is an old saying that shelter is feed.


S1le it is true that good shelter will
save large amount of food that stock
! would be compelled otherwise to con-
k&me to save life, yet it will not do to
hrnish only shelter, they must hove
food besides. But If we wish to save
one half or one-third of the food that
would be required TO feed them in GER
tsin condition, We can do so by provid-
ing shelter. That is to say, an animal
exposed to the cold, storms, winds, and
weather. and compelled to sleep on the
cold, frozen or wet ground, viii require
at least one third more food to keep it
in good condition, than it would require
to keep it IN the same condition if in a
warm, dry shed or stable, Y here no such
exposure was experienced. As our
crops have been cut short by the drouth
this year, and it is necessary to save all
we can, the advisability of making

II knew said the learned Touchstone


''when seven justices could not take up q
quarrel; but when the parties were met them
selves, one of them thought but of an if-as,


if you said so then l said SO and they shook
hands and swore brothers." and this, it
seems is not greatly unlike the diplomatic
operations of first class governments in second
class hands. One of our correspondents dis
covered that the case on which our government
rested its claims in the Virginius difficulty
had been laid before the Spanish government
in the form of five specific allegations, which
allegations he sent us, and we gave them to
our readers as the ''6ve points Of our re-
clamation against Spain. AS the HERALD is
the only paper that has correspondents who
get the news we were the only paper that OBJ
tained these points We have, of course, been


roundly abused for it by all the papers that
were less fortunate; al pitching into US to-
gether, some in spirit of lively juvenile fury
and others in the inane impotence Of SUPER
animated drivel. They have actually charged
us with getting up a disturbance and almost
making war, so that we have stopped
once or twice to reflect whether we ourselves
had seized the virginius and killed her COM
pany, or whether or no it was really the
Cubans, and whether after oil that first
offence was not venial by comparison with
the greater one Of publishing all the news in
reference to the subject. Some OF the fine
journalists who touch things so delicately,
and fancy that they serve the country well
by paying compliments to the Spaniard when
he kills our sailors and uses our flag for a
door mat, have even published positive
denial Of our points and the declaration "by
authority" that no such demands had been
made But now it all comes out very nicely.


1t seems our government has presented just
exactly these points to the Spanish govern
ment but they prettily qualified with Touch
stones wonderful word. There is an ''if /" in
tho case. Mr.. Fish has made no such de-
mands. or that we will readily acaui,

him. We indeed might have known
peremptory and virile character slip
into our columns in connection with
any Of his acts. Old Hickory was the stripe
of mortal that made demands in any given
case Mr. Fish il one of the other kind Of
human creatures--one of the boneless sardines
of the diplomatic larder. But all that is to be
changed in our report is the word demands"
Our government has presented the Give
points in the form Of diplomatic memo
randum'' so it is explained from Washington;
and if, upon mature and well-delayed inquiry.
the government can be satisfied that the facts
are as everybody else knows they are, then
Mr.. Fish, like Sue in the ballad, twill wave
his lily hand" or, like the great prestidigita-
teur, wave willow wand, and the diplomatic
memorandum will become o demand. 1t
seems. therefore, that we gave our government
credit for too much straightforward earnestness
and common sense in the first place, and that
the whole press was misled by the ''lie diplo-
matte when it was published from Washing
ton that there were no such ''demands


There are several other of these parts Of
diplomacy in circulation just now. 1t
seems that somebody-we cannot say
who. but none of our correspondents
reported that an attempt to assassinate Gen.
proved canard the government hastened to
contradict it, and even went so far as to
declare that there had been no hostile demon
stration; and this, although it had been cir
cumstantially reported that General Sickles
remaining in Madrid was solely due to the
active mediation of Mr.. Layard Here the
''lie diplomatic seems to figure in several
places And now we have despatch from
London denying that General Sickles ever
expressed the opinion that war was inevitable.
We are not aware who has charged General
Sickles with the expression Of any such opin-
ion, and therefore cannot say who may be
made to feel himself an unworthy and dread
full creature by this denial We doubt il any
such publication has been made in the Amerh
can press. We are sure that no such allega-
ton regarding General Sickles has been made
in our dispatches, and as the other papers
depend upon us for their news we fancy they
have not had the independence or effrontery
to venture such statement for themselves.

succeeded in making the great Shenandoah

that every man, North and South, white and
black, could have heard his words of wisdom.
When he said that while Republican at the
North he was Conservative in Virginia, aud
gave his reasons why this was the case, saw
how wise was our convention in making this
State canvass and separating it entirely from
Federal and Northern politics. Turning to
the colored people, whose friend he has been
not only in word but in deed, he declared that
their interest was inseparably associated with
the success of the Conservative party in No>
vember. Who, added he, will now make in

friends expressed surprise at his political
course, and his answer was, what would you
Pennsylvanians think if all of your revenne
