bishop Cummins. of Kentucky, WfIhdraws
from she Protestant Episcopal Church.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 1j.-Bishop Cum
minis, OF Kentucky, in his letter to Bishop
smith, Withdrawing from the Protestant
Episcopal Church, gives as reasons that he
has to exercise his Office in churches where
the services are subversive of the truth as
1T is in Jesus, and as it was maintained and
defended by the Reformers of the sixteenth
century; and that he is hopeless that the
s error prevailing SO e8fttepSbRf Churches can
or will be eradicated by the authorities of
the Church, either legislative or executive.
He proposes to return to the prayer-book
sanctioned by VIM, White. He can not
hold his present position after having par
ticipated at thecommunion table with cer-
tain delegates to the Evangelical Alliance,
without sadly disturbing the peace and
harmony of the Church, and without inn
pairing his influence over large portion of
the same. He can not surrender his right
thus to meet his fellow-Christians around
the table of the Lord. He must take his
place where he can do so.

Fish Cleseted with the President.
There were but few visitors at the Exec
utive mansion to-day, nearly all of whom
were admitted to audience with the Presi-
dent.
Secretary Fish, who brought his port
folio of documents on the Cuban question,
was closeted with the President for an
hour and explained the present state of the
correspondence with the Spanish govern
ment, which the President subsequently
said to the writer of this article at would
now be improper to make them public.
because only these were diplomatic usages
courtesies which it was Unnecessary to OBJ
serve pending the controversy, but in due
time the result would be announced. This
Government had thus far acted on such
facts as had reached it, and was engaged
in collecting, from all available sources,
further information concerning the cap
ture of the Nirginius, and the particulars
attending the revolving executions which
followed that event. II was desirable that
all information should be Of such char
acter as would leave no trouble whatever
as to its reliability The propriety of this
course was too evident TO require explana-
uon, the Government being careful in
what it is ROW doing and what it NAV
hereafter do to act, upon facts and not
upon assumptions and unconfirmed re-
ports. 1t was essential that we should be
prepared to maintain our position. u
The President said he had changed none
OF his views heretofore expressed by him
concerning events in Cuba, but had more
than ever been confirmed in them by re-
cent occurrences. He shared with the pub
lic in their denunciation Of the capture on
the high seas of a vessel sailing with reg
ular clearance under the United States
nag, and the startling events which so
quickly followed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-It can he stated
on official authority that while the present

against Spain or Cuba, they are sgnfi-
cant of the determination of this Govern
meut to protect American interests at any
hazard, and to prevent in the future such
masacres as that which followed the cap
ture of the Nirginius, and which shock
the civilized world. Experience has shown
that the Spanish Government cannot in
tiuence its own DEGREES in the island of
Cuba, and therefore it becomes imperative
for the United States to protect its citizens
from Cuban ferocity.

Dry Food for Horses.

The Spirit Of tile Times says:-
owe never have believed and never
shall believe that chopped hay and
cornmeal, saturated with water, is
proper for working horse as u
general diet. We firmly believe
that the food of a working horse
which cannot be pastured should be
good sound oats and sweet hay for
at least five days a week. Look at
the South, where the common run
OF working horses are fed OH corn.
What is found there? Why, the
big-head, a terrible and almost in
durable complaint. We also think
that wet cornmeal is the very worst
way to feed corn to horse that
ever was practiced. And the chop
ped wet hay is not half SO good as
fine, bright timothy from the NOW.
We like to hear the horse grinding
up his good timothy hay like grist
mill, after he has finished his oats.
a nice mash once in Il while is
good, and very different thing
altogether from almost constant soft
diet"

Cheap Gate

A correspondent of the Ohio
Farmer says: | take five pieces of
inch boards, each ten feet long, one,
eight inches wide for the bottom
strip, and each Of the others four
inches wide. / then take one piece
four inches wide for one end up
right, and one piece eight inches
wide for the end piece where the
hinges ought to be. These strips
are four feet long, that being high
enough for any gate for ordinary
purposes. Now lay down your
pieces, then place the eight inch
wide and ten feet long strip for the
bottom; nail it at each end to the up
right with wrought nails; now take
three of the four inch wide strips
and lay them on parallel with the
bottom one, dividing the spaces so
rs to leave four inches between the
lower two boards, and six inches
each space between the upper ones;
nail as before. Now turn the gate
over, and take the remaining strip,
lay it an angle from the bottom, ut
the hinge end, to the top of the latch
end; cut it so that it will fit in and
lay close to the long strips; nail it
on, and hang gate with strong
hinges.

Sowing Grass Seeds.

We prefer to SOW grass seed ear.
ly in the fall, or late in summer, SO
that the plant may get well cs,ab-
lished before the ground freezes
If sowed late in the fall, and yet
early enough for the seed to germ
mate, the young plants arc more
likely to wlntcr-klll, and the seed is
lost. If the seeding cannot be done
early in the fall, wait until February
to April. Sown any time after
February the seed will terminate
early, and then get q full seasons
growth.
We recommend the resccding of
both pastures and meadows. Els
pecialIy is it important in the case
of meadows where the practice is to
cut the crop while in bloom, or be-
fore the seed drops; and especially
if it IS in The main timothy mea-
dow. For timothy is biennial
grass, and will "run out'' in two
years if not renewed by resecdin :
hence the remark common among
farmers that the red clover runs the
timothy OFT. This rule also applies
to closely fed pastures. The con
slant cropping with only the tough,
wiry, wild grasses which the stock
will not eat, gong to seed, soon
runs out the better sorts, unless
seed is sown more frequently than
it is.
Harrow over the old pastures and
give them reseeding with white
clover, orchard grass, timothy, rcd
top, Sc, once in three years, and
increased forage will repay the
trouble.
Lands that are ovcrtlowed in the
fall and winter, and are liable to be
washed badly by such overflow,
whether pasture or meadow, are
better for frequent resceding. In
deed it is essential, if the tame
grasses are to be kept in them at
all; otherwise the coarse, innutri
tious marsh grasses will surely
succeed them. On such lands the
seed should be sown rs soon as the
water has subsidized from them in
the spring.-Rurai Neo Yorker.

vantage to themselves and profit to

vantage to themselves and profit to
their owners. There can be no
more vicious practice than that of
watering once Il day, as many other
wise good farmers do 1t has been
pretty well demonstrated that a
large amount Of water taken at any
one time is detrimental to health,
and especially to fattening animals,
as producing an unnecessary
amount of carbonic acid. Besides,
in winter, sheep, as well as other
animals, when they are watered
regularly, will take so much that it
chills them, or, if very cold, will
not drink at all; but if allowed
freedom to drink at will, they will
consume only just enough, and that
at regular interval. Therefore
free access to water, both summer
and winter, or watering regular not
less than twice day, ought to be
regarded as indispensable by every
flockmaster. If there is shepherd
who is not aware of the difference
there will be in the condition of
sheep that have and those that have
not been thus watered during n
winter, he has but to try it to be
convinced. -E.rcinnge.

A Samaritan Horse.

The F;eld, Tuyt and Farm relates
the following good story, illus
trating the sagacity as well as
the sympathetic nature of the horse,
generally:
About a year ago dog was set
upon by crowd of cruel boys, and
pelted with sticks and stones. The
poor dog had given no offense, but
this matteied not. He tried to es-
cape from his tormcntors, and had
nearly succeeded in doing so, when
q stone, hurled with great violence,
struck him on the fore leg, bruis-
ing the flesh and fracturing the
bone. The animal howled piteous-
ly, but none of his prosecutors went
to his relief. Having injured him,
they turned careIessly ami cruelty
away, and left him to his fate.
The dog limped into the stable of
Mr.. Edward Fitzpatrick, moaning
piteously. In one Of the stalls of
the stable was young thorough
bred horse Of more than ordinary
intelligence. The distress of the
dog seemed to move the heart Of the
horse to pity. He bent his head,
caressed the dog, and carefully in
spected the broken leg. Then with
his fore feet he pulled some clean
straw into one corner of his stall
and made soft bed, on which the
dog was induced to lay himself. A
close and atfectionate intimacy was
at once established between the
horse and the dog.
The horse was being largely fed
on bran mash, and one day on re-
ceiving his feed, thinking the dog
might be hungry, the equine bowed
his head, caught the canine gently
by the skin Of the neck, and lifted
him into the trough or box. The
dog fell to with y will, which show
cd that his hunger was great, and
that his appetite was equal to his
gratitude.
Days and weeks passed, and the
dog and horse continued fast
friends. The bran mash fed them
both, and the invalid grew strong
and fat OH the wholesome diet. AT
night, the two animals thus brought
together, slept in a most loving
manner. The horse would arrange
\ soft bed for the dog, and then lie
down and tcnderIy cncircle the ca
nine with one of its fore legs. 1t is
seldom that such beautiful and
authentic incident is brought to our
notice. The horse showed for the
unfortunate more of that feeling
which we term humanity than did
the lusty youths, who were presum-
ed to walk in the image Of their
God. Nay, it took the poor victim
of mans persecution to its heart and
home and tenderly nursed the same
back to health and strength. We
claim to be practical rather than
sentimental, still we cannot resist
the thought that the horse revealed
more evidence of the Divine spirit
than did the boys.
