REMOVAL OF ]. F. Polk, Eso.--The
removal of j. F. Polk, Esq from clerk
ship in the Treasury Department. is Off
cially announced in the Union of this
morning. Mr.. Polk was first appointed
by General Jackson, in the year 1881,
and has enjoyed the confidence Of every
succeeding administration. He is, and
,lways has been Democrat. A more
worthy or efficient clerk has not probably
filled desk in any department of the
Government, since its organization. lie
is. moreover, a man oflearning, a sincere
Christian. and an accomplished gentle
man. But, he is firm and unwaverlng
Protestant, and has freely and ably en-
ployed his pen in exposing the assump'
lions, the impostures, and the corruphons
of the Church of Rome. Herein and
nothing else, is bis efence He has
been removed from Office by this admin
stralion merely because he has written
and spoken in defence Of the llglon OF
Luther and Mcancthon, of Taylor and
Barrow, of Wesley and Whlteheld, OF
of Edwards and Dwight, of White and
Madison. and Moore For this cause, and
for this cause alone, has Josiah f. Polk
protestant, been removed from Office,
and S. @. Ford. a bigoted Rcman Cath

Plant Early,

Ifthe spring is cold and backward, we
often hear the farmers say, corn is bet
ter out ofthe ground, than in it,
Well, now, friends, you were never
more mistaken in your lives. If the frost
is out of the ground, and the weather
warm enough to sprout it. corn had bet
ter be in the ground. 1t may be kept
back, like talented step-son but its en-
ergies are accumulating, and as soon as
favorable opportunity offers, its laten
powers will show themselves.
While the topis kept down by the chill
air its roots, protected by the earth, are
spreading. and striking deep, which vii
enable it to stand the heat and drouth o.
midsummer.
Corn tops will not grow much while th'
thermometer is below seventy degrees
but the roots, will, Sc that they become
dispropOrtioned to the top. Corn plant
ed later, will often overtake it in growth
but the early planted will ripeh at leas
two weeks earlier than the late planted
and having SO much root, is not SO mucI
injured by the drought.
For good, full crop, corn should b
planted SO as to glaze before the mid
die Of fSeptember. Yor might as well un
dertake to ripen watermelons by moon
shine, as corn by the bleak winds Of DC
tober.

NEW ENGLAND Rum AT THE CRiMEA.--
New England rum is selling at eonstan-

mand is for the French army. Quite an

the war. The quality is doubtless some'

THE MURDERERs' STORY.

There were five of us together-con-
slant comprehension of women, wine,
and the dice-box. We made love in com
pany, got drunk together, and gambled
from the same purse. A very slender
purse it was, too-but that's not the point.
There was Harry Pierce and his broth
er Fred-little Tom Needham-Jack Fry,
and myself. Harry was impetuous, hasty,
irritable, but in the main good-hearted; his
brother was cooler, more calculating, and
if anything, little avaricious. Tom was
a true topper, who enjoyed his glass to the
extreme, and was never happy except when
half-drunk and Jack was kind of hang
er-on and toady of the whole Of u.s. For
myself, there was only two peculiarltes
worth mentioning, from their apparent in
consistency AS quick as a flash, the least
angry word would arouse me to tempest
of ungovernable passion, which, when
subsided, would find ME as cold as ice,
and with a mind free to plot and contrive
anything.
On one evening, VIC had lost good deal
of money--more than we could well at
ford-at poker, and had left the gaming
room in no very goodspirits. Fred Peirce
had not been with us, or prehaps we should
not have played SO long, for Fred, unlike
the majority of gamblers, who play mos
desperately when fortune is most unkind
invariably stopped when a certain maxi
mum of loss was arrived at
In the morning Fred called to see me
having heard something aboutthe loss, nnc

Needham, however, did not notice it, and
presenting his pistol, fred again, but en-.

ter.
Upon my soul, said he, 'youare worse
than the bakers daughter Here he cried,
in squeaking tone, 'IfI were to be mar
ried, and were to have little baby, and
it were to come here and to get into the
oven and be burned to death-boo-boo ?
Then resuming his natural tone, he ex-
claimed, You are the mostridiculous fools,
the whole of you, l ever saw. Have you
any brandy in your den? l must have
a little to revive me, after this scene
You'd better give Harry some. Lord
knows he needs it,

The web of my difficulties, was being rap
idly unraveled-my escape was almost
certain; but what if they should discover
the fracture walked boldly forward
to the closet, and placing my hand on the
catch-knob, said: In order to dissipate
your doubts, will open the mystery
AS | spoke threw the door wide open.
Mine was an affected shout, but not SO
that of the rest. shall never forget the
Shrek of dispair which left the bosom Of
Harry Pierce, as he knelt forward and
raised the body of his brother, nor the ter
rible tones Of that hoarsc whisper, in which
he said, I'm Cain--God forgive my fol-
ly : and then he sank into the arms Of
Tom Needham.
My companions examined the body
The ball of Harry had evidently gone
through his heart. The absence of blood
was atoncc accounted for by inward bleed.
ing, and as we were examining the body,
heard the shrill voice of our hostess lady
outside scolding because we were firing
pistols and shrieking in our room.
A debate now ensued in regard to the
disposal of the dead body. l knew that
the blow on the head would be discov-
cred, if the thing was divulged, and |
at once suggested that we had better bury
the body secretly. told them thatit could
be packed in the long box which lay there
and that one of us could meet the con.
veyance out of town, take it to some out
of the way spot, where would assist to
bury the body, In the meanwhile, Need.
ham could purchase coffin and Other
necessary materials, as though to send il
off to the country, and at night we could
bury it.
Harry Pierce made no opposition; he
was incapable of anything. The plan wa:
carried out as l suggested, and each par
ted. The rest were convinced, and arr
still, that brother had been the unwilling
murderer of a brother. Harry Pierc,
died last year in madhouse, and l am her,
twenty years after, with gray hairs on m!
head, and an unclouded reputation, to tel
you the tale.
