Tapping Sugar Maple Trees.


Trees tapped receiving the least
! injRry are most profitable, for the
reason chat greater portion of sap
Aovs from tho wood near the bark.
When a tree is tapped with a bit,
the spile stops up the best flowing
grains. When an insieion is made
Z With a large auger or gouge, more
grnius are opconed, and Of course
greater flow Of sap obtained. 1t is
.afAct, however, that when trees are
tapped iu this way, the wind dries
up the wood sooner than when bit
is used, but this is easily prevented
by frequent freshing over. Many
farmers have, within a few years
past, used sheet iron spiles and a
large auger, and have found them
profitable and less ininrious to tho
tree than any other kind.
The spouts are made by cutting
sheet iron strips two inches wide
and ten or twelve inches long, bent
hollow, and ono end ground sharp.
An auger, one and onc-f fourth inch
es in size is used for tapping, tho
hole not being bored over tbrec-
eights Of an inch deep, and the spile
driven into the bark beneath tho
cut with a square faced mallet.
When freshing over, an auger is
used each time ! Of an inch larger
than the one before it, and the in
cision made but shaving deeper
The spilc will not have TO be removed
to do this. N
Ifa farmer has not on hand the
differant sized augers, and does not
wish to bo at the expense of pur.
chasing them, a two inch gouge
smsy be made answer to every pur'
pose. II should be ground thin
aud very sharp, and the cut made
with it about two inches long and
hale inch deep, The gouge may DO
taken along when gathering sap,
and,any tree requireing IL freshed
in halfa minutes time by taking OF
a thin shaeihg. There are other
advantages in this mode Of tapping
aside from the preservation Of the
trees; moro sugar can be made, FOR
a greater flow Of sap can be obtained.
and no loss sustained by leakage, as
around the common wood spile.

Early Plants,


Maken hot bed in March, or
scoup out turnips, 6ll them with
rich soil, and SOW seed in them
0fcourse they must be put in a
warm place and kept properly
moistenod. Fill any box--one that
raisins, or starch, or salt came in
with rich soil, thoroughly mixed
with fue manure, and SOW tomato
or other seeds in il. Set it in the
kitchen, keep it properly moistened
NOT too wet-and where il will
have the sun portion Of the day,
Almost any quantity of plants that
farmer may need, may be secured
in this way. Thin 50 that they may
have plenty of room, and when two
inches high transplant and set still
wider apart; at four or FIVE inches
high transplant again. This will
cause the plants to grow stocky and
strong, instead of tall and slender.
Hiransplanted with care, even n
third time, they will be all the bot
ter for il.
The best sell is a sandy pam,
made rich by manure that is oldand
wen rotted. Sow at different peri
ods so as to have plants coming in
succession; then il some fail, those
sOmipg may take their places.
These are mere suggestion; practice

From all the labors Of the Impeachment
Committee and the eloquence of the radicals
in Congress 1t appears that the President did
two things:-First, be "did issue an order" in
regard to the War Department; and, second,
in the course OF conversation with General
Emory, be expressed an opinion. An opinion
and an order-these are his high crimes and
misdemeanors. For these he is to be i'm
peached unler the constitution which classes
the impeachable high crimes and mlsdemean-
ors with bribery and treason. No corrupt
act is alleged. No bribe is shown as offered
not even that remotely constructive bribe, the
promise of an Office No act Of turpitude is
hinted-no immortality even; but the offences
are that he issued an order and that he spoke
his mind. His order was to another than Stan
ton to occupy Stanton's office. Some lawyers
declare that this violated an act of Congress-
They are generally lawyers expecting advance
ment in the radical party or lawyers with
eyesso trained to look at small points that they
cannot see large ones. 1t is their opinion that
the order is inconsistent with the stability Of
the solar system. There are other lawyers
who hold that the order was authorized by the
constitution and did not even offend this new
law. Thus the offensive character of the
order, and the guilt or innocence OF issuing
it, are altogether matters of opinion among
the lawyers-points at the worst in doubt
and this between the most learned men Of the
country. Aud of q doubt the accused must
have such benefit as the occasion admits. Can
impeachment, then, rest on such point! Can
it rest any better on dstorting into a crime
the saying that law was unconstitutional
Since when was this muzzling principle the
law Of the land!

Mexican Commcrce-Tho Trouble and the
Remedy.

Remedy.
Our special correspondence from Mazatlan,
dated January 20 and February 1, reveals q
multitude Of facts, which we need not here
repeat. largely accounting for the trouble that
prevails in Mexico and suggesting the remedy.
The salient point Of the irst letter is the fact
that the influence Of English and German gold
renders the land Of the Aztecs to-day the theatre
Of civil war anl insurrection. In direct con-
,raven.ion Of treaties between the United States
and Mexico .he rights, privileges and exemp-
tons with respect to navigation and commerce
which the citizens of the most favored nations
do or may enjoy are not enjoyed by the United
States, and higher duties are imposed on the
importations into the United Mexican States on
articles, goods and manufactures Of the United
States than on those Of other foreign countries
Our correspondent presents numerous instances
10 proof Of this statement In the second letter
II is painfully shown that anarchy and civil
war have become chronic in northwestern
Mexico. And u s impossible, In the light OF
the facts which are offered in both these letters,
to resist the conclusion that the only effectual
remedy for the troubles in Mexico will ulti-
mately be the peaceablc absorption Of oil these
populations, so manifestly incapable Of self
COVE rnment and OF the proper development of
the extraordinary resources OF Mexico into
the grea! republic on their northern border.

A Law for stanton.s Case.

1t was enacted by the Congress Of the
United States in 1861, that II any person shall
take or possess any property Of the United
States against the will or contrary to the
authority OF the United States, or by force or
intimidation or threat prevent any person
from accepting or holding any office or trust
or place Of confidence under the United States,
each or every person SO offending shall be
guilty of high crime, and, upon conviction
thereof in any district or circuit court of the
United States having jurisdiction, shall be
punished by fine Of not less than five hun
dred dollars and not more than five thousand
dollars, or by imprisonment, with or without
hard labor" Here is . law that properly
used, would send Stanton to the Dry Tortugas
1t covers his case to nicely. He holds the
War Department on warrant that is ex-
pired-that is, he holds it without legal
authority; and SO holding it he possesses"
the property OF the United States against the
will and in defiance of the President, who, as
the Executive, IL the real custodian fer the
United States Of that property. Moreover,
thus wrongfully holding that department, he
prevents "by force, intimidation and threat
a person commissioned by the President from
holding an "office or trust or place Of conf
dence." Proceedings against Stanton under
this law would best bring him within the reach
Of justice. They would expose his absolute
want Of title to the Office. and would put him
before the people in his proper character as
criminal and conspirator against the peace
of the country and the supremacy Of the laws.
No mere production Of the case on the writ Of
quo warranto could ventilate Stanton's mis-
chievous conduct 80 well as would his trial on
a criminal proceeding under this law.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and General
The speech of Henry Ward Beecher, at
Cooper Institute on Monday night in behalf of
the Washington College, Virginia, was a pro-
duction remarkable as much for its kindly
spirit as for its novelty, at time when the
party of which the speaker is supposed to be
shining light is dealing in stupidity, malice
and all uncharitableness at Washington. The
first resolution introduced by Mr.. Beecher, for
example, reads that ait is at once the duty
and the privilege Of those who maintained the
unity Of this nation by war to be foremost in
time Of peace In all works OF love which tend
to make the American people one in sentiment
as well as in government" How does that
harmonize with the action Of the Reconstruc-
ton Committee and Congress, whose "works
of love" are so beautifully demonstrated in
the Southern States through military rule and
negro supremacy?
But General Robert E. Lee is President Of
Washington College; and how does Beecher
cause because General Lee is President OF
it, No man more than l regretted his de-
cisIon; but knowing how human nature runs
cannot say was surprised, though grieved
do not know that If had been born and bred
in the South but what should have done the
same thing. But for Divine Providence he
would have stood in New York and been at
the City Hall debating terms to the people Of
the North. He failed. But General Lee
stands in New York tonight, not with his
sword debating terms, but as scholar, hold
ing out the hand Of peace and saying to US,
Give me bread for my scholars; give me
books for my scholarsp" And Beecher
pleads earnestly that Lee should have bread
and books not as matter of charity, but in
the form of justice, mingled little, perhaps,
with selhshness, or, as he calls II, self-preser-
vation for be argues that by fostering educa-
ton in the Southern States we confer
benefit upon the North. However, 1t is an ad-
mission worth obtaining just at this moment
when persecution, not unmixed with folly is
so rampant-that the South is not an outcast
and absolutely disinherited that she Is still
part OF the country, and has interests in COM
mon with US all.

A New Prlma Donna.

The audience that braved the inclemency of
the weather and the Alpine masses of snow in
the streets on Monday night last to attend the
performance of Ernani," at Pixies Opera
House, were rewarded by genuine sensation.
The Elvira on the occasion was q young
American prima donna, named Madame Agatha
States, who had already acquired distinction
in Italy, Paris and California. She appeared
on Monday for the first time before the critical
public of the American metropolis. The
strength and purity OF her voice, which COM
bines those rare qualities-volume, sweetness
and sympathy-and her graceful stage appear
ance, established her at once favorite on the
operate stage. The perfect ease with which
she sung the trying music of this difficult
opera, and the clear, ringing tones that told the
history of the unhappy Elvira. were greeted
with applause Of the most genuine and enthu-
siastic character. Madame States is another Of
those great artists whom America has pre-
sented to Europe in return for the celebrities
sent to us in the early days of opera in this
city. Italy can no longer claim the monopoly
Of artists for opera since American talent has
made itself known and admired in the leading
opera houses Of Europe. The Pattis-Adelina
and Carlotta-reign on the operate and
concert stage Miss Kellogg's debut in
London was o signal triumph Madame
Jenny Van Zandt (Signora VanzinD won sue
cess even in La Scala; Signorina Calista,
Boston lady, created q sensation In opera in
Copenhagen in presence Of the royal family,
and Miss Laura Harris is o favorite in Paris.
There are many more Of our countrywomen in
Europe who are preparing themselves for the
operate STAGE and Of whom report speaks in
the most 1attering terms In this city we
have plenty Of materials Of equal merit to
keep up the supply, and 1t is high time that
we should have the benefit of some for our
selves Art Is, Of course, cosmopolitan but
what is the necessity Of importing singers
from Europe when we have superior artists in
our midst The success Of Miss McCulloch
and Miss Phillips in this country is but an in
dication of what might be done for Italian
opera were American artists TO receive proper
encouragement There are too many induce
ments for first class European artists to remain
in their own country; and il often happens
that we receive only the refuse Of the trans
atlantic opera houses. Why not then,
endeavor to develop native talent, SO that
when We have the good fortune to procure a
great artist from Europe the surroundings may
be in keeping! At Pixies Opera House,
where the voice ID at home and il not SUBJ
jccted to the baleful influences Of the Cata-
combs, there Is an excellent opportunity to
carry out this feasible plan Of permanently
establishing Italian opera in New York.
