AMUSING SCENE IN MATAMoRAs.-The hirh
Price oil cotton goods in Matamoras, in consequence
OF the Mexican tariff is well known. Several en-
tcrpnslng Yankees" since General Taylor has
taken possession of the city, have moved in" O.
pe1ed stores and are selling goods cheap prin-
ciples"- about one third the usual Mexican prices
but double the usual American prices 1t is an a.
musing scene to witness the crowd around these
stores, composed Of the mixed people of the CITY.
Finely dressed women rancheros, naked Indians
and negroes, all eager to purchase goods, and lab
herring good, bad and Indifferent Spanish, with
rapidity truly appalling TO phlegmatic Anglo
American. This species of warfare is rapidly con-
yerting the people over to American notions, and
they have only to fully learn that they can have
cheap goods, and the enjoyment of life and liberty,
TO abandon their Government as rapidly as they
have their high priced stores,

TO THE TAX.-PAYING CITIZENS OF
VERlIONT

In my last communication it was intinlatod That
1t might cost the State less to pay their court ex-
penses by orders, as provided by the act of 1915,
than IN money. This may be easily shown. Since
the law was passed, there have been 222 orders
drawn IN pursuance of it, amounting to S7,797,6Q.
These orders cost the state IL cents EACH and no
more, and the whole number 1914. The allow
ance 70 the clerks for discussing public money was
most usually per cent, which on S1,797G 90 would
be Sl5595, or Sll8,2l more than the cost of the
orders.
Many of the structures on the law of 1915 hardly
seem to require public notice. The most serious
objections against 1t rest on the suppostion that il
takes away the supervision Of the Auditor of ac-
counts, allowed by the judges. With sinqle ex-
ceptlon this is incorrect BY the law of 1912. the
clerks were to pay these accounts in cash, "under
the direction of the court Once pad under
the direction Of the court" the supervision of the
Auditor could not extend to requiring them to &C
count again for any items. which might be consid-
cred irregular. II would be imposing an onerous
unpaid and odious task upon the clerks, which the
Statute dlG not warrant. The Auditor has accor-
dinghy explicitly disavowed the exercise of any
such authority. 1t is true that ample provision was
made TO submit to his inspection the accounts of
expenses paid And he was to 'examine the items
a. charges and the sum allowed" What then?
Did the act 60 on to promise that we should cor
rect the accounts or cause the improper disburse-
ment to be refunded Nothing of the kind 1t
gave HIM no power over payments already made
under the sanction Of the judges. And after using
the above expression it proceeds to enact that we
shall with the treasurer adopt rules to secure just
and uniform allowances. Inscad of this the act of
1915 enacts that the Supreme Court prescribe these
rules This is the only particular IN tins respect
in which it varies liom the law Of 1872 Which is
the better system, is question that does not seem
to call for very extended discussion
It's said indeed that the items Of the accounts
40 IA o,o not rouurpd be gDecltied in tho cOnes
furnished to the auditor, that he has no oppor-
tunities to revise them The act provides, howev-
err that correct copies of the accounts shall be sent
to him. There will be no difficulty probably in Sc
curing under this clause, full specification of all
The items allowed.
The apprehension has been expressed that the
clerk might evade the law, and draw orders TO pay
jurors and witnesses. 1t is sufficient to reply that
10 has no authority to draw any such orders and
nay as safely draw TO pay Tor his family expen-
es 1t has also been mentioned to me as gross ab-
urdty that so many officers are empowered by

wife and two children fell victims to fever; and he,
only Just recovered from the same disease, was
forced, with his remaining child TO beg morsc Of

not satisfied with relieving his immediate wants,

CURKANT RuSIIES.

Mr.. EDIroR Having noticed that currant
bushes may as well be made trees as shrubs con.
clude to tell you how have seen it done. In the
spring OF 1881, my father commenced garden
and among other things, Sc, cuttings for currant
bushes determined 10 make an experiment on
one Of these cuttings, aud us soon us it grew, |
pinched off allthe leaves except the top tult which
left to grow. The cutting was about If inches
long, and during the summer, the sprout from the
top Of this grow 10 inches. The next spring |
plnched off all the leaves to about half way up the
first years growih, so as to leave the lowest limbs
about two feet FROM the ground. 1t branched well,
and became handsome little dwarf tree. When
1t came to bear fruit, it Was more productive than
any other bush IN the garden, aud the fruit larger.
1t was less infested with spiders and other insects
hens could not peck oil the fruit and grass ard
weeds were more easily kept from the roots, and it
was an ornament instead of blcmish Now, |
would propose that currant cuttings be set in rows
about ~ or feet apart each way, (et them be
long, and straight ones, aud trained into trees

A coon WORD rOR TuE HlRns.


II gardeners and farmers were more fully aware
how much they were indebted to birds they wonl1
take all possible care to protect them from iniurv
and would encourage them in building nests. and
rearing their young about their fields and orchards
instead OF shooting them, because they eat the
Queries ana olIcr lrult. II these persons would
observe and enquire more dceby into the matter
they would become convinced that these very birds
winch they are disposed to shoot as nuisauces.
cleanse their trees from slugs, canker worms and
other insects which, If let alone, would soon destroy
the tree itself And the cultiyator may be well
content, to pay the yearly tax of a few cherries to
these guardians Of his fruit trees.
Barton the naturalist says something to this cf-
feet 1--WE have not the book at handy that we are
guilty OF great injustice TO birds. Many of them,
when seen at distance, appear to be stealing the
seed from the earth, when, in fact, they are zeal
ously eep'oYcd, in grabbing up the errs and larya
OF worms, which, if left undsturbel would destroy
the grain.
Even hawks ana crows, although they do, indeed,
cat some Of the corn, and, occasionally steal a
chicken or two are, nevertheless, of great USE
They moi only destroy multtudes o. insects, bur,
do much to preserve the purity of the air, by de-
Vourlng the carcas5cs Of dead animals.
All BIRDS Of the sparrow family, are very indus
lrious lnsect.cNtcrmnators. Thew indeed, eat a
portion Of the grain from the fields, and the seed
rom the garden; but the injury is very slight,
"hen weighed against the advantage Of their I'M
ce4sIng war; against all the insect tribe.
IN some sections Of our country, one Of the most
useful birds Is the wren, the friend and companion
OF man, who delights to build his little nest under
ihe caves, or ~ the nearest proximity to Il quiet,
human dwelling. In some places his usefulness is
so well understood AMI appreciated, that small
wooden boxes are nailed TO trees, and other conya-
nlcnt places prepared, whore they may build their
nests
As soon as he young brood are hltchol, the pa
rents begin to y abroad in search Of food Tor their
family,
An observing lover OF birds counted fifty times
N one hour that one plir of wrens went forth to
bring food for their nestlings and he says they
never returned without an insect in their bills
Ihls perpetual flying forth and returning is repeat
cd, without lnlcmssion, from morning to night,
and continued till the young birds are able to fly
forth themselves. In this ratio, one pair of wrens
must destroy a vast number Of vormin, and even if
they sometimes nap the side Of a strawberry or
cherry, reasonable gardener will consider this
sweet moTse but the honest due of the Jealous and
faithful guardians Of his lrcos.-.4macdn Irdu.
