Riel, who headed an armed revolt
against the Canadian government, and
who was arrested. convicted and SEN
fenced to be hung, was executed on
Monday last. Much sympathy was
gotten up for Rel, and influences
brought to bear to secure mitigation
of his sentence, but without avail.
Had like effort been made to secure
a milder punishment for criminal
convicted for like offence in the
United States, the sentence would prob
ably not have been carried into effect.
Treason and conspiracy against the
government in all civilized countries
is made punishable with death. There
were scores of men who led armies in
rebellion to overthrow this govern
ment little over twenty years ago,
but not one of them was punished as
the law demanded, but, on the contrary.
many have been elected to Congress,
and rewarded with the best govern
ment appointments under the admins
tration. In any other government
these leaders of rebellion would have
suffered the extreme penalty of the
law or been banished from the country
If crimes Of this magnitude are allowed
to go UNPUBLISHED. what is there to de-
ter at any future time armed rebellion
to destroy the government?

UNITED STATES CHEESE.

For q year or two, notably last season,
Canadian cheese was purchased In pref
erence to that made by the United States
dsirymen, and that it is so is not hard to
understand. There q cheese is either
whole milk or nothing, and here it is as
q rule SKINNED to a greater or less ex-
tent, or nothing. One of the real troubles
OF tins country is not supplying milk to
factory that is above suspicion, and
then demanding No. cheese of the
maker and holding him responsible.
IneTe should be an absolute divorce be-
tween butter and cheese making in the
same factory, from May until November,
at least. There are other things in the
way. Patrons force makers to make
cheese for low compensation, and they
retaliate by making moist cheese that
viii show high average. Pay a man
good price and then insist on solid, but
not dry cheese and good favored one.
Curds are often sailed far too soon. The
whey should be well drained off before
sailing and less acid should be developed
IN the yats, and more in the drainers.
Salt is also urevenly worked into the
curds, and tae result is far from salts
factory. Another bad feature is, that
curing rooms are very faulty, and there
il no possibility of keeping them in q
low, even temperature, which is one of
the secrets in the curing of cheese.
There must be three important features
introduced into cheese making south of
the lakes, or Canada viii take yet another
step In advance of us, and these features
are more cream in the cheese, more skill
in the making, and q more studied at
tempt upon the part of the farmer to
furnish even better milk.-John Gould,
Aasrora Station, Ohio.

ton at Richland Center on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
the last week in January, 1886. Mr..
w. Fl. Morrison, President of the az
ISOLATION. says that the question of
butterine will receive special attention,
and that one of two things viii be the
result. Either it will be determined
that the legitimate dairy business must
be protected by legislation, or the door
will be thrown open wide, in which
case the great body of dairymen will
mix their own butter before it goes to
market. If this is the true situation
of the dairy interest in this state. The
wisest course for dairymen to pursue
they must judge. If present legisla-
ton is insufficient to guard against the
adulteration Of butter, it is a misfor-
tune; there can be no enactments to
remedy the wrong before the winter of
1887, the sessions now being biennial.
The National Butter and Cheese Con-
yention held in Chicago last week. con-
tinuing in session four days, was favor
ed with chemical analysis of the
compounds that enter into the princi-
pal authorizations which pass for but
ELECTROMAGNETIC and butterine.
Mr. L. Fagersten, chemist OF estab-
lished reputation. performed this SER
vice.. Both kinds OF this spurious
butter contain poisonous qualities, es-
pecially the first mentioned. No per-
son who has any proper care for health
would for moment consent to use
these spurious kinds of butter, after
knowing the poisonous properties they
contain. 1t is not to be presumed that
the great mass Of our farmers would
resort to the manufacture of adulterat-
ed butter. If only very few engage
in it, those few tend to throw suspicion
n innocen parties.

CANON FARRAR AND HENRY
WARD BEECHER.

1t was quite an event in Chicago
that two of the most distinguished
preachers of the present day visited
that city the past week at the same
time-Canon Farrar, from London,
and Henry Ward Beecher, of Brooklyn.
N. Y. The former is the most widely
known clergyman of the Church of
England, and the latter has for forty
years been accounted the most original
thinker and brilliant pulpit orator in
America. Mr.. Beecher has unques-
tionably lost friends and admirers be-
cause of his political course, but still
no other preacher draws audiences
like unto his. During him pastorate Of
more than a third of century in
Brooklyn he has attracted large congre-
cations; many of his regular hearers
for years have been considered among
the most intelligent and useful citizens
of New York and Brooklyn. Had he
been only a fiashy. sensational preacher,
as some of his later critics declare him,
it would be unreasonable to believe
he could have retained in his church
for 80 many years the men who might
be named of high standing, learning
and christian enterprise. But il is said
Mr.. Beecher has deviated from the
faith Of the church. This is matter
of opinion on which there is wide room
for differences. No movement by dis
satisfied church people has been made
to convict him of heresy, nor is it prob.
able there ever will. 1t might be said
of Canon Farrar that he does not hold
to beliefs which most of the christian
denominations regard important, but
he is cordially received by christians
of different names. The day is past
when belief in non-essentials is rigid
ly insisted upon: the life is better evil
dence of christian character than a
creed.
Canon Farrar delivered two interest
ing lectures while in Chicago, and
preached last Sunday evening in Trini-
ty Episcopal church to an audience
filling the church 20 its utmost capacity.
Henry Ward Beecher preached in the
Centenary Methodist Episcopal church.
The Inter Ocean says the church was
crowded to overlooking long befor 6
the hour of service.

tory, and it would not be strange if
there has been much profitless specula-
ton on tins subject. Lyman Abbott,
the scholarly editor of the Christia,s
Onion, has an article, giving some SEN
sible views in respect TO this incident
in the history of Jonah; but it is too
long to be transferred to these columns.
The conclusion arrived at in the article
referred to is. in substance, that scrip
ture which cannot be understood or
satisfactorily explained should not
therefore be rejected as untrue: that a
belief or honest disbelief of the story
of Jonah, as recorded, does not decide
christian character

COURTHOUSE AND JAZZ.

The county court house, Jail and
sheriff's dwelling have been duly &C
cepted by the Board of County Super
visors, and are now the property of the
county, No comment was made in
the TELEGRAPH on these structures
during the progress Of their erection,
it being deemed unnecessary. The
supervisors Of the several towns, who
are the peoples representatives. were
the proper persons to judge of the
buildings. their style of architecture and
their completeness of finish, and need
ed not the opinion of the newspapers
whether the work was properly done.
Every taxpayer in the county now
owna property in the county build
ings. and has voice in debating their
control. The taxpayers, representa-
tiyes. for aught that appears from the
record of their proceedings during their
late session, are satisfied with the
faithful performance of the work By
the contractors. The loDg-talked Of
need of a new court house and Jail has
at last been realized, and these edifices
will probably outlast the life of any
one now living in the county, unless
destroyed by Are, cyclone or revolution.

In order to manipulate great many

erai use with any degree of success,
there should be an equal training of

left hand entirely. Tie flute and its
correlatIves, and not few of the in
struments of percussion, demand an
equal training of the hands for proper
execution. may add that little at.
tention in this direction, in good sea-
son, would, in my opinion. facilitate
in our art.

THANKSGIVING.

Thursday, the 26th of November. will
occur the annual Thanksgiving, in pur-
suance of fhe proclamation of the
President Of the United States. Gov
Rusk, of this state, and the Governors
Of most other states. The observance
Of day of thanksgiving and praise to
God dates back to the early history of
this country, and no doubt will be con-
tinued while the nation endnres. The
custom for the appointment of such
day had its beginning in New Eng
land. Its observance for time was
limited, but soon began to widen; year
after year other states adopted it, and
now all, or nearly all. have come into
! its observance. There was for a long
time prejudice In states outside of
New England against keeping
Thanksgiving as religious day. it be
ing regarded Puritan custom. There
was in early times a feeling against
New England customs: many stories
Were invented in respect to their
superstiti0ns, fanatical beliefs and
practices. The effect of these silly fic-
tions have in some quarters not been
entirely effaced up to the present time.

ing on Sunday, and it is possible there
were some ignoramuses to believe it.
To deny that the spirit of New Eng
land institutions peTmeated this coun-
try with educational and moral
influences which have tended to elevate
the people is to deny the facts Of his
tory.
1t the recommendations in several
Thanksgiving proclamations to remem-
Der the poor on the day of general
feasting were faithfully observed,
many families would be made happy
who otherwise will fare but scantily,
while their neighbors indulge in lux
urious living. There is too often a
disposition to regard the poor as the
victims Of misfortune brought upon
themselves by their own fault. While
this may be true in many cases, lit by
no means applies to all. Even if it
did, it would be no reasonable excuse
for withholding the hand of kindness.
If the curse of intemperanoe has in
vaded the family circle land brought
suffering on innocent children, they
should not be left uncared for; charity
has broader mission. The year has
been crowned with plenty; there is
enough for all and to spare. 1t is a
christian duty TO spend Thanksgiving
in the manner recommended, and while
every one should esteem it a privilege to
attend some place of worship on that
day, it is still more pleasurable to adj
minister to the necessities of some
poor. needy family.

TO PRE- VENT TOBACCO EX-
HA LISTING THE SOIL.

The tobacco crop has always been
considered an obstacle to agricultural
improvement, and this not so much be-
cause it exhausts the soil, as because it
is usually the petted crop of the tobacco
grower, receiving all of the supplies of
manure that can be collected upon the
farm, while the other crops are stinted.
1t is great monopolist of our manure
and of our attention. If any crop is
neglected it is not the tobacco crop.
That must be cultivated and fertilized,
even though the corn is wrapped in
grass, or the hay crop suffers for want
of cutting. The tobacco crop is certain
ly not great exhauster of the soil, but
occupying all the land that the planter
can annually manure, it takes from the
other fields what is partly their due and
leaves them in condition of sterility.
In this way it has established bad rep
utation, but it is the bad management
of the farmer himself that has brought
about the exhaustionof the soil, and not
the draughts made upon it by the tobac-
co crop.
If the fertility of the tobacco lots were
preserved by blowing under clover,
peas or other green crops, then the ma
nure might be more evenly distributed
over the farm with very different results.
AS soon as field of tobacco is cut the
stubble should be dug up or plowed I'M
der, otherwise suckers will spring up
and draw largely upon the soil. 1t often
happens that these crops of suckers
are so rank that they do more to ex-
haust the soil than the regular crop of
tobacco. Besides this they form ref
uge for worms which feed unchecked
and finally descend into the ground to
bear brood of worms for the ensuing
year. These suckers also are in the
way of drilling wheat, and clog up the
drill to such an extent that they greatly
hinder the work of seeding wheat.-Jor-
don Times.

MATURING APPLE ORCHARDS

Last year most of the apple orchards
through the country bore profuse crops,
and prices were consequently low.
Many were unsold and unused. This
year the supply is scant and prices fair.
Fruit-growers desire to avoid these. ex-
tremes, and to equalize the supply
through each year. Ifthis could be done,
We should not have asurplus one season
and dearth the next. Nothing will &C.
complish this result so well as the use of
barn manure. Top-dress the orchard
broadcast every autumn, or apply the
manure every alternate year. As the
present is the barren year in most 10
calities, now is the time for applying the
top-dressing, so as to give the trees more
vigor next season, to compensate for the
exhaustion of the coming heavy crops.
Farmers generally do not give their
orchards sufficient care and attention,
but let them take care of themselves.
Even those who have cultivated them
while young, and thus given them @.
good start, often entirely neglect them
when they reach good bearing age and
are seeded to grass. Then is the time of
all others when they are benefited with
manure and if good crops are obtained
in the odd year, they will be less liable
to overbear in the even years. Country

BEER DRINKING AND INSUR-
AVCE.

The Christian Union notices the state
ment Of Rev. Father Cleary, of this
city, made at the National Temperance
Convention in Philadelphia. that the
Northwestern Life Insurance Com
pany refuses to grant policy to any
one employed in brewery. The Union
adds to this the testimony of President
Green, of the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance Company, who, in q recent
address at Hartford, said: From care
full information gathered by his COM
pany. the conclusion has been arrived at
that beer is quite az Injurious as
whisky; that while its evil influences
may be slow, it is nevertheless sure. and
that habitual beer drinkers usually died
of acute diseases.

Archdeacon Farrar, of estminster
Abbey, London, whose advent TO this
country has been before noticed in the
TELEGRAPH, has addressed large :
semhles of people on the moral and
reformatory questions of the day, and
his words have everywhere been re-
ceived with profound respect. He
spoke before large audience in New
York last week on the subject OF tenn
perance, at which many Of the promi-
nent temperance clergJmen of differ
ent religious bodies were present. He
made an admirable address, in which
he quoted, with approval, the language
employed by Gladstone in the House
of Commons, who declared that the
evils wrought by intoxicating drinks
were more continuous +" than the three
great historic scourges war, pestilence
and famine. The clergy Of the En-
gliSh established church have been
charged as given to wine and other in
toxicants. Cannon Farrar, who doubt
less represents the most advanced por-
tion of the English church, is as
pronounced for total abstinence as
any American clergyman.
