Mn. SCuUM Proves lT.-Senator Schurz
having stated in his speech at St. Louis that
President Grant had offered him the patronage
Of the Government If he would support him in
the ST. Domingo scheme, this statement Of
the Senator was met with denial on the part
Of the President. question of veracity being
thus raised, Senator Schurz addressed letter
to Gen. Pleasonton, late Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue, who was cognizant of the
matter, requesting statement of what he re-
! membered of the conversation on this subject
with the President. To this Gen. P replies:
New YoRK, July 25, 1872.
| DEAR GENERAL OF course have no objec-
ton to your giving my name 10 the public.
In explanation of the facts, would say that,
being a friend Of the President as well as OF
! yourself, | desired that you should be on good
| terms, and that you should understand that
there was no personal feeling in the way OF
relations mutually satisfactory.
Your statement is correct that the President
wanted your support for his Sanlo Domingo
scheme, and that you could have had the pat
tr0nZe OF the Government for giving it. That
was the distinct impression the Presidents
conversation made upon my mind, and com
municated it to you ut the time. II the Presl-
dent positively denies having had any such
conversation, ! regret it but | may console
myself with the reflection that this is the first
time that any statement Of mine has been ques-
toned, while the President has had occasion
before this to dstrust the accuracy Of his re-
collections.
Truly yours, a. PLEAsoSToN,

A SONG FOR THE GIRLS.
Dear girls, for moment just listen

Dear girls, for moment just listen to
NE,
I'm going to sing you a song;
And pray don't be tossing yolr beauti-
full heads,
AS ! soberly trundle along.
I'm going to tell of pert little maid,
Like some III be bound you all know,
, Who, pouting, and signing, was con-
stantly crying,
Il wish I'd string to my bow"
Now, perhaps, you may say, "Well and
where was the blame !
A woman should ne'er dwell alone ;
You surely can't think there was much
fault to find,
When the poor thing sighed only for
me y
l grant you're quite right, had her long
ings stopped there
But did one content her On, no !
As soon as one swain dangled after her
train,
She sighed for more strings to her
bow
New lovers in plenty came lowering
round,
Each counting favorite smile;
But, tickle as Fortune, she tritled and
played,
And, of course, she grew older the
while.
All little she dreamt of her hard fate
in store
Of her roses fast ceasing to glow;
Till she found, to her griet-Time-
that pitiless thief
Had plucked every string from her
bow.
BE warned then, dear girls-of coquet-
ting beware,
Or my moral You'll prove to your
cost;
Aud find, like poor puss IN the fable OF
old,
That you've played with the mouse
till it's lost.
Plain English advice I'm presuming to
give
You'll take it in Kindness, | know
If you'd make good wife, and be happy
for life,
Be content with one string 10 your
bow.

1t is, however, curious and
well attested fact that, although a
mountain ash will not change into q
pear, it roots may be grated after
the usual fashion with pear-cions.
The kind Of pears which do best on
mountain ash roots are Bartletts
and Flemish beauties, according to
= correspondent of the Prairie Tar.
n'er, who claims to be the discov-
erer OF the process. He says that
the mountain ash root is best for
pears in a northern latitude, because
It is perfectly hardy, its season of
growth is short, ceasing action ear
~ in the autumn, "ripening up the
tree and in that way making it more
hardy" 1t is not yet certain that
all varieties Of pears will flourish
grated in this way, but that many
will do we'll seems to be certain.

"Leather Worker" in the Canada
Farmer, gives the following direc-
tons for skinning animals, which
will be of value to farmers who NAV
not be posted upon the easiest way
to conduct this operation. He
says:
We suppose the animal dead and
placed on its back; the operator, by
thrusting his knife point foremost
and edge up, makes . slit the entire
length Of the carcass from the chin
over the center of the breast in the
line ofthc naval to the vent. Let
him now stand by its side, with his
face looking the way the head lies,
and taking the forefoot in his left
hand, run the point of his knife in
the line of the cleft of the foot and
cap Of the knee, up the front of the
leg and into the central slit Of its
