Mack" thus alludes to a little on
pleasantness the great V. P. recently had
with a railroad official:
Burdened with the cares of State till
his back is describing the arc of a circle,
and his hairs are hesitating whether to
turn gray or come out, he can still and
time to write three pages of foolscap to
q railroad President, to demonstrate and
solemnly protest against the conduct of
subordinate" who sudaciously collected
fare from a passenger, and that pssseR-
ger Mrs. Honorable Schuyler. The
amount involved was eight dollars. l
have no right, of course, to say what or
to whom the Honorable Schuyler shall
write. But when hear of him writing
three whole pages for a contingent
fee of So, with the chances only one in
ten of his recovering the sum, | detect
base prostitution of the business of letter
writing, as well as an objectionable de-
terieration from the scale of prices. And
if the Honorable Schuyler intends to
enter the field as writer, and work at
the cheap rate of IS per three foolscsp
pages contingent pay at that, warn
him he will change the tune of all the
pulfers into hostility, for the noisiest
shoemaker among them would not write
50 much for SO little, to say nothing of
the fact that not one Of them would take
their pay in passes. To work so cheap,
aud then ride it out" is little too
much of a reduction below established
rates

Lady BYRON and Hsr Husband.

She loved him to the last, with a love
which it was not in his own power to
destroy. She gloried in bis name, and
she would not interfere between him and
the public who adored him any more
than she would admit the public to
Judge between him and her. AS we have
said, her love endured to the last. 1t
was her fortune which gave him the
means of pursuing his mode Of life
abroad. He spent the utmost shilling OF
her property that law gave him while be
lived; and he left away from her every
shilling that be could deprive of by his
will; aud what the course of life was,
which be thus supported, he himself has
left on record. Yet, after ell this, the
interview which she had with his servant
after his death shows what depth OF
passion lay concealed under the calm
surface of her reserve. II will be re-
membered, when Byron knew himself to
be dying, be called to his maH Fletcher,
and desired him to "go TO Lady Byron
-" Here his utterance became un-
ineligible, till he said: You will tell
her this" and Fletcher was obliged to
reply: II have not heard one syllable
that you have been saying" Good
God |" exclaimed the dying man; but it
was too late for more. Fletcher did 90
to Lady Byron; but during the whole
interview she walked up and down the
room, trying to stiAe her sobs and obtain
power to ask the questions which we're
surging in her heart. She could not
speak, and be was obliged to leave her.

Reduction Of the Army.

The order adopted by General Scho-
field for the consolidation Of the regi-
ments now in the service, in accordance
with the provisions Of the new law for
the reduction Of the army, has been
printed. Cavalry and artillery regime ents
unchanged The forty-9ve regiments Of
infantry are to be consolidated into
twenty five. This will throw twenty
colonels, twenty lieutenant colonies,
twenty majors, two hundred captains,
and about four hundred FIRST and second
lieutenants into the list of those await
ing orders. Wherever officers are on
detached duty or are absent with leave
or otherwise their places will be filed
from the next in rank, and they left on
the list of those in retirement The
twenty-five regiments will constantly
have full complement of officers. The
four colored regiments will be formed
into two, to be known as the twenty
fourth and twenty-ffth. The four vete-
ran reserves will be consolidated with
the active regiments, aud men unfit for
duty at once mustered out, if they so
desire. The staff corps are not consoli-

At the last hunt in the forest of Fon-
tainebleau, the courtiers who accom-
panied the Emperor were much mysti6ed
by the following occurrence: The EN-
peror suddenly halted in the middle Of
the forest, aud requested his attendants
not to follow him any further. he then
advanced alone, and was met at some
distance further on by a tall man in .
peasants dress, whose features the cour-
tiers were unable to distinguish, but who,
they saw, had very small, white hands,
aud several rings on his fingers. The
Emperor conversed with this mysterious
stranger for over an hour and half, and,
when be finally returned to his attend
ants, they noticed that His Majesty was
exceedingly thoughtful, aud even morose.
Upon his arrival in Paris, the Emperor
retired at once to his cabinet, pacing the
room for several hours, aud refusing sd-
mittance to his private secretary. Some
of the couriisrs of the Tnileries think
that the mysterious stranger was no other
than the Count Of Paris, the 0rleanist
prince, while others assert that it must
have been ex-King Ferdinand Of Portu-
gal, now a candidate for the Spanish
throne.

The press of the country has spoken
on the recent appointment The New
York Sunday Neps, however, says some
of the toughest things about him: IL ls
possible, however, that the Office has
beea given to General Lees favorite
Lieutenant from less worthy motives,
and that desire TO seduce enough Con-
federates into the Radical ranks to build
up a respectable Radical party in the
Southern States is the motive which has
actuated the President in this matter /;
for, if il shall once become known that
the Administration will confer its Offices
on ex-Confederates, it they will become
Radical politicians, there are many thou
sands in every Southern State that will
quickly be converted TO the dominant
faith. Such is human nature in the
South as we'll as in the North, and East
and West But whatever may be the
opinion as to Grants conduct in tender
ing Office to Longstreet, there are very
few persons who will not say that it does
not become General Lees Lieutenant
General 10 accept office under the soldier
President against whom they fought, and
5y whom they we're conquered. 1t is all
we'll enough to praise Grants magnar-
unity, and to say that Longstrees might
we'll accept the progsred hand Of the vic
iorious chief; but il is not we'll that be
should do so when that hand is filled with
pieces Of money" Longstreets course
has been q source Of pain and morti6ca-
ton to all Of bis old friends. The general
opinion among those Southern men who
know him best is that he is no longer the
man of old; that bis mind is touched.
He is thoaght honest andconscieutious
ia his course, but misguided.

THE SAD BRIDAL.

What would you do, my dear one said
What would you do If were dead ?
II Death should humble. as he list.
These red lips which now you kistl
What would my love do were wed
To that CHASTITY groom instead;
If fo'er me, in the chancel. Death
Should cast his amaranthine wreath
Before my eyes, with fingers pale,
Draw down the mouldy bridal veil
All no! no il cannot be
Death would spare their light, and flee,
And leave my love to Life and me

Sunday he was attacked with Sc

About BeeSyynx.

Alex. s. McCrae, of Liverpool,
writes to the st. Louis Democrat,
Oct. 18th:
"American artists are perhaps not
generally aware Of the enormous con-
sumption of beeswax in Europe, and
the pre-eminent value of the United
States supply. Independently of the
very large yield Of mineral and veg
etable wakes, England alone must
consume some two thousand tons a
year, to the value of say 50, 100, 900.
Its worth is assessed by color, purity
and melting point, and the latter
process readily exposes adulteration
or foreign matter.
To-day's quotations, taking gold at
l.3l, are as follows: American bright
pressed yellow 4505lc; American
rough mixed yellow 42043c; West
Indian yellow 4ls(0483; East Indian
yellow 43l(a42sc; African yellow 36i
G41ic per Id.
AS an instance Of the consumption,
1t may be mentioned that one Eu-
ropean palace alone is said to burn
ten thousand wax candles nightly.
The method Of lighting them is in
genious. The respective apartments
being prepared with the candles, an
inflammable, scented web-like link
(gun-cotton) runs from wick to wick.
Immediately one end Of the link is
lit, the flame flashes round the con-
nected wax lights with lightning
rapidity, and they are simultaneous
~ intlamed. AS the link burns and
ignites each candle, an agreeable odor
is emitted, and the apartments, from
one end to the other, are thus not
only Illuminated, but perfectly re-
freshed and perfumed, as though by
magic"

Lam entablc Case.

The new Orange Judd Scientific
Hall ct Wesleyan University, in
Middletown, Conn, will be memo
rial edifice to Willie Judd, son OF
Orange Judd, who died last Spring.
Though only twelve years of age, he
had travelled all over the Continent,
visited every European Capital, was
an excellent draughtsman, a fine mu-
stefan, and conversant with the Lat
in Greek and French languages. He
was ready to enter the second orthird
term Sophomore and was eager
ly looking forward to the day when
he should leave for the College at
Middletown.-N. Y. Ere. Post.
1t would not be difficult, in the case
of any child, to predict the result Of
such examining and forcing tender
young brain. This child persisted
through the vanity and folly Of his
parents as completely as if they had
violated human, not less than natural
laws. Mr.. Judd is the energetic and
liberal editor Of the ADerican 1Ni-
cuiwist, which pretty much every
body interested in American Agri-
culture takes pleasure in reading, and
we supposed, was a wiser man than
this sad case indicates. -XdUkeye.

Corn and HOGS.

Below will be found a very neat
statement Of the cost of making a
pound of pork. We do not believe
that there is pound ofpork made
for market in Iowa, or in any of the
United States, in proportion to the
scale here presented. Our farmers
are too careless feeders to come with
in twenty-five per cent. of these pro-
portions. We k,toW that it can be
done, for we have doneit with our
own hands. Will some of our read
ers givein their experience as to the
value of a bushel of corn fed to hogs?
-Uomestedd.
CORN AND HoGs.--From carefully
conducted experiments by different
persons, il has been ascertained thai
one bushel Of corn will make a little
over ten and half pounds of pork
gross. Taking the results as q basis
The following deductions arc made
which all our farmers would do wei
to lay UP for convenient reference:
! When corn costs l2l cts. per bush
ell, pork costs ! cents per pound.
When corn costs II cents per bush
ell pork costs 2cents per pound.
i When corn costs % cts. per bushel
/ pork costs 3 cts. per pound. aas
| When corn costs 33 cts. per bushel
pork costs cts. per pound.
! When corn costs 50 cts. per bushel
pork costs cts. per pound.
The following statements shov
what the farmer realizes ON his corr
when in the form of pork:
When pork sells for cts. per ib, i
brings Is cts. per bushel on corn.
When pork sells for 4 cts. per Id, i
brings 33 cts. per bushel OH corn.
II When pork sells for cts. per ID,
brings 70 cents per bushel on corn.-
