MEDALS OF HONOR.' i How Vncls Sam Rewards the He.oeS of His Army mud Mary. The medal of honor is the one decora tion given by the United States to those of its soldiers and sailors who distinguished themselves by acts of in dividual gallantry. This decoration was authorized for military service by a joint resolution passed by both houses of Congress and approved tfuly 12, 18G2, authorizing the President "to cause 2,003 medals of honor to be pre pared with suitable emblematic de vices, and to direct that the same be presented in the name of Congress to such non-commissioned officers and privates as shall most distinguish themselves by their gallantry in ac tion and their soldier-like qualities during the present insurrection." This was followed March 3, 1863, by an act authorizing the additional issue of medals of honor for such officers, non commissioned officers, and privates aa have most distinguished, or may here after most distinguish, themselves in action," appropriating f 20,000 to de fray the expenses of the same. The medal prepared was a five-pointed star, tipped with trefoil, each point containing a crown of laurel and oak; in the middle, within a cir cle of thirty-four stars, America ia personified as Minerva, with her left hand resting on the fasces, while with her right. In which Bhe holds a shield bearing the arms of the United States, Bhe repels Discord. The whole is suspended by a trophy of two crossed cannon and a sword surmounted by the American eagle, and linked with the dependent star. A ribbon of thirteen stripes, blue and white, headed with a stripe of plain blue, unites it with a clasp consisting of two cornucopias and the arms of the United States. The medal is of bronze, and no distinction has as yet boon made by giving medals of silver . or gold where services of peculiar heroism have been performed. This medal is within the reach of the humblest private in the army, and is prized by its most distinguished officers. A large majority of those who have received tho medal were enlisted men In tho volunteer ranks during the civil war, but many have also been conferred upon members of tho regular army aot only for heroic acts during the war, but similar deeds while engaged In fighting tho hostile Indians in the ardous campaigns on the frontier. Tho medals of honor for the navy were authorized by an act of Congress passed in the latter part of 1861, to be accorded by the Secretary of the Navy to such petty officers and others of in ferior rank as should most distinguish themselves by their gallantry in action in the navy during the war. It was a bronze in the form of a star with rive points, with a device emblematic of Union crushing the monster Rebellion, around which were thirty-three stars, the number of States then In the Union. The naval medals were accorded to 820 persons. Those given in the army amounted to several thousand. Chi cago Inter Oceag, - - . ... - AGRICULTURAL DtVOTED TO THE iNTfcii!

"I mean that I deserve all I get be cause I didn't stick to my campaign plan. As long as I stole horses accord ing to my campaign plan I never was eoteiheal.

Taking his wife off sorter reconciled him to the loss of the hoss, but as soon as I quit taking tho woman along I was follered and arrested. Jess sock it to me, Jedge.

IStUburgh Chronicle. Description or a Visit to tho Elegant Homo of an Indian Prince. When I was-finishing a busy day, in company with Mr. May, we stopped at tbe house of a Rajah, on a side of Cal cutta which I had not visited before. The magnificent home of a native Hindu Prince is always a place of in terest The fact that such a thin ex ists, is of itself remarkable. The Eng lish .' ave hud matters the'r own way, and, like the Clive, could easily have absorbed about all the wealth tt the country. On the contrary, they have been just and moderate. Even the Princes 1 who arrayed themselves against India during the mutiny have not been turned adrift without a rupee. Many of the noble families are to-day drawing pensions from the general treasury, and living ia vast luxury. There are many others, hwever, who set m to have been in no way connected with the political complications of the country, and are in tbe undisturbed en joyment of their vast estates. Tha English respect for native rights in India is one of the most remarkabl illustrations of political justice in his tory. It is as far above modera Spain's treatment of her colonial possessions, or ancient Rome's procedure in rela tion to' her conquered provinces, as Christianity is above and beyond either ancient or modern paganism. Tiie entrance from the street to this Rrri.-th's home is large, and unguarded by servants. There is a large circular court, with a pond for marine fowl and fi.-lies. In the trees there are par rots and other tame birds. - Our cards at the door of "the great mansion sec-uretl us prompt admission. The furnitnre was rich, and mostly in European style, but there were soma old pieces of elaborate Indian work m.tnship. Marble objects of ornament, and r.eh floors, and finely wrought wainscoting, and tall mirreirs were to 1-c seen oa every hand. The rtKnts were in part in suits, and in jart locat ed singly, as quiet nooks for conversa tion ami retirement. Some of the larger halls and ehnm'jers were in pro cess of new decoration. In India much of the work of embel I shin.s. and even of the more solid dec oration iri stone, is donrj by artists in the hr.-uso, and not in the distant work shops. The marble eutte-rs, instead of finishing th objects away from tha house, do it on the spot where they r.re to be rrsed. It is no short task, therefore, to put a native house in order in India. Weod and stona are brought to the place in the rough, and the workmen, in large numbers carry out their piaas within tha eye of the owner of the house. In this Rajah's house was all the litter of a great Flor entine marble workshop. Here was work going on in fine mosaic, the ar tists, no doubt, having come from Agra for the special purpose. There were many servants and overseers, some ef " them clad in picturesque oriental costume, and all having their specific duties. The" grandson of the Rajah, aeourtir young g ntleraan, conversed with us a few minutes, and then withdrew. . The intel!rent attendant who had received us at first was in no haste, but gave us ample time to ' examine th:s immense building and all its appointments and the surrounding grounds. One tiring here greatly astonished me the appar ent mtxlesty of the wealthy native. If he has an ostentatious spirit, it is bard to eletet-t it. He says nothing ia praise of his rare birds, or fine mosaics, vast halls, or the immense - boa con sirtc t jrs, which wind about, or sleep in tho meadow behind the close wire fence, lie simply stands at a distance, or leaves a servant with you, and only bows his head ia acknowledgement of any words of appreciation which jou may say concerning any beaut'ful or surprising collection. DR. HAY'S THEORY. How a London Chenalst Would Dispose ol the Bodies of the Dead. Dr. George Hay, a London chemist, advances a plan for the disposition of the dead bodies of human beings. He advocates an economic distribution of tbe remains, so that they may return to the elements as soon as possible, if for &o other purpose than to furnish, a fertilizer. Dr. Hay would pulverize the body with the aid of machinery. He says: "The machines might be Contrived so as to break the bones first ia pieces of the size of a hen egg, next into fragments of the size of a marble, and the mangled and lacerated mass could next be reduced by means of chopping machines and steam power to mincemeat. A t this stage we have a homogeneous mixture of the entire body structure in the form of a pulpua mass of raw meat and raw bones. This mass should now be dried thor oughly by means of steam heat at a temperature of two hundred and fifty degrees, or a pressure 'of thirty pounds to the inch; because firstly, we wish to reduce the materia to a condition convenient for handling, and, secondly, we wish to disinfect it, as no infectious or contagious disease can retain its vitality at this temper ature. Ouce in this condition would command a good price for the purpose of manure. Another method is by boiling in close vessels. The oil which would rise to the top may be drawn off to he converted into soap or a lubricant. The residue may by vari ous simple processes be converted into fertilizing material." His final and most brilliant suggestion is the "dis tillation method." The bodies are to be placed in gas retorts, and in about six hours will be converted into illumi nating gas, water, ammonia, tar and animal charcoal. By subsequent dis tillations, such substancea as sulphate of ammonia, aniline colors and eorbol Ic acid may be obtained. It is this process which finds most favor with the writer.
