Hon. AJram s. Hepitt, Chairman,
MY DEAR SIR II have received your
note, with the copy Of the Times of Sep
tember 8, in reference to Mr.. Tilden's in
come return for 1862, aud have taken the
earliest time which my official engagements
would permit to send you the information
you solicit.
was in Mr.. Tilden's law Office during
the whole period covered by the allegations
Of the Times, and was moro familiar than
any other person--perhaps, even than Mr..
Tilden himself--with his professional SER
vices and with the earnings Of his Office,
il being among my duties to keep such
record or memoranda Of them as was
preserved.
The charges to which you specially
refer arc epitomized and placarded on the
front page of the Times, where in parallel
columns are displayed a fac-simile Of Mr..
Tilden's income tax return for the year
1862, contrasted with a pretended state
mont Of his real income for that year.
l have examined this statement with
care, and from my personal knowledge
find it to be false in oyery important par,
ticular.
The first thing in this fabrication of the
Times which arrested my attention was
the evident intent TO mislead which char.
acterizes it. Itpurports to be made up Of
separate items, tho wording Of which il
varied in order TO give the reader the idea
that these items had been taken directly
from bills or accounts which had becr
rendered to some one, or had been entereS
in some book of account
For example: the first item reads

INTERCHANGEABLE. William b. Davis
read paper before the Cincinnati Medical
Society at Il recent meeting, giving obsor-
vations on revacc instion during the pres
ent epidemic in Cincinnati. His observa-
tions, he said, were based on 200 private
cases and 600 cases of revaccnation in the
work house. His conclusions were as fol-
lows:
l. That exposure toinfection and intense
epidemic Influence largely increases the
susceptibility of the influence of vaccine
virus, aud accounts for the unusual num-
Der of successful presentations during the
existence OF an epidemic.
2. Smallpox and varioloid give no more
immunity from q recurrence of smallpox
than vaccination.
8. The cicatrix Tor mark is not safe
criterion of the degree of protection given
by the previous vaccination. A number OF
persons were vaccinated having pits OF
smallpox on their persons, and seventy
five per cent OF the cases took.
4. 1t is advisable to vaccinate upon ev-
cry exposure TO contagion, unless it has
been done recently with success.
5. Those who ale successfully revaccn-
ated were to some extent, susceptible TO the
small pox influence.

TIDINEss.-Of all things in the world be
neat about the farm. If you have thrifty
wife, take pattern by her management in
doors. Swept and busted are her rooms,
and made attractive with many tasteful
ornaments. Your farm may be made as
pleasing as your house. The yard and
wood-pile may be kept AS slightly as is the
shining cook stove where all the sticks fin
ally so. The fences may be one of the
prettiest parts of the landscape, if they are
only kept painted: or whtewashed. The
stone walls do continually tumble, or get
knocked down, we admit; but it don't
take long to pick up two or three of tho
fallen rocks, and put them in place, when
you are passing by. The barn may be
made the sweetest place around, if care is
taken TO keep the cattles stalls Clearly, and
as they should be for any living creature.
The smell of packed hay, and the breath OF
the cows, can never be equaled by the
chemist. In the harness room, there is
still more need OF order and neatness. Har-
nesses keep nice and handsome three times
as long, when the dust is brushed off, and
they are well oiled occasionally. To give the
impression of your thriftiness to others, is
well, but it is not the important point. To
know your belongings are in good condi-
ton, and that your farm is a model for 9TH
ers, is to make your heart light and con-
tented, besides giving you a sense Of indie
pendence and dignity, well worth the toll
TO gain it.-GOlden Rule.

The fence question was one of the topics
which engaged most attention and devel-
oped active discussion al tho recent meet
ing OF the Connecticut State Board of Agri-
culture. The discussion was opened by a
paper by Mr.. J. NJ. Hubbard of Middle
town. He remarked that the census re-
turns show that in Connecticut alone there
is a capital OF eight million dollars invested
in fences, and the annual expense for re-
pairing and maintaining them is fully one
million dollars, beside the value of the
land that is taken up and covered by them.
He thought It was time that all should stop
and inquire how q portion of this heavy
tax can DO avoided. Such fences as are
needed should be built with as little cost as
possible, and answer tho object for which
they are built; for when fence costs more
than the crop fenced is worth, fence and
crop should be abandoned. Permanent
fences should be built with reference TO
probable future needs, as many fences be-
come nuisance by change of ownership
of the lands enclosed. He favored post
and rail fei.ce, partly because it is not per-
manent, though where stones are abundant
he would have them used for fences, pro-
vided they are not put where the next
generation will be obliged to pull them
down. lie exhibited a model of portable
fence which he had found cheap and con-
venient. The next speaker drew attention
TO the great variation in the cost of fencing
large and small fields, and stated that where
the cost for fencing Ona nCra wOul1 he $40
the fence for four acres would cost but S25
an acre, for sixteen acres, Sl2 an acre, and
so on. Various suggestions were made as
to fencing material. One member suggest
ed that yellow locust should be cultivated
for fencing, and in reply TO the objection
that locusts afforded harbor for the prop
agation Of borerS, it was stated that each
tree has its own peculiar borer, and that
the locust borer does not attack other trees.

THE POWER OF ONE WoMAN.-A lady
gives an interesting account of how she
once converted California mining camp.
The men had not seen the face Of woman
for six months when she went among them,
and their recreations consisted OF prize
fighting, gambling, cock-hghting, drink
ing, anything to pass away the time; and
all this in dirty clothing, unshaven, I'M
washed, with hair unkempt. Presently
her arrival was noised about the mines,
and The next Sunday every miner, far and
near, made himself presentable. In the
course of the day they congrega ted in the
lady's vicinity, and while pretending to
chat with each other were seen peering
about trying to catch glimpse OF the lady.
She soon changed the state of affairs, and
the Sabbath day was no longer desecrated
by gambling and prize. fighting, and the
men became tidy and decent in personal
appearance. Indeed, such was her infiu-
ence that it would have been death to the
man who dared lisp word against her.

And reaps reward an hundred fold;
He dwells where grace and beauty charm,
For God hath blessed his home and farm.

TRAVELLING PLANTs.-Certain plants
are apparently confined to countries in
which they are found in abundance, while
they are not met with elsewhere, and it is
at the price of thousand cares that they
are, some few of them, naturalized in re-
gions to which they are not indigenous.
Nevertheless such plants are found, driven
by the waters or the wind, or carried by
birds, growing where one would never
dream OF seeing them. In the French ar
rondissement Of st. Quentin are TO be seen
three specimens OF this kind, pointed out
for the first time by NM. Petermann and
Pilloy. The latter, learned botanist and
arch@ologist, has described them in late
French review. The first is the Lyvimd-
CHA hyrsJford, a plant known only in
Lthuania, which has been found in the
marshes of the Somme, at Harley. The
second is the Elodea CdnadensiS, which, as
its name implies, is indigenous in Canada.
This has been discovered growing along
the Canal of St. Quentin at Seraucourt-le-
Grand, and other points. The third is the
Amsinckia intermedid, from California and
unknown in Europe. The French Swans
are now inquiring how these plants, UNI
known in their country except by samples,
were transported from their native habi-
tats TO the new homes in which they have
heco me SO perfectly domicliated. Did
they make the journey surreptitiously as
merchandise in the form of grainf Did
they make a part Of the route by land, or
did they fall from a vessel into the water
and vegetatc there, to be transplanted by
the tide 10 their present locality2 Either
possible. At all events, the discovery is
interesting and worthy of attention.
