From General Grants account of
the Chattanooga campaign, published
in the November Century, we extract
the following: "There was no time
during the rebellion that [ did not
think, and often say, that the south
was more to be benefited by defeat
than the north. The latter had the
people, the institutions and the terri
tory, to make a great and prosperous
nation. The former was burdened
with an institution abhorrent to all
civilized people not brought up Under
it, and n which degraded labor,
kept it in ignorance, and e~nervated
the governing class. With the out
side world at war with this institution,
they could not have extended their ter
rit.ory. The labor Of the country was
not skilled, nor allowed to become SO.
The whites could not toll without be-
coming degraded, and those who did
were denominated poor white trash"
This system of labor would soon have
exhausted the soil and left the people

LIEUT.. SCHULTZ'S MISSION.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Secretary Bayard from
Lieut.. v. ". Schultz's e. S. N, who
was sent to Siberia last summe to
carry the presents and gratuities
awarded by congress to certain Of the
natives Of that country who befriend-
ed the survivors of the jeanette:
have the honor to report my az
rival here on the 2Ist inst, on my way
to the mouth Of the Lena river. lIy
route from st. Petersburg was the one
usually followed in summer from
Moscow, over Nishni Novgorod, Ka-
zen, Perm and Tinmon. From the
latter place to Tomsk the travel by
steamer occupied ten days. From
Tomsk the time was unusually long,
the roads being the worst known for
years. Owing to this unexpected de-
lay on the latter part of the journey, I
shall have to wait here until the win
ter roads open to 1akutsk, probably
in the early part Of November. [
shall then proceed to Yakutsk as rap
idly as possible, fit out the expedition
for the north coast, and returning by
the delta, try to reach Irkutsk before
the spring breakup. Cold weather
has now set in near Yakutsk, and the
only practicable summer travel by
boat is interrupted. Ihe usual visits
with the officials of Irkutsk have
been exchanged. The newly appoint
ed governor general Of East Siberia,
Count Ignatieff, is particularly kind
and courteous, and promises me all
necessary official assistance in my
journey to the north.
The letter is dated Irkutsk, East
Siberia, Sept. %, 1885.

REsOLUTIONsOF THECATTLEMEN

The committee on resolutions Of the
cattle convention at St. Louis, passed
the following:
After citing the burdens of the ami
NAL industry as inopperatiye, it re-
commends that a committee be APP
pointed to draft a bill to be submitted
to congress in the name of the associ-
alton, providing for the appointment
BY the president of the United States
Of commission Of five experienced
and practical stock breeders, to whom
full power shall be given in the mat
ter Of regulating quarantine and the
treatment Of diseases among cattle,
even to the extent Of purchase Of in
fected herds. Full power is to be
given them to employ veterinarians
in the performance Of their duties,
the commission to be under the su-
pervision of the commissioner Of ag-
riculture.

poor. The Observation-Disclosures would
have left the country, and the small
Stakeholder must have sold out to his
more fortunate neighbors. Soon the
slaves would have outnumbered the
masters, and not being in sympathy
with them, would have risen in their
might and exterminated them. The
war was expensive to the south as well
as the north, both in blood and treas
ure, but it was worth all it cost"

Commissioner Coleman's annual re-
port is out. It says one of the great
needs of the agricultural interests Of
the United States is a better under
standing and more intimate relations
between the several agricultural and
experiment stations, and a more prac-
teal cooperation between these in
stitutions and the Department of Ag-
riculture. The colleges endowed by
Congress are separately carrying on
experiments without any central
head through which to report and
compare results. He submits that the
Department should have full and
ample means to avail itself of the ad-
vantages offered by these institutions.
He favors the law authorizing the
Department to slaughter animals af-
fected by pleuro-pneumonia, and
strongly advocates the institution of
S'arbor days" in all the States.

Old Men Doing Boys Work.

The proprietor of a nut and bolt fac
tory in West Tenth street advertised
yesterday for 1.-TWO men from fifty to
sixty years of age to do boys work"
About twenty-five gray-haired men
gathered about the Office door at the
hour named, although it was apparent
that the two wanted would have to work
at boys wages.
1--WE wanted them to put nuts on
bolts,'' said an employee, 1--WE en-
p1oyed boys, but they were playful and
inattentive to work. We thought that
we might be able to hire old men, who
were unable to do mans work, at
about the wages, and so have employees
who would attend to the work better.
They sit at their tasks, which are easy
enough for girls to do. They make
over dollar day.''-N z. San. 4

BURMESE SOLDIERS.

A SlovenIy Army in Which Soldiers Re.
fuse to be Disciplined.
With all his deficiencies. the Burmese
soldier has one advantage over disci-
plined troops. He requires no commits
sariat. and is ready for service at few
minutes notice. a few pounds Of rice
and little gaoOi or ish-paste carried
on his person suficing for his very mod
est requirements. Notdefcient in pluck,
cheerful and obedient, and patient I'M
der physical hardship, it is found that
for sudden and short expeditions, to
chase rebels or to punish freebooters, he
is second to none. There were reason
able hopes, therefore, of making him
thoroughly efficient; but, in spite of
every effort, the experiment had to be
abandoned. The Burman is impractic-
cable as regards routine and disci-
pine. Drill is simply odious to him
after the novelty wears off; an incorri-
gible sloven, he can not understand the
necessity of keeping his arms and ae-
coutrements clean and in serViceable
condition. Marching to and fro on SEN
try is to him simply ridiculous; he can
not be reconciled to the loss Of his che
root, even when guarding 4 powder
magazine; and night, as he sagely re-
marks, being allotted by an all-wise
Providence as the time for sleep, he
does not understand why he should then
remain awake, even in cases where ex.
ira vigilance is required. Allowing the
widest margin, it is doubtful whether
Theebaw could collect more than thirty
thousand muskets. One third of these
are more or less arms of precision, such
as Remingtons and Sniders, while the
rest are of the Brown Bess'' pattern,
nearly all of which are sunserviceable,
and dangerous only to those who fire
them off Tosum up, the Burmese army
can not be relied on to deal successfully
even with flfbustering enterprises, such
as that which resulted in the capture OF
Bhamo, and would be altogether power
less against disciplined troops armed
with breech-loaders. So if the mandate
goes forth to make Upper and Lower
Burnah politically one country, as they
are now one geographically, it might be
carried out by military promenade,
with little or no bloodshed so far as the
results of collisions between the troops
OF the two States are concerned. No

THE HEN AND THE SWAN.
Raepipes in Medical Science.

According to the United States Gazette
a new use has been discovered for the
musical instrument of torture called the
bagpipes. Last year, it seems, Span
ish soldier was brought to the military
hospital at Havana in a state of cata-
lespy, and for fifteen months he showed
no signs of improving health. At last
the doctors ordered the bagpipes to be
played near his bed, whereupon the
man promptly recovered consciousness
and is now able to articulate. His first
words, I should imagine, were not
couched in the form of blessing; but
there may yet be great future for the
bagpipes in medical science. Their mu-
sic may be strongly recommended to
persons suffering from nervous or hys-
terical disorders. and, generally speak
ing, to malades imGgigardes of every de-
scription. Whether the disease or the
remedy is the worst must be left to the
Judgment of the invalids themselves.

RELIGIONS OF JAPAN.
shintoism, a Religion of Nature, spd the
Seven Happy Gods.

shintolsn, a Religion of Nature, eng the
Seven Happy Gods.
Shintoisn, o religion of nature, was
for hundreds of years the only religion
of the Japanese. It's temples, as seen in
pictures, were but shanties covered with
grass. They had no stone or wooden
IDOLS. The mirror was an object of great
reverence, because, I suppose, they
could SEQ themselves in it, and they
thought as much of themselves as OF
ANYTHING else in. the world. Such per-
sons still live and are confined to no
special country. They defied the forces
Of nature. Raiden, the god of thunder,
lived in the clouds and beat his string OF
drums. Futen, the god of the winds, IS
pictured with large inflated bag on the
back of his neck, both ends of which he
firmly grasps. When he relaxes his
grasp the wind escapes, and there IS
storm, and when he tightens his hold,
calm follows.
The Seven Happy gods in the pictures
are an interesting company. Fukoruku
jim, the God of long life, has forehead
so high that barber, to shave the top
of his head, must climb up on a ladder.
1t takes a good deal of brains to counter
act diseases and keep people in health,
| so as to insure long life. Diakoku, the
rice god, sits on throne of rice bags
and pets the rat, the very animal that
DESTROYS his rice. So like some men
who love the sins which wreck their
fortunes and souls. Hotel, the god OF
contentment, is very fat and so sloVenly
that he is always unfit for company
a proof that the Japanese had low
idea of happiness. Bishamon is
the patron of fame and glory, and
his pet animal is the tiger. Men who
seek military fame and glory must cult
yate a tiger-like ferocity. Ebisu is the
patron Of daily food, and spends much
of his time fishing, which he, hike some
terrestrials, greatly enjoys. He is noted
for his patience, which is proved by the
fact that he can stand knee-deep in
water for two hours waiting for a nib
BILE. The only one of the seven who
never lays aside his dignity is Toshi-
toku, the patron OF talen5s. His pet
animal is aspotted fawn, and he travels
| around gOOu ueh1 4oL tnO pun POoS "
rewarding boys and girls who study
their lessons. He knows that talent can
not afford to dispense with work. Among
them is one woman, Betten by name.
She is queen of the world under the sea
and lives in ocean caverns, and spends
her time playing the flute and guitar.
The snake, strange to say, is her pet ami
NAL, and the dragons are her servants.
/ These seven jolly gods meet once q
year to hold feast and arrange the
marriages for the coming year. They
have great many skeins of red and
white silk, which are the threads Of
fate of those to be married. The white
threads are the men, the red the women.
At first they select the threads very
carefully, SO that good matches are
made. BY and by they get tired and
lazy, huddle up their work and tumble
the threads together carelessly. This
is the reason of SO many unhappy mar
riages." A visit to some of our divorce
courts would convince a Japanese that
these gods are lazy, careless set In
this climate Chicago Standard.
