garding the Additional Bounty Law
of1s66:
Call the attention of Of soldiers to
the fact that all applications under
the additional Bounty Law of 1866
must be fled prior TO January, 1870.
The limit of time for filing has once
been extended by Congress, and can
not be expected a second time.
WHO ARE ENTITLED To THE ADDI-

Every soldier who enlisted for three

All three years soldiers who were
discharged JoT tUoulds, injuries, her

A TRUE STORY OF AN ATTACHMENT
WITHOUT LOVE.
\ young man who boards at a Pub
lie House not a thousand miles from
Bepublic, having failed to Hquidate
certain pecuniary liabilities to the
satisfaction of his creditors came to
unexpected grief one night last week.
After retiring for the night he was
aroused by rap at the door of his
room. Without investing himself
with any superfuous apparel, he ad-
mitted the visitor who, proved to be
an officer of the law with a writ of at
taehment. Before our young friend
had sufficiently recovered from his
astonishment to realize the situation
that officer had quietly taken posses
sion of the several articles of his ward
robe including his unmentionables
containing a badly collapsed pocket
book, and walked off.
The next day our hero appeared in
a suit resembling one belonging to a
fellow boarder, and fixing up his little
matter, secured the return of his dry
goods. SCIPIo.

TERMS o. THE WEEKLY GAZETTE:

The Agricultural Department.-Thea atten-
ton of farmers Is particularly directed to
the Agricultural department OF the Gazette,
which is a specially IN the Weekly edition.
This contains, TO large extent. an inter-
change OF views between practical men,
which is proving interesting and valuable,
and has, during The last year. been univer-
sally commended by our subscribers. The
information thus obtained from practical
men, and disseminated through the col
umns of the Gazette, is of more real value
than volumes that are written on agricul-
subjects by mere theories. The man who
does thing Is far more capable OF telling
how IL Is done than the man who gets all
his knowledge from books, and knows noth-
ing aboul practical farming. Our agrieul-
tuTal readers regard this department Of the
Gazette alone worth fully the subscription
price Of the paper.

The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1870-12-15

A great deal Of nonsense has been
written in regard to President Grant
appointing relatives 20 Office. So
much has been said, and said 50 loose
", that people not posted would sup
pose that large proportion Of the Of
fees were filed by the relatives Of the
President. Such, however, is not the
case. But a very few Of Grants rela-
tives are in Office, and those who are
thus fortunate are fully competent for
the positions they hold.
In these discussions, the press has
shown itself very illiberal- We have
yet TO see one paper that opposed the
relatives Of Granton any other ground
than that they were relatives. Not
one has questioned their qualifea-
tions. It is not fair view to take Of
the subject, aud shows that the pa
pers taking part in the discussion
care nothing further than 10 get q
stroke at Grant.
In matters Of this kind, relationship
should not be considered-qEalifiea-
ton aud fitness should be the only
requisites. On this subject, John
Adams wrote to President Monroe,
htly, as follows:
tI hope you viii excuse me, sir, If
take the liberty to express my opin-
ion Ct the justice and prudence Of this
principle. The hyper-superlative vir--
the Of General Washington introduce
ed It; but Il has done more hahn than
good, and, IN my judgment, the soon-
er e Is discountenanced the better.
A President ought not to appoint a
man because he Is his relstive; nor
ought he To refuse or neglect to ap-
point him for that reason. A
thousand cases might be put to show
the absurdlty and iniquity Of such q
rule. Merit, talents, integrity, quali-
ties, qualifications, have claims on
the nation and the nation have claims
upon them which ought not 70 be
overruled upon any such personal
considerations"
