$500. n. Admitted.

Tbsv sav that one of the first acts of
thu new Congress will be to admit Col
GRADE as a State of the Union. The only
object is to get two moro Republican
Senators into a body in which the Re-
publican majority is already too large
for the good of the country. Colorado
has not population of Gwenty thou
sand, exclusive Of buffaloes and grass
hoppers, and its topography is such that
1t never can sustain population to en-
title it to admission on terms fair and
equal to the other States. Wade and
Sherman are both champions of the
new State"-but fortunately Wade will
not be in the Senate after the 4th Of
March to rob his own constituents of
their power in the Senate by putting
them on q par with the wildcat inhab-
itants of Colorado. As to the personnel
of the Senate, don't think the addi-
ton of two scrubs will hurt it much.
That body is very much in the condl-
ton of a gentleman who once said to
me that he "didn't care how much the
papers pitched into him." and explained
the cause of his Indifference by adding /:
"Pm down so id low now that they
can't hurt nae, and if they move me at
all they must elevate me-" It's very
hard to injure the Intellectual or moral
status of body in which Ben Wade is
presiding officer, to which Stewart, OF
Nevada, is chief expounder of the Con-
stitution, where Simon Cameron moves
for committees of investigation, where
Harlan, of Iowa, represents the reli.
gious element, and where Drake, OF
Missouri, tell people what loyalty con-
sists ef-a body which less than twenty
years have transferred from the nations
pride to the Nations humiliation-which
once was the glory bat now is the shame

The Invention OF Liihography.

The impatience of n German washer
woman led to the invention of lIthog-
raphy. The history of that elegant art
begins with homely domestic scene,
which occurred at Munich about the
year 1893, and in which three characters
fisured-Madame Senefelder, the poor
Gently deceased; her son, Alois Senefel-
der, aged twenty-five, young man OF
an inventive turn; and the impatient
washerwoman just mentioned. The
washerwoman had called at the house
of this widow for the weekly "wash;
but the "list" was not ready, and the
widow asked her son to take it. He
looked about the room for piece OF
paper upon which to write it, without
being able to find the least fragment,
and he noticed also that his ink was
dry. Washerwomen are not apt to be
overawed by such customers, and this
one certainly did not conceal her impa-
thence while the fruitless search was
proceeding. The young man had in the
apartment q smooth, soft, cream COL
ored stone, such as photographers now
use. He had also mass of paste made
of lampblack, wax, soap and water. In
the hurry of the moment, he dashed
upon the soft, smooth stone the short
list of garments, using for the purpose
this awkward lump of oily paste. The
washerwoman went off with her small
bundle of clothes, peace was restored to
the family, and the writing on the stone
remained.-James Parton, in atlantic

The Indians-How 20 spend Forty
Million Dollars n Year-Remarks o.
Delegate Rurieigh in the House OF
Representatives.
am informed that there are now
two deficiency appropriations asked Tor
-one of $500, 900 for feeding and taking
care of some twelve thousand Indians
for eight months, under the charge OF
General Harvey, in the Sioux district;
the other for Sl3, 100000 for carrying on
the present Indian war in the South
west for the last six months against q
much smaller number of Indians. L
have learned to-day that there are now
engaged in the Indian country and on
our Western frontiers about forty
regiments of troops, including one
regiment of cavalry raised in the
State of Kansas, which has been
in service since last October.
The expenses to the government in
carving on this war will exceed S4O,-
600, 900 If allowed to continue. Instead
of protecting the inhabitants of the
frontier, they increase their danger;
more than two hundred and Fifty hav-
ing been murdered within tho past few
months. | do not wish to be under
stood as imputing to the War Depart
ment either dishonesty or extravaganza.
1t is the policy alone that l object to.
War is at all times costly, especially
when carried on as this is in country
SO remote from the source of supplies
that the expense of transportation
doubles, trebles, and sometimes quad
ruples the original cost. But
two methods for the adjustment of these
difficulties are now thought of. That
proposed aud so successfully inaugu-
rated by the Peace Commission CON-
mends itself to the favorable consid-
Grafton of the Christian statesman, the
philanthropist and the true economist.
BY its adoption the Indians will wit
ness our returning good faith and re-
ioice; they will abandon the war-path,
and settle down upon their reservations;
peace and safety will reign unintorupt-
eddy throughout our entire territorial
domains; hope will once more be lighted
in the red mans heart, and the spirit OF
his brave progenitors will again elevate
his depressed nature. On the contrary,
if war, murder. robbery and rapine are
to be persisted in, and the policy of ex-
termination, or subjugation, even, is to
be carried out, our frontiers are doomed
to fresh baptism OF fire and blood I'M
paralleled in the history of Indian war
fare, and our national treasury doomed
to inevitable bankruptcy.

Time was when women cooks in New
York received about tho same wages as
chambermaids and mattresses, but now,
when the latter get but $40 to S12 o
month, the former command all the way
from SIS to $40, according to their skill
aud experience. Indeed, no woman
who has any talent for the business,
and is willing to take pains to learn it
thoroughly, need wait long for a place
at almost her own terms. Considering

Grants Cabinet.

An intelligent gentleman in Washing
ton writes us that the following IS the
most probable complexion of General
Grants Cabinet:
Secretary of State-C. +. Adams, OF
Massachusetts,.
Secretary of the Treasury-Hamilton
Fish, of New York.
Secretary of War-A. &. Curtin, OF
Pennsylvania.
Attorney. General. F. Wilson, OF
Iowa.
Postmaster General-Wm. Denuison,
of Ohio.
Secretary of the INTERIOR. A. Cress-
well, of Maryland.
Secretary of the Navy-Admiral Por-
ter.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Morris, of Illinois.
AS Illinois has the President and will
have the Commissioner of Revenue, she
will not receive a Cabinet office.
Neither will Indiana, which has the
Vice President. New England will re-
ceiye one appointment, New York one,
Pennsylvania one and the West two.
The border States will receive one. and
and perhaps two members.
The Cabinet of President Lincoln was
made upon this plan in 1861, and Grant,
it is said, will follow the example. As
New England has neither the President
nor Vice President, she will claim the
head of the Cabinet. New York, con-
trolling the money market of the coun-
try, and owning most of the Govern
ment bonds, wants the head of the
Treasury. The Stewards and the Astors,
who raised General Grant 100000 in
order to induce him to take the Presi-
dency, aud give up his $4,000 year
life office, will insist upon that. The
Republicans in the border States will
not be put off without ORe or two rep
resentatives.
The President desires to fill the Navy
Department. with professional sailor,
who understands the business, rather
than a politician, who knows nothing
about it, The War Department he may
also give to soldier. These, according
to our informant, will constitute the
principles upon which the Cabinet will
De made. We feel quite certain that
majority of the names above given will
go into the Cabinet.-Cin Cincinnati En-
