Flowers

Flowers are the silent yet eloquent
teachers of innocence, and their preaching
has worked good in many places. Woven
into poetry, into religion, and into art,
illustrating the most attractive morality of
the Bible, and being in themselves most
beautiful, they are likely to be the cause
of moral beauty where their influence is
permitted. OF all things We would urge
an exhibition similar to that which we be

pers say an opinion prevails that the army
equalization bill, which passed Congress
on the last night of the session, will cost
the Government several hundred millions
of dollars. 1t is proper to say this opinion
is based upon the bill first introduced in
the Senate by Mr.. Wilson, which would
have cost from 200 to 250 million. The
bill finally adopted is compromise be>
tween the above bill and the one introdu.
ced into the House by Mr.. Schenck. The
former provided for the payment of 500
per year to soldiers who had served three
years with Government bounty of not
more than 500, the bounty to be deduct
ed from the amount thus to be paid them.
The latter provided for the deduction of
local instead of Government bounties. The
bill passed is estimated to cost seventv>five
or eighty millions-quite enough, but not
so much as stated by Mr. Fessenden. The
Paymaster General says it will take three
years to examine the accounts of the SOL
diers to whom this extra bounty is due
The amount paid each year will therefore
be about S25, 100000 The clause in the
new bounty bill awarding to two wears
soldiers who have received bounty of
$50 more is imperative. as there i. no such

frame The bottom Of the cylinder is n
loose piece of galvenized iron, and above
it the cylinder is suspended in bowl of

\ political body, styling itself the Con-
vention of 1864, met on the 30th, fer, as il
is alleged, the purpose of remodeling the

llonary men, and the action of the Conycn-
ton was liable to produce breaches Of the

arrest the head men. II the prOcea iings OF
the Convention were calculated to disturb
the tranquility Of the Department; but

blacks were killed, and about ore hundred
and sixty wounded. Everything is now

gentleman of Buffalo, who met him in the

conceded to them we should soon have
another rebellion" Gen. Grant is nj
