The worlc is not hard , nnd in times ast nome of our most noted statesmen ixvo takou n vacation by getting this .ppointmont. . When John Quinoy Adams vno fifteen years old ho was made private iccrotary of our legation in llussin , nnd hero comnicncod receiving the salary 'rom the government which nt the close if Iiis oflicial career , whim ho died hero as n member of congress , amounted to ivor n half million of dollars. In 180 ! ) rlr. Adams became minister , nnd served vo years. At about the close of his orni Albert Gnllatin nnd James A. Bayard , Senator Tom Bayard's grand- "athcr , were sent to assist him in makiiu commercial treaty , but when they had ; ottcn to St. Petersburg.

At this time the salary was somewhat loss than it ia now , nnd Jr. Buchanan wrote homo that it ought to bo increased to § 15,000 a year nt least. The secretary of legation , who now gets ver ? 2COO n year , then received only about § 1,800 , nnd I suppose the min- istor'a salary was proportionately loss. Bayard Taylor represented the United States at St. Petersburg in 1863 , senator Cameron in 18G2 , and Cnssius M. Clay , of Kentucky , followed for the six years between 1803 and 180 ! ) .

HAIiAHIEH 0V CONOItESSMEK AND Till ! MILK AOE EXPOSE. This question of salaries is interesting nnd the Blue Book , which is only issuoc for privnto use , gives some interesting fncta. The president , ns everyone knows , gets $69,000 now , together with a largi amount of household expenses. In 'Jack son's day the $25,000 then paid was no enough to run the White House , nnd i is said that ho had to depend upon hii cotton crop to keep up his establishment Cabinet minUtors got $8,000 n year , a do also the president of the senate am ipoakcr of the house. Representative and senators gets $5,000 n year and $ l'Ji for pens nnd paper and tooth picks , to cothor with milcngo nt 20 cents a mill fruin their homes to Washington nnd bad again. This matter of miloigo used fc bo a great job , nnd members from Oregon gen and California would charge the gov eminent by way of Capo Horn , or by th < Isthmus of Panama. In some cases mileage ago so charged amounted to several time their present salary , but when Home Grcoloy came to congress , along Into ii the forties , ho cot n clerk to take dowi for him the exact distance by noares post route from each member's homo ti Washington , nnd aho the route chargct in his account to congress. Ho then os timntud the amount of tniloago each con grceaman ohpnld have received and pu this down with that ho actually did ro ccivo , nnd also the excess of the ono eve the other. The whole waa published ii tabular form in The Now York Tribune giving oaoh congressman's name , am showing that over 108,000 unncccssar ; miles wcro charged , which , nt tbo thoi rates of 40 cento a milo , amounted ti $73,402. CO. The expose created consternation nation hero nt Washington. Noarl ; every man in both sonnto and house wa implicated , and Iho article was roprintoi broadcast over the country. There wa at this time no more unpopular man ii the house than Iloraco Grooloy , uut tli publication helped The Tribune , and i started the work which eventually rorno died the evil. At this time senators and represents lives got $8 a day , and the speaker of tin homo and president pro torn , of the son oonato $10 per day. In the first congros the pay was $0 a uay for members of botl houses , and in two years of John Adams term as president , isolators received $ ' and representatives $0 per diem. Ii 1815 it waa changed to $1,500 pornnnuti for members of both houses , nnd in 181 ! to $8 per day , H1LA11IKS AFTEll THE INVOLUTION. In these early d&ys congressmen won often hard up , and ElbridgoGerry in oni of hia letters wrote that ho could no leave Waihington because ho was bad $157 ou hia board bill , and that ho hat already borrowed too , much money frou hi landlady. Buchanan spent all of hi salary during his presidential term , nn < it ia told of Jofl'orson that hi * salary dur ing his time an colonial governor of Vii giuia waa not sufllciont to keep him ii clothes.

HOW ENGLAND PATS. On the whole , however , our public ofli- corn are poorly paid-and it ia safe to say that no man relying upon n government salary will over become rich. Our presi dent gets a small ualary iu comparison with the rulers of ether counties , and the governor general of Canada goto as much. The president of the French republic haa § 120,000 a year , nnd ho ia allowed § 32- 000 for household expenses , while Queen Victoria has § 1,818,800 n year , not count ing the revenue of the Duchy of Lancas ter , which amounts to n cool § 185,000 pvory year. And still the Queen is try ing to make a little by her pen and poor Brown's legs. But this is .not all. The Prince of Wales gota § 175,000 n year , and the royal family has ether annuities amounting to § 000,000. Only a little moro than § 2,800,000 a year ia what Eng land pays for the privilege of having n royal family , A big price for men of woodl , A GundlnvcBtincnt. Ono of our prominent business men said to us the other day : "In tlio spring my wife got all run down and could not oat anything ; passing your store I saw a pile of Hood's Saraapanlla in the window , and I got a bottle. After she had taken it a week she had n rousing appetite , and did her everything. She took throe bottles tles , and it was the best three dollars I ever invested. " C. I. HOOD & Co. , Low ell , Mass. Fast Malls nnd Western Mails. Chicago Inter Occam Postmaster Cionoral Grcalmm is not certain by any moans that the fast mail train between New York and Chicago is u fixed fact , but ho intends to make it such if possible. A few years ago a line was started by the late George S. Bangs with high hopes ot permanency. But this much ia true , the system ought to bo maintained , and what is moro , reforms unnilar in spirit are required in the mail service from nnd to Chicaro westward. In nothing is the inability of the east to appreciate the west moro plainlyshown than in this matter of postal facilities. It lias never been possible to got the facili ties necessary to put the west upon a pro per postal footing , as compared with the states ou the Atlantic const. If this city hud the carriers to which it is entitled , the not revenue from this branch of the local service would bo largely increased , nnd if the mail trains out of Chicago westward started at bettor hours antt ran foster , immense advantages would result to the public and to the department. This is not a local interest. Chicago ia not the chiei Builcrer by the unfair treat ment in question. It is the people of the west. Great cities can take care of them selves. The inadequacy of the carrier system has developed the district tele graph system , but in the rural districts there is no substitute to bo had. The people are dependent practically upon tlio postofllco system , for inter-communication at long range. Postmaster "General Grcsham in his annual report gives a table showing the amount of postal revenue collected by each state and territory fur the year end. log Juno 30 , 1883 , The aggregate ia 844,817.473 81) ) . Of course , Now York loads all the rest , 18.12 per cent of the total amount coining from that state. Pennsylvania is next , 9.03 ; but Illinois is third , 8.55 being its quota. Even the territory of Dakota ia ahead of several states. It outranks Dolowaro , West Virginia , Arkansas , Mississippi , South Carolina , Oregon , and Florida , and nearly equals Vermont , Rhedo Island , Now Hampshire , Louisiana , North Carolina , and oven Alabama. Even Georgia , the empire ntuto of the south , is loss than twice the size of Dakota from a postal point of view , and Dakota ia not yet u ktato. It is not too much to say that from 10 to 15 per cent of the entire mail of the country starts from or paasei through Chicago. Not that it all goct through this ottlco , by any means , but ii goes to its deatiu&tinn via this city. The entire northwest is interested it quickviiud raUirny facilities for mail mat or went from Chicago , nnd the members > f congress should pool their issues nnd demand it. The present postmaster gen- ral will back their clForta , ns ho knows ell the needs oHho rapidly developing iountry , The railroad companies would ihorlan the time on Iho road and provide : arlior mall trains , if the proper pressure were brought to boar upon them , nnd the ilaco to begin is in congress.

The ivil to which they give rise is trivial ns ompnred with the benefits which they tonfor. There is danger that the ill ro ute into which they nave fallen will fur nish eastern prejudice an excuse for cut ting down the appropriation. The post master general pared everything down irotty cTosolybut the nppropriaiton com- iiittco soenia dispos < > d to prune very much more. The service is threatened with xippling retrenchment for the domagog- cal use that could be made of the claim economy.

While nearly all of our moist valued 'ruits require more or less time for the Ipvelopmcnt of the seed into the bush- ino or tree , ns previous conditions before , ho period of fructification , there is ono , whoso luciousness nnd beauty is unqucs- ' .ioncd , which requires no moro time to aiso than some of the cereal crops. This ruit is the strawberry , and anyone having nuch or little space can grow > the berry o their advantage. Says The Chicago Times : 'The plants are hardy and pro ductive in every state and territory in the country. In factit is extremely difficult to decide which ono offers the most advantages for producing this most delicious fruit. The strawberry docs ex ceeding well in these parts of the country whore oranges , lemons , figs , bananas , and pineapples abound , and does equally well in regions so far north that the moat hardy apples will not mature. But a very small amount of land is required to raise enough stawborrics to supply an ordinary family. A square rod , if treated properly , will produce as many straw berries as a common family will require during their season. The plants multi ply very fast. Every plant sot out iu the spring may bo made to produce from ton to twenty plants during the season. By manuring the parent plants the young ono will bo strong and stocky. Straw berry plants como into bearing quickly. If they are rooted in pots in the summer and sot out early in the fall , they will produce a fine crop the following year. No other fruits except melons and toma toes , which are generally ranked with vegetables , can bo produced so quickly. A person who does not wish to lay out much money in commencing with straw- bnrrics can procure early in the spring a dozen strong plants of some good variety and raise from them plants enough to set a square rod of Innd. By rooting the young plants in small pots like these used by florists they will bo in a condi tion toaot out in Soptomborand by mulch ing they will troduco a good crop next season. The plants sot out for propogat- ing purposes should bo planted in very rich soil , and considerable distance apart , and well cultivated. Runners will ap pear about the last of Juno. They should bo allowed to spread in all directions. At the points where rudimentary plants ap pear on the runners the little pots should bo sunk into the ground and the runner hold in place by a small stone , a forked stick , or a piece of wire bent like a hair-pin. The pota must bo filled with rich earth in which the roots will spread. Several good plants may often be obtained from the same runner. After they have all become established in the pots , the run ner may bo cut and the original plant loft to grow by itself. The plants rooted in this way may bo put into permanent rows without interfering with their growth. A hole being made with a trowel , the pot is inverted and thumped on the bottom , the plant being caught in ono hand. When placed in the ground it should bo pressed , lirmly around the roots. The name pots may bo used for rooting plants for several years. Good , strong plants may bo raised by setting the propagating plants as directed above and allowing the young plants to take root in the ground. If carefully taken up when the soil is damp , as after a rain , they may bo removed aomo diatnnco without injury. Plants raised near whore they nro wanted for totting do much bettor than those ob tained from a distance For garden culture the soil for straw berry plants should bo well prepared. The spade is preferable to the plow for pulverizing it. Unless it is naturally very rich considerable well-rooted stable manure should bo applied and incorpor ated with the soil by spading. . Moat ofi it should bo buried quite deeply. The roots should bo induced to ponotrnto the soil as far as possible. The plants wiJL suflbr loss from drought if the soil is spaded deeply If ground is. scaroo the rows may bo sixteen inches , apart , ami the plants stand at the same distance in the rows. Next every fourth cow w space two foot wide should bo left for a. path for convenience in cultivating the plants nn picking the berries. _ 1 the plants are sot out in the spring they should not bo permitted to produce fruit that season. The flower stalks should be cut off as soon as they appear seas as to throw all the sap into the plant. For the same reason the ruuuers should bo cut of } ' . Tito otalkn and runners- may bo easily piuched oil'when they are young and tender. If they uro allowed to bocouui tough it will be necessary to cut them. A sharp spade may be employed to out runners. Little other attention will bo required except to keep the ground free from weeds. With a favorable season the plants will cover about half the ground by fall. On the approach of winter the plants should bo covered to the depth of three or four inches with hay or straw. It can bo hold in position BO it will not bo blown away by the wind by laying rails along the paths. Aa the frost leaves the ground iu the ipring the covering should bo remov ed. PlanU treated in this way will pro duce a largo crop , of very tine berries the year after they are planted out. By forking up the soil between the plaut& aud adding soiuo more manure and soil , they will continue to produce- well two , or three years. Persons luving time and land to divota to atrawbunry culture can scarcely do bet ter than to set ono > or two hundred plants each year tmd treat them as ubova dinct- ed for the aako of the crop they will have the year after they are sat out. The borrita produced on younj ; planU are much larger and finer than , those on old ODMVhon each plant stands by itself the berries ripen much ba'ter than whuj tUo plaatj are crowded , With tou plant * kept in ri'c'r ground for propagating pur poses the reqtu'lo number of young nnd strong plants can bo raised. Strawberries of smaller slzo nnd poorer quality can bo raised in n milch raster way. The soil can bo prepared with the plow nnd har row , the plants act in rows from two nnd n half to three foci apart and the ground tot ween them worked with n cultivator. If the rows nro quite straight the cultiva tor may be run close to- the plants without injuring them. Of coureo it will bo nec essary to use the hand hoe between plants in the rows. Two or throe good crops can bo obtained ftom plants sot out nnd tended in this way. Unless pains betaken taken to keep most of the runners cut off the plants become too thick to bo strong , nnd the berries will bo small. The soil becomes hnrd nnd looses its fertility , as the btrawboiry p.u it isn gross feeder. A * strawberry plants become old now roots appear near the surface of the ground and the plnnts appear to rise. They may bo kept in fair condition by placing a coating of woll-rotted manure on the ground between them nnd lessen ing the soil with n fork. Transplanting caii bo done best with n garden trowel while the soil is quito damp. It is always best to cut oil' the dead nnd lower leaves before setting out the plants. If the roots nro very long they should bo shortened by the use of shears. It is much better to shorten roots than to double them up in planting. AVhntoWunt. .

Ho has flourished in the past and expands moro and more as time goes on , and is nearly ready to get married. Doc Canon has quit trying to preserve the health of the community by hydro- gagues and tonics alone , so has added a choice stock of groceries to his stock of drutj3. Ho says people need good nourishment as well ns medicines , nnd though it detracts somewhat from bis- personal beauty to handle groceries , yet he is a very wilting martyr. Alox. MoKonzio , watchmaker and jeweler , is erecting n now store building on High street. H. Goodheart is nlso putting up a busi ness room where ho expects to keep a stock of "wot groceries. " There is n splendid opening hero for a lasgo general merchandize store , and the citizens will offer flattering inducements to any active firm who will engage in such an enterprise. There is also a- general < oral demand for miles around hero for a hardware and tin store , such n business would bo a success from the beginning.
