The Rev. P. B. Morgan, rector Of 81. John 8
Protestant Episcopal Church, Cincinnati, announc-
cd to his congregation on recent Sunday that ho
had decided to become . Reformed Episcopslian.
he Is clergyman Of high standing In the West and
his detection is regarded with much interest. he
read statement OF his reason for the change. the
point OF which WAS that the Protestant Episcopal
Church is tending toward Roman Catholicism. He
said: do soiemniy affirm that the doctrines and
practices peculiar to the Roman Catholic Church
are, one and all, save tho supremacy and infalbl-
ty OF the Pope, held taught, and prsc!ised, with
out let or hindrance, in the so-called Protestant
Episcopal Church. Among these reprehsnsible
doctrines may be named the doctrine tradition is Of
siaa. Importance with the Bible; that liberty of
conscience and the right OF private Judgment are
questionable claims: that in its ministry there is
priesthood exercising the functions claimed for tue
priests OF Rome-having power with Romish priests
to forgive sins and to offer masses for the dead the
real presence; worshppng the host; aurlcular con-
fession prayers for the dead invocation Of saints
the doctrine Of purgatory, and whatever else goes
to make up the system Of sacram snt slism found in
the Church Of Rome" The immediate cause Of
Mr.. Morgan's action was the failure OF the General
Convention to put down rituslsm.

Mr.. Buschard further said that the cotton crop
this year will equal that of 1875, which was the larg-
est which has been made since 1860. The net result
Of his statistics is thAt since 1870 the number Of
acres under cultivation in the country has increased
by one-third the lire stock by from oue-quarter to
one-half, the wheat crep by more than one-haf and
other staple products in equally striking proper

are made from pure new white linen, and for 200

from two. to six Of these youngsters
around nearly every house I visited,
and very bright, "handy" and honest
they seem. In return for ther servi-
ccs they are clothed, fed, learned
reading, writing, Christianity and
her handmade Civilization. Quite
an attachment in some instances
seems to exist between master and
servant. This shows n long step for.
ward on the part Of the nalives-an
appreciation of their inferio rity to
civilized people. A people or man
who can bo made to see their or his,
own fmperfections;. is not beyond
hope. Perfectself Satisfaction is the
greatest bar te, improvements, as it is
the most.unmistaka blemarko Of fool.
Had the. Ii berians q little of the
.humbleness and consciousness Of in.
feFiority of the natives, I might have
more hopes of them. So far, the
civilized natives have made little
progress. When they return to their
tribes they have to dof' European

3Fst misfortune that befell TO his
Violation of tlie.customs OF. his ances-
stors, which are more honorcd i'll the
breech' cloth than in the observance
of pantaloons and paper collars, and
"'se ttling" dose of poison would re-
move The progressionist. Their
knowledge Of the reading and writing
of tho English language, too is now
generally employed in aiding The
king in some villainy. During th Ell +
residence with the whites, they usual
fy pick up knowledge of CONNER
cial values, which makes them useful
in facilitating the trading operations
of their tribe. AS the numbers of
these civilized ones increase, how
ever, their influence is bound to be
felt for good. = =

When shrcwd dhana actlrcr finds
that the markell is:bGeoming over
stocKedswith goods suelras he makes,
and that profits are geducing, he sets
his wits and lisachfirsry at different
work. The farmeMwbuld do well to
follow his example, irycars like this,
when the general sudgess ofall crops
sets the agricultural public to appre-
.hending low pcices fqt their products.
Among new thingg that might bs
tried there are nasSuch prominent
articles as corn, wl2eat and cotton,
but the largest profits are not always
i'll the greater staples. There is as
much money for manufacturers in
pins as in print goods, and the farmer
might find as mach in cahbages as in
~ 2 (. SI.5s ssfe J.ie 5ost markets
always those The turtiiest from home.
For instance, hams and !. bacon arc
cheaper in New York than in many g.

ing districts, and some desirable
vegetables arc dcalcr and of poorer
quality in The country districts than
they are here, though many of ours
are sold at IL profit from land ofwhich
Il single acre cos's more than snug

Mississippi. The farmer who will
carefully consult the catalogues Of,
seed merchants and uurscrymcn, look
for markets near home, and keep his
wits as busy as the successful manu-. j,

run that the most money does not
