II Ia a remarkable fact that the general
appreciation In prices consequent upon
the revival Of prosperity throughout the
United States finds nm exception in the
cost OF literature OF every kind. This Is
emphaticaliy an era of cheap literature.
A Journal like the Philadelphia WEEKLY
TIMES the fifty twn numbers issued In a
year being equivalent to several octave
volumes, is easily within the reach Of the
most depleted purses. The WEEKLY

ture and biography, essays in popular

cal, commercial, religious, social and gen
egal interest are fearlessly discussed III

From these extracts you will be able to gather q
very good idea of what Professor Martens or the
Russian government wishes to saw ana on which
the opinion of England is apparently wanted NV
st. Petersburg. Some weeks ago the Pull Man
Gazette published short extracts from the PAM

suggestions. For more general expression OF
opinion on this really noteworthy work we shall OF
course, have to wait until after the publication
which, however. will not take place for some DAYS
yet The suggestion OF making the Hindoo Koosh the
dividing line of the two empires is, to impartial
mind, certainly excellent one. and now that
Afghanistan is likely to DO made all annex

street do SO? That is question which few weeks
may decide-although it will take lot of argument

such peaceable plans in view suggested by the
learned professor.

spirit of its laws If millionaire Wall street is
scrupulously paid, while farmer (soldier) in Wis

sore is produced upon the body polite The farmer
soldiers all the country observe this unjust leg
isation and their patriotic pride in their country is
deeply wounded. Better, ten thousand times bet
ter, for the best interests of the country that the
few hundreds of millionaires and capitalists of our
great cities sunk forever with their treasures
into the bottom of the great deep than the hundreds
of thousands of our brave farmers, mechanics and
artizans should be alienated in their affections for
their country through gross neglect and culpable in
justice. Do imagine that never again will
the country need the herosm of those who bear the
musket to from internal foes or foreign in
vasionsf Do we propose to resort in the future to
drafts the reliance of despots to raise army or
will we depend on our glorious citizen soldiers
For the reasons herein mentioned and for others
which might be adduced, we believe that even the
narro,cest policy would dictate prompt justice to
our soldiers.

The Policy of Paying the Bounty Debt

The conquest of Mexco-for such it really was
by the handful of soldiers numbering all told we
believe not eighteen thousand men actively march

among the most wondrous of the trumphs of mod

these acquisitions. Leaving out, then any ques
