AT THE CENTENNIAL. The Oran?e Free State?Ceylon?.British (lulnna-.siii^npore---Peaam?Malacca -?New /.enlandi Ete. THE ORANGE FKEE STATE. lint little is known among our people of this country and her valuable exhibits at the Exhibition. And again the knowledge that this is a little progressive republic should enlist the sympathises of tho general reader. Tho republic of the Orange Free State is situated on the northeast boundary of Cape Colony, and is bounded as follows: Ou tho west and northwest by tho territory claimed for tho chief, Nicholas Wuterboer, under the name of Griqualand West, and by Betchuanaland, respectively, on the north and northeast by the Transvaal republic, on tho east by the colony of Natal, and on llxo sourn by British Basutoland, the Native Reserve Lands, and the Cape Colonial divisions of Albert and Colesburg. Its area is roughly taken to be about 70,000 square miles, but no accurate computation lias hitherto been made, and the probability is that the actual extent will bo found considerably greater. Tho following are the exhibits: Diamonds in the rough. IMamondiferous soil with a diamond in it, copper and iion ore, chlorsastrolite, magnesia, kaolin, springbuck mats, angora, blesbuck, and jackal kavassas, blue gum, olive and thorn wood, stuffed birds, stanbucks, lhiuoceros hide, Kaffir corn, ostrich feathers. . CEXLOX is an island in the Indian oceau of Hinrtostan, south live deg. fifty-five min. and nine deg. fifty-one min. north latitude and seventy-nine deg. forty-one min. and eighty-one deg. fifty-four min. cast longitude. From north to south, Poiut Palmyra to Dandera Head, 226 miles; width from Columbo to Sangamankard, 110$ miles. It was visited in oarly days by the Greeks, Romans and Venetians. In 1505 the Portuguese settled it. In the next year the Dutch occupied it. In 1795-6, the British took possession of the Dutch settlements and they were then annexed to the presidency of Madras. Five years later, 1801, Ceylon was constituted a separate colony. In 1815, the British occupied the entiru island. The raw materials of Ceylou on exhibition are from Colombo. Rum is a specialty from Ceylon rice. A strong liber [is that of the musa paradisiaca. Also silk grass fibers, mahue fibers, sweet brier fibers, monkey apple fibers. If the South can produce the ramie fiber, why not introduce and stimulate the growth of these valuable bases for fabrics ? Rice straw ornaments from Colombo are $uit? pretty. Sugar, starch and drugs are displayed in varieties creditable to the settlement. BRITISH GUIANA. This colony is a portion of the South American continent, and extends from east to west 200 miles, including the settlements of Demerara, Essequibo and Barbice. It is supposed to contain 76,000 square miles. Specimens?sugar, rice, rum and fibers. One specimen of greenheart wood nearly one hundred years old.

Singapore is an island twenty-five mile3 long by fourteen wide, at the southern extremity of the Malayan peninsula, from which it is separated by a narrow strait three-quarters of a mile in \7i ith. Singapore is the seat of government, and is situated in latitude one degree sixteen minutes north ; longitude one hundred and three degrees fiftythree minutes east. PEJfjLNG is an island twenty-nine miles long, nine miles broad?107 square miles, off the Malayan peninsula. Chief town, Qecftgfctown. MALACCA is the oldest European settlement in the East. Settled by the Portuguese under Albuquerque in 1511. The Dutch occupied it and held it from 1641 to 1795. Tb.o English took it and held it till 1818. It was then restored to the Dutch. In lea-l it again became a Britisn posses-1 sion, Great Britain having exchanged ! Bencoolen on the west coast of Sumatra. Tho exhibits of the settlements vary but little from each other ?fibers, woods, the latter for ornamental and building purposes, rice, sugar and rum. The great virtue in the exhibit is the care taken in the selection, tho neatness of their arrangement, and the interest shown, and tlio energy displayed by these people at such remote distances in striking po boldly out into tho competitive field of international thought and practical effort. NEW ZEALAND. New Zealand forms a group of islands in the south Pacific ocean belonging to Great Britain, extending from thirtyfour degrees to thirty-two minutes south latitudeto 166 degrees to 177 minutes ea?t longitude. They consist mainly of two islands, separated at the narrowest passage, twenty-five miles, by Cook's straits. Length of the whole group from north to south, i 1,200 miles, with an area of 105,115 square miles. New Zealand was first : discovered by Tasman in 1642, and upon ; this French geographers have called it i Tasmania, and on the flag flying in the : British section, where are to bo seen the i products of New Zealand, in large letters i may bo road Tasmania. Cook's visit i gave it prominence in 1769 and 1774. ] The first permanent settlement was made ; in 1815, Afh0n a missionary station was 1 established. In 1840 it was orected into < a colony subordinate to tho colony of < New South Wales, from which it was i.-.i :.. io4i ?? i _ i , i :i Buparawju iu ioti huu piuucii uunoi ii/d own independent governor. The historian speaks thus of the New Zealauders, seemingly in a happy vein. " The men are tall, strong and active ; tho women often handsome; excepting cannibalism and infantioide, they have ceased to practice the vices of their ancestors. This reminds me of a voyageur to Colorado, and who,liko tho enterpris ing journalist from the West who went to California on a free ticket, and had to walk back 3,000 miles for the benefit of his liver, becoming disgusted, wrote to a friend, who requested his opinion of the new El Dorado : " Well, if the water was not so bad, and the climate so wretched, and the society so infernally disagreeable, Colorado would do for a settler." His friend could but exclaim : " Tophet would be no worse." Also as our school children study nearer j geographical positions, and this elimination of the peculiarities of the South ( seas may entertain them, 1 have written ' of many of their exhibits, and will add 1 of tho beautiful specimens of wool on ' exhibition.

The Indiana SnrprUed and Driven Buck with Loss?Chief Yellow Hand Shot by Buffalo Bill. At noon on Saturday, the fifteenth of July, says a letter to the New York Herald, the Fifth cavalry, under Gen. Merritt, were bivouacked on Rawhide creek, eighteen miles from Fort Laramie, to which point they were ordored in from tho Cheyenne river, 100 miles to the north, en route to join Crook. A courier suddenly appeared from the agency with dispatches stating that 800 Cheyeni?t'3 were making preparations to leave ut once for the Northwest to join Sitting Bull; that he was to throw himself across their line of march in time to intercept them. Merritt had to make eighty miles before they could make thirty, but off" he went, and Sunday night found him with seven companies hiding under the bluffs on War Bonnet or Hat creek, square up their front. At daybreak Monday morning Lieut. King, commanding the outposts to the southeast, sent in word that tho war parties were coming over the ridge from the direction 01 me reservation, joining him at the advanced post, Gen. Merritt found the report correct. The command noiselessly mounted and was massed under the bluffs a quarter of a mile to the roar, out of sight of the Indians. At the same time the wagon train was some six miles off to the southwest, slowly approaching, and the Indians were closcly watching it, but keeping concealed from the view of its guard. The two companies of infantry with it were riding in the wagons. At six o'clock the Indians were swarming all along the ridge to the southwest, some three miles away. Suddenly a party of eight or ten warriors came dashing down a ravine which led directly under the hill where Lieut. King, with his six men, was watching. The object was as suddenly apparent. iwu liurbomejj, uucuusuwub ui tuo piu-s.imity of the foe, had ventured out ahead of the train and were making rapidly for the creek. They were couriers with dispatches to the command. The Indians, utterly ignorant of the rapid move of the Fifth, were simply bent on jumping on the couriers and getting their scalps. Buffalo Bill, chief of the scouts, Ip.y on the hill with King, and instantly sprung to his horse down off the hill. "All of you keep out of wght," said the general. " Mount now, and when the word is given off with you." Then, turning to the officer of the picket, he said : " Watch them, King. Give the word when you are ready." Crouching behind the little butte, Bill and his party of two scouts and six soldiers were breathlessly waiting. Half way up was th6 general and his staff. The lieutenant lay at the crest, watching the rapidly approaching foe. Down they came, nearer and nearer, the sun flashing from their brilliantly painted bodies and their polished ornaments. Then, just as they are dashing by the front of the hill, King shouts : " Now, lads, in with you." With a rush and yell the troopers are hurled upon the Indians' flank, not fifty yards away. Gen. Merritt springs up to see the attack just as a tall Indian reeled in his saddle, shot by Corporal Wilkinson, of K company. An answering bullet whistled by the general's head, when King?stiJI on watch?sung out: * Here they come by the doze us." The reserve Indians camo swarming down from the ridge to the rescue. Company K was instantly ordered to the front. But before it appeared from behind the bluff the Indians, emboldened by the rush of their friends to the rescue, turned savagely on Buffalo Bill and the little party at the outpost. The latter sprung from their horses and met the daring charge with a volley. Yellow Hand, a young Cheyenne brave, came foremost, singling Bill as a foeman worthy of his steel.

Down went the two, and, before his friends could reach him, a second shot fvom Bill's rifle laid the redskin low. On camo the others, bent on annihilating the little band that opposed them, when, to their amazement, a long, blue lino popped up in then- very /rout, and K company, with Col. Mason at its head, dashed at them. Leaving their dead, the Cheyennes scattered back, helter skelter, to the ridge, but their Are was wild and their stand a short one. Company after company debouched from" behind the bluff, and, utterly disheartened, the Indians rushed for the reservation, leaviug behind all their provisions. Gen. Merritt pursued them till night, wjien the -whole command went into camp at the agency. The Indians left their dead, and admit having more wounded. They also lost six ponies. Their friends at Red Cloud say they never dreamed the Fifth cavalry could get there in time to head them off. The regiment sustained no loss. Hard Times in England. Hard times! Hard times! Dullness, despondency, depression everywhere and in all trades; thousands of houses in the West End Bhut up or for rent, furnished or unfurnished; empty theaters; idle workmen; reduction of wages and shortening of hours in the manufacturing dietricts?this is what you hear or seo day after day in Figland, says a letter writer. You in America can now sympathize with your English cousins, for they are beginning to suffer what you have so long endured. It is overtrading and over-production which have caused the trouble here. The mill owners in the north have for the most part agreed to adopt short time; the mills are to be run only thirty-eight hours per week?nine and a half hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and not at all on Saturday and Monday. This will diminish the production by moro than one-third, and it is hoped that thus the immense stocks which now overburden the market may be worked off. The initiative in this arrangement has been taken by the cooperative or joint stock mills, and the others were glad enough to follow suit. Some of the employers, however, have reduced the rate of wages as well as the time, and this makes it very hard on the operatives. Why He Was Pardoned, A pardon recently extended by the governor of Virginia to Jonathan Otey, sentenced to three years' confinement in the State penitentiary for bigamy, recalls certain facts connected with hia conviction that illustrate how cruel the operation of the laws may sometimes be. Otey, who is seventy-six years old, is represented as an extremely ignorant man from one of the interior counties of the State. He was deserted by his wife and, liter the lapse of .fivo years, being in formed by some of his neighbors that -o long an abondonment operated as a livorce, be contracted a second marrige, without taking the necessary legal steps ior annulling the first, which he might readily have done. His health has been 30 much broken that further confinement would result in his death, and on these representations tho pardon has been granted. It is coupled, however, with the provision that he may not live with-his second wife?so called?until lie shall be remarried to her, after having been lawfully divorced from the first.

Stanley, the African explorer, whom it was feared had met with the fate of Livingstone, has been heard from and is getting along well in his explorations. After circumnavigating the great reservoir of Lake Victoria Niyanza and fully establishing it as the basin into which the fountains of the Nile poured before they flowed in an unobstructed and combined stream toward the land of Egypt, Stanley has endeavored to establish the relationship which the vast lakes of the African equatorial zone bear to the ancient river and to each other. [ On board the Lady Alice he has explored every indentation of the coast, searched every nook and cranny, as it were, along the shores of this great inland sea and the numerous islands that dot its broad surface. According to ad I VlCDOj W111UU giyc UUO V/* wuw year's labor in tho vicinity of lakes Victoria and Albert Niyanza, Stanley has accomplished his task with wonderful success. His first letter, which is dated Mahyiga island, in Lake Victoria Niyanza, gives the details of his return voyage from the friendly King Mtesa's capital at the head of the Victoria Nile to the camping ground at Mahyiga, which he proposed as the starting point for his next expedition. In this journey he and his party becamo exposed to, not the least to be dreaded dangers of central African explorations, massacre at the hands of the Bumbirehs, the savage inhabitants of the lako shoro and the large island that lies on tho wostern side of the lake. Stanley escaped disaster and succeeded in reaching his camp in safely. From thence he made the difficult and dangerous voyage across tho lako to tne island of Ukyrewe, which ho had visited and explored at the commencement of his circumnavigation of tho Victoria Niyanza. There he delayed a little time, and, being resolved to give a lesson to the Bumbirehs, who had attacked him a short time before, lie returned to their island stronghold and there administered such a punishment to the savages as will teach them the duty of hospitality to travelers. From Bumbireh Stanley traveled direct to Uganda, which is a territory of King Mtesa's lying between the Victoria and the Albert JSiyanzas and the Viotoria Nile. Here the traveler resolved to cross the country which divides the two great lakes and thoroughly explore its physical character, as well as see for himself the great sheet of water lying beyond. With a powerful force of followers and the spearmen or native soldiers of Uganda he made this interesting march and encamped his army on the shores of the Albert Niyanza. During his return to King Mtesa's capital, over the rocky and forest-clad divide, he took care to explore the country thoroughly, scaling the rugged sides of Gambaragara and noting the presence of the strange pale faced tribe that inhabited its lofty ridges and uplands.

After completing his map of the Victoria Nijan?;a, Stanley commenced his southward march to Ujiji, on Lake Tanganyika, the place wliere he was so fortunate as to discover the long lost Livingstone. From this place, which he expected to reach about fifteen days after tne date of his last letter?namely, the twenty-fourth of last April?the explorer intended to move up Lake Tanganyika to its most northerly point, and from thence cross the country to the southern extremity of the Albert Niyanza. The latter lake he intends to examine thoroughly, and then, being fully acquainted with the lake reservoirs of the Nile, he will proceed to the solution of the problem of the Lualaba, which Livingstone was pursuing when overtaken by death. As he had, 1--1. i.~ U 1*U Ill IttSb UUCUUUI>0, UCU11U UliU WW uuu AD" sources for the accomplishment of this great task, wo can only wish Stanley every success which his daring and intelligence merit.?Herald. Gen. Canby's Murder by Modocs, The death of Gen. Custer recalls the terrible fate of his brother-in-arms, Gen. Oanby, who was treacherously murdered by Captain Jack of the Modoc tribe of Indians, April 11, 1873, in the Lava Bed camp, Siskiyou county, California. Gen. Canby had been in command of the department of Columbia, and during the six months previous to his assassination had been actively engagod in bringing the Modocs to accept the terms of peace offered them by the government. On the morning of April 10, five Indians and four squaws had come into his camp, and offpr rA^oiviiify nrpnanta of filotkinc and provisions from the peace commissioners, one of tliem was eent out as a messenger to the Indian camp, asking for a meeting on the followiDg morning at a point about one mile beyond the picket lines. Early in the morning Boston Charley came into camp and reEorted that Captain Jack and live other udians would meet the commission outside the lines. In about an hour Gen. Canby, Mr. Dyer, the Rev. Dr. Thomas i and Mr. Meacham, with interpreters, started for the place of meeting, where they at once found the Indians. Speeches ; were made by Mr. Meacham, Gen Can- i by, and Dr. Thomas, after which Captain Jack asked for Hot Creek and Cottonwood?places then already occupied ! ?for a reservation. Mr. Meacham told i Jack that it was impossible to grant the : request, whereupon Schonchiu admoniahed Mr. Meacham to say no more, and ; while Schonchin was still speakiug, Captain Jack walked behind the com- , pany, and npon exclaiming, " All ready !" drew a pistol and snapped a cap at wen. tjanoy. ruiimg on anoiuer i cap he again fired, and Gen. Canby fell : dead, shot under the eye. Schonchin i then fired upon Mr. Meacham, and Boston Charley and another Indian Bhot ' and killed Dr. Thomas. Mr. Dyer was i chased some distance, but succeeded in ! reaching his camp. Gen. Canby was one of the seven generals in the army who then hold the brigadier rank. He was an officar universally esteemed, and his melancholy fate awakened a general feeling of indignation throughout the entiro country. Gen. Sherman, under directions of the President, at once forwarded orders to the camp to "make the attack so strong and persistent that their (the Modocs) fate may be commensurate with their crime. You will bo justified in their utter extermination.'' There is Danger. The poisonous natuie of the dye used in ooloring stockings and undershirts has been frequently demonstrated during the hot weather. The Scientific American says that red, brown, blue and yellow may be poisonous, and tells # / 11 mi.. 01 a case as iouows : iue garments were of a light woolen material, and, having become somewhat worn, were sent to an extensive dying and scouring establishment in New York city to be dyed a dark blue. The owner, after wearing the clothes for a few days in hot weather, observed that the blue color stained his undergarments, and in the localities of the stains he became sensible of a cutaneous eruption. The latter soon extended on a largo area, which became excessively inflamed, and a pustular state followed, resulting in excruciating suffering and prostration. The case was carefully examined by several eminent physicians in that city, who pronounced it one of the most, severe attacks of poisoning t-liey had <;vi-r oncountered, ai'd uuhesitatingly ascribed it to tho dyeing of the fabric with aniline blue. Had the sufferer been a child cr an invalid, the opinion was that the disease was sufficiently malignant to prove fatal. A safe way is to discard any garment tho coloring of which 1 stains the skin. A Custer Monument.?The citizens i of Monroe, Mich., General Custeu'sna- ' tivo city, have taken steps toward erecting a magnificent monument to the memory of that officer and his com- J rades. The New York Herald is also 1 raising a sudsc ription fcr the samepur- \ pose. ] In the Night "Watches.

The Mistake of a Lifetime. A lovers' quarrel I A few hasty words ?a formal parting between two hearts that-neither time nor distance could ever disunite?then, a lifetime of misery. Edith May stood before me in her bridal dress. The whole world was to be made believe she was happy and heart whole. I knew better. I knew that no woman who bad once loved Gilbert Ainslie could ever forget him?least of all, such a heart as Edith's. She was pale as a snow wreath, and bent her head gracefully as a water lily in recognition of her numerous friends and admirers. "What a sacrifice 1" the latter murmured. "What a sacrifice I" my heart echoed. Mr. Jefferson Jones was an ossified old bachelor. He had but one idea in his head, and that was to make money. There was only one thing ho understood equally well?and that was to keep it. He was angalar, prim, cold ana precise ; mean, groveling, contemptible and cunning. And Edith?our peerless Edith, whose lovers were " legion "?Edith, with her passionate heart, her beauty, grace, taste arid refinement?Edith, to vow "love and honor" to such a soulless block 1 It made me shudder to think of it 1 ' I, felt as though his very gaze were profanation. >. Well, the wedding was over, and she was duly installed mistress of Jefferson House. She had fine dresses, fine furniture, a fine equipage, and the most stupid incumbrance in the shape of an old husband. But Mr. Jefferson Jones was very proud of his bride : ttrstly, Because sne added to his importance ; secondly, because he plumed himself not a little in bearing off so dainty a prize. It gave him a malicious pleasure to meet her old admirers, withjthe graceful Edith upon his arm. Of course she preferred him to them all?else, why did she marry him? Then how deferential she was in her n:anner since their marriage; how very polite, and how careful to perform her duty to the letter! Mr. Jones deoided, with his usual acumen, that there was no room to doubt on that point I He noticed, indeed, that her girlish gayety was gone; but that was a decided improvement, according to his view. She was Mrs. Jones now, and meant to keep all whiskered popinjays at a respectablo distance. He liked it! And so, through tnose interminable evenings, Edith sat, playing long games of chess with him, or listening to his gains or losses in the way of trade; or reading political articles of which the words conveyed no ideas to her absent mind. She walked through the busy streets, leading on his arm, with an unseen form ever at her side; and slept next his heart, when hers was far away! But when she was alone?no human eye to read her sad secret, her small lianas ciaspea iu uguuy, unu uur iuir head bent to the very dust?was he not avenged ? ******* It was a driving storm. Mr. Jones resolved to dine at a tavern instead of returning home. He had just seated himself, and given his order to the obsequious waiter, when his attention was attracted by the conversation of two gentlemen near him. " Have you seen the beautiful Edith since her marriage, Harry ?" "No; I feel too much vexed with her. Such a splendid woman to marry such an idiot! All for a foolish quarrel with Ainslie. You never saw such a wreck as it has made of him. However, she is well punished; for, with all of her connnmwnfo onf ?n/-J fn Iroon tin on. nUUijJIUUU IUVU 14UU UUUIV UV MUUjy U pearances, it is plain she ia the most miserable woman in existence; as Mr. Jefferson Jones, whom Ihavenever seen, might perceive, if he wasn't, as all the world says, the very prince of donkeys." Jones Beized his h t and rushed into the open air. Six times he went, like a comet, .Biwid the square, then, settling his beaver down over his brow, in a very piophetio manner, he turned his footsteps deliberately homeward. It was the deceitful calm before the whirlwind. He found Editl^pale and Belf-possessed, as usual. He was quite as much so himself?even went so far as to compliment her on a coquettish little jacket that fitted her round figure very charmingly. 41 I'm thinking of taking a short journey, Edith," said he, seating himself by her side, and playing with the silken cord and tassels about her waist. "As it is wholly a business trip, it would liamper me to take you with me; but you'll hear from me. Meanwhile, you know how to enjoy yourself?hey, Edith?" He looked searchingly at her. There was no conscious blush, no change of cxpressiop, no tremor of the frame. He might as well have addressed a marble statue, Mr. Jefferson Jones was posed! Well, he bade her one of his characteristic adieus; and, when the door closed, Edith felt as if a weight had been lifted off her heart. Ther i was but one course for 1 er to pursue. She know it?she had already marked it out. She would deny liorself to all visitors; eho would not go abroad till her husband's return. She was strong in her purpose. There should be no door left open for busy scandal to enter. Of Ainslie she knew nothing, save that a letter reached her from him after her marriage, which she had returned unopened. And so she wandered restlessly through those splendid rooms, ana, iriea dj mis sen-inmctea ponance, to atone for the defeotion of her heart. Did she take her guitar, old songs that they had sung together came unbidden to her lips; that book, too, they had read. Oh, it was all misery, turn where she would! Day after day passed?no letter from Mr. Jones. The time had already pass- I ed that was fixed upon for his retnrn, and Edith, nervous from close confinement, and the weary inward struggle, started liko a frightened bird at every footfall. It came at last?the letter?sealed with black. " He had been accidentally drowned. His hat was found; all search for the body had been unavailing." Edith was no hypocrite. She could not mourn for him, save in the outward garb of woe. Ainslie was just starting for the con- j tinent, by order of a physician, when tho news reK-hed him. A brief time i ho gave to decorum, acd then they met. It is needless t? say what that meet ing was. Days unci mouths of wretchedness were forgotten, like some dreadful dream. She was again his own Edith, sorrowing, repentant and happy. They were witting together one evening?Elith's head was upon his shoulder, and her face radiant as a seraph's. They woo speaking of their fnture home. "Any spot on the wido earth but this, dear Ainslie. Take me away from these painful associations." "Say you so, pretty Edith?" said a well known voice. "I but tried that faithful heart of yours to prove it. Pity to turn such a pretty comedy into a tragedy ; but I happen to bo manager here, young man I" said Mr. Jones, turning fiercely toward the "bewildered Ainslie, The revulsion was too dreadful. Edith survived bnt a week. Ainslie became hopelessly insane. Two lives were thus sacrificed to the mistakes of a moment. Both had in that brief space opened up the source of grief for life. They would not hear and forbear when it was yet time, by kindly concession, to repair the breach irritation had made and a brief word would have amended. But passion had its way, and the grave only healed the wound caused by the unguarded utterances. THE CIVIL SEUVICE. The President'! Objection! to the Reduction of the Expenses of the Civil Service. The following is the message which was sent to the United States House by the President, giving his objections to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill: To the House of Bepreientalivet: TKa molr?nr? nni'nnria>.inna tr%r iin/lrry civil expensei) of the government for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1877, is so defective in what it omits to provido for, that I cannot announce ifca approval without at the same time pointing out what seems to me to be its defects. It makes but an inadequate provision for the servioo at best, and in some instances fails to make any provision whatever. Notably among the first class is the reduction in the ordinary annual appropriations for the revenue cutter service to the prejudice of the customs revenue. The same may be said of the signal service, as also the failure to provide for the increased expenses devolved upon the mints and assay offices by recent legislation, and thus tending to defeat the objocts of that legislation. Of this class, also, are publio buildings, for the protection, preservation and completion of whioh there is no adequate appropriation, while the sum of $100,000 only is appropriated for the repairs of the different navy yards and stations, and the preservation of the same, the ordinary and customary appropriations for which are not less than $1,000,000. A similar reiuotion is made in expenses for armories and arsenals. The provision for the ordinary judicial expenses is much less than the estimated amount for that important service, the actual expondi cures 01 me l&at, usual JCOI, miu tuo uwhuj demands of the ourront year. The provision fur the expenses of the surveys of public lands is less than one-half of the nsnal appropriation lor that service, and what are uudorstood to bo its actual demands. The reduction in expenditures for lighthouses, beacons and fog stations is also made in similar proportion. Of a claes for which no appropriation is mado, among the most noticeable, porhaps, is that portion of the general expenses of the Distriot of Columbia, on behalf of tho United States, as appropriated in former years, and the judgments of the court of olaims. The failure to make a reasonable contribution to the expenses of the nation's capital is an apparent dereliction on the part of the Uuited States, and raDk injustice to the people here who bear the burdens, while to refuse or neglect to provide for the payment of solemn judgments of its own courts is apparently to repudiate. Of a different character, but as prejudicial to the treasury, is the omission to make provision to enable the secretary of the treasury to have the rebel archives and record of captured and abandoned proporty examined and information furnished therefrom for the use of the government. Finally, without further specification of detail, it may be said that the act which in ite title purports to make provision for a diverse and greatly extended civil service, unhappily appropriates an amount not more than ?ixtyfive per cent, of its ordinary demands. Tu<* legislative department establishes and defines the aervice and devolves upon tho executive deanKml^finn annnallo pm liLUUULS kUD UUil^AUUUVi Duvwivwug too needed ostim&ccs of the expenses of such servioe. Congress properly exacts implicit obedience to the requirements of the law in the administration of tbo pablio service and rigid accountability in the expenditnre thereof. Lf is submitted that a corresponding responsibility >.and obligation rests upon it to make adequate appropriations to render possible such administration and tolorate Bach exaction. Anything short of an ample provision for a specified service is necessarily fraught with disaster to public interests, and is a possible injustico to those charged with its execution. To appropriate and t* execute are corresponding obligations and duties, and the adequacy of the former is the necessary measure of the efficiency of the execution. In this eighth month of the present session of Congress, nearly one month of the fiscal year to which this appropriation applies having passod, I do not feel warranted in vetoing an absolutely lAceasary appropriation bill, but in signing it I deem it a duty to show where the responsibility belongs for whatever embarrassments may arise in the execution of the trust confided to me. * U. S. Quant. A Tme Hero. The city of Marseilles, in France, was once afflicted with the plague. So terrible was it that it caused parents to forsake their children, and children to for' Ann fA Arrrn r\ft_ (/LLCJUL UUii^aiiUlia I!\J uuuu VTTU rents. The city became as a desert, and funerals were constantly passing through the streets. Everybody was sad, for nobody could stop the ravages of the plague. The physicians could do nothing, and as they met one day to talk over the matter, and see if something could not be done to prevent the great destruction of life, it was decided that nothing could be effected without opening a corpse in order to find out the mysterious character of the disease. All agreed upon the plan, but who should be the victim, it being certain that he who should make the examination would certainly die soon after. There was a dead pause! Suddenly, one of the most celebrated phyBioians, a man in the prime of life, rose from his seat and said: " Be it so; I devote myself to the safety of my country. Before this numerous assembly, I swear, in the name of humanity and religion, that to-morrow at the break of day I will dissect a corpse, and write down what I observe." He immediately left the room, and, as he was rich, ho made out a will, and spent the night in religions exercises. During the day a man died in his hou?e of the plague, and at daybreak on tl e following morning, the physician, whose name was Guyan, entered the room, and critically made the necessary examinations, writing down all his surgical observations. He then left the room, threw the papers into a vase of vinegar, that they might not convey the diseaso to another, and retired to a convenient place, where he died in twelve hours. Thus died a true hero I While we all admire the bravery which appears on the battlefield, Jet us not forget that there is an opportunity for tho heroic in other places as well. A Cnre for Indians. When Mark Twain, in 1867, resigned his clerkship to the United States Senate committee on conchology, it was partly caused by his tender of the following advico concerning tho treatment of the Indians in the Wert: I next went to the secretary of war, who was not inclined to see me at all until ho learned that I was connected with the government. If I had not been on important business, I suppose I would not have got in. I asked for a light (he was smoking at the time), and then told him I had no fault to find with his defending the parole stipulations of General Lee and his companions in arms, but that I could not approve of his method of fighting the Indians on the plains. I said ho fought too scattering. He ought to get them more together?get them together in some convenient place, where he should have provisions enough for both parties, and then have a general ma-^iicre. I said there was nothing so convincing to tho Indian as a general massacre. If he could not approve of the massacre, I said the next surest thing for an Indian was soap and education. Soap and education are not so sudden as a massacre, but they ore more deadly in the long run; bfcause a half massacred Indiau may recover, but if you educate him and wasn mm it is oouna to nnisn nmrsome time or other. It undermines his constitution; it strikes at the foundation of bis being. "Sir," I said, "the time hns come when blood curdling cruelty ' has becotno unnecessary. Inflict soap and a spelling book on every Indian : that ravages the plains, and let them ' die!" Anchored. ?The captain of a schooner j on the sound was Hteering, when the , mate went aft and proffered certain ad- i vice as to the course, which offended the superior officer, who cried out: 1 " Mate Tompkins, you jest go forward ] and tend to your end of this skuner, and I'll fond to mine."

The conference report of the Army bill was agreed to by both Houses 01 the United States Congress. The Senate refused to agreo to any reduction of army officers' pay, and insisted on striking out "the seven sections which contkfiied new legislation proposing reforms, reorganization, eto., and in those respects the House yielded, but the Senate proposed, and the House conferees agree', rather than further delay the passage of the bill, to the following provision: That the whole subject matter of reform and reorganization of the army shall be referred to a commission consisting of two members of tho Seiiute and two members of the House, to be appointed by the presiding officer of each; and two officers of the army, one from the line and one from the staff corps, to be selected by the President, with special reference to their knowledge of the organization of, and experience in, the service. Said commissioners shall carefully examine into all mat tors with reference to the demands ol the public service, as to the number and pay of men and officers and the proportions of the several arms, and also as to the rank, pay, and duties of the several* staff corps, and whether and what reduction can be made either in line or staff, in numbers or in pay, having in view a just and reasonable economy in the expenditure of public money, the actual necessities of the military service, and tho capacity for rapid and effective increase in time of actual war. The commission shall assemble as soon as practicable, perform their work and report to Congress, through the President, by the first day of the next session of Congress, with all the evidence, record or otherwise; and the pay of army officers shall be according to the present rate until the fourth day of March, 1877," after which it shall be paid as fixed by the report of the commission, if approved by Congress. The bill retains the provision of the House that hereafter post traders shall be appointed by councils of administration composed of army officers, gives authority for employing 300 Indian scouts in place of 150 employed under Custer. The personnel of the army is 25,000 men, as fixed by Representative Banning's bill, and the number of enlisted men in the signal service is 500, being fifty more than wafj originally provided in the House bill.
