THE 8TEAMER, CHK.IP VlMi riNU CAKltflL »r; Under tills head the American Ag­ riculturalist calls attention to a swindle of petty detail, but large in the aggre­ gate. Eastern (Inns and others are ad­ vertising to furnish visiting cards at a price which does not cover (he cost of good card board. These advertise­ ments are directed to the young peo­ ple, an<i roeeive attention usually froin none but the young The iirst one or two orders from any locality are Ailed promptly, as a rule, and large induce­ ment's are offered to agents. In this way it often happens that some person in the vicii.ity consent* to act as agent ai!«! secures a cinu larger or smaller as tfrjM*u<rebe. • T.'u ua.aes aud ttu>u- ey are sent on, the advertising firm pockets the mone% and the agent is left to make good the loss of the pa­ trons who have ordered the cards. All this is bad enough, but the evil does not end there. The list of names secur­ ed in this way are turned over to the publishers of obscene literature, who use the lists in directing circulars, etc. The tirst advertisements for cards, etc.. frequently appear in amatuer papers where they escape notice, except among the youug. We advise all pa­ rents whose children have sent their uames for these cheap cards, to carefully supervise the matter received. It has of late Weeu more than ouce asserted that literature of evil teudeucy was more freely circulated among the school children of the country than ev­ er before. Ttieu we say look cut for such swindlers. Orders left fttthe Drug will be promptly attended to. H. Colby, Curtis A Wait*, McHenry, IIL, April 16th, 1877. The McHenry Brewery.

S. Cabinet. At Clin­ ton, East Feliciana and St. Frauuisville West Felecian colored men who have been appointed postmasters have beeu threatened with mob law if they should dare to take possession of their offices. The people say that they are not fit for the positions. A special ageut has been sent to investigate this open defiance of the governtueut. The department will give a thorough in­ vestigation and due weight to all such' charges, but not while its authority is set at defiance and possession is forci­ bly refused to the holders of Its com­ missions. The special agent is there­ fore directed to first install the new appointees in their efficea, and after­ ward report whether they should be removed. But if the communities pre­ vent a peaceable change in the tenure •r offices they will be temporarily abolished rec WHERE TO RKTKKNCIL tnissioner "Jones, of Jo Davtasa" y informed the keener* »nd guanfr a prison that the institution arrears 9110, and that they must -!i.

HOW TO l)8K MONRI. Mr. Brown kept boarders. Around Mr. Brown's tea table sat Mr. Brown,' Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Andrews, the village milliner; Mr. Black, the baker: Mr. Jor­ dan, a carpenter; and Mr. Hadlev, a flour, feed aud lumber merchaut. Mr. Browu took out of his pocket book a ten dollar note and handed it to Mrs. Brown saying: "Here, iny dear, are ten dollars towards the twenty I promised you." Mrs. Browu handed it to Mrs. Andrews, the milliner, saying: "That pays for my uew bonnet." Mrs. An­ drews said to Mr. Jordan, as she han­ ded him the note, uThat will pay for your work on my counter." Mr. Jordan handed it to Mr. iladley, the flour, feed and lumber merchaut, requesting him to give him credit for that amount on his lumber bill. Mr. Hadley gave the note back to Mr. Browu, saying: "That pays 910 on my board." Mr. Browu passed it to Mrs. Brown, with the re­ mark that that payed her the 920 he had proilatsed. She, in tnrn, paid it to Mr. Black, to settle her bread and pas­ try account, who handed it to Mr. Had­ ley, wishing credit for that amount on his flour bill, he again returned it to Mr. Brown with the remark that It set tied for that month's board. Mr. Brown put it back into his pocket, exclaiming that he had no thought a ten dollar bill would go so far. Thus a ten dollar bill was made to pay ninety dollars indebt­ edness inside of Ave minutes. Who •ays that geenbacks are worthless. fASUl NGTON CORK I^SPON DKNCB^ WASHINGTON, D. C.. June *th. 1S77. Decoration df.y ts more fully ob­ served in this vicinity than any other gala day unless it be New Years; and on some acconnts it is the most de llgh'tful lielidav hi all the year, while on others, of course, It is the most sad­ dening and gloomy of aH. "Time heals all wounds'Mt is said, bnt after Uiese twelve long years mothers and wives and sisters, (as we saw last Wed­ nesday) are still bowed down in mourn ing and heartache for the dear ones whose graves they helped to adorn There are some aches that never cease in tlii&life, some Wounds that never heal; and I think the striken mourn erswhoml saw. on Decoration day, weeping over the graves of their dear loved one» who were snatched from them in their grandest manhood and health, kaow of what sort of wounds and heartaches 1 speak when I say this. Ceremonie s were observed at several places in and near the elty. Those at Arlington Heights were the uiost im­ posing, the principal part of the floral ofierings being placed upon and about the granite monument which marks spot where the 2.111 soldiers lie buried in one large grave. This mouument is an immense square one, surrounded by cannon and balls. A cannon rests upon each of its four comers and these were beautifully wreathed and festooned.-- Nearly all the colored people of the city go there on Decoration Day as there are comparatively few who have the means of going on any more ^tlif- tant excursions, aud besides there the colored soldiers and citizens, who died during the war, are buried, apart from the rest of the great cemetery. These people are loyal and enthusiastic, as well as ambitious to make use of their American rights, therefore they decor­ ate with as much vim and evident en­ joyment as they march in a torchlight procession or fire off their 4th of July firecrackers. Nathan Goff, of West Virginia, was Orator at Arlington, Will Carlelon, Poet, aud Rev. Clay McCau'ey, Chaplain of the day. 700 soldiers are buried in the Soldiers Home Cemetery, two miles from tin city, and the decorations there are mostly permanent, which appears to meto be a much better and more fit­ ting way thHu to expend so much an before a single day Is done} At the eutrance of this burial ground (a a small cottage which serves as a resi­ dence and lodge for the keeper who has no other business but to cultivate and keep in order the grounds aud orn­ aments thereon. It is a lovely spot, the long rows of low, square marbles marking the graves of each soldier, resting there. Just now this cemetery is brilliant with bloom. The roses are in their full gloiy, and quite extensive preparations were made for the Decor­ ation Day ceremonies. A pavilion and seats were erected about the speakers stand, and all possible arrangements made for the comfort of visitors. The "old sehUers" take much pride in their '•Hfitua* am! in di - pei.chig hospitali­ ties to visitors. And weU they may, there is no pleasant*r spot to bp found anywhere than tills, and Improvements are continually going ou. All the di ii e ways are being wicleued and the angles changed into pleasant curves.-- There are over twelve miles of ditve on the place, all smooth, all shady, aud all most picturesque and pleasant.-- Very many of the trees are large and old and the shrubbery is largely im­ ported. The old English Ivy climbs upon the trunks of the large trees, reaching up well among the branches oftentimes. The ceremonies there were beautiful, several of the "Com­ rades" taking part in theia. The poem was written by Mrs. Marie Burton Greeue and most rflectually recited by Comrade John Williams, of Kit Carson Post, No. 12. The oration was deliv­ ered by General L. D. Woodsworth, of Ohio. Ceremonies were also observed at Oak Hill, Congressional, Glenwood aud Battle Cemeteries, and thousands went out of town on excursions to Gettysburg, Richmond, Harpers Ferry aud Mount Vernon. i It is the current report that Gen. Logan is to be appointed Collector of Customs at Chicago, Ills. iThere were quite a number ot applicants for the position, among them some personal friends of the Presideut. but it appears that he is particularly anxious to com­ pliment Gen..Logan in some substan­ tial way, hence the appointment. It Is generally believed that Gea. Logan will accept. Office-seeking still goes on, an<| a new rule has been published by the State D«r-artmeut which says that per­ sonal solicitation* for office will not be favorably regarded, as more careful consideration will be given to written applications with their recommenda­ tions, and the past record of the appli­ cant. It is said to be done in order that the qualificarionspf persons at a distance may be considered as well as those who are on the spot pushing their claims for office.

To dispose of certain absurd stotfe§U<» that have lately appeared in the publi prints, the Baltimore Gazette sftyl that President Andrew Johnson ordiifiK* ed the remain# of J. Wilkes Booth be delivered to his family, and thai , they sent John R. Weaver, a Baltimore.' ~ undertaker, to Washington to recelv^> them. A box was taken up from tluf' Arsenal building and delivered to him* ̂ It was found to contain askeleton wrap-» ped In an army blanket. On the right^ foot was an army shoe, but open at th top Its entire length, as if to accommo|\-f date a swollen foot. On the other wa^ a large cavalry boot. A reporter o the Gazette examined the bones in an above the shoe, and found that the Iegff^s was broken just aboye the ankle. Still^*; the identity of the remains was itotk • • 7 satisfaotcry e&tablfehed, especialiy-asft^/?' was no portion of the spinal ver^^y ^ tebrw missing, and no mark of any -- bullet upon them. A brother of Bouth^;^c was sent for who said that Wilkes h*dfc"^ his tootli plugged with gold in a pecu-s liar manner. He described the locatlen of the tooth, and drew with a pencil, the shape of the plug, which was of un­ usual size. The teeth were taken out and the tooth was found plugged as de­ scribed; The remains were buried in tireenmount Cemetery, in the same lot with his grandfather, father, and chil­ dren of the family. HQT* Queer Postmaster out •£ the False Bottom Post Office, in the Black Hills. He never has any postage stamps, but always tells the man calling for them that the gentleman on the out" side of the delivery who deals in sta­ tionary, has a few, which he will sell at five cents apiece for three-oent stamps, three cents apiece for two-cent stamps, and two ceuts apiece for one-cent stamps. The attention of the Postmas­ ter General is respectfully directed thitherward. aorlt takes the Sturgeon Bay (Wis.) Adwtcate to get hold ofstartling items.
