WASHINGTON, May 26.-Some time
previous to theinstitution of proceed
ings for his divorce, Major Nickerson
| applied to the war department for an
attested record of his military ser
vices. He assigned as a reason for
preferring this request his purposed
going abroad, and expected to visit
Egypt to witness the military
operations there incident to
the war then in progress be-
tween the English government and the
khedive. AS he was not a graduate
of West Point, he desired to use as
credentials an attested copy of his
military record. Although contrary
to precedent, the department acceed-
ed to his request. The papers were
prepared in The adjutant generals Of
flee, signed by Secretary Lincoln and
attested with the seal of the depart
ment. Major Nickerson did not go
abroad, but it now transpires the pa
pers were used on the trial for di-
vorce to establish the high standing
and record of plaintiff in the suit.
The committee to investigate the

Monopoly Begets MononoIy.

Monopoly is naturally Republican,
because the wealth of the county is
mainly in Republican hands and Re-
publlcanism has a monopolistic ten
dency. Perhaps it is hoped that an
everyday familiarity with the mon
ster's appearance will accustom the
people of the republic to that most
dangerous monopoly of all-the mo.
nopoly of centralized power at Wash
lngton. which seeks, through the aid
OF the minor moDopolieS it creates

RATHER PARTISAN.

AT the late meeting of the Army OF
the Potomac an address by Major
Martin McGlnnis was devoted mainly
to the losses of this army. He said:
From May, 1861, to March, 1864
the losses of the Army of the Poto.
mac were, in killed, 1920; wounded
IS $50; captured, 81, 1878; in all, 112,448
From May 1, 1864, to April 9, 1865
killed, 1850; wounded, $500, captur-
ed or missing, $4,000; aggre-
gate, 10000. From the be-
ginning to the close of the war,
killed, 27,720; wounded, 155,662;
captured or missing, 59,378. A grand
aggregate of 242,75O. Adding those
who died of gunshot wounds, the
number of men who lost their lives
in action in the Army Of the Potomac
was 1892, probably one-half of all
who died from wounds on the field of
battle in all the armies of the United
States.
This is much below the general
estimate of the losses sustained 10y
the federal forces of Virginia dur
ing the war. and there will
be many to question the accu-
racy of the figures given. The most
remarkable feature of the summary,
however, is the statement that during
the first three years of the war the
number of killed in the army of the
Potomac was only 2720 in excess of
the number of killed during the last
eleven months Of hostilities. This
shows the desperate fighting that
was done by the army of Northern
Virginia and the fearful cost of life
at which Gen. Grant won his final

MOUNT STERLING, KY, May &c.
For ten days past there have been
confined in jail here John Barrett and
ten companions, who are known
throughout this section as the Bar
rett gang, and are charged with MUIR
der, arson and various other crimes,
and are regarded as band of despe-
radoes. The feeling against these
men is very strong. and early yester-
day morning party Of one hundred
or more horsemen appeared be-
fore the jail, which was be-
ing guarded by City Marshal
Puncle and a posse, and demanded
admittance. This was refused and
the mob advanced upon the jail,
whereupon the guard opened fire.
Several shots were exchanged and the
leader of the mob and several others
wounded. Alarm bells were rang
and the Cerre Gordo Guards and many
citizens were soon on the spot. When
the mob dispersed, examination show
ed that the wounded leader who
was lying on the steps OF
the Jail, badly wounded, was
j. Ringo, sheriff of Menifee county,
Thomas Clark, wealthy farmer of
this county, and two or three others
Of the mob were wounded. Ringo
justifes himself in acting as leader of
the mob by saying that Barrett and
his gang are band Of bushwhackers
and guilty of almost all crimes, but
whom it has been impossible for the
courts to convict, and many of the
best citizens had determined to take
the law in their own hands and pun
ish the desperate men as they deserv-
ed. 1t was intended by the mob to
hang Barrett and several of the gang.
Ringo is badly wounded and will
probably die.

BEE-KEEPING is a science and can
not be acquired in day. 1t requires
practical knowledge and can only be
learned by study. and practice.
Much information may be gained by
reading, saving one from the many
pitfalls into which our fathers STUN
bled. The greatest trouble is that
each one thinks his an exceptional
case; that he can see just little far
ther than his neighbor; that he has
discovered something new; that GER
tain points were not duly considered,
and that this or that was overlooked.
l never have greater reverence for
the memory of my father than when
looking over the manuscript left by
him calling my attention to many
things which l must guard against.
Not unfrequently have / been con-
ceited enough, simply because the
reason why was not given, to think
that l was just little more capable;
paying the cost in the damages sus-
tanned. ! can only repeat his advice
to me: "To insure success commence
slowly. Begin with a few colonies;
increase your bees in like ratio to
your knowledge. If you can make
money with these, it win be safe for
you to invest in more.

Aid of Machinery to Labor.

dubuque trade JOIrnalI
Labor is a natural burden upon hui
locks the storehouse of wealth, con-
venience, and luxury. By the use of
invented and applied machinery mus
cular work is greatly relieved, and re-
suits cheaply and extensively obtain
ed. In all this, however, Intelligent
skill is not supplanted; but rather
there is a wider field created; for the
same, and more and more does it come
in demand as the facilities for produc-
ton multiply. Man, of course, may
exist as our forefatherS did, living in
a rude and limited way on the neceS-
saries of life, and even those secured
at the expense of oppressive toll; but
as improvements are made, and va
ried and enlarged benefits flow there
from, he rises in the scale of being,
and the sphere of life is extended.
The easy supply of want in any direc-
ton only begets efforts in others; and
as matters thus progress, instead of
the demand for useful industry being
diminished, there is more and more
inducement to labor rs to employ
themselves with the exercise of every
faculty.
1t IS mistaken view, therefore, to
imagine that there is the least ten
dency in the use of machinery to
supersede the necessity of workmen,
and take from them all opportunity
to labor. Their skillful hands, dis
corning eyes, and intelligent brains
are surely destined to find an ever
widening field. Of course, the work
er must not remain stationary, con-
tent to live and die an antiquated fos-
sill, while all the world about him is
changing and progressing. What he
once did painfully and slowly with
the hands alone he must now more
abundantly accomplish through the
agency of labor-saving devices and
tools. Society has need of more
production. and will only be satisfied
with more and more. With it's pros
perity and progress the laborer shares;
and to-day he has more of the COM
forts and luxdries of life than were
enjoyed by kings hundred years ago.
The prejudice against Improvement,
and the jealousy against capital and
associations IN their efforts to manage
and direct production into more eff
ficient and beneficial channels should
disappear. AS changes occur old
ruts should be promptly abandoned.
By adapting himself to circumstances
as they are thrust upon him, there is
not a man who cannot succeed and
find a market for his labor far beyond
his ability to supply.
