TERMS FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH. THE ADVERTISING RETURNS OF THE cITY PRESS. The Intelligencer has get infected with the itech to figure in the income returns, but falls into the biunder of making its ornamental “showing” for & quarter notoriously, by the evidence of its advertising columas, the Gullestim its advertising history. Thus, the advertising returns of the Intelligencer for the five previous quarters were March 31, 1865, 86.4%, June 30, 1865, $7,651 tember 3, 1565, $5, December 31, 1565, $7,787; March 31, 1866, $4,015. These returns sbow the man- ner in which the prevailing ness dullmess had told upon its advertising patronage, and its advertising col- umus, for the succeeding quarter ending June 30, 1566, showed that its advertising for the quarter bad been even less than during the Tevious dull quarter, when its returns were Bar S41 01S, yetim the face of all this it makes the portly return of $15,653 for the quarter end- ing June 30, 1566! No wonder its readers held their breath over this astounding piece of cheek. Its city advertising had fallen off largely, it had lost the Government advertising, yet its ostensible receipts were nearly treble those of the previous quarter! We learn, however, that the sub rosa expla- Bation made in behalf of the Intelligencer, as to the why and wherefore of this remarkable re- turn, is, that during that quarter the Jutelligen- cer was allowed pay by the Government for some old advertising, inserted without autnori- ty, and for which the Government had hereto- tore refused to pay. Some of this dead-horse advertising, inserted to fill up with, and taking the chances of getting pay, ran back a year or more, we hear. The Inteiligencer’s showing is, therefore, a big sham. It parades its year-old- dead-horse-advertising wind-fall receipts to make itappear that its bona side advertising business for the quarter had shot up to, and beyond, that of any of its city cotemporaries, when in fact it had little more than one quar- ter of the advertising business of the Star, as shown by the business columns of the two pa- pers. Well, if our cotemporary thinks this sort of bumbug will pay, it is welcome to all the glory: meantime the Star pursues the even tenor of its way, making no embroidered in- come returns for bumbuggeous effect. Our showing for the six quarters past are plain matter-of-fact returns. as follows :—March 31, 1565, $13,732; June 30, 1565, $13,183; ptember 30, 1565, $14,960, December 31, 1°65, $14.95 March 3i, 1966, $14,446; June 39, 1866, $15,119.

The high price ot fresh meats in the markets, and the enormous profits made by the butchers: form the text of many of our cotemporaries, and isa subject in which the people of this District are no less interested than their neigh- bors. Itis stated that in consequence of the bigb prices of beef, many meat-eaters resorted to Mutton as being the cheaper, when the dealers in this commodity finding it becoming fashion. able, gradually “puton the tariff,’ until they now realize a profit of about eighty-five per cent. So says the New York World, which estimates that the average price of sheep at the drove yards there for the past month has been eleven cenis per pound. it is stated thata good sheep will weigh In the carcass seventy pounds, costing seven dollars and seventy cents. This is retailed by the butcher at twen- ty-five cents per pound for twenty-five pounds of chops, twenty cents per pound for hind quarters, ten cents per pound for coars2 meat. The whole retail product is, therefore, fourteen dollars and a quarter per sheep, thus making the profit as stated about 55 per cent. These calculations pretty nearly repre- sent the facts im this locality. The profits upon veal are said to be equally as large, ‘while those on beef are not nearso heavy. Te prove this, it is stated that a bullock of eigh: hundred pounds will cost about seventeen and a balfcents per pound, net, or one hundred and forty dollars for the carcass. Cut up, the bide and other parts preserved, it will sell, ae present prices, atone hundred and seventy- eight dollars and twenty cents, leaving a profit of thirty-eight dollars and twenty cents, or about twenty-seven per cent. to the butcher. One thing is certain, which is that the batch- ers here, as a general thing. get rich. Tothis ‘We do not object. as they are mainly a hard- working and deserving class; but when their to others who labor as hardly as they fora mere competence, some means should be de- vised to remedy the evil. GENERAL GRANT IN Lieut. GeneralpGrant visited Wood’s Theater, in Cincinnati, Tuesday night, where he was enthusiastically received. While he was there an incident occurred which illustrates notonly bis firmness, but bis good judgment, and shows that now, as during the late war, he is “equal to the emergency.” The Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday thus describes what occu’ i he boys in blue paraded to the theater, and Mr. Eggleston was requested to go and inform General Grant that there was a crowd of citt- zens on the outside who desired to see him. Mr. Eggleston and others ascended the stairs, and Mr. Allen, the manager, was Tequested to Wait upon che General and acquaint him with the wishes of the crowd. Mr. Allen went into poy oni box and conveyed the intelligence to General Grant, who replied, “I cannot and Will not see them. Please tell their commander to come tome. Mr. Allen communicated with the commander, the theater, snd, with others, entered General Grant's private box. Without giving Baker a Moment to say & single word, General Grant appecsenes, bim and said, im a firm tone :-— | “Sir, 1am no politician.

Mr Jobn Ijams, marched by wry of Holliday. Baitimore and Calvert streets to the Buttle Monument, which they passed around with uncovered heads, in honor of those of tneir former comrades to whose memory the monument waserected. The line was headed by the tattered battle fings and dram and fife, the former beat by Mr. Henry itner, whoused thesame drum with which he beat the alarm at Fort McHenry onthe morning of the memorable 12th of September, 1814. During the march the line was reinforced by Captain Jobn A. Webster, of the revenue servier, whose name and fame occupies a bright page in the history of that eventfal period, be being at the time a rough Harferd county farmer, but on the occasion of the engagement commanded the famous six-gun battery which repulsed the British in their attempt to Jand at the Spring Gardens. The | defenders, after saluting the monument, re- turned to Holliday street, by way of Fayette, where they took a double-decker of the Tow- sontowm Railway Company, and were speedily conveyed to Towsontown. On the route through the city, and even after passing the suburbs, they were greeted by cheers from the ladies and children, who filled the windows and lined the sidewalks and road- side. Arriving at Govanstown, the defenders repaired to the hotel of the Messrs. Ruskell, and in the words of the play, the Old Defenders | bad a“jolly good time’ during the balance of the afternoon, returning to the city at an early heur in the evening, safe and sound. Last evening the members of the association visited the Holiday street Theater, by invitation of Mr. John T. Ford. The building was brilli- antly illuminated, and as the veterans entered, the orchestra strask up the “Star-Spangled Banner,” the crowded audience rising and re- ceiving them with cheers. Thus wound up their celebration of the fifty-second anniver- sary of the battle at North Point.—Balt. Sun. rs at eI DS ANOTHER Fenian InVasion.—We are re- vealing no secret when we say that the recent meeting of the Fenian Congress at Troy wiil be followed, sooner or later, by another inya- sion of Canada. The programme has been ar- ranged, the leaders appointed, and the money raised to initiate the war. The political con- test which is now raging in this country has distracted attention from the doings of our irish adopted citizens: but they mean business, and something will be attempted along the border before the winter sets in. The rein- forcements of regulars from England, which Are on their way, will not arrive a moment too soon. In view of the insecurity of lite and roperty in Canada, caused by these threaten- ing Movements, and the heavy expense to which they are put to protect their borders, why do not the people of the Provinces make up their minds to seek admission into the Union !—X. ¥.

THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE. The Commissioner of the General Land Of- fice has received frcm the Register at Green- leaf, Minn., a report showing the natural resources of the region within his jurisdiction, which is near the geographical center of the State. It is appears that there is less valueless or waste land in that district than perhaps in any other portion of the State. Even lands approved as “swamp” are useful tor grazing and meadow. The prairies are well supplied with timber, and the country is well watered. The soil is variable—trom light sandy to deep Tich timber or prairie soil of great produactive- ness. Considerable drift coal, and strong indi- cations of coal oil have been discovered. The Umber is of the bestquality. From retarns re- ceived it appears thatentries are rapidly being perfected tor actual settlement. There has just been transmitted from the General Land Office to the land office at Oregon City, for delivery to the parties entitled there- to, 9,600 patents, embracing over 26,300 acres, covered by donation settlements unJer the do- nauon law of September 27, 1350.
