BAD BOSTON GAUGERS.

A NUMBER or CUSTOM HOUSE OFFICIALS
DISMISSED AND A GENERAL lNvEsTI-
CATION ORDERED.
The investigation Of the charges pre-.
ferred against certain custom house
officials in Boston will result, it is said,
in Secretary Manning directing their
immediate dismissal and thorough re.
organization of the whole remaining
force. The evidence taken tends to
show that it was the custom of the head
gauger, or one of his assistants, to 60 to
the wharves when certain classes of
goods were landed and abstract portions
of the consignment. AS they were Gus.
tom house officials their presence created
no suspicion, and their movements we're
not closely watched.
Under the pretensc of gauging the
various liquors they would draw off n
more or less considerable quantity into
empty bottles, large number of which
they kept on hand, and mark the gauge
to correspond with the quantity left.
This caused numerous complaints to be
made by the importers, but they never
received any satisfaction. When they
brought their losses to the attention of Mr..
Fitch, they were informed that the losses,
il any, must have occurred on the other
side of the water, as there was no possi-
bility of anything wrong Mt this end OF
the line.
After tho bottles were filled they were
placed in large baskets, which the head
onuonr md hia oqsistnnt had prnyidpd for
The purpose; pair of overalls or a
Jumper would be thrown over the basket,
and on top of these mallet or bung.
starter placed to give the baskets an in
nocent appearance.
The baskets, it was stated, were given
to under-employos, who appeared on the
rolls of the custom house as laborers,
and by them the baskets were carried to
various places, according to the orders
they received.

NO LEGAL INDIAN LEASES.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FINDS NO AUTHOR.
ITY FOR THEIR APPROVAL ny THE GOV.
ERNMENT.
Attorney General Garland, to whom
tho Secretary of the Interior referred the
question of the power of the Interior
Department to authorize the Indians to
lease their lands for grazing purposes,
has transmitted to Secretary Lamar nm
opinion in effect that no such power exists
under the law. The present inquiry, he
says, in substance is; First, whether the
Department Of the Interior can authorize
these Indians 10 make leases of their
lands for grazing purposes, or whether
the approval of such leases by the Presi
dent or tho Secretary of The Interior
would make them lawful or valid; sec.
ond, whether the President or the dc.
partment has authority to lease for such
purposes any part Of any Indian reser-
walton.
He submits that the power of the de.
partment to authorize such leases to be
made, or that of the President or Secre.
tary to approve or to make the same, il
it exists at all, must rest upon some law,
and therefore, be derived from either a
treaty or statutory provision. He is
not aware Of any treaty provision appli.
cable to the particular reservations in
question that confers such powers.
The Revised Statues contain pro
visions regulating contracts or agree.
ments with Indians and prescribing how
they shall be executed and approved,
but these provisions do not include con.
tracts of the character described in sec.
ton PIG. No general power appears "a
have been conferred by statuteupon either
the President, the Secretary, or any
other officer of the government to make,
authorize, or approve leases of land,
held by Indian tribes, and the absence
of such power was doubtless one of the
main considerations which led to the
adoption Of the act of Feb. 30, 1875, to
authorize the Seneca nation of New
York Indians to "lease lands within the
Cattaraugus and Allegheny reservation,
and to confirm existing leases"
The act cited is moreover signiccan
as showing thai in the view of Congress
Indian tribes cannot lease their reserva
tions without the authority of some Law
of the Unite Stn'cs In his opinion
therefore, each o. he questions proposed
in your letter should br answered in tht
negative, and so he answers them.

The Virginia Democratic platform aud
the nomination Of Fit2hugh Lee for gov.
ernor fit each other very well. The can.
didale was nominated because his name
was FiI2hugh Lee, and not Fitzhugh
Jones or Smith. His relationship to the
confederate general was more important
than his personal fitness, in the eyes of
the convention, or he would never have
been selected. To honor the cause Of
the rebellion was ns plninly the object of
this nomination MS Of the lowering Of the
flag over tho Interior Department at
Washington in memory of the only chief
of that department who ever proved
rebel and thief. The candidate is not
nn effective speaker. His committee
does not dare allow him to meet his OPP
poncnt in debate, and therefore decides
that debates are not to be permitted.
He is not politically popular with his
party, because he once wrote letter TAX.
iLg extreme grounds in favor of most
radical measures for the payment of the
whole dcbt-the part of West Virginia MS

him to his own party in Virginia. But
he bears the name and is relative of n
great leader in rebellion, and that is
enough. h.-Ncw York Tribune.

To New York Hcrdld reporter who
perched himself on the side of an out.
going stenIEg last Saturday il seemed
that the tiNfacters of sailing day were
all attaininga more marked individuality,
and were on every successive appearance
more strongly emphasizing their peculiar
"poinls." Just within hearing were n
party who had evidently made up their
minds to get out of the ceremony Of leave
taking the greatest amount of osCulatory
practice it could afford. The exile was
young and comcly man who had evi.
IDENTIFY devoted his abilities to encourag'
ing tropical growth of side whiskers,
and he seemed to regard the hour Of de-
parture with an eCstatic enthusiasm
which manifested itself in an ebullition
of carcsses. One old lady, three young
ladies, and one young gentleman had
come to see him of. lie was ready for
them. He mounted the top Of the
gang plank so as to accumulate
momentum, and then precipitated him.
self upon the group. He kissed the
old lady first aud led her aside and sat
her down all by herself. He seemed to
be anxious not TO disturb her. Then he
came back and inaugurated the leave
taking programme by kissing all the
young ladies in rotation. They blushed
some, but seemed rather to like it. And
at that this departing young man devoted
| all his genius to deviSing reasons for re.
/ peating the exercises. When the sailors
| voices sounded forward lowering some
/ cargo he made dash for each of the
young ladies' and got her about as close
/ to his spinal column as the conditions
would allow. When the captain ap.
/ reared on the bridge he rained another
shower of good.by kisses on the group,
He "came up to the scratch again when
| the steam whistle blew, and was ready
for farewell volley before the gaug.
plank was lowered. There never was n

There was different kind of leave
taking going on at the cabin door.
There was a fair young thing there with
dewy eyes and m assortment Of custom
made bushes. There was bustling
young man, too, who struggled to appear
Mt home on deck, but who every moment
betrayed himself by going into wrong
places through the wrong doors. They
were evidently n newly married couple,
and as evidently were they under the
able and efficient command of the stern
lady with the hectic complexion and
falsetto voice who was the seeming
mother in.law of the home circle.
"Gcorge, sir" says the hectic lady.

SEA MONSTER CAUGHT IN THE GULF

The marine monster just captured in
the Gulf of Mexico, near Galveston, is
reported to be the genuine cephalopterR,
popnlarly known as "devil fish. During
ihe Challenger's voyage in 1873 pair
of these huge fish came round the ship
while at anchor in the hNrhor Of ST, Jdgo,
Cape Verde islands. Mr.. MosGley, of
the scientific staff Of the Challenger,
stated that one of them 'wNs struck with
harpoon, but after some time managed
to draw it out by its strugglesi j twisted
M the harpoon and was said even to
have moved the ship in its throes.n One
observer describes the fish "as big as
an ordinary dining-room table" which
is not an exaggeration if the account OF
the monster taken or shore near Calves
ton is accurate. The fish has been semi
occasionally seen on our southern coasts,
but very seldom, we believe, in as large
numbers as Rre now reported. --New

ANEW BRANCH OF INDUSTRY 90 . CARED
FOR by THE GOVERNMENT.
An agricultural station has sceen ~
been established at Aurora, ILL.,, in con.
nection with the chronological divis>a
of the department of agriculture. Mr..
Nelson W. McLain has been appointed
to take charge of the station, and Prof.
Riley has instructed him to pay particu.
lar attention to the following subjects
l. To secure the introduction and do.
mestication Of such races Of bees as are
reported to possess desirable traits and
characteristics; to test the claims of
such races of bees rs to excellence and
to prove by experiments their value to
the agriculturalists of the United States,
and their adaptation to our climate and
honey producing fora.
2. To make experiments in the cross
ing and mingling Of races already intro
duced, and such as may hereafter be i'm,
ported, and by proper application of the
laws of breeding endeavor to secure the
type or types best adapted by habit nnC
constitution to the uses of practical bee
keepers in the United States.
3. To make experiments in th,
methods Of artificial fertilization, and j
possible demonstrate the best process by
which the same may be accomplished.
4. To test the various methods of pre-
pairing bees for winter, such as stimulat
ing late breeding, removing the poler
from the hive in winter, feeding OF
sugar syrup, watering during long con
fnement, the stimulating of early breed
ing in spring, the control of the swarm
ing impulse, and the prevention o
swarming.
8. To gather statistics concerning thu
bookkeeping industry in the United Statel
and obtain an approximate estimate o
the number Of colonies of bees kept, thu
number of pounds Of honey and wa,
produced in the several states and in tn,
United States, and the value of the same
6. To make experiments with and OBJ
servations concerning varieties of honey
producing plants for bee forage.
Z. To study the true cause or causes o
diseases yet imperfectly understood ant
the best methods of preventing or curing
such diseases.
s. To obtain incontestible results b,
intelligent experiments upon scientili,
methods as to the capacity of bees, unde
exceptional circumstances to injnr,
