tho weather Is clear. tho newcomer is apt
to be surprised by the loud boom Of can
non from the fort, announcing that the
artillery school is open and that the
pupils hhva begun practice. Some one of
tho varied assortment Of great guns on
the parapet, ranging from the Gatling to
great fat monster at the farther end of the
row, is in operation. Far out toward the
capes, so far away that you have to look
a long time before you can find it, unless
your eyes are good, small sail has boen
anchored for a target Each shot at this
small object is followed by q great splash
higher and broader than the full set sails
of tho largest ship. aud marks the spot
whero the great iron shot has struck.
Tho result is noted by observers sta.
toned on the "rip-rapS out In mid
channel and signaled back by the
small flags, tho waving Of which
is only Ineligible to those who
handle them. Later in the day shell are
fired, the aim being to explode them
directly over the target, an art In which
tho cannonoors have become very pro-
fcient as the many who watch them
daily can easily see from tho hotel
verandas.
So tho long summer days are passed At
Old Point. Sundown brings dress parade
in tho fort and the evening gun. Then
tho band strikes up in the great pavilion
adjoining tho dining room, two sides oil
which open to the sea, and troop oi
children lead the dance. The older peo'
ple follow later IL 80 inclined, and so CHASE
the hours until ready to 20 to bed and be
lulled to sleep by the plashings Of the

Corn for Ensiiage.

1t is now claimed by those who have
experime nted largely with ensilaged corn
that tho secret of success (other condir
tions being favorable) lies in the state of
tho corn stalks when cut. In other words
it sh ould not be cut until the lower leaves
com mence turning and ears have formed
on tho stalks. Ensilage thus prepared
and fed does not produce any deleterious
smell In the milk or taste to the butter.
Walter A. Taber, of Dutchess county, N.
Y, says: From my experience with en-
81 lage have drawn the following CON-
illusions: First. Ensilago when properly
prepared and kept Is o very efficient aid
in the keeping Of our cattle during the
winter, increasing the flow Of milk. and
keeping the system in good condition.
Second. A given amount Of feed can be
moro economically stored. more easily
and quickly fed, and with far less waste
whom ensilaged than in a dry state. Third.
Corn fodder should not be ensilagod until
the juices begin to thicken, as the forma.
tion Of acid and its injurious effects upon
the milk and butter products are thus
avoided. Fourth. The i'll effects which some
have experienced from the feeding of
ensiiage, and tho consequent abandonment
of 1t by some have resulted from the i'm
proper manner in which the article was
prepared, and from making 1t the entire
ration of the animal instead of an aid,
just as roots should be fed to supplement
dry fodder. Fifth. Reason and good
judgment are the prerequisites for sue
cess no less to farmers than TO any other
class of men, and because some men do
not make o success with ensilage, 1t does
not follow that the system should be con-
demned any more than II they were
following some other kind Of business
and made failure at all. would
advise those who expect, or would like, to
grow corn for ensilage tho coming season,
not to be deferred by what they hear OF
''ssuer kraut," wet stuff" and the like
but let the crop stand until 1t begins to
change color, then cut it, covor 1t tight
aud weight IL well;ssthe feed will be salts
factory to the cattle and the owner.

When n Salary Begtns.

The first comptroller of tho treasury
has given an opinion that the salary of q
consular officer does not begin until he
has taken the oath Of office and entered
on the discharge of his duties by holding
himself in readiness to receive instruc-
tiOns. On July Mr.. John Schroeder, an
employe in the document room of the
senate, was nominated and confirmed as
consul to San Jose, Costa Rica. At that
time the consulate was feed office with
out alary. The consular and diplomatic
bill of July made it q salaried office.
Schroeder received his commission as
consul July and took tho oath Of office
July 8. He was paid his salary ss an
employe of the senate to and including
July z. The department Of state re-
quested that he should be allowed salary
from July z, the date Of the act providing
salary, and that the general usage was to
pay salaries from the date Of commission.
The comptroller, however, decided that
his pay as consul did not begin until he
had taken the oath Of office.

OFFICIAL IRREGULARITIES.
What Caused the Disappearance OF
Assistant Postmaster Morton.

What Caused the Disappearance OF
Assistant Postmaster Morton.
Inquiries made at the postoflice depart
ment have developed the following facts
in connection with tho financial irregu-
larities and disappearance Of Assistant
Postmaster Morton, of Brooklyn. At tho
expiration of tho first month In each quar-
ter the employees of the Brooklyn post
office were required to sign the pay roll
for tho full quarter, although they had
received pay for but one month. Morton,
who was in complete control of tho
finances Of the office, was thus afforded
an opportunity, of which he availcd, In
making up the pay roll, to hll in the
blanks for the last two months Of each
quarter with figures representing sums
larger than those actually paid out. AS
the employees never saw the pay roll after
the first month Of the quarter, they prac-
tically signed it in blank. The postofiice
department was absolutely without o
check upon the assistant postmaster. and
the scheme might have been operated for
years without detection had 1t not been
for the receipt by the commission investi-
eating the Office Of an anonymous note
directing attention to the pay roll.
| lHo Inspectors ht once uekhu u tuOT-
ough examination, aud evory employe OF
| the office was required to make oath to
the amount of salary received, and these
aiiidayits were compared with tho pay
roll. Tho first discrepancy discover cd
was In the case Of an employe named
Clark, who was charged ON the pay roll
with the sum Of $l47.50. services begin
ming in January, 1884, while. as o matter
Of fact Clark swore that he had re.
ceived only 1880. for services rendered
in March. The examination included
the accounts for several years past, and
| the total amount Of discrepancy revealed
was $399.00. Regarding Morton's disap-
pearance during the investigation, the
inspectors supposed that he guessed the
result Of the inquiry aud fled 10 Europe,
They do not believe that his mind ID
affected or that he is in this country.
Tho commission found no evidence oi
other financial Irregularities. and thsii
report completely exoneTstes the pOstmss.
ter from any knowledge Of or completely
! in, Morton's irregularities, aud pays q
compliment to his integrity. The general
condition Of the office WAS not wholly
satisfactory, and the commission suggest
ed many changes In the method Of trans
acting business, intended 10 facilitate tn,

The Rocks in the East River.

The reports from the coast survey off,
Ger who located the 19l foot rock in the
East river do not describe the dimensions
and conformation Of the rocks, but in
general terms it is stated that its super
ficial area is small, that the sounding
lead slipped oil of the rock into depth
of 25 OF 26 feet immediately alongside,
and that the probability is that it is a
fixed boulder, part of the Dimond reef
system and not the result of dumping or
Of the blasting on Dimond reef. On the
spot where the rock is located the coast
survey charts have heretofore indicated
20 feet of water at mean low tide and the
same depth ID also indicated upon the To-
cation of the 22-foot rock mentioned in
yesterdays dispatch. The results of these
Investigations were ut once reported to
the New York pilot commission and also
to the Lighthouse board upon whom the
duty of buoying the rock devolves.
