EUROPEAN papers find material for appre-
hending war in these two incidents: 1. A
military map Of Egypt, prepared for the use
of the Indian Office, has been transferred to
the British War Office for the use of the
military staff. 2. An order has been re-
ceived by Dundee firm from Danish house
for 100000 haversacks. As the Danish army

The Boston Herald publishes letter in
its telegraphic columns, emanating apparent
ly from the office of the Maine Standard.
The letter is addressed 10 Mr.. Blaine, pur-
ports to be signed by "John T. Foster" edi-
tor of the Newark Courier, and solicits Mr..
Blaine to join secret anti-Catholc order,
of which President Grant is claimed to be a
member. The letter reads very much like a
forgery. The Herald declines to vouch for
the authenticity of the document, and sensi-
bly, remarks that at is no disparagement
to the ex-speaker of the House that such a
letter has been sent to him, for man is, to
be judged by what he writes himself rather
than what is written 10 him.

POPULATION OF ORANGEBURG CoUN-
rY.-According to the last census the
population df Orangeburg County is
as follows. Whites, l 1866; Color
ed, 23,515.-Total 81, ,O7O.
In 1870 according to the census
then taken the population was
Whites, 500; ColoIed, l,156.-
Total 16, 1865.
This gives an apparent increase of
about Ill per cent. If these figures
are true index Of the increasing
prosperity Of our county and this
ratio is only continued for few years,
the Whole county will become one
vast city, in comparison which New
York City would pass for little
country town. Dut this enormous
increase cannot be accounted for on
any other hypothesis than that the
census Of 1870 is radically wrong, be-
ing much less than the actual popu-
lation. We have before called atten-
ton to United States census of187O
as giving Orapgebnrg G. H.. a popu-
lation less thau 500 inhabitants
which was apparent to all as much
below the real population. BY the
last census we have the credit of have
ing population of about 500 which
is probably correct. Orangeburg is
growing county and no doubt pre-
sents greater encouragement to inn
migration than any other county in
the State but this increase cannot be
thus accounted for.

wnnted...An Agrlcultural soeleLy.

The following Is n severe arrignmcnt
Of our agricultural societies ns at present
conducted, making them appear, we
hope, worse than many Of them really
arc. Prof. Rodney WEIGH gives his idea
OF whit il needed, as follows:
What we want ism agricultural society
which shall do something to develop and
improve agriculture, which shall render
II attractive and exert M influence to
cause men Of wealth and education to,
ut least, tGke an interest in farming
orcharding, and stock raising. To do
this, something else is wanted except m
annual fair. 10 do this IL is necessary
to mako experiments in tho production
OF all the crops now growing In tho
vicinity, and to record them; TO test the
value Of fertilizers of every description,
and the various ways Of applying them
to produce the most good; and to ex-
amino in scientific aud practical man.
ner the capacity Of every soil.
But moro than these things need to
be done. We want to introduce now
crops that are grown in other countries
Of about the same latitude, and to Nc-
climate others TINT grow iii countries
warmer or colder than our own. va
want to learn more about the construc-
ton OF drains, the storage aud distribu-
ton Of water, the preservation Of meats,
fruits and vegetables, the economy Of
feeding animals for the production Of
beef and milk, and the relative ulluo Of
I the different breeds Of animals. To &c.
conplish these things requires the united
efforts Of men Of ability and neans--re-
quires the formation OF society OF men
working for purpose.
The Royal Agricultural Society Of
Great Britain employs chemist with q

cal department wherc the acclimahon Of

Tho Rocky Mountain Sheep.

Among the many different species OF
game in q rountry possessing such u W.
riety, thore are none 80 difficult to cap
ture Ms the Rocky mountain sheep, or
big horns, rs they are sometimes called.
Living remote from civilization and the
haunts Of man-ranging alongthe roofot
tho continent, on almost Inaccessible
peaks high above timber.line, and en-
lowed by nature with keen scent and
hearing, they are considered by hunters
rs being tho most difficult to approached
any animal among the deer kind.
The horns Of tho male are sometimes
OF enormous size. have seen them
eight inches in diameter at the largest
part, and weighing sixteen pounds.
Those OF the female arc small and sharp,
resembling the horns OF the goat in
iact, but for tho horns and fine silky wool
at tho rOots OF tho hair, they might
readily bo mistaken for leOr, They feed
upon the short nutritious grass which
grows upon tho treeless ridges and ~
vines along the snowy range, and when
fat weigh from one to two hundred
POUNDS The flesh Is very much like
that Of the deer, but iuicier and Of supe-
rior flavor
They arc almost constantly on the
move, ranging from ono mountain to IN
other, feeding as they go, and finding
some rocky cliff sheltered from The
range OF winds, where they lie ut night.
Sometimes several hundred may DO seGn
in one drove, but generally from two or
three 10 dozen. When pursued they
make break for tho highest point Of
rocks in sight, where they stand looking
crriously at the hunter as no slowly
picks his way upward to get within
shooting distance. a4
When that has been gained, however,
the sheep have. disappeared; nor does
tho tired sportsman get another glimpse
OF his game until he has reached the
cliff ho has Just left, where they may be
seen standing on some point higher up
on the mountain, andiStill beyond rifle
sllot. Should the hunter have perseyer-
ance and plenty Of muscle, he will prob
ably follow them to the highest pinnacle
OF tho range to find at last that his
climbing has boon in vain, and that the
game he has been following 80 faithfully
and hopefully have mysteriously vaniSh-
cd from his sight, u
The only successful methodof hunting |
the mountain sheep Is TO get aboyethem,
unseen, aud, II possible get q shot be-
fore being discovered. In this way the
herd becomes confused, not knowing |
which why TO run, and sometimes fouror
five may DO killed before they recover
themselves. Once started, however,
pursuit is useless. Throwing back their
heads they throw themselves into space
as IL shot from a cannon and in few |
minutes aro miles away, taking leaps Of
twenty or thirty feet, md hardly ever
making mishap, however rapid and
headlong their flight.
