The New York Tribune refuses to
devote its columns to controver-
sy with the papers that it says have
committed a libel against it, and
prefers settling the matter in the
courts. Its article expressing this
determination contains this sting
in the tail. "The great DR.. Lyman

AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS.

Agricultural statistics show that In
quantity and quality Of produce, Eng
land is at least not behind other Eu-
ropean nations, and that America is
generally abreast of her. Already
American beef can compete with the
best consumed in England, our NUT
ton is coming up TO the English
standard, and except that they are
not cumbrous with excessive fat,
which is q fault on the right side
American is as good as the porcine
produce. The average live weight of
English and American cattle is coo
pounds, which Is 100 pounds over
that of other countries. There are
107 sheep in England to every 1000
OF the population, whereas in Greece
the proportion is 1SS, and in Spain
135 to every hundred inhabitants
Yet, owing to what may be called
skillful and persistent cultivation,
the English mutton Is Of far higher
quality. In Switzerland, whatever
the number of goats, there are only
seventeen sheep to every hundred
inhabitants. About one-siXth of the
whole working population Of Eng
land is agricultural, but neither the
extent Of land titled, nor Of labor ex-
pended, is able to meet the supply Of
food to Great Britain. Hence, the
increased consumption Of imported.
American produce-beef, pork, flour,
cheese, rice, wheat. etc.-and the de-
mand FOR Australian meat, the sum
of s., ,0O0, 900 having been paid in 1872
for preserved provisions, the use Of
which has become very general
Wherever or however the supply Of
foreign food to England may increase
or diminish, John Bull looks with
confidence to America for "the staff
of life, /" and, as yet, thanks 70 the fer
tility Of our soil and the excellence
Of its culture, this reliance has never
yet failed.

The AIdIne.

THE ALDINE for July is q capital
number, both as regards its Art and
its Literature. 1t opens with q full
page illustration, printed in tints,
and entitled Catch Him 20 It rep
resents two children, the elder OF
whom, a girl, Is holding her little
brother up to q rosebud, on which a
butterfly Is about to alight. This is
one of Mr.. John s. Davisis studies of
child life, and very excellent one,
too. Moonlight on the Shenandoah
is the title of the first of series Of
five illustrations drawn by Mr.. J. d.
Woodward, whose themes are the
scenery of the Old Dominion, which
is chiefly selected in this instance
from the region around Harper's
Ferry and the Shenandoah. They
are picturesque and beautiful. Mrs.
Eliza GreasOrex transports US back to
Old New York. In her spirited sketch
of Hell Gate Ferry,n which Is one
of the most characteristic local draw
ings ever contributed to THE ALDINE.
"a Dainty Bit" after Otto Meyer, is
delicious enough to provoke an epi-
cure and lover. Other figure pieces
are the Morning Bath" by H.
Werner, and "You Naughty Chill
dren % by A. Gabl. There is noble
portrait Of 1.-The Countess Potozkf -
q fine architectural view of ''The
Frauenkirehe, Nuremberg )" wood
land scene entitled 'The Onset" by
c. Kroner and weird picture Of a
bittern; as we suppose, standing alone
in q desolate marsh upon which the
moon is just rising. This, which is
after Dahl, Is a most poetic and i'm
pressive realization Of Solitude" /"
The Literature of THE ALDINE is
always as excellent as, and generally
more varied, than the literature Of
any other American magazine.
There are in the present number four
good stories; ''Sugaring Off," stu
dy of New England life, by Mrs. II.
q. Rowe, whose name Is new to as
''Return in Peace" q study Of old
home life in the State of New York,
by Lucy Ellen Guersey 1.-The Com
et," by Erckman. Chatrian and
1.-THE Turkish Slipper" by Maurice
Hartman. The more solid articles
are a readable editorial on ''The Old
Dominion,n apropos to Mr.. Wood !
wards iIiustralIons another on
''The Frauenkirhe, Nuremberg and |
"a Life's Romance" a brief memoir |
Of The Countess Potozki. The poems |
are ''The song in the Dark, !" by Mary |
E. Bradley !; and 'Sebastiano at Sup
per-" by Margaret J. Preston. Music, |
Art and Literature are intelligently /
and indepently discussed. Altogeth-
er the number is remarkably good.

TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN.
TI0N OF OHIO.
Memorial Of the Orthodox Society Of
Friends OF Ohio Yearly Meeting,
through the Representative Meeting
Held at Damascus, ColumbIana
County, 9Th mo-, May,) 9th, 1873.

In view Of the fearful evils Of In.
temperance, the most fruitful source
Of domestic wretehedness, pauperism
and crime in our county, this meeting
has believed it to be our incumbent
duty to memorialize your Convention
on this important subject; on behalf
of suffering humanity, and the moral,
religious and financial interests oi
the State.
Itcannot be denied that dram shops
are the nurseries Of dissipation and
vice. and the use Of strong drink gives
to communities social disorder and
moral degradation, and is destructive
to the bodies and souls Of men.
Therefore, we cannot conceive OF
any form of ncese or regulation that
legalizes or permits the liquor traffic,
that will relieve our. ur.community of in
temperance and its domoralizing in
huence-or that is in harmony with
the Divine law, which is the basis Of
civil government; the object Of which
according to the preamble Of the ma
tional Constitution Is to establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defence, and
promote the general welfare Of the
people.
Now, 1t must be apparent to all that it
cannot infringe upon the rights Of our
citizens to suppress the manufacture
and sale of any article, the use Of
which is productive of evil, and that
burdens the community with suffer-
ing and taxation. and destroys human
life; as it is q universal acknowledge
ed maxim of the law, that no man
has a right to use his own to the iDju-
~ of others.
And if the States have the right to
regulate or restrain the sale, on GER
tain days and occasions, which they
now exercise, they have the same
right and power to prohibit entirely.
In consideration Of which, this
would respectfully ask your
Convention, to so consult the best
interests Of the people, as to incOrpor-
ate in the amended Constitution,
clause that will prohibit, as crime, the
importation and sale of
all intoxicating beverages, including
malt and fermented liquors, within
the State of Ohio.
Signed on behalf Of said Represen.
tative Meeting. JOSEPH HILL,
Clerk
