Bishop of cleveland on the Riot.

"Bishop Rape, OH Sunday morning, preach
ed sermon in the Cathedral on the subject OF
riots in New York. He was unsparing in Bit
ter denunciation of the mob that had commit
ted such outrages. He warned his hearers
against any act that tended in any degree to
provoke like scenes here. He said that the
law must be obeyed, and the CONSUMPTION laws
quietly submitted to among the rest. He urg-
ed the members of his flock to attend strictly
to their business, and not even to discuss the
question of the draft. If any of them were
drafted, and could not procure exemption.
they must do their duty to the country as sold
iers IF the drafted man was poor, and no
provisions had been made by the city or coun-
ty for tie relief of his family, they should be
cared for by the Church.
He warned them not to ili-treat the colored
people. A colored man had as much right to
live and to labor for his living as white man
had, and their rights must be respected. 1t
was cowardly and sinful to modest these peo-
pie because their skin was of different color.
He also spoke against the practice of de-
handing extortionate wages. II was wrong
and wicked to extcrt from employers more
than the fair price of their labor.
Finally he warned them not to provoke a
breach of peace in any manner, and SAID that
he had pledged his word as Catholic Bishop
TO the citizens of Cleveland, that there should
be no disturbance from the Catholic Irish, and
he looked TO them that his pledge should not
be broken"

LOOKING AFTER THE INDIANs.-We
learn from a letter written from young
Starkweather to his father, that the compa-
ny of the 3Oth regiment at present looking
after the Indians at New Lisbon, having
arrested 10 who are now in prison, Old
Dandy chief of the Winnebagoes, his son
and another chief being among them.
When the company got to New Lisbon
there were about 200 Indians gathered in
the vicinity, but when they saw SO many
soldiers getting out of the cars they whoop-
ed loudly and Immediately dispersed.
1t appears that the three Indians. who
murdered the women, came to the house
and demanded whiskeg, which she
refused either to sell or give to them.
They then threatened to kill her. and put
the threat into immediate execution by one
of them taking an axe helve that stood in
the corner of the room, and beating her
brains out with it. When the husband
came in he found bis wife laying corpse.
in state of nudity, near the door step and
his babe sweetly sleeping in the bed
where it had been last placed by fond
mother. He at once OWNED the terrible
cause of his calamity, by seeing the drunk
en- Indians laying near the house, and selz-
ing the blood despattered helve that has
wife had been killed with, he rushed out
anI killed them. The third Indian succeed
cd in escaping and is now under arrest.

Rebel terms Of Peace in Mississippi.
A Memphis dispatch says !:

Mississippi is virtually abandoned BY
the rebels. There is strong Peace Party
within that State, in favor of returning to
the Union, upon guarantee being given
that the rights of the people under the
constitutional persons, of property and
of conscience--shall he maintained.
The beaten rebels will have to accept
less favorable terms than these. All that
they claim they possessed before they plung-
ed into rebellion, and would have enjoyed
them to the full to this day, had they re-
manned In the Union. But new, after for
feiting all their rights under tho Constitu-
ton. by their bloody treason; after costing
the loyal people 100000 lives, and 1000
millions to subjugate them, it is rather
cool for the whipped Mississippi rebels TO
dictate terms to their conquerors. The
guarantee of person, Of property, and Of
conscience" which they demand shall be
giyer, means-frst, that no rebel ringlead-
er shall be tried and punished for his hor-
rid crimes, bHt shall be pardoned in advance
by a sweeping act of amnesty, and that
jeff. Davis, Brown, Lamar, Reuben Davis,
Singleton, McRae q Co., shall be restored
to their seats IN Congress. This would be
a nice arrangement, certainly, but we don't
see it. Second, "Rights of property" that
is, no confiscation of the estates OF rebel
chiefs must take place; no slaves to be lib
Grated those who have escaped from bond
age to be returned to their rebel claimants;
all rebel personal property consumed, sold
or destroyed by our army of occupation
to be paid for at full value. This, too,
would be comfortable! Third: "Rights of
conscience to be maintained" that is to say
the repreived rebels shall have guaranteed
to them the right to advocate and maintain
the slave holding dogma of the right of g
State, under the Constitution to secede from
the Union whenever the demagogues and
cut Threats are strong enough to bully or
| Brighten the quiet Union classes into acqui-
escence. This "consciencious" privilege to
break up the Union at pleasure, must be
guaranteed" to them in advance; and up
Oh these three trifling conditions the peace
party in that State, we are gravely assured,
are 10 favor of returning to the Union.
They had better stay out little longer.

AN EPIscoPAG DowEFALL.-The unhappy
Bishop of Rochester, in England whose tribu-
lations we described two or three weeks ago,
has had most unpleasant time oft. 1T will
be recolected that he was the Bishop who
committed the stupidity of Gliding one of his
curates for aising sheep, for the reason that
it was a vulgar occupation, and for consorting
with farmers, because they were low people
not at all fit, in the Bishops eyes, for compan-
ionship with men of the gown and bands. The
tide, however, seems to have suddenly turned,
throwing this conceited prelate fiat upon his
back. The sheep have been too much for the
dignifed shepherd. In the last English mail
we read that at all the ordinaries and public
dinners Ethe Bishop and the Clergy was a
toast which nobody would honor-that his SUI
percillousnes, had provoked all manner of un-
| pleasant speeches from the indignant Sheep
Well wager sheep that every Copper
head Episcopal member in the United
States will sympathize with the said Bish-
OPP of Rochester. and toast him to the skies

PROFITABLE Wool GRowING.-A. Lud-
low, Esq, has kindly furnished us with the
following item, from which it will be seen
that sheep raising is fast becoming one of
the most profitable branches of business to
which the farmer can turn bis attention: :
Mr.. L. sheared this spring 454 sheep get
ting from them 1884 lbs, wool, which
he sold at d6 cents per pound, receiving
for it the round sum of $l,916 AZ. 1t
will be seen by computation that this is an
average of 6 lbs. q ounces to the fleece,
the cash value Of which was $4 to each
head of sheep. When we take into con.
sideration that no special effort has been
made to select large sheep, but that the
deeces are taken from whole flock as
they run, it speaks well for Mr.. Ludlow's
care of stock and skill in improving it. II
any of our contemporaries can beat this, we
shall be pleased to see the figures.-.State

GEN. BRAGe.-The Petersburg (Va.) Err
press tells the following story on Genera!
Bragg, which is good enough TO bear repeti-
ton north of the Ohio:
A short time ago General Bragg, who has
the reputation of being most rigid disciplin-
arian, received dispatch from friend of a
furloughed soldier urging all extensiontof his
leave, on the ground that he had been married
but one week. In reply the General sent the
following dispatch:
sDespatch received; furlough extended one
month. Deuteronomy Xxx, verse Z, chapter
XIV, verse 5, b. B."
On referring to the passages cited was found
the following:
Sand what man is there that hath betrothed
wife and has taken her? Let him go and re-
turn unto his house lest he die in the battle an
another man take herr
ssWhen man hath taken new wife he
shall not go oGt to war, neither shall ne be
charged with any business, bat he shall be free
at home one year, and shall chesr up bis wife
which he hath taken.n

The CROWNED SKULL.-Chailemagne
rave instructions that when he died he
should be buried in royal position, not
PROSTATE as slumbering dust, but seated in
the attitude of ruling monarch. He had
the mausoleum erected after the model OF
the chapel which had been reared over the
sepulchre Of the Saviour at Jeruselum. In
a tomb within this chapel he placed upon
throne. He directed the Gospel to be
laid upon his knees before him; by his side
was his sword-his celebrated sword upon
his head was an imperial crown; and
a royal mantle covered his lifeless shout
ders.
Thus was bis body place !. and thus did
his body remain for about one hundred and
eighty years. !,
One of his successors resolved he would
see how Charlemagne looked, and what had
become Of the riches that adorned bis
tomb. Nearly a thousand years after
Christ, the tomb was opened by the Emper-
or Ohio. The skeleton form of the body
was found there, dissolved and dismember-
ed the various ornaments that we speak Of
were all there to; but the frame had sunk
into fragments, the bones had fallen dis
iointed and asunder; and there remained
nothing but the ghastly skull wearing its
crown still, and nothing to signify royalty
but this vain pageant of death in its most
hideous FORM

Orchard culture n the Weat.

AT the last meeting Of the American
Pathological Society, held in Boston last
fall, DIR. j. A. Warder, Of Cincinnati, read
D. per on orchard culture in the Vest
From our own observation, we can bear
testimony to the correctness of one or two
points touched in tie following remarks
copied from the Doctors Essay. We have
reference to the pasturing Of hogs in tho
orchard, planting low headed trees. We
are familiar with an orchard near Dubuque,
some fifteen years old, and Of about two
acres in extent. In that orchard the trees
have attained large size, and stand so near
together that in many cases the TOPS nearly,
if not quite, interlace their branches. The
orchard has been in grass ever since We
knew it-a period Of some six years, and
during that time, we believe, it has never
failed to produce a fair crop of fruit. The
ground is so completely shaded that the
grass crops amounts 20 little or nothing.
Upon the south side of the orchard, some
Of the outer trees show the effects Of sun
and wind by their inclination to the north
east and blackened decay upon the sunny
side Of the stem. DR. w. says:
"When the orchard has acquired suffi-
cient growth, and assumes its condition
Of maturity and fruit bearing, it no longer
so imperitively requires to be cultivated,
and is somewhat better if let alone; having
been laid down to clover, or clover and or
chard grass, it should be made use of as a
hog walk No other stock should ever be
permitted to SET hoof upon the soil appro-
priated Ia the orchard. The swine alone
should be allowed to pasture it, and TO
consume the fallen fruit, thus destroying
immense numbers of insects, they will keep
these pests 10 check. They will distribute
their droppings over the surface, and they
may even be allowed to root il the soil, 70
some extent, with their shouts. Should
weeds make their appearance, they may te
moved and left upon the ground, or thrown
about the trees rs a mulch; but with the
close planting that is now generally recon-
menGed, and sometimes pract:eed, and with
the low headed trees are so very much pre-
ferred by all who have had an opportunity
Of observing their advantages, there is really
little space left for any crop among the trees,
except grass, and this will scarcely crow be-
meath them, in The thick shade Of their de-
pending boughs.- Wis. Fdrnef.
