A New Pension Uir-V— ' The bill in¬
troduced in the Senate Monday, by Mr.
Ferry, to grant an increase of pensions
in certain cases, provides that /torn and
after June 4th, 1878, all persons who,
while in the United States military or na
va service, and in that line ot duty since
March 4lh, 1861, shall have lost ar. arm
above the dboiv or a leg above the knee
shall be onti led to a pension of $36 per
month, and those who have lost a leg be

Thk IIog Crop.— The Cincinnati Price
Ounent, summing tip the winter’s opeia
ting in pork packing, says :
Our table below’ shows the total pack¬
ing for the winter at the six large cities
to have reached approximately 4,48o.OO ).
This exhibit may be modified or enlarged,
by final returns, but no essential change
is to be expected. This shows an in¬
crease of about 1,200,000 hogs packed at
these places. We have no gen ral infor
malion as yet from interior points, tvhicb,
it may be safe to say, have likely packed
about 1,800,000 head. We shall offer
complete information as soon as it is pos¬
sible to acquire the same from the 500
\ ticking points in the West. The quali¬
ty of ’.logs during the winter has been
excellent ns a rule, and weights will like¬
ly show from six to ten pownds increase,
while the total number packed will ex
eced any previous winter more than hall
a million hogs.
Stopping tiik Cotton Mills. —The
Eastern cotton mills are maiming a
Scheme to stop the cotton manufacture,
and compel a rise in prices by a scarcity
in goods. This was bought about by a
break-down in juices at the New York
auction sales on the 23th ult. A New
York dispatch of the 1st instant says:
There was considerable excitement in
the dry goods trade yesterday, owing to
a break in prices of cotton shirt ing prints.
Latge sales were made at reduced prices.
American fancies declined to cents,
and cretons 5® cents, shirtings 4| cents,
net robes 5j cents, net garden, fancies 5
cents, and Conestoga 5£ cents. It is be¬
lieved tins will lead to curtailing produc¬
tion at Eastern priilt works. It is said
that nearly all the cotton and woolen
mills have been running full time, and
agents selling enormous quantities of
goods, but ot very small profits.
The poverty of the people is crippling
tlie cloth markets.
A writer in the Berrien county JS T acs
gives a most encouraging account of the
increase in Lhe turpentine business in
that region. Messrs. "Woods of Caroli¬
na, have 100,000 boxes cut and are hard
at work with 40 hands tapping addition¬
al trees, and near by Messrs, Parcler &
Ball have an extensive farm also, while
two miles larther off Messrs. Cobb &
Cobb of North Carrolina, run another
large farm and distillery. Some of the
natives to have taken the tar heel fever
and are pitching into pi'ch and terpen" 1

Free thinking has for its logical result
free acting. An old gentleman
stiuek the keynote of the world’s com¬
mon sense in this matter, lie said to a
visitor. ‘Do you believe in God, sir V
The reply was. ‘God is a notion of some
superstitions people, which men of
thought have long since abandoned.
‘Very good, sir ; and may I ask it you
believe in the ten commandments V ‘No
sir,' was the reply ; ‘they can be demon¬
strated to be t tie offspring of a barba¬
rous age.’ The old gentleman rang bis
bell, and when the servnt appeared, said,
‘John stand by the bat rack until this
person goes. Nothing is safe when a
man neither believes in God nor the
devil.’
Congres has 5,000 bills on its bands.
In addition to Congress we have a Leg¬
islature on an average for every 1,000,
000 of population. Each Legislature
averages about 1,000 bills. Altogether
there are somewhat over 40,000 bills
proposing new laws now in band, which
gives one bill to about every thousand of
th§ population of the country. In ten
years in this country «p turn out about
one third of a million of new LvVs. No
wonder the cry is heard in the land that
we are being legislated to death,— Cou

HOMESTEAD AGAIN.
Mr. Editor —I am sorry Irieml Strc—
bor /ailed to come to time, for if I have
any foite in writing', it is in a retort; but
I must assume that he begs the question,
and will proceed to finish up my ideas
on homestead and bankrupt laws.
I claimed, and will try to show, that
while it is lawful for a man to take the
benefit of these laws, or settle with bis
creditors at a discount, that it is not ac¬
cording to Christianity. With equal
piopriety it may be claimed that retail"
ing whiskey, horse-racing, gambling,
cheating and defrauding, as practiced
among us is light, for the law either li¬
nens it or ignores these acts. Will any
man dare claim that any one fol owing
up these wicked practices, are acting in
aceord with religion as taught in the Bi¬
ble ? Well, why not ? If it is right for
a man to get his neighbor’s meat and
meal, or other merchandise, for nought
legally, i. e„ by taking bankrupt or other
exemption, is it not just as fair to get his
money, or other things, by giving whis¬
ky in exchange, or fooling him out ot
it I It is all legal. I cannot, for the
life of me, see any difference. Does any
man for a moment belive that the man
who follows any wicked practice, how¬
ever legal, can lay his band ou his heart
and avev that be loves bis neighbor as
himself? Surely uot; nor can be believe
for a moment, that the man who supports
bis family and lives fine at other people’s
expense, if it is sanctioned by law, loves
his neighbor as himself. There can be
no middle £ round. A man must do right,
or wrong. If it is right for Christians to
bankrupt or homestead ard defraud nv n
of iheir money, in any way, let it so be
entered in cur church creeds, and let the
man who sells whisky be enrolled among
the blessed, for they are both legal.—
We are uot to be judged in eternity by
what men say of our acts, but by the
Word of God, shall we judged. St.
Paul, chapter 8, 13th verse, of 1st Cor.,
says, ‘If meat makes my brother to ot
teud, I will eat no flesh while the world
standeth.’ Now, if the great Apostle
held godliness in so high a light that he
would compel the physical man to do
without meat, ought not the Christian ot
to-day be n illing, yea desirous, to pay
his debts to the last farthing, rather than
give offense ? Our blecsed Saviour says,
in Matt, 18c and 6th v, ‘But who shall
offend one of these little ones which De
lieveth in me, better for him that a mill¬
stone were hanged about, his neck and
•hat he were drowned in the depth of
the sea.’ Now, if a professor of religion
or member of the church takes the ben¬
efit of these laws, or in’any way fails to
settle his debts to the last cent, does he
uot destroy confidence, and thereby
throw a stumblingb'oek in his neighbor’s
way? We are all short-sighted mortals,
and when we see a man, of whom we
had a right to expect better things, tak ¬
ing advantage of these obnoxious laws,
or in any way fail to keep his promise to
pay, to the last cent, it lessens our confi¬
dence in men ; but most ot all, in religion.
We often forget and are led astray, and
excuse ourselves on the ground that Mr.
so and so, done so, and why not I ?
Mr. Editor, one word and I am done
with the subject. My only object in
writing these articles, is to try and influ¬
ence my fellow men to so act as to re¬
store confidence in religion, morals and
society, and if I have written anythin”
to cause them to thiuk, and especially,
that has caused them to slop in their
giddy race after gold, and let their light
so shine in the future that there shall be
no cause for stumbling, I sha'l have gain
ed the loudest desire of

h bat was a curious will David Harri¬
son, a Brooklyn lawyer, left behind him,
on his death the other day. A man of
large property, after providing for his
nearest relatives, he leaves an estate of
two islands twenty thousand dollars
to his trustees forever to provide for two
white female orphan children, who shall
have neither brother nor sister, lie pro
poses through his will that his administra¬
tor shall select the two children and rear
them in the luxury incident to the revec
nue of the estate set apart, and w hen
they shall have married or reached the
age of twenty-one, two others shall be
found, and the charity thus perpetuated
until the crack of doom. Of course, the
will is to be contested by the widow.
Staunton, Virginia, with a population
ol 10,000 consumes an average ot nearly
100 pounds of opium a week. The drug

quart of iaudinum a week, aud a book¬
keeper a gallon in three weeks.
There were 705^ miles of railro?d

Ot the 36,000 people in Atlanta, white
and black, there are about 6,080 out of
employment or without visible means of
support; and of this number probably
1,500 of them are males, and ot these 1
000 are blacks. The principal suffering
is among the women and children, and is
intense.

The other day a man walked into a
Skowhegati (Maine) drug store and asked
for tooth biashes. A Basket containing
