taken in cargo before the
blockade begins, she may be at lib
erty to retire with it.
The sanctions of the law Of blockade
are the seizure and condemnation of
the offending ship or cargo, either or
both.

m-"I az'oays remember that I haze
boys asoay from home. Such was the
remark we overheard the other night
from the lips of an aged mother, who ad-
dressed female friend of hers 1t had
reference to comments that had been
freely made upon the conduct of young
man who was ''away from home" We
did not see the face Of the speaker; but
we will wager our existence that great
woman's heart beats under her bodice
She always remembered that she had
boys away from home. There is world
of tenderness and forbearance in this
matronly language. It would be we'll,
in this age of virulent gossip, ifall moth
ers would acknowledge the potency of
the simple social law which this mother
had written upon her heart. Her boys
were "away from home, - and subject to
the temptations of those upon whom her
neighbor had passed merciless judg-
ment. She would not so far violate her
own instincts as mother as to pass con-
demnatory sentence on the children Of
any other.

The following paragraph from a Phil
adeiphia paper should receive the atten-
tion of, farmers and others who till the
soil:
We learn that the truck farmers and
other agriculturists in New Jersey are
put to serious Inconvenience owing to
the war The laborers have been ami
mated with the almost universal enthu-
ssiasm, and they have consequently gone
to the wars. One farmer told US yester-
day that he was entirely without help,
and obliged to plow by himself. Another
said that he hardly knew how he should
be enabled to get his crops in or out; he
had no help.
Famine follows war, because laborers
are called from the furrow to the army.
The present time is most precious. II
is the best season for preparing the land
and planting seed. The fact that war
exists. or Is impending, renders it essen
hal that we should have larger crops
than ever.
