Encouraged 5by! the lprasence of the
Spanish fleet at Civita Vecchia, and by
the support of the clerical party In
France and in most of the Catholic
countries OF Europe, the Pope has de-
livered two allocutions, or in other
ceedlngs of the italian and Russian
governments in reference to ecclesiasti-
cal persons and property. The accusa-
tions contained in both allocutfons have
a family likeness; thus, against the
King of Italy he alleges the suppression
of the religious orders, the seculariza-
ftion of the ecclesiastical property, and
the law of civil marriage; while o he
alleges against the Emperor of Russia
the abolition of religious orders in Po-
land, the confscation of ecclesiastical
property, the suppression of the legiti-
mate jprisdic cti0n of bisbopsT in their
aRsfss ths anq R5SsSSS S,sSsS q
The acts OF the Italian government he
declares null aud Uoid. Against both
sovereigns his accusation resolves itself
into protest against the temporal pow
or being in any way allowed to legislate
in reference to ecclesiastical persons or
property for the public good. The

be expected that these aIIocutions would
have the effect OF causing the acts done
to be undonel but the dignity OF the
Papal See required that the world
should be remindedsof its antfuuated
pretensions. In the opinion Of the
Pope nothing is lost by maintaining a
bold front. Fortunately for the peace

fused to fight a duel, but said in reply:

and devotion to principle, controls u
power, silent, il is true, but nevertheless
potent for good, and second only to
that Of the President himself. The
Southern people have been strangely
drawn to Mr. johnson by many Of his
acts which indicate u new purpose to
secure to them substantial justice. To
the full flow of earnest and enthusiastic
devotion, there remains but one draw
back---the failure to declare the amncs-
ty general, and to let from prison and
exile the confined and the eypatriated
return to their homes. The day upon
which that should be done would mark
new era in The reunited strength Of the
country.
Touched with the magnanimity and
manifestations of confidence which this
act argues, the Southern people would
feel alresh the glow Of patriotic pride
so long a stranger to their bosoms, and
would show u united front for the Pres
ident; while, my word for it, not one
of the distinguished individuals now
laboring under the disability, who
would accept restoration to citizenship,
would prove ungrateilll or unworthy
co-workers in the plan Of restoration.

Congress, ut its late session, made
provision in the miscellaneous apprO-
priation bill, to carry out the 24th sec
ton of the Enrolment act of March 3,
1868, which provided that all loyal own
crs of slaves enlsting in the service of
the United States, should be paid Il
sum not exceeding 5000 for each slave
so enlisting, and the fund derived from
Communication money for drafted men
was especially set apart for this pnr-
pose. Up to the present time the Sec
retary of War has taken no steps to
carry the act into effect. Since its re-
enactment. it is understood that he will
soon appoint the commissioners an-
thnrized by the law to examine their
claims. and there is fair prospect now
for the owners to get their money,
which a Republican Congressman said,
more than three years ago, they were
entitled to. There are thousands OF
such claims throughout the country,
and they ought to have been paid long
ago. The claims of Maryland and Del
aware we're settled in part, but Lincoln
forbid the appointment ofcommission-
ers for Kentucky and Missouri. The
last Congress ordered s5,000,00O OF
the co'nmut..'ion fund to be paid on
these claims.

Some Of Mr.. Stanton's most intimate

is in sympathy with the Philadelphia
Convention, and fully indorses the ac-
ton OF that body. Per contra, it is con-
cedcd by all other than Mr.. Stanton's 5

within few days, but possibly not
until the return of the President from

LIQUID HONEY.--The following re
ceipt for a beautiful liquid honey is ta-
ken from Mr.. Langstroth, which he
says ''the best judges have pronounced
one of the most luscious articles they
ever tasted" Put two pounds of the
purest white sugar in as much hot wa
ter as will dissolve it; take one pound
of strained white clover honey-an,v
honey Of good flavor will answer--and
add it warm to the syrup, thoroughly
stirring together. AS refined loaf su-
gar is pure and inodorous sweet, one
pound of honey will give its flavor in
two pounds ofsugar, and the compound
will be free from that smarting taste
that pure honey often has, and will gen
orally agree with those who can not
cat the latter with impunity. Any de
sired flavor can be ad,le,! to it.
Although no profit can be realized
from inducing bees to store this mix
ture in boxes or glasses. the amateur
may choose, in bad seasons, or in dis
tricts where honey is pure, to secure II
this way choice specimens for his ia
bee. ....

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
Decision of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue.

The following decisions have recent
| ly been given by the Commissioner o
Internal Revenue at Washington. They
are important to farmers, in so far a'
they untangle some Of the knotty
points of the law:
/. Farmers will not be required tt
make return Of produce consumed il
their own immediate families.
3. The farmers profits from sales o
live stock are to be found by deductins
from the gross receipts for animals
sold, the purchase money paid for th'
same. If animals have been lost du
ring the year by death or robbery, TIL,
purchase money paid for such animals
may be deducted from the gross in
come Of the farm.
3. No deduction can he made by tht
farmer for the value Of services ren
dcrcd by his minor children, whether
he actually paid for such services ol
not If his adult children work fol
him and receive compensation for theil
labor they are to lie regarded as Other
hired laborcrs in determining his in
come
4. Money paid for labor except
such as Is used OF employed in domcs-
tic service, or in the production OF ar
ticlos consumed in the family Of the
producer, may be deducted.
s. No deduction can be allowed in
any case for the cost Of unprotected
labor. If house servants are employed
portion of the time in productive Ia
Dor, such as the making Of butter and
cheese for sale. Il proportonatc amount
Of the wages paid them may be deduc-
ted.
6. Expenses for ditching and clear
ing new land are plainly expenses for
permanent improvements, and not de-
ductahle.
7. The whole amount expended for
fertilizers applied during the year, to
the farmers land, may be deducted,
bat no deduction is allowed for ttrtili-
zers produced on the farm. The cost
Of seed purchased for sowing and
planting may be deducted.
s. lfa person sells timber standing,
the profits are to be ascertaincd By cs-
timating the value ofthe land after the
removal OF the timber, and from the
sum thus obtained dcducting the csti-
mated value Of the land on the first day
Of January, 1862, or on the day Of pur-
chase, purchased since that date.
8. Where 10 repairs have been made
by the tax payer upon the building
owned by him during the preceding five
years, nothing can be deducted for re
pairs made during the year for which
the income is estimated.
10. A farmer should make return Of
all his produce sold within the year,
but Il mere cXccutory contract for a
sale is not Il sale; delivery, either ac-
tual or constructive, is essential. The
criterion by which to judge whether a
sale is complete or not, is to determine
whether the vcnder still retains in that
character right over the property; if
the property were lost or destroyed,
upon which ofthc parties in the absence
of any other relation between them
than that ofthc vcnder and and ycndee,
would the loss fall on.
