Gen. Cary.

To the Editor Of the Cincinnati Gazette:
understand that in public speech-probably
at Pixies 0pera-house--Gen. Cary invoked Al
mighty God that the ''wOmbs of Southern wo-
men may become barren, and the paps of those
giving such dried up" Is such the fact
EX-CONFEDERATE
Yes, that's the way Cary talked in those days
but failing to get an Office from the Republican
party, which objected to his extravagance ard
general unrelabiity, he Joined the Democratic
party, in the ranks of which he is now in good
and regular standing.
The wombs of Southern women were not dried
up. The prayer of the wicked avaieth nothing,
we are told, and Cary must have been very wick
ed or he would not have asked the Lord to
starve to death the sucking babes of the South.

Excess in salary as President

ItoIu5HI SI5-'UUU
1t would have required more than twenty-five
years for him as General to have realized the
salary he will have received for eight years as
President. Or, in other words, he could not be-
fore 1891, as General have drawn from the treas
ury the $500 600 which he will have drawn as
President, if he lives to the 4th of March, 1877.
But this is not all. The enormous sums voted
annually for the President by the Republican
majorities in Congress, under various pretexts of
furnishing and repairing the White House, inl-
proving the grounds, keeping up greenhouses,
than double the largest Grant made in a quarter
of a century before. These perquisites emol
uments average more than $4,000 year.

The Power OF the Grange.


The Grange has come to be an ac-
knowledged power in the land. That
it will be power for good, present
results sufficiently indicate. 1t has set
the farmers throughout this great val
ley-the granary of the world-to
thinking. When the people begin to
think earnestly, beneficial results are a
foregone conclusion. The Grange
movement has been the direct means of
melting thought in relation to the vital
subject of cheap transportation. 1t
has led the masses Of the farmers into
the habit Of questioning, instead of
quietly submitting to the existing con-
dition of things. In looking into things
they have found that freights could be
moved at profit TO transportation
companies at much less rate than
charged before any united action on
the part of the farmers took place.
The tide of public sentiment, which
has swept eastward from the west, has
not been frutless of good results. The
passage of the Eads jetty bill; anpro-
priations for the removal Of obstruc-
lions from the southern and western
streams-may very properly be re-
garded as concessions on the part of
Congress TO the expressed wish of the
Patrons Of Husbandry.
If such has been the power of the
Grange in the single matter of trans
portation, what may not be expected
when the Order-now in its infancy
shall become stronger and better disci-
plined, and win act, as we fully believe
it win, as unit for the accomplish
ment Of many other equally as much
needed reforms p CollnGR'S Rural.

Industrial Education.


The Lawrence ,Tonraatsays: "Presi-
dent Anderson, of the Agricultural
College, delivered an educational adj
dress before the State Teachers Assoc
citation at its recent annual meeting at
Topeka, which seems to have been a
little.outside of the regular line of such
addresses generally. lie showed that
our State has invested or expended in
educatiou, in the last ten years, in
round numbers, ST., 900, 900, and goes
on investing in the education business
at the rate of over million dollars
per annum. lie urged that education
should be industrial, in at least the
proportion of ninety-seyen to three.
He claimed that ourwhole educational
system was INSTRUCTED, because based
on the idea that all of the 1S5, 900 schol-
ars of Kansas arc to be educated for
lawyers doctors, preachers or teachers.
Out of every 100 persons in Kansas,59
are engaged in agricultural industries.
as in manufacturing or mechanical in
dustries, 10 in trade and transportation,
II in personal service, and only three
in the learned professions. lie argued
from these facts, that our common
schools should be industrial schools, or
as he expressed il, gifted from the
line which leads TO professional power
to that other line which leads to indus
trial knowledge
"There is much force in these sug-
gestions. We have long felt that there
was an advance step needed in the line
of industrial education. President
Anderson has taken it in the Agricul-
tural College, aud il must be followed
up moro or less in our common
schools

They pretend 10 be looking for stray
animals. One gets the description OF
an estray horse taken up by farmer
and claims the horse, giving the de-
seription of it as evidence that he had
owned and lost it. Usually he states
that he is long distance from home,
and proposes to sell the animal for
much less than its value rather than be
troubled TO get it home. The farmer,
unless unusually sharp, accepts the
proposition and pays the money, when
the scoundrel decamps.
