Cleaning Out the Sutlcr.

Tho army sutler was the soldiers best
friend and worst enemy. lie was looked
upon as M cxtortioncr, and therefore an
enemy, and yet lie was regarded rs q
friend who stood between the soldier and
hunger. There were occasions when
regimcntal wagons could not "get there"
but it was only on rare occasions that
the suffers wagons could not pull
through It is true, he asked q big
price for his cakes, cheese and canned
goods but he had taken big risks III
following the regiment. All things con
sidercd, the sutler did not deserve the
rcproach bestowed upon his calling. He
ran risks which only brave men take, and
his expenses sometimes devourcd his
profits, large "a they seemed. Very few
Of them made any great amount OF
money. and scores Of them were finan-
cially busted by raids and robbcries.
From first to last tho sutler was con,
sidcred fair game for any one who could
beat him, and when ho could not be
ifickcd he could be cleaned out. This
latter process was the darkest mystery
in army life. No one seemed to plan or
to lead, aud yet all seemed to under
stand. At a given moment from TWEEN
ty-fve to one hundred men would sud
denly appear Mt the suffers tent, or hut,
and 90 through him like hurricane.
The blow fell so quickly that there WINS
no dodging it, and the guards arrived
too late to make an arrest or save any
thing. ,,
At the remcunt camp at Pleasant Val
lev. in 1865, thirty men fell upon The
sitlers cabin about five minutes after
roll call. 1t was n stout log hut, SO,
curclv barred and bol,ed, and contained
800 worth of stores. The clerk,
young mau Of nineteen, sicpt within
armed with two revovers. There WINS
grand yell, n crash, and all was over
In five minutes from the first alarm
guard WIS on the, spot, but too late
The only articles left in the hut woul'
not have sold for $50. The clerk wa
outside in his night clothes, robbed
his arms and cash. and cheese, bags
, nuts. boxes of candy and cases OF toba'
, co and canned goods had disappeared
if taken up by the wind. A strict scare
! was at once begun, but not 30 much as
! n;ckeps worth Of the stolen propcr'
could be discovered. \ hundred mt
were suspected and questioned, but III
a one could be held responsible. Itw
a like the swoop Of a hawk, as full
o deadly vengeance.
+ In 1862, in Richardson's brigade
, infantry, sutler was cleaned out at noe

Few people have any idea OF the I'M

sumed under the name OF butter. There
are in Cincinnati, three oleomargarine
dealers-a man, his wife and mother
who stand in market and sell on an aver
age fully 900 pounds q day OF stuil
called butter but which is nothing III
the yilest oleomargarine. Barrels con
tanning this so.called butter are branded
"butterine," but they are kept well
back under cover, and the erich golden

the improvised counter and sold ut
figure considerably under the regular

comply with the law insofar as labelling
oleomargarine is concerned, hut "li'

This is only one Of thousands OF simila

which is not only an imposition on dairy

"The very air Is luminous with the spirit Of adj

When we consider the marvellous
achievements of this teeming age, We
wonder il the end has been reached, and
II Limitation has not been placed over or
iginality. But as the old and familiar
pass away, the new and wonderful con-
tinually appear. The march Of progress
since the world emerged from the dark
ages, was slow for centuries. But dur
ing the nineteenth century it has gone
forth with the rapidity of lightning and
with the force of giant. New applica-
ton hos been made Of old IDEAS in gov
ernment and in morals. The spirit OF
progress has breathcd upon all Of the
elements and converted them into new
factors in life. Medicine and theology
have been largely revolutionizcd. Even
law, ono of tho most conservative OF
professions, founded upon authority and
practced by precedent, shows signs OF
evolution. Chemistry, geology, arch
zoology, ethnology, have all been shower
ing upon the world the riches OF their
wealth. The travellers have searched

On tho It'll Of November, 1857, at tho

heavy thud and q sudden jar OF the

some vast body upon the beach, and IN a
few seconds the noise OF mingled voices
rising for milo along the shore thrilled
MS like the wall of doom. Instantly this
was followed by a like wall from all tho
native houses around us. immediately
ran down to the sea, where scene OF
wild ruin was spread out before me; tne
sea. moved by an unseen hand, had, all
on sudden, risen in n gigantic wave,
and this wave, rushing in With the speed
of n racchorsc, had fallen upon tho
shore sweeping everything not more
than fifteen or twenty feet above nigh

furniture. fuel, timber, canoes, 1000,

WHY NnyriisiS Prefer England.

The hard experience of American
authors makes the task of writing books
for the enlightenment or pleasure OF tho
reading public on this side OF the
Atlantic 30 uninyiting that the wonder
is. not that we do not have large class
of writer's, but that any one thinks 1t
worth his while to devote time and ut
tention to this work. An American
novelist commonly depends for his profit
on the sum he receives for the sale OF his
story to the publishers of one or another
of the widely circulated monthly period
icals. What they pay him is matter
of trade and the price given must vary
very greatly, though rs an average II
may be said that 81, 500 for story run
ming through from eight to twelve mum
bers would be n tolerably high rate OF
remuneration. After the work has np-
pcared in this form, it is the custom TO
