which enjoys o heavy trade with some Of

Continued Flow OF Specie to France.


We have noticed the wonderful success of
the French loan, and, indeed, it strikes the
whole world with surprise. The strength of
France financially shows that the country is
full of resources and that its credit stands
high Notwithstanding the most disastrous
and exhausting foreign and civil war through
which it recently passed. Now we SEQ by the
telegrams from Paris yesterday that the specie
in the Bank of France had increased eleven
and half millions Of francs during the past
week. The tendency Is, in fact, oil the time
to the accumulation of the precious metals
in France. The secret of this astonishing
state of things financially is found in the ir-
dustry and economical habits of the people in
connection with the great and varied produc-
tions of the country The products OF their
industry are such as find demand in almost
every country on the globe. France exports
these to greater amount in value than she im-
ports, and therefore the balance of trade in
her favor is a continual source of augmenting

he earns must save money and attain high

Yesterday was the feast of the Assumption
Of the Virgin Mary, and, being within the
octave of this festival, the Catholic and ritual
istic churches commemorated the event in a
manner to them highly beftting As Chris
tan mother, q devoted wife, godly, meek
and pure virgin nothing need be added to nor
can be taken from her character as described
in the sacred Scriptures. But there is ten
dency among men in exalting our heroes to
soar above the solid kingdom of facts into the
aerial realms Of fiction and tradition This
cannot be safely done with historic characters
without destroying the influence of our
hero which we seek to bring prom
inently before the world. It is especially
dangerous to thus trife with Bible char
acters. Hence we consider that Rev. DIR. Friel,
Of st. Borromeos church, Brooklyn, erred in
giving such dogmaic prominence to what he
must know and his studious hearers must
know is mere tradition and without Scriptural
foundation in regard to the death of the Virgin
Mary. True, the Bible does not pretend to
give history of the life or death of this holy
mother; but such an event as is described by
DR.. Friel could hardly escape the attention Of
some one Of the sacred historians And if it
be true, as stated, that three days after her
death the Apostles visited her tomb and found
only the linen which had enveloped her CORPSE,
while she had ascended into heaven in fire or
in q fiery chariot and was reunited with her
divine Son, it is almost incredible that thew.
who are so minute and particular about mat
ters Of for less Importance to the Church,
should pass this event by in silence There is
danger that by teaching for doctrines the COM
plandments OF men the faith of some in the
Lord Jesus Christ may be weakened, if not
destroyed. Let Him have the highest place
in human hearts. no matter who has the next.
Per contra, the Rev. J. M. King, of Saratoga,
preaching yesterday on the humanity Of
Christ, declared that ethe invocation Of
saints and the Virgin Mary, as practised by the
Roman Catholic Church, is condemned in its
very principle by the fact that there is but
one mediator between God and men-the
man Christ Jesus. The humanity Of Christ
makes His example inimitable and exalts Him
as a hero above all the heroes Of earth. He is
the ideal man and the ideal hero, and our
humanity may grasp His conquering hand and
be by it lifted up to the throne of God.


Every sane man designs and desires at some
time to be saved and to get to heaven, and the
only difficulty in his mind is as to the time

Peruvian Revolution and Presidential


Murder.


By a special correspondence from Lima,
under date of the 9th of July, we are enabled to
publish in the HERALD to-day full report of
the inception and progress of the revolutionary
movement which was initiated against Presi-
dent Balta, of Peru, and which eventuated in
the murder Of that statesman, the chief of
the executive, in prison, by the representative
of rival house, the leader Of an opposing
political party. The chronicle is of exceed
ing Sadness the misery of its details being re-
lieved in the eyes of civilization merely by
the existence of the coincident fact that the
first outrage and it's concomitant horrors ap-
pear to have been induced and perpetrated by
the jealousy of an imaginative people, made
anxious for the preservation of whatever of
constitutional right remains to them. It
may DO said, indeed, that it was pa
triotism run mad, or the envy Of Casca,
transmitted and triumphant in the mod
ern Bruti Of the South American Re
public. Balta's arrest was accomplished at
the very moment when his daughter was being
prepared for marriage, and house which was
hopeful Of joy was thus made suddenly sen
sible of the most profound grief The foreign
Ministers serving in Lima were amazed; the
people, citizens of the place, were Mortified
They beheld personal power likely to prevail
over their rights. The supreme Office of
State was seized by Sylvestre Gutierrez. Mar
celiano Gutierrez brother of the coup Dicta-

nomination of Pardo for the Presidential
succession by Congress was endangered. The
people acted by counter revolution. They rose
against the Gutierrez family faction and dis
posed of oil of its members by summary DEATH

WOOD ASHES. s.-Dry, clean wood
ashes are worth more than p cents a
bushel to any farmer who wants ma
nure. You can scarcely use them on
any crop without very sensible results.
A handful thrown around the corn
shoots at the first hoeing will greatly
increase their growth, and give them
dark green color. Scattered in the
hill, before the potato is covered, or
before hoeing will have the same re-
suit. Sown bIoadeast on the moving
field at the rate of even five bushels
to the acre, they will greatly increase
the growth and color Of the crop. Be
sides this, their beuefcial results will
continue for many years in succession.
Strewed over young cabbage plants,
squashes, melons, or any of the gar
den vegetables, such as .omatoes,
beets, onions, turnips, or carrots.
wood ashes not only disturb the in :
sects that infest the plants, but have
decided influence on the growth
and quality of the plants. All the
ashes made on the farm should be
collected with care kept dry, and
applied to the crops. Nothing could


be better for the young Eorchard.


Spreading ashes broadcast over the
surface would be more useful than a
mulch for the trees. The roots will
soon find it, if spr cad. 1t is bettor to
supply a small amount annually than
to apply a large amount at a time.
Ashes may be safely used in compOsts
Of loan, muck, straw, dry or fibrous
material, they having the chemical
property necessary to the reduction of
such articles of manure. In conposts
where the drOppings of cattle are a
portion of the material, the ashes
should be applied Immediately before
the compost is to be used, and the
compost heap slightly covered with
soil. The easiest and best way, how
ever, is to apply the ashes in a dry,
unmixed state.-N. Y. Farmer.

Almost aly one knows that the
quality of soil may in great measure
be determined by the timber which
grows upon It, but of the exact nature
indicated by the primitive trees,
people are not so well posted. Mr..
]. B. Smith, of Patmos, Ohio, writes
to the New York Farmers Club OF
this matter, and says that white-oak
land is poor; that red oak and soft
maple also indicate poor land that
shell-bark mostly grows in cold, wet
land; that fiat beach and sugar lands
are good for summer crops and grass,
not for wheat; that rolling beach and
sugar lands, where large poplar and
black walnut abound, are fine grazing
lands, and produce, when new, large
crops of all kinds Of grain except
wheat, where it is winter killed; that
large white oaks and chestnut grow
ing together, and black oak and
hickory, indicate loose subsoIl; and
that lands where the water soon sinks
into the subsoil are much the most
valuable for grain; that a soil that
will raise large crops Of all kinds of
grain, and then clover and timothy,
and after they run out will come in
with green grass and white clover, is
the best.

The SCNFLOwER AS A FIELJ Crop.
From inquiries as to the propriety
of engaging in the culture Of this
plant; it would seem that the attention
of those farmers who are ever on the
lookout for novelties Is directed to it.
Statements Of its great value as farm
crop are now commonly to be seen


in print. While all these may be
true. It must be remembered that the
results Of speeialties similar TO this
are generally disastrous, and the
probability OF farmer getting rich,

l am firmly convinced from the daily

from correspondents that fusion has fallen |
as dead weight upon the Liberal move
ment, and its hopes of success have 40
reasonable basis. There is yet time to call
an independent reform convention, and it
would be participated in by influential and
worthy men. To accept of fusion is to de-
stroy confidence between the different ele-
ments engaged in the Liberal movement,
and once lost it will be hard to regain.


Public opinion is ripe, and it only re-
quifes beginning to cause an Independents
to assume commanding impor-
