HARD ON THE Posr MASTERS. The
House Post Office Committee has
made a unanimous report in favor of
reducing letter postage to two cents,
and requiring prepayment on all
matter, except on weekly papers cir
culating in counties where they are
printed. Postmasters are charged
with stealing so large an amount of
the newspaper postage that the De-
partment is said to suffer loss of ST.
100000 annually. Is it possible that
the postmasters are SO universally en-.
gagged in petty peculations, or has
Postmaster General Creswel been in
dulging in wholesale slander of his
nppointees !

DoN'T DE JUBILANT YET-Congress,
as usual, starts out with an apparent
firm resolve to cut down expenses, ,and
TO run the governmental machine upon
principles of the most rigid economy.
Its beginning in this direction for this
session need therefore create no sur
prise nor evoke spirit of congratu-
lation, for it is merely a repetition OF
the old story. The same course has
been pursued for years, and the re-
suit in the present case will not be an
exception to those which have pre-.
ceded il.

Speaking of the Credit Mobilier
bribery investigating committee of the
House of Representatives, "Sappho'
says in the Sun, that "the only man on
this cut and dried Committee who was
not directly in the interest of the
Union Pacific Railroad Ring, was Beck
of Kentucky" That is good and just
for Beck, but it is grossly unjust to
Banks. The records and the men
who know best exonerate the General.
He was committed for Pacific Rail
road long before Ames figured.

The colored men of Washington
have petitioned Congress TO pass the
Civil Rights bill in which they say;
White children are taught by white schools that
colored children are inferior and are to be des-
pissed. Such are the debasing results of the sepa-
rate schools system.
They might have gone further and
cited how President Grant and family
and the leading Radicals at Washing
ton teach their children TO despise
colored folks by refusing to make
equals of them. The colorcd mons
first petition should be to leading Radi-
calls asking them TO practice what they
preach. Let them try this and see
how they succeed.

Mr.. James jackson Jarvcs prints in The Ix-
dependent some remarks upon artists and crit
les, In the course Of which he says: eve
Americans began with over -coddling art.
Everything that appeared under its name was
treated as one pets pretty child, until it be-
came restive if fed with anything except
sweets. A wholesome truth made it mali
ciously angry" All which has much wider
application than Mr.. Jarves seems to give it.
We have not only coddlcd our painters and our
stattuanes, but we have encouraged nonsense
and pretension in literature and on the stage.
Our actors have grown intoerant not merely
of censuze but of sober criticism our singers
are angry if they are even praised with Quai-
tications; and managers look upon it as the
chief duty of the newspapers to help them
along. We shall never have vigorous art of
any kind in America until We have a vigorous
criticism. m.-Irtbune.

Street Boys.

Struck by the intelligent face and the gene
rally clean and wholesome appearance of lit
tie fellow belonging to the bOot-black brig
ade, gentleman the other day interview
ed' the youngster. The lad replied intelli-
gently and promptly. He is eleven years old
he earns from dollar to dollar and half a
day, and he takes his money home to his
mother, who uses it in the family. His father
is dead. He goes to school in the evening, and
on Sundays to church and Sunday school. OF
the truth of his statement there seems to be
no doubt. 1t is unfortunately the fact that
this is an exceptional case, though the exiS-
tence of even this one is worthy of mention as
showing what might be the case of many 9th
ers. Any boy of decent manners and respect
full address can, in fair "place of business, -
earn from eighty cents to dollar; and that,
for pOlisher of boots, is good wages. Ii he
has home or a good mother, an honest, in
dustrious boot black may lay the foundation oil
a competence with no other capital to star
with than his box, his backing and his brush
cs. If he has no home there are charitable
agencies and individuals who will advise anC
direct him.
The bad influences and temptations with
which street lads are surrounded are the wOrs
disadvantage with which they have to contend
Their inducements to do wrong come, it is pain
their own class as from idlers, who pursue NJ
semblance Of an industrious calling-unless va
grancy or begging be considered an avocation
There are many young beggars On the stree
whose whole story is lie; who are not sen
out by their parents, but merely neglected b.
them and who pursue vagabondage as means
of procuring money for useless, vicious ant
wasteful purposes. Even among the boys ant
| girls who are sent out from their homes,
such places as they stay in can be called homes
to beg, honesty appears to be the exception
and dishonesty tho rule. But part of wha
they beg or steal is carried home; the rest
squandered in methods which would make tn
charitable givers stare, if they could but knoN
what became Of their gifts.
OF course, even among juvenile beggers
there must be some worthy persons But thes
court rather than avoid investigation and in
quiry. True charity will take time to look int
such cases, and true prudence will be veT
chary of gifts of money, especially to children
The newsboy and the boot polisher earn thei
money, and it is quite within probabilities tina
good citizens may be recruited from thel
ranks. The little fellow whose story suggeste
these remarks is case in point. Nc dOub
there are many lads among our small stree
operators who deserve all they receive, an
make as good use of it as people whose bus
ness lies in heavier transactions. The Observ;
ton, encouragement and elevation of thes
? lads offers good mission field" Many ph
lanthropic people are engaged in it, but thel
is room for many more; an opening for " goo
works" Of most useful character. Ledger.

BUTTER WITHOUT MILK.-The latest achieve
ment OF practical science is the making of but
ter without milk. A company with a capital
OF hive hundred thousand dollars-to be called
the Olesmargarine Manufacturing Company
has established in Philadel phia for the manu-
1acture OF the new product. The process is
thus described: The new butter is made from
the same n'dtcf0t as ordinary butter, but this
material Is obtained by much more simple
and natural process than that of milking tho
COWS, &c. In ordinary butter it is not the
cream that Is made into butter, but the oil in
the cream. The butter when made is COM
posed OF oil, mixed with sour milk or butter
mix. Ii the butter is warmed up to a certain
point you have nothing but oil. Now, this oil
was secreted land went into the milk from the
fatty tissues of the COW. 1t is a roundabout
Way-and not always very cleanly-to obtain
butter Now the new process of making but
ter Is to go to the original source of the oil,
namely, to the fatty tissues of the animal
Ellled-cow, steer, etc,,-is taken and ground
into line pulp. 1t is then warmed up to
about ~ degrees Fahrenheit, when it is en-
veloped In linen cloths and the oil pressed out,
large iron presses being used for the purpose.
This oil is then cooled down to about 60 de-
grees, and placed in an ordinary churn, adding
the same quantity of water or milk-though I
believe they now use sour milk in preference
ana q little anato, vegetable preparation used
to color cheese, when the churning commen-
ces. In four minutes the operation ceases, and
a splendid article of butter is turned out. The
water or milk is then worked out" as the
ordinary butter-milk, and an ounce of salt to
the pound added; The company are now turn
ing out about thousand pounds per day, and
1t is estimated that when the additional ma
chinery is introduced they will turn out ten
thousand pounds daily. All they can make
now is taken by few leading hotels and res
taurants.
