To Correspondents.

We frequently receive letters for
publication with long preludes, tell
ing us what an excellent paper the
STANDARD is, etc., etc. These ex-
pressions are very gratifying to us, of
course, but we can't afford to bore our
readers by publishing them. Neither
have we space to publish prosey dis
sertations on the weather, nor the
opinions and criticisms of correspond
ents upon people and their
affairs, nor light, frivolous
gossip which is just written to
make out a letter. All letters made
up of the above features find their
way to the waste basket. We are
always glad to get NEWS, no matter
how small the quantity may be. II
you have only half enough to fill a
postal card, send it. If you have
enough to fill column, and it is nears,
send it. We would love to have as
much news as can be written on a
postal card from every neighborhood
in the county every week. To any
one who will write us regularly, we
will furnish postal cards for the pur'
pose, and send them the STANDARD
regularly without charge.

CULLIBILITY.

The wild phsntoms and shrieking cries Of
worthless humbug can make money by i'm.
posing upon the credulity and ignorance of
an honest public, and the supply of this
species of work seems more than an ade.
quate demand. The enunciation OF facts
facts that have stood crucial tests-facts
proven by brain force and tangible evil
dence should satisfy all laudable enterprises;
but the execrable practice of teaching false
ideas and doctrines for self.aggrandizemen
is truly reprehensible and should be scorned
by all classes f3H
When one house tells you that Iodide of
Potash is poison simply because their op.
ponents use it, and because they are pander
ing to your ignorance, as they suppose, you
should look upon all such as arrant frauds
and their remedies as unworthy of public
confidence, and if those who make such as
sertions do not know better, they are set
of unenviable ignoramuses.

the following special dispatch
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Repre-
sentative Neal to-day succeeded in
passing the bill making an addition
al appropriation of $4,000 for the
custom house at Chattanooga. Some
opposition was developed, which
provoked from Mr.. Neal one of the
most brilliant speeches which has
ever been delivered in the House on
public building bill. He con-
trasted the present condition of the
"pluckiest city" of the South, as he
termed Chattanooga, with what it
was during and for a short period
after the war, and succeeded in
presenting a most beautiful picture,
which brought him rounds of ap-
plause. His tribute to his city was a
glowing one and enabled him to
pass the bill.

THREE Congresses have Success
sively passed the bill putting the
Department Of Agriculture on a
par with the other executive depart
ments, and making the Secretary
thereof member Of the Cabinet.
The Senate also passed the bill too
Late in the last session for the House
to concur in the amendments. The
bill has again been favonbly
reported by the House Committee OF
Agriculture, and ought to be enacted
this session without fail. The largest
and greatest interest in the country
is certainly worthy of representation
in the Cabinet. The bill rs reported
includes transfer of the Weather
Bureau to the Agricultural Depart
ment. The change will materially
enlarge and increase this this service
and make it of a vast deal more i'm.
portance, and benefit the country
than at present.
