An Army Scandal.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-The Tines Wash
ington special says army circles are a
good deal disturbed over the case of
alleged bribery on the part of well
known army officer who recently mar
ried Mrs. Gordon Granger. This is
the story:
Mrs. Granger, widow of the late
Gen. Gordon Granger. has been since
the death of her husband employed in
the quartermaster generals office at a
salary Of 800 per month. She has also
been in receipt of 500 per month pen
sion money, and when Commodore
Vanderbilt died he gave her 800, 900,
all of which has placed her in circum-
stances far above want. She is still
young and suitors for her hand have
been numerous.
When Granger died he was colonel
of the Fifth United States infantry,
and Lieut.. Thomas Blair was regimen
tai adjutant. Lieut.. Blair laid siege to
the young Widows heart and succeeded
in winning her affections, and some
four or Eve menths ago they were mar
ried at Santa Fe, New Mexico. Pre-
vious to this, however, Lieut.. Blair
obtained leave Of absence to visit
Scotland on private business, and it
was on his return that Mrs. Granger
gave up her clerkship, left Washington
and went on to Santa Fe to perfect the
bridal arrangements agreed upon be-
tween herself and Lieut.. BLAIR.
Matters went pleasant and quiet
enough for short time, but just NOW
an investigation is going on at the war
department which has tendency to
overcloud Mrs. Granger's dream OF
happiness and peace.
It is stated that information upon
which the investigation proceeds was
first lodged with Lieut.. Blair's superior
officer by Hon. Milton J. Durham, Of
Kentucky, and that it is to the effect
that Lieut.. Blair is guilty of bigamy
having had a lawful wife and children
in Scotland, at the time of his marriage
with Mrs Granger. 1t is also stated
that proofs Of his first marriage are
regular, complete and now in the pos
session of the war department.
Gen. Sherman, who is warm friend
of Mrs. Granger, has, it is said. written
her to come back Immediately to Wash
ington; and it is further stated that
direct steps have been taken to prose
cute Lieut.. Blair criminally in the
civil courts, and to organize court
martial for his trial for conduct unbe-
coming an officer and gentleman, with
reference to his diamissal from the
service.

Our esteemed contemporary. the Times.
lately did the business public II service by
exposing the fraud of an organized system
TO get advertising Tor newspapers OF thrilling
consequence and insignificant circulation.
There il. as everybody knows who under
stands our newspaper literature lot of
journals published simply for the rurposcof

and even "a gift they are refused. Yet

spend their money in advertising their
wares in these useless sheets.
During tho supremacy Of our New York

lishcd here and they made money because,
while they got enormous prices for the city
Advertising their only considerable expense
was for type setting, the cost OF their print
ing paper being small, since few qulrcs OF
u cheap article more than satisfied the pub
lie demand for them. In one Office alone
three on four of these papers were published,
and though nobody ever bought them, they
yet made large sums Of money, through the
generosity OF the Ring. There are now
hundreds Of newspapers printed which are
as valuclcss for advertising purposes as

rate, for they eXpcnd very little for white

may be printed by the million, and
thrust as a gift into every mans hand,
and yet as an advertising medium it may
be of no real value But paper which
has the confidence Of its readers, which at
tachcs them to it, and steadily affects their
opinions. provided its sales are great. is one
into which a wise business man will get his
announcements, even at large cost.
Vast sums of money are every year wasted
in advertising. simply from a lack of under

ness men. however. have much excuse for
their folly in this direction. Tho news

will give them for their money. They pay
