Sheep Management.

a correspondent Of a Monroe paper
says:
"The inquiry is often made of me
how | manage my sheep to obtain so
large yield of wool from year to
year. Some say, you must feed il
large amount of grain - and when
tell them that fed no grain to my
sheep in tho last three or four years,
they seems surprised but such is the
fact. If grain is fed, corn is best, and
should bo fed in the mcnths of No
vehber and December, assisting ma
ture Che animaD in its efforts to
clothe itself with heavy warm coat
preparatory for winter. 1t is in these
months that wool grows the fastest for
the reason above stated.

Merinos, and l raise no ticks. \

COMPULSORY VoTING.-The newspapers in
various quarters are beginning to discuss the
subject of compulsory voting, and some appear
to advocate it itserieusly. They want laws passed
or constitutional amendment adopted to
make voting imperative upon free American
citizens, and a failure to vote punishable by
fine and imprisonment. It is difficult to inn
agine how any public print or public man in
America can seriously entertain such pr0pO-
sition for moment. The very phrase "com-
pulsory voting" is contradiction. Voting
implies choice, and q choice cannot be c0nl-
pulsory. To make voting compulsory would be
to undermine the foundation upon which the
republic stands, by All arbitrary act Of tyranny.
The will Of the people expressed by their free
choice is the bloom which preceded all the fruit
Of our republican institutions.
II a man wishes to stay away from the polls
on election day. his right to do SO is unques-
tionable. He is exercising his free choice and
republican privileges just as much as the man
who votes. That is his way of expressing his
opinion of the candidates to be voted for He
ought not to be compelled to vote for man
whom he may consider unfit to hold Office, and
he may place all the candidates in this category.
That is his right, and to vote for his own man
in such a case would be foolish 1t would be
far more republican to compel man to marry
after certain age, as some of the ancients did
than to drag hun to the polls or punish him for
his refusal TO GO An election place under the
operation Ot such law would be public pill
lory of opinion, and it would fail in every sug-
geston Of free government. Every voter
would feel degraded under the pressure OF
c compulson to vote Better leave the way to
the ballot box free, as is the ballot itself-.No
Republican.

ANECDoTE OF GREEIEY.-He had a good
deal Of the real attachment which Dickens af-
fects for oatre people; scapegraces, brilliant
fellows without stability, aud people who are
never worthless and yet always shiftless. Of
these, Halpine was an extraordinary instance.
Halpine was a splendid type of Levers Irish
man, without deep feelings Of fixed principles.
but with talents, humor, facility. and beam
ing face. Greeley carried him" for years,
helped to elect him to a position where he could
have saved 500, ,099, and at last had the Office
saved for his famly's advantage after the man
died. called Mr.. Greeley's attention to this
one day, and he said to my surprise:
II never saw fellow who had SO little idea
that there could be such things as principles in
this life as Halpine.'
"lou appear to believe in him, Mr.. Greeley"
"Oh. no 1t wasn't that. He wouldn't let
me believe in him. took the same interest in
him that would in a delightful heather. He
was enough of care to make me attached to
him, and enough of pleasure to pay me back
with interest. When Charlie Halpine died,
there seemed to be no boys left for me to play
with. Geo. Alfred 1oarnsend.

A REVOLUTION IN HARVARD COLLEGE,
1t is announced that radical changes are about
to be made in the economy of Harvard Cellege
which will tend to asslmlate it more closeif to
European universities. 1t is proposed to aban-
don the present system of recitations, subsaie
tuing therefor lectures, attendance on which
will not be compulsory. But vigorous exami-
nations will be made, and if a student fails to
attend or te profit by the lectures his delin-
quency will be discovered, and he will have to
suffer for it, 1t is proposed also to abolish the
morning prayers, which, from time immemori-
al, all students have been obliged to attend,
and which have no doubt provoked a greater
amount of profanity among that irascible class
than any other single cause. This exercise has
been omitted for several mouths while the chap

CENSUS REyELATIONs-If we can rely
anything on the showings made by the last cen.
sus, and if the presence of christian churches
in community, and the attendance Of the peo.
pie upon divine service are to be taken as evil
dences OF the existence among the people OF
correct habits and good morals. then to the
South must be given precedence in these mat
ters over that god-and- d-morality district, other
wise known as New England. Deductions,
which the New York Ford has made from the
census of 1870, show that, taking the six New
England States on the one hand, and the six
South Atlantic States, counting Virginia aud
West Virginia as one, on the other, we have
this statement of the way they "pan out" in
churches. The six New England States, with
population of 3,455,043 people, contain but
3,i2l churches. These are attended by only
2,2o3677 piously inclined Yanks. The six
Southern States, with a population less by FIVE
thousand, have ,567 churches, attended by
3,ob0.a-i "heathcn Southroas." 1t is also
