‘ SOLDIER'S BOUNTY.. A Synopsis of the Bounty um.%;% $lOO bounty is paid to all soldiers, honorablydischarged, who enlisted between May 3d and July 22d, 1861, for three years, and who were muste ~ in before August 6, 1861.

G b $3OO bounty is paid to all recruits | (three years’ men) in old regiments letween September-23, 1863, and Apii 1, 1864, AR R G vP " ‘ - $4OO bonnty lis paid to all veteérans: (or heirs) who were mustered ous or discharged for wounds, rupture, or injury (not disease.) € ] All men who enlisted under general order N0..191, if recruits, were entitled to $402; such soldiers as had ren--dered nine months’ previous service in the army or navy, $402. Some men were entitled to $402 and received $302, for the want of being mustered as veterans, and such are now entitled to another $lOO. All soldiers enlisting for the largebounty, who were discharged short of their full term of seryice, for any kind' of wound or injury—even for hernia, rupture, -or accidental injuries —or’ who were discharged on Telegraph order of May 4th, 1865, from the surgeon general’s office, or eircular from the war department of May 4th, 1865, and failed to get all the installments of bounty, or the entire balance of the $302, or the $402, can now -recover the balance of the bounty; or, if the soldiers has died since leaving the service the heirs, In the order named, can now draw the arrears of the large: bounty. ; And all soldiers who served at any time in the early part of the war nine months or more, and were honorably

The bounty act of July 28, 1866,having been extended, there are many who are yet entitled to bounty.

" GRAVEL ROADS., o - Their Importance to the Farmers., - [Bloomington Courier.] ‘ The mud blockade continues, to the great disadvantage of all kinds of business, and in nearly every county throughout the West the people are discussing the ways and means of improving their commen roads by macadamizing or graveling them. , - The savings and venefits to be derived from such roads far more than repay their cost. They are’indispensable to:a steady current of retail trade in the towns. They enable the farmer to market all he has to sell at any time of the year and in all kinds of weather, hauling with a single span of horses what would be a load for two or three spans on unimproved roads in their best possible condition. They attract capital to rural homes and rural avocations. Counties well improved with good firm roads soon fill up with elegant country houses, such as are rarely found on mud roads, and the economy, the conveniences and the pleasures of country life are s 0 much enhanced by turn-pikes that the increased value of the lands in a county so improved always greatly exceeds the cost of constructing and maintaining the roads. :

Christianity is not a conversion to cerfain doctrines and dogmas, but a conversion to a certdin mode of living, in and of itself invigorating, inspiring, gentle, loving, pure, hopeful—to a life which puts in'a man a heart to forgive and forget, to lift up the fallen, relieve the suffering, and the religion that creates in man a heart that produces such a life, is Christianity, and that man is a Christian. The religion that makes home beautiful, she father kind, the mother thought ful, children obedient, man just te his fellow man .and true to his own convictions, is. the religien the world wants, and for which men and women are ;dying. That will create a millenium in every household,and the dawn of a thousand years in every heart, and from the fruit projecting from the avenues of affection, conversation, benevolence, humanity, etc., do we judge the Chrislianity in man, and the man in Christianity.

Once upon a time, Hosea Ballou _and Lyman Beecher met to compare Calvinism and Universalism. Both were Bible men, and each came armed with textual missiles. After several apostolic blows from each shrewdly parried by the.other, Dr. Beecher opened to the ninth Psalm, and read: “The wicked shall be turned into hell. and all the nations that forget God.” “There, sir, the wicked are in hell; get them out if you can.” Mr. Ballou, calm as a summer morning, pointing to the 20th° chapter of John’s revelation, read: “Death and hell delivered’ up the dead which were in them.”— “There,” said Father Ballou, “they are out; get them in again if you can.”

Why' let prejudice stand in the way of your better judgment, when with a few doses of Dr. Smith’s Cough Syrup, you can stop the hacking cough, heal the irritated throat -and bronchial tubes,—in short, put yourself in good health again? Remember, you can return the bottle, and get your money, if you are not fully satisfied it has done you aservice. Sold by druggists at 50 cents, Four bottles sent by ex: press prepaid for $2. Dr. B.

Then I'll broil you ashingle hereafter every morning instead of a beefsteak!” =

- . Myths are but Symbols of Truth. - _As the scholar sees in the vain but beautiful mythologies of the-ancients the embodied expressions of the hungry human soul, blindly groping after the infinite, so the physician sees in that pepular myth of the sixteenth century ‘the fountain of perpetual health-and youth--an expression of rthe longings of suffering humanity for a remedy thatishould forever prevent the incursion of disease. The .wilds of Europe were ransacked for this wonderful fountain, and Ponce de Leon sought for it in the cypressswamps and tangled everglades of our sunny Florida. Men have searched for it everywhere and anywhere but where it really is—in the human body itself. The blood is the real fountain of perpetual health and youth.: When this source is corrupted, the painful and sorrow-producing effects are visi‘ble in many shapes. The multifarjous forms in which it manifests it-

'self would form subjects upon which %I;;}mi{zht write volumes. But as all the varied forms of disease which deénd upon bad bloed are cured, or ‘best-ireated, by such medicines as take up from\‘tmf fluid and excrete from the system the noxious elements, it js not of practical importance that I should describe each. For instance, medical authors describe about fifty varieties of skin disease, but as they all require for their cure very similar treatment, it is of no practical utility to know just what name to apply to a ‘certain form of skin disease, so you know how best to cure it. Then again, I might go on and describe various kinds of scrofulous sores, fever sores, white sweliings, enlarged glands; and ulcers of varying appearance; might deseribe how virulent poison may show itself in various forms of eruptions, ulcers, sore throat, bony tumors, etc.; but as all these variousappearing manifestations of bad blood are cured by a uniform means, I deem such a course “unnecessary. Thoroughly cleanse the blood; which is the great fountain of life, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength, and soundness of constitution, will all return to us. For this purpose Dr. Pierce’s Golden "Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets are pre-eminently the articles needed.— They are warranted to cure tetter, saltrheum, scald head, St. Anthony’s fire, rose rash or erysipelas, ringworms, pimples, blotches, spots, eruptions, pustules, boils, carbuncles, sore eyes, rough skin, securf, scrofulous 'sores and swellings, fever sores, white swellings, tumors, old sores or swellings, affections of the skin, throat and bones, and ulcers of theliver, stomach, ' kidneys, and lungs.

. Franking Privilege. : (Cincinnati En,quirer. ) Whenever the franking privilege arises’ in Congress there are many members who are afraid to vote for it, while convinced that its -bestowal is just. They fear the wrath of their: constituents. They are in terror of the people at home. To vote for the franking privilege has become “unpopular,” the Congressmen believe, and with'some ground. It should be. remembered, however, that it is the people rather than the members of Con.gress who are benefited by the franking privilege. It is subject to abuse, and no privilege or law is not. It becomes connected with the salary-grab shibboleth, and the howl about the increase of salaries. But no part of the odium that attached to that matter legitimately belongs to the popular animosity, to the proper exercise of the franking privilege. It is the people ‘who receive the postal matter franked, and not the senders, who are the obliged parties. Very many of the public documents that are printed are of the highest value to the peonle. The rich can buy them at the book stores.. The people in cities can consult them at thelibraries. Thesalaries of the members of Congress are not such that they can afford to pay the postage on as much valuable information as they would be glad to send or as many of their constituents would be glad to receive. ' The poorer people can not af--ford to pay the postage, even, on the documents they wish. They are irterested in the conduet of their Gavernment, and the rural and moneyless people are specially interested in the maintenance of the franking privilege, which will place within their reach complete information as to how it is conducted. A single report will in‘struct a whole neighborhood. Every editor knows the stacks of questions he recerves about.these public matters, and every member of Congress knows that even under the fullest use of the franking privilege he can not meet the “earnest request for these various forms of public information. - Under pro_per restrictions - and limitation, the franking privilege is not the people’s enemy, but the people’s friend.

' TR SR , ‘Short Sermons, : - Methodist Recorder.] ; - The popular clamor for short sermonsis kept up by a restless class of -young persons who are smartfer than their parents and pastors. They get fidgety if a sermon reaches beyond 15 or-20 minutes. And yet these same goslings of both genders when they come together in a social party or meet in the|parlor, will waste solid hours in the stupidest common places. Their talk dpes not rise'to the dignity of conversation. It is twaddle. It is nonsense from first to last; itis worse than waste of time, of life, of everything. But these gigglers from the green goose pastures presume to know how long a minister should preach! And here and there the kind souled pastors accommodate their se¢rmons to the gosling taste. Let the pulpit ‘have the jime to discuss the topics it undertakes; and let the discussion be so fresh, vigorous and attractive us to -arrest attention from all who have “heart and brain to understand. For ‘a goose in the pulpit is worse than a gosling in the pew. . :

I ;% Warming Towns. = - e (Peeris Call,) - . ./ The theory which has frequently ‘been before the public of late years, and which relates to an important question of domestic economy, has .apparently been solved by 'Hoily, of Lockport, N. Y., who is the inventor 'pg;he direct pressure system of water works, such as we have in Peoria. "According toa Lockport paper a large sehool building, the largest hall in the town, with other rooms in the same building, and forty large dwellings, are all heated by steam made in a single boiler five feet by sixteen in size, and besides this,’ two steam engines, one of them more than half-a mile from the boiler-hauss, are run by steam from the sameé boiler. = About three miles of street mains have been laid extending through fifteen streets and supplied with steam at a pressure of thirty pounds to the inch. The total space warmed by this single boiler is more than one million-of cubic feet. The criginator of this system claims to have proved that a district of four squarée miles can be “economically warmed from one central point. The company lay the pipes in the sfreets and’ collect from their customers the expense of laying the service pipes from the curbstene. The style and expense of the radiators in the house is determined by taste or means of the householders. The steam supplied by this company may be put to the following practical uses: “The warmingof dwelling houses ; the cooking of food, the washing and drying of clothes, the running of steam en-' gines, and the extinguishing of fires. Both pure dry steam for heating purposes, and hot water from condensed steam for laundry purposes, are deliveredin every dwelling. The apparatus in each dwelling is under ready and perfect control. The condensed steam f urgxhes to each house an ,abundant supphy of pure and soft water.” - The cost of heating buildings in this manner, is not given, but it i§ probably much less than the ordinary expense. The fuel, being used in large quantities, can be bought at wholesale prices, and being used at one central point there must be a saving of transportation, while the saving in manual labor in the, care of fires must be very great. .

" Going West. [ [Selinsgrove (Pa.) . '

There was a lively time at ‘Adamsburg station on Tuesday, sth inst., when and where about 60 or 70 men, women and children took passage on the Sunbury & Lewistown railroad for Kansas. From 75 to 100 trunks, baskets and other kinds of baggage were put on board; and, altogether, the scene was one the like of which was never before witnessed in Adamsburg; It created no little commotion, not less than perhaps 300 people being present to bid adieu to their friends and wish them a safe journey and happiness and fortune in their new homes in the great West. Many of these have gone hence to return no more forever. They have seen and spoken to the friends they left behind thé last time. Few of them may at long intervals return to view their. native heath, to see once more before they are gathered with their fathers, the dearest spot on earth, their childhood’s home, only to find it changed beyond their recognition and in possession of the stranger. The scenes of youth with all their charms will then only exist in the memory,

Sherman’s Skullduggery. - There can be no doubt but that John. Sherman is trying his best to hide the 81 and $2 bills, so that the $5 bill will be the: smallest bill in circulation. This isone of his steps toward resumption, and he expects that the people will soon get tired of silver, and that gold coins will commence to come into general circulation. He anticipates that coins and paper will soon. come together, and has plans at work whereby he can utilize the legal-tender notes to help in the work of resumption. The danger that the Senate will break*®up the resumption scheme by passing the House Repeal Bill haunts him. The fact that silver has been made available for customs dues, and the interest and principal c¢f the public debt, makes it so that the Secretary will utilize the legal tenders for many purposes, and the next part of the programme is to retire them, or make them so valuable that they will not come in for resumption, and resumption will be made easy. :

The Treasury Investigation. - [Washington Special.] - -

Senator Davis, ‘'of West Virginia, Chairman of the Senate Committee to investigate the charges preferred by him last year that there are enormous discrepancies in the Treasury books, assured a correspondent a few days ago that the investigation had already progressed far-enough to, prove that his charges were more than sustained by the facts. “Itisslow work,” said the Senator, *‘but every ‘additional bit of light shows that there are greater discrepancies than were.charged.”. Of the system of investigation he said: “We are examining ecarefully every voucher and every account since 1860. We assume that the statement of the public debt -in 1860 was correet. It was then in the neighborhood of sixty millions. 'We propose to sum up all receipts and expenditures since then, as shown by the books and ‘vouchers in the Treasury Department. In this way we shall- show what the debt ought to be now if the Treasury books have been xept correctly. If, as certainly will be the case, the debt is found to be vastly greater-than the Treasury accounts show it ought to be, it will be for them to explain what has become of the money. .We shall: show that during Boutwell’s stewardship a foreed ‘balance was make by a certain officer, and that he made it in accordance with written orders. . It will then be for some one to explain why that order was issued.” =ln answer tod question as to his' epinion how the discrepancy occurred, Senator Davis said he believed that it mostly occurred during the war; that oneand another were allowed to get money from the Treasury improperly ; that it was faken by dishonest officials, both in and outside the Department, and that those people (referring to the Republicans) finally deemed it necessary to cover up the aggregate result of these numerous defalcations, and as the easiest way of doing it decided to make a forced balance on the books, ' . .

. We are All Silver Men Now. - P (New York World.) "~ | The Secretary of State has just proclaimed the voice of the land eoncerning silver in a solemn and official manner to all foreign princes, powers and potentates. He even makes the startling assertion that the President intended in his annual message to say that he was “in favor of maintaining “gilver as one of the two precious me“tals which furnish the coinage of the “world, and of keeping up to as full a “ measure as possible the volume. of “the two. precious metals as our in- “ trinsic money.” If the Presidentintended to say this it is a pity he did not say it. How is the ecountry ever to be sure of the intentions of a President who does not say whathe intends to say.on important occasions? But with these intentions in the White House, and, the national legislature declaring its desire to elevate silver to. the rank it held in 1792,” why should this new silver bullion certificate legislation be resisted if the gold bullion certificate law of 1863 is to stand? .

. Better Times at Hand. @ . The Chicago Inter-Ocean takes a rose colored view of the situation in these words: =~ : :

- 'The passage of the silver bill'fs a financial rainbow set in the monetary ‘heavens, betokening that the 'disastrous storm hasspent itself. The hoard. ed maillions which have been hid dur- | ing the deluge of distress will see the sign and venture forth again. Confidence, which has been soo long narrowed and imprisoned, will gain full liberty, and, with lessons of discretion to guide it, will once more walk abroad. ‘We do not expect an instantaneous change from hard times to good, but the day-break has come and the .sunrise will follow. Of one thing all may be assured, and that is, that leg: islation in the interest of capital alone has ceased. Whatever else may come through agitation the tendency will not be in- that direction, and.this apparent fact will have its effect in increasing the desire for profitable investment, and decreasing. the greed for money alone which has so long paralyized trade. Wise men, with money in their hands to-day, will do well to look about, especially in Chicago, for a place to put it. We are on the threshold of prosperous times, and they have come to stay for atleasta decade.

" Upon which the Daviess County Democrat comments as follows:

It is not well to expect too muéh. There will be no sudden revolution. Depressed industries can not; spring into their former proportions of their own accord or by the passage of a single bill through Congress. But we considergit perfectly safe to look for an imm&ii@te, though not a great improvement in trade. We have been going down hill so long that we ought to be satisfied if the descent has ceased and we have commenced moving back again. The start up hill was what was needed, ‘and the silver law - will do that forus. . Our progress may be -slow, but it will be sure. The silver law will directly increase -the amount of méney to carry on enterprises. - The addition of $4,000,000 per month to the volume of ready: money will, in spite of all opposition, give an Impetus to trade. Indirectly the effect will be greater still. There will be re-» newed activity in the mines; and more men. will find employment. Money will becoine less dear, and other forms - of preperty mere valuable. - Confidence will be restored, and capital will again seek investment. Of this much ‘there is every reason to feel confident.

Temperance Triple League. ‘(Crawfordsville Journal) Dr. Russell evidently thinks a ‘man never gets too old to do :good,-at least heis not, and upon that conviction has started out. with a view to elevate ‘'society. For about 50 years he has been using tobacco, and that the ?est days of his life have been spent in this filthy practice, and that the money spent by him for this narcotic ‘weed amounts to several thousand dollars —enough to have paid for a good farm. He 1s now using all his influence against the use of the weed.. The following pledge is original with himself and he is presenting it for signatures with good results. Some of the persons who signed it have been addicted to the use of tobacco for many years. About 50 names appear on the list to date: ! Gl

“TEMPERANCE TRIPLE. LEAGUE.— ‘We, whose names are, hereunto appended, do voluntarily agree to abstain from the use of tobacco, from strong drink and profane swearing. Believing as we do that an organization of this kind will ultimate in great good, we propose that said organization be styled the ‘Temperance Triplé League, and we cordially invite our friends to join us in the proposed moyement.” ' It will be seen that temperance and morality are embodied in the pledge. This pledge is not calculated to interfere with the recent Murphy temperance meetings, but to raise if possible a step higher in the scale.of eitizen-ship-those who may choose to sign it.
