Of barley is light clay loan. Large
crops can be grown on stiff clay soils
when they are rightly cultivated a.
Winter barley may be sown on land
that has been well summer fallowed.
The soil should be we'll pulverized be
fore the seed is sown Bones and
farm yard manure containing nitrogen
are the best kinds to use When
beans are planted, after Il clover sod,
barley would do we'll after the bean
crop. The bare ground should be
plowed twice before the seed is sown
which should be about the middle of
September Two bushels of seed TO
the acre is sufficient
Spring barley should be sown after
corn, beans or turnipS. The land
should be prepared by plowing it in
the fall, as the frost in winter pulver-

and more evenly.
If barley is not cut before it is ripe,
it can be bound up at once. If it is

spoiled by heavy rains, after it is cut,
which makes it Of dark color.

An enterprise Of great Importance to the
world of commerce, under the title of the
European Express Freight Line" and
National Steam Navigation Company"
has recently been organized, by which ship
ments of grain and other domestic products
can be effected from any of our great lake
ports to Liverpool direct. To this end ar
rIngements have been perfected with all tk
great lines Of through railway companies
leading into this CITY from the principal
Western entrepots of commerce, and also
from Canada, by which freight will be
transported to this city and thence direct
to Liverpool by the National Steam Eavi-
cation Companys ships, of which Messrs.
Williams & Guion, of No. II Wall street
are the agents. through bill of landing
being granted from the place of shipment
to the destination. The National Steam
Navigation Company have capital of
1000, coo, and when all the vessels now In
the course of construction are completed,
viii have feet of thirteen first class
steamers, costing SI,324,OOo. This will
leave sbeut one-third Of the capital to COM
piete otner ships if necessary. -Four of
these ships, the Erin. 3.318 tuns; the
Louisiana, 2,l66 tuns; the Virginis, 2,876
tuns, and the Pennsylvania, 1872 tuns,
have already performed q number of sue
cessful voyages between this port and
Liverpool, and they are considered fine
specimens of r1val architecture.
We understand that freight from Chi
csgo to Liverpool by the European Ex-
press Company will make the transit in
twenty-five and twenty-five days. Ship
ments via the Atlsnti. and Great Western
Railway will pass directly to the steamer
without transshipment. There are 10 be
some two hundred and fifty agents tor
freight and passengers in different parts of
this country, through Mr.. ]. d. Hayes, at
Buffalo, is vesE ted with the chief interior
agency, and We are assured that his ar
rangements are so completely systerlized
that his bills of landing are the only ones
to be given by the ships for through
freights from the interior, and the skins, it
is understood, are to be jointly held, thus
making the bill of landing a negotiable
document both at home and abroad. We
believe the managers of this enterprise
contemplate perfecting arrangements
whereby direct shipment may also be made
to Hamburg and Bremen, and perhaps
other Continental ports, as well as to Eiv-
erpool.

A CathOlic Priest I'm Fort mcHenry

NAtnO1tc FFleSt IN Fort McHenEYs
A Chaplain in the rebel army, Father
Sherman, is incarcerated in Fort McHenry.
According to his own statement, he was
admitted to our lines on pass from Gen.
Wright, ITO minister to the spiritual wants
cf the wounded of both armies" and was
subsequently sent to prison by General
Sheridan. The FreenlG,s's Journal goes
into fury about this, and Eliminates as
follows against General Sheridan:
General Sheridan has the reputation of
an able and gallant soldier. BE has, in
some prints, been paraded in a vulgar list
of Federal Generals Disseminated very un-
wisely and improperly, as "Calholie Gene
rslsl General Sherldan's name, and his
native Perry county, Ohio, point him as
Catholic in religion, and almost certainly
as a student under the good Dominican
Fathers. If he be an instructed Catholic,
he knows we'll enough that no Priest can
sbsolve him till he makes repaI alton for the
outrage he has committed on Father Sheer
an. The devil would clap his hands and
rejoice at any absolution given him, with
out his entertaining the firm purpose OF
such repsration to the best Of the power. =
