The contraction feature of the Honse bill comes out more, and more strongly as the returns of banks giving their reserves at various dates are ex mined at tho Treasury. The additional amount of reserve required to keep in the vaults of the banks by the House bill, in addition to the amount required by the existing laws, is now computed to be at least 835,000,000. The three Finance Committees of the House voted as follows on the Senate bill: Ways and Means, 4 for and 7 against; Appropriations, 3 for and 8 against; .Banting and Currency, 5 for and 6 against. - The leading Kepublican members of the House are talking over tho question of adjournment, and there appears to be a substantial unanimity of opinion that it will be possible to terminate the session as soon as the 1st of June without leaving any very important public business undisposed of. Probably a resolution will be introduced in a few days fixing that day as the date of the adjournment In the Senate the current view appears to be that Congress cannot get away much, before the 1st of July. More than a dozen Senators intend to make extended speeches npon the Louisiana question, and nearly everybody proposes to talk upon the transportation bilL At least a month of talk appears unavoidable before the body can be got to settle down to steady work- The Honse is in much better shape for the dispatch of business, nearly all of the measures likely to elicit much discussion being already disposed of. Anl now comes another preacher of the GospeL and a Tresby terian, Rev SamI Coon, pa8tor of the "rst Presbyterian Church, New Albany, who preached a sermon to congregation Sunday, opposing crusade on the ground that it w unchristian for women to speak k m aemblages, and that it tendency to lead to voman-a f .He claimed that the nar t kiWJ the moderate nomT.K conffre-ation demeed tho sermon as ill timed. ; 60 pm 70 am

The temperance banner wave , And men of every station Acknowledge, Uod ean save. e-anlosi r ibe lfh IaUiawa KeglOn Thursday last, the fourth an Bual re union of the veterans of the old Nineteenth Indiana Regiment, was held at Winchester. , At night, a public reception was given at City Hall by the citizens. At an early hour the hall was well filled, and on motion of Gen. Tom. Browne, Gen. A Stone was called to the chair. The General stated the objects of the meeting, when Captain A. O. Marsh came forward and delivered an eloquent and fervent welcoming address. Had we room we would like to copy the whole of Capt. M.'s address, which we find in the Winchester Journal of the 15th; and we therefore only copy his concluing remarks, which show the patri otic spirit which animated the speaker: The results accomplished by our arms, to the consummation of which you so nobly contributed, afford us abundant grounds for congratulation. : We gave to the people of the earth an example of heroism, and patriotic devotion to the country, such as the world had seldom seen. We raised four millions of human beings from the most abject and terrible slavery and placed them npon an equal footing under the law with every other citizen of this free country, and in doing this, wiped out the darkest stain that had ever blackened the fair fame of a civilized people. WTe solved the problem of free government, and showed to all the nations of the world that no Government is so strong, in peace or in war, as one in which the humblest citizen had a voice; you who are here assembled gave largely, of all you had to give, to bring about these results. The record of your devotion is written in blood upon many of the most hotly contested fields of the War, and upon the maimed and battered bodies of many of you who are here to night. You are now enjoying in some measure the reward of faithful services. Brit you have a reward which is more enduring than your lives; a reward which is to continue while time lasts. For, while liberty has an abiding place npon the earth ; while devotion to the country is esteemed, and bra very is admired so long will you possess a bright page in the nation's history, and a warm place in the hearts of her people. In conohision, on behalf of the citizens of Winchester, I bid you, comrades, a hearty, cordial welcome." , Gen. SoL Meredith responded, briefly, on behalf of the regiment, as follows : - Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Oentlem n: "I return mv sincere arul htntrr.felt thanks for the eordial reception this evening. Wo met here for the reason that one of the MimraniM of the 19th Regiment was organizeu tiers. "It that you have recognized the worth and gallantry of soma of the old nineteen in. oy giving tnem places of trust and profit in your county-. 1 am sorry that one of our comrades needed a little reinforcement, which we failed to give, recently. ' I am not here to speak of the services of the Nineteenth. We are here to exrtresa our thanWnlueec 4V. r AVX your hearty welcome this evening. . unaersiana uw uerecoiore reunions hare taken placo here in which there wa much liberality shown by yon, as citizens. 'What the old Nineteenth ha been able to do in this great work thev did eheerfnliV.

At the battiA nf n,n oellorsville. the inde nf vnnr wndid gallant service. They were in 1

a tight place, and the old 'iron bri

gade" went over, earned a name that will stand forever. , I am not prepared to make a speech, I just got up to thank you for this display of the citizens here to night. It will rekindle the old fires of 1865, when we had in our feeble way assisted to strike off the chairs of slavery. ; 'To night we can not forget the gallant men that I have seen fall around men. You are" here to night to do them honor, they and you fought the great foo together. I only speak in a brief way, as I have made no preparation, and I, don't believe in blowing our horn as soldiers." The president announced that short speeches were now in order. Calls were made for Gen. Browne, but he declined to speak. Genl Meredith came forward and an nonnced that he had taken command now. He referred to Gen. Browne's military career, and said that he recollected when Browne came to him. He (Browne) had been in the battle of Guntown and was baUy wounded. Gen. Colgrove came forward in response to repeated calls, and in a few words referred to the fact that when Indiana soldiers went to the Potomac army, they were looked down upon by the Eastern troops, and had to fight their way through both in camp and in tho field. He said that it was not long until the Indiana boys were in the lead in both places. Alter referring to some of the incidents and battle fields of the Army of the Potomac, in which both the Nineteenth and his own regiment had participated. and passing an eloquent eulogy on the American soldiers, he expressed his pleasure at meeting so many of the old Nineteenth Indiana. Gen. Stone, Cols. A. J. and H. H. Neff, and I. P. Watts were call ed for and responded in short, well timed and appropriate remarks. It was suggested that the audience would like to hear from some of the soldiers present, and in ro sponse to repeated calls, A- J. Buckles, auditor of Delaware county, who lost a leg at Gettysburg, and Frank Huff, gave a few very interesting and amusing reminiscenses of soldier life. The society, then, by resolutions, returned thanks to the citizens of Winches ter for hospitality extended and to their cornet band for music on the occasion. Before the adjournment, some one suggested that the members of the Nineteenth present, should go upon the stage and let the audience see them. General Meredith at once acted upon the suggestion. Tho ' boys'' came forward and gathered around the gallant old Colonel they lovo so well, who stood towering high above them all. They were a fine looking body of men, but tho empty sleeves and the crutches, and cne poor fellow with both arms off, told a story of war and its sufferings, that could not fail to touch eveiy heart present. Of the eighteen or nino teen hundred brave men who enlisted in this regiment, tnly two hundred and ten are known to be living, and only about seventy five of these attended the re union. They adjourned to meet in Richmond on the 14th and 15th days of September next. I-natton I.orraiwe. The Commander of tho British man-of war Niobe Lambton Lorraine arrived in New York to day. It will be remembered that it was the Commander of the Niobe who volunteered to go from Kingston to Santiago de Cuba to put a stop to the butcheries of the Yirginins prisoners. He arri ved there on the morning of the 7th of November, an hour before the time set for the execution of fifty more of the crew and passengers of that ill fated vessel. He immediately called on the Governor and declared that 'in the absence of an American man of war he would take the re sponsibility of protecting American citizens and guarding the honor of the American flag." The Ameri can people owe a debt of gratitude to this brave commander Lambton Lorraine which should be repaid by every possible act cf cour tesy to the justly distinguished sailor. Inter Ocean, April 1-i. Mr. Beecher says cf the Council that was convened to try his church, that '-it was called un Jor extraor-. dinar y circumstances which would vitiate the decision of any court on earth. It was not "packed but picked.' " He thinks that, "on the whole, the history and result of the Council constitute a practical vindication of Plymouth Church as a Congregational church. The declared purpose was to excommunicate that chureh. The fact of failure is more significant than all the explanations of it that can be offered."' - Mr. Beecher wonld seem to be quite satisfied -with the result of this attempted trial of hia church.

From the San Francisco Chronicle. Haw ts rat Corse U

' At this juncture the Coroner desired to show to the jury the course taken by the ball, and for this purpose produced the corset worn by Mrs. Burkhart at the time of the tragedy, "You see," said he and here he drew the corset around his waist with the laces in front "the ball must have gone in here from behind. No, that can't be, either, for the doctor says the ball went in in front. Confound it, Tve got it on wrong Ah! this way," fllere the Coroner put the corset on upside down.J "Now, you Bee, pointing to the hole in the garment, which rested directly over the hip, "the ball mut t have gone 'in here. No, that can't be, either, for " Hete Mr. Mather, the handsom est man on the jury, broke in. "Dr. Stillman," said he, "you've got that corset on wroncr." Here Dr. Still j man blushed like a peony. "Well," j said he, "I've been married twice, I and I ought to know how to rig a corset," "Yes," said Mr. Mather, 'but you don't. You had it right in the first place. Tho strings go in front, and the ladies clasp theui together in the back. Don't I know? I think I ought to; I've been married. If you doubt it, look here pointing to the fullness in J the topj. How do you suppose I that's going to be filled up unless you put it on as I suggest? ' "That,'' said Dr. Stillman, "why, that goes over the hips." ' No, it don't'' said Mr. Mather; "that fullness goes somewhere else this way;" and here Mr. Mather indicted . where he thought the fullness ought to go. At this a pale-faced young man with a voice like a robin, and a note book under his arm, said he thought the ladies alwayB clasp their corsets on the side. The pale faced young man said this very innocently, as it he wished to con vcy the impression that he knew nothing whatever of the matter. The jury laughed the pale faced young man to scorn, and one of them intimated that the young man was not half so green about women's dress as he tried to appear. The young man was a reporter, and it is therefore exceedingly probable that his knowledge was fully as limited as was apparent from his suggestion, the jurymen to the contrary notwithstanding. Here another jurymen discovered that Dr. Stillman had the corset on bottom side up. "Doctor,'' said he, "put it on the other way." Then the Doctor put it on in reverse order, with the laces in front. This brought the bullet holes directly over the tails of his coat. - "I don't think," said Mr. Mather, "tliat the bullet went in there, Doctor." "No, I don't think it did," was the" iVply- "Confound it, it's mighy funny six married men in this room and not one that knows how to put on a woman's corset." Here the Chronicle reporter, who had several sisters and always j kept hia eyes open, advanced and convinced Lr. Stillman and ' air. Mather, after much argument, that the lives of a corset go behind, and that the garment is closDed in front. After this explanation the course of tho bullet was readily traced, and found to bear out the explanation afforded by the two physicians One of the principal sources whence the city of Chicago draws its 6upply of peaches and small fruits is the central porton of Illi nois, of which Centralis is a prominent and important shipping point. Any causes that are liable to dimin ish tho productions of this territory will be seriously felt in tliis city and probably in St. Louis. The Centralia Sentinel has taken some pains to ascertain the prospects of me iruii crop ior me coming season, which may bo summed up as fol lows : Peach trees are in good condition and promise a better crop, compared with the whole number bearing, than usual, and it is prob able the net results of the crop will be satisfactory. The few pear trees which have escaped the blight promises welL Apples, cherries, grapes, raspberries, and blackberries promise an abundant yield. The acreage of strawberries is largely increased, and, as the autumn was favorablelto the growth of new vines, the indications for an abundant crop was never better. 1 Centralist alone will probably ship unfavorable for insects that hybernate in the soil, like curculio, codlin moth, and others, which is another indication of, a good and perfect crop of fruit We ltave the truest sympathy with and respect for : those whose active benevolence leads them : to engage in entei prises for feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and visiting the sick and impi isoned; for such distressing exigencies lie in our immediate . pathway, and must not be overlooked And yet we can not help wishing that more attention might be paid to the cause of poverty and crime, and some wise measures be invented for removing those causes. The New York Herald thinks the Americans are better made than the English in the arms and shoulders, but they beat us on loins and legs. They did, we admit it at New Orleans and a few other places.

A rfsHUirkt (Mr aad a Lerer. On last Wednesday night week t there was a rouinf meeting at Ly ceuni Hall, to which we barely alio ded last week. We find the follow ing graphic sketch by Mrs. D. M Jordan, of our city, in the InJianapo lis Herald, of April 12: "Beadle, the lively correspondent c the Cincinnati Commercial, was enlist on for a speech, and came from his reporter's dek very cheerfully. He said he couldn't think why thej ehould ask a newspaper nian to make a eiieech, as it was his business to pet it down on paper for others to read. But he was reminded of one Perkins, a reporter, who straggled into prayer meeting, thinking it was a convention. One of the aged brothers, noticing him, supposed him to be a stranger, and he wanted to "take him in." So he said, "We observe a brother in our midst who is a stranger; we wonld be

glad to have a prayer from him." Perkins was slightly astonished, but he got up and said, although it was out oi hii line he didn't object to praying a few "sticks fulL" And Beadle proved that he ean fill "eticka" as fast aaJ well in that way aa he can with his pen. He gave us many racy inci dents of his Western travel, and the different manners of alluding to drinking liquor in the Far West, In Nevada, when a man wishes to treat a friend, he says: "Well, nominate your poison. In lexas they call it tarantula juice." In Utah they say. Will you bary one of your wives?" or else, "Desiguate your family dis turbance." All of which goes to show us that we have advanced far beyond these heathens, as our men allude to the operation ns simply "taking a smile," and a ghastly smile it often proves to he. The Crusaders are not a whit less hojKjful than they were six weeks ago. They are becoming "bronzed veterans. They have born the march, the picket duty, the active service. They have been baptized in clouds of tobacco smoke, stood half-shoes deep in filthy, beer slops and tobacco juice, heard volley after volley of abuse and slang, been jostled from the pavement by howling inebriates. There is no better temperance speech that we have heard of than that beastly, cowardly, howling, swearing pack cf hounds that gathered around a little band of praying women in Dayton, Ohio, the other day. Laying aside all private convictions as to the propriety of women waging warfare so publicly against this crying evil, there can certainly be no law to prevent them from doing it if they, choose. If the noble women who have furnished the ' country its soldiers who have seen, perhaps, the best and brightest go down in the sol emn ranks of the dead who died to uiaintaiu our liberty and freedom desire to do what they can toward staying a worso cnemr than ever Lee's army in its best days could have beeu they have the right to work in any way they choose. . One of the ministers in attendance at the Whitewater Presbytery, then in session iu our city, made the following eloquent allusion to the praying movement of the woman, in abolishing drunkard manufactories:- . "Two thousand years ago a wise philosopher said, 'Give me a lever long enough, and a place to put my fulcrum, and I will move the world !' Time lias gone on, and Archimedes ia dead; but the lever and fulcrum have not been found, end philosophers seem to have concluded that man cannot move the world. There has grown up in our midst a gigantic evil, so widespread so permeating every class and grade of society that it seems almost a world in its immensity. - For scores of years, moral philosophers have nought the lever that would move this evil from our midst. .The Washingtonian lever was tried, but it snapped like a reed in tlieir hands. The Maine law failed to do the work ; the Sons of Temperance, and the Good Templars have failed ; au J our Baxter law, if it had not broke, was at least bending and cracking under the load. But woman has found the LEVJea 1 She has placed the fulcrum in the saloon door and extended tho long lever away up to the hand that moves the universe, AND the evil moves ! And by the grace of Almighty God, this lever of prayer wit L move it out of our land." . 3Iiss Charlotte Cushman has written a letter to a New York dramatic critic, declining to give a performance for charitable purposes. She thinks that too much is expected from the profession in the way of charity, and that artist are continually being called upon to contribute to all sorts of things, to an extent often beyond their means. She gives $2,000 a year herself to the poor and needy, and she thinks she does enoughs. Miss Cushman's letter is generally indorsed by the New York press. The Boston' Transcript describes Mr. A . T. Stewart's box at Niblo's Garden as rivaling in style and finish ; the box of any erowned head in Europe. It has four rooms, a large parlor, dressing room, and box. They are all richly carpeted and curtained, find adorned with elegant mirrors and chandeliers. A. dance can be. indulged in between the acts, and a sup-" per may be served from the Metropolitan IIoteL An old theatergoer might, perhaps, be tempted to inquire in reference to all this richness, Cat bono?

CatfMisasl-Iaiilus Bill. On the 13th, in the United States

Senate, Mr. Carpenter asked that his Louisiana bill be made the special order for to-morrow after the expiration of the morning hour. Mr. Sherman said he was opposed to taking up the bill, and hoped the sense of the Senate would be taken as to whether it should be considered or not. He thought the Senate should devote its lime to other matters of more importance. Mr. Carpenter said the Senator from New Jersey (Frelinghuysen) was prepared to speak on the bill, and it should be taken up. However, if m majority of the Senate determined to btand by the Kellogg government, right or wrong, he admitted that it would be bad policy to have any debate on the subject. The Senator from Ohio Sherman) had come here with several financial conundrums which had occupied the St nate four mouths. The Senate would have been astonished if some Senator had expressed a desire to dispose of the measures without debate. Mr. Sherman said there were many bills on the calendar, and he was opposed to laying aside practical legisla1: i .I.:- 111 1. 1.1 .! Itiou lo laae up iuiij ini. 11 hubiu uu the people of Louisiana no good, and I he would, therefore, insist uiou con sideration of matters of more import ance. Mr. Carpenter said it was a matter of imiortanee when a State had been usurped and its government hold by usurpers under decree of a Federal court. He was astonished at the indifference manifested by the Senators on this subject. If the Republican party to-day refuses to interfere when its usurpers hold a State by the throat, it could not interfere in any similar case when the usurpers might be Democrats. He was in New Orleans last May, when there was great excitement there, and in a public speech he pledged himself to the people that if they would stop violence and sabmit to the Kellogg government, he would do what he could to present their case to Congress. They had kept their part of the contract, and he proposed to keep his, Mr. Sherman said no one would deny that the Senator (Carpenter) had kept his pledge already. He (Sherman) believed that a large majority of the people of Louisiana had acquiesced in the condition of affairs in that State, ;ind it was wise in them to do so. They would have an om-ortuuity next tall to redeem their government, and Congress had tetter attend to its leritiniate business, leaving Louisiana matters to right themselves. Any action by Congress would only derange matters and make them worse, Mr. Carpenter said the acquiescence of the people was their submission to the authorities of the United States. Troops were now there, and in case of an attempt by the people to overthrow the Kellogg government those troops would be put into action. Under the act of the Kellogg Legislature, iu regard to holding elections, he (Kellogg) would carry the State to-morrcw by 20.tXK or 30,000 majority. Mr. Mortou said that act had been repealed. '-' ' Mr. Carpciater said he was not aware of that fact. . ; r. Mr. West Well, the gentleman is not aware of what is going on. Mr. Morton said he had a dispatch from Governor Kellogg announcing the repeal of tho act. Mr. Carpenter replied that he was glad to hear it. It was one step toward decency. : Mr. Morton said one of the thief disturbing elements in Louisiana at present was the fact that this bill of Mr. Carpenrer'H was penling in the Senate. He believed that a great majority of the people of Louisiana acquiesced in the Kellogg government. Not only Republicans but the best part of the Democratic party were opposed to any action by Congress to set that government aside. Should tho bill be taken up, he would avail himself of the opportunity to show that what had beeu dwne ly tho Kellosg Legislature had been to the benefit of the State. It was a heneSccnt Legislature, and Louisiana now, in all her industries and eterfvrises, was rapidly reviving. No greater disaster could happen to the State than for Congress to interlere and upset the whole State government. Mr. Saulsbury said he was surprised at the statements mada upon this floor about the acquiescence of the people of . Louisiaua iu the Kellogg government. It was known to every Senator here, that if the Federal troops be withdraws the Kellogg government would be banished out of existence in less than a month. Tt people of that Stat had "appealed to the :Pres.ident of the United States and had beea turned away. Were they now to be turned away from the halls of Congress ? There were Senators upon this floor who were not disposed to let this matter elecp, but have this iniquity exposed. The iniquity in this Louisiana affair was so great that if they should keep silent, the very stones would cry out. Mr. Carpenter said he did not think the repudiation of debt by the Kellogg Legislature was a beneficent measure. Mr. West said he had no desire at the present time to intrude debate on the Louisiana question upon the Senate, but some remarks made required refutation from hini. The Senator from Wisconsin had said the repudiation of debt was not benificeat legislation. He (West) desired to say that that legislation was icade at the suggestion of the Deaaocratic party of the State. When the State should be committed to the Democratic party, bonds might as well be put iu the waste basket. The people sow beseeching Congress for a new election in Louisiana are disappointed officeseekers and men who have countenanced murder and assassination. He would not attenpt to put the bill ou the table now, but would show when the time eamc that the Kellogg government wa3 the legal government of the State, and that the people there were quietly pursuing their vocations.

The St. Louis Democrat, in an able editorial, thus sums up the duties of the Granges., which buld the balance of power in the West "The times must be sadly out of joint it we are to judge by the organisations constantly springing into existence with the avowed purpose of ameliorating the conditiou of society. The Granges have for a longtime been occupying a large share ot public attention. They have gone into all tho States. They have in some been supposed to hold absolute political supremacy. - The roll of membership runs up into millions, it is claimed, and still they press on and work for recruits. We arc not familiar with all the objects sought to be accomplished by the Grange. : But so far as we do understand them, we find nothing that auy one can justly condeuiu at least so far as the priuciple is concerned. We believe their primary object was and is to liberate internal commerce from the exacting tolls of carriers. Farmers, especially in the West, find that it costs so much money to get their products to the seaboard that they got no profit on their labor. Re they ever so industrious and economical, they arc nevertheless kept poor, and they are discouraged at the prospect of spending all their jives in labor and never getting ahead in the world. . . "This is a hardship, and if the fanners can remedj tho evil they ought by all means to do so. They thought, at I he start that it would bo au easy matter that their grief came of railroad monopoly, and that the only thing needed was legislationcompelling railroads to work at established rates of Jreight, uniform and low enough to lighten tho burden of transportation. I5ut tho combined wisdom ot Grangers, Legislators and railroad men, working together in ' good faith has evolved nothing yet that solves the dittict Ity. Railroads as now built and operated will never he able to carry Western wheat and corn to the seaboard at prices much, if any, below the average that has hitherto prevailed. The Grange movement will have accomplished a vast good by establishing this fact. It will rid their winds of the idea that railroads are always robbing them and . this will remove a great deal of dissatisfaction and ill-feeling from the public mind. It will bring about relations between the railroads and the leoiJe they serve. "But the settlement of this vexed question will do more; it will satisfy, the minds of the producing men on another vital point: that water carriage is the only cheap carriage they will ever have in the West, and that tho . improvement of the Mississippiriver and its. tributaries, sad especial' ly the otablishiuent of a deep outlet , to the ocean, arc tho measures on which they should concentrate all their future efforts. If the Granges intend to push their claim to deliver-" ance from high. IrcighU to an early conclusion, they had as well ceaso their pressure on Congress in behalf of tho bill introduced and so ably and successfully championed by Mr. McCrary. If it should pass the Senate, which is highly improbable, it will lead to bo practical relief. It will cause the establishment ot a commission, that after a year or two's expen-i sive existence will establish just such a tariff of rates as the experienced . railroad officers tell thcra is the minimum (hey can work for. 4 That will 5 be about present lates and so will end the intervention of Congress iu 3 the carrying business. Let the Granges, instead of beating about the buh two or three years longer, hoping to get what is really impossible cheap railroad carriage eo to work on their Congressmen in behalf of the i-erini-'-nent opening of the mouth of tho Mississippi river and the clearing of its tributaries of all obstructions to navigation. "There is uo constitutional difficulties in the way.and the work when accomplished will sc-ure for all time cheap transportation, direct trnde with Kurope, and a deliverance from the delays, tolls, commissions, transfers, Storages and ext.irtioDS of the seaboard cities, that Lave grown rich aad great through handling, selling and shipping the products of the toil and sweat of Western farmers, and having thus grown rich, use all their wealth and political power to intimidate Consrrens and the President, and defeat public measures that tke Western States have deepest iutcrest in. "The West by it labor, heavily taxed in the transfer of its products to the Last, and taxed again in buying ' all the articles of , home .consumption in the iee Kastfcru mark eU?, baa built up the great wealth of the eitiea of the seaboard. Like Jcsbrum, those cities "have waxed fat" and are now kicking the West, awl taunting it with ignorance, dishonesty and poverty. There is an easy mode cf deliverance for the West- The Grange will find it if they heaTtily desire tho relief they have bee calling for. They can by co-operation, in which the South in a body will aid them, compel the opening of the mouth of the Mississippi river by the Government, When that is done, they ean ; have their grain delivered iu Liverpool a cheaply as it is in the average of years delivered in New York; and return freiehts, of -whatever foreign goods the Western population want, ean be had to St- Louis at a saving correspondingly as gje&t. j I ,r "We submit these suggestions to the Western men who have entered into the tiranse movement, as to intelUgeat meo seeking to do a laudable work, and dasiring earnestly to find the trite way ot reaching tke ouect they aim at. It will shortea labor, save expense, aad hastes the fruition, of their hopes to go to work the right war and in that work they shall Have our hearty co-operation." - - An exchange truly says: It eosta l?4s than a cent a day to take your weekly paper less than a dilhgent hen could earn is a year at the market price of eggs; less than one cigar a week ' and a very cheap one" at "that; less than the barber could eharge by the year to keep one's hair trimmed; , less thaa a good sited thanksgiving tar key; less than a seat ene night at the opera; less :. than an energetic kitchen girl will waste in a week.
