eE-Mr. Bright in his great speech at Biz
mingham, in speaking of the affairs of the
country said he must be blind and deaf, and
worse than blind and deaf, who does not per-
ceive that through the fundamentally of
this strife, the most odous and most indie
scribable offence against Heaven, the slavery
of the South-the bondage of four millions of
our fellow-creatures, is coming to a certain
and rapid end.
sy-Hon. e. B. Washburn says, when Gen.
Grant entered upon his great campaign for
the possession of Vicksburg, he took with him
neither horse, an orderly, nor servant
camp-chest, an overcoat, nor blanket, nor
even clean shirt. His entire baggage for
six days-he was with him at that time--was,
tooth brush. He Jared like the commonest
soldier in his command, partaking of his ra-
tions and sleeping on the ground, with no
covering except Heaven. How could such
soldier fail TO inspire confidence in an army,
and TO lead it to victory and to glory?
s3-The Bath Times seems to glory in the
authorship of an article baselyassailing the mo-
tives of the Portland people touching the re-
moyal Of the Capital. intimatipg that their
design was to palm Off their City Buildings
upon the State and get the pay for them
from the public treasury. We thought the
article had its origin elsewhere, for We hoped
there was nobody in Bath mean enough to
nuke such an insinnation. The City of Bath
has furnished the county buildings for Saga
dahoc free for ten years, and never attempted
TO go behind her contract. Why should Port
land be any less honorable in dealing with the
State? The Times is welcome to all the
credit Of Its jealous spirit.

Profits Of q Flock OF Sheep.


The Maine Farmer publishes statement
received from Mr.. s. Dinsmore, of Nor.
ridgeWock, who. the Farmer says, has 8
fine flock Of high grade Spanish merinoes,
and who is one of the most systematic snd
thorough farmers in Somerset county, re-
garding the cost and profit of bis flock oil
sheep for the year 1869. Commencing, in
Jan uary, 1862, with one hundred sheep,
having lost one during the year. The clip
of wool averaged fraction over FIVE pounds
and fourteen ounces per head, and reckon
ing the lambs sold, the entire proceeds OF
the flock were little over S6,75 per head.
He estimated the cost of keeping the sheep
as the price of hay was in l869-at IS
per head for the year, including winter
keeping. pasturing, salt, washing and shear
ing. This leaves a clear profit of So rs
per head, or 1915 on the whole flock, say
ing nothing of the value of the manure
manufactured. During the months of De-
cember and February, being an average of
the weather for the Wiuter, Mr.. D. weighed
the hay consumed by his flock, aud found
that the average amount consumed by each
sheep was two pounds aud ten ounces per
day.

1t is related of the witty Dominican
monk Bocco. that he had great dislike to
tobacco and when once preaching to a
crowd of Spanish sailors he astounded them
by telling them that there were no Spanish
saints in heaven. A few, he said, had been
admitted, butthey smoked so many cigars
that they made the holy virgin sick. and
st. Peter set bis wits to work TO get7them
out. AT length he proclaimed that bull
fight was to be held outside the gate of
Paradise. Thereupon every Spanish saint.
without exception, ran off to the fight, and
st. Peter Immediately closed the gate, and
took care never to admit another Spaniard.

An American sloop of war had put into

went on shore to reconnoitre. In the
course of his travels he entered tavern

Lieutenant's nationality by his dress, and
resolved to amuse themselves by bullying
him.
