Tbis journal of late has published re-
petted instances of the startling extrav
agance of the White House, and that
Cabinet, which now counsels an in-
cteaae of taxation to -maintain their
owif royal stete/anit ioot eVery personal
hill for luiuries, which they may send
in sgaiaat the goremutait. 'It has al
ready shown that the wonld-be Chief
Jnstieo, now par excellence as Attor
ney General, the expounder of law snd
justice for the nation, comes to tbo
haign of 1600 for the cle-
hc sports st ‘die people’s -
expense.
But the Treasury Department, where
revenue estimates and deficiences are
calculated, and front whence Comes the
demand for retrenchment in public ex-
peditures, and a new tax for revenue
upon tea and coffee, puts to the blush
even the parvenue favorite of President
Grant. In that bureau of the Govern
ment, the extra sum of S10,000 is al
lowed for tempory and occasional clerk
hire, aside from the salaries of regular
employes. Fifty thousand dollars (think
of it) for stationary alone; 650,000 for
furniture and carpets, $50,000 for coal,
wood, tumblers, towels, pitchers, hatch
ets, etc., aud $65,000 for repairs of
wagons, care of horses, newspapers,
matches, (wonder they don’t bum up
creation) soap, (and yet they are the
dirtiest crew in Christendom) brushes,
brooms, (to sweep away the last vestige
of honesty in tho land) aud divers
other items.
In addition, it is said that these
bloated vampyres upon the Treasury,
included their private servants’ hire,
and washerwoman's bills, in the public
estimates. And yet the Secretary, the
head centre of the whole concern,
blandly informs the National Legisla
ture “that there is no possible chance
for retrenchment except by stopping
work on the public buildings.”. Verily
that Treasury Department, is indeed an
cxhaustlc-s treasure to those who pre
side over it. It is equal, or better than
the purse of Fortunatus, the magical
powers of Aladdin's wonderful lamp, or
that great and long sought for secret in
alchemy which would transmute the
baser metals into gold, and teach how
to make diamonds from charcoal and
other useless stuff.
To illustrate father how they utilize
it, we world state that the estimate for
repairs of all the Custom-houses, mints,
appraisers stores, and other public
buildings bclongiug to the United
States, was fixed the post year at $200,-
000.
Of this sum, forty thousand dollars
were sppropriated by the denizens of
the marble^paiaco at Washingtob,
which is the headquarters of the Sec.
rotary of the Treasury. So, also, of the
$275,000 asked for, to covet the cost
of “fuel, lights, water, ice, and janitors’
materials for all tbe public buildings in
tbo country,” fifty thoutarui dollars
were retained for the expenses (better
say stealage) of the favored habitues of
thq same spacious edifice. Besides this,
out of a contingent fund of $49,916 the
records of tho Treasury show $7,563
were devoted to the feed, grooming,
and hire of horses, and repairs of wag
ons, carriages, harness, etc., of that
single establishment. In addition to
this, the purchase of street car tickets
for the year amounted to $43,000.
OeStam has permitted'one two homo
carnage to be kept for the nse of the
Secretaries on official business, but,
-says'll* Tew Yotk Tribune, “it is now
ascertained, as in the case of the De
partment df Justice, that eight or ten
carriages are provided beyond that re
quired for official u&e, and that -they
arc used by the families of officials as
private carriagea.” Is there any cause
for surprise when the very fountains of
the Government are thus poisoned and
corrupted, that stealing seems to be
the one idea of the present Radical Ad
ministration, from the most exalted
official to tho lowest clerk in the land ?
Keep the facts before the people, how
ever. It is a long lane’ that has no
turn.—Macon Telegraph.

Bogus Butter.
Among the hellish inventions by our
Northern Brethring, daring the past
year, is one to make butter out of soop-
greasc. We had forgotten that'discov
ery until the following parapraph
from the New York Produce Exchange,
came in sight, and our wits were dazed
with the heading:
‘Oleomargarine.’—This manufac
ture or patent process for butter mak
ing is already of considerable magnitude.
It is stated that during the last eight
months 8,000,000 ponnds, or 4,000
tons, of oleomargarine havo been manu
factured in the United States. There
are two factories in this city, one in
Fifty-sixth street, making 15,000 pounds
daily, and one in Twnty-ninth street,
making 4,000 pounds daily. There is
a factory in Dryden, Massachusetts,
near Boston, that makes 10,000 ponnds
daily; a factory in Baltimore, Md., mat
ing 8,000 (Viands daily; the New Jer-
ae y Pairg Company^ making 10,000
pounds daily. This makes a daily
manufacture of 47,000 pounds, or 23-
1-2 tons daily, or au annual manufac
ture, if run to the full capacity of the
factories, of 8,577 1-2 tons per annum.
There are applications pending for
other States. These factories do busi
ness under the name of the Oleomarg-
ine Company. The stearine resulting
from this process is said .to be of su
perior quality.
Think of 47,000 pounds of this stuff
daily disappearing down the throats of
the sovereign people! It is almost too
horrible to conceive. And then, too
there are those co-operative associations
for making sugar and molasses out of
rags and old shoos, to go with this ‘oleo
margarine butterP Isn’t • it perfectly
fragrant? The Tats and rags of the
grooery transmogrified into . tempting
comestibles! The waste of the slaugh
ter houses, so long pursued as nuisances
endangering pestilenoe, turnedinto fra
grant butter “smelling of green fields
and pastures new.” Margery, the milk
maid, with her foaming pail, represen
ted by margarine.—some concern of cast
iron which grinds np stale scraps from
tho abbatoire—mixing them with foul
drugs aud gases and turningout bright
lumps of butter stamped with an ear
corn and warranted to deceive the most
experienced.
iltd Suicide.
In theiD*{)4(fii|ta ascent from the
lowerMimaktne > ''orguDiiftn seems to
have retained a large shale of the imi
tative element of the monkey, aud where
one man voluntarily goes off the hooks
others are likely to follow, until the
thing becomes epidemic. The most re
cent victim belonged' over in Lafayette
county. He wanted Miss Dalton and
she refused him. The young lady is
the belle of Tabor, and has caused more
war talk among the young men of the
neighborhood than the Virginias cap
ture has among Cuban officers. When
she goes to church a pious whirlwind
seems to swee&the neighborhood, car
rying all sus^iptible young men to the
doors of the sanctuary where she
worships. Among the most enthusias
tic of her admirers was Louis Irving,
the son a wealthy farmer. The girl
showed him no special favor, but he
was badly struck, and her cheapest
smiles sent him thrills of happiness up
an?hdown his spine. He told her the
condition of her feelings and she re-
jksted him A sympathetic friend laid
itfdown as his opinion that a woman’s
m*; Jeans aye, and Irving, on the
stren^h of it, got a very emphatic sec
ond rejection This used the poor fel
low up completely; ho took to his bod
and read melancholy rhymes. Last
Sunday he crawled to the church door
and, as his divinity came out, begged
her to listen to him. The thing was
growing monotonous to her, and she
flatly told him never to address her
again. Irving said: “You will never
see me alive again. Men sometimes die
for the things they love but can never
possess.” He started home with a
friend, and on the road drew a pistol
and said: “I am tired of life; I can’t
live without her; I know I nm going to
hell, if the Bible is true and there is a
hell, but anything to get rid of the
present. Goodbye.” Before his friend
could interfere, Irving put the muzzle
of the pistol to head and fired, scatter
ing Vus brains out upon the roadside.-*—

A Cargo of Silk Worm Eggs' Worth
$2,000,000—How They are Trav
elling from Japan to France.
One of the most- valuable consign
ments that ever passed across the con
tinent arrived at Chicago on the 24th
instant from San Francisco. One fright
car carried the consignment, which
was valued at $2,000,000, and which
consisted of Bilk worm eggs purchased
at Yokohama, Japan, by tho French
government, and which landed in San
Francisco on the 15th inst. These
eggs are about one-fourth tho size of a
common pin’s head, and of the number
in this cargo some idea may be gained
when it is learned that on this one car
there were nine and a half tons of eggs.
The cargo was Carried to New York
and thence shipped per steamer to
Liverpool.
Four Frenchmen accompany the pre
cions freight and, and will not lose
sight of it until delivered to the French
officials in Paris. The eggs are packed
in leaves, layer upon layer, and placed
in air-tight tin boxes, which are in turn
covered with matting. The car is kept
it a temperature below the freezing
point, and no light is admitted. The
matting-covered boxes are piled !on
either side. There is nothing to bo seen
bat mattinagafM^.^^ni»arjpea of the
boxes, says .Ji’.,.is certainly
not indicative of the value of their con
tents. This is tho first attempt yet
made to import silk worms via the
United States.

Cromwell’s Dispersion of the Bump
Parliament-
We copy from the old work now be
fore ns, for the benefit of such reoders
of such readers as have not yet seen it,
tho famous proclamation of Oliver
Cromwell dissolving tto Rump Parlia
ment. It is a masterpiece of terse and
vigorous utterance—happily accompari’-
icd, os it was by corresponding action.
If Old Noll had been addressing the
Credit Mobiliers and salary grabbers of
the Forty-second Congress he could not
have spoken more appropriately:
THE . NTERESTING ANNOUNCEMENT TO
THE “RUMP.”
It is high time for me to put an end
to yonr sitting in this place, which ye
have dishonored by your contempt of
all virtue, and defiled by yonr practice
of every vice. Ye are a faotious crew,
and enemies to all good government.
Ye area pack of mercenary wretches/,
and would, like Esau, sell your country
for a mess of pottage, and like Judas,
destroy your God for » few pieces of
silver. Is there a single virtue now
maining among you? Is there one
vice you do not possess? Ye have no
more religion than my horse. Gold i:
your God. Which of you has not bar
tered away your conscience for bribes ?
Is there a man among'you that has the
least care for the good of, the common
wealth? Ye Bordid prostitutes, have
ye not defiled the sacred place, and
turned the Lord’s temple into a den of
thieve:-? B7 your immoral principles
Mark Twain and the Ladies-
Mark Twain, at a public dinner in
Louden, recently, responded to the
toast “The Ladies,” and in the course
of his remarks said: “Ah, yon remem
ber, you remember well, what a throb
of pain, what a great tidal wave of grief,
swept over us all when,* Joan . of Arc
fell at Waterloo. [Laughter.] Who
does not sorrow for tho loss of Sappho,
the sweet singer of Israel ? [Laughter.]
Who among us does not miss the gen-
tje ministrations, the softening influ
ences, the humble piety, of Luerezia
Borgia? [Laughter.] Who can join in
the heartless libel that woman is ex
travagant in dress when we can look
back and call to mind our simple and
lowly Mother Eve arrayed in her modi
fication of tho Highland costume?”
The Hopkins Estate and Charities
The Baltimore Sun says in an obitu
ary notice of Johns Hopkins, that - bis
benificent projects and prineely chari
ties, as far as known, amount in the
aggregate, it is supposed, to at least
S5,000,000, nearly about equally divi
ded between the projected Johns Hop
kins university and the extensive gen
eral hospital and orphan asylcuu, on
which work has already been com
menced by tho trustees, in addition to
which Mr. Hopkins has also provided
handsomely for his relatives.
Mr. Hopkins’ estate in the aggre
gate is estimated at 88,000,000. The
principal items of tho estate are* the
value of two and a quarter millions of
dollars stock of tho Baltimore; and Ohio
Railroad Company, and one million of
bank stoek. Mr. Hopkins was a stock
holder in every bank in the city, except
perhaps some of the smaller ones, and
he accomplished much good for the
business community by his influence in
nerving them up in times of stringency
and panic. In addition to the above
