A Uelle's Conquest al Washington.Some gifted quill-driver ouirht to take

up the annals of the Xational Hotel, thatabounds in comic and serious events. Formany, many years it was the headquar-ters and grand rendezvous of politicalpumps, journalists and prominent socialictors and actresses of past gene ations.The volumes of register alone that mustbe extant would bo. as valuable as patentoffice reports, and as interesting as thoseof the Agricultural Bureau. There wasa time when Presidents elect went fromthe Xational to bo inaugurated, andlovely belles swept through tho parlors,aptivating beaux known to tho Union.

The thought brings up one of the the lastnamed sort, whose entrance to a ball-room was the ovation to a queen—a fair

irl from the West, and at whose feet theso-called statesmen of the day bowed inovo that approached adoration. Shenamed ono of these statesmen, nnd a ri-val belle, her superior in wit, but notequal in beauty, said, commenting on thoevent:

1 You wonder at tho match becauseu do not understand it."• What do you mean'( "' I moan that she married one term in

;ho Senate."' What a small ambition—only six

yenrs out o? a lifetime."" Six years make up a woman's social

ife. After it is a living tomb in thenursery ; and then she has her chances."

•' What do you mean '< ""Did you never read the st'yry of the

ihilosophor who undertook tho difficultask of making the Pasha's donkey read

the written words of the prophet."" Never did ; tell rue."" The philosopher, like aV philosophers,ns poor. At times ho was hungry, nt a'.i

•ours he was ragged. He. offered the'asha to teaeb his donkey to read in fiveears. But during tho difficult task lie

was to be clothed in purple and fine lin-nii, fed On tho best, and lodged in a pal-ice. If he failed, the penalty was death.>ne day an old friend met him leading'ortli the donkey to tho grove where theessous wort supposed to be given, and10 said, ' Surelv you do not expect thatisstoread?' The philosopher, puttinglis thumb to his nose, winked one of hisearned eyes and said nothing. 'But,'ontinued the friend, ' if you fail at the

end of the fivu years you will surely bostrangled.' ' My friend,' responded thejhiiosopber, ' you forget that in that time.he as.s may die.' Those* are her chances.Ihu Senator may die."—Tl< C/oj ital,

A Sharp Fri-siimai!.In the early days of Yale, say 171)1,

fagging " was in vogue as of late "haz-ing" lias been. The seniors and sopho-mores asumed tho distinction of "supe-riors," and many and vigorous weiv theexactions they were allowed to practiceon defenseless freshmen. One, however,the grandfather of the narrator, was afreshman, and seeuu when thus a lad, tohave possessed much of the hard sense,independence, fearlessness, and dry hu-mur that marked his character in life.One day, at a time peculiarly iueonven-ient for him, a senior cailud him. Ac-coiding to law, he approachod his "supe-rior" with his hat oil'; for this was I herule, and he must keep it off until biddento put it on. The great man, giving hima dollar, told him to hurry off and getpipes and tobacco with it, to bo used intliM entertainment of a select circle at thesenior's room. Off went Mr. Freshman,thinking hard ; an idea came in his miml;be followed it instantly ; and it was near-ly two hours before he knocked at thedoor of the senior, and dutifully handedforth pipes and tobacco.

At what ho saw the senior was furious." Wnat made you so long, sir?"" Why, sir," (innocently.) " you didn't

tell which shop, and I went down toLong Wharf" (at tho extreme end of thecity).

"But, you rascal, what did you get somany pipes for ? And whore's tho tobac-co i"

" Why, sir," (pointing out a microscop-ic parcel,) "you didn't tell me how muchof each; and I bought ninety-nine cents'worth of pipes and one cent's worth oftobacco."

The rage was dire ; but the letter ofthe law protected the sly freshman, whowas never known to be sent ou any er-rands again.— Oaiaxy Olub-Hoom.

A Well-Spent Life.A scene in a far Western State. A

village composed mostly of rude mininghuts called " houses," " cottages," etc.,though really they wore but " shanties."An old man sick on his bed. A friend,Governor J. W. Nye, seeing that his endwas close at hand, showed him manykind attentions and endeavored to easehis sufferings in every possible way. Onoday when it was quite evident that thepoor patient could last only a few hours,the Governor said to him : " Davis, it isundoubtedly best that you should knowthe truth : you are a very .sick man, andwill, in all probability, live but a shorttune. Are your affairs in the conditionthat you would wish to have them!' Ishould be glad to do anything for you,you know."

" Yes ; they're all right."" Well, would you like to writo to any

of your folks East ?" No, not now—after it is over."" Would you liko mo to call in a minis-

tor f"'The sick man, by a great effort of will

ovor a weak and shattered body, drewhimself up in bed so as to bo in a sittingposture, and eternly, most soberly andearnestly said: " Why, Governor, whatshould 1 want a minister for':' / nevervoted anything but a Itemocratk ticket in mylife."

The Capitol at Washington.The Capitol is the superb and conclu-

sive argument against a removal of thegovernment. It i-; one of the most im-posing buildings in the world. Inthere is none for great national purposesto be compared with it. Vast sums of Imon y, however, have bees si[u:i::upon it. I t is the monument of a thou-sand shameless jabs. It, is a mwaole of

dspaoe and inconvenience. Incon-gruity and i: and absurdity

id in it. But as you drive over theheights, miles away from the city, thatmarvelous dome is still the most impres-sive a.nd marvelous objeot that youas you stand at night in front of the Cap-itol, when the moon is full, looking at tna

of either end, you feel the truth oftho poet's lines,

'• Earth proudly wears the Par .As the beat gem ap

The unbli mished whiteness of the buil-:-; striking It sparkles in tho moon.

')'• fn the t'uil: ,t sunshine it is neverglaring to the distant eye. The neigh-borhood of Washington is so picturesque-ly rolling that the dome is constantly sotin tho iinest landscape conditions. Its

is liko that of the grandest naturalobjeot—a mountain or the Boa ; and itgives a character to the entire land-

whieh woui.l otherwise be wanting.The associations of the city are modernand politic il ; but every greal work ofplastic art th it touches the imaginationbelongs to the common realm of poetry.Ou some soft, rich October day, when thewarm h of the sun is ripe, not crude,sweet as the juices of the fruit it mollowe,drive to the cemetery on G nrgetown

beautiful and sunny city of thedead. Then, pushing out upon the Rock-ville pike, you Trill Bee the Potomac Val-ley to the lefi and the shining line of thostream, and further round toward yourright, as you turn, the .Capitol. Turningat a certain point sharply to the left, andwinding round along a narrow road, justupon the verge of the hill as you begin todescend, stop and look.

On such a day, in snch a light and air,.ftll things are "beautiful. But here, onthis rough road, among these untilledfields, this land of whose rotnanco evenIl-iwthorno despaired, you suddenly seeat the same moment two of the most mem-orable views which your memory willbring back from Europe, or from -ill his-toric and romantic lands. What magicspell enthralls you—for you see at oncetho dome of St. Pete 's from the VillaDoria, and the towered castle of Chillonupon the Like of Geneva ! I t is the Cap-itol dome, with the long white line of thebuilding itself, and the pile of fche Qtown College, which from this point ap-pears to stand upon tho edgo of the Po-tomac, that broadens, apparently land-looked, into a placid and gloaming lake.It is a view wliieh adils to the charm ofthe American landscape the fascinationof romantic and historic suggestion. Itis one of the pictures which memory nev-er loses, which gives us, in a certain sense,all the beauty with none of the sadnessof the scenes which it recalls.—Harper'*Afagazine.

A Traveling Sidewalk.The imperative demand in large cities

for some mi ana of tr;r. ling quicklypoint to point on u.ivii de-signs for securing rapid tnnisit. Themost curious that has yet been projectedis a plaa, already p ttented, for a movingsidewalk, which shall be in perpetual mo-tion, carrying pedestrians at the rate often miles an hour, a speed which theycan increase by their whole power of in-dependent motion

Tho particulars of the plan are brieflythese : It is proposed to have a serif i ofpillars along the outer vergt) of the curb-stones rising to the height of the secondstory of ordina y buildings. Space be-tween the tops of these pillars and thobuildingsajacont is t jbe a sidewalk, one-half of which is movable and the otherstationary. It is to lie reached at everycorner by a stairway. On tho inner orstationary walk pedestrians can pass backand forth at their leisure, entering storesand offices whioh might then occupy thesecond story of the building, and be en-tered immediately from the street. Theother half of the walk made a so't of 1.U-tice work and moving on small truckswhich me beneath tho surface and alto-gether concealed from view, is propelledat the rate of ten miles an hour by en-gines beneath the surface of the groundat such intervals OS in <y be necessary tosecure tho requisite power. The sidewalkis moved by friction rollers, works 1 uponby shafts which pass through the uprightpillars, and ou one side of the street pass-es up, and on the other down, continuallynight and day. (>;i this moving road-way, pedestrians may stand or occupy thenumerous chairs or settees therein pro-vided, aud be traveling toward their des-tination nt the pate often miles an hour,or, it'so inclined, can walk at full speedin tho same direction, thereby addingfour or five miles an hour to their rate ofprogress.

Tho most ingenious part of tho wholelontrivance is the device for getting on

and off this moving pathway. The pedes-trian mounts to the stationary walk, andthe n ii' he were to step from this to themoving one, he would of course be sud-denly floored. To prevent such a eatas-trophe, there is a series «f seats ingenious-ly contrived to move partly on the mova-ble and partly on the stationary walk.These are stopped by applying a brake,which releases thorn from the movingplatform and allows them to run on theirown tracks on tho -tationary one, wherethey are readily l'he passengartakes his seat, the conductor' takes tare,and the brake is reversed, and immediate-ly the seat moves on, and the traveler oanleave it without the risk of breaking hisneck.

All this is very curious and novel, buthow about its practicability? Wo aretold that several competent engineershave examined into tho plan and pro-nounce it entirely feasible and far less ex-pensive than any that Iris been brOSbefore for carrping citizens rapidly up:m 1 down town, or back and forth be-tween distant points. The maefawill work with very little noise, and thatwill be continuous, and therefore scarce-ly noticeable ; there will be no danger ofaccident, and the contrivan: e can tie putup in any street, long or short, where itmay be required. I t is said that an attempt is to bo made very soon to demon-strate the feasibility of this scheme, prob-ably on Chambers street, from PavoniaPerry to Broadway.

The late Prof. Win. Gibson used to re-late that while going through the- wardof a hospital with Velpeau, that surgeonbrought him to the bedside of two nunwho were under treatment for some slightfracture. "Would you believe it," saidVelpeau, " these men have made a livingfor the last fifteen years by being knock-ed down anrl run over ! When they M •a light vehicle driven by some wo.ilthyperson coming by, they step across thestreet, ami are sure to be run over, pick-ed up, and carried to some hospital, andthen they sue for damage;. When theirmoney becomes exhausted, they beginagain. Nearly every bone in their bodieshave been broken."

CAMRIUDGE, Mass., January 2.—Pro-fessor Benjamin Pierce, Superintendent.<. ilie United States Coast Survey, hasjust received the following letter fromProfessor Agassi/,, director of the Hamletexpedition, detailing the important dis-covery which he has imido while steam-ing in the Gulf Stream :

ST. THOMAS, December 15, 1871.M Y DEAR PBOFBSSOB : For several

days after we left Boston I was greatlytroubled by ;> sense of general weakness,so much so that more than once I thoughtI had undertaken more than I had thestrength for. But as soon as we got intowarmer latitudes I felt better and now Iurn actually improving beyond my con-dition at the start. As soon as we reach-ed the Gulf Stream wo began to work.Indeed Pourtales organized a party tostudy the temp-.'i'.itures as soon as weed Gray Head, ana he will himself n porthis results to you. which are quite inter-eating. My attention was entirely turn-ed to

THE Gn.l'-WEED

and its inhabitants, of which we madeextensive collections. Our observationsfavor the view of those who beliovo thatthe floating weed is derived from plantstorn from the rocks upon which sargaa-suin naturally grows. I made a very sim-ple experiment which seems to me to set-tle the matter. Every branch of the sea-weed that is deprived of its floats at oncesinks to tho bottom of the water, andthese floats are not likely to be the firstparts developed from the spores. More-over, after examining a very large quan-tity of the weed, I can say that I havenot S-en a branch however small whichdid not exhibit distinct marks of havingbeen torn from a solid attachment.

DispovEBY or A NEST OF n s n .You may hardly feel an interest in my

zoological observations, but I am suro youwill be pleased to learn that we had thebest opportunity of carefully examiningmost of the animals known to inhabit theGulf-weed, and some which I did notknow to occur among thorn. However,the most interesting discovery of the voy-age thus far is the iinding of a nest builtby fish, floating on the broad ocean withit.-; live freight. On the 13th of tho month.Mr. .Mansiield, ono of tho officers of theHauler, brought mo a hall of Gulf-weedwhich lie had just picked up, and whiohexcited my curiosity to tho utmost. Itw M a round mass of sargassum, about theaize of two lists, rolled up together. Tnewhole consisted to all appearance of noth-ing but Gulf-weed, the branches andleaves of which were, however, evidentlyknit together and not only balled into aroundi sta mass, for though somo of the

and branches hung loose from therest, it became at once visible that thebulk of the ball was held together bythreads trending in every direction amongthe sea-weeds, as if a couple ofhandfulsof branches of sargassum had been rolledup together wit h I breads trendingin every direction. Put back into a largebowl of water, it beoamo apparent thatthis m^ss of k-we ids was a nest, tho cen-tral part of which was more closely boundup together in the form of a ball, with

. extending in var-Lreotions, by which, tho whole was

kept floating.LT7CTCEE OF T H E N K S T . .

iareful examifm y soonreveal ; the fact that the elastic threadswhich held the Gulf-weed together werebeaded at intervals, sometimes two orthree beads being closo together, or abunch of them hanging from tho same

•r of threads, or they were more rare-ly scattered at a greater distance ono from

fcher. Nowhere was there much reg-ularity observable in tho distribution ofthe beads, and they were found scatteredthroughout the whole ball of sea-weedspretty uniformly. The beads themselveswere about the si/e of an ordinary pin'shead. We had, no doubt, a nest beforeus of the most curious kind, full of eggs,too, and the eggs scattered throughoutthe mass of the nest and not placed to-gether in a oavity of the whole structure.

WHAT WAS THE BUil DEB ':

What animal could have br.ilt this sin-gular nest'? was tho next question. It did

ike much time to ascertain tho olasaof the animal kingdom to which it be-longs. A common pocket lens at once re-vealed two large eyes upon the side of thehead and a tail bent over the back of thebody, as the embryo uniformly appears inordinary fishes shortly before the periodof hatching. The many empty egg-casesobserved in tho nest gave promise of anearly opportunity of seeing some embryosfreeing themselves from their envelope..Meanwhile a number of those eggs withthe live embryos were cut out of the nestand placed in separate glass jars to mul-tiply the changes of preserving them,while the nest as a whole was secured inalcohol at a memorial of our unexpecteddiscovery.

WHAT THE EMBRYOS ARE.

The next*day I found two embryos inone of my glass jars. They occasionallymoved in jerks and then remained for along while motionless upon the bottomof t!ie jar. O a the third day] hail overa dozen of these young fishes in my rack,the oldest of which begin to be more act-ive and promise to afford further oppor-tunities for study. I need no! relate indetail the evidence I soon obtained thatthese embryos were fishes. Suffice it tosay that the dorsal cord with its hicere tl bant was readily visible, as well as

'itil liu with its rays, in tho eyes(he coloboma had not yot been fully clos-ed, and blood eurreiri.s were unmist ikableupon the yolk bag. But what kind offish was ! bis ? About the time of hatch-ing the fins of this class of animals differtoo much from those of the adult, and thegeneral form exhibits too few peculiari-ties, to afford any due to this problem. Icould only suppose that it would likelyprove to be one of the pelagic species ofthe Atlantic, and of these the most com-mon are exOCetUS, naueratas, scopelus,chii ineetes, syngnethus, monacanthus,tetraodon, and diodon. Was there a wayto come nearer to a correct solution ofmy doubts?

THE PROBLEM BOLTED.

As I had in former years made a some-xteusive study of the pigment.celjs

of the skin in a variety of young fishes Inow resorted to this method to identitymy embryos. Happily wo had on boardseveral pelagio fishes alive, which couldafford means Of comparison, but unfortu-nately the steamer was shaking too muchand rolling too heavily for microscopicobservation of even moderately high pow-ers. Nothing, however, should bo leftuntried, and the very first comparison Imade secured tho desired result. The pig-ment cells of a young chironectcs piotus

I identical with our littlo embryos.It thus stauds as a well-authenticated factthat the common pelagic chironectcs oftho Atlantic (named chironectes piotus byCuvier) builds a nest for its eggs in whichthe progeny is wrapped up with the ma-terials of which the nest itself is compos-ed, and as these materials are living Gulf-weed, the fish cradle, rocking upon thedeep ocean, is oarried along as an undy-ing arbor, affording at the saino timo pro-tection and afterwards food for its livingfreight.

T H I S M A R V E L O U S S T O R Y

acquires additional interest if wo nowtake into consideration what are the char-acteristic peculiarities of the chironectes.As its name indicates, it has fins likohands; that is to say, the pectoral fins arcsupported by a kind of prolonged, wiist-liko appendages, and the rays of tho ven-trals are not unlike rude fingers. Withthese limbs these fishes have long beenknown to attach themselves to sea-weeds,and rather to walk than to swim in theirnatural element. But now that we havebecome acquainted with their mode of re-production, it may fairly be asked if themost important use to which their pecu-liarly constructed (ins are put is uot prob-ably in building their nest?

WHAT LED TO THIS 11ESULT.

The discovery of this nest was quite ao-oidental, but not so the examination ofthe largo masses of tho floating weedswhich we met with its soon as \va enteredthe waters of tho Gulf Stream. I hadmade it my chief business to examine thofloating sargassum with tho intention ofsolving, if possible, the question of it•; ori-gin. I had delivered a lecture to all onboard, in which was stated all I knew onthe subject and what I wanted to ascer-tain further, thus hoping to enlist tho in-terest of the officers of the ship, and ofmy scientific fellow-travelers, in tho ob-ject of my search. I had told them that1 did not believo the- Gulf-weed could mul-tiply while floating, even though thefloating branches might enlarge. I hadsuggested the gathering of tho smallestbranches of the weed with a view to as-certaining whether not all, even the verysmallest, bore signs of having been tornviolently away from a fixed attachment.From that day not a patch of Gulf-weedpassed our ship within reach that was notcarefully looked at, and hauled up if itpresented any peculiar appearance, (indno doubt I have my reward for that lec-ture in tho discovery of the nest of chi-ronectes.

THE NEST AND THE FISHES.There remains one closing chapter to

add to this story. May some naturalistbecalmed among the Gulf weed have thegood fortune of witnessing the process bywhich the nest is built. From an embry-ological point of view these little fishesare quite interesting. In the first placethe embryonal vertical fin, which extendsalong the whole back in the fish embryosthus far known, begins very far behindin the young chironectes, and does uot ex-ist upon the neck and back. In the sec-ond place the position of the heart is verypeculiar. Instead of lying at the junc-tion of the yolk bag with the head, it oc-cupies a low position in tho front part ofthe J'olk.

All tho officers of tho Hassler are inde-fatigable in their efforts to help our in-vestigations, and even the men show use-ful interest in our proceedings. We havejust reached St. Thomas, so that I havenothing^to add as to observations ".madehero. Ever truly your friend,

Influenza iu Horses.Under this head a writer in a late num-

ber of the American Rural Home talks inthis wise:

" Tho above name is appied to a febrilefrequently prevailing as an epi-

demic among horses. It may prevail atany season of the year, yet it is moreprevalent in the Fall and Spring months.It is accompanied by various local man-ifestations, in some cases a catarrhal andin others a rheumatic or dropsical form.When it assumes a catarrhal form, it isalmost always attended with sore throat,which i3 frequently mistaken for diphthe-ria. When it assumes a rheumatic char-acter, the joints of the limbs<ilrc puffedout or distended wi'h a synovial fluid,with more or less edema of the surround-ing parts, and is accompanied with ten-derness, lameness, and moro or less stiff-ness of the muscular system. This formis usually termed rheumatic influenza.The dropsical form of the disease (fre-

f oalled " pink-eye") manifests it-suif by extensive swellings on tho limbs,breast, belly and sheath.

In whatever form it makes its appear-ance, it is characterized, in its earlier sta-ges, by dullness and debility—evinces atendency to assume a typhoid type, andis frequently complicated with other dis-eases. In fact, the peculiar condition ofthe system when the malady has oncefastened upon a subject predisposa powor-fully to local diseases, as pneumonia,pleurisy, lamitiitis, ete. It is consequenceof the different forms which the diseasemay assume, and the complications whichmay attend it, that so many niistalmade in the diagnosis of the disease andin the treatment adopted.

The following treatment is recommen-ded: First, place the animal in a well-ventilated, roomy box stall; clothe thepatient properly, according to the tof the year ; allow a soft, laxative diet,say mashes of malt, if there is not muchweakness, or of coarse bran, if there is notmuch debility; allow plenty of water,neftrly cold. " These directions apply toany form of the disease; but in regard tomedicine, the. remedies should be adaptedto the particular condition of the pa-tient. If of a catarrhal nature and at-tended with sore throat, I recommend thefollowing: Take chlorate of potash, fourdrachms; extract of belladonna, onedrachm: pulverized oamphor, half adrachm ; linseed meal, two draohms; mo-

i, four drachms. Kub all well to-gether and give for ono dose, by smear-it on tho tongue (with a wooden spatula]or between the grinders. A dose shouldbo given night and morning. Experiencehas convinced me that a paste is tho bestform in which medicine can be adminis-tered for sore throat. Billing is apt toincrease tho soreness, and drenching canseldom be borne, as it is certain to causeviolent coughing, strangling, etc.

For the dropsical form, the followingmedicine will be found useful : Take pul-verized camphor, half a drachm ; pulver-ized digitalis, half a drachm; Iiimeal, two and half drachms; molas- stwo and half drachms by weight ; pul-verized sal. nitre, three drachms. Mixthoroughly for ono ball, and give thisquantity twice a day until six or eightdoses have been given.

For rheumatic influenza give the lastnamed remedies, with tho exception ofdigitalis, for which colchicum should besubstituted, say ono drachm to each

Local treatment is of so little value thatit may well be omitted altogether. He-roic treatment, such as blood-letting andpurgatives, should in all cases be careful-ly avoided. If tho bowels are conted, injections should bo given. Takewarm water, ono gallon; soft-soap, twoounces; this quantity maybe injectedtwice a day. If tho throat is sore, rub itwith the following : Olive oil, two ounoos ;aqun ammonia, one ounco. Mix.

When recovery commences, .a nutri-tious diet should be given, and tonics maybe administered. Take sulphate of iron,two ounoes pulverized gentian, two ouu-oet pulverized ginger, four ounces. Mixand divide into twelve parts, and giveono night and morning, mixed with food.

Have We a Healthy Man Among Us;I t is the custom, now-a-dayK, in speak"

ing of tho physical condition of thoAmerican people, to assume that whatev-er characteristics belong to them aro tobe traced back to women; and as eventhe casual observer perceives that we, asa people, aro subject to various weakness-es or disorders, the consequence is thattho delicate shoulders of women areweighed down with a hoavy bundlo ofcomplaints and advice. Against this woprotest. It is not courteous, to say theleast; and besides, tho assumption is unsupported. When it comes to a matter oihealth, tho question is not one of sex, butof race ; and although it is undoubtedlytrue that uu people can long maintainitself without healthy mothers, yet it isjust as true that no peoplo can long main-tain itself without healthy fathers.

Havo wo a healthy man among us PYes, as an individual, but he is not whatia called, in current talk, "the averageman." This is tho land of patent medi-cine.;, and tho supply is according to thedemand.

There are two specific causes for the illhealth of men. In tho first place, everyman is trying to get on in life. Wo beginwhen wo aro boys. No one is born to aplace in society. Every ono ii told andfeels that he must make for himself aplace. And so, that ho may step higherup, he i'i continually aiming at a star,rather than a tree, or often exhausts him-self in seeking that which is still beyondhim.

In tho second place, tho pleasures ofmen often injure them. The young manat college rows himself out of health,while the man of business mistakes ex-citement for pleasure. There must besomething pungent and almostaorid abouteven the occupations of a day of leisure.There is no timo in these days for one tosit in tho sun and sing old songs.

Something more is charged upon wo-man. In her devotion to fasliion it issaid that she renders herself unfit to be-como a mother. But how is it with mon?Has not indulgence as often ruined thefather as fashion the mother?- 2f. Y. Ec-enimj Post.

Plenty of Gas, but no Light.F r o m tho Journal of Appl ied Chemistry.

The custom of paying for gas by thecubic foot without regard to its illumi-nating power, is liko buying all cloth ata uniform price por yard, without anyquestion as to the fitness of the wool. Noone would like to pay as much for shoddy as forcassimere, and yet shoddy gas istho principal article now furnished tocustomers, while tho price actually pailcalls for tho best gas that can be made.The city companies should be "compelledto furnish a gas of a prescribed densityand fixed candle power. Some of theLondon companies prido themselves onkeeping up the illuminating power oftheir gas to tho maximum standard offifteen candles, and in twenty-two Eng-lish works the gas from tho best coalsranges from twelve to fourteen candlesthrough burners consuming five cubic feetper hour. Besides the loss to the con-sumer in the amount of light afforded bypoor gas, there is another difference whichtells in favor of the company. Assumingthe specific gravity of the poor gas to be5, and that of a rich gas 7.00, tho formerwill piss through a burner much fasterthan tho rich, and increaso the bills oftho consumer from 30 to 50 per cent, with-out any corresponding incrcasu in th •photometic power of the gas. Thereought to be a fixed standard (say sixteenoandles) prescribed by law, and an in-spector appointed to see that tho compa-nies comply with it, and in casn of anysu :h breach of contract a heavy penaltyshould be imposed. I t is not darknossthat we,want, but light, and for the sakeof the thousands of poor sewing womenand working men something should bodons to save money and eyesight. Letquality, not quantity, govern in this mat-ter. Wo have plenty of gas, but notenough light.

calls attention to tho fact that the origi-nal of Shakespeare's Shylock was a Chris-tian, aud not a Jew. He quotes from tho11'a book ofGregorio Lett's Biographyof Sixtus V. in proof of this. A U_>m.inmerchant, named Sechi, heard that Ad-miral Francis Blake had conquered SanDomingo, and communicated tho newsto a Jewish merchant named Ceneda.The latter was so confident iu the false-ness of the news that, after repeated prd-testations, he said, '• I bet a pound of myflesh that the report 13 untrue." "And Ilay a thousand soudi against it," rejoinedtho Christian, who caused a bond to bedrawn up to tho effect that in case- thereport should prove .untrue, then theChristian merchant, Signor Paul M.

The « Cicuoral Order " Business.fum tho Xew York Tribune.

It is an unfortunate consequence of thodesultory mainiwr in which tho Investiga-tion into onstom-hcnwe abuses has beenoonduotod, that tho evidence of mer-chants nnd officials as to tho extortionatecharacter of Leot & Co.'s monopoly oftho "Ui'iieral Order business" has beenscattered over many columns of th» pa-pers, and, therofore, lost upon those whohave not carefully studied the testimotiy.Wo havo already published, in the article•which directed attention to this outrage-ous system (and which has already beenoverwhelmingly sustained by the swornevidence}, a clear narrative of its originand its reckless m;uiagement by Leet andStocking. But it may be1 worth whilejust now to collate some of the evidencesince adduced, and show precisely whatthe merchants of New York have beencompelled to endure and tha amount ofmonoy out of which they have been swin-dled, in order that a retired army cap-tain and sutler may live and grow rich.

The "General Older business" growout of the necessities of the great steam-ship companies about 1554. In order tomake rapid runs their vessels required fa-cilities for discharging; and Congress,upon proper representations, gave themtho right to unship cargoes before inspec-tion and entry into warehouses under a" general order" from, tho custom-houseto iisoharge. Each separate invoice ofthu various importers was then entered atthe General Order stores, and thu respon-sibility of the steamship company ceased.This system, thus originating, continuedwithout general complaint by merchants,and at reasonable cost, until 1870, when,on representation that much thieving andsmuggling were going on at the JerseyCity and Ilobokcn stores, Collector Grin-nell moved tha General Order stores tothe New York side, and placed them un-der the saino regulations as bonded ware-houses. Simultaneously, Collector Grin-nell organized ft Cartage Bureau, by•which it is claimed that tho expenses ofthe General Order business were reducednearly 30 par cent. " Mr. Grinuell in-sisted," testifies Mr. John P. Lindsay,who was directed to examine into thesystem, " that it should be reduced Bomothirty per cent."

Iu 1S70, George K. Lect, then a cap-tain in tho army, appeared in New York,a complete stranger, with only a letter ofgeneral introduction from PresidentGrant, on whose staff he had served inthe army, and at once set up a claim tothe possession of tho General Order busi-ness. He was given a share of it, whichhe sold to a notorious Tammany politi-cian named Francis M. Bixby, for thesum of $5,625 per annum, and an equalBh;u-e of tho profits, over $10,000. This isin proof over Loot's own handwriting.Not content with this profitable arrange-ment, considering that he had never in-vested a dollar, Leet claimed tho whol" Genoral Order business." On the re-moval of Mr. Griiinell, which Leet hadthreatened to bring about, saying, as Mr.Lindsay swears, that "ho would have anow Collector if he did not. get what hewanted," he came into full, and until thistime undisputed possession.

The low rates established by Mr. Grin-nell wore at oncodiscarded, and since thenLeot has practically been unlimited iuhis charges by any regulations of the Cus-tom-House. Mr. Alexander T. Stewarthas testified that in consequence of thegift to Leot of this monopoly, which hedenounced as an outrage upon the mer-chants, (l)tlie storage capacity "of theGeneral Order stores had been reducedthough the business had been augmentedby the transfer of thu Jersey stores to this,side; ('2) that an extra, unnecessary chargefor cartage had been made compulsory(3) that "interminable delays," resultingfrequently in heavy losses to the import-er from fluctuations in prices, often aamuch as 20 pir cent., had ensued ; (4') tha'insurance rates on General Order goodshad advanced from 10 cents to 65 centsper hundred dollars J (5) that tho ehargifor storage had nearly doubled; ((>) andthat Lee,); was charging from $1.25 to $1.75per package, which was double tho fairand former rates for storage, cartage andlabor. Mr. Stewart's clerk in charge ofthe General Order business stated in ad-dition, as corroborating ami strengthen-ing the first statement of his chiot'j thatsince Leet came into his monopoly onlytwo " General Order " stores remained inth« whole port of Xew York, and thatwhile $1 per package was the maximumcharge under former divisions of the bus-iness when there were sufficient stores,the charges now were $1.75. David Og-den, another old merchant, swore that fortho benefit of " Loot's pet warehouses"he was charged storage when his goodsremained on his own ship, and that for awedding-cake sent him Irom England hehad to pay $1 for storage and cartage,though ho had walked oil' with the-pack-age under his arm. Mr. Henry A. Gar-rison testified that under the- old systemhe had never paid at Jersey City and llo-boken more than $1, whereas he had paidLoot $2 and in one instance f 2.50 perpackage. Xor wore these the only wit-nesses who showed conclusively that un-der Leet the charges had advanced fully50 per cent.

I'or the purpose of arriving at a calcu-lation of what merchants have suffered attho hands oi' this imported monopolist ofthe General Order business, let us adopt50c as the difference between tho averagecharges of a year ago aud the present ex-orbitant rates. Mr. Lindsay furnished inhis important testimony a calculation ofthe business for a single quarter of thedullest season of lSGci, showing that 130,-000 packages went to General Orders.This is at tlie. ruti: oi 620,000 packages ayear, a very low calculation, as everymerchant acquainted with tho businesswill conclude. Here, then.i&a total prof-it to this interloping captain of tho army,without any interest in the trado of theport, never having invested ono penny iuthe business, of $2G0,0o0, wrung from themerchants thus helplessly subjected to therapacity of a mere politician with mys-terious influence at Washington.

It seems to us that nothing more oughtto L'e necessary to be added to this briefstatement of the well-established facts inregard to this outrageous system to secureits summary correction. Merchants cannot be expected to submit forever to suchexactions. No administration or partycan afford to sustain such impostors asLeet and Company. We appeal to Gen-eral Grant for the sake of his administra-tion and our party to get rid of Leot agreat deal quicker than ho got rid of Mur-phy.

A JUDICIAL FARCE.In tho Supremo Court oi the- United"

States, on Monduy, ono of the greatestjudicial faries was enacted which has ever'been " put upon the boards " in this-coun-try. The telegraph thus briefly cliir.ni-cles it, but the mails will doubtless bringfuller criticisms from- " scporters on thospot:". " l a thw supreme Court to-day, Associ-ate Justice Strong delivered the opinionof the court, affirming the constitutional-ity of the legal tender acts of Congress,Messrs. Swayne, Miller, and Bradley con-curring. Tho last named read his viewson ono branch of the question. ChiefTustico Chase delivered a disenting one forlimself. Messrs Field's, Clifford's andkelson's views on tho same; side were

read by Clifford. Field and Nelson worebsent."This is nothing more or less than a rte-

rersal of a former decision ofthc Gotfrt—he highest tribunal knowiv fa onr coun-ry and laws,—procured by means d!s-;racefui to all parties participating and;oncerned. After a full and patient hear-ng the Court had decided that the legal;ender act, so far as it made greenbacksa legal tender on contracts dated prior toits passage, was unconstitutional and void,This decision did not satisfy the greatorporations of the covmtry, eorpora-iionB

owing largo debts, contracted on a goldbasis, and forthwith it was determinedthat by book or crook, fair means or foul,tho decision should bo reversed. Andwith this end in view Congress wasduced to reconstruct tho Supreme Court.The Executive could not remove the of-fending judges, but Congress was iu*3ter

dof the situation. Congress acted as or-dered ; by legislation two appointmentswere given to GRANT, and GnAN'T, awilling party to tha scheme—wo hadnearly written tool, and will write TOOI>—nominated Messrs.

And Jastkes BRADLEY and STRONG ro-enforce tho three dissenting Justices, or-der the case re-heard, and reverse thoformer decision. The first decision wasmade by five concurring Jmtices, thr?odissenting, there being then eight mem-ben of tho Court. The new decision isconcurred in by tive Justices, and the-dis-senters number four. Ono of the concur-ring Justices is an addition to thoCourt, the other (ills the seat occupied bythr» late Justice Gr.lEis wlio-concurred inthe former decision. A decision obtainedin this way is disgraceful to the Court,and will command vary little respect fromrettectingjnen throughout tho world. Itis a very big nail driven into the coflin ofan independent Judiciary.

ALL SORTS OF PARAGRAPHS.

TUB WHITE HOUSE RING.A. T. STEWART, President GRANT'S first

choice for Secretary of tho Treasury, in histestimony before tho Senate Committeeof Investigation, swore that tho "generalorder business " at tho Kew York CustomHouse was so managed as to extort un-just charges, that it was a nuisance, inshort that it was robbery, and that hehad complained directly to tho Presidentwithout the evil being in the least abated. Oth-er New York merchants concurred with.Mr. STEWART in the views he so forciblypresented.

Now this " genernl order business " is amonopoly, is enjoyed by LEET & Co., andby LEET & Co. is used to extract seseralhundred thousands of dollars annually fromthe pockets of the importers, to be charg-ed, of course, directly to the purchasersand consumors. And who is LEET ?

Mr. LINDSAY swears that he was ayoung army officer, a member of Qi: ANT'Sstaff; that ho came to Ntw York " seek-ing business," with a letter from the Pres-ident to Mr. GRINNKLL; that he inform-ed Mr. G. that he (G.) wes to bo appoint-ed Collector, and that th<} " general orderbusiness" was "the business" he (LEET)wanted. Mr. GRINNELL was appointed,and Mr. GRINNELL gave GRANT'S youngfriend,—a stranger to New York, NewYork merchants,. and to even business ofany kind,—by GRANT'S request, a shareof the "general order business." Theshare did not long satisfy young LEET orhis backers at Washington, and he de-manded, according to Mr. LINDSAY,.thewhole of it, threatening Collector GRIN—NELL with removal if it was refused. Itwas refosod, and Mr. GRINNELL was re-moved, TOM MURPHY appointed, LEET& Co.— STOCKING, PORTER, BAMOCK,

and probably GRANT constituting " thomess" and the Co.—given tho demandednionorjoly, and the charges established byMr. GRINNELL at once doubled. Thosefacts are sworn to by Republicans of po-sition and reputation. What sayhonest Republicans ? Is it not proof pos-itive that the President is responsible forthe abuses and robberies at the New YorkCustom House, and that no remedy needbe looked for until a change of adminis-tration is secured r

— An article will bo found in anothercolumn, from the New York Tribune. Theclosing sentence, calling upon GRANT toremova LEET & Co., in view of the testi-mony of LINDSAY, is laughable as absurd.

IN THE United States Circuit Court atDetroit, on Tuesday, a decision was ren-dered in tho several cases involving thorailroad aid bonds, and by a unanimousconcurrence of the Judges, EMERSON,LoNUYEAR, and WlTHEY, tho former de-cision of the Supreme Court of this Statewas reversed, nullified, and held fornaught.

Ami Arbor find the University.A- correspondent of the Buffalo C'nirvr,-

are, of Hamilton College, ifwe may be allowed' a Yankee's jrrivik'goof griessing,—writes V,<i*iiwpTessforts of ourcity and the University as follows:

ANN ARSOR, Michigan, Jan. •">, 1872.EDITORS COURIER :— Thinking they

would be of interest to your readers, IBend you a tVw notes from Ann Arbor, thete it of tlio University of Michigan.

Ann Arbor is an attractive town of abont9,00(1 inhabitants,.and is situated on theMichigan Central cai&bad, forty uiUeswest of Detroit. The city has a fine lo-

hjtron river. The valley<rf the Huron is noted for its fertile soiljii I wealthy formers. The sooietyAnn Arbor in refinement and culture isfully equal to many older and morev,. . j l l i / places. The advantages offeredhf the University attract hither familiesof wealth and leisure. This is a very live-ly business town, but it very much aoedlincreased railroad facilities. This wantwill be supplied by the- projected roadknown as the Toledo, Ann Arbor andNorthern Railroad. The road will soonbe under construction between Ann Ar-bor and Toledo. A connection will bomade with the Canada Southern at Dun-dee ; this, with the important connectionsat Toledo, will add much to the commer-cial interests of Ann Arbor.

The chief object of interest here is, o:course, the University. For tho past tw(yean the college has been without aprevident, though during that time tho dutioof that office were ably executed by ProtVrk-jo. After careful inquiry tho regent• l.cteil Dr. J. B. Angell, of Vermont University, to tho presidency. Ho began Liduties with the present college year. IiPresident Angell thu friends of the University havo all tUoso traits, both naturaand Boo/nil lit, tf»»t constitute tho successful college president; his scholarship amthorough culture aro an ornament to thUniversity of which they may well bproud. He has marked executive abilitcombined with, an attractive luanucx i>governing.

His popularity among tho students anfriends of the University has not been atturnedb; any previous president i n sshoi-t n tin'e. Two years since it was ordcred by the. regents that ladies, shoulbo admitted to all the departments oi' thUuiveisity. During the first yem-butonelady was admitted. Their number hasrapidly increased until now in all tho de-partments there are sixty-iive. There aretwo in the law department, thirty-five intho medical, and twenty-eight in tho lit-erary. Those interested in the subject ofco-education have watohed with interestthe result of the experiment. The ladies,

of different application, and questions togothor with Pennsylvania prove Demo-thcir importune'.- in the ever-shifting: crutic, and Nnv York Republican, the

i)£ human uiV.iirs, mid discarding I)t>mo<H'ati« candidate would have'a ma-ll Harrow ideas, abandoning the consi'1- rity of twelve electoral votecFation of all questions which liuvc been

r»pt» this time, bare boon :»s pro:»pt andthorough as tbt'gyntlomen. Though manyof the old students looked upon the ad-vent of the ladies as an intrusion, a gen-tlemanly reserve and decorum has alwaysbeen maintained The goneral verdict isthat tho new order of things is y»t ttn ex-periment. Dr. Angell lias not committedhimself on the question. Tho studentsgenerally consider co-education still aniijrvii ipiestion. The omens, however, arefavorable, and tho result will probably besatisfactory to tha friends of co-education.

The nurabwiif students now in the I'ui-verstty is 1,158 ; of these, there arc 960inthe literary department; 31N in tho law,and 340 in tho medical. On a portion, oftho topics in the niedical department lec-tures are given to the ladies apart fromthe gentlemen.

The chief attraction on tho atmpus isthe University Hall, now being erected.The legislature at its last session appro-priated $75,000 for college building pur-poses. The hall, when completed, will boan attractivo and substantial edifice. I tconsists of the main building and twowings. The size of the central buildingis 128 by 140 feet; each wing 40 by UUfeet. The total length of front is 31.S feet.The auditorium will scat .'i,000 people.

Tho University of Michigan has done agrand work in tli* interests of the higher.ducation. Under tho now regime of Dr.Vugell it will take yet more, rapid stridestoward the desired end—a true univer-sity.

Thanks are duo to Mr. II. D. Bennett,Secretary of the University, for his courtesy in imparting information. PAX.

A Letter from Mr. Peiidletotr.The Hon. Gi:o. II. PE.NDI.KTOX, in re-

sponse to an invitation given him byWooster Democrats to join them in cele-l>7a.tiivi the recent anniversary of the bat-tlo of Xew Orleans, wrote as follows :

CINCINNATI, December 30, 1871.Mes3is. Kshelmen, Foristone, Baughman,

Couimittae of Invitation.GEN I'LHMEN': I regret that I cannot ac-

cept your invitation to bo present at thenext annual celebration of the Sth of Jan-uary. It would havo given mo groatpleasure to meet aud take counsel of thosewho are so well-grounded in the -faith

; ar;tioe of Democracy as the men ofWayne County, and with thorn to recallthe principles and example of the foundors of our party.

Two great dangers imperil free institu-tions under the policy ox the narty nowin power. Tho spirit of cen-truliaea mili-tary government attacks everywhere theConstitution, and corruption in otH ;o de-stroys tho civil administration. I do notspeak merely or chiefly of special defal-cations however startling, but of the gen-eral degradation of the standard of offi-cial integrity until tho offices in both theoivil and military service scorn to bo con-sidered tho property of the party, to bodispensed aud administered primarily forparty aggrandisement or personal profit.

These dangers grow out of, and are in-separable from, tho proscut organizationof the Republican party. Us foundation,its philosophy, its history, and its leadorsrecognize military power and the corrupt-ing uso of money by official patronage aslegitimate forces in ordinary civil administration, artel now more than ever arothey brought into active exoroiso. TheDemocratic party confronts this theoryand denounces these practioes.

Founded upon the idea of local gov-ernment, jealous of powers granted to au-thority, taught that simplicity and econ-omy are essential to the honesty neces-sary in Republican institutions, it main-tains itl more determined purpose that

1ocided or buried by the events whichave passed; recognizing'tf*e-accomplish-d facts of the present, and appreciating,ho dangers of the future, it will invite,oth by words and by deeds, both by res-lutions and by nominations, the zealous,icarty co-operation of all men who be-Leve that the Constitution is a better sys-

of.government thail martial law, andbar*reform in the civil service is a higher

duty than rewarding prospective parti-an effort by distributing spoils.

By this course Vhc party, L should hope,vould attain success. . If it should oncemore fail, as an honest, faithful, patrioticninority, it will hold an important posi-tion and exert an imnieuso moral power>vev the majority; and it may well waitwith faith tho inevitable h.our which willcrown its fidelity and patience with tsuccess* wliich it will have deserved.

1 am, very respectfully,Your obedient servant,

GEO. H. PENDLETON.

Had Mr. PENDI.ETON several years agocut looso from tho issues "buried by theevonts that have passed," and requiredhis followers to Ao the same, he wouldhave struck the blow at a time when ilwould havo proved much moro effectivethan now.

The Way Leet Got In.The following is tho document under

which Grant's aid. Colonel Led, obtainediinal control of the "general order busi-ness " in Now York :

F. M. Bixby guarantees to tho partycontrolling tho'general order business"of tho North River, excepting the Inmanand National line of steamers, the sum of•$o,G25 per annum profits, payable inmonthly installments in advance, orshould ti>e receipts from tho storage o:goneral order' goods exceed the sum c

110,000 per annum, then tho amount inexcess to bo equally divided be tween MrBixby and the copartners whose influencedirects the business of his warehouses. Iis understood that all receipts from stor-ages of 'general order' goods are to boconsidered as profits—Mr. Bixby furnish-ing warehouse room as an equivalent fortho influence abovo quoted. Should thiarrangement be continued beyond oneyear, then tho sum to bo guaranteed tobe $5,000 per annum. This to tajie effecfrom July 15, 1869."

During tho time that Leet was pocketing thoso Ill-gotten {ptins h© was an officer in the Unite.! States army, detailecfor duty in the War Department.

According to tho Nation theelectoral vote of the- country, as represent-ed by the lust populftf vp,te far bof the IIouso of KepesentatiYes, Uded as fallows ; th'.; number of electoralvotes set opposite each State in the tablebeing the number to which the State willhi; entitled under the new Apportionmentbill, which will probably become a law :State* in which (i Democratic Majority of the

It will bo seen that, could thoso figuresbe taken as trustworthy, the Republicancandidate would, out of tho whole Dum-ber oc three hundred and fifty-seven i^looto al votes, receive a majority of only so-ven. But if we suppose that either SouthCarolina, Arkansas, Connecticut, Louisi-ana, New Hampshire, or California willcast its vote against tho candidato of thoRepublican party, his opponent wouldhave a clear majority. Under tho old ap-portionment the above table would showa Democratic majority of tho eleptoialvote.

Next, we have a comparative statementof tho strength of tho two parties, as in-dicated by the result of tho last Stateelections, thus!Stales giving Democratic Majorities in the last

Tl;c Late Luther Boydcn.Mr. BOYDEN was bora In Coaway, Mass.,

Sept. 30th, 1788. Leaving home at an ear-ly age, b« traveled extensively in ihe South,engaged in various pursuits'. Iu 1820 ticemigrated to Michigan, and located tliefarm on which lie has since resided. Mich-igan was at that time almost an unbrokenffilderncsA, Aim Arbor contained but afew log cabins, and Detroit was the near-est milling and trading point. From tcuto ftltc«n days, with provisions for theJourney, and axe in baaci, following Indiantrails, fording streams, hi* cattle sii!>sting upon browse aud wild gWMBM alongtb» route, were conusmed in making tlietrip.

Arriving late in the season for farmingoperations, Mr. BOTDEN, by dint of harrtwork, succeeded iu erecting a substantialand comfortable loy httine, anrif piittiny; inton neees of wheat the Bret year, gettinghis seed by rare good luck of LuKas WIIIT-MOKJi, or' tnttslleid. In the followingsummer he enlarged his clearing, reservingone acre, which has Iven regularly plantedwith sweet-com for over forty-five years,and has yielded good rctnnn for the invest-ment. Iu June of Hie Bums year his sonJOHN AUGUSTUS, was born. b:-lng the firstwhite male child born in WaslUenaw coun-iy. It would seen) almost superfluous tospeak of Mr. B's succes.4 aa a farmer ; yotas the larger portion of his life tvas spentin tills pursuit, it may uot be amiss to saythat his observation of the great prodti",tive capabilities of the bottom-'ands ol thplanter mny huve determined him In theselection of tlit> site of his own \ though h!fold punw.'iy neighbors regarded it as al-most valueless, being unable to conceivehow land which Iu a state of nature couldproduce auly scrub oaks could be depen-ded on for cereals.

At nn early perisd Mr. • BOVDEW COUceived the idea of miking for himself andfamily a pleasant ho.no, and prompted byhis love of the beautiful he commenced awell-planned system of s!i UO aud tree-pluiAin}* along tha lanes un-l avenues ofhis homestead, which-stan-l to-:lay, HDIIUments of his energy and excellent tusleAt the very outset he Cook an advanced' position In agricultural milters. Discardingthe old-fashioned, clumsy utensils, biskeen mechanical eye was quick to disceflithe utility of more modern inventions, andhe was not siow to test their virtue. Tohim CxttUU W. McGoiiMtcii owes the firstintroduction of his reaper into WashtenawCounty. The organization of the Washtenaw Agricultural Society was one of themany projects with which he was identi-fied ; while the Improvement of the nativebreeds of cattle was greatly forwarded byhis personal example. A man af positiveconvictions, he made the ftvst Innovationupon the long Standing custom ol furnishlug lifjuor at raisings. He determined, Inopposition to the protests of Interested partics and predictions of failure, to raise hisbarn without whisky. The day arrived,the frame went up, and the men, well fedfrom his liberal board, went home soberand well satisfied, while the cause of tem-perance gained a glorious triumph.

In politics he belonged to the school ofCLAY and WEUSTEII, and was.au active,working member of the party, though nev-er desceniing to the levei of the mere of-fice seeker. On tlie disruption of the oldWhig party, h& wa» present vriih the- peo-ple assembled beneath the oaks at Jackson,and assisted at the birth of the Republicanparty. During the War of the Rebellionhis luyalty ro.se to the highest pitch of en-thusiasm, and no one awarded t^ our boysin blue a higher meed of praise than heEducation and its iutm-ests found In himan earnest and cordial supporter. On oneoccasion he opened his own house lor apublic school, when no other place couldbe procured.

JJe was instrumental In locating thecounty scat In Ann Arbor, hsid great influenco in founding the University and deter.mining its site, anUalsa in deciding theroute of the M. C. B. R. The formation ofthe Township of Webster by the divisionof Dexter was among his earliest acts us a

Stealing Thirty Million Dollars' Worthof Public Lands.

One of the latest developments connoc-tcd with tho jobbery «at Washington i» arocent decision ot the Interior Depart-ment by which n railway company is toreceivelanda worth ^iO.000,000. The fol-lowing statement was inudo public sonn;days ago, and we nave seen no denial oftho facts.

In tho Act of July 2d, 1884, Congressgranted to the Burlington and MissouriRiver Railway Company for an extensionOf its road a distance of '-2'-W miles, ton al-ternr.te sections per mile on each side ofthe line of the road, under certain restric-tions, somo of which were—purposely, nodoubt—made vague, although the usualconstructions of such giants would prop-erly ftpply to this.

In the following year, after the compa-ny had filed the m;ip of their route, theyeliiimol that under this lav they Wtrnot limited to any particular distunefrom the line of the road in selecting tinton odd numbered sections per mile oneach side thereof, but that they might select them at any distance lrom tho roaithat it was necessary to go in order noto conflict with the claims of settlers, amto observe tho other exemptions of tlulaw. This claim of the company was allowed by Secretary ll.trhm in 1866, ancho gave them permission to select theiilands accordingly.

Under this authority and constructionof Harliin's the company went right onand listed ubout throe million acres o:land in eastern Kansas and Nebraskatuking the finest they could find, withouregard to the limit prescribed by theirgrant.

Under Andrew Johnson, Mr. Browningsucceeded ilarlan as Secretary of the In-terior, and reversed the decision of hispredecessor, ruling that the grant exten-ded the right only to twenty miles fromeach sidi: of the road, and that in the ab-sence of the idemnifying clause in tlugrant, the company was entitled only tosuch odd numbered sections not other-wise disposed of, and not exceeding tenper mile on either side, as might be foundwithin that distance. This latt?r andjust construction gave the company onlyabout half the quantity of land theywould have received under the former, orsomething over a million and a half olacres, but yet more than sufficient to ac-complish the purpose of the act.

Tho statement is now made, and not d( -nied, that Secretary Delano has reversedBrowning's decision and affirmed ILirlau'soriginal swindle! The effect of this re-versal is that this Western liailroad Company will obtain Bome 3,000,000 acres ofland, among tho best in the United States,ranging in value from $2.r>0 to $20 peracre, and averaging $10 or $11 per acre,and amounting in tho aggregate sum to$3:3,000,000 or thereabout,^ build a localand comparatively unimportant road, 220miles in length. This road, leading alongthe valley of the Platte, cannot exceed inthe cost of its construction nnd equip-ment tho averago of $33,000 per mile,which would amount to some $7,500,000.Under the Construction of SecretaryBrowning, tho company would receiveabout 1,400,000 acres, which at the aver-age of $11 per acre would amount to (16,-500,000, or about $9,000,000 more thanthe requirements of the company for thoconstruction and equipment of their road.

The exposures of land stealing heroto-foro made, and the manner in which thepress had denounced this kind of job-in •i-i-y, lmil led to the supposition that tneworst bad been told. These new revela •tions will excite a fooling of surprise thatsuch brazen robbery should be continued.This opens up an interesting fiold for theInvestigating Committee, if they will on-ly work it up. Perhaps that is too muchto expect.—-Albany Araus.

Cutting: and Curing Pork.One of tho most important economics

in farm labor is the cutting and curingof pork. In tho Southern and •WesternStatus largo quantities of the sides arecut and cured a9 bacon, but further eastit is salted directly into the barrel. Afew suggestions at this time aro appro-priate.

After the hogs axo thoroughly cool,"(which will require from twelve to thir-ty-six hours, according to tho weight oftho animals,) they should be laid on theBatting block or platform, and the headtaken off with,a gharp, lQng-bladed knife,by cutting entirely around, just buck ofthe cars, and down to the bone. A littlepractice will enable the operator to ex-actly meet tho articulation where thohead is joined to tho neck. A twist ofthe head will now bring it from tho body.Next, lay tho animal on its back, and•with a saw cut directly through tho back-bone, having iirst scored to the bone fromtho tail to the neck. Now cut throughthe fat and skin and you have the hogin two portions. Then with a small, thinblade scoro under and around tho kidneyfat, and, standing .at the rear of the sidi .proceed to roll and draw out tlie leaf iuone entire piece to the tail. Next, cutout the back-bono and spare-rib, clear tothe hip-bone, by wording under andaround it with your short, thin knife,commencing at tho neck, and pulling itup as you proceed. Do not cut too closeto th" bone, since a little meat does nothurt .v/M/v-r.v. Next, proceed to cut thoshoulder, by cutting gqunre across abouttin inch back of tho shoulder-blade, andafterward trim it into shape Then corn-mono' around tho ham, begin-ning at tii ' ••': ink ; cut large enough andtrim , and take out tho bonedown to the socket of tho hips by peelingnicely to it v- ;!i a pointed knife, andtrim ;;U smooth. Separate tho shanksdiagonally und pretty near the ham andshoulder.

All the trimmings are valuable, eitherfor sausage or lard. Nothing need belost, und all ragged portions of meat lefton the cuttings are always lost in curing.Work with long, bold strokes, and dependupon practice to make you perfect. Usea saw wherever practicable, for althoughthere are no largo- bones in a hog excepttho head, yet the saw always makes cleanwork.

If intended for bacon, the sides shouldbe divided once from tho shouldor to theham, and left in two pieces; but if forsalting in the barrel, it must be dividedinto suitable pieces from the back to theflank.

Xh head is now all that is left. This•hould be laid upon its side and the knifepassed around from the articulation orjoint of tho lower jaw to tho joint in theneck bone, and cloven through with anax or cleaver. Tho eyes may now bo ta-ken out, and the snout chopped off justforward of them and thrown away. Di-vide the skull along a lino between theeyes and ears, take outjthe brain and thocarcass will be ready for salting.

Wo always prefer to dry salt hams,shoulders and bacon. The iirst operationis to rub them lightly with good salt todraw out tho blood, for which purposethey should lie about forty-eight hours.Then rub them with a mixturo of saltand molasses as hot as the hand can bearit, and of such consistency that it will notrun, mixing therewith four ounces ofpoundod saltpeter for each ten pounds ofsalt. Staek them up where they will notfreeze, and let them lie throe days, after•which they may be rubbed with clean hotsalt once or twice more, as> intervals offour or five days, according to tho size ofthe pieces. Pay, from the first salting,particular attention to tho shanks andother bony parts, since theso are the por-tions most likely to become- tainted.

In barreling pork, salt should first beliberally laid on the bottom of the barrel,and the pieces laid carefully in, tho skinnext the barrel. Pack the meat closelyso that tho re will be as few interstices aspossible. Fill all up with salt and coverthe top thoroughly and so proceed untilthe barrel is full. Use none but the bestcoarse salt for tho hams and bacon. Thismust bo crushed fine, but for the barrel itshould be used just as it comes from thebarrel or sack ; ono half bushel is consid-ered enough for a barrel of pork, but wealways use from three pecks to a bushel,since fat pork will not take up more thanit needs, and what is not taken up is fitfor use at another time. If the pork doesnot make brine enough to cover itself, soft•water should be added at the expirationof ten days to cover the pork.

When cured, the hums, ehoulders andbacon fnould be smoked with hickorysawdust or chips, or some other soundwood, a longer or shorter tiiao, aocoidlngto. the taste of the family. Above all,smoke slowly ; do not lot the fire get sohot as to make the meat drip. From sixto ten days will be- enough for hams andshoulders, but baeon should bo smokedmorii thwoMgMy.

If these directions are carefully followeda little praetico will enable one to workunderstanding^ andfaet, and the qualityof the meat will not fail to give satisfac-tion.— Western Rural.

Winter Bee's for Horses.

During the winter months horses' legsoften receive injuries from which theynever recover; these injuries are mostcommon in the country where tho roadsare not paved, and where the fall of snowis much greater than it is in tho cities.The greater part of these aro rathor theresult of carelessness OO, the part of theowners and grooms than from any naturalcauses. The disoaso, if it may be calledsuch, known as tho ' scratches " in thiscountry and the "grease " in England, ismost prevalent, particularly among farm-ers' horses; if driven through the mudand wet, and immediately alter his har-ness is oiF, is turned into the stablo andallowed to stand without having his legscleaned or dried. This causes the heel tobecome feverish and dry, and unless im-mediately cleaned the hair drops off andtho skin cracks. Onee attested thus andit requires much time to restore the logsto their former healthy state. In this, a»in any other case, an ounce of preventionis better than a pound of cure.

Careful cleaning will prevent all diffi-culty, but the use of leather boots lessensthe labor in this respect, besides protect-ing the horses' legs from injury by ice orthe hard crust on the mud or snow. Thesoboots can bo made by any harness maker,and will, if properly constructed, prove asource of profit. They should be made oflight, soft leather, and liucd with soft feltor flannel; they need net extend up morethan half way between the fetlock andthe knee, but come well down over thetop of tho hoof. They m tuire to bo wellfitted in order to keep them in their placebut must not bo tight, particularly aroundthe fetlock and below it. They fit muchbetter and aro less liable to cramp the Ifeg•whim laced than when buckled on.

Ia making up, allow tho outer edges tooverlay about an inch, sot on a welt halfan inch wide and back ono inch from theedge ; punch eyelet holes in the welt andthe other edge of the boot. If these bootsare well fitted they answer as a protec-tion to the leg from injury by the ice, andalso prevent it from being cut by thoother feet. A little practice in making•up will enable any manufacturer to pro-duce thorn at a small eost.- Jlimicss. Jous-nal.

A bill has paRsed both Houses of thoIllinois Legislature which makes a radi-cal change in regulating tho salo of li-quor in tho State. It enacts thai no in-toxicating liquor shall hereafter be soldin Illinois without a license, and no li-cense shall bo issued unless tho partyapplying therefor shall give a bond intho penal sum of $.J,000, with two free-hold sureties, conditioned that they shallpay all damages to any person, in personor property, by reason of gelling liquorunder said license, tho penalty to be re-ceived in the name of the State for theuse of any persona injured by the liquorssold by such licensed persons..
