Xtomm. dAOIIISTRAWN—THE GREAT ILLINOIS FARMER. Mr. Strawn was in many respects a re .. arkable man, and widely known as an ex ensive and most successful farmer and 1 and-owner—one whose career is worthy of ecord. His biographer says of Mr. Strawn, hat he started in farming and cattle buy 's at an early age, with a captital of only fty cents in silver, yet came to he the ing farmer of the West,—widely and avorably known' for his great energy, in . ustry and enterprise. Mr. Strawn's acres spread over almost -hole counties, and it was no unusual thing or him to BA a field of wheat or plant orn over a space twice the size of a Ger .. an kingdom. . He had sheep and kine pon a.thousand hills—or would have had, the hills had been there. He built pretty ~ uch the whole of the village of Jackson ille ; he represented his district in the egislature, where he was noted for direct d available good sense, and in all posi , ens filled the ideas of a good citizen. His little garden patch," at the time of his eath, embraced nearly 35,000 acres, -worth t least $1,500,000, without improvements. : e was twic'i married, 'and leaves seven ens and one daughter. In person he - was Daniel Lambert, weighing 350 pounds. luring the war he was an active and iberal friend and supporter of the Union ause. Many interesting incidents have been re ated respecting Mr. Strawn, among which re the following :—Be began lite for him elf by raising sixteen pores of wheat, which • e traded for sixteen steers,, which he sold t a profit. After this he dealt mainly in battle. He was a rapid talker and a keen udge of human nature--a :prompt actor, new how to drive a bargain; and. always siade money He seldom went to town, •as busy every moment, and was always in he field or in the saddle, going from place to plaoe. Until within a few years he was his own accountant and his own banker; .tnd, strange as it may seem, kept no books, rusting entirely to his memory, which never failed him. In physical labor he excelled in every department. With a ottamon hand sickle he has been known to leap, bind and shock sixty dozen bundles wheat in a day.. Farmers will under- Lnd this to be what not more than one in a thousand could perform. In tier days he carried large sums of money m his person, and on several occasions life was attempted as he rode alone .ough the country. At one time, near :on, he was attacked by three robbers, tat he thrashed and put to flight with cattle whip. He was a man of wonder muscle and activity. He could spring :r the highest fence by merely placing hand on the top rail, and on one ma i he caught an infuriated bull by the 'as, who was charging on him in an open 1, and, throwing him down by mere se, completely subdued the apparently dous and uncontrollable animal. FARM TENANT HOUSES. There is not enough importance attached this class of farm buildings and they are so plentiful throughout the country, as believe it would be to the advantage of iers to have them. Every farm, large mgh to require the constant labor of •ed help, should have a comfortable tenant Ise. At least a - quarter of an acre of Id should be.enolosed for a garden spot, the whole establishment should be laid, so as to rent as low as twenty or thirti Mars per year, this sum paying the in :st on the capital invested, it is obvi that a laboring man could not well af ' to pay more than this amount of rent, it would likewise be to the interest of farmer to give. him as low rent as posse. as increased expenses would likely re in high wages. Such help as the per could then obtain would be more table and permanent than thp transient 3S of unmarried men usually' =played. many instances it would be found levy 'venient to have the laborer board hini '; this would relieve farmers' wives of a , at deal of hard and disagreeable work. it does not seem that this method ild be more expensive than boarding help in the farmer's house. 'Generally e laborer could afford to board himself less than it costs the farmer to do it, for house labor costs him nothing, and the iey he would get for boarding himself Lid go far towards supplying his whole idly with food.' There is another and a weighty argument induce farmers to built tenant houses. cheap and comfortable homes were fur died, in localities where a family could ;ily earn a generous living, as they can /where among farmers, it would be a •ong inducement for the poor in cities to inate into the country. At present, a ;y-bred family, though on the verge of trvation, can scarcely be induced to go to the country and seek for work and id. And shou'd they do so generally, greatest troubie, as is well understood, ild be to furnish cheap houses for their ;ommodation. But if farm tenant houses .e common, the laboring, poor in cities ild readily enter the country, where their w would command a comfortable living, all classes and localities would be tually benefited. lome pains should be taken to render the iant houses attractive and convenient. good well of water or a spring slatuld be the grounds, and one or two out-build 1. It would cost but little to plant a fruit trees' of the_most useful- kind, for family's use, and they would likewise Ithe . dwelling, and by making the pre more ornamental and attractive, .add h to the intrinsic value of the place to to extra cost. —karat New Yorker: , REASINo GRASS AND ,CORN CROPS , the New York State Fair Agriculta discussion, J.

The tree has its roots in the earth, which fashion has not." A favorite old tree stood near the house - at Tinnehinch. A friend of Grattan's, thinking it obstruct ed the view, recommended him to cut it down. " Why so?" said Grattan. "Be cause it shands in the way of the house." Grattan—"You mistake; it is the house that stands in the way of it, and if either comes down, let it be the house." MUTTON THE BEST MEAT.—Mutton must have age in .order to be..good. In this respect it is different from beef. Five years is the time held in Europe to be the best—an age which our wethers seldom at tain. It is all lamb 'with us, and young mutton.- We eaq tasted of nothing better than well-matured sheep, in which case the niuscle is tender and solid, the succulent juices in all perfection. Biatilaunts. FATHER IGNATIUS AND THE POPE. [We copy from' the English papers, the following account of the - founder of a monkish order in the Anglican Church, whose chief weakness is that he carries the reactionary movement a little further to ward 'the point of consistency than the Puseyites proper. The only curious tying about it is, that this man is really and bona fide a Presbyter, in full standing, in the Church of England, and unless self-ex winded, will probably remain such.] Father Ignatius, writing to the • Church Times from Rome, gives an account of an interview he has had with the Pope. He says unctuously :-- " The Pope was most kind and conde scending—l may say affectionate—in his manner towards me. I shall never forget that sweet face of that dear, holy old man. As I sat in the andiepch-chamber of the Vatican, the Papal Throne before me, the gorgeous walls dnd furniture, the guards of honor in their bright uniforms, the Priests about the Pope's chambers, passing and re passing in their purple robes, the servants in their gorgeous liveries, I thought of the times when I had been beaten in the streets and stoned—as at Croydon, Norwich, Bath, &e.,—and told, "Go to Rome," "Go and kiss the Pope's toe," ⅈ and I could hardly help smiling at my thoughts. Be fore my interview wish the Holy Father, I had some conversation with Monsieur Tal bot, who was to introduce rhe to the Pope"s presence. He was most kind, and he did not enter into a, discussion of any sort. At last the Pope came in. He wore a white cassock and zuchetto, and a stimilet cloak. It is the etiquette to receive the Pope's presence as that of any other monarch, viz : to kneel and-kiss his hand if he offers it. Religious persons, who recognize in the Pope the spirituecharacter of the Am bassor of the King of Kings, .kiss his feet. This I had made up my mind to do. As the Pope approached, his sweet smile and -venerable aspect tookawai all fear of his presedee. I saw that he extended his hand to me, but I bowed down and kissed the cross on his feet. He seemed to me aston ished and pleased as. I knelt before him. He begged me to pray that I might know God's will and 'do it; and have also the spirit of a true monk. He laid his hands upon my bare and tonsured head, and kept them there while he gave me his blessing, and then gave me his hand to kiss. I had brought with me a heap of crosses, Medals, and rosaries, which I held up for him to bless. He blessed them for me, and then, with a few more kind words, the interview ended. Before Jeaving the Vatican, I and the priest who accompanied me were again called into the. Pope's presence, in a large hall, where numbers of. young soloiers, 'some monks, and a .priest were all being blessed together. Here the Pope gave,me a medal whieh'he had blessed. I knelt to receive it, and gratefully kissed it, as a token that I should indeed'prize it„coming trom so venerable a hand. tI had with me the lay brother, l and our little novice, Bro ther Ignatius Mary, but they waited in the carriage in the Piazzi before St. Peter's. I was an hour and a half in the Vatican. On leaving the palace, I took our little baby novice into St. Peter's to say' a prayer be fore the shrine of the Apostle. As we passed np the great nave, I heard, O! that's Father Ignatius; look I' called out by some English people who were in the church; and watched us to see if we were idolatrous in our conduct or not, I suppose'. " I feel that a strange event has happened to-day. Oar English Order of St. Bene dict has been blessed in me to day by the Patriarch of the West. Of. course his Holi ness desires that ive should submit to the Church of Rome, but at the same time I am convinced that he wishes us God-speed in the Church of England. How many Wore me have in older- times left - England to go and kneel for St. Peter's blessing at the venerable hands of his successor. The Church of England has a monk who clings to her communion and loves her, who has visited Rome'atl received the Papal bless ing! Yes, Ido love the Church of Eng land, and can feel proud of her even here in mighty Rome, and earnestly long . to see her emancipated from her worst enemies; even they, *lie, in her pale, deny her very catholicity and her plainest teachings of the faith'. Jesus loves the Church of England, and His Spirit owns her too ; hence all the wondrous life that is springing up grow i ng and increasing daily in her midst. Infidels and heretics in, vain may strive to crush her but they shall not, for she is a very and a healthy limb of Christ ' s spouse, I the One Holy Cabello and Apostolic Church.'" In the course of his letter he mentions that he received the Benediction pf a French Bishop and of a Benedictine Archbishop at Rome. Ae says that he has been most kindly received by the English he has met, especially by thel , c_ap.a.; ns at Genoa and at Leghorn. He had attended the English chap e l at ,Rome. " I do," he says, "not, like to Make any criticism upon our fellow-Christians'-here, but I_ must say, in order to give •you some idt aof my i m preSsions, that I was g rievously disappoint e d. Surrounded by religious privileges lams; THE AMERICA( PRESBYTERIAN, TUURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1866. merable, they seemed not to value them by any outward demonstration, such as •we .should expect." That is they do not im prove the opportunities of praying with the baby Mary before the shrine of St. Peter ! THE NEW TEMPERANCE LAW IN VER- MON T. If any of our readers—and we trust we have many such—would like to look upon a Temperance Prohibitory Law that was made to be enforced, we commend their attention to the recent enactment of the Vermont Legislature. Of course it Will be madly contested by those ivho " get their living" .fiy running the Black Valley trains, and think it a fair trade to sell a soul for a diMe But there is g rit enough in tin people of the Green Mountains for all such tussles, and it their present laki is not ex plicit enough to yoke the " striped pigs" and stop the fence holes, which once an-, noyed the Massachusetts reform, we despair of the possibility of exactness. The law is necessarily long : we give below, from the Chronicle, a synopsis of its principabpoints, and the manner of its enforcement: 1. If any person in this State, except a town agent, shall, by himself or clerk, sell, furnish, or give away intoxicating liquors, he is subject to a penalty of $lO and cost, for each offense, on a first conviction; $2O for each offense on a second; and on a third conviction, $2O for each offense, and im: prisonment not less than three months. Provided, that this law does not forbid giving away" in. a private house, unless the house be a place of public resort, or the gift , be to an habitual drunkard, or at a gathering of people for amusement, or public labor; nor does it forbid furnishing the fruit of the vine for commemorating the Lord's Supper.—General Statutes, Chap. 94, Sec. 9. 2. The same penalties are imposed for keeping intoxicating liquors, for the pur pose of thus unlawfully disposing of them.' —Sec. 13. 3. If any expressman, conductor, team ster or any other individual; shall know ingly transport within this Slate for any other persons, (except to town agents, and for purposes recognized as lawful by our State laws), or shall' in any way aid or abet any other peison in procuring or transport. ing such liquor except for such lawful pur poses, the penalty is. $2O on the first con viction; and on thy- second $5O, andfroin three to ten months' imprisonment.—Seo. 44. 4. Any. , person except an authorized agent, who shall be a mairufacturer or seller of intoxicating liquor in Vas State, is sub ject to a penalty of . $lOO on a first convic tion, and on a ,secon4n-$2OO ; on -a third $2OO and imprisonment from four to twelve months. A common seller is one who\is convicted of more than five and not over ten offenses in one trial, It is provided, however, that any person can make and sell cider, and may Malre for his own use any Jermented liquors; but, no , person ;than make or furnish cider or any fermented liquor, in any victualing house, grocery, tavern, or other place of public resort, or to an habitual drunkard in any place. For each violation of this provision the penalty is slo.—Sec. 18, 19. 5. if any three voters in any town in this States come before a justice of the peace of their county, and make oath or affirm that they beam: intoxicating liquor is kept in any place in their town., intended for Oak, gift, or distribution contrary to the law; the justice must issue a search war rant to a constable, sheriff, or deputy, who shall search the premises so described, and on finding such liquor, evidently intended for such purpose, he shall take it in safe keeping, and notify the owner or keeper to appear before the justice of peace forth with, and if it appears by evidence that such liquor was kept for sale or distributiot contrary to this law, it is delivered to the town agent. If he finds it, on examination, fit for sale by him for lawful purposes, he is to sell it and the proceeds go into the town treasury. If he decides it unfit for use, it is to be destroyed.—Sec. 22. 6. Any person seen intoxicated may be prosecuted within thirty days, afterward, and fined.ss and costs.. It is the duty of any grand juror, selectman, justice of the peace, sheriff, deputy, or constable who shall see any person in the town where they reside, so far intoxicated as to disturb the public or domestic tranquility, to arrest such person without warrant, and hold him in custody at the expense of the State till he is capable of testifying properly. He shall then bring him before some justice of the peace, when he shall be compelled to disclose where and of whom he obtained the liquor which made. him intoxicated; and the person who furnished it to him unlawfully shall be fined according to the evidence in trial.—Sec. 33. 7. Any officer who, on application, re fuses or neglects to perform faithfully his duties under any stction of this law, is sub ject to a penalty of not less than $2O nor more than sloo.—See. 42. 8. if any State's attorney shall offer to settle any case which he may have in charge under this law, with any offender, or re lease him during his trial, he is liable to a penalty of not less than three hundred dollars.—Sec. 43. 9. In cases of an appeal from a justice's court, the witness who has testified may be put under the same bonds as the defendant; for appearance at county court —Sec. 27. 10. Each 'town agent is governed by rules prescribed by the county commissioner, not inconsistent with this law; and when ever he violates such rules, or the, law itself, it is the duty of the commissioner to re move him on application of three voters of the town, and the amount of the_bond given by the agent is to be forfeited.—Sec. 47. If any agent shall sell, knowingly for any other than medicinal, chemical, or me chanical purposes, (Sec. 7,) or without havi ng a definite sum of money agreed on andallowed by the selectmen as his salary, he is liable to the same penalties as a com mon seller. (Law of 1864.) If the select; men make any arrangement with the agent bY which his compensation shall be received in any other way than . by a specific Salary, to be any portion o . the profits, or make any ar- Paid by t h e town. or allow him all or rangement by which he would be induced I to increase ,his sales, each selectman is liable to a penalty of % five hundred dollars for such offense. (Sec. 6.) If any person obtains liquor of any agent by false pre tense as to purpose, he is liable to a fine of slo and cost, for each offense. (Sec. 11.) , 11. In all violations of this law, justices of the peace have the same jurisdiction as county courts; and a complaint signed by a town grand juror is as good as a bill found by a county grand jury. Any torn grand juror, or State's attorney, on receiving pro per evidence must proceed to prosecute, and it is the duty of the county grand jury to inquire into and prosecute all violations not otherwise prosecuted. Any defects in the forms of complaints, may be amended, at the time of trial before a justice, and also when brought by appeal or otherwise to a county court. —Sec. 15, 35, 30. DR. FRANCIS AT FRANKLIN'S GRAVE. We have noticed his love and admiration for Franklin; and this enthusiasm was the origin of the sorrows 'which will now be related of its victim, Dr. Francis. He had seen Franklin's printing office and the spot where he had discovered electricity, but had never visited his grave at Philadelphia. On a visit to that city, he determined no longer to omit so important a duty; and having had the cemetery in which the re mains of Franklin lay pointed out to him, at once went thither. - To his great disap pointment the gates were locked, the sex ton absent, and the wall too high to climb. But the doctor had come upon a sacred errand, and would not ahandon his design. He went into one of the neighboring shops, borrowed a short ladder, and leaning this aaainst the cemetery wall, climbed up and reached the opposite side. The grave of Franklin was discovered, and kneeling upon the sod, the ardent admirer of the dead philosopher Spent an hour in rapt medita tion upon, his hero's life and character. He had thus visited that sacred grave; he had thus no longer the conviction of a duty neglected ;. he could return to his family now and say : " I have knelt upon the grave of Franklin !" This return, however, proved more difficult than he anticipated. Mounting. the wall, which was very low on. the inside, however high on the outside, he found that his friend the store-keeper, grow ing _impatient, 'had borne off the ladder; and ;hits the "highly respectable" Dr. Francis was left at mici-dayr, in the city of Philadelphia, astride a cemetery wall. ' The position was unpleasant, and the figure which he presented apt to be regarded as scandalous. Tlie Philadelphians are a de corus people, an 'd the spectacle of an elderly gentleman in black coat, clerical .white cravat, and with long gray hair flowing upon hiS shoulders; was sufficient to pro duce a sensation. On his perch, however, the doctor stoutly remained, hoping that some wayfarer, would aid him in dismount ing. 'None came; but all at once there appeared a procession of Quakers—men and maidens—who drew near .the spot, and, finally halted beneath the wall. Then the' explanation of this ominous manoeuvre fol lowed. All eyes were directed upon the robust doctor, whose clerical appearance and singular position aroused grave indig nation and displeasure. The storm soon' burst,' A. solemn "Friend" advance 4 froin the rest, and calmly asked the doctor if be was insane. Insane ! Then he was to be regarded as a madman for his devotion to the great Franklin ! The worthy doctor grew more indignant than his Quaker friend. Re stretched firth his hand, concentrated 'upon himself all eyes, and then—astride the wall as he was—commenced an eloquent address upon the neglect of Franklin's memory. We know how Dr. Francis could talk—how completely his listeners were always enchanted.. His success upon this occasion was triumphant. From the accused he bad become the accuser: ' Why had the peop/e t , of Philadelphia, where Franklin lived and died, left his grave unmarked by any monument—his last resting-place al most unkoolvtt ? Why lord they neglected this man of splendid genius in a -manner so shocking.—even securing the gates of the spot in which he lay, so that his admirers could not visit his tomb? The worthy doctor poured upon the heads of his listeners a torrent of eloquence, and from enemies they soon became friends. A ladder was brought him, and ceasing his oration, he descended from his perch. Hewes greeted as he reached the ground by hearty ap plause, and retired followed by an ovation. —Hours at House. WHAT WE OWE TO ASIA. Asia has always been regarded as the birth-place of man. The researches of comparative philology afford abundant evi dence that the present inhabitants of Eu roße are of Oriental descent. But the acti vity that existed in the early history of the East has long ago given way to stagnation. There is nothing to excite locomotion. Vast multitudes during their whole lives scarcely leave the place where they were born. There are no improvements in food, in clothing, or in habitations. As their ancestors lived in past times, so do they. They do not seek to get rid of tyranny. The sense of political improvement is lost. The people only appieciate tranquility anti rest. It was not always thus in the East. In times of which history has failed to preserve av account, that continent must have been the scene of prodigious human activity. In it were-first developed those fundamental inventions and discoveries which really lie at the basis of progress of the human race—the subjugation of do mestic animals,- the management of fire, the expression of thought by writing. We are apt to overlook how much man must have done, how much he must have added to his natural, powers in pre-historic times. We forget )low many contributions to our own comfoils are of Oriental origin. Their commonne hides them from our view. It the Europeitn wishes to.know how much he owes to theiAsiatic, he has only to cast a glance at ai hour of his daily life. The clock whir , summons him from of bed in the m om & was the invention o the East, 1 as also we re.clepsydras and sun-dials. The praye r f o r his daily bread that he has said fro m hi s i n fancy, first rose from the sine of a Sy r i a n m ountain. The linens and Cottons with which he clothes himself, though they' m ay be very fine, are inferior to those that have been made from time immemo rial in the looms of India. The silk was stolen by some missionaries for his benefit from China. He could buy better steel than that with which he shaves himself, in the old city of Damascus, where it was first invented. The coffee he expects at break fast was first grown by the Arabians, and the natives of Upper India prepared the sugar with which he sweetens it. A school-boy can tell the meaning of the Sanscrit words sacchara canda. If his tastes are light and prefers tea, the virtues of that excellent deaf were first pointed out by the industrious Chinese. They also taught him how to make and use the cup and saucer in which to serve it. His breakfast-tray was lacquered in Japan. There is a tradition that leavened bread was first made of the waters of the Ganges. The egg he is breaking was laid by a fowl whose ancestors were first domesticated by Malaccans, unless she may have been— though that will not alter the case—a mo dern Shanghai. If there are preserves and fruits on his board, let him remember with thankfulness that Persia first gave him the sherry, the peach, the plum. If in any or these pleasant preparations he detects the flavor of alcohol, let it remind him that that substance was distilled by the Arabians, who haveiset him the praiseworthy example, which it will be for his benefit to follow, of abstaining from its use. When he talks about coffee and alcohol, he is using Arabic • words. A thousand years before it had occurred to him to enact laws of restriction in the useoef intoxicating drinks, the pro phet of Mecca did the same thing, and, what is more to the purpOse, has compelled, to this day, all Asia and Africa to obey them. We gratify our taste for personal ornaments in . the way the Orientals have taught• us—with pearls, rubies, sapphires, diamonds. Of public amusements, it is the same. The most magnificent fireworks are still to be seen in India and China; and as regards the pastimes of private life, Europe has produced no invention that can riVal the game of chess. We have no hydraulic constsuction as great as the Chinese Canal, no fortifications as extensive as the Chinese Wall; we have no artesian wells that can at all approach in depth to some ,of theirs. We have not yet resorted to the practice of obtaining coal gas from the interior of the earth; they have borings for that pur pose more than 3000 feet deep.—Dr. Draper. ' CLEANSE- THE BLOOD. ' With corrupt, disordered or vitiated Blood you are sick all over.

During late years the public have been mis edhy large bottles pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little. if any, Sarsaparilla, but often no curative pro perties what , ver. Hence, bitter disappointment has followed the use of the variorts extracts of Sarsapa rilla which flood the market, until the name itself has become synonymous with impotition and cheat.. Still we call this compound "Sarsaparilla." and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. We think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. We can only assure the sick, that we offer them the best alterative whioh we knew how to produce, and we have reason to believe, it is by far the most effectual purifier of the blood yet discovered by any body. AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL is so universally known to surpass every other remedy for the cure of Couphs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness.
