The more married men the fewer
crimes there will be. Marriage renders
man more virtuous and more wise.
Az unmarried man is but half of a
perfect being, and it requires the other
half to make things right; and it can
not be expected that in this imperfect
state he can keep the straight path Of
rectitude any more than boat with one

An Euglish writer of a hundred

the potato: This root increases pro-
digiously, and is very proper for feeding
and fattening cattle. I hey are boiled in

though they may have been kept two
months in the store. Cattle eat them
raw, but Tor the table they are
wholesome boiled. / earnestly

food for cattle, but good for man 10

the taste becomes at least as agreeable as

are boiled with bacon and salt pork"

an air of offended dignity, the attorney turn
ed to Chief Justice Brigham, who remarked
with smile, II think the witness Is about
right in this, is she notg" Which reminds
the older members of the bar OF similar ad-
venture thata still more distinguished menu
ber of the Berkshire bar once met at the
hands of Chief Justice Shaw. ''Where did
you get the money with which yoa made
the purchases spoken of?'' asked the ''learn-
ed brother" OF witness under the tortures
of cross examination. '.None of your (gen-
tie expletive) business !" thundered the VIC

THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE ABUSES.
What the President Says About 1t.

The President, as a general thing, says
very little in reply to charges made against
him. The Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald represents the fol-
lowing statement as coming from him in
reference to the custom house affair in
New York: fEtkF rt
The President has never hesitated to ex
press his opinion on the investigation. He
said yesterday to prominent citizen of
New York that he was watching this in
quiry with deep attention; that there
could be no inquiry too thorough, and that
he would be swift and relentless in dealing
with any one who had done violence to
the law or the established customs of the
government. Speaking of the Leet mat
ter, and Colonel Leet accepting $1,000
year from BiXby while he was holding
place in the War Department, he said it
was simply an infamous transaction, and
no friend of his could in any way be q
party to it. So far as Leet is concerned,
he said he'wOuld of course remove him
from the position he held, unless suffi-
cient defence was made-such defence as,
he feared, from the evidence, it would be
impossible to make. He furthermore CEN
sured Mr.. Grinnell for having taken cog
nizance of the transaction, and added, en-
phatically, that had he known Of this con-
nivance on Mr.. Grinnell's part he would
have dismissed him from the Collector
ship at once, and that he would have done
the same with Mr. Murphy. ri rfg q f
He had seen no evidence that Mr.. Muir
ply was in any way aware of the BiXby-
Leet transaction, although he was very
sorry that Mr.. Murphy had not taken his
advice and removed Leet when he re-
quested it. So far as Let is concerned,
the President furthermore said that he
knew him only in a general way as a
junior member of rather large staff, and
that he had made no impression upon him,
except as that of a kindly, discreet, amia-
Die and industrious young man, who was
adjutant or something of the. kind; that
when the war was over and his staff was
about to go to pieces, on account of his ac-
ceptance of the Presidency, General Raw
Inns came to him and asked him to write q
letter for the young man, who was going
to New York to seek his fortune that
Rawlins had special interest in him, and
that, as much to oblige Rawlins as any
thing else, he wrote the letter, surprising
that, at best, Mr.. Grinnell would give him
little place of some kind until he got into
business. OF course, the President said
the Blxby transaction makes it impossible
for Leet to hold his present or any office,
nor would any one who knew of it be per-
mitted to share his friendship. Such men
he regarded as enemies of his administra-
ton, not in the sense of active opponents,
but in more dangerous sense, for they
sacrificed the administration and the best
hopes of the party to their own avarice and
