THE NEw TARIFF BILL.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
A special from Washington says that
the Dawes tariff bill, which passed the
House Yesterday, will doubtless pass the
Senate, and gives the following synopsis of
the amendments made in the bill in com
mittee before its passage The portion OF
the bill relative to internal revenue has
been amended by striking out the entire
seventeenth section, which repealed the
Joint resolution of March 3, 1861. amenda-
tory of the act Of July 20, 1868, which
provided that mash shall not be made
elsewhere than in distilleres authorized ac-
cording to law. The eighteenth section,
which changed the tax on matches, is also
stricken out, and the law left as it now
ands. The twenty-second section, re.a-
tive to the manufacture of medicinal pre-
parations, was changed in some important
particulars, so as to be more stringent in
its provisions, A section was added to the
bill extending the time for redemption OF
land sold for direct taxes for the period of
one year from June 3, 1874, at the eXplla-
ton of which the commissioner of internal
revenue shall proceed to sell lands in ac-
cordance with the existing law. An amend
ment was also added which provides fol
drawback to the manufacturer of tobac-
co equal to the amount of liquorice used in
the manufacture of tobacco actually eX-
ported beyond the jurisdiction of the unl'
ted States, and which permits the manu-
facturer, in lieu of an export bond, TO Civ,
transportation bond TO the port of ship
ment. An amendment was adopted pro-
viding that after July LIST there shall be {
tax of one-twentieth of one per cent. pait
on all sales OF stocks, bonds, gold and sill

INTERESTING EXEssCdSES At
BENNINGTON.
Laying of he Corner stone Oi the New
school building.

Monday in Bennington the death blow
to ignorance and supersttution was sound
cd and in future yaars the 1st of June will
be associated in the history of the town
with the 10th of August, and the causes
that occurred to render the proceedings of
these days are somewhat of the same kind,
although now we have not to rejoice over
victory gained by the force of arms, but
one that has been gained over those who
were opposed to good schools 10 the idea
of having fitting school buildings and who
made strong and steady fight against ii,
but having been beaten in open conflict
have accepted the situation and many of
them were present this day to assist in lay
ing the corner stone of the new graded
school buildings, and we hope that here
after peace and harmony may prevail and
that by the working together of her people
Bennington may restore her lost position
in the ranks of education, and soon stand
where she did twenty-five years ago, equal
to and not surpassed by any town in our
own green mountain state.
HISTORICAL.
From the history of the graded school
movement written by Rev, c. II. Hubbard
and deposited in the corner stone, | learn
that twenty-five years ago an attempt was
made to establish high school in the vii
lagc, but meeting with much resistance
was not successful. Ten years ago an
other effort was made, which was also un
successful, In April, 1870, upon the ap
plicaion of Hon. George W. Harmon, L
o. Cole, \. b. Valentine, ii. L. Bredford
Olin Scott and others, a town meeting wa
called to see if the legal voters of the tow
would consolidate the four districts in TIN
village into graded school district, a
which meeting it was voted TO do so, anC
the following persons were appointed tn
first prudential committee: ii. Il. Brad
ford, Olin Scott and Il. o. Cole. In jun
of the same year the opponents to tn
measure had a meeting called to see ii tn
vote to establish the graded school distric
could not be rescindcd. The friends o
the measure then prepared petition to tn
Legislature which was signed by nearly al
of the leading citizens of the village, askin
it to incorporate the graded school district
which at the next session of the legislator
: was done, and the friends of educato
achieved their second victory A ne,
school house was very much needed, an
at the annual meeting in March, 1878,
committee was appointed to estimate til
] cost of new building; and at an adjourn

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
AIlsafi for an Old Apple Tree.

In considering the growth of organisms,
the action of the alkalies is to be looked up
on as scarcely less important than that Of air
and water. Lime is the great animal alkal,
and potash the vegetable one; Its old name
of vegetable kali expressed that fact, and all
the potash OF commerce is we'll known to be
derived from wood ashes. The Importance
of potash as manure has been frequently
overlooked by farmers, who rarely know the
large amount OF this material found in grass.
grain crops, leaves, barnyard manure, roots
and fruits. How potash acts in plants, in
conjunction with carbon and silex, to form
woody fibre, starch, sugar, and oil, is yet un-
known TO chemical observers, but the fact of
its action is beyond doubt.
Lebig long since pointed out that the chief
cause of barrenness is the waste OF potash
carried off by rich crops, especially tobacco,
with no replacement by proper manure.
How many millions of pounds OF potash have
been sent to Europe from the forests of Amer
lea, and in the grain, tobacco and hempl
Luckily one alkali may be replaced by an
other, and We have received a considerable
quantity of soda from European seaweed and
in the shape of salt. Latterly, nitrate OF so-
da from natural deposits in South America IS
brought to us at cheap price.
The point to which we now cal attention
is that our farmers and frnit-growers have ig-
nored, or rather have been ignorant OF, the
Importance of wood ashes as vegetable
stimulant and as the leading constituent of
plants. Even coal ashes, now thrown away
as useless, have been shown, both by expert
ment and analysis, to possess fair share Of
alkaline value. According to our observation,
if the practice of pItting mixture of wood
and coal ashes around the stems OF fruit
trees and vines, particularly early in the
spring, were followed as general rule, our
crops OF apples, grapes, peaches, etc., would
be greatly benefited in both quality, and
quantity, and the trees and vines would last
longer. We will relate only one experiment.
Some twentyf five years ago, we treated an
old hollow pippin apple tree as follows: The
hollow, to the height of eight feet, was filed
and ram med with compost Of wood ashes.
garden mold, and little waste lime carbon
ate,. The filing was securely fastened in by
boards. The next year, the crop of sound
fruit was sixteen bushels from an old shell OF
tree that had borne nothing of any account
for sometime But the strangest part was
what followed. For seventeen years after fill
ling, the old pippin tree continued to flourish
and bear well.-Scientifc American

GLondon SPECTATOR
Trial hY NEWSPAPER.

In an article, marked by more than its US
ual acrid power, the New York Nation points
out the obvious disadvantages of ''Trial by
Newspaper" A conspicuously painful ex-
ample of that method of dealing with public
offenses is, as everyone knows, exciting the
keenest attention in the United States. A
great reputation is attacked, and with the
name of the first pulpit orator in the New
World, many wider considerations than those
of mere personal feeling are bound up. With
the facts, or what profess to be such, OF the
Tilton-Beecher Scandal, we are not concerned,
and do not mean to concern ourselves. We
hasten to say that we are not going to put
our hands in that mud. We should not hesi-
tate to do SO if necessity were shown, for il
may sometimes be the duty of a journalist,
even at the cost of decency, to vindicate some
personality from grievous wrong, or to as
sert some principle that has been publicly ig
nored. But with the conflict that is raging
around the fame of the pastor of Plymouth
church we are glad to say we in this country
have nothing to do; we have 10 adequate
means of forming Judgment about any OF
the charges that are banded about with reck-
less levity, and we are well pleased to be dis
pensed from the duty of taking side in an
arraignment that has been poisoned with all
the fury of faction. The method of dealing
with the alleged offense of an eminent public
man which The Americans have chosen is
worth little consideration. 1t is not such as
we should be likely to see generally resorteG
to in this country, yet it would be mere phar-
isaical vanity to assert that it is altogether
incompatible with our habits of thought and
our social conventions. 1t is danger on the
brink of which all counties that possess an
unfettered press are lowering, and there is no
security against it except aresolute hardening
of public opinion against the slightest and
earliest signs Of tendency towards the
abyss. The Americans have plunged into
the miry and Shiny flood with something like
frenzy, and it is hopeles to think that the
national mind can come out of it unbe-
smirched.
ssTrial by Newspaper" may be des cribed as
that method of scrutinizing the characters OF
rubc men, ,land distributing praise or blame,
which is common and, indeed, inevitable, in
a Democratic community that resents all
claim to domestic privacy as restriction of
nublc rights. In every country there is an
inclination to assert some such power of su-
perylsion over the private lives of eminent
persons; but in societies where distinctions of
class are maintained the pretension is all but
universally repudiated. OF course, if scan
dal breaks out affecting the private character

The production of saffron Is an important
branch of Agriculture in France, Ii is pe-
culiar industry and is little known even in
France A saffron field is not in the full
bearing until the second year and at the end
of three years it is exhausted, or as the pro-
ducers styleit, is so poisoned that it cannot be
used for the same purpose for fifteen or six
teen pears. The crop is from nine to twenty
seven pounds per acre OF dry pists. An acre.
produces about 100000 bulbs and each bulb
two or three flowers. About Is, 900 are requir-
ed to yield pound of dry pistils, which are
the valuable part of the flower. The labor
of picking such enormous numbers is, of
course, very great, and when the crop is large
ard pickers scare the whole flowers are cut
and carried into villages where the picking is
jobbed out to women and children at from
twenty cents to dollar a pound. When
ready for market the saffron is worth from
$3.50 to $40 per pound and when very fine
sells for $40. Once or twice within fifty years
it has brought $40 per pound. 1t requires a
peculiar soil which rents for double the rent
Of common ground, or at from SIS TO $50
