The Boston Transcript publishes, under the
title Of IA Dream By Federal Officer" an api
illustration OF the late Congressional SALARY grab.
The dream recitea that the officer was employed
in the sub-Treasury, and that, having lived
more expensiveiy than his salary justified, be
found himself in debt. To get rid Of the debt
he took $4,000 Of the public money, was arrest
cd and indicted, and knowing Of no defense
pleaded guilty. When about to be sentenced,
the court was disturbed by the entrance Of q
stout, vigorous man, having smooth head
He rushed to the prisoner, and, swelling with in
dignation, demanded, "How far has this non-
senBe gone :" This mans name was Ben
Butler. Addressing the prisoner he said !:
Government. and prices having risen sincs John
Adams Administration, it has required moro
than your salary to support your family in .
frst~class hotel, and so you have helped yourself
money" Violently striking bis round fist upon
the rail, "Good God, and they dare accuse you
Of embezzlement. Why, you've only drawn
back pay.'
Then, addressing tho Court, Butler stated the
facta, threatened the newspapers With libel
suita, and thus closed his argument:
Can 1t be that the citizens and courts Of Massaehu-
setts hare not learned that Government servants need
no longer gauge their living by their salaries rather
than by their tastes2 Are they not that public
officers may reasonably supplement their salaries by
recourse to the public funda7 g Dunn rfrinus, uira~
.us," Is the motto Of the national service. Have
not the public heard that the members Of the Congress-
Of tho United States whose hotel and other expenses
had exceeded the amount ct their eaIases hare just
taken with the justification under which this de-
fendant has acted, million aud = half dollars
from the National Treasury Do they not comprehend
that money thus appropriated to himself by public
servant is regarded back pay2" In the Of i'm
partial justce, in the fair OF equity, AK what
is Tho difference between the act OF Congressman
who draws back pay " and that Of ths defendAnt7
The Court suggested that the cases we're par
al1el, when the prosecutor replied that the Con-
g1esBmen had protected themselves by vote
To this the Court answered: stLet no such thin
technically distinguish the Washington from
the Boston embezzler. The defendant may pass
vote confirming his act with equal moral
effect" The prieoner was then discharged, and
left the box with tho oomp1acency OF perfectly

4 recent cable dispatch, dated Copenhagen,
April l, announced that tho Folkething, tho
Lower House of the Rigsdag, had passed vote
declaring want Of confidence in the Danish
Ministry, which, to most readers, conveys about
as much meaning as corresponding sentence in
Choctaw. The Rigadag, or Danish Parliament,
is divided into two Houses,- LandsthinE
(senate) and Folkething blouse Of Rep
1esentatives). There is no hereditary con-
dition attaching to tho Landsthing.
Twelve OF its members are nominated
for life by the Crown for distinguished
service, the remainder being chosen for eight
years by electoral bodies made up OF the largest
taxpayers in the country and city districts. Tho
Folkething has 101 members, who arc elected
for three years. The conditions for the e1ar-
has reached hin 25th year, that he is not in tho
receipt OF public charity that he is not in private
service without having his own household, and
that he has resided at least one year in
the district where he votes. All men over 80
years Of age, who have good reputation, can be
elected to the Folkething. The Royal Pnyy
Council is the Kings Cabinet, and consists OF
seven departments-the President Of the Council
Of Ministers and tho Ministers Of Foreign AZ
fairs, interior, Public Education and Ecclobias-
tical Affairs, Justice, Finance, and War. They

A PLEA FOR THE FORESTS.

CONTINUED.

(COHtiHusd)
One of the most important purposes which
the presence of forests subserve is their bene-
fetal infdence upon the climate of country
as regards its thermal, electric and hygrome-
trio condition.
In determining the exact influence Of for
osts upon the climate of a country, it will be
seen that many things arc necessary to be
taken into consideration. 1t is requisite to
know the geographical position and geologic
al formation of the country, its latitude, its
proximity to, or remoteness from, the sea,
the nature of its soil aud its subsoil and
many other things The action of forests
further depends upon their extent, and the
species Of trees which compose them, whether
the leaves be caducOus or persistent, &c.
The calorfc influence of forests is impor.
tant. They coat the earth and keep it warm
in winter, shutting in the central heat which
would more rapidly radiate into space

without any impediment from the frost
while in the open field foot or more of fro.
zen earth may be found, Forests act mol
less favOrably as protection from the ex'
cessive heat Of the summers suns.
1t is said that the first mahogany cutter:
in the immense topical forest of Honduras
found the cold so great they were obliged to
build fires to keep themselves warm, al
though within l6S of the equator.
Forests screen the soil from solar radiation
and produce frigoriac effects through the
strong aqueous Transportation of the leaves
and by multiplying, through the expansion
of the branches, the surfaces, which, acquir
ing heat by the action of solar radiation, are
again chilled by the nocturnal emission o.
heat. A tree, as may be proved, grow
warm or cold somewhat like other bodies
and consequently partakes more or less il
the variations Of the temperature Of the am
bient medium. Nevertheless trees, espe

1t will be seen by reference to the above
tables, that the different superphosphates
gave good results, in the first plat with no
manure, the product being greater than with
hog manure, with the exception Of Goes. BY
the last column it will be seen the result is
better with the superphosphates than in plat
second, which received top-dressing of sta
Bile manure.
In plat No. ., Bradley's and the Cumber-
land, only, are superior to that receiving the
hog manure.
On the portions receiving the hog manure
the growth of stalks was greater, and in plat
first the ears Of corn the largest.
The row that had Bradey's in addition
was the incest of all, yet it will be seen
that the product was only one and two
pounds greater than where the phosphate
was used alone.
This model might do for securing a crop,
otherwise it would hardly pay. Really the
most profitable results were obtained by the
use of the hog manure, although it does not
appear so in the last column, as the same as
the other fertilizers, when it was manufac.
turcd at home. Were it to be purchased at
its full value, it would undoubtedly be dearcr
than good superphosphate.
The "Green Mountain Soluble Phosphate"
is manufactured at Burlington. under the
direction of Prof. Peter Collier, Secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture. BY analy.
sis 1t contains at least three times the amount
of Soluble Phosphoric Acid that is claimed
for either OF the other brands used. This
costs much more than the other, 500 per
ton, the others 500. | am disappointed in
its effects on corn in my case, as this grain
contains large amount of phosphoric acid,
and it did not produce as good results as
either of the others, only in one instance
! Perhaps it has done better in other instances
Much has been said within the past year
by scientific men in relation to the phosphor-
ic acid contained in superphosphates its
most valuable property, returning to an in
soluble state by being kept, thus reducing
its value accordingly. | had last spring a
barrel OF Bradeys which had purchased
two years before, but had not opened, and
concluded to test this point in my first ex-
pertinent on corn The result is seen above.
This old superphoSphate gave the greatest
yield Of any. The reason of there being a
greater proportion OF soft corn, was that the
stock containing it was injured more than
the Others by the excessive rains. used
this barrel on all my experiments, excepting
the corn, and always with good results
Further concerning this will not remark
here, only suggesting that practice must go
with science and theory, before a point can
be fully settled,
Experiment with Potatoes.

scurfy, had been in pasture previous to 1871,
