SIR: On the 3d day of May, 1861. the President issued his proclamation call­ ing for forty-two thousand and thirty- four volunteers f<>r three year*. On the 4th of May. 1861. General Orders \To. IS were issued, providing for the I organisation of those volunteers into | .forty regiments and promising a bounty,of one hundred dollars, in ad­ dition to travel pny to his home, to each enlisted man, when honorably llis- clMtrged from the service. Tho promise was only made to the Innteers called for In the President's proclamation, hut as eighty-two regi­ ments were offered a:id accepted be- t lie passage of< the law of .Inly 33, fore 1861, the enlisted men of which were alike equitably entitled to the bounty. Congress passed an act. April 22. 1873, to place tlioseenlisting for three years, before July 22. 1361, upon llie-same footing a« to bounty, to wlrch tlie ac­ counting officers have given the follow­ ing CO u«truction, under authority from the War Department: All volunteer* who enlisted for three years prior to Juljj 22, 1861, aud were mustered into the service for three Heart before August 6,1861. are entitled to the hundred dollars bounty, if they have been honorably discharged and have not received the B*tue for such service. Those enlisted and mustered as above, who were dhc.harged jot pro­ motion, ftre not entitled in bounty, as such dlsehhrge Is not a muster out of service, as is contemplated by General Order No. 15, 1861, under which the contract was made.

Ho resigned from the army, practised law at Bata- via. and was District-Attorney of Gen­ esee county for nine years. in 1851 he removed to Rochester, aud in 1861 he re-entered the artnv, serving In the Peninsula .campaign. From 1862 to 1864 lie was Military Governor pr Wash­ ington. In 1864 he was breveted Major General for gallantly at MalVern llill; and ill that year he resigned from the army on account of ill health.

As you Invite "we jjns" around your cam {Hires, I haVd* an experience 1 thot|ght at the time too good to be lost, and it stuck hy me even over the '.last ditch." for our hoys were as yours, when they got a joke 011 any of the of­ ficers (or men) they never let up a mite. It was nt my own expense, too; Shortly after, reach in a: Port Hudsou I selected try encampment, and estab­ lished my headquarters on the road leading to Clinton. One of the boys, for the want of better employment, executed a very neat signboard.In large letters: ••Headquarters--th Regi­ ment. JW-kausas Volunteers, R. H. Crocket t. tWunniaiiding." and nailed it to a tree, fusing llie road. My attention was first called by seeiug people stop in passing to read it. and 1 ordered it to be taken down. Missing it a day or two after wards. I supposed my order had been observed, anil thought no more of the matter, until rather un­ pleasantly reminded of It. I was sit­ ting one evening in front of iny tent, in company with some brother officers, when a lean, lank specimen of the country gentleman rode up, dismount* ed. and, hitching his 'critter,' ap­ proached the crowd, and Inquired: "Is any of you gentlemen Colenel Crockett ?" "That is my names, sir." "Well, colonel. 1 came in tf»«ee If you was ready to pay for those chickens?" "Chickens! I presume you are mis­ taken. sir." "Nary time, colonel, and you'll save 11011 bio it you'll pay up." "But my friend. I never bought any "{ chickens from yon." ' Well. 1 iidn't say yon bought colonel, but you cart't say you didSit git 'em. "But 1 do say that I didn't get them! Never saw you in my--" "E^sj*. colonel, easy. I'll leave it to these gentleman. Aint this your sign­ board ?" hauling it from the breast of his coat, witli a knowing look iu his eye. "Admitted, sir; what then?" I,asked "Abu this yojir name on it?" ( "Wel l , what "then?" "Well, just this: la*t night, when me «nd 111 y old woman went to hed, Kit re was tlflrty-two hen«, besides the old rooster, in the hen house, and When we got up this morning (and then it was nigh sun up, ftj£ we waited lor the old rooster to crow tor day.) there was nary darned chicken on lli« place, huf this here signboard was stuck up 011 the hen hou$e door; and as its got your uam<t on it, why, it stands to reason you tuck the chickens." Amid a perfect roar of laughter from my companions, I "paid up." The old fellow counted his money, and handed tn« confounded slguboard «rt»f the army having crossed the river, the conversation terminated. GENIUS, MOXhT, LABOR. Tennyson can take a worthless sheet of paper, and by writing a poem on it, make It worth 85,000. That's genius. Mr. Vanderbilt can write fewer words and make it worth 850,000.000. That's capital. The United States govern­ ment can take an ounce and a quarter of gold and stamp vpou It an "Eagle bird" and make "twenty dollars." That's money.

The ditch digger works ten hours a day. and shovels out throe or four tons of earth for 81. That's labor.--Rach^nge, . "receipt." Mounting his horse, he startep off, but turning in his saddle, he drawled out: "Good-by colonel. When yon come a'.raiti, leave the old rooster and the seMtn' A*a*, and dtm'( forget your tiffn.""

The officer then turned to the eldest daughter, whom , he reooguized as a mother, and asked her, "Madam, where is your husband?" "That is none of vonr business, sir." "But It Is my business; where Is lie?" "Where I hope I will never see him. and where I hepe you soon will be." "Where Is that?" "Why, a prisoner fn the hands of the army of. the Gap."

"Yourcorrespondent has successful­ ly been through two of the «o called 'civil service examinations.' and iti neither instance was he called upon to answer a single question that re­ lated In anyway whatever to the du­ ties he was called upon to perform un­ der that'service, and hut ono question was asked which would determine his capability or non-capability as a ser­ vant of the government. Not long since I heard one ol the bureau officers here, who has had a long experience ft the head of several hundred men, say that us a rule his exi>ericnco had been that the meu' who passed th«i most successful examinations were * ^ the poorest clerks, and. on explanation, , % said that the successful ones were those who had received college edu­ cations. and were ignorant of business requirements, while just tho reverse was .true of t lie other class. One class does the work and the other draws tho tnonev expresses Just about the size of it. What is true Ih one branch of tho service Is equally so with the other*, aud if this abuse was extended accord­ ing to the idea of the Senator from Massachusetts I fear the tslvil service would fall into worse disrepute than stigmatizes It to-dav. Thluk of notice being given In Ottawa that the oflice of postmaster would become vacant on a certain day, and that a public ex­ amination would be held to All tho vacancy. Everyone would be allowed to compete for the place, and the ono that could tell where the largest alli­ gators are to be found and why they are found there or could guess tho number of miles the earth is from tha sun. would be the future P.

Eggs become musty from being packed in bad material; will bo* come inusty in cases, as a change of temperature from lower to higher causes the eggs to sweat, aad paper to become moist and taint theegga. Well- dried o ats a year old are the best for packing. Eggs become injured hy Jar­ ring in shipping, by mixing. Fresh eggs mix worse than those kept in cold storage. Eggs held in cold storage la the West should be shipped iu refriger­ ator oars la Summer.
