STAR ROUTE lRREGULARTTIEs.- WASH.
INGroS, November 23-Mr. A. NJ Glib.
son, the special attorney for the United
States IN the matter of the Star Service
investigation, has submitted a report
to the Acting Attorney General which
is today made public. The report is
very voluminous, and gives figures
showing the extent to which routes
were expedited by General Brady,
charging also that he deliberately ad,
vertised for Star Service on such sched
ulcs as to leave room for premeditated
increase of pay by means of allowances
for expedition, etc. The report pro.
ceeds to summarize the testimony IN
regard to the result of most of the
orders for expedition, and asserts that
in some cases the so-called expedition
actually delayed the mails, and that in
tho majority of cases no expedition
was accomplished,

PR0FITS OF LrEAVILY MANURLYG

A writer in the New York Tribun,
says the plats which his father ma.
nured SO heavily thirty years age
yielded far heavier wheat this year
than the other portions Of the field
From the yield Of one load Tailed and
threshcd by itself, he estimates the
produce as over 20 bushels per acre
"Onr clay" he says, does not soon for
get a heavy manuring" This fact i,
not unknown to many observing cult
vators Of the soil. The profits derived
from a heavy application of manure
are not to be calculated merely from
the additional produce of one crop
The Improvement of the soil from tht
good cultivation, and more still, from
the heavy manuring in one season
makes itself known in the increased
profits reaped by tho farmer in sue
ceeding years This is an invariablC
rule in animal and inanimate nature

light the pleasant announcement that
tho use Of the word depot is TO become

clumsy in their efforts to pronounce
French words, Even long usage does
not lend toward perfection in this re.

wretchedness. yhe correct style, IA

men who are in hurry, is ''deepo."
The man who is more formal and IN

His wife, If she is a lady of style, is

THE FARMER.

Whether to borrow the thought
from Emerson, that the farm owns the
farmer or tho farmer owns tho farm,
makes all the difference between farm.
ing as a drudgery and farming as a
learned profession, The eccentric Lo-
renzo Dow described in one OF his char.
acteristic sermons the life of the farmer
who is owned by his farm, and the
paragraph, resurrected, is again going
the rounds Of the press. 1t is good
enough to deserve new life in every
ten years: "Tho average Western
farmer tolls hard early and late, often
depriying himself Of needed rest and
sleep-ior whatl To raise corn. For
whatl To feed hogs For whatY To

For what2 To feed moro hogs. For

he wishes to raise more corn, to feed
more hogs, to buy more land, to raise

ings." Tho farm exists for the farmer,
not the farmer for the farm. That is
a very SIMPLE, but it is also a very
radical statement, and its application
would not only revolutionize life on
many farm, but would bring to an
abrupt end man an agricultural jour
nal and department" which is wholly
devoted to hogs and hominy, and has
little or nothing to say of man, his
wife, and his children. This state.
ment is equally true OF all industries.
The young man who, when he was
asked what profession he meant TO
follow, replied, "The profession Of man.
hood" bit a very profound truth. One
ought to have large capital of gen.
eral manliness before he embarks in
any special profession or calling. To
be simply specialist, lawyer, doctor,
merchant, farmer, or even preacher, is
to develop a finger at the cost of a.
hand. The man who is only trades.
man, no matter what bis trade may
be, has already assigned tho best part
of his stock in trade, and is a bank.

OUR COMMERCIAL DECA Y.

4 contemporary relates this notori
GUS fact:
And yet every year since the out.
break OF the Rebellion has seen q pro.
gressive decay of our ocean commerce
without any attempt on the part OF
Congress to prevent its utter dissolu-
ton. The London Times made, the
other day, the moderate estimate OF
ss0,000,O00 a year as the loss to the
United States from having to pay
other nations for the carrying OF Amer.
lean exports and imports. People in
this country often waste their sympa,
thy on the "down.trodden masses of
Europe who have TO maintain great
standing armies, yet not ono Of the
great European powers expends on It's
army anything like the sum which we
thus sacrifice to the incapacity of our
law makers, who make no effort what.
ever to stop that waste. Such n dis.
graceful state Of things, it may be
safely asserted, could not continue to
exist under any system of government
10 which responsibility was fixed and
recognized, The difficulty under which
we labor, however, is that while the
Executive branch of the Government
has no real power the Legislative
branch has no real responsibility. 10
England, on the contrary, the Queens
advisers are responsible to tho country
not only for the measures which they
bring before Parliament, but Tor their
failure or neglect to recommend meas.
ures that are important to the peace
and welfare Of the Empire.

OUR NEW TESTAMENT

As TO the revised version of the New

Hon, (for he is a member.elect OF the

which was neither English nor Greek
ard in which tho Incompatible style
ofthe English Bible had been sacri6ead
A layman denounced the omissions of
the doxology from the Lords prayer
as an extraordinary proceeding, op.
posed to tho uniform usages of all the
Protestant christrian churches of the
world. A New Haven Clergyman
Mr.. Harwood-whilo doploring the
omissions of the doxology, admitted
that the rovisers as honest men had no
choice in the matter, because it could
not be found in the text. A Vermont.
er-Mr. Rutland-denied that the OBJ.
lection to the erevision was a sentimental
one that would pass away with the
passing generation. Professor Good.
win, of Philadelphia, recognized in ii
some merits, but moro demerits and
many new mistakes, and gave an in.
ventory of what he considered purely
gratuitous and, as it were, deliberate
bunders Mr.. Henry, Connecticut,
leaned toward the revision as an i'm
provement on the King James version,
which he characterizes as "a faulty
transaction of a corrupt original. And
so il went on, up and down the gamut
OF praise or blame, the predominant
sentiment, however, being against the
adoption Of the revised edition.
