England and Her Soldiers.

1t appears from official statements that England
has forty thousand regular troops, ninety thousand
militia, one hundred and eighty thousand volun-
teers fifteen thousand pensioners, and reserve
of four thousand-in all, three hundred and twen-
ty-nine thousand soldiers. But with sill this force
England is unprepared for war. Her troops are
under FIVE different organizations; the volunteers
have no collective organization, and Sir ]. Pakng-
dissolved at moments notice; the militia are in
disorganzed state, and the pensioners and reserve
are scattered about in driblets.
The Pal Mat Gazette, analyzing the military
establishment, remarks: "The regulars are under
q double government which is 30 arranged that its
operations are like those Of Christian charity it's
left hand Is never allowed to know what it's right
hand doeth Suppose that we should want to put
an army OF three hundred thousand men in the
field ready for active service on few weeks notice.
is it not morally certain that all these different
bodies would fall into one wild mass Of ine1trcable
confusion Their obligations would be different,
their modes OF action would be different, they
would be under different departments, and they
would resemble each other only in their being
utterly unprovlded with any sort Of general organ
ization or superintendent, Our defences are
something like those which exist In country houses
against robbers. There Is the squire and his sons
who have rifles and fowling pieces and know how TO
use them. There is an old blunderbuss in the
the hands Of the butler, who is believed to have
loaded it twenty years ago. Ageneral impression
exists in the family that there is case Of duelling
pistols somewhere, but the key is lost and it is
doubtful whether there any bullets hut il these
things could be found it is possible that the foot
man and groom might know how to use them, and,
at all events, they could use their butt-ends and
supply deficiencies with the poker and tongs.
Where you have to deal only with parcel OF bur-
glars this state Of things may be well enough,
and the trouble and nuisance OF anything like
regular preparation for possible robbery would be
far greater than any advantage which could be de-
rived from it,"
This is q sorry exhibit. 1t is lucky for England
that the European powers do not consider her OF
sufficient Importance to be drawn into any OF their
auarrela.

The upshot Of it all is, that this squatter-
sovereignty exercised by the negro, and backed by
the Bureau must come to grief. II assistance, in
q apecunary way, can be reached, the negro must
either hire out, buy land, or pack up and make
way for him who is ready to take his place in the
field.

Packing the Jurles.

Scarcely Democrat appears in name up
on either the Grand or Petit jury list for
the next term of the Dauphin court-and
not one Of those residing in Harrisburg Ia
Democratic city,, is Democrat Whether
or not this was done to prevent the convic-
ton Of the Radicals indicted for the recent
theffs of paper and records from tho State
Capitol, we cannot say, but about the timo
of the arrest of those individuals, some of
their Radical friends were heard to declare
that they never would be convicted by
Daupbin county jury. Several libel cases
are also now for trial, on change of venue,
in which prominent Radicals are interested.
In one of these cases John j. Patterson, a
confrere and business partner Of George
Bergner, is prosecutor, and in another re-
spondent. 1t is considered the duty of
Radical court to protect its friends, and
when crime is concerned, to prevent them
from getting justice. Patriot.

but after voting they will ship them to

No Love FOR THE SOLDIERS Now
Never was the shameless hypocracy Of the

soldiers-men who carried the flag and bore
the brunt Of battle in the recent war-were
candidates for the several Offices to be filed
in that city this fall, but in every instance
were they set aside and tho nominations
given 70 professional politicians-men who
make politics trade and live of the crumbs

b ''You need not stop your nose, sir;

AWs Wei That Ends Well Act 5M Scene q
Monbodo and Agassiz say,
That men and women kind,
Like other beasts once had tail
Hung gracefully behind.
Until, by sitting overmuch,
1t wore down to Il stump;
The rest Of which may yet be seen
On what is called the Rump.
This theory may be why we have
Vain puppies now-a-days;
And, p'r'aps, originated, too,
A very vulgar phrase.
But now TO live without tail
We all must be content;
So will tell tale about
A taillcss Elephant.
An AT lean, and strong was he 7...
One of the rankest kind,
But minus of trunk before,
And Of tail behind.
He had verv woody head,
- Which was as hard as steel
Thick lips, flat nose, and tender shins,
And elongated heel.
But, notwithstanding these defects,
The pious saints Down East
Declared it was disloyal not
10 bow before the beast.
Therefore the saints stuck close to him,
No matter where he went
For a Iuahce ui'cDys loLes las nose
Where he can get a scent.
How first the animal got here
1t does not matter much
Or whether he was introduced
BY English or by Dutch.
Three billion dollars have been paid
For him, beside his keep;
And all bis ,roshippers dcclure
The Beast is rc,y Cheap.
The people surely must feel proud
In having such prize;
In honor Of the animal
Let acclamations rise,
And keep him in the bureau,
Though three billion more is spent;

AN AMUSING 1NcIDENT.-Eyerybody
about here knows crazy Bill Bailey, and we
need therefore not give explanations. Some
time ago he entered Jacob Miller's house
in this place at an unreasonable hour, and
came near being shot for thief. About
week ago, he entered house on the Island,
wentup stairs and considerably frightened
the lady Of tho house who happened to be
up yet but alone. He has been guilty of
another trick too revolving to mention in
public print. If the overseers Of Monroe
township don't soon lock him up they will
yet be made responsible for some of his
misdeeds, for We arc certain such character
is not safe on the streets. But let us come
to the main story: A few nights ago
certain girl in this vicinity sat up quite late
sparkling. The matter becoming rather
tedious, about midnight her beau proposed
to take Il moonlight promenade to kill off
monotony. During their absence Bill
Bailey entered the house, went up stairs,
occupied the girls bed, and entered upon
a good snooze. 1t so happened that, con.
trary to the rules Of propricty, the spark
ing party continued up all night and the
presence of Bill in the house was not known
till next morning when the children gave
the frightful alarm that Bill Bailey was up
stairs in Angelina's bed! Bill begged off
and said he would do so no more -,yelins-
