Hint for Farmers.

The editor of rural Ohio paper
rakes out the following chunks Of
wisdom:
"The proper time to pull hemp is
any Friday that a good Judge may
select. Castor oil beans succeed
best inthe bowels of the earth. They
will soon work their way out. The
best preparation for hops is a toad
OF two in a hill. They will fairly
make the vines jump. The usual
time to put in rye is early in the
morning. Some husbandmen, esDec-
tally those in the city, continue to
run it in at intervals of half an hour
until bedtime. The practice is only
allowable in case of a dry season.
In reaping wheat never take it by
tbe beard. It is found to go against
the Grain. BuckWheat is not healthy
food. 1t is apt to cake upon the
stomach. Corn in the ear is apt to
to effect the hearing. 1t is apt to
make the voice husky. When dealt
out as army TatlOnS Ine kerneI shOuld
ALWAYS be served first and then the
men privately. Never plant your pO-
tatoes early. 1t is the early potato
that gets the worm. 1t is up hill
work with them after that. To be
certain Of the right kind Of squashes
compare them with your head. In
adopting this rule 1 first mistOok
pumpkins for squashes, but by con
tinued, careful comparison, I soon
learned to detect the difference.
But for some new beginners 1t re-
quires great caution. In making
cider out of apples 1 found 1t
pretty tight squeeze, notWithstan.d-
ing my long connection with the
press. Never drink ciber made from
crab apples. Hyou would lay IN a
supply Of old wine be sure to make
| it Of elder berries" :"

WELCOMED welcomed lovely may,
Coming now in bright array;
Ahthy charms again see,
And 1 gladly welcome thee.
Long Pve sadly wept the day
Thou dist leave me, lovely May;
Ger thy absence I have mourned,
For thy coming I have yearned.
Truly there have been with me
Other months, but none like thee,
None have seemed half SO dear,
Through the weary, dreary year.
None have entertained or blessed
Half so much, among the rest,
None are half so blithe and gay,
Or so charming, lovely May.
Gaily sing thy birds, o MayI
Through the hvelong, happy day,
Mong the trees and in the air,
In the fields and everywhere.
Everywhere thy flowers bloom,
And thy breath is all perfume;
Lading every breeze Of Spring,
With thy fragrance-blessed thingl
True, I'm older now than when
First I saw thee, but again
III be happy, III be gay,
As in childhood, charming May.
Often thou hast come to me
Since first 1 was charmed by thee,
Yet thy presence seems the same
AS when first to me thou came.
And 1 sing as merTily
As rung out my childish glee;
o, while thou art with me, then,
I'll be young in heart again.
Welcome! welcomed lovely May;
Thou hast come in bright array,
all thy charms again 1 see,
And gladly welcome thee.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR BOILER EXPLOSIONS.


The dire calamity of the explosion of the
steam boiler of the Westfeld has been followed
by several similar disasters in various parts of
the country. Possibly, these occurrences are
chargeable to different causes; but it Is graft
flying to notice that one immediate effect of
the Wcstfeld investigation has been to COM
pei the inquiry, Who is responsible2 We have,
just now, q new casualty of this class in New
York Bay, about which this question will be
asked. The boiler of the steam-tug George III.
Starbuck, which exploded on Saturday,
was so defective that the water and
steam actually poured out through apertures
made by drawing two bOt-heads through a
rusty spot in the boiler. Seven of these bolts
or stays had been patched, but these two had
not been. Now everybody will ask, Who is
responsible for this criminal negligence by
which a man was brought to his death7 Such
a question as this will be always possible of
answer, if the recommendation of the United
States Inspectors be adopted and one man on
every steam vessel be designated and so held
to be responsible. Whether steamboat be
intended for carrying passengers or not, there
should be regulation to fix somewhere the re-
sponsbility of caring for the safety of the
boiler.
To this point the Investigations Of the late
Board of United States Inspectors chiefly tend
There was not much question, after all, as to
the cause of the explosion. Given, a defective
sheet of iron in n boiler strain on the portion
of the shell where that sheet was laid, and the
steam gauges left to run themselves, and we
cannot greatly err in our conclusions. The In
spectors, therefore, find that the engineer was
carrying more steam than his certificate al
lowed that tho boiler had a flaw in it and
that the rupture began at that weak point. If
the provisions Of the law had been faithfully
observed, the sacrifice of life which occurred
on the WestGeld might have been averted
The Board Of Inspectors, whose report is pub
lished on another page of THE TRIBUNE,
proceeds to fix the responsibility for their
neglect of the laws The man who was acting
as engineer, at the time of the explosion was
no engineer, but n freman-hOnest and faith
full enough as an emplOy6 of the Company,
but utterly unfit 20 be put in charge of the

Parisians dwell with mach qualification on
every story that indicates any appearance OF
hostile preparation in Russia. The instant
conclusion, of course, is that Germany is
the Object of attack. The latest crumb Of
this sort of comfort is the report that an
important Russian parsonage" has told a
French diplomat, who is, probably, another
important parsonage, that the result Of tho
the late war was to place Russia in the posi-
ton of France after tho battle Of Sadowa.
This means that Russia seeing how rapid are
the strides of Germany toward military domi-
nation, has been forced to the conclusion that
she must do something to secure herself.
Ergo, Russia proposes forthwith to cripple
Germany, which will please the French very
much indeed.

There is an attempt on the part of the
Treasury Department, according to the re-
yised regulations for the Revenue Service, to
procure the enforcement OF the old law re-
Lifting to revenue enters. The Secretary calls
cttention to the fact that the Act of 1893, so
s-equently quoted to the disnay Of customs
Ulcers, requires that al inward-bOund vessels
.llen in with at sea within four marine
leagues of shore should be boarded by the
revenue officers, papers examined, matches
scaled up, and duplicate manifest duly GER
ti6ed. The Secretary orders all this done
hereafter, and particularly desires that all
small craft, pilot-bOats. etc, be examined Tor
Struggled goods. This is very fine in theory,
but quite impractieable nevertheless. 1t Is
true that tie law is so strict that q revenue

levers of tho engine, wbcre he was to
stand between life ind death for thousands of
daily passengers over the Staten Island ferry.
The ignorant negligence of tho engineer was
tho immediate cause of fAe explosion OF tho
boiler. Superintendent Brais,>ed Is responsible
for that unsdlled engineer-h. remain being
where no was and so the Superintendent
shares with his subordinate RESPONSE llity for
the fatal explosion. Thus say the Bo1rd of
Inspectors; and the public judgment will give
the Superintendent the larger share, and will
include therein Mr. Jacob Vanderbilt, who is,
or should be, something else than mere or
namental fgure-head of tho corporation Of
which he is President.
Hereafter, all laws relating to the protection
of the lives of passengers on steam vessels
are TO be thoroughly circulated among per-
sons in charge of the boilers and machinery.
These persons must be able TO read and un-
derstand the rules printed for their guidance,
and any infraction of the law is to be laid
directly upon tho responsible person in charge
of that vessel and the person so to be held
responsible must be sufficiently indicated.
The law as it stands is good enough. What
we want now is its thorough and rigid enforce
ment. 1t is natural for tho community to look
for the men to be held responsible for great
loss Of life. The Westfeld disaster has taught
us how to find them.

The Committee on the Army Reorganization
bill. in the French Assembly, is said to have
reported on Saturday in favor of abolition of
the National Guard, compulsory military ser
vice. prohibiting voting in the army, and for
bidding the employment of substitutes. This
has substantially been the action of the Com
mittee once before, as long ago as the middle
of July. If the bill pass finally, France will
have adopted the fundamental principles OF
the military system of her late victorious adj
versary in the field. 1t was obvious that the
universal enlistment of the whole people was
quite incompatible with the continuance Of the
National Guard.

We lately suggested, with reference to a
letter from New-Jersey touching the canvass
for Governor in that State, that no man
"whose hands are in any way tainted, or
"populaIly suspected of being tainted, by do
cling the work of Erien-that is of Fisk,
Gould g. Coin the Legislature of that State,
will do for Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. HereupOn, The Evening Courier New
ark rushes to the defense of Senator BEETLE,
saying,
Whatever his relations with the Erie Railroad Com
pany may have been-and must confess TO an utter
ignorance OF the ofenses with which, in certain quarters,
he stands chargedt hardly fair Just to hold
him responsible for the action of the Senate Of
the legislature"
THE TRIBUNE had nowise indicated Sena-
tor BEETLE, unless our words abOve-quoted may
be said to indicate him. And we here expli-
city remark that if Mr.. BEETLE did not "do the
"work of ErieD as aforesaid, then our strict
ures do not. apply to him. And as to holding
any man responsible for the action of the
Senate or of the Legislature in so far
as it was bis own action--we never thought
of it.
The Courier, we believe, processes friendship
for Senator BEETLE. We do not know that gen.
tleman, and have no reason specially to like
or dislike him; yet we have so much kindly
feeling for him as man and Republican
that we trust he has not many such friends
as The Evening Courier. Three such would be
enough to use up almost any ones popularity.

The cholera is reported to have appeared i'll
the province of Gumbinnen, East Prussia, on
the frontier of Russia. This is east OF Ko-
nigsberg, where the disease has, so far, been
very destructive of life One death from ehol-
era is said to have occurred at Paris, and,
Saturday, not to be OutdOne by European
cities, New-York had a short-lived sensation
in a report of one death in this city. The
unfortunate woman whose demise furnished
the basis of the story, however, is proved TO
have been taken off by just such an attack as
one might expect to follow repast of twenty
Over-ripe peaches, two cantaloupes, and a
watermelon, which was her last banquet.
