WASHINGTON'S WESTERLY RE
 TREAT FROM LONG ISLAND.

While the men labored on the in- trenchments. he quietly gathered boats and seeing on the 18th that the British meant to come on his rear with their fleet, he embarked his whole army that night and crossed successfully to New York. It was a masterly retreat. In the face of a strong enemy lying within gunshot, with a hostile fleet close at hand. He got 5000 men into boats, ferried them across a broad stream with strong tides and currents, and left behind only few guns. The wind was light and thick mist helped to cover the movement. Washington, in the saddle and on foot for forty eight hours, watched over everything, and was the last to leave. As he fol- lowed his heavily laden boats through the kindly mist and darkness he must have felt a sense of profound relief, for he had grasped fortunate chance and had rescued his army from an almost hopeless position. The Ameri- cans had been beaten in two heavy skirmishes, but the American army had escaped. It was possible to make the raw militia who had been defeated in their first open action into veterans, for they lacked nothing for becomin g
 good soldiers but experience. But if the only Americans army in the field had been destroyed at the very outset of the contest, the Revolution would have been in great peril. Washing tons one thought was to hold his army together and fight as often as he could but whatever happened, that army
 which he commanded must never be dissolved. He had fought in an i'm
 possible position, been beaten, and saved his army from the brink Of des- truction, taking full advantage of the
 mistakes of his opponents. Now, on Manhattan Island, he faced the enemy
 once more, ready to fight again--From

the advantages gained were lost in short time. In Spain, however, the Moors cultivated the breed of sheep in the remote valleys protected by in- accessible ranges of mountains and thus laid the foundation for the re- nown which later on attached to Spain for the cultivation of Merinos. In course of time Spain became a power full nation, with influence all over Eu- rope, and paid attention not only to the preservation of. the Merino breed but to it's improvement by judicious crossing win sheep from other coun- tries.-Correspondence Michigan Far mer

ORIGIN OF THE MERINO.

Though the Merino sheep have for some centuries been cultivated in Spain this was not their original home as is supposed by many writers who have given their opinion as to what may have happened in former times
 When historical facts are in existence 1t is much better to refer to these than to venture upon conjectures, and classical literature furnishes us there fore With the means of ascertaining the facts with reference to the Merino sheep This breed of sheep is neither Of Spanish nor Arabian origin. but came from Greece. The ancient Greeks had neither cotton nor silk and very little linen, but they had sheep, and consequently wool, which later fur n1shed them with the material for their garments. As arts and 1uxuries were cultivated the desire for finer ana more costly garments arose. and tnls stimulated the cultivation of finer WOOL It was soon discovered that protection from the inclemency of the weather improved the quality of the wool, and the sheep were therefore in many instances covered with cloths to keep them warm. This extra attention was soon rewarded with success foy the wool of the sheep so cared for be- came finer and more silky. and with continued attention not only the wool but the breed was improved.
 One of the principal forms for a su- perior breed was at Parent, on the sea coast. Like other Greek arts this art or cuitIvating finer wool passed from the Greeks to the Romans, who again carried 1t with them in their conouests ana among other countries to Spain where on account of the variety of eli mate It soon assumed considerable pro- portions Cotunella, the greatest au- tnoflty on Roman agriculture tells us that ms uncle Hespania improved the Iarentlne sheep with rams brought rom North Africa, and thus obtained renewal of strength which was leay- Ing the breed, the wool acquiring the Wh1teness Of the African ram and the hneness of the original race. The i'm provement thus introduced made some breeds so valuable that some rams were paid for at the rate of eaoO. ar enormous price at time when money was considerably dearer than now when Rome was captured by barbar
 ian hordes no one took an interest ir the breeding of Merinos, and most O.
