Life I'm a Frontier Fort.

ttCaius" writes from Fort Riley to the ArDey
and Mary Journdl;--
''It was an unlooked-for day in the annals
of the school that witnessed the transforma-
ton of three of the light batteries into
heavy cavalry, and that saw eannoneers and
drivers turned into troopers The men, ac-
customed only to the light sabre, grinned at a
load made up of Spencer carbine, twenty
rounds of ammunition, large revolver, and
q small haversack of rations, while the horses
heavy, muscular fellows-showed un-
mistakable signs of dislike to the new bust
ness. There was hurried consultation of cav
airy tactics among officers, and there evidently
wasn't time enough given, for one commander
was heard to tel man to Timber up that
carbine, and another man adjusting his lock
was told to quit thumbing that vent. The
command left for the Indian country in gall
liant array; but they left us very down-hearted
at the prospect of lonely post. We hope
that the record they will make will not de-
tract from the past one, and that the Indians
they meet will be completely astounded. If
the latter shoot, MAIN, or steal any horses
of our section, we shall certainly start an in
dependent crusade against them, regardless
of Quakers.
meanwhile the three-inch guns and the
twelves are in park, the harness rests in the
sacks, and we no more hear the rattle of the
wheels as the brigade goes out to drill or re-
view. While they are winning fame and
using up horse-hesh, we stay at home and
make explorations. To-day we were in
structed to inspect certain unknown wilds on
the reservation, with view to ascertaining
the growth indigenous to this part of Kansas,
or.words to that effect We took our notebook
and pencil, mounted gothic mule, and started
down road which leads to the ford. The
current looked rapid, the river looked broad
but we remembered the instructions about
fords in artillery tactics, hung on to our mule,
and got through. Across the river the way
led through plain, on which there are my
riads of wild roses, which you cannot avoid,
rose-buds right and left. Then we go on by
a narrow path into woods the most wild and
dense imaginable, bending low in the saddle
to avoid the tangled vines, crossing deer
paths, clearing stumps covered with ivy or
wild oak, finally halting in little opening to
breathe the fragrance of the blossoms and
listen to the silence; and, by an instinct or a
Providence, finding mulberry tree with its
purple fruit, cool, moist, and ripe.
''Then returning, recrossing the river with
its swift waters coming full up to the saddle
cloth, we ride up to the heights-the prairies
which overlook all we have left. Here, too,
we find vast variegated CARPET of flowers,
the hues of scarlet and gold, of purple and
orange, of blue and crimson and white, this
unculed garden, this beautiful parterre; how
we would like to place bouquets from it upon
the tables of our Eastern friends, and to send
with them some of the pure airsthat gives to
these flowers their grace, their beauty, and
their perfume"

French brandy.

Cognac, with its brandy distilleres and its
"a, 600 inhabitants, is reported by the British
Consul at Tonnay- Charonte to be one of the
wealthiest towns in the world in proportion to
it's size, The quantity of brandy exported
from Tonnay- -Charente in 1868 was 9,197, Sl6
gallons, nearly the whole of which was cx-
ported to Great Britain. In 1868 the ex-
portation was only 3, ,98S, ,35S gallons, in 1866
it reached II, ,562, 210 gallons, and in 1867 the
quantity was 8, 40, APO gallons. In recent years
there has been a larger quantity shipped in
bottle instead of in cask, and although the
brandies exported in 1868 show Slight dimi-
mutton compared with 1867, yet the number
of cases containing bottled brandy
shipped has increased from 55S, 086 in 1867 to
627, SOB in 1868, of which 576, $3.50 were sent
to the United Kingdom. The least quantity
contained in a case is II bottles many have
more, but, reckoning only II in each case,
the expectation would involve 1900, 600 bot
ties. The brandy exported from Charente in
1868 was valued at $50, 43S 800 gold Not
withstanding the slight diminution in quan-
tity last year, there was augmentation in the
value. The vintage of 1868 was severely
checked by some late frosts, and the excep-
tionally dry summer operated in the same
direction, but when the grape was subjected
to distillation, the alcohol contained in the
juice was found to be considerably above the
average, and the brandy produced from
given quantity proportionally larger. 1t is
therefore believed that the exports will con-
tinue on an extensive scale this year.

British Museum makes its collection of glals
the most extensive and instructive public col
lection in the world. Mr.. Slade further be-
queathed to the Museum a considerable col
lection of engravings, and a. small cabinet of
japanese ivory carvings and metal work.

Indian history and to Arab and Persian ltera-
ture The Government presented to the
Museum the three hundred and thirty nine
volumes (Which embrace the whole range of
Ethiopic hteratme) captured at Magdala.
They are handsomely written ON vellum.

THE AMAzONIAN sIsTERHOOD.
How South American Ladies see Us.


Extract of a letter addressed to a South
American lady and gentleman who eontem-
plate visiting the United States:--
TO obtain thorough knowledge of the
Yankees you should be here in May, the
month of anniversaries-rel benevo-
lent, social reform, and Others You may
feel little interest in some of them, but
there is one that would awaken your curiosity
too keenly not to attend-that of the
Woman's Rights Association. You can have
but imperfect conceptions of the talent,
energy, and activity of committees of these
strOng-minded ladies' travelling over the
States, calling public meetings, occupying
pulpits and platforms, and even adj
dressing Legislatures The proposition
they seek to establish is, as you
must be aware, not wholly new. There have
been champions or championesses, who have
carried it much further; not satisfied in claim
ing equality with men, but going far beyond
that. Such was Lucretia MaTinella, Vene-
tian lady of the seventeenth century, who
published "A demonstration that women
are more noble, more political, more
courageous, more knowing, more vir-
tuous, and better managers than men.
What do you think of this Italian heroine
Have you any in Brazil ready to take up the
cudgel, or the pen and chastise the alleged
presumption and tyranny of us masculine
upstarts? L wonder if Lucretia was married,
and if her husband, poor man, died natural
death

sions, and dress which some of the leaders
have sanctioned already, and defantly appe II

''As the expressive Anglo-Saxon word, so
long tabooed, is now openly used by the
sisterhood without the germ Of blush, there
is no need of employing such awkward sub
stitutes as smalls, tights, truncated unmen-
tionables, inexpressibles, etc The pious
author of The Task discarded them, but
overlooked every species of attire intervening
between that of our first parents, the breech-
cloth of our Indians, and the silken small
clothes he himself wore.

1882 and fraction per Capita; of the Mid
die States, rs 80 and fraction; of the West
ern States, $4 and q fraction; of the Southern
States, $13'39 and a fraction; and of the
Pacific States, 1924 and fraction. The
New England States owe the largest amount
in proportion to the population, and the
Western States the smallest The large State
debts are those of New York, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Massachusetts,, North Carolina,
Missouri, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Ohio
making an aggregate of $240, 567, 400 as the
debt of these nine States The average of
the total debt of all the States is $500 and
fraction per capita.
The national debt on the 1st of June, 1869,
was So, ,505, ,613, which is at the rate of
$67'68 per cdpitd for the whole United States.
Add this to the debt of the States, and we
have debt of $76 '5S per capita for the entire
people.
The county debts of the State of New York
.Aamount to 1888, ,G03, ,01S'90. If to this we add
city debts in the same State, we should have
an aggregate of more than 800, 000 600. Add
to this the county and city debts of all the
other States, and the total result of national,
State, county, and city Indebtedness would
not be less than 1856 per capita for the whole
country. This in round numbers, is debt
of $3, 200, 600, 900, as a taxable lien upon all
the industry and property of the nation. At
the rate of six per cent per annum, it requires
$192, 900, 900 to pay the annual interest on
this debt; 1924, 600, 900 at the rate of seven
per cent. Who shall say that the rate of in
terest to be paid for the use of money is not
vital question to the whole people? High
rates of interest make large public debts very
heavy burden to be borne-N y Iiade-
