Importing a WiGc-Unsight, Unseen.

A tour of the American Union and
Canada was recently made, says the
New York World, by the Rev. James
Nugent, a chaplain in the Liverpool
borough jail, who, moved to a noble
sympathy by the poorly requited toll
of many Irish girls of the better class,
conceived and executed the idea ofcom-
ing across the ocean himself, and pro-
curing more comfortable homes and
more remunerative employment for a
certain number of such especially de-
serving young women, preparatory TO
sending them hither. In Indiana, Illi-
nois, and some parts of Canada, he found
good places in American families for
about twenty of his selt-assumed char
ges and frOman honest bachelor farmer
in Oregon accepted Il particularly deli
cate commission. The farmer in question
lives in y part Of the state where there
are scarcely any unmarried women, and,
upon learning the object of Father
Nugent's journey he requested that
some worthy young foreign maiden
of suitable household abilities should be
sent to him as a wife. The request be-
ing made in perfect good faith, the
chaplain promised to honor it ifhe could;
and accordingly, among a score OF
blooming Irish lassCs now on their way
from Liverpool to the places provided
for them, Is one who comes to we'd a
wooer known by her by photograph
and letter only. she is al orphan from
the north Of Ireland, who since the
death of her parents, has earned an

A Farmers Protest Against fighting

TURNING Down GREEN CRors.-It
has got into the papers that the
blowing down green crops produces
acid in the soil from the dccompQ-
sion which is huItful to crops; that
it is better to turn under when the
crop is maturod, that the dccompo-
sition will Chen be slower, and no
hurt will result.
This is doubtless true with some
soils-those deficient in alkaline mat
ter. But as most soils contain lime
and potash and other kindred mate
rial, this acid is not only harmless
but beneficial, as it unitcs with The
alkalis making plant food, which
otherwise might lie as it already has
for ages, useless to vegetation.
1t is for this reason that the turning
under Of Igreen crops is highly re-
commended, not because its chemical
action is known, but because expert
ence has demonstrated its advantage.
The great majority of cases have
demonstrated that it IS a good thing
to turn down the full, blossoming,
succulent crop. The alkalis are most
always present in some form to take
up and unite with the acid. In soils
where the acids remain free, would
it not be well to sprinkle the clover
with lime before blowing, or pre-
viously apply it TO the soil? In such
a case, lime would be a benefit in any
event. as the soil requires it.-[Utica

Word comes to US from Paris that the present
authorities are engaged in removing the initial
letter y. and the coat OF arms of the Empire
from such public buildings as were erected
during the reign of Louis Napoleon. This is
much like the action OF some OF our government
officials early in the late rebellion in cutting the
name OF JEFF. Davis from the great stone aque-
quct arch across Cabin John Creek, where it
had been placed in legend setting forth that
the work was begun while he was Secretary of
War. As if such petty DETACHMENT of public
works could alter the historic facts that Napo-
leon had been Emperor OF the French, and that
JEFF. Davis was at one time Secretary of War
under the government of the United States,
