FLOWERS FORBIDDEN AT FUNEuALs.-
The ecclesiastical Synod. which held its
sittings in St. Patrick's Cathedral New
York. and whose deliberations came to
close on the 9th Of last month, issued de-
crces which are now in the hands of the
printer and will be published about the
middle of this mouth. They are not to be
sent to Rome for ratification, as has been
supposed, for they relate to matters OF NOR
ais and not of faith, and therefore do not
require Roman ratification. Those most
interesting to the public are decree for
forbidding priests TO attend dramatic oper.
attic performances in theatres, one forbdding
clerical attendance at race courses and one
making the wearing of the rabba or Roman
collar obligatory upon p.iests There is
also decree prohibiting the use of flowers
at funerals, except in the case Of young
children, where they may be appropriately
used as typifyiug the innocence and purity
Of the dead. None of the DEGREES deal with
the amusements of the laty.

often heard him and all his great cotempo-
rarieS speak, but, although sometimes over
wheminS, he was not the equal of Mr.
Preston. Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Choate
Sargent s. Prentiss, and I'll the other great
orators OF that day had each his own pecu-
liar style, and each was different from the
other; but Preston seemed to combine
all.
Il once witnessed scene at Macon,
Georgia, which can never forget, aud
which, ridiculous as it seemed afterwards,
furnished for that very reason the most
conclusive and striking proof of Mr..
Preston's absolute control over an audience.
[ have thought of it thousand times, and
| know Of no parable, to it,
"lt was in the Clay campaign of 1s44.--
An immense audience, fifteen or twenty
thousand, had assembled to hear Preston.
n large stage had been erected, which was
crowded with prominen: persons and the
multitude was packed around it, There
was the usual buzz and confusion incident
to such occasions, until after Preston rhad
been speaking few moments, when it be-.
gan to subSide, aud soon there was a. dead
silence, except the music of that wondcrful
voice He was in fine condition for his
work. and went at it in his best style. The
silence seemed to intensity as the tide of his
eloquencc poured over the dense mass of
enchanted listeners. With the swell Of his
sonorous voice the audience seemed to rise
on tiptoc, aud to sink back again with its
ebbing cadences; aud again they swayed
with the sweep Of his arm like wheat field
to the breeze. At length, in magnificent
hnrst of -insni-ation with bis long arm
raised high, his eyes flashing, and the mul.
titude hanging breathlcssly upon his words,
he seized the brown wig which he wore !,
held it up over his shining bald head, aud
still soaring in his spcndd flight, replaced
it cross ,otse and scared on and, sir assure
you that there was not, in that vast audience
the least ripple of laughter at this most ri
diculous performance, but, on the countra-
ry no one seemed even to notice it, SO COM
pletely entranced was every listener."-

Taking the human race as q whole, says
an exchange, it is observed that races liv-
ing almost exclusively on meat have been
the most savage ones. Nothing is so apt to
transform huwan being into savage as
to pay thirty cents pound for roast and
then find 1t almost as fought as leather.

be relied upon, but are not subjected to the
losses and disappointmcnts which 50 often
happen to cultivators who place their entire

This is the season when all engaged in
SAID culture should attend to the compost

prosperity. Speaking of Compost" and
now to prepare it, a contemporary in the

applicable in the South and Southwest.
1t pertinon'ly says that many farmers man.

thus build up oblong squares and let rc>

the mass has gone through fermentation
and combination, ard presents mound of
tertilizing matter better than small cold
mine would be to tho proprietor of the farm.
But we want to see these compost heaps
in the garden, aud there is no reason why
they should not be there as well as upon
the farm. There is rubbish enough in the
garden, with the assistance of leaves, some
mould from the woods, if a,tanable /; if not
from portions Of the premises where it can
be spared; scrapings from the turnpike,
manure from the stable, and every attaiua.

assistance. n half dozen loads of excellent
manure will be man afacturcd by the time
it is wanted in the spring, without iucur>
ring cent of actual expense, and at the same
time tho garden will be cleared of its vines,
stalks, weeds, sc.
These suggestions are timely aud worthy
the attention and action of all interested
in the culture of the soil, whether in field
or garden. The making of fertilizers at home
is an important and profitable industry, and
no one should neglect that great source of
large crops and consequent prosperity, the
compost heap. There are various other
sources of fertility which it is the peculiar
province Of the wise cultivator to utilize
but which we will not attempt to even

How TO IMPROVE THE HoRsr's WALK

How TO IMPROVE THE HoRsE's WALK.
We will take, to begin with, horse of
tho s!owest walking pace, say about three
miles per hour. TO Improve this, put him
alongside of a horse, either led or in harness,
whose walk is about three and half miles
per hour; and when the three miller has
come up to this, then pu' him alongside of
four miller. and so go on increasing until he
has reached the utmost limits of pace it is
possible to get out of him: Af:er this in
riding or driving keep him up steady to this
best pace, and in process of time it may be-
come almost natural and easy to him.
The rsasont tsays American contemporary
it is best to begin with at: cmpt to only in ,
crease his pace haf:a mile per hour is, if
we tried at first 90 do it fastc. than this the
horse would be constantly breaking into
trot to keep up with his companion,
and IN consequences, his walk would not be
improved The object is to keep him stead.
lIy to walk, and not permit him to break
it. Trotting horses arc improved iu the
same method; they arc kept as strictly to
this pace as possible whenever exercised
or used, and not allowed to gallop. If they
break into gallop at any time on being
urged to do their utmost on the trot.
they are instantly checked and brought back
to the trot. But if horse is naturally
slow walker, it will require considerable
time and no little patience to much Increase
his speed at this gait.
n reliable fast walker must be Torn so
and the best, quickest, and in fact cheapest
way to get at this is to breed him. For
the purpose, select the fastest walking st i.
lion to be found, and breed him to the fast
est walking mare obtainable As general
rule these will drop fast walking colts. The
fastest of these when grown should be se-
lcctcd for breeding and so so on rearing
and selecting till the breed is as we'll cstab
lished for fast walking as those of fast trot.
terS or racers now are
Somo n,oy think that special breeding to
obtain fast walkers is not necessary; and
that any sort Of a horse can be trained to it.
Such doubtcrs have only to carefully CON
pare the anatomy Of u fast walking horse
alongside Of that Of slow walk.r, to be
convinced Of the necessity Of breeding for
this special purpose, tor the difference be-
tween the two in various nice points will
be found considerable in bone, muscle, ten.
don, cord, and to SUN up, in general struc-
turc. Place heavy farm or cart horse
alongside Of fast trottcr or racer, and see
how very different they arc in make up
and how impossible it would be to increase
the pace of the former, either in a trot or
run. to that of the two latter. The thing
ID out of the qucstion-all the teaching
and training Of the world could not do it.
Now, like, as general rule, begcts
like, and if you want fast walkers, in order
tc obtain them Of q natural, easy, re-
liable gait they must be bred from fast walk
ing parents. .-Lon0on LiUe Stock Journal
