"ONLY A STORY. This is the reply of a
radical cotemporary to the charge that there
have been three hundred and forty defaulting
Collectors of Internal Revenue The facts
are as follows: On the 2lst of March last it
was resolved by the lower House of Congress
that "The Secretary of the Treasury be and
is hereby directed to furnish this House a
statement of balances due from Collectors
of Internal Revenue not nolU IN flee" etc.
Secretary Boutwell's S reply to this resolution
of inquiry is contained in Executive Document
No, 267, giving the names of the full number
we have stated three hundred and forty. The
defacations of this army ofradical Office hold
ers run up into the millions, and furnish a
striking illustration of the rascally practices
Of the party that arrogates to itself all the
patriotism of the country Our cotemporary
may be right in saying this charge is s''only a
story" but it is true one, founded upon
facts in possession of the Treasury Depart
ment, and given to the world over the official
signature of Secretary Boutwell,. "Only a

o little housewife clean and spruce,
Thy use one heart devines!
A rosy apple full of juice


And polished-till it shines;
A tiny, trippling, tender thing,
A foe to lazy htters,
A household angel tidying


Till all around thee glitters!
To see thee in thy loveliness,


So prudish and so chaste,
No speck upon thy cotton dress


Girded around thy waist;
The ankle peeping white as snow
Thy tucked up kirtle under,
While shining dishes, row on row,
Behind thee stare and wonder
While round thy door the millions call,
While the great markets fill
Though public sorrow strikes us all,
Singing, thou workest still;
Yea, all thy care and all thy lot
Is ever sweet and willing,
To keep one little household spot
AS clean as a new shilling.
The crimson freight dips


Thy cheeks until the glow;
The white -four makes thy fnger-tips
Like rosebnds dropt in snow;
When all thy gentle heart


Flutters in exhultation,
To compass in an apple tart,


Thy noblest aspiration!
o housewife thy modest worth


Keep ever free from wrong;
Blest be the house and bright the hearth,
Thou blessest all day longl
And nightly may thy sleep be sound,
While o er thee, softly, Silly,
The curtains close like leaves around
The hushed heart of the lily.

Which makes the best hay, early or
late cut grass, is a question over which
many writers have long been wrangling
to very little Practical purpose.


AlthoNghtpe question is of impor-
tanse 10 all farmers get the quality of
ths hay Il not the only point to be con-
Esidered when deciding tlietime for cut
ting grass Even il il could be proved
that late cit grass madeyery much bet
Ter hay than that which is cut earlier;
yet ;Siri view Of other considerations, it
might be better to cut grass early than
TO allow it more fully to mature


To one of these considerations which
seems to us TO have an important bear
ing upon the question, we propose to
call the attention of our readers


The farmer not only wishes to obtain
the greatest possible amount Of the most
valuable hay, but he also wishes to do
itin manner which shall neither injure
the quality nor diminish the quantity Of
succeeding crops.


BY keeping this principle in mind, we
may determine more easily than we
otherwise could do which is the best
time to cut grass, early or late in the
season.


Botanists tell us that it requires about
one half Of the vital force of a plant to
mature the seed. Allowing this princi-
pal to be true, we can readily see that
if the grass Is allowed to stand until the
seed is ripened, the roots will then be
in an enfeebled condition. \ great
amount OF their vitality having been cx-
pended in ripening the seed, the removal
Of the stalks, leaves the roots in a very
poor condition to endure the scorching
sun and severe droughts which so often
follow the haying season.


\ light crop of grass for the succeed
ing year will he lthe legitimate and al
most inevitable result Of allowing the
seed to mature. Each succeeding year
will render more apparent the evil Of
pursuing such a course


From this view ofthc subject, and it
Is a view sustained not only by theory
but also by experience and observation,
it would appear that on land designed
to be kept permanently in grass, it is
much better to do the haying early in
the season than to allow the grass to
mature the seed.

New YORK, December 2--The Tri-
bme's correspondent at St. Petersburg
telegraphs the full text of Gortschakoff S
reply to Earl Granville, which, how
ever, contains little that has not been
touched upon by the regular cable dis
patches. Russia declined, as is already
known, to discuss the propriety Of her
former note to recall, any precedent, or
cite any example, as such controversy
would in no way promote good under
standing, which is desired. After refer
ring to the invariable failure OF attempts
made at different times to assemble the
powers in general conference, with a
view to remove the causes OF the diff
Guilty which disturb general peace,
Gortscakoff continues: The prolong-
alton of the present war and the absence
of the regular government in France
postpone still further the possibility Of
such an agreement. Meanwhile the
position in which the treaty left Russia
has become more and more intolerable.


Earl Granville will agree that Europe
Of to-day is very different from being
Europe which signed the treaty OF 1890;


1t was impossible that Russia should
agree to remain the only power bound
indefinitely to an arrangement which,
onerous as twas at the time when 1t was
concluded, became daily weaker in its
guarantees. Our august master has too
deep sense Of what he owes to his
country to force it to submit any longer
to an obligation against the national
sentiment. We cannot think that an
abrogation Of purely theoretical prin'
Year: 1870

ciple, not followed by its immediate ap
plication, and which yisibly restores TO
Russia right of which nogood people
could consent to be deprived, ought
to be considered as menace to
peace, nor that in avoiding one point of
the treaty of Sc the abrogation of all
be implied. The Imperial Cabinet never
had any such intention. On the contrary
our communication of October 18th de-
clared in the most explicit terms that
his Majesty, the Emperor, maintains
his adhesion to the general principles
of the treaty of Sc, and that he is
ready to come to an agreement
with the signatory powers of that
treaty, either to confirm to its gen.
eral stipulation, or to renew them,
or to substitute for them any other
equitable arrangement which may be
thought suitable to secure the repose Of
the East and the equilibrium of Europe.
There seems, then, to be no reason why
the Cabinet of London should not, if it
please, enter into an explanation with
the signataries of the treaty of Sc. For
our part we are ready for any delibera-
ton having for its object the settlement
of guarantees for the consolidation Of
peace in the East.

thai the Prince of Wales was likely to be again
mentioned in the Divorce Court as a co-respon-

would be the respondent. The following affi-

recognized in the man anything better

sort Of poetic justice it came to be-
stow upon John Brown q good histor-
ical reputation. The facts are the

tie have given them a new color. The

SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM CARELESS HAsD-
LING OF Notwithstanding of those and
accidents resulting from the careless hand
ling OF firearms occurred on Church Hill
about o'clock yesterday afternoon. It
seems that parcel of boys were congrega-
ted in the vacant lot on the corner of Broad
and Twenty sixth streets, when one of them
took from his pocket loaded pistol. A
slight scufle took place, during which the
pistol by some means exploded, the ball
striking James H., son of Mr.. George A.
Ainslie. The shot took effect on the right
side just above the hip bone, and subse-
quent probings proved that it took down
ward course without entering the abdomen.
Drs. Knox, Vest, and McGuire, were called
in, and rendered nil the assistance possible
At late hour last night the lad was doing
very well, considering the desperate nature
Gf the wound.


The practice of carrying firearms by
boys is too common, and some steps should
be taken to prevent it. If parents will not
prohibit the dangerous practice, the strong
arm of the law should take hold of the
matter to prevent future occurrences of the
character above described.
