Grants Nepotism-A Relative Pardon

3 Wash. Cor. n Y. World, June H.
An extreme bad case of Presidential
nepotism has broken out in Kansas, and
from the circumstances alledged it is one
of the worst that has been developed since
the Grant family put on the robes of roy
atty. Some time ago Charles H. Hay
den was indicted at'Topeka, Kansas, for
robbery Of the mails. The evidence
against the criminal is said to have been
ample, and the case was to have come on
in the winter term oe the United States
Court, but the tie of consaguinity was
established to the Presidents satisfaction,
whenlthe latter ordered Attorney Geuer-
oil Alderman to direct the District Attor-
ney of Topeka to discontinue the ass up
on the restoration of the amount stolen by
the criminal. The following CORES pom

Extract from a Letter from Stan.
ley the New York Herald Ex.
plorer.

NEW YORK, July 2.-The Herald 3
dispatch from London says letter has
been received there from Stanley. the
Livingstone explorer, Of which the fol-
lowing is summary:
From Uniyanyhube, where Stanley
arrived September last, he intended ad-
vancing on Ujiji, but Mirambo, king
of Ujowa, declared that no caravan
should pass Ujiji except over his body.
The Arabs declared war and anticipate
victory. I gave assistance. The first
day in concert with the Arabs, we at
tackled two villages, captured, killed,
and drove away the inhabitants. The
third day the Arabs were ambushed
and routed with terrific slaughter. The
fourth day there was general deser-
ton of Arabs, and my own men, after
considerable difficulty, reached the
suburbs of Ujiji. L entered, firing guns
and carrying the American flag. The
astonished natives flocked out in
crowds with deafening shouts. I no.
tieed in the centre Of a group of Arabs
contrasting with their sunburnt faces,
a hale looking grey bearded white
man, wearing a naval cap with faded
gold band, and a red wooden shirt.
Preserving demeanor of calmness be-
fore the Arabs, 1 inquired, "Dr. Liv-
ingstone, 1 presume ?" He, smilingly
answered "Yes." He informed me
that he started in March, 1866, with
twelve Sepoys, nine Jaharra men and
seven liberated slaves. He travelled
up the banks of the Raruma. His men
got frightened and deserted him, and
reported Livingstone dead as an excuse
for their desertion. He crossed the
Chambezi, and found it not to be the
Portuguese Zambezi but wholly sep
arate river. He found it was called
farther on Lualaba. He explored sew
en- hundred miles and found that the
Chambezi is doubtless the source Of the
Nile; that the length of the Nile Is 25,-
90 miles. 1t is not supplied by the
Tonganyeka. He reached within one
hundred and eighty miles of the ex-
piored, when he was obliged to return
to Ujiji destitute. He here met me,
and we both left on the 18th Of Oct.
and arrived at Meparambe at the end
of November. We spent twenty-eight
days exploring the district together.
Livingstone left at Unepanyembe to
explore thenorth Of Tonyonyika Lake
and the remaining one hundred and
eighty miles of the Lualaba river. This
will occupy the next two years.

when Should Grain Be Cut.

Older countries than ours, have giVeT
this question much attention, and pub
lie opinion there has settled down upOr
the fact, that it should be some days be
fore the grain is ripe.
1t is not singular that such should bt
the ease. There is period when the
grain of the wheat plant will yield the
most -four. Cut earlier or later thar
this period, and it will yield less flour
and offs poorer quality.
Those persons who make sugar from
the beet, have learned that if the root il
harvested before it has thoroughly
reached maturity, it does not yield g
fair proportion of fsaccharine juices.
A peach must ripen perfectly on the
tree, in order to be excellent. No sys.
tenn of culture, no art of man, or magic
Of manures, can make it perfect one,
unless it does so ripen.
On the contrary, most pears are ruin
ed ifallowed to ripen on the tree.
There may be other illustrations to
show that it is not asingular thing that
wheat, rye, barley and oats, should be
harvested a few days before the ker-
nels of grain are thoroughly ripened.
We have tested it sufficiently to thor
oughly believe that such is the case.
Our practice is, to cut the grain as soon
as the earliest part Of the crop has pass
ed from the milky into the doughty
state. By placing kernel of the grain
between the thumb nails and jamming
1t down, the true time Of cutting can at
once be ascertained. IF the milk flows
freely, it is too early; but if the kernal
mashes down into a doughty consistency
showing particle Of milk, then is just
the time.
Another very important point In
cutting at this moment, is, that the
straw is much more valuable than when
left standing longer. There is no me-
cessity toilet it lay to cure, but it should
be at once tied up, and the bundles set
in stocks. If the stocks are then cover
ed with caps, grain and straw will come
to perfection.
Those who have had abundant ex-
perience in the matter, state that the
advantages Of this mode Of harvesting
are, the grain is heavier, sweeter and
whittier; there Is no loss Of shattered
grain, and the straw Is 50 much better
that this alone would make 1t advisa-
BILE to cut early.
The most careful attention has been
given to this subject in England.
There, indeed, they can afford expen-
sive experiments. On some estates,
where the proprietor has an annual in
come of some 100000, and has the
desire to be useful to the world, such
experiments have been made as to
settle many questions in regard to the
cultivation Of crops. This question Of
the best time of harvesting grains, was
one Of them.
In the second volume OF British Hus-
bandry, it is said,-"Taking all things
into consideration, 1t seems to be the
most prudent plan to have the grain
cut before it Is fully ripe; but in this, 81
medium course should be adopted; for,
although grain, II allowed, to become
too ripe, assumes dull, husky hue in
