MILITARY TACTICS 1t is said that during

git ~ and amidst such wells as never
were before heard in those g 'sdiggins," the
gallant colonel dashed off in search Of the

PURE WATER.-What killed Dr. Hodgkin?
Impure water. We wonder that travellers
don't carry with them little permanganate of
potass, few drops of which would speedily
purify any water. A friend of ours, who
has just returned from India, tells us that
he has derived the greatest benefit from it's
employment. In cases where the water was
turbid and tasting and smelling of decaying
organic matter, the addition of few drops
of the solution of the permanganate made it
in few minutes as clear and sweet as spring
water.-Medical Times and Gazette.

The Losses of Frankfort by the War.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune

A correspondent OF the New 0rk Tribune
writes thus:
Frankfort is in truth one of the greatest
sufferers by the victory of Prussia. She
seems likely to lose even her financial pre-
eminence. Hitherto she has been the money
changer of Germany, presiding over the
transfers of dozen currences, whose shift
ing values were a source of loss and inconve.
nience to everybody else, but of constant gain
to the bankers Of Frankfort. When the
thalers of Prussia came into South Germany
Frankfort scraped off slight per centage,
And when the forins of Austria went north,
Frankfort levied a toll on them. l believe
the Rothschilds never knew the day when
they could not contrive to make the rate of
exchange favor Frankfort. The city was the
middleman, and once distributed immense
quantities of goods-lattery, more of money
than anything else. 1t was here that the
Austrian loans have always been put on the
market-an operation of doubtful profit to
Austria, and still more to her subsequent
creditors, but of sure gain to the bankers who
negotiated them. Now, those loans were
always on the form basis, but Prussia will
no longer tolerate the form of Austria, nor
is it likely that an Austrian loan can be
openly taken in Frankfort. The thaler
crowds out the unhappy form. Were there
no official prohibition against dealing in
Austrian securities, Prussia we'll knows how
to discourage and hamper such financial
operations as she disapproves, and she GER
tainly will not be inclined to help Austria in
money matters, or leave her mercantile
foothold in Germany, out of which she has
been forever banished as political power.
Nor will the rigor of Prussian policy be nit.
igated by wish to continue the prosperity
of Frankfort. The city has fallen under the
dlspleasure of a man to whom the sentiment
of pity is unknown in politics, and Bismarck
has given notice that Frankfort need expect
no favors at his hands 1t is not for the in
terest of Prussia that the city should be the
headquarters of finance, for Berlin is to be
the headquarters of everything. And Frank
fort, although she becomes Prussian in name
will have chance to remember what fate
befalls those who oppose, but have not
strength to resist. Already one large part of
Frankfort capital has been transferred to
Paris, another to Augsburg, and third to
Berlin. Not even for American securities is
Frankfort. any longer the chief European
market; she is outstripped and superseded
by Berlin, and the transactions on the Bourse
of the Prussian capital are enormous.

THR PoLICE.-We believe our police
use every possible effort to prevent bur
glaries and thefts, and that they could
not be more active and wAtchfnE than
they are, or more attentive to their
duties but at certain times the force is
too smsll, we think, for efficiency. As
it 10 Rositively sure now that we have in
this city gang of thieves and burglars,
whos slough not as yet successful &c. any
great extent, if not looked after close,
may possibly be successful as soon as
they ara little better acquainted with
the city. l. is out of the question for
the very small police force that is now
employed, to guard well every part of
the city, nor should it be expected that
they 90 So, for i. is an impossibility.
Would it not be well and wise to in
crease the police force till the city is
cleared Of these graceless scaunps, or
till they are lodged safely in iair7
Or iinariIy, the present police are
sufficient, but at this time we think that
the emergency of the case demands
that the police have additional help.
Months have passed since we had any
depredations of this kind committed in
the ety. The last, we believe, wsre
last summer, and if the present gang is
cleared out, we can feel secure in our
homes.

SOLDIERS HoME yesterday we pub
lished the report of the proceedings of
the Board of the Soldiers and Seamen's
Home, as published in the Indianapolis
Journal. The prospects for securing the
hospital at Jefersonvile does not seem
to be Aattering, ss we have understood.
Il was expected that the entire hospital
buildings would be turned over to the
Board, and that some definite copclu-
sion could be arrived asAfeIstiEe to the
location of the projected enterprise. II
seems that the agent for the Genera
Government had invoiced the articles
belonging to, and the hospital itself,
with Instructions to turn it over to the
State. The estimated value of the
property is, we believe, $50, 1000, accord
ing to the invoice Of the Quartafniaster,
and the conditions upon which it was to
be turned over we're, that 1t should 60 in
with the military account of the State
for gdiustment.s The Board does not
feel disposed TO recommend the purchase
of the property at these figures, hence
the whole matter, as far as location is
concerned, remains in statu quo.
The opinion is that far better use
could be made of that sum of money,
than 10 purchase the property named.
1t was expected to secure It as dona-
ton, and in that event, it would have
been q matter Of consideration; but
since that is not certain, the only course
that could be persued was to appoint
additional agents and renew the work
upon the plan of soliciting subscriptions.
Hence, additional agents will be put in
the field in short time, whose duty it
shall DO TO thoroughly CANVASS the State
for the laboVe-named object. Strong
hopes are entertained Of ultimate sue
cess in this cause. as fne results have
been attained from great many coun-
ties already canvassed. q seal l9s@ ~
