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.

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.

SINGAPORE.
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.

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

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

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."

A FIGHT WITH CHETENNES.
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. Cody coolly knelt,

let through the chief's leg and into hi8
horse's head. 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.

EXPLORATIONS IN AFRICA.
Stanley and the Sncceat he la Meetlnff
With In Finding the Source of the Nile.
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. By March 25 of

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,

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 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

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 ,

THE NEW UNITED STATES ABMI
BILL.
How the Two House* .Mettled Their Differencei?The
Conference Ucport.
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.

Why ? Not becaase it was not well built, but
it was wrongly ran. Thousands of men who
have run do*n long bofore their threescore
and ten ypars are accomplished, might have
been renewed into sprign linens and vim if
they had mod the well known Peruvian 8>rup,
wbich contains among its compjnuds the protoxide
of iron, so combined that it assimilates
with the blood and invigorates the whole system.
This sjrnp has proved jffioaoious in
thousands of cases, ard will do everybody
good who U8iB it. All druggists keep it. ' *

Why She Married the Doctor.
" So you are going to marry a druggist's
clerk ?" remarked a Chicago girl
to another on the street cars.
The question was rtRked in an unmistakable
tone of derision, and so that the
fair oeo addressed hnlf apologetically j
replied:
" Of course?don't they have all the

Indisputable Evidence.
8t. I lmo, III., July 8, 1874.
B. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo. N. Y.:? Ilristi
to add my testimony to the wonderful curative
.properties of your Ait. Ext., or Golden Medical
Diacovery. I have taken great interest in
this mediclue aicco 1 drat uaed it. I was badly
afflicted with dyspepsia, liver deranged and an
almost perfect proatration of the nervous eyatem.
So tapid and complete did the Discovery
effect a perfoot cure that it seemed more like
majiio and a perfect wonder to myself, and
eince th*c time we have never been without a
bctUe of Duscovory aud Purgative Pellets in
the houso. They are a solid, sound family
physician in iho Louse and ready at all times
to fly to the relief of sickness?without change.
We have never had p doctor in the house
*>ince wo first beguu the use of your Pellets aud
Diacoveiy. I have recommended the u-ie of
these m dicines in several ceere and comi licked
ci-os arising from, as 1 ti>ought, an impure
stete of the blood, anl in no one ease
bavo they failed to more than accomplish all
th> y *r?! claimed to do. I will only mention
one as retnurktble (though I could give you
dozens). Henry Roster, furniture dealer, of
this place, who was one of tbe moat p tiful o"bJecta
ever seen, bis face swollen out cf shape,
scales and eruptions without end, extending to
his body, which was oompletely eovered^itir
blotches and scalos. Nothing that he took
seemed to affect it a particle, f finally induced
him to try a few bottles of the Golden Medical
Discovery, with daily nee of the Pellets, assuring
him it would surely cure him. He commenced
its use somo six weeka since, taking
twn PaHaim ni?ht for a week, then ono
each night, and the Dl*covery m directed. The
result is to day Lia skin is perfectly smooth,
and the ecaly ernptioos are gone. He has
taken some seven or eight bottlea in all, andconsiders
himself cored. This cue had baffled
the skill of onr beat physicians. Messrs.
Duoford k Co., druggists. of this place, are
aelliDg largely of your medicines and the demand
steadily increases, and they give perfect
satisfaction in every case.
Respeotfoily, Vf. H. Champlin,
Agt. Am. Exp. Co.
Uahi who ar? suffering from the effects of the warm
weather and are debilitated, are advised by physicians
to take moderate amounts of whisky two or three time*
during the day. In a little white those who adopt this
adrlcefrequ nUy loor?aae the miinber of "drinks," and
In time become oonflrmed Inebriate*. A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating liquors, and which
la intended especially for the benefit of debilitated
persona, whether at home or abroad, la Dr. So truck's
Sea Weed Tonlo. Containing the jaloMOf many mediolnal
h?rb;,tbls prepaistiondcos not create an appetite
for the intoxicating cap. The nourishing and life-supporting
properties of many valuable natural productions
contained in It and well known to medical men has*
most strengthening influence. A single bottle of the
Tonlo will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For
debility arlalng from sickness, over exertion from any
oause wba'ever, a wtneglasaful of Sea Weed Tonic taken
after meals will strengthen the stomach and create an
appetite for wholesome food. To all who are about
leaving their homes, we desire to say tbat the excellent
effeots of Dr. Sohenok's a-seonab!e remedies,Sea Weed
Tonlo and Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident
wben taken by those who are injuriously ejected by a
ohange ol water and diet No person should leave home
without taking a supply of these safeguards alotg. For
aa!a by all Druggists.
