The New York Times says the whole
country expects to see Gen. Grant en-
Ter. at his accession, upon bold, reese
olute and determined crusade against
Government plunderers; and the holder
and more resolute he makes It, the more
com pletely will he be supported. The
Tenure Of Office bill ought to he recalled
Gen. Grant should be left entirely free
to undertake and execute such reforms
In the civil service as may be required.
If Congress sees the wisdom OF making
GOOD behavior the sole tenure OF office,
let it adopt Jenckes' Civil Service bill,
but until some general provisions of this
sort are adopted General Grant should
have the full power over appointments
and removals which the Constitution
gives him.

No policy(P),

Those who claimed, during the late
pslltical campaign, that Gen. Grant had
no policy because he was not given IA
making speeches and writing letters are
beginning 10 discover their mistake
Now that he is at the door OF the White
House, when opinions from him have,
virtually, the weight Of Presidential
declarations, he speaks, and with no
dull uncertain sound. Every one must
understand that the President-elect has
declared war upon official corruption,
let It exist wherever II may. And
knowing, ~ the people Of the United
States have reason to know, Grants
habit Of demanding and exacting from
the enemy his own terms Of "unc"ndi'
tional surrender" they have sufficient
cause for believing that order will come
out or cl,aOs and honesty supplant dis
honesty when U. 8. Grant holds the
executive authority.

Durability of Timber.

Beginners arc often greatly perplexcd
about the proper season for selecting
timber. A great difference of opinion
exists upon the subject, chiefly owing to
the fact, that very few persons have
systematically experimental, or kept
notes of the result of their experiments.
Every young farmer will be surprised
often, by the want Of practical informa-
tion among his seniors, and more Mt the
discrepancy of opinions upon subjects
about which it would seem to him every
body should agree.
An experience of many years, backed
by the experience of many practical
farmers and mechanics, has led the
writer to the conclusion that the proper
time to select timber for durability, is in
the early spring, when the sap is flowing
freely. Every old farmer knows that
rail made out of u tree deadened when
the bark slipped freely. will last as long
again as one made out of tree cut in
the winter.
An experienced and intelligent wagon
maker told the writer that he could blow
through spoke cut in the winter, while
one cut in the spring would not admit
breath. have seen boards got in March
which were sound, when boards ont of
the same kind of timber got in Decom-
Der, had completely rotted The reason,
we think, is obvious. Timber cut when
the sap is running freely, contracts
rapidly, and the pores are all closed; (;
while timber cut in the winter, while
the peres are open aud dry, will always
admit water by capillary attraction, and
hence decay more readily,
The opinion you sec SO often ventilated
In the papers, that posts set wrong end
up" will last longer than those set as
the tree grew, is all humbug.
Charring post is protection. The
point which always begins to decay first,
il whore it comes in contact with the
ground-"between wind and water" to
use the sailors expression.
Black walnut, wild cherry, mulberry
cedar and post oak, make the most
durable posts. Chestnut is liable to be
destroyed by worms, and so is sassnfras.
We would like to have the experience
Of fpractical farmers and mechanics upon
th;s subject, and have thrown out tho
above notes as provocatives.

From out the mighty sheaf,
And fairy songs were ringing
In tune with every leaf.
The burden ever bearing,

TO mourn departed pleasures
Is Autumn's mournful fate.
