A BERLIN correspondent of the
London Telegraph says DR.. Busch
did not have the consent of Bismarck
when he published his remarkable
book. What gave color to the story
that he did have it, was that the
Prince, finding the work in press, sent
friend to revise the proofs aud cut
Objectionable passages out of it. But
the work of excelsior was never done
with sufficient completeness, and the
result has been that great deal OF
the princes frankness has been pub.
lished TO the world which was never
meant to be repeated out of private
conversation. Another story is that
DIR. Busch solicited Bismarck's per-
mission while the work was in manu-
script, and that the manuscript was
submitted to him for approval. As
thus submitted, the book contained q
large number of anecdotes and com.
ments concerning exalted personsges,
the ex-Empress of the French among
them, to the printing of which imper-
alive objection was made. The init.
nation is said to have reached DR..
Busch that, if the proposed book
were published at all, it would be
without Prince Bismarck's authorize.
ton and against bis wish; but that Il
it were published without the pfeyi
GUS excision of the passages especially
objected to, its sale would be prohib,
tied, and DR.. Busch would probably
have reason to regret his enterprise. =
The items thus interdicted were Of
course stricken out.

How to Raise sheep successtaIly.

There is general impression
says q practical shepherd in the Gin.
cinnati Times. among those who do
not know that by means Of sheep !
! great deal may be made out of moth
ing. We may frequently see alb.
surd statements TO the effect that
the "shesp's foot turns all to gold';;
and that there ia no reader or surer
way to tertilize barren field than
to put flock of sheep to pasture
upon the briars and weeds ia it
that. in effect, shsep will live upon
the poorest food and make the rich-
esq manure and are thus the verv
best stock farmer can keep on his
farm. But those "who have been
there" know better. "Sheep are al
ways an uahappy fiock," and many
man who has been deluded by
keeping sheep in the vain hope Of
finding gold in their foot tracks has
found out the truth abont it.
Now, having been through the
mill and turned defeat into victory
BY disabusiug my mind of the oom-
mon fallacits aeout sheep, warn in
tending shepherds that there is no
other domestic animals that needs
better food or care for profitable
thrift than sheep; that out of their
finely grinding manure mill comes
nothing that is not first put into the
hopper; that yet with proper care
and skill well selected flock of the
right kind of sheep 10 the right place
canase madezo pay 100 per cent. on
their cost every year. 1t is trne
that flock will clear q field of
weeds, briars and rubbish aud will
enrich it; but 1t will not live upon
those alone. To relish this rough
heritage the sheep must be fed liber-
ally upon supplementary food such
as bran. meal. cut clover. grass or
green corn fodder, and always q
pint q day per head of lipseed oil.
cake, meal, bran, or other grain food.
Then, with this alloy, the sleeps
foot will taKe on golden tinge and
will edge with gold the farmers
pocket. by making his poor lands
rich, giving him az the same time q
lamb or two and fleece every year.
A field may be enriched too, by SOW
ing rape seed at the rate of q peck
per acre and when the crop is of q
thrifty growth the sheep may be
turned in to eat it down through
the late Fall and early Spring, thus
fitting it for a crop of corn, oats, or
roots next year. Bat the sheep
must have their pint day of bran
or oil meal even then.
The fact is, sheep are manure
spreaders rather than manure ma.
kers. We feed them with the ma.
terial, they take their pay out of it,
and give US back . the remainder
transferred into substance of equal
value (because it s more availaple)
with that which they received and
they get fat mean while in doing it.
Just as we give the mint a bag of
gold dust and we get back exactly
the same weight in gold dollars,
while the coiners have fed upon it;
but without the dust we get no dol
lars-so with the sheep, if we don't
feed them with the materials needed
to make fat for themselves and rich
manure for Us they will be as M.
profitable as Pharoh's lean kline. And
his the truth about it."

The Adulterationo Of Refined Sugar,

Prof. Chandler has submitted to
the New York Board Of health the
results Of bis examination of sam

ars, in obedience to the resolutions
adopted by the Chamber Of Com
merce asking the Board of Health to
ascertain whether the sugar refiners
adulterated their sugars. In his re-
port Prof. Chandler says: aIn sew.
eral of these sugars we have found
tin salts and free acids, probably

cial glucose. While the amount Of
tin or acid found in some of these
samples was small, yet in one . glo-
bule OF metal was obtained in two
ounces of sugar. In any of these
cases there is no excuse for the ad;
dition of tin salts to the sugar. They
are used solely for the purpose Of

r death Of Ashburton Webste

The death Of Ashburton Webster.
a grandson of Daniel Webster, will
net attract SO much attention as 1t
once would have done but it reminds
rs how fast the descendants of that
distinguished man are, according to
the old rule, sdisapp caring. Three Of
the great orators children, Charles.
sulia and Edward, died during MIR.
Webster's lifetime; Fletcher, who
fell August 20, 1862, at Bull Run,
alone of all his childr en- survived the
father. The name of the young gem
tlemar just deceased suggests the
more brilliant period Of his grand
fathers career, when, as Secretary Of
State, herwas engaged in negotiating
with Lord Ashburton that treaty
which settled the affair of tho Caroline
and Mcleod, fixed the northeastern
boundary and adjusted the right oil
search. The relations between Mr..
Secretary Webster and Lord Ashbur.
ton were privately Of the most friend
" character; and Il was for this rexs
SOD, and with some idea Of coupling
the names historically associated with
o great public transaction, that the
grandson was called Ashburton.

GOING FOR TALMADGE.
The Prcsbytery OF Brooklyn Set About an In
vcstigation Of his Msthods.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-The Brooklyn
Presbytery met this afternoon for the
purpose Of calling Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmadge, pastor of the Brooklyn
Tabernacle, to account for wandering
from the prescribed lines of Presbyte-
rianism and thereby bringing religion
into contempt. There was large
attendance, and the friends of Tai
madge rallied around him in force.
Rev. DR.. Crosby said he had consult.
ed with three members of the New
York Presbytery in regard to offering
resolutions, and they had exhorted
him to do 50. He therefore offered
the following:
WHEREAS, Rev. T. Dewitt Talmadge, D. D.,
is charged by common fame with falsehood
and deceit, and with using Improper methods
in preaching which tend to bring religion into
contempt, and
WHEREAS, It is the duty of the Presbytery
to protect the good name Of its members when
they are unjustly assaled, and to subject those
who offend to the proper discipline, therefore,
Resolved, That q committee consisting of
three ministers and two elders be appointed to
| Investigate the nature and extent of the COM
| mon fame referred to in the preamble and
report to the Presbytery what, il any, further
! action shall be taken.
There was considerable discussion
as to whether the pastor of the Tab
ernacle had been guilty of the charg.
es, and whether it was worth while
to enter into an investigation.
Rev. DR.. Cuyler offered the fol.
lowing:
Resolvsd, That committee of four members
of the Presbytery. two ministers and two eld>
| ers, be appointed to visit the Tabernacle
Presbyterian Church, ana make careful inquiry
in regard to the matters of common report in
reference 70 Sabbath worship and in reference
| to the late movement to remove the debt upon
said church; and also that the COMMITTEES OF
| inquiry be enjoined to conducs their inter-
view with the utmost frankness and brotherly
kindness, and to report to the Presbytery at
an early day.
Rev. DR.. TaImadge offered a reso-
luton that they go into the invests.
cation at once. His resolution was
withdrawn. DR.. Cuyler's was voted
down. and Rev. DR.. Crosby's adopt.
ed.
The moderator then appointed as
such committee, Rev. DR.. Crosby,
Rev. DR.. Wells and Rev. DIR. McClel-
Ian, and Elders Babcock and Nc.
