this explanation. the officer ordered
the box to DO opened. Inside was a

MILEAGE.

I, may not be generally understood
that the bill which repealed the salary
grab, resurrected the old abuse Of mile
age to Senators aud members. In
other words, IL placed the compsn-
sation At the old rate Of 5000 per
annum, with an allowance OF 90 cents
per mile for travelling expenses. A few
days ago. while the House WAS work
Ing In Committeo OF the Whole OF the
Army Appropriation Bill. a discus
sion arose upon the propriety Of pay
Ing mileage to officers travelling under
orders instead OF their actual expenses
only. This went on for some time,
and the House "a Of course some
what diversified In opinion upon the
the question. Finally. however. the
absurjity OF criticising the payment OF
ten cents per mile to military aud ex-
ecutive officers while Congressman
drew twenty cents per mile. began to
dawn upon the statesmen Ia the House.
Mr.. Beck arose and said he thought II
was n good time to reform the whole
mileage abuse In all its qualifications,
aud In proof thereof offered an amend
ment providing that only actual travel
ing expenses shall be paid to any per-
son In the service Of the United States,
aud further. tina, no more than ten
cents per mile shall In any case be al
lowed for such expenses. This being

an amendment that this association invite

izations to carry out the enterprise. Instead
of being content with the $4,000, guar
antce fund of 100000 is advocated, to be
obtained by subscription. The matter is
one that should be pushed for there is no
good reason why New England, or Massa.

exposition fully equal to those of Cincinnati,

Philadelphia and Pennsylvania have

States by individual subscriptions have done
quite handsomely. Now, however, in spite
of the understanding when the government

nations to participate, Congress is impor
tuned to appropriate anywhere from one tC
five millions Of dollars towards its expenses
This is unfair and foolish. Unfair because
it violates an express agreement, and fool

MIR. Seth Green, the great fish cultur-
list, has just devised new crop, from which,
10 some portions of this State, the best re.
turns might reasonably be expected. He
desires that all the frog ponds in the country
should be stocked, and that at once, with
colonies of frogs, and promises from such
investment excellent returns from the
pockets Of such epicures in the cities, as
are both willing and anxious to pay liber.
ally for the luxury of the well.browned
hing legs Of the bull-frog. Seriously, how.
ever, there would seem to be some sense in
this suggestion, for such delicacies always
command high price, and large CROP
could be raised without great expense.
