SPEECH OF DAVID A. WELLS At
CINCINNATI, APRIL 81.
ANOTHER VALUABLE PLEA FOR REvENus
REFORM.

ThesHon. David A. Wells on being in
PRODUCED, was received with cordial ap
plause. He said he was sorry for two
things: First, that he should have SC
long delayed acceptance sof the kind in
vitation of the citizens Of Cincinnati tc
address them on subjects interesting &c
the whole country, and for which he
must plead prior engagements which he
could not control and, secondly, he was
sorry that, coming here for the first time
as n stranger, he feared he would not
present clear bill of character, not hav-
ing any certificate to bring, either from
Mr.. Greeley or his friend Mr.. Kelley, or
from the manufacturers of pig iron, cot
ton and wool. He was afraid if they
gave him any there might be dark init.
nations of British gold, palatial resi-
dences. These compliments were some
times so forced upon him that he would
sometimes furtively put his hands to his
head and look down at his feet to ascer
tain if horns and hoofs had begun to
grow. Laughter. If he had not al
ready, he hoped to recover the character
which some of his old friends thought he
mad utterly lost. ,s ~ .aaa
Mr.. Wells introduced an illustration
which served as the key note to his ad-
dress. Sitting in his office at Washing.
ton, a Connecticut manufacturer of butts
bolts and hinges called in upon him.
He was reader Of the Tribune, but,
nevertheless, scarcely believed in the
total depravity of Mr.. Wells. In his
business he used considerable scrap iron,
and formerly did a good business in the
West. That business fell off consider
ably. The best scrap iron was imported;
and now these Pennsylvania fellows pro-
posed to put up the duty on scrap iron to
such an extent as to render Importation
impossible, which would pretty much use
up the business, as he would not get any
iron as cheap and good as that old scrap
ircn; and he thought Congress had no
right to dictate what sort of iron he
should use for his hinges, butts and bolts
He was, therefore, determined to stand
by Wells, and would willingly play mis-
slonary in Connecticut in the distribution
of free trade tracts. @ r
Mr. Wells said he had selected for his
subject a question that came home to the
Interests OF every man, woman and child
in the country, and was intimately con
cnoIected with the social and
moral in Interests of the country,
as well as its. material pro.
gress, which he believed must precede.
all Other progress. When the industrial
and finantla1 condition, of the country
was sound heaithful, every department Of
industry grew and developed regularly 4
then it is that the natural surplus Of the
production over consumption rises to its
ma ximum, and the natural productions

VITA harmony between labor and capital.
Then it is that government takes the
smallest amount in taxes, that is necessary

his little daughter, brjght-eyed child
OF Blk or seven years old. The man re.
sisted the efforts of oil persons to take
him home. bnt was perfectly passive in
the hands OF his child. After getting
her father to the steps, the little girl
threw her arms around his neck and
kissed him. All who witnessed the
-scene and the action were eaffected-some
to tears. There is power in that little
chiid's love to win her father back to
sobriety aud virtue-if there be aught OF
manhood left him.

EG A correspondent of the New England
Farmer, A. W. Cheeyer, Sheldonville,
Mass, says 1.-THE more ] become ac-
quainted with this grass the better like
it, Not the least among its merits is its
hardness. 1t stood the hot, dry weather
last summer better than any other valua-
bic grass with which am familiar. 1t
should be sowed thick. I think two BUSH
els not too much seed for an acre and it
must be cut early, before it is in full
bloorn, to have the hay of the best quality.
On rich, moist land 1t is as sure to yield
three crops in year, as is red-top to give
one. Unlike clover, it never inelines to
blossom but once in season; the sec
ond and third crops are mostly leaves, and
the best feed for cows in the winter ever
grew. 1t is good grass TO SOW in early
spring with clover, but without grain
Two good crops of leafy hay may be
counted on the first year, and three crops
a year afterwards, as long as the land will
carry it out. ] believe it the best of grasses
to sow where intend to keep the crop up
by top dressing. The dressing should be
spread Immediately after removing the
hay, and should be well brushed down |;
then the new crop will come up, and in q
very few days cover the ground and keep
it from dying. / would recommend it to
any who is not afraid to begin haying the
last of May or the first of June. BY the
10th of June it is in full bloom in this lati-
tude, and past its best condition for hay. I
have grown it five years, and like it SO
well that intend to sow it this spring on
