The attention Of our readers, particularly
those who havc served either In the army or
the navy Is invited to u synopsis Of the ad-
verse report Of the Senate Committee on
Public Lands On the soldiers bounty land
hill, which Is printed In another column
Why the House ever was induced to pass
such a monstrous fraud, under such u patri-
Otic guiso, We never could Imagine, and from
the Inception Of the measure VIC were
prompted by the reasons 50 fOrclbly pre-
scntcd by the committees report to oppose
It's passage. We venture to say there Is not
an cx-soldier, no matter how greatly he may
be In need Of ready cash, who, after u
careful investigation into the provisions
and legitimate operations Of this bill,
would desire his Government to be so
terrihcally swindlcd In order that he might
receive benefit Us paltry as this measure
would really confer upon him. As will be
seen by the report, the soldier would receive
actually nothing unless he happened to live
for the next forty ycars; and even then the
warrants would prove such u dTu! on the
kpcculatUrs market that almost nothing
would bC paid for them. Our course In con.
nectiUn with this matter has been severely
bc cX-soldiurs, aud we have repeatedly been
most unjustly accused with a lack Of SYM
, patty for the nations defenders We will
90 Us flH as any journal, though 1t
be their chosen mOuthpiecc, in adyoca-
ting any aud all measures which have
for their oljSgt the real benefit Of the
cx-soldlcrs, 6U I'VE will not, nor will any In.
tcllIgcut soldier expect Ills to, say anything in
favor Of such a bold fraud as this measure.
Let Congress do something generous by the
Union soldier, but for his sake aud the sake
Of his fair name let no attempt be made to
turn over To set Of interruptions schcmcrs
half Of our public domain by such u dcspicablc
trick as was proposed. The country and the
soldiers arc to be congratulated on the fact
that this corrupt job has received such u sud
den check, which will doubtless end it,.

If the men and women of good So
eiety wish to have less drinking to
excess let them stop drinking moder-
ately. If they are not willing to break
OF the indulgence Of feeble appetite
for the sake Of doing great goc to .
great many people, how can they ex-
pect poor, broken-down wretch to
deny m appetite that is stronger than
the love Of wife and children and even
life ITSELF The punishment for the
failure to do duty in this business il
sickening to contemplate. The sacri-
Zee Of life and peace and health go,sn.
Every year young men will rush
wildly to the devil, middle-aged men
will booze away into apoplexy, and
the old men will swell up with sweet
poison and become disgusting IDIOTS.
What will become Of the women?
We should think they had suffered
enough from this evil to hold it under
everlasting ban, yet there are drunken
women % we'll a. drinking clergymen.
Society, however, has great advant-
age in the fact that it is vulgar for q
woman to drink. There are some
things that . woman may not do and
maintain her social standing. Let
her not quarrel with the fact that So
eiety demands more Of her than il
does Of men. It is her safeguard in
many ways.-Dr. J. Holland, in Serb
ner's Monthly.
The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1873-09-13

The secret Of the success of great
many individuals lies in their manner
Of doing their business, in systematiz-
ing their daily labors and letting their
head save their heels. Some men can
accomplish in day an almost incred-
ible amount Of labor, while others
appear to be weighed down by doing
apparently nothing. A man who al
lows tri6es to Illustrate him, is no
man for business, for he soon wears
out his system, and renders himself
disagreeable to those around him. It
is good rule to have your daily work
allotted out, and with the aid Of sys-
tenn you will be able to accomplish
wonders. IF a spider breaks his
thread twenty times, twenty times viii
he mend it again; Make up your mind
to do thing, and you will surely dc
il. Fear not If trouble come upon
you, keep mp your spirits, though III
day be . hard one. Il

A man of keea observation thus, in
a statistical table, presents facts and
figures worthy Of thought: 1T is no
woa3er that very many persons are
poor, when their hard earnings are
wasted in indulgences which do harm
instead Of good. Bread il the great
staple Of food, and 500, 600 100 was
spent last year for flour. But the TO-
bacco sold in the country, for chew
ing and smoking and snud. cost &c.
900, 900 about 81 for every man, wo-
man, and child. This Is bad enough,
but the cost Of intoxicating liquors
was much higher. DIR. Edward Young,
at the head Of the Bureau Of Statis-
tics, in Washington, estimates the
amount paid for liquors in 1870 At
$500, 0O0, 600, averaging nearly $50 for
every man, woman, and child. A large
amount of this is used in poor fami-
lies, and reduces them to want and
wretchedness.

Though tho General Postofice
DepartanAnt declares itself dissatis
fed with The nay tie postal cards
are printed 81 the contractor.
there can NOT Be the slightest doubt
that the business men Of the com
try fully approve Of the new medi-
nm Of correspondence thus placed
ct their disposal. The immense
demand for the new issue striking
" illustrates the enterprise Of our
people and the readiness With which
they avail themselves of every
means which facilitates and expt,
dites intercourse and trade. The
Postofice authorities supposed they
were allowing . large margin for
the first twelve months demand by
contracting for an issue Of le0, 900,
600 postal cards. Rut II vas very
soon disoovseed that this estimate
was much too low. So unexpect-
edlv large has been the call for the
Asucards that the 100, O00, 900 may
not LAT five months, and next years
contract will probably be made for
3OO, 900, 900.
What becomes Of all the postal
cards! Since their introduction no
material falling off in the number
of letters forwarded through the
mails has been observed. This he
ing the case, it follows that the
cheaper meane of correspondence
must be used mainly for business
purposes, such as commercial circu-
lars anil adver tieements, and % it
actually turns out to be. None Of
us quite relish the thought of en-
trusting our private sentiments
and feelings to the publicity of the
postal card. and the shelter Of the
envelope, therefore, retains the pre-.
ference with the great bulk of let
ter writer's. But it is different with
the business community = the mer.
chants, traders, manufacturers
who consume prodigious quantities
of the cards as . means to extend
their connections over the country,
having discovered this 70 be a far
more expeditions and less expen
sive way than by the printed cir.
cular, autographed letter, etc
Some of the large Wholesale firms
of New York are said to circulate
millions Of the new postal cards Of
advertisements, and there is hardly
| . postoffice in the land, from Texas
to Maine, where they will not soor
be q familiar sight to !, the people o.
the nei9l,borhood.
