About the middle Of June a Mas
sachusetts farmer cut down a field
of spring rye for fodder. The rye
had headed out perfectly. 1t was
supposed that the grass would i'm
mediately follow, but within ten
days the rye grew up headed out
again, and IS now the finest looking
field Of rye in that region. This is a
new departure IN agriculture.

Gratz Brown in his New Haven
speech predicted that Grant would
carry only three States, while Sena-
tor Sumner comedies him four. The
COurier-JournaL does not consider it
improbable that Gratz Browns pre-
diction will be verified, but, in order
to give Grant a wide margin, it sets
down six States to General Grants
account

The indccency with which Gen.
Grant speaks of Mr.. Greeley is un-
paral!eled in our partisan contention,
1t is disgraceful to the national
character. Whatever he is, or thinks
himself his language proves him to
be a natural vulgarian, insensible to
his own personal dignity and abso-
lutciy oblivious of the place he oc-
cupies. We once said of him that
if he had been a sober man he would
most likely Rave been a faro-dealer.
and his conduct bears out our sur
mise. Now that he is desperate he
shows his real coarseness of fiber
Thank the Lord, we shall have but
q few months more Of him.-C our-

The Asiafic Cholera

A new theory has been preached
in regard to Asiatic Cholera, which
is that it is not a disease Of the bow
els, but Of the nerves, though the
former are generally, but not always
affected. The exhaustion or paral-
ysis Of the nerve system constitutes
cholera. The first system is a
shrinking or shriveling of the fin
gers, by the small arteries ceasing to
supply the usual quantity Of blood
to the surface, and a bIueuess of the
skin caused by the abrence Of pecu-
liar shrinking and cOwugation of
of the skin, debility and coldness.-
This may occur without any great
disturbance Of the general health,
for some time at least. An old Dhv
stefan lays That a man may nave the
disease for hours, and perhaps days,
without seriously disturbing his
health. That is, it produces no Sc
rious effects until it extends TO the
larger vessels, as it begins in the
minute eXtrem'ties of the nerves.

A Quaker in Philadelphia, who

friend that he creased a thirty

top. The rats went up, slid back,
and he caught forty Of them the first

Cutting Hay.

Many planters in gathering hay
let it lie in the field until it is en-
tirely dry. To accomplish this, it
is usually exposed night after night
to heavy dcws, and not unfrequent-
Iy to rains which greatly injure the
appearance as well as quality of the
hay. The proper way to cure hay
is to cut it early in the morning,
and spread it up to the sun and wind
once or twice during the day, with
a rake or fork, and hauling it under
shelter just before night. If the
sun is bright, almost any hay will
be sufficiently cured i'll a single day
to keep, and it will be bright in col
or and much more palatable to the
stock, as well as more nutriciOus
than deadened by two or three days
exposure. In putting it away, ar
engagements should be made to
spread the cutting Of each day over
4 covered NOV or pen, to the depth
Of one or two feet, and sprinkle salt
freely over it. 1t is well to have
two or three pens for depositing the
hay, so that each days cutting may
lay two or three days before more
is adued to it. This precaution is
not necessary where the grass is
mown in the morning and has one
day Of bright sun upon it.-EE.

Did you ever eat a ripe orange?
No doubt a vast majority of our
readers will say yes, and consider
the question silly one. Yet we
doubt if one in a thousand ever tas-
ted ripe orango-that is, one that
ripened on Il tree, and was not
plucked until ready for use. The
oranges of commerce are plucked
before maturity, in order to give
time for ripening off the tree and
prevent decay. The eaters of such
have no conception of TIE lucious-
ness of the orange after nature has
been allowed to perfect her work
upon it. 1t is, beyond comparison,
the prince Of all fruits-SavanaqE

New Variety of Cucumber.

In the Land and Water we have
n figure and description of what is
called the new white-spine cucum-
Der. This when raised on a trellis,
grows to an enormous size, one vine
having three specimens, each
three feet long, besides many 9th
ers over two feet long. The flesh is
said to be very solid, with but few
seeds, and the flavor very fine. This
method of growing cucumber is fur
nishing much superior result
that of allowing them to trail on the
ground, rs they thus grow finer,
straighter and with n larger yield
This new cucumber has skin per
factly smooth. 1t is very short in
the neck, and it is considered a de
cided gain TO the resources of the
vegetable gardener

A special from Washington asserts
hat Grants conduct in Selling the
reins in New Orleans was instigated by
no one, and that he had no such advice.
His conduct in this dissipates all hope
of liberal conduct toward the South.
Durelps drunken usurpation was planned
in Washington, and, it is said, he may
be rewarded for it with a seat on the Su-
preme Bench as Judge Chase's successor.
May Chase live a thousand years. Grant
will not meet, it is said, the committee
representing the honest intelligence Of
Louisiana, which reaches Washington
to-day; and most wonderful of all
things is the fact, that no single Repub-
ican in Congress raises his voice against
these infamous outrages done by Grants
supple tools in Louisiana. No event of
recent years has been so suggestive of
the conversion Of the Republic into the
Empire. The Supreme Court has been
of its manhood. Chase has
lost vigor, and a body of men once re-
vered for wisdom, courage and truth is
the verieSt coward in the presence of
power. Durell, the drunken wretch and
sordid adventurer; Pinchback, a worse
man even than Warmoth, and that dirty
fellow in the Senate of the United States,
are supreme masters Of Louisiana. Fed
eral force, applied with heavy-mailed
hand, brushes the very life-blOod out of
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-12-18
PRIEST VS.. CARDINAL.
Father O'Keefe's Suit Against the CathO-
lie Authorities Of ireland.

4 parish priest in Ireland, Father
0'Keefe, has taken the first step toward
bringing on a trial which may prove to
be of historical Importance in the annals
Of Roman Catholicism in Great Britain.
He brings suit against Cardinal Cullen
for suspending him from the post of par
ish priest in Callan. The Cardinal
pleads his right to do so on the ground
that O'Keefe had sued his ecclesiastical
superior, Bishop Ossorry, in law court,
that being in cOntravention of canon
law. The main question is whether a
priest is declared from claiming the
protection of civil, as against ecclesias-
tic law. The precedents of English law
appear to be- against the Cardinal.
Similar cases have been decided in
opposition to other denominations.
The law of England is that religious
bodies may agree on any terms of union
they please, and they may erect tri-
bunals Of their own; but the decision of
these tribunals will be viewed by the
civil law as decisions of arbitration, "
and, as such, not ultimate. No subject
of the Queen is absolutely at the mercy
Of such quasi-jurisdiction Father
O'Keefe has been evicted from
his parish, and five schools Of
which he was superintendent
have been taken from his hands He
has also been communicated by the
Pope. If the legal decision is in his IA
vor, it will still be impossible for him to
perform the Office of 9 priest, but the
schools will be restored tOhim. Beyond
the immediate question involved, how
ever, viii be the degree to which the
whole question of church discipline is
involved. Father O'Keefe has his ad-
herents, and if they are sustained by
law, it may be the means of establishing
a schismatic church in Ireland.
