value, and exagerating its purchasing
power, spends it extravagantly.
How often we hear girls censured as
extravagant and reckless in expenditure!
And in many cases, who is really to
blame T? Is it the girls who have never
been taught the value of money and
judicious economy? Rather the parents
who never give them allowances by
which to learn these lessons. The knowl.
edge how to spend money should form
part of girls dowry, and no parent
has right to defraud her Of it, for this
knowledge will be of the greatest ser.
vice to her in her future lite. We all
know the first remark made at the news
of any financial failure: "Poor man,
his wife is SO extravagant w The case
of Mrs. Belknap is not an exception,
but type. We shall not attempt to
decide the truth of such statements, but
grant them all true, and we hold that
the women are not wholly to blame.
Their mistakes, their miscalculations
were due to radical defect in educa.
ton, for which they were not response
ble."
These are certainly words of wisdom
from young girl, to which fathers
should listen, if they wish to do equal
justice to their daug ghters as to their
sons.

Cur HAY EARLY.--We have found by
practical test that early cut hay we'll
cured is decidedly the best feed for
dairy stock, going much further when
fed, and producing a better product Of
milk, and consequently butter. 1t keeps
stock in finer condition than hay that is
cut after being matured, or ripened. AS
early as the middle Of June, sometimes
before, we have practiced opening the
hay harvest, and find when feeding that
the earliest cut is preferred to the later,
by all the stock. When first putting
this plan of cutting hay early into prac-
tice, the neighbors-all old farmers =
looked askance with incredulous eyes,
perdicting i'll results but upon noting
the facts in the case, have fallen in with
the practice with hearty good will

What Ex-Governor rilden Has to Say.

What Ex-Governor Tilden Has to Say.
New York, June 12.-At the Man
haitian club reception, Gov. Tilden
said: Everybody knows that, after
the recent election, the men elected by
the people rs President and Vice Presi-
lent of the United States were counted
out, and men who were not elected
were counted in and seated. / dis
claim any thought OF personal wrong
involved in this transaction. Not by
any act or word of mine shall that be
dwarfed or degraded into personal
grievances which is, in truth, the great
est wrong that has stained our national
annals. To every man of the four and
Il quarter millions who were defrauded
of the fruits of their elective franchise
it is as great n wrong as it is to me,
and no less to every man of the min
GRITTY will the ultimate consequence
extend. Evils in the government grow
by success and impurity; they do not
arrest their own progress; they can
never be limited except by external
forces. If the men in possession of the
government 4 in one instance main
tain themselves in power against an
adverse decision at elections, such an
example will be initiated. The tempta-
ton exists always. Devices To give
color Of law and false pretences on
which to found fraudulent decisions
will not be wanting. The wrong will
grow into practice if condoned.
Changes in the SUGGESTIONS of gov
ernments have usually been the result
of fraud or force. 1t has been our
faith and our pride that we had estab-
liShed a node of Deaceful CHANCE IN Iva
worked out by the agency of the ballot.
The question now is whether our cleo
tive system in its substance, as well as
IN its form, is to be maintained. This
IS the question of questions. 1t is
finally settled that there can be no poll
ties founded on inferior questions of
administrative policy; it involves the
fundamental right of government; it
Involves the elective principles; it in
wolves the whole system of popular
government. The people must signally
condemn the great wrong which has
been done to them. They must strip

Vienna. June 12.-Prince Gortscha-
lsoff's letter has been officially commu-
nicated to other cabinets. 1t has not
given such complete satisfaction as vas
expected. The points relative to Con-
stantinople and Dardanelles have not
been found quite SO clear and precise
as to exclude ambiguous rendering and
set at rest any doubts such as may have
prompted the British government to
draw up the well known category stat
ed by Mr.. Cross. 1t seems to have
struck the British government that
Russia claims that she does not covet
the possession of Constantinople; still
no assurance is given that the city won't
eventually be driven into the range of
military operations and, consequently,
at any rate be temporarily occupied by
the Russians. The essence Of the ques-
ton is left unanswered.

TELEGRAMs from Asia indicate that

that a battle will he risked in Araxes

the Russians will attack the Turks in
the position they have chosen; or push
forward the column coming from Olti
toward Erzeroum, and thus turn the
Turkish flank. The flying columns
which Mukhtar Pasha has sent against
the Russians at Otti, show that the
Turks are aware of this danger; but it
remains to be seen whether they can
obviate it, and spare sufficient force to
check the eventual advance of the Rus

deep near the depot, and on the oPpo-

present is as high a rise as eve was
known.
