BUTLER ON GRANT.-They say the Bot
tie Imp of Bermuda wiz address his fel-
!ow-citizens Of Cowell, on the subject of
f Grants report. Il was thought he
would publish his defense in one of the
New York papers, but it seems he has
changed his mind. He has already COM
menced his war upon the hero of the re-
bellion. He is the aulhor eff an Article
that recently appeared III one of the
Washington City parerS, and was copied
into the New York Tribune, on the sub
ject of the bill to increase the rank of
General Grant. Among other points
which the redoubtablc Benjamin makes
in this effnsion is this: That if an army
of million men, in time of war, could
have been commanded by n Lieutenant
General, why need a full General to
command fifty thousand men in n time
of peace? There ig some force on the
surface of this, but it might have been
PIT in stronger language, thus: If a
Lieutenant General was sufficient to
countoract Cen Buffers blunders, why
need full General now that Butler is
happily confined to tho shades of private
life?

The Ohio Legislature convened OH
Monday and effected au organization by
the selection of Ed. o PARROT, of Day
ton, as Speaker of the House, and Prof
II. 8. Martin, of Stark county, as Pres
ident pro TEN of the Senate. The cleri-
cal offices were bestowed upon well
known aud inevitable office seekers, to
the intense disgust of the soldier element,
frem which large delegations were pres
emit, asking positions. The soldiers are
beginning to learn that they stand no
chance of securing offices where the cum
ming and loyal stay-at-home patriots en-
ter the lists against them, notwithstand'
ing the large fuss that was made over
the "dear soldier boys" when they were

party to hire cheap band and serenade
the candidate, who therenpon makes n
emagoguing speech, expressing his sur
prise and qualification at this unexpect

is of course enthusiastically applauded
by those especially invited to perform
that part of the farce. 1t is impossible
to guess what will be the upshot of this
canvass in the bosom of the loyal family
as it seems to have been determined to
postpone the election for some weeks at

Governor Anderson issued one of the
most notable messages ever issued from
the Executive Department, in which he
takes occasion TO comment most severely
and sarcastically upon themongrelism oil
Mexico, and the tendency of his party
in this country, TO degrade the race by
the introduction of similar mongrelism
here. His passage upon the Monroe
Doctrine is the raciest commentary upon
the course of Schenk and other dema-
gosues in Congsess, who have been try
Ing to get popularity by advocating a
crusade against Mexico, that could pos
sibly have been written. For day or
two the Abolition journals were dumb
about the message-unable TO make out
the course of the party leaders; but they
have. recovered their speech, and have
opened upon Anderson their full cry, de-
nouncing and abusing him in the bitter

STEALING IN THE INDIAN BUREAU.-A
few DAYS before the adjournment of Con-
gress. a resolution was pushed through
both Houses, appropriating half mil
lion dollars for destitute Indians. The
expressed purpose is laudable one, but
l venture the suggestion that the title
of the resolution would have been more
literally true, had it contained some
thing about giving half the amount to
the persons through whose hands the
money will pass before it reaches the
destitute Indians" in the shape of corn,
beef, and clothing The truth is, the In
dian Bureau is now, and always has been,
an establishment in need of more watch
ing than it gets Somehow or other, ev-
cry man who has anything to do with it
gets rich: In one or two instances,
agents and employees have been known
to save $4,000 Il year ont of a salary of
$1,000, which is great economy, to be
sure am unable to say just where the
stealing is done: but there are men in
Congress who kno= that the assertions
contained III this paragraph can be
proven.-Udsh. Cor. Gin. Com.

tist-Girls at tschool-Musc Lessons
Till Dot had attained his eleventh year was
the only instructor my children had. 1t was, l
must confess, an Irregular education which
they acquired, but it had its use. The multiple
cation table was learned by heart before they
could read-learned as pastime and a game;
so were the pence and shilling tables. Even the
babe, who could not tell a letter, would say
'tice too TO-" tor twice two are four. | had a
powerful recollection of my early studies, and
of the time it took to get over the weary work
In this manner the children seemed to learn by
intuition both hymns and tables. An hour IN
the morning was ali the confinement to
'school" which they had, and the same time in
the afternoon, though this latter was rather de-
voted to my reading pretty stories and telling
them tales OF history; and the delight of the
little ones, as they asked if it was Gall too9D
was unbounded. / was astonished in after life
to find how much of what are termed historical
facts they had acquired.
In the summer afternoons, when it was too
hot for other pastme, as VIC cat in the cool shade
it was delightful to watch the upturned faces
with the wistful eyes and the rapt attention
greedily absorbing all the chief points of histori-
cal interest in which the child or children of the
time had any share. They never wearied of the
| story of Alfred OF Arthur, of Margaret of Aniou
| and her little son in the New Forest and of the
two murdered princes: Years after, when Dot
the Others was paying visit in the neghbor-
hood of Beaulieu Abbey, where Margaret had
once sheltered and on visiting the place. soon
| he came back. "0h mamma 1t is quite a ne
room where Margaret and her son Edward

mention this to show how viyidly incidents
whether of narration or otherwise, are painted
on child's BRAN.
Geography / taught my children almost
wholly in conversations. Three large maps
one Of the world, another OF Europe, and the
third of England and Wales-graced the walls
of the play-room, and this indeed was our school
room. / bought a geographical puzzle, the
''Tour of Europe;" and as could not Purchas,
