1T GOT BID OF CAREY.

According to the report, the BRUSH
Government had trouble enough with
CAREY, the informer, to cause it to re-
ioice, along with everybody else, that
he Is dead. The wretch was cheated by
not having the reward paid him for
which he had peL;ured his soul, and
seems to have been "ugly" in conse-
ouence, so that he was virtually forced
to leave Great Britain.
The fingers of Government which
had dntied itself enough heretofore by
payments of bride money shut the purse
this time, further than to pay his pas
sage abroad and that of his family.
II the Government had intended to
expose him TO private vengeance 1t
could not have managed better. 1t
saves the reward it promised and it Is
rid of the infOrmer. Its conduct may
tend, somewhat, however, to the future
discouragement of class of persons by
whom England has always been helped
to govern Ireland-the class of in
formers.

CONVENIENT rELEaRApHY.

The Geographic strike has become so
much q matter Of course that 1t has al
most ceased to attract special attention.
Business men who are somewhat Grip
pied by the lack of Geographic facilities
are becoming used to 1t and endure
their affiletion quite philosphically, al
most too much so, to aid the operators
In their stand against the companies.
Meanwhile the discussion of govern
ment control ofthe telegraph continues,
and that question will probably be the
most notable outcome Of the strike. II
may not be undressing in this connec-
ton TO note the rate of photographic tolls in
those countries where the government
CONTROLS the telegraph. In Belgium
messages are sent everywhere within
the kingdom for the uniform price OF
Of ten cents; in Switzerland, ten cents;
in Greece, eighteen cents: in France,
from ten to twenty cents, according to
the distance; in Baden and Neither
lands, thirteen cents, in Wurtemburg,
fifteen cents; in Italy, twenty cents; in
the North German Union, twelve and
q half to thirty-seven and half cents,
according to the distance; in Austria
and Hungary, ten to forty cents, &C
cording to distance; in Norway and
Sweden, twenty eight cents; in
Australia, twenty-five cents. Great
Britain wss the last of the European
nations to abandon the system Of pri-
vate management of telegraphs and
unite them with the postal service. In
that country the lines have passed I'M
der the control of the post office depart
ment, and the rates are uniformly with
out regard to distance throughout the
United Kingdom, twenty-four cents for
the first twenty words Of each message,
not counting the name or address Of the
sender OF receiver, and this sum covers
the delivery of the message by special
foot messenger within the limit of one
mile of the terminal telegraph Office.
While it might not be possible to obtain
so cheap telegraph service rs the peo'
pie of Great Britain enjoy, even if our
government should take control of the
wires, it is certain that the time pre-
dtcted by Senator PLATr when the tele'
graph shall be not only the rich mans
mail but the poor mans mail as well,
would be brought closer to Us by gov
ernmental control.

q parson was never heard OF before.
Whenever he protested against tue
matrimonial goal to which he was be-
ing driven, she ordered the driver to
stop at saloon and drown the BRIDE
groom's trepidation in foaming "lush."
At last her attentions were too much
for him, and he slept or presumed he
slept. He had no recollection Of the
minister, the ceremony, or the gay and
festive party that made merry over the
little stitch the widow had taken to her
side. She took him to her home. The
second day after his marriage he asked
for q release. He was refused. That
night he would have stolen from her
side while she slept, but was afraid lest
she should wake and make him drunk
again. The more he pleaded for free
dom the more she lavished the rich
beneficence of her affections and liquor
upon him. On the third day Of their
weddt d life she took him to the market,

There Is something so unique about
this courtship, marriage, and honey

to persons contemplating matrimony-

ANINNOyArION IN MARRIAGEs.

more queer marriage stories than
Chicago does startling divorce cases. A

TIE CONFEDERATE BONDS ONCE
MORE.

1t would be little short of a miracle II
Confederate bonds should ever be paid
even to the extent ola l0p per cent. COM
position, yet many less promising
schemes have been successfully worked.
The trouble is that they represent an
enormous amount of money. Upon
the day when the subscription books
were opened Colonel NAPIER, of Ma
con, Ga, drove to the bank, drew out
$4,000 in gold, and paid it over the
counter for fifty-seven $1,000 bonds of
the Confederate States. This was one
case of many. There are enormous
quantities of Confederate bonds held in
New York by parties who ought to
know better. Still other immense vol
umeS of them are held in London and
in Holland. Thus it is easy to see that
the biggest lobby and corruption fund
that has ever been seen could be form
ed upon this issue. The influences
which could be brought to bear in favor
of a composition will be the solid South,
many moneyed parties in the North,
and these foreign holders. The grounds
of paying them will be the preservation
of the credit Of the South, the desire of
healing the wounds Of the war, concili-
ating England, and especially the po-
tent American arguments of "sddition,
division and silence" acting upon men,
bers of Congress. The public has been
led up to this by all sorts of preposterous
and logic-defying appropriations, such
as the river and hsrbor and pension
gift enterprises. 1t will be moved by a
solid South, impoverished by the war,
FESTIVE under the pension tax, and anx-
ious to pluck the Northern goose.
There is the amendment to the Consti-
tuition in the way, but when did Con-
stitution stand against Congress? We
do not advise readers to put money in
to these bonds unless they prize them
particularly for kindling. On the con-
trary, We advise them not to. The
psper is poor, the printing bad, and the
obligation much worse than either.

keeping butter, the cream must undergo a
rpening process by exposure to the oxygen OF
the air while il is sweet. This i, best done
while It is rising The ripening is very tardy
when the temperature is low.
,. After cream becomes sour, the more
ripening the more it depreciaies, The sooner
il is then skinned and ohurned the better, but
it should not be chuned while too new. The
best time for Swimming and churning is just
before acidity becomes apparent.

sooner in cold water, and the milk will keep
sweet longer.

cream gets while rising
5. The depth OF setting should vary with the
Temperatures the lower it is the deeper milk
may be set the higher the shallower Il should
be. Milk should never be set shallow in a low
temperature, nor deep in high one. Setting
deep in cold water economises time, labor,

from the air. When the air is colder than the
cream, Il takes up moisture and whatever

the cream purihes the surrounding air; in the

the head for large fimness, and back of the
ears for large combltivcness and destructive

arms. The Greeks had long, straight noses,
and no people were Drawer, while the Romans,
and no doubt the Carthagenians, were much
indebted to the Phnnicans for their brdged
and bcakedface handles. Napolcon's nose
was but slightly arched, but his jaws were
massive Washington's nose was also slightly
elevated in the center, and he had massive
jaws which made him resolutc and determined.
General Grants nose is but slightly arched.
while that Of General Lee was short and almost
straight, showing viltalcnts in a marked degree
as well as a disciple of Mars. General Hancock's
nose is OF Lee mold, and demonstrates similar
characteristics Hancock is man who would
fight CALAMITY for a principle, and then show
large capacity rs a civil ruler or agent of the
people. Stoncwall Jackson possessed heavy
iron-sct jaws, and long, full, almost straight

was always selected by Napoleon for daring
enterprise. The nose Of a real civilian is
almost invariably Of moderate length, and run
ming from under the eyes in nearly straight

was arched, but he is an exception to the rule
