THE END.
. <0h -

The Second Auditor of the Treasury has
raised question as to the legality of the Off
cial acts of Mr. Conant, Assistant Secretary.
The points made are these: The vacancy in
the Office as Assistant Secretary occurred
while Tie Senate was in session, and under
the tcnnrr of office act it was necessary to fill
j; before the Senate adjourned just at the
close OF The session, Representative Bass, of
New York, was nominated for the place and
confirmed by .Ec Senate. Immediately after
the adjournment of the Senate he declined
to accept the position. Mr.. Conant was then
appointed. 1t is now claimed by the Second
Auditor that Mr.. Bass was ineligible because
the salary OF the Assistant Secretary had been
raised 'rIing his term, and being ineligible,
the place, which could only be legally filled
during the session of TIE Senate, was not, in
fact, I!!od, and therefore could not be after
the adjournment of the Senate

Construction of Fish Ponds.

DIR. j. III. Slack saws in the New Iorl,
Tribune Use no wood whatever,
have had an extended and expensive cN-
perience in regard to fish ponds, and have
ALWAYS found that stone or brick is cheap
est in the end. In building q dam first
lay up line of brick extending to within
an inch or two Of the line of the top of the
dam. Now pile your dirt on each side of
the wall and you bid defiance to the musk
rats, which have often in one night des-
troyed the accumulated fishes of years.
Do not trust to plank, the verlnin seems
rather to enjoy eating their way through
them.
The proportions of the dam should be
rs follows Lei the breadth on the top
equal the height. and the base be three
times the height Thus if yonr dam is
ten feet high, let the width OF the top be
ten feet and that ofthr base be thirty ice1
Face the sluice way with stone on brick,
and let it extend to the bottom OF the
pond. Place at the outlet two scis OF
screens ot galvanized iron ware, the up
permost being for the purpose Of catching
any leaves, sticks, etc, which may find
their way into the pond, the lower to pre-
vent the escape of the fishes. One inch
mesh for the upper and one-half inch tol
the lower will he about right. Arrange
these so they can be removed and cleaned
and then keep them clean.

noticed that timber tellcd when the leaf
first commenced TO grow rottcd the sap
off very quickly, but the heart remained
sound that timber telled after the fall of
the leaf rotted in the heart; even when
apparently sound on the outside. When
fire wood cut in the winter was put on the
fire the sap came out OF the heart; but
when cut in the summer the sap came out
of the sap wood and next the bark. no.
tice also that all our lasting wood has but
little sap at any time in the heart-such as
cedar. mulberry, sassatras, and cypress.
A cypress post cut in the summer of
1888 is still sound although exposed to
all weathers, while one Of the same kind
of timber, cut in winter of 1886, and
painted. has rotted in the heart | saw
Yesterday piece Of gum plank, which |
sawed in the summer of 1859 that has lain
ever since, and is perfectly sound while
oak timber that was telled in the winter
before is now entirely rotten.
My conclusion then is: Cut timber ait
ter full leaf say in July and August, to get
the most last from it. The sap goes into
the heart of the tree after leaf fail, and
causes dec aV.
