Ensl sh Farmers.

1t may be from fear of America, it
may be from the long continuance of un
profitable harvests, it may he from the
rise in the expenditures, especially upon
labor, or it may even be from increased
intelligence, but there is hopelessness
about farmers complaints which ex-
perienced men, familiar with their ways,
never remember before. They hardly
look for any improvement. They do not
speak of the bid times as exceptional.
They do not, apong each other, talk of
prices rs sure to improve. Above all,
they throw up their farms on apparently
light provocation Experienced land
an indisposition to haggle, sort of
determination to make none
but low offers. and to stick
to them. The tenants, as they say,
seem not to want the farms, and make
offers too low to be entertained, in a
kind of spiteful sport. Very often no
offers at all can be obtained, and the
land is either thrown upon the land
lords hands or goes ont of cultivation.
The latter occurrence was formerly most
unusual in Great Britain and seems al
most impossible; but there is no reason
to doubt the south and statements made
that in every county in the south and
east large numbers of farms formerly
yielding good rents are lying idle, the
landlords being unwilling to cultivate
for themselves or able to bear tenn
porary loss. We know in our own ex-
perience of district in which eleven
farms, poorish to fair as to soil, are de-
serted and untitled. and read notices of
an extraordinary character in the way
of temptation to tenants. or farms III
the landlords hands, and of farms bro
ken into two or three, there is no end,
while land in modest patches has sunk
in value in degree which suggests in
kind of dread among tenants as well as
land buyers. There is feeling OF hope
lessness, in fact abroad among farmers
of the better class, and of reluctance to
remain in the business, which OF itself
may produce important effects, willing
ness TO farm having been an important
element in the trade. 1t differed from
all others in it's attraction for class
those who preferred country life and
were content not only with modest
profits, but with almost an entire alb
sence of those chances which in many
walks of life are so attractive. Now that
willingness has disappeared. - London

An Intelligent Snake.

81 want to tell YOU how my child's life
was saved, up in the mountains, the other
day." said an old farmer who came into
the Appeal Office Yesterday. You don't
mind an item with o snake in IT, do
you?"
Hearing no reply the cid man contin-
ued: Last Tuesday | was coming down
from the lake with my little girl, when l
stopped the horse and got ont to get
drink at spring. my bottle having given
out While | was drinking, the horse
got frightened and dashed down the road
with the child in the wagon. l only have
twelve little girls, sir, and wouldn't
spoil the set for worlds. Well, l gave
up the horse and child for lost, but fol-
lowed them up, and presently found the
horse right on the edge of precipice at a
dead standstill. He couldn't move an inch.
When | got closer l thought that
strap had caught round his fetlock, and
one end had also caught round n tree. 4
went to pull on the strap, and / jumped
about ten feet. but bust me clear open if
it wasn't rattlesnake that was holdin'
the horse. He had wound his tail
around the horses leg, and his neck was
turned three times around sapling, and
his teeth were fast in the wood. He was
twelve feet long. sir. for l measured him
right then and there. A few pounds
more of strain would have snapped the
snake clear in two. Igot the horse away
from the precipice, and might as well
tell YOU the whole truth the snake wasn't
over five feet long, for when l took the
strain off he came right back to his nat
ural size. You know how elastic snake
is. The child was four years old, and
wasn't frightened in the least. If you
put this item in the weekly, send me four
extra copies; want EN- for relatives In
the East. - Carson Appeal.

why Lincoln Apo. nted HIN.

The Rev. James Shrigley, who is well
known here, was appointed by Presi-
dent Lincoln hospital chaplain during
the war. Pending his confirmation by
the United States Senates, a self-cOnsti-
tuted committee of the Young Mems
Christian Association called on the Pres
ident to protest against the appointment.
After Mr., Shrigley's namo had been
mentioned, the President said
"Oh, yes, have sent it to the Senate.
His testimonials are highly satisfactory,
and the appointment will no doubt be
confirmed at an early day"
The young men replied But. sir.
we have come not to ask for the appoint
ment but to solicit you to withdraw the
nomination on the ground that Mr..
Shrigley is not evangelical in his senti-
ments."
"Ah!" said the President, THAT alters
the case On what part Of doctrine is
the gentleman unsOund?"
HE does not believe in endless pun
ishment," was the reply.
"Yes, added another of the committee
she believes that even the Rebels then.
selves will finally be saved, and it viii
never do to have man with such view
hospital chaplain"
The President hesitated to reply for a
moment, and then responded with an
emphasis they will long remember; III
that be so, gentlemen, and there be any
way under Heaven whereby the Rebels
can be saved, then, for Gods sake, let
the man be appointed!'
He was appointed Reading (Pa.)

Cheese Made from Potatoes.

A foreign paper says that cheese is
made from potatoes in Thuringia and
Saxony. After having collected a guam
tity Of potatoes of good quality, giving
the preference to large white kind.
they are boiled in caldron, and, after
becoming cool. they are reduced to
pulp, either by means Of CRATER or
mortar. To five pounds of this pulp,
which ought to be ~ equal rs posi- Bile,
is added one pound Of sour milk and the
necessary quantity Of salt. The whole
is kneaded together and the mixture
covered up and allowed to lie for three
or four days, according to the season.
At the end of this time it is kneaded
anew, and the cheeses are placed IN Int
tie bask cts, when the superhuous moist
ure escapes. They are then allowed to
dry in the shade, and placed in layers in
large vessels, where they must remain
for fifteen days. The older these cheeses
are the more their quality improves:
Three kinds are made. The fist and
most common is made a. detailed above;
the second, with four parts Of potatoes
and two parts Of curded milk; the third,
with two parts of potatoes and four parts
Of COW or eve milk. These cheeses have
this advantage over other kind-they do
not engender worms; and they keep
fresh for . number Of years, provided
they are placed in dry situAton and N
well-closed vessels.

The rains OF the past ten days have

PRAYER VS. wHIsK z.

The remark OF Dr.. Bliss, that whisky
rather than PRAYER had saved the life OF
N { President, stirred up the ire Of many
of the ministers of prominent churches
Oh Sunday last, and provoked quite an
extensive discussion of the subject.
A Washington minister struck the
medical gentleman right hard when he
said that Con might have used whisky
as means, Just IS he sometimes has
used the Devil as a means Of accom-
plishing his purposes.
In the line Of the above idea another
minister philosophical as follows:
ave should always be prepared to
leave 3 sovereignty with God as to the
meansh he NAV employin answering pray
er. I do not believe that God usually
answers prayer by violating or changing
His own laws mean physical laws. A
violent, capracious interference with
them, even in answer to prayer, might
work irremediable mischief. But surely
God is not precluded from answering
PRAYER, because he has instituted q wise
economy in mis- physical government. l
believe that God commonly an.
syers prayer by natural means
anpointed for this purpose
from the very beginning, when he
gave to mind and matter their laws and
Arranged the objects with these laws for
the accomplishment OF His benef-
cent ends. Tor the encouragement of vir-
tne and the disbursement OF vice, and
among Others, to provide an answer TO

the patient by an origlna strength 81
constitution, or by the well timed sppii-
cations of q remedy. Then, too, the
PRAYER and its answer we're In the very
counsel OF God; and u there had not
been the one there would not have e
me other. The believer is in need OF 3
blessing and he asks il, snd he hnds that

prompted the PRAYER, has provided the
means of granting what he needs"
uaThis. he apprehsnded, was the sim
Meat solution Of the whole question and
one which did no violence 10 any OF the
