Lieut.. Fred Grant Handsomely Pro.
yided For.

Last winter when Fred Grant was sent
out to Chicago to displace the gallant
General Forsythe on Sheridan's Staff, the
Lieutenant General felt constrained to ex-
plain in a general order, that young Grants
title as Lieutenant Colonel was only a
local rank, to be dropped whenever he
retired from the staff General Sheridan,
al the time he issued the order containing
the above information, probably believed
what he wrote, and expected that the
promise would be fulfilled, but recent
event goes to show that, while he may
propose, the President disposes. This is
not an unusual way for the Chief Magis-
trate to treat his subordinates in matters
concerning the welfare of member
of his own family. IN the face
OF Sheridan's order, he has ordered Fred
to Washington, and appointed him mus
tering and disbursing officer with the
rank and pay he enjoyed while a member
of the Lieutenant Generals military fam
lily. The only duty expected of the young
man is TO draw his salary, the details of
the office being performed by com
petent officer holding a lower rank and
drawing small pay. The action of the
President is of piece with the withhold
ing of General Porter's resignation. Not
satisfied with having his own salary
doubled, he has taken advantage of his
great Office to jump his son from Brevet
Second Lieutenant to Lieutenant Colonel
with corresponding increase of pay

quired for the business. The expense of
purchasing these lines has been estimated
by committees of Congress at from S40,-
100000 to S1O,oOO,00O 1t is not likely
Congress will feel disposed, in the present
condition of our finances, to authorize
such an expenditure, especially as the OBJ
ject sought can he accomplished without
anv expense to the Government.
The Postoliice Department will furnish
the offices and the Postal Telegraph Com
pany will transmit the messages at rates
fixed by Congress.
If the people desire to have cheap
telegraph, and TO have the news furnished
to the press at low rates, they must sup
port the postal telegraph system, and urge
Congress to pass the bill authorizing the
Postm astcr-General to contract as he now
contracts for the carriage of the mails.
If, ON the other hand, they desire to per
petuate an ovcrgrown monopoly, which
is every day CROWN" more powerful, then
let them continue the present system, by
which single private corporation con-
trolls the telegraphic correspondence of a
nation, and has the power To give or with
hold news TO the press, and to mold pub
lie opinion in its own interest. Such Il
power is too great for any private com
bany to hold, and should be in the hands
of the people, to be used only for their
benefit.

SOup-Making.

THERE is no way in which the cOmfOrta-
BILE abundance of table may be better
insured, while at the same time strict
eye is kept upon economical expenditure
of means, than by an almost daily addi-
ton of soup to the family dinner. 1t is
only when concocted by an Indifferent
| cook that soup deserves the contemptuous
sobriquet of Stops" so often applied to it.
1t is surprising from what "A scanty al
lotment of material dainty dish of soup
may be supplied Let roast of beef be
| consumed to the very bone, a turkey or
pair of fowls deprived of every joint, yet
| II the carcass is put away, it furnishes at
once the needed basis The French
understand this To perfection, and we read
that in Partisan kitchens closed vessel
containing ''potage,'' is ever at the fire
place, awaiting any and every contribu-
ton the skillful grisette anon supplies
| from the surplus of other dishes in pro-
cess of preparation.
In the first place, observe ALWAYS to Law
your meat in the bottom of the pan or
pot, cutting the meat up, or if a bone
cracking 1t well. A lump of butter adds
richness, but is not necessary. Select
such herbs and vegetables as you prefer
cut them up very small and lay over the
meat, with very little water and "a can
tiously small piece of salt Cover the
vessel with a close fitting lid and set it by
a slow fire; this will draw out all the viz
tue OF herbs and roots, giving the soup
different flavor from what is impaired by
putting the full quantity of water in at
hrst. Turn the meat frequently. When
the gravy produced is almost dried up,
I'LL your pot with sufficient quantity of
water To make soup enough for your
family. To large shank bone of beef
three quarts or even one gallon is not too
much to allow.

The President of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, in IA letter to Il New
York paper, says: "The Hernia is proba-
bly, correct in assuming that further re
duction of rates will not be made by the
companies now doing the telegraph bust

ern Union Company have adopted some
| uniformity in their charges within few
| years past, and made few other reduc-
tions in their rates, to the great benefit of
| the public and the company; but the
| public are under no obligations to the
company for making these reductions ;
tor President Orion, in his annual report,
| informs his stockholders that they were
forced upon them from the competition
of opposition companies. They have re-
Gently purchased the principal opposi-
ton lines, and have reduced their rates
so low that the remaining companies are
unable to make any money. Now that
| this great monopoly is free from all fear
of competitor, they announce that they
viii make no further concessions in
rates.
That the company are able to make
further reductions is shown by the facts
given in the annual reports. From these
it appears that the rates have been re
duced nearly one third in six years, vet
the cost of doing the business is so much
ites, III consequence Vi It's great increase,
that the net profits are greater at the lower
than at the higher rates Mr.. Orion has
so often reiterated the proposition that
the expenses increase in nearly as rapid
n ratio as the business, and therefore re
duction in rates cannot be made, that he
has persuaded himself of its truth, and
is unable to appreciate the force of the
facts which we have given.
Mr.. Orion truly says that the telegraph
is only in its infancy. The growth of its
business is much more rapid than that of
the express or postotficc, and at the

ness or giddiness; and treasured by this,
the captain began to carry cut his plan
OF rescue, every incident of which was
watched with intense interest by the
crowd.
A fresh breeze was blowing, and the
captain, going away at some distance
from the church, let fly the kite. Soon 1t
rose in the air. 1t was not difficult to
guide the kite so that it rose over the
spire and brought its string within Tom 5
reach.
The captain now fastened the string Ia
the rope, and called on Tom 10 pull up.
Toms position enabled him TO hook his
elbows round the iron rod, and thus have
the use of both hands. 1t cost him some
trouble. but the rope was at length pulled
up. and by it he pulled up the block.
In accordance with the captains order,
he now bound the block to the iron rod
so strongly that it could support his
weight.
After this he passed the sling over his
shoulders and under him, so that he was
sitting on it The sling was attached to Il
rope reevcd through the block, and OK
tending down to the hands of halfdozen
men below.
The hardest task of all remained and
this was to let himself down so that he
might hang below the block. If he had
been in the slightest degree dizzy, this
could not have been done; but his head
was steady yet, and there were ropes to
cling to now, as he lowered himself. At
last he hung below the block, with the
sling under him, and his hands grasping
the line.
In this way he was lowered TO the roof.
There men waited for him, and he went
through into the attic, and so down to the
ground.
As he joined his friends, wild cheer
arose; scores of hands grasped his in
cordial greeting. This was because of the
relief and joy felt at his escape from death
but he really deserved to be reprimanded
and punished for his foolhardy adventure.

If there is any other Government
on earth that does so much as this for the
rich, and, to do it, so burdens all the rest
of the people, we confess to being .gno-
rant of where it is. Hence we, in behalf
of the pee pie, hold up TO their contem-
plation, day by day, this unjust Govern
ment discrimination against them, and we
do it to excite the people to become better

of their pecuniary distress, and of the
means to have these grievances removed
