GETTING MONEY

The most unfortunate day in the
career Of any young man is the day
on which he fancies there is some
better way TO make money than to
earn it; for from that feeling spring
the many extravagant and visionary
schemes which are INDUCED in for
the purpose of gaining a livelihood
without labor. When q young man
becomes thoroughly infected with
this feeling, he is ready to adopt
any means for the accomplishment
OF his object and if frustrated and
he is foiled in his efforts upon the
very crest of the wave which he has
already mounted, and in full view,
is the temptation to crime, to shield
him from disgrace which he thinks
must inevitably follow in the wake
of defeat. To those he yields, and
the first thing he realizes is to find
himself the violator of the law,
criminal in the eyes of the communi>
~, and an inmate of the prison,
waiting trial, all brought about for
the want Of a little manly firmness
ia the out set of life to prompt him
to choose an avocation in life where
the penny earned would bring with
it its sure reward. Then let our
young men spurn the idea Of obtain
ing money without rendering an
equivalent; let them be willing and
ready to occupy positions in life
which will give them tho best possi~
BILE opportunity to develop their nat
ural talent, and do good to others
while helping themselves, In this
way we may have nation of noble
men and women, which will be a
source of profit and pleasure to US,
and an object of wonder aud admira-
ton to the world.

PRESSED FLOUR,

A French chemist last year ex-
posed q quantity of -four t. by
draulic pressure of 300 tons which
reduced il to a fourth Of its original
bulk, without impairing the quality.
He packed portion of it in tin
boxes and sealed them up, doing the
same with Impressed flour. When
opened in three months, the former
was in better preservation than the
latter. When baked into bread, the
pressed article was decidedly Supe-
rior. After the lapse of a year 9TH
err cans were opened, and thu un>
pressed -four had become spoiled,
while the pressed remained sweet,
and was excellent when bak ed.

SOME thieves, who manifested re-
markable ingenuity, have lately been
caught in the Crimea. They opera
ted thus: A thief was locked in an
empty trunk by his mates; the trunk
was sent to the railroad depot as the
baggage of passenger, and put in
the baggage car; one Of his mates,
who claimed the baggage, took pas
sage in the same train to the next
station; as soon as everything was
quiet in the baggage car, the thief

out; he rausscked the rest of the
baggage and put in his own trunk
such valuable articles as we're availa-
bic then be crawled back to the
trunk and locked himself in, and, on
reaching the next station, his mate
took off the trunk as his baggage,
and they proceeded to secure their
plumber. The gang OF Russian thieves
who concocted this scheme managed
to carry it on successfully for some
time: but at last, on the occasion of
one adventure, the thief in the trunk
took in with him such an amouat Of
stolen goods that the trunk burst
open at an unfortunate moment
The method Of operation was discov.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR.
WASHINGTON. June 10. 1879

WASHINGTON, June 10, 1879.
The House yesterday passed the gen.
eral appropriation bill almost unanimous.
ly. only 81 Democrats voting against it,
because they believed it to be back
down, as it is. The motive of the DEM
ocrats and Greenbackers who voted for
it, is thought to be purely mercenary,
and that overoomes their bitter dis.
appointment. Without the bill they
would be without their pay for six
months at least, and that is a strong
incentive to action by the average Dem
ocrat. They have partly oiled the back
down by Incorporating in separate bills
the clauses prohibiting pay for election
supervisors and marshals, and other
points which may be objected to by the
President. The bill as passed is SUBJ
stantially like that of last year with the
exception of the omissions noted as nee
essary by the taking of the census and
the arrears of pension bill. The Senate
will also pass it promptly probably.
The next bill to come up is the sup
Elemental bill for judicial expenses. I"
1t is new dodge in legislation to take
this out of the general bill, but it was
necessary for democratic purposes. To
it are attached the prohibitive clauses

After three months toll the legislative
bill, without the fatal partisan riders
was passed, on Monday, in the House
by a vote of 1873 yeas to 81 nays-the
nays without exception being democrat
ic. The bill is not exactly what the
republicans desired, but they had de-
termined to support it, as the best prac-
ticable thing, and they voted solidly for
it, to the evident surprise of the ex-Con-
federates. Previous to taking the vote,
the republicans made a protest against
the form of the bill, and so were expect
ed to vote against it; but when the
call was made, every republican respond
ed yea; and the bill went through. 1t
is reported that the bill, if passed by
the Senate, will be approved by the
President. And what has been the pur.
pose of all this long struggle which now
ends as it begun-in impOtency Simply
to create capital for the next Presiden
tial campaign. The ex-Confederate
have put themselves on record as the.

and accept the coming doom, as in $50

Butler will make another attempt to
capture the State Convention Of Massa-
chusetts Democrats and secure the regular
Democratic nomination for the Governor
ship. To that end he appears to have
been working untiringly for months past,
and he has succeeded in capturing enough
township and county organizations to
seriously alarm the Democratic leaders,
and give to the Republicans the prospect
of another easy victory. Whatever may
be the result of the contest, however, it
seems to be assured that the Greenback
vote, in regard to which there was SO
much speculation and anxiety last year,
will not be worth more than passing
consideration. The success of resump-
ton has evidently made most of the
soft-moneyed men despair Of the success
of the financial notions on which they
declared the salvation of the country to
