Do SHEEP IMPROVE PASTURES ?-We are
acquainted with pasture near the sea coast,
which many years ago was an exceedingly
foul piece of land, Astounding in great varie-
ty of bushes, among which were the barberry
and MANY climbing plants; and so closely
laced and interwined by the wild rose that
they formed an almost impenetrable jungle
Twenty years afterward we saw the same
pasture with flock of sheep on it, grazing
upon close compact turf covered with short,
sweet grasses, and without weed or bush
Of any kind upon it.
How has this reclamation been accom-
plished.' We inquired, as we stood looking
upon it.
BY the Sheep" said our informant.
without blowing or seedingg 81 we asked
YES by the sheep Alone" was the reply
The pasture was quite uneven and rocky,
but the sheep had exterminated every vestige
of wild plants, and clothed the surface with
rich perpetual herbage.-NaO England

searches, afirms that according TO the

of incandescent matter, scattered in DIFF
ferent parts Of the planet, at a small dis
lance from the surface, and which are
separated from one another by piles Of
solid rocks. THIS hypothesis seems to Mr..
Hopkins, and to Sartorius de WATERMAN

A SEw REAL ESTATE FRAUD.-Chlcago is
famous for sensations. The last one Is oc-
casioned by bringing to light q series Of
frauds connected with real estate. As
nothing is done on a small scale in that
city. so this swindle Is . stupendous one.
The first step IS to obtain bogus deed of
some sort to piece Of property belonging
to the city. The blanks are filed with fic-
ticious names. Sometimes the execution
is completed through collision with some
dishonest city official This deed finally
gets recorded. OF course up to this time
it is cot worth the paper on which it is
written. But now the ring" begins to
operate. The property is assessed in due
time for taxes. No one knows the pre-
tended owner. In time the property is
offered at tax sale. Then one of the ring
steps in and bids it of The mythical man
never appears to redeem, and it is finally
transferred to the purchaser at tax sale.
Then, at the expiration Of another year.
there is another default for taxes. and an
other member of the ring steps in and bids
it of. And so cham Of title accumula-
ties until the original transaction is obscu-
red by time and intervening titles. when
the property is sold for good round sum
to an outside purchaser. In this way
frauds have been perpetrated against the
city of Chicago to the extent, it is feared.
of 100000. The authorities are conf
dent that the city has been cheated out of
eighty acres of land at Brighton, and a
tract between Clarke and La Sale streets,
on which 80 buildings now stand. Rob
ert Lincoln, son of the late President is
said TO be sufferer by these swindles, he
having purchased property within the last
mentioned boundaries, supposing the title
TO be genuine.
1t is not certain that this form of swind-
ling has been confined to Chicago; al
though its ingenious character indicates
that it originated in that city. 1t has the
appearance Of being such safe and res
pectiye device, comparatively, that we
should not be surprised to hear of its crop
ping out IN other cities We have a great
many forms of real estate fraud in San Fran
cisco; but up to this time we have heard
nothing Of the Chicago style of swindling.
1t is well enough, however, for parties who
well titles to ascertain who was the original
owner. and how he came to be Invested of
his property BUlleiiR.

CELIBAcY OF PRIEsTs.-With regard to
telegraphic announcement few days ago,
that at meeting of the French Bishops
at Rome the proposition to bring the abo-
litiou Of the laws of clerical celibacy before
the coming General Council, was favorably
entertained, the Western Catholic pithly
remarks: This may deceive those Prot
estants who will chuckie over any such
evidence Of what they are pleased to call
reform in the Catholic Church but ed
ucated Catholics know how to receive all
such silly stories. The same reason that
first established the law of clerical ceIIbaey
and the necessity for its existence, still
holds good and viii hold good to the end.
Protestant preachers may find time, in
their easy and luxuriant lives, for conjugal
alliance and family pleasure, bat hard
working Catholic priest has plenty, to do
in the innumerable duties attached to his
ministry without trammeling his hands
with the support Of q wife and children.
While there is a True Church on earth,
her priests viii be celibates

IDoI. WORSHIP IN SAN FRANcIsco.-When
the Chinese living in San Francisco first made
public their purpose TO erect Buddhist tenn
pie in that city, there occurred very lively
discussion in the newspapers regarding what
was assumed to be the danger of permitting
the Introduction of idolworship as a recog
nized institution in Christian community,
and some of the writers strongly urged legis-
lative Interference in the matter. 1t was ar
gued that the mere fact of the existence of
an organized system of idolatry in this coun-
try would be prejudicial, at least, to the in
terests Of civilization, and perhaps be re-
garded by other civilized nations as evidence
of our failure to maintain the principle of
religious freedom without risking the en-
grattment OF heathenism upon our varied
stock Of religious theories. But public
opinion did not respond TO the alarm, and
John Chinaman" proceeded to build his
joss house, and make his offerings of pork
and poultry before craven images Of wood
and stone, and curiosity seeking Christians
crowded the temple on high days and holt
days, to witness the novelty of pagan wor-
ship.
II does not appear that the huge wooden
monster exhibited in the temple has had any
demoralizing influence upon Christian So
ciety in San Francisco-at least no instance
of conversion from Christianity to Pagan
ism has been chronicled. And perhaps public
sentiment is correct in refusing to accord
sympathy with the fears of those persons
who see in the Chinese enterprise at San
Francisco plot to heathenise this country.

NEW YORK EDIToRs-" Seymour" the
gossiping editor of the Mobile Register,
speaking Of certain libel suits against Gree
ley of the Tribune, and Raymond, of the
Times, shows that they are able to meet
these little annoyances with equamity
He says: 1t is not bad thing to edit
daily paper in New York. All our editors
in this line are rich. Benefits income
is over 100000 year. Greeley makes
enough money to support dozen families
in style, but is democratic enough to take
his meals in fifteen cent restaurant, in
stead of going to Delmonieo's. Raymond
lives like prince in Ninth street, and gives
some capital dinners. at which our political
and social nabobs stretch their legs under
the mahogany. Marble has been at the
business only few years, but has already
built up quite a fortune, and lives as well
as the best of them. The Brookses are
worth couple of hundred thousand each,
and the Express is as profitable as ever.
Bryant made enough out of the Post to
buy him fine farm and a splendid man
sion on Long Island. where he spends most
of bis time, and TO which he will soon re-
tire permanently. Dana and Thurlow
Weed are very wealthy, but as their money
was made outside, they do not come pro-
perry under the head Of men made rich by
editing. The Beeches made big fortune
out of the S,1,, and sold out for another.
Ben. Wood is the only editor know who
has not made money in the sanctum. He
had made enough outside, however. and is
reported worth a quarter of a million.
The Journal Of Commerce put some hun
dreds of thousands in the pockets of the
late Mr.. Halleck, and is doing the same for
his successors. Who wouldn't be editor
of fourishing New York daily!

LET OUT MY GAL.-A preacher in frontier
settlement had been collecting money for
some church object There was still some
twenty dollars wanting, aud after vain efforts
to make up the deficiency he plainly intima-
ted, as be locked the church door, one day
after service, that he intended to have that
said twenty dollars before any of them left
the hOuse-at the same time he set the exam
pie by tossing five dollars on the table. An
other put down dollar, another quarter
of dollar, and so on. The parson read now
and then the state of the funds;
"Thars seven and half, my friends.
Thar's nine and quarter. Ten aud six bits
are all that's in the hat my friends and Christ
ian bretherenn Slowly it mounted up.
Twelve and a half; fourteen; sixteen and
three bits" and so on until it stuck at nine
teen dollars and fifty cents. sit only wants
fifty cents, to make up the amount. VIII
nobody make it up.''
Silence reigned, and how long 1t might
have lasted il is difficult to say had not q
half dollar been tossed through the open
window, and rough explanatory voice shout
ed
Here, parson, there's your money, let
out my gal I'm bout tired waitin' for her.
