Mechanicstown, Feb 7, 1874

sas- The highest rate of fare on any
Railroad in the country is ten cents a
mile, and there are but few stage lines
that charge that rate. Yet Congress
allow. its members twenty cents for
every mile Of travel. What would a
merchant think of an agent who
should charge double his travelling
expenses? Such man would be dis
missed as swindler.
In the days Of horses and stage
coaches the rate Of twenty cents I
mile was excusable, but with Rail
roads penetrating to every inhabited
corner of the land the allowance j
absurd.

TIE VICE President OF THE
WESTERN MD, RAlLRoAD.-The Ok
ford, Pa, Press, Of 4 recent da'e,
speaks in high terms Of j. NJ. Hood,
ESQ.,, the newly elected Vice President
of the Western Maryland Railroad.
1t says:
A Meritcd Appointment.-We learn
with pleasure that our esteemed
townsman, J. NJ. Hood, has been ap.
pointed to the position OF Vice Pres
ident and General Manager Of the
Western Maryland Railroad. Mr.
Hood, during a sojourn Of over two
years with us, has not only grown in
popular favor with our citizens as q
gentlemen, but he has also added new
laurels to his fame as all engineer
His duties as chief engineer of the
Peach Bottom Railway, now we'll ad
vanced towards completion, have
been trying and arduous; for his wa'
the task of construction cheap roac
through a most difficult country. How
we'll he succeeded is best attested by
the character Of the work itself
which has received the approval Of ;
number of ADLER engineers, and by
the degree of satisfaction universally
expressed by the stockholders. 1t is
question whether there has ever
been in this country a railroad se
well built upon such unfavorabl'
ground. We congratulate the West
ern Maryland upon having secured
the services of a gentleman in every
way so competent and as for Mr.. H
himself, we can only express the wlsi
that his relations with the peopl
among whom he is going may be a
pleasant as ours have been with him
We understand that he will remove
his family to Baltimore and snte
upon his new duties about the frs
proximo.

Don't W ant A Standing Army.

The only logical reason that can
be given for the existence OF a stand
ing army in any nation is to have tho
means to repel invasion, resist polit-
ical coercion, and subdue rebellion.
The New York Sun says the necessl'
ty for armies in Germany, France
and Austria is manifest. If England
had not colonies she would not need a
military establishment. Her navy
would suffice to protect her territory
and commerce. The United States
have no military neighbors. Neither
the Canadians nor the Mexicans Will
ever invade us. The only element
that ever existed in American
politics which could germlnate a clvl
war, slavery, has ceased to exist. L
is not possible to fnd'in the relations
Of our States cause for another wa
to overthrow the Government an@
recost the Union. What justification
is there, then, for the existence 0
our army of 10000 men? There ar
wandering, thieving, numbering band
Indiana within our territory whlcl
REQUIRE watching and Furnishing
Eioht thousand men will ampl.
suffice for this work. Twcntytw
thousand men, therefore, are main
tanned by our taxpayers in lives {
the most Improbable idleness: The
should be sent back to useful iaoo
forthwith. A large standing army
the United States in time OF peace
a solecism unworthy Of ratlon'
ncople 1t is an absurd, costly shan
which should be attacked by ever
man in the country, who honestl
desires to stop the waste Of the put
lie money.
| In the three great States Of Arka'
sas, Louisiana, and Mississippi the'
are less than 1000 United Stat
soldiers. Their ostensible business
to sustain the authority Of the gene
al Government against opposite
sngendered by the war. The dl
PROPORTION between the numbers
, the troops and the area Of the tie
, ritory is hugely absurd. Of VII
rossible use can three hundred al
, tbirty.three men and one-thlrd, a
V ting even as a" Irrational police force
be in a State as large as Mississippi
:, They can not serve any purpose, sa
to help make up major genera
e command. And this is the key to t
# secret of the excessive size of O
J. army. The close Of the war left
" large number of regular officere "
}. wanted employment. There We
y so many Of them that an army
It $4,000 men was necessary to s.
e commands and places even to eft
J. tive and comparatively young Office
1t is a truth, discreditable to t
modern administration Of our Cover
~ ment, that the new army was
10 famed to meet the needs Of the COZ
IS try, but to provide for less than Q
hundred generals and colonies.
- Let the army be reduced.

dlen-one ten boys and two girls, and
the other ten girls and two boys,
Many OF their children have died, and
these bereavements bore very heavily
upon Chang and Eng, who were
christians and members in cool stand

recognized in the neishborhood a

not Of weak intellect, but strong par
tisans in politics and shrewl in bust

down hill, acquired suchvelocity, that
I found it impossible to check their
speed on arrivingat the corduroy road.
On they dashed, and as the wheels
struck the first log, 1 was caused to
bound like football, but fortunately
came down again on the seat, which |
grasped with both hands. On strik-
ing the seat, my Jaws came together
with such force asto bite off large
piece from the end of my tongue.
The din caused by the tinware fright
ened the horses and caused them to
dash forward with break-neck speed.
Presently, as the wagon continued to
bound from one log to another, the
fastening of the box was shaken loose,
and tin-cups, pans, and other light ar
ticles would fly out and lie scattered
along the road. But it was no time
then to stop for trifles, and on we went
until'the last log was reached, and we
bounded off upon a smooth road,
where, though pounded nearly tQa
Jelly, was glad once more to gather
up the reins and assume an upright
position.
On glancing back at my pursuers, l
found them still rushing on, the white
horse several lengths ahead; but as l
now had a smooth road, and only q
mile further to go in order to cross the
line, felt comparatively safe.
Presently the boundary was crossed,
and l drew up at a tavern, a few rods
further on, and halted for much need
ed refreshment.
My pursuers halted on the State
line, and 1 called to them to come over
and take a drink; an invitation which
the two constables gladly accepted.
But the other sadly wheeled his white
charger and plodded his way home
