a Had Sign.

The New York correspondent of the Ill
n0is Journal says
81 am called upon 10 record one of the
strangest phenomena of the times-a grow
ing unpopuarity OF that most popular insti-
tuition, the marriage institution. 1t is an
important fact, one full of the deepest sig
niiicancc, as well to political philosophy as
the lightcst gossip, that the number OF mar
riagcs is relatively growing less every year.
Especially is this 50 in cities, and most SO in
the metropolis. The records of the public
journals, the statements of solemniZing min
listers, and the current observations of the
hcaas of families all concur that there is u
growing disnclinatlon to marry, which,
though just apparent now, may soon become
serious matter. There have been no mar
riages of consequence IN what may be termed
"mgh lite" this season, nor anything like
the usual number among the middle classes.
Now and then we sec wedding cards, or a
BRIDE at the opera or evening parties, but
the number is astonishingly small. People
are of course marrying all the time, but who
are they? People whom nobody knows.
The everlasting poor are tying themselves
up for life rs usual.
when a man reaches that deplorablc
condition that he has not q change OF shirts
to his back, he is in q fit condition for the
sacrifice. That has always been a strong
incentive to the altar-bound, that when for
tune frowns her hardest and when things
have gone to their worst, many man detcs
fate, and takes wife. If his lot IN life i'm
proves, and it can hardly do othsrwise, he
gives the institution the credit. Ii business
circles, and in social scale, there has always
been premium on marriage. The man wLo
takes wife gives hostages to fortune, and
has bound himself more firmly to the drudg-
cry of toll. Merchants and bankers raise
the salary of n young man when he marrics,
and frequently refuse to do it Until then. 1t
is remarkable that the extraordinary natural
proncncss towards the dear SEX should not
require hindrances instead Of s!imu!ants
Yet it has passed INTO proverb that if Il
man DO not marry young, it grows less aud
less profitable to him, aud this is, perhaps
after ALL the best argument for early mar
riages. 1t perpetua!ly happens that Of all
classes who might and ought to marry they
do not, while those who ought not, do"

Charcoal for Hog Cholera.

1t is established by so much concurrent
testimony that bituminous coal is remedy
for Hog Cholera, that it can no longer be
doubted. We see many statements in agri-
cultural papers in the West to this effect.
The last Prairie Farmer, (Chicago,) contains
this statement from correspondent in Mis-
souri,:
IN the Prairie Farmcr of the 18th inst,
bituminous coal is recommepded as pre-
vcntive of hog cholera. can endorse this
from six years trial, having lost but one hog
in that time. In 1860 had nineteen hogs
intended for fall porkers, but the cholera got
among them and killed eighteen. made
use of all the remedies could hear of, until
l saw it stated by some writer, that "stone"
coal was an antiGotc for cholera. Since
then, have kept coal in their range and
have lost but one since, (whether from,
cholera or not cannot tell although hogs
have been dying with cholera all around
me; as many as hundred on one farm. |
have found coal ashes taken from CRATES,
better than unburnt coal. The small pieces
of coal and coke the hogs eat much more
freely than the entire coal it is softer and
more easily nasticated. If any one should
be induced to try the ashes, they will be
surprised to zee the quantity hogs will eat
particularly, when generously fed on grain.

The election is now over and it is
hardly worth while to attempt ref
utation of the inuumerable lies put in
circulation by the eopperhead news
papers and orators with a view of dam
aging our cause. To show, however,
what base misrepresentation were
made use of We publish the follow
ing remarks Of the Philadelphia Press
on the silly story that Congress had
ACTED twice as much bounty to negro
soldiers as to white
Let US briefly expose the inefable
sllliness of this impudent lie. Con
gress enacted that eUeTy Union soldier
IN our war who has been hOnOrably
discharged after three years faithful
1 service should receive an extra bounty
Of 500, while those likewise discharg-
/ ed after fJCO years ser vice should re-
ctive but $50 Now, the enlisting
Of blacka to put down the rebellion
was not fairly begun till 1868. and as
sumed much larger proportions IN
/ 1864 while the fighting ended In
April. 1865 OF course. most of the
]
/ so were entitled no extra bounty
while scarcely a handful of them ser
/ we'd three years, so as to eutitle them
I to 500. On the other hand, there are
/ many tens of thousands of whites who
| served through three years or over,
and another large number who served
/ over two years.-Why utter falsehOods
which every one who reads or reflects
must ER0lg to be such r
The above is clear enough, but to
/ leave no room for doubt let US bring it
/ to light II every detail
/ Soldiers of1861 (when all were white)
! received 40 bounty at first, but In 1854
/ they were asked to re-enlist, and re-
/ ceived
l. 500 bounty (by subsequent en-
actment) for their three years service.
] 2. For their additional service they
/ received $500 bounty. and from cities,
/ States, counties and b0rOughs, sums
ranging from $500 to 81, 900 as an ex-
/ ira d0Hceur. These men served until
I the end of the rebellion.
/ Soldiers of 1862 received 800 bOun-
4 ty from the Government, and, in a few
cases bounty from home.
Soldiers of 1868, white and black,
/ received 500 bounty from the Gov
/ ernmeut, and additional bounties and
/ soldiers of 1864 received $500 bounty
from the Government and additional
/ bOuDtics.
Some black soldiers received no
bounty whatever, particularly those
who had been slaves. The Jaw is to
| correct the neglect of the Government
and to equalize the status of the sol
diers of 1862 and 1868. aud the blacks
who received no bounty. Their right
to such bounty must be shown by theil

The United States Express Gompa-

no circumstances viii they have busi-
