V JfiTThe Court of Inquiry convened In Chicago to investigate the conduct of Major Reno at the battle of Little Big Horn, was Investigated through the Introduction of a letter from Frederick Whittaker, who Is gathering materials for the biography of Gen. Custer,and claims tha|* the massacre of the bratffe General and his command was owiug principally to the coward­ ice of Maj. Reno, and his disobedience of orders. The Court of Inquiry was appointed at the request of Major Reno, and all the facts in the terrible aflair of June 25, 1876, will ^doubtless fully develop and attach the blame where it rightfully belongs. rate PENSION BILL, Aa act to provide that all pensions on account of death or wounds received or disease oontracted in the service of the United States during the late war of the rebellion, which have been granted, or which shall hereaf­ ter be granted, shall commence from the date of death or discharge front the service of the United States, and for tiie payment of arrears, pensions, and other purposes. Be it enacted, ctc«, That all persons which have been granted under the general law regulating pensions, or may hereafter be granted in conse­ quence of death from cause which orig­ inated in the United States service during the continuance of the late war of the rebellion, or in consequence of wound*, injuries, or disease received or contracted In said service during said war of the rebellion, shall com­ mence from the date of discharge from said service of the person on whose ac­ count the claim hss been or may here­ after be granted, or from the termina­ tion of the right of the party having a prior title to such pens ion: provided, the rate of pension for the Intervening time for which arrears of pension are hereby granted shall be the same per month, for which the pension waaorig­ inally granted.

In all the conditions of life, and which has successfully been put in practice by many, has found a parallel In the fol- ftfrwinfe: "It is never too late to learn." We all, every day, around us. see men pursuing their avocation in their re­ spective spheres. The mechanic, working at his bench; the artisan, de­ vising some ingenious contrivance or bringing in shape some ideal concep­ tion. Physicians, lawyers, men en­ gaged in merchantile pursuits, a]] have labored more or less assiduously to per­ fect themselves in their trade or In their profession. Not one of them, that is of the rational, right thinking class, is imbued with the idea that he is the complete master of his profes­ sion. Every day will biing to light new ideas, new modes of accomplish­ ing the same objects; results unthought of before are achieved by some novel piece of mechanism; erroneous ideas are corrected, and antiquated customs are dropped altogether, to give place to other usuages more in accordance with the progressive spirit of the age. 9SrSenst thou much snow left o» the lagging; verily It is in front of the house of the slothful man.

No observiag peree«can have the care of a herd of cows long, without noting a great variance In the charac­ ter and dUpotitlon of the different animals. The famous Mrs, Partington once remarked, tSiat "there Is as much difibretKe In folks as there Is in any­ body,"--and it is j«ts^ so with cows,-- The feminine peculiarities that we are apt to note in our own kind may, many of them, be detected among the domestic animals. Some cows are so phlegmatic and good natnred that a moderate amount of IIS treatment does not seem to disturb their equa­ nimity. Others are naturally vicious, and will kick and hook without provo­ cation, There is another class that, while hot vicious, are so nervons that they may easily be made to appear ugly, and In time really become so, In consequence of rough handling and carelessness. It requires a consider­ ate and good dlepoeitloned man to manage snch cows and get along with them. They must be humored, spoken kindly to, and gently handled In milk­ ing. Swearing at them, or beating them, demoralises them fearfully, and makes them almost useless in a short time. It is often among the very best milkers and butter»makers that these nervous animals occur, and we cannot afford to have their value thus impair­ ed. No violence should be allowed among the cows at any time; but if yo« have Impatient help, or are quick tempered yourself, let some parson who doseu't get mad so easily, milk the nervous eow», A cruel man ought never to have fisrge of any atock whatever. ,;.vl Hoir A Salary Was ItolHi A'ifew days ago, during one of hit rounds through ids palatial hotel, the landlord of the Palmer House entered a room suddenly aud discovered a win­ dow-washer leisurely engaged 1B read­ ing a newspaper. Being very active himself he had no nse for a laay man, or one who slights his work. He dis­ charged the washer on the spot and ordered him to go to the offloe for his pay. The man obeyed, got his money, went to his room on the uppei floor at rayed htjtteelf lu his Sunday salt, packed up his duds and descended to the servant** apartment to take leave of his former associates. About this time Mr. Palmer entered, bnt did not recognize his quondam employee in his store clothes, "Here, my good man. yotr loOfc as though there was good work in you; do you want ajobf" The ex-washer, somewhat surprised, admitted that he stvod lu need of one. MCan you wash windows f" The man allowed that he could. **Well," _ said Mr. Palmer, uPve just discharged a man who has been doing that sort of work. I paid him only 920 a month, httt lf you take the place and go right to work I'll pay you 929." The prop^ osition was quietly accepted, and in half an hour the discharged employee was scrubbing away in iha mmm old room.--Chteago Time*. OUT OF A SHAHK S MOUTH.--In the United Service Museum, Whitehall Yard, London, England, are exhibited the jaws ofa shark, wide open, and en­ closing a tin box. The history of this strange exhibition Is as follows: A ship on her way to the West Indies fell in with and chased a suspicious looking oraft which had all the appearance of Miaver. During the pursuit, the chase threw something overboard. She was subsequently captured, and taken into Port Royal to be tried as a slaver. In the absence of the ship's papers and other proofs, the slaver was not only in a fair way to escape condemnation, but her captain was anticipating the recovery of pecuniary damages against his captor for illegal detention.-- While the subject was under discus­ sion a vessel came into port, which had followed closely in the track of the chase just described. She had caught a shark, and in its stomach was fennel a box, which contained the slaver's pa­ pers. Upon the strength of this evi­ dence the slaver was- condemned. TMi wrltteff account is attached to the box. ome short time ago we pub­ lished A brief notice of a new periodi­ cal. the ""fenn Tan Mystery" which had beenstarted by one Leon Lewis, along with his wife Harriet, well known to reader* of the New York I«^er,ai a prollfle' writer for that paper, of aenaational stories. Mr. Lewis promulgated su4h a generous prospectus, that we willingly gave him the notice he solicited. But alasf how are the mighty fallen! It U asserted by a correspondent from New York that he has gone to Europe before the seoond number of his paper could appear, and token with him Miss Julia Wheeloek, a young girl 16 years of age, the pretty nefve o.f Harriet Lewis.
