Business at the White House.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times thus describes
the working of the present Regime at
the White House There never
was an Administration so compile
tely Independent of control by per
sons OF influence as the present.
There was never time, probably,
when the executive mansion was so
free from hangers-on and kitchen
cabinet arrangements generally
After four o'clock in the afternoon,
the building assumes all the the APP
pearance OF a private residence
The President refuses to see callers
on business in the evening. The
people who do call pay their res
poets or spend the evening in the
private parlor with the President
and Mrs. Grant, and the intercourse
on such occasions is never allowed to
approach business, save when some
public necessity brings proper re-
preventative of the Departments or
of Congress-, with mission the inn
portance of which the President
himself fully recognizes. A pure at
mosphere, inspiring conviction of
honesty and truth, prevails at the
White House, and only those who
know what contamination prevailed
under the previous occupant can full
ly appreciate the change. Never
was q President more free to do
what is best for the country and the
people at large, and never was a
President apparently more deter
mined to perform that duty"

aA- The churches in Boston are
endeavoring to do away with pew
rents and reserved seats, and find
that the experiment, as far as it has
gone, pays well. A church in Cam
bridge, which last year obtained
81 400 from rented pews, this year
received $4,000 by the voluntary
contributions of those who occupied
its now free seats and new church,
which is "free in all parts" finds that
it raises more money in this way
than it could by renting the pews
In Liverpool clergyman announces
his intention of throwing his church
"open to all, having the offertory at
each service" and expresses his
hope chat the time is not distant
when the unscriptural practice of re-
ceiving pew rents will be done away
with forever, and the offertory, fer
which we have apostolic sanction, be
every where substituted" He thinks
that "until this be done, we must
look in vain for full churches" Per
Contra, the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher goes in strongly for reserved
seats, private boxes and high prices
for tickets. If the entertainment is
only attractive enough, if the actor
is we'll on his part, if he piles on the
agony with sufficient emphasis, the
house will be filled and the people
will pay. Instead of new rituals, u
says he in a recent pronunciamento,
land of the absurd attraction OF free
seats, let men" follow his example,
''and zee if churches are not flied |"

Rray>Hha Galana Gazette oriuAs q

sD~The Galena Gazette gives de-
tailed account of the wedding of Mr..
G. Spensely, of Mineral Point, to
Miss Clara, daughter of Gen. Amasa
Cobb, from which we extract as fol-
lows:
The bride and bridegroom were
elegantly dressed, and were attend
ed by three couples, also dressed
with elegance and taste-Mr. John
Spensely and Miss Hattie Cobb, Mr..
Charles Gale and Miss Sallie Cox, all
of Mineral Point, and Mr.. John Wal
Ter of Dubuque with Miss Celestine
Lorrain of Galena. There were
three hundred invited guests present.
AT the close of the ceremony the
longtime friends of the father and
the bride gathered at the paternal
mansion, where tables were hand
somely spread, decorated with beau
tiful flowers and laden with luscious
fruits and more solid food.
The presents to the bride were
very numerous and valuble, among
which were the following: A large
family Bible, Parian marble statu-
cites Ruth and Boaz), a fine resi-
dence elegantly furnished in Mineral
Point, a full silver tea service. a sill
yer soup tureen, ice pitcher and gob-
let, and table silver ware of every
description, three sets of China ware,
glass ware, books and bookcase, pic
lures, &c. &c,

Extent and Increase of American Rail
roads.

At the commencement of the pres
ent year the railroads OF the United
States were in number of miles more
than two-thirds that of the rest of the
world, we having $4,000 miles, while
the rest of the world possessed but
10000. The close of this year, owing
to the completion of the Pacific Road
and others, will probably run up the
number of miles TO half as much
again, as there are some three hun
dred separate lines now building, the
average length of which will proba-
bly, not be less than fifty miles.
These are being. reconstructed as rapidly
as possible, and the amount of capital
employed in railways is immense.
Maine is building eight roads, New
Hampshire four, Verm mt six, Massa-
chusetts five, Connecticut seven,
New York eleven. New Jersey sew en-,
Pennsylvania thirty-two, Delaware
five, Maryland seven, West Virginia
one, and Ohio twelve. Indiana,
Illinois and Michigan have each
about the same number in progress
Iowa and Missouri, twelve Wiscon-
sin, six Minnesota, seven Nebraska,
two or three ; Kansas nine Arkan-
sas. three; Texas, three or four
Louisiana, four; Mississippi, three
Alabama, six while in other South
ern States there are about twenty in
progress, and the cry is still for more.
Mobile is demanding direct line to
the eastern limits of the country
and Georgia and the Carolinas,
through their press. are earnestly
appealing to the enterprise and lib
erality OF their citizens for increased
railroad facilities.
1t is impossible fully to estimate
the ultimate effects of this mighty
engine of civilization upon the des-
TIMES of the country, but they can
not but be enormously advantageous
in opening up hitherto comparative
" unknown regions, and diminishing
he cost of their productions to con-
sumers, as every fresh facility for

MINERALs.-Very few persons in
these mining parts set anything like
a true value upon the rare minerals
found in the mines. And when we
speak of the value of such select
specimens we have reference to their
worth as articles cxchangeable" for
other rare and rich specimens found
in distant countries. Most persons
possess taste for some department
in the museum of Natural History
and may be able To collect tolerable
cabinet in the line of their fancy by
collecting these mineral specimens
and exchanging them for such as
interest them. With small cabinet
of minerals collected from our own
mines one may go east and exchange
for articles he would prize tenfold
above their value-say of prepared
birds and animals, sea shells, and
marine minerals, and oriental handi-
craft, &c. The demand is more than
good for curious specimens of min
erals, so that small enterprise of
the kind cannot fail We have seen
porlor cabinets ofexceeding richness,
the same obtained exclusively in
this way.
Some days since stopping at the
Empire House, Hazel Green, B. Cor
nelson proprietor, our attention was
called to his fine and quite large cab
met of select minerals, all from
neighboring lead mines, for the col
lection of which Mr.. Cornelison pos
sesses much of turn. Perhaps
there are few fuller or richer cabinets
to be found in the mines. He says
be would sell very cheap the entire
display, perhaps above half a tour
or would exchange the same for other
valuables.

The Short Credit System.

A Milwaukee paper says We
have on several occasions du-
ring the season noticed the fact that
several of our first businesses men
We're gradually bringing their bust
ness to a 30 days time credit sys-
tenn, or strictly cash basis this is an
absolute necessity of the times, and
the sooner that osr farmers and
country merchants come TO that
stand point, the better. We find by
the following from the Jefferson
Banner, that the good work is begun
in that village
"a meeting of the business men of
this village has lately been held and
resolutions have been adopted where
by each party has agreed in the fu-
ture to give no more than thirty
days credit to any of their customers.
The credit business has become SO
large that business men find it ruin
Gus to their business and utterly i'm
possible for them to longer continue
this wholesale system OF credit 1t
is argued, and we think justly, that
the long credit system, is not only
injurious to the seller, but also TO the
purchaser, that if the cash system is
adopted as a rule that goods can be
sold at a considerable reduction from
old time prices, and that in the long
run all parties will be gamers by this
system. The exact policy which the
business men of this place have
adopted to take effect on the LIST day
of November next, is about as fol-
lows Men of good standing will be
given a credit of 30 days on their
purchases. At the end of 80 days
their accounts are to be- balanced,
and settled by paying the money on
the same. 1t is left discretionary
with the parties doing business, il
they see fit, to take an approved
note for the amount, in cases where
the money cannot be reached, charg-
ing interests at the rate of ten per cent.
per annum. By adopting this plan
OF doing business, each party can at
all times tell exactly where he stands

Roy a decision of ranaral inta,

seHA decision of general interest
to farmers, especially to large stock
raisers of the west, has just been
made by Commissioner DeIano. In
some districts persons have been tax
ed as cattle-brokers who were in the
habit of buying cattle in the summer
and turning them into their pastures
and selling them for beef to butchers
as soon as they were IN proper con.
dition. The question OF their liabili-
ty having been referred to the Com
missioner, he decided that they were
not liable, if buying, pasturing and
selling were necessary to their bust
ness as farmers and graziers, or prop.
erly incidental thereto. The real
cattie-broker, under this decision, is
held TO be one whose regular business
it is to buy and sell cattle in values
greater then ten thousand dollars
annually, and simply for profit.
