The New York 7ribune's assertion

The New York Tribune's assertion
that Mr.. Garfield, chairman of the
Committee on appropriations, had in
augurated the first steal OF this session
by proposing half million annual
subsidy to the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, came to grief yesterday in
the House.
From explanations made by Messrs.
Garfield and Tyner it appears that the
post Office appropriation bill has not
yet been matured by the committee,
nor, OF course, reported to tho House.
That journal may have been misled,
as Mr.. Garfield charitably suggested !;
but it commits such errors so frequent
Iy in its reflections on public men Of
the opposing party as to lead many to
suppose il to be of deliberate slander
We regret its misfortunes in this re-
spect very much, because it greatly
weakens its influence on the public
mind for good. lie who is found con-
stantly crying, "Wolf! wolfn when
there is no wolf, cannot be credited
even when he tells the truth.-W Wash
ington Chronicle.
Who ever supposes that 1t Is the
intention even that the New York
Tribune should be edited upon fair
and honorable terms cannot have read
that paper much for two years past, or
else having read II, the party himself
who expects it to deal fair, or that It
is honorable, lacks materially in
judgment, or that commodity called
honor himself. There are few more
mendacious and unprincipled sheets
now published than that Same Tsi-
bune. In the attack referred TO upon
Gen. Garfield, its object was not to
make public the truth, but ON the con-
trary its sole aimwas to injure tho char
acter and reputation of Garfield and The
Republicans, and to do 90 1t was full
as easy and palatable to the Tribune 70
lie as to tell the truth. Tho moot tLas
can be said Of tho Tribune in regard
to this particular case IL that II did
not perhaps falsify with its usual eau.
tion.

BOURBON GADRBEI.e IN IOWA.

II TIE efforts OF the putrid old Bourbon
corpse to drag itself ont Of the last ditch
are more desperate in one locality than in
another, that exceptional locality must be the
State of Iowa. In that State, the old poiiti-
cal carcass was buried fifteen years ago, 80
deep that it was believed by most people
that the sound OF the trumpet Of the resur-
rection would never reach il. But there
were few hopeful and ''rock-rooted" souls
that would not accept any such notion.
The professional blowers Of the Bourbon
bugle,--the Henry Clay Deans, LIE Grand
Byingtons, Dennis Mahonys, d. o. Fiuches,
NJ. NJ. Hams, and some other high priests
in the Bourbon synagogue, continued to
assert, with the oracle Of Tammany, that
the venerable CARCASS, though Eufisd II

thousand, nevertheless was An 'sexisting
fact,' .trock routed" ssmountain- -buttress-
ed" bore an "indissolube life," and was
bound to drag its rotten old corpus, in some
way or other, out of the "last ditch" Full
Of wrath, therefore, weru these fossil blow
ers OF the Bourbon b1gle when the exe,u-
tors aud administrators upon the bankrupt
estates OF the unlamented defunct struck Q
tinal balance, closed up the books, threw mp
the sponge, pronounced the eJold cadAyer in-
dubitably dead. preached its funeral oration,
and went aud joined the grangers. From
that time to tile present Messrs. Ham. Finch
and a few other impeEishabls specimens Of
paleozoic politics, have been skulking
around tie place Of sepulture. Watching and
waiting for an opportunity to dig open the
grave and snatch the bad.su.elling old body.

possible amount of heat in generating steam.
The second point was, to make perfect cutoff

On the Cliff.

On the Cliff.
Half down the cliff the pathway ends,
The rocks grow steep and sheer;
Hard by a sudden stream descends;
From ledge to ledge, with breaks and bends
1t dashes cool and clear.
Across the bay green ripplesf flow
In endless falls and swells;
Clear shows the ribbed sea-low below,
And round dark rocks In whiteness glow
Smooth sands of crisped Shells
Foam-specks before the wind that glide,
The sleeping sea-gulls float;
Amid ewes crimson shadows wide,
Rocked softly by the swaying tide,
Yet safe as anchored boat.
Their white and folded wings are laid
On tides that change and flow;
The daylight passes into shade;
Yet calm they rest and unafraid,
Whate'er may come and go,
So safe, mid waste of waters wide,
Below the darkening sky,
So safe my heart and may bide,
Calm floating on times changeful tide,
Beneath eternity.
