Archbishop Pu.cen On the ReLelllOn.


Bishop Purcell, following the example OF Bish-
op Hughes, among his first public acts after his
return from Europe, delivered a lecture detail
ing his foreign experience, which abounded in
loyal aud patriotic sentiments and expressions
of sympathy with the Government in its efforts
to crush the rebellion. In answer to the cues
ton what has the South done ~ Bishop P,
in his late CINCINNATI address, said
She kept Elillions of men in bondage, for
bidding them to marry, which St. Paul calls a
DOCTRINE of devils, and forbidding them TO 6e
educated. She trailed in the dust the flag un-
deri which she and We had prospered, and
which was respected and honored as it futter-
ed on'every sea. She seized the glorious river
for whose free navigation the nations wealth
was paid TO the first Bonaparte in the pur-
chase of Louisiana, and planted cannon on its
banks to intercept western commere. She
spoke of concessions and compromises, and
she never proposed THIS ONE compromise,
whichil verify believe would have converted
even abolition foes into frends-namelv: that
after given period, say fifty, seventy, or an
hundred yeare she would ABOLISH SLAVERY. and
in tlesmeantime, as Northern States had done.
/
Nor tn could have Terminated the war with
such an enemy in three months by proclaiming
the emancipation of her negroes, and enrolling
them in our armies-but she recoiled, through
sentiments of humanity, from letting their
vindictive passions loose against their W bite
masters and m istresses and their children
and the South showed her sense of forbearance
and humanity BY initiating her perfdious
friends in Great Britain, and letting loose
against us the fierce Indians of the Western
wilds. And all this was done with malice
aioreihought. TufRTY YEARS AGO she resolved
on what she is now doing. aud PREPARED for
it."
The Archbshop's idea of what would have
been proper compromise of the difficulties
beeween the North and Soath, is somewhat
original, and will probably subject him to i'm
Pltations of abolition rroclivities. The "com-
promise" Of the sectional troubles has not
been generally understood to look to ultimate
emancipation. Evidently the Archbishop has
made up his mind, to be called "Black Re
publican" by The politicians who are looking
for crevice through which they could crawl
TO peace by Submission to rebellion. Why
did we not pei m the perjured rebels to keep
what they had stolen, and go in peace? The
Archbishop says:
Precisely because stch a course would bring
no peace. 1t would not save the Union which
made US happy at home feared, abroad
1t would lead 10 interminable border warfare
1t would set up precedents which Strife after
State, North as well as South, and perhaps
portions OF States would initiate, and thus
would on all sides. the treason against human
hope be consumated."

A Mammoth Orchard.


While enjoying the hospitality o
Mr.. Robinson Florence, of Pair
township, some six miles south of this
place, last week. we observed upon h s.
Beautiful Garln an orchard of more e.
tensive dimensions than we had sGn
posed to have existed in Madison
county. 1t is designed that the or
chard shall occupy one hundred and
thirtv-one acres, when completed, and
contaEs some fifteen thousand trees,
about one thousand of which are al.
ready set and growing vigorously
In the arrangement of the orchard
peach trees predominate, with apple
trees set every forty feet, so that when
the former have fulfilled their destiny
and have dscaycd there will remain
an Immense bearing apple orchard
Besides these there are several hun
dre9 standard pear trees Of the ch6ic-
est Fatiety. About three thousand
Of the peach trees will bear fruit this
fall, yielding a bushel and half
to each tree, aggregaung 1900 buslt-
els of peaches. The orchard is loca-
ted on the Columbus and Nenia rail-
road. In tho immediate vicinity there
is one switch and another in process
of construction, so that the facilities
for carrying fruit to market are as
good as can be desired. II the mon
ev expended in this huge attempt az
fruit culture does not ultimately prove
a rood investment, we shall have 10
acknowledge that we are vastly mis-
taken. London Democrat.

Sheep and WOOl-sheep Breeding Should
be Encouraged.

Every citizen Of our country has an
interest, directly or indirectly, in the
subject: If we gre not breeders of
sheep, we certainly are consumers of
wool; hence we are all interested,
more or less, in sheep husbandry.-
The sheep is a peculiar animal, EN-
bracing more valuable points than any
other domestic animals; and the breed
ing of them should be encouraged by
the Government, as we believe the
country is benefited more by the sheep
than by tue horse, the OK or COW
The horse is only valuable for labor
The COW and OK are both valuable fo
Tabor and food. Sheep furnish US witt
healthy and valuable food in thei
fine mutton, and also in their fleece,
with an indispensable article for cloth
ing; hence the sheep is indispensab
to the comfort of mankind. In Sol
parts of Europe the sheep is kept for
its milking qualities. I do not re
collect Of ever hearing Of butter being
made from the milk of the eve; but
l have known ofits being used fol
making cheese. The King Of Naples
formerly owned an extensive flock o.
Spanish Merinos, numbering some Is,
600 head. The ewes were allo wee
Ia suckle their lambs until eigh:
weeks old, when they were washed,
and the dams were MIXED by the
shepherds the balance of The season,
and the milk made into cheese, which
is said to be very rich.
Wool growing has always been the
safest as well as the most profitable
branch of farming. 1t is true it has
its ups and downs, like all other bus
mess; but we have found by expert
ence that whenever we have a crisis,
either financial or political, and the
whole business Of the country is de-
ranged when all kinds Of property
is deprecated in value; when business
OF all kinds is at staudstill; the wool
growers interest is sure TO come out
first, and it is always right side up
The future pl ospScts of the wool
ggower never looked brighter than to.
day. 1t seems to bee settled ques-
ton that wool must bring good price
for some yeaas to come.--OhtO Far

Momantnm In War.

The suggestion of Count LuroEski ia re-

strong impression on the popular mind. There
is he says one cardinal, absolute rule of success

Undoubtedly it has its place, but, in looking

GIVE AND RECEIVE.

When we hear a man fret about the un-
kindness Of the world, the lack of sympathy,
and the false friendship uboqn4ing. We are al
ways prepared for one who does nothing to re
Ceive the good will and kindness of others
Does such character ever bestow smile,
speak kind word, or deny himself to benefit
fellow creature? ~ receive the good will Of
others, we must bestow our tavors. II We
would be smiled upon, we must not forever
wear frown. II we would see the tears of
affection ip others eyes, we must not possess
hearts too cold and dead TO woe. No tender
hearted man; no afFectionate, pleasant and
agreeable person is left long to mourn over
the bad passions of others. He receives in
abundance those favors which he 5estoys.
There never a human heart,
However weak and low,
That would not generous love impart
sympathy bestow-
II we ourselves would manifest
Those holy feelings in our breast.
