GENERAL LOGAN made speech at Utica,
n. Y, yesterday, the greater part of which
was devoted to the civil war and its remi-
niscences; to the danger the country is in
from its internal enemies, to the manned
soldiers, and to the women who smiled
when the soldiers went to war and cried
over their remains when they returned.
The General also alluded to the blessings
that freedom brought upon all the people
of the country. But he never said word
about the poor fellows in Illinois he in
duced to join the Confederate army, or
about the speech he made in the U. S.
House of Representatives in which he
prided himself upon being slave catcher.

would promptly compensate him for the

A NOTABLE CHARACTER.
The American Snob, with a Few Of his
Most Notable Pecnliarities.

The snob family is a large one. 1t
affects the city rather than the country.
1t shows itself in SO many ways and
under so great a variety OF circum-
stances, that a full and particular enun-
citation OF its peculiar idiocyncrasies
would fill a volumn. One member OF
the family assumes what it c%onceives to
be the airs and manner Of its betters;
another plumes itself upon its money,
looking down with lofty disdaln upon
others less favored by fortune. But the
moneyed snob stands not alone. There
is the old family snob likewise, who
claims superiority to the rest Of man
kind because he has heard that one OF
his ancestors drove a market wagon in
the early Colonial days. There are lit.
erary and artistic snobs, as we'll as
snobs engaged in trade and commerce..
A bully is always a snob. SO is the man
who talks loud in public c%onveyances OF
places with the view OF calling atten-
ton to himself. The man who, either
in public or in private, tyrannizes over
his wife, is a snob Of the first water.
If the wife ~tyrannizes over him he be-
longs to a different variety of the same
family. If he were a gentleman the
wife would probably not attempt to
wear the brooches. The man who treats
his friend to a twenty-five cent cigar
when he as we'll as his friend knows that
he cannot afford it, but it pleases him to
make a big show, performs a srobbish
action. The mar who dresses beyond
his means in order that the world may
late him at a higher monetary value
than he is worth, is another snob. So
is the man who blows or brags of what
he possesses, knows, has done, or is go
ing to do. He is a very-well defined
snoD who constantly praises his own be-
~longings-his wife, his children, his
house, his business, his horse--to the
implied d~isparagement Of the belong
ings Of the person to whom he is speak
ing. 1t is almost super1uous to remark
that your unauthorized snob never
moves in a public conveyance 10 make
for any other person, or rises to
offer a lady a seat. He is like Thacke-
rays pet snob, "a gentleman, and he
has paid his way" Nor does it ever
occur to your snob not to wound the
feelings of others by a rude personal re-
mark, a loud gaffaw at his own assinine
~vulgarity, or an innuendo of a cutting
or coarsely expressed character. With
out %lengthening a disagreeable subject
to the crack Of doom. it may be briefly
said that snobbishness is the twin
brother OF seltishness, and that it is some
times possible for a snob to become a
gentleman if he ries.-NeWY York Hour.

Risks of q Soldiers Life.

But what, after all, are the risks to
life in a battle such as Waterloo? We
can form some notion of this by a sort
of analogy, if we are content to accept
the statement of Marshal SAKE, said to
be q high authority Oh such matters,
who lays it down as a truth, that for
each man killed in battle the weight of
an averagcd-sized man is expended in
lead. This is said to have been verified
at Solferino, where the Austrians fired
$500, 900 rounds, and killed 1000 of the
enemy, which gives 1920 rounds per
man killed. Taking a bullet at one
unce weight, we have 1900 ounces, or
over eighteen ~stone-about equal to one
average man and a half; so the Marshal
was under the mark. If these figures
are reliable it would seem that in battles,
as with %pugnacious dogs, there is noise
out of ali proportion to the amount of
damage done. -Chana6ers' Journal.

THE SOLDIERS. HOMES.
Why They are short OF Funds-Aln Veterans
WclcOmed-A New Home to be Built.

The Soldiers Homes erected by the
United States Government for the bene-
fit of disabled veterans, are at Augusta,
Me-, Fortress Monroe; Milwaukee,,
Wis, and Dayton. OHIO. Maj. d. C.
Fulton, OF Wisconsin, q member, of the
Board of Directors of the Homes, in ali
interview on the subject of lack appro-
priatians for the maintenance of the diff
fcrent homes, and consequent curtail-
ment of expenses, admitted the correct
ness OF the report in the main, but de-
MED that the shortage was due to
extravagant expenditures In connection
with one or more Eastern institutions.
improvements had been made ONLY
where they became absolutel; necessary,
and the absorption of the fund appro-
priatcd by Congress for the fiscal year
ending June 80, was due solely to an in
crease of the inmates largely in excess
of expectations. Existing hard times
undoubtedly led many who had hitherto
been able to earn a living, to throw
themselves upon the generosity of a
generous government. Thus tie ex-
pense connected with the support of the
homes was increased beyond the est.
mates upon which the appropriation for
the fiscal year were based. To give an
idea Of the increase Of population re-
ferrcd to, Maj. Fulton stated that while
the Milwaukee home was built to ac-
commodatc 500, it in reality during the
the last winter months sheltered and fed
upward of 1000. All the other homes
were similarly situated. The amuse-
ment halls and all space that could bt
utilized was devoted to cots. None who
applied with proper documents or ere
dentials were refused admittance. The
increase i'll the expense of maintaining
these additional wards of the nation, in
volved an increase IN cost Of maiutan-
ance to the extent of fully one-third; and
what was true of Milwaukee was equally
true of all the other homes. Necessity
compelled curtailment, shut happily
everything has turned out all right and
the close OF the year will be reached
without the imposition Of actual hard
ship.
Maj. Fulton is Of the opinion that In
creased accommodations for army vet.
Grams are absolutely necessary, and be
lieves that within tile ne1t five years
. al additional home will be erected
either ll northern Missouri or Kansas
Meantime. as q matter of economy. Lt
thinks the existing homes will be en-.
larged to meet the increase Of demant
that is being made upon them.
