The fragments which people bring away
from dining.rooms or coffee houses
seem strangely to lose their brilliancy
when repeated in cold blood When
we are told that such or such a remark
threw whole audience into convulsions
of laughter, we are inclined to wonder
whether there are some specisl charm
in the speaker, or whether the wine was
specially good, Or the anecdote cruelty
misreported.i Few indeed Of all the
conversational gems that once flashed
so brightly are capable of sparkling

Some experiments upon the snutritiye
value of clover hay, are, reported, by
Wagner, q German In q field 81 red
clover three contiguous parcels ofeauais
size were; measured off. From one thes
clover was,cut May %, just before, the
beginning y of the blossom; from the
second, June 10, in the full blossom
and from the third, July l. toward the
end of the blossom. The amounts :ofs
hay obtained were, S5, ia and rl2S
pounds respectively. The hay was ana
lyzed, and its nutritive value thus esti,
mated It appeared that the nitro seN
nious substances were about thes same
in all, and thatsthe oldeskay contained
also much larger percentage ofcrade
fibre, and that its ingredients were So
much, less digestible, that its, nptri.iye
value was. less than that, of the smaller
but younger crop. The author recon
mends, therefore, that clover be geut
either when in fulEsblossom, sars even
before the beginning of the blossom.vsA

GRANT d RICHARDsoN.-The Secretary
of the Treasury is by the Constitution
the officer of the House of Representa-
tives. 1t is the especial duty of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means to look close
ly into his official conduct, and to pro-
coed against him for malfeasance or mis-
feasance. II the President, by word or
act, interferes to obstruct investigation
or punishment, then it is the plain duty
of the committee to report that fact to
the House, and of the House to act upon
it. The neglect of this duty by either
the House or its committee is crime
against the Republic. If President
Grant has tried to shield and protect this
man Richardson, or to conceal his Of
lenses, then President Grant himself
should be impeached, and that, too,
without consulting the Senate as to the
chances of conviction. The House owes
duty to the country separate from the
Senate; and it is to be- above all things.
just to the country. If it be true, as re-
port says, that, in spite of the proven
crimes which make it necessary for Rich
ardson to get out of the Treasury De-
partment, the President intends to nom
mate him to the vacant seat in the Court
| of Claims, we have no hesitation in de-
nouncing it as shameless and disgrace
full insult to the country, and the act of a
tyrant, in whose character insolence and
stupidity must be about evenly balanced.

"ON TO MEXICO. The annexation of
Mexico has frequently been urged by the
Southern press, and the idea has always
been a popular one with the people of
that section. Tom Scott is said to have
long had an eye on Mexico as field for
future railway enterprises, and the min
eral resources of that country have been
regarded with covetous eyes by certain
capitalists and Adventures. From time
to time abortive attempts have been
made to originate movement of hoist
ing the Stars and Stripes over the City
of Mexico. Just now the South is look
ing to the annexation of Mexico as a
means of getting rid of her difficulties at
home, while giving her young men new
field for adventure and profit. A promi-
nent ex-Confederate, now a member of
Congress, in compliance with numerous
requests, is to call upon the President
within the next few days to ascertain his
views upon the subject. If the Presi-
dent proves friendly to the enterprise, or
will give assurances that this government
will not interfere, the movement will at
once take practical shape, and the cry Of

RICHARDSON AGAIN.-The outrage OF
nominating Secretary Richardson 10 the
Judgship of the Court of Claims is at
tracing very general attention and COM
ment from the public press throughout
the country, aud we have yet to see a
journal which defends it. To add, if pos
sible, to this bold defiance of public opin-
ion, the report is found among the letters
from Washington that the President has
said that the delinquent Secretary could
keep his position so long as the news
papers were clamoring against him. We
are inclined to doubt very much the
truth of this rumor. We hardly believe
that Grant, with all his simulated con-
tempt for newspapers, would have made
SO unbecoming remark. But leaving
that part of the matter out of considera-
ton, the unpaatabel, disgraceful, but
nnmistakable fact remains, that the
present President Of the United States
considers incapacisy, negligence, mis-
feasance, bordering close on to malfeas-
ance, of great public officer, as claim
to the elevated and dignifed position Of
the judicial bench. In this respect, oul
bull-headed cousins over the water Dc
better than We. They do not ehoos
their judges from disgraced, incapable
and censured ministerial officials. They
find better material there, and it coulG
also be done in the United States.

THE PUBLIC PRESS.

1t has become the fashion among Re-
publican leaders in both Houses of Con-
gress, to pretend to deny and despise
the public press. We say pretend, be-
cause the position they assume is the
merest sham and humbug possible and
under the very thinnest disguise. They
doubtless do hate and fear the press. 1t
exposes their villainy, shows up their
short comings, and turns them over after
their doings have been fully discussed
to the popular indignation they have SO
Justly excited. Malefactors have sell
dom any great love for the detective who
arrests them aud brings them TO punish
ment. So it is scarcely to be expected
that some of the rogues who now dis
grace the Senatorial Legislature, should
not feel very sore at the castigation they
frequently receive. That very soreness
is proof OF their guilt; if they were inno-
cent they could easily demonstrate the
fact, but they are not, and they know it,
and conscience makes towards of us
all. This affected, insolent and naughty
contempt appears to be infectious. The
Sacramento Union says that it has
reached the President, and that he toe
sneers at and is needless of the public
press of the country, when its counsel'
do not happen to suit bis views. 1t is tc
be hoped that this report is not correct
Be that as it may, we trust that the day
may never dawn that will witness il
these United States, a public press
under the censorship OF officials, or We
nal enough to praise whenit should con
denim, for fear of offending the powers
that be. If that day does ever come
American liberty will have fed.
