In response to the reiterated demands of the
press and the people for the city and county
accounts, the mayor has sent the county ac-
counts only to the board Of supervisors, with
the recommendation that they be referred to
several committees, TO be examined and report
ed upon. These accounts are not printed, al
though more than month ago the mayor de-
clared that they were in the printers hands,
and would be published in few DAYS. They
are in manuscript, and are so yoluminous and
made up in such confused way, that, of the
few persons who can have access to them, so as
10 make limited and partial examination, un-
der official surveillance, still fewer can get any
real information from them. Even this very
moderate concession to the imperative demands
Of the public has been withheld so long that it
comes with the suspicion of having been
prepared specially to mslead inquirers and con-
zeal the truth. Even from these unpromisng
materials the Times has managed to extract
some curious and instructive details. 1t pub
hshed yesterday some extracts from the ac-
counts, among other things the rents paid for
armories during the first quarter of this present
year. The whole sum is S67 400. Ten of these
so-called "armories" are unoccupied and are
merely UNFINISHED lofts over stables, for which
rent is paid at the rate of SIT 900 to s24 900
year. One of them is described as the armory
at "No. SO Cheystie street" when there is no
such place. The fortunate plasterer, Garyey.
and the lucky carpenter Miller, still draw hand
some sums from the county treasury, the latter
having been paid last spring $4,000 for work
on one armory.

MISTAKES IN MEDICINE.-The history of
medicine for the last fifty years tells tale either
OF great errors in the early practice of the period
or OF just as great in the present, or it shows
that methods of practice professedly at variance
can be alike successful. Not many years ago
calomel was considered the indispensable drug
in practice. The physician without calomel
was the artilleryman without his ammunition
Samson shom of his locks. The tongues that
were swollen, the teeth that were loosened the
gums that were made tender, modern physi-
clans say, will present horrible array of testi-
mOny when doctors get their deserts for mall
practice. But the men who believed the pa
tient was nothing unless he was bilious-who
believed that there was but one organ in the
body, and that the liver and that this was to be
unlocked at stated intervals, and swept and gar
nished with mercury-whO believed that in at
least half of the known diseases salvation and

GENERAL SHERMAN THE CoMISG MAN
y Washington correspondent Vf the Pittsburg
Paper, glancing at possible Radical candi-
dates for the Presidency in 1872, says:
"Well-informed politicians speak privately
of General William Tccumseh Sherman as
the man who will most probably be sustained
for nomination by the Republicans, who look
on Grant as Jonah to be thrown overheard
Sherman is said to be quietly taking his own
course in making his friends
Gen. Sherman does not consider the per.
sonal relations between himself and Grant are
such as to preclude his being candidate for
nomination, and thai he will certainly accept
if he be the choice of the National Conven.
ton. II is thought that if the opposition to
Grant in Republican ranks concentrates on
Sherman, it Will seriously eudauger Grants
chances for a denomination. The military
officers around Grants person. at the White
House, are said to look upon Sherman with
jealous aud untriendly eye, regarding him as
Arrival to their chief, aud they are supposed to
reflect Grants secret feelings" m

candidate It he VII. accept nomination from

A Good Story for the new Year.

.
In closing an excellent New Years sermon.
at the South Congregational Church, New
york, recently, the Rev. SIR. Parker related,
as illustrating the point Of his discourse, the
following story or parable, whose lesson may
well be taken into every heart:
A little girl came down stairs one Christ
mas morning, eager TO ascertain what gifts shO
had received, aud was panied aud chagriuei
to find that, while all the other members Of
the family had received beautiful and costly
presents, there was for her only large black
bag OF torbIdding appearance. 1t was locked.
and the key was nowhere to be found. bu, ON
the lock was this inscription: Il am worth
much to him who can open me-" While the
child was wondering how she could open the
bag, an angel suddenly appeared to her, and
told her that IT she would follow, observe, and
be docIle, the way to open the bag would be
revealed. -5E =
The child asseuted, aud siraich,way the
angel carried her TO the cold aud cheerless
house OF poor family, where the hungry in,
mates were toiiiuS TO obtain their daily bread.
"Oh, thought the child, ''if could but helm
these poor people, aud at the though, the
bag opened u little, and there was CLEAN of
silver within. She scattered some upon the,
hoor, and At once 4 cheerful fire burned ON
the hearth, bouutifuliy- laden table awaited
the hungry ones, aud want was succeeded by
comfort
The child and the angel passed on and came,
to a narrow room where tired seamstress was
devctiug her leisure moments TO teaching the
poor, half clad children of the neighborhood.
''Oh, thought the child again, '.igI could
but help this poor woman, /" aud the bag open.
ed little further, and there was,a glimmer
OF gold within. Some of this she scattered.
upon the floor, and Immediately the narrow
walls stretched away, aud the apartment be.
came spacious, handsomely furnished school.
room, where rows of nicely dressed happy
children listened attentiyely to words Of in-
stFuetIon from sweet-taced, patient teacher.
The child and the angel sped away on the
wings of the wind, across rTackless Seas 20 a
country where the sound of the church bell
had never been heard, where the words of the
gospel had never been preached. The Ueo.
pie bowed down before Idols. aud the dark
ness OF superstition and ignorance shrouded
the land, oh, cried the child. "if could
but bring the knowledge Of Christ 20 this un-
happy people !" Therea, the bag opened wide
and revealed within long coveted, lustrous
pearl necklace, which was all it continued
n moment the child hesitated. and then she
cast the treasure upon the earth, and 10 the
idols disappeared, churches spraug up, mission.
stations were established, aud white-wipged
mission ships sailed over the seas. Then the
chIid was taken back 10 her home. and there

Good and Bad Farm Stock.

There is no fact in agriculture more fully
established than that it will not pay to keep
poor stock, when II is possible 10 secure that
of better quality. 4 few years siuce the
rage Tor Durham, Aiderney, Devon and other
choice breeds of cattle prevailed very extern
lythroughOutt the country. Fabulous prices
were paid for superior animals of these breeds
and there appeared to be fair prospect of
something like a reform in the matter of stock
raising, Like SO many other movements in
agriculture, this spirit Of Improvement has
subsided, and we fnd our farmers relapsing
into their former apathy. Should this be
