How to Become Independent Far.

am an old soldier, veteran OF the war OF
1912. have ever made it point, before
entering upon any enterprise, 70 sit down s'nf
count the cost, and calculate tho cbances itr
loss or gain, and, il satisfied there was money
TO be made, so ahead.
In the last war with Great Britain, our
Government off red S124 bounty,SS per
month, aud 100 acres Of land, to hose who
would enlist for five years, or during the war.
Being poor 10y and hsviDg 10 labor for
living, / volunteered 70. the war, and fought
for FREQ Trade and Sailors Rights. Ny bonn
ty, land and wages gave me quite start in
the void. pa
We are now struggling to n aintain and
support our republican institutions, and our
goveramen, is offering 1902 bounty and Sl3
per month for volunteers, and our County
Commissioners, in al probability, will offer
500 exua bounty; This will amount IN one
year TO s55s. Allowing for &5s for expen.
ses, which is all prudent man may need, and
at the expiration Of the year the volunteer will
have $500. He will be furnished all necss-
sary clothing, rations and medical attendance
by the government.
This war will not continue more tbap ono
year. At the close OF The war, let the young

The following is from the Boston Posts
New-York correspondent:
"Among tho habitues of the Public Stock
Exchange thsro 10 one person whose way OF
rapidly rolling up riches has made him a
marked man, and lifted him to q somewhat
loftier level than the great crowd OF the un- :

Staten Island boats. In this condition he spent
the eight years preceding 1861. in the early
part of The last named year lie had ssquabble
With the Commodore-or, at least, a. much OF
quarrel as cabin.boy or deck hand could
be supposed to get up between himself aud the
great ,nonopolist. He then swore eternal hat.

bilt, and vowed he would ruin the grasping
millionaire. His first epdeavor was to start
an opposition boat TO Staten Island, but find
ing fha; an uuIucky way Of speedily melting
away the Commodors's millions, he borrowed
some money and essayed wall street operations
Here he found himself in his element, and
success perched upon his banners (as tie cor
respopdence terms it). After various ups and
down she reached point where the sum ol
five thousand dollars would have bought all he
vas possessed of. Joining the Jerome clique
Of operators, bis fortunes rapidly improved, and
within year, the tickle goddess, with few
smart taps of her wand, tran.formed his impec
uno-ity into condition SO opposite, that 9
million dollars was the smallest amount named
as 1obbin's pile. He was on hand TO take
advantage of, as he did not originate, Il ost
impetuous strides which sto ks have made
since the war began, and operating, as he does
by the thousand or ivo thousand shares at .
bid, bis gains have been immsuse and almos
incredible. He is sbrswd speculator-nou'

NEW DIRK NEWSPAPER OFFICES IN TRoU-
BLR.-The compositors In the Times, Tribune,
News, Transcript and Herald offices left their
work on Friday night shortly before midnight,
and refused to help get out their respective pa
pers, because the night editors in charge
wished TO publish an advertisement which
came to them in the regular course of business.
1t seems the Times office deeming the demand
of the Printers Union for sixty cents per 1000
ems eXorbitant, sent an advertisement to the
other newspaper offices, offering to give en-
ployment to other printers for fifty cents per
1000 ems. As soon as it was known that such
an advertise ment had been received the COM
positors in the Times, Tribune, News, Tran
script and Herald, notified the editors in charge
that they would not help to set up their re-
spective papers until they were promised that
the advertisement would be rejected The
answer in each case, Of course, was, that the
compositors, while they had an undoubted
right to fix the price at which they would
work, decidedly exceeded their prerogatiyes in
saying what advertisements should or should
not 60 into the paper. If that privilege was &C
corded them they would be both editors and
publishers OF their respective journals. The
q. m y the other papers are holding out, and
indeed, they succeed in getting out at all. We
cannot but think that this most unwise and
unjust proceeding will sooner or later throw
every member of the Printers Union who
sanctioned it, out Of employment, SO far as this
city is concerned.-N. Y. World.
The papers referred to by the World all an.
peared as usual on Saturday morning, but
somewhat shorn OF their usual quantity of
reading matter.
