The attack on scouting party, led by Colonel
Forsyth, In October, 1868, is fresh in all mem
ories-the cunning treachery Of the In liam foe,
the surrounding of Forsyth's men on q sand
island, the long four days Of starvation and
antoierable broiliny under the hot sun, the
brave defence, and finally the rescue by de-
tachment Of Colonel Bankhead's troops Where
can we find such crueltiss pract:sed upon In
dams as were then practised upon Forsyths
men-crnelties under which some OF the poor
fellows went mad and died? All the arguments
that the enemies of Sheridan can raise against
him on the ground of barbarity can amount
to nothing. When dealing with snch cruel
foe as the Indian it is barbarity to tho white
settlers to trea. him leniently.

Is certainly something that cannot be despised.
There was one last night at No. 1o3 HowerY, but
whether IL justified It's title Is a1esion which the
spectators present were at loss to answer to their
own OF anybody else's satisfaction. There were
many who certainly were lean, some even cadaver-
Gus, tut there were also many who would not have
attracted attention account OF the sparse carnai
covering or their bones III any ball any yWhere. Is
may be that the really lean females who abound In
the metropolis, ana who might have been there had
they seen at, were rather TOO bashu to undergo tho
ordeal OF q pubic exhibition; and 1t may be that
many OF them were known 10 their friends as "fuii,
round ana buxom,' and Who, Ia order to
atteDa en- 39gte, would have been CON-
PEELED to dyest themselves OF various things winch
nature DID not give them, but which shopkeepers
know who did. The festyity, however, was not
without its attraction and the fat and the lean and
rare and the medium mascanes who graced the
ball with their presence enjoyed themselves as best
they could What the gross weight OF the lean folks
there would have maze Is a mystery as the scales
were not much used, and nobody seemed Inclined 70

nant at the secret circular emanating from the
national banks for the purpose Of influencing

of Representatives against this scheme of the
banks, and adds :-''The people of the United
States are against all who will speak for, vote

AN IRISH MEMBERS EXPERIENCES IN IkE-
LAND.-Mr. Bernai Osborne experienced an
exciting prelude to an active Parliamentary
life the very day of his return for Waterford.
Ireland. His new-found constituents pressed
on him in a body at his hotel, SO that in order
TO avoid their attentions he was forced to run
up stairs, scramble through skylight to the
roof and skip over a couple of neighboring
housetops. During this trip he fell into large
tank OF water which was placed near the
foof OF one of the houses for use in case of
tire. He managed to get out with whole bones
and terribly acute rheumatism. On the 18th
OF March he was unable TO take his seat in the
House Of Commons in consequence OF his
Illness. After such initatory feats he should
certainly be able to "reach his seat" The
''best fellows in the world" those Irish cleo
tors, and quick and sharp around the ballot

The Value of pnby2e .JaHruaIs.

The cash value Of the public press has been
illustrated recently by the sale of the Neue
FreSe Presse, liberal democratic organ OF
Vienna. The price realized by the proprietors
was two and a half millions of forms, or about
one million two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars in gold. The new enterprise consists
OF joint stock company, whose statutes and
regulations have been approved of by the Minis
ter Of the Interior, which fact indicates that
governmental influence will not be altogether
foreign to the tenor Of the paper in future.
The promoters Of the NeNs Freie Prcsse,
Messrs. Eticnne, Werthnar and DR.. Fried
lander, were fully qualified for the task that
they had taken in hanl, which fac. was proved
by their journal speedily becoming the great
est advertising medium in Austria. II being q
patent fact that no journal can exist at the
present day unless favored by the advertising
public, their chief object was to render their
journal acceptable to all, and thus penetrate
to the remotest corners Of the empire. The
above facts are the vouchers Of their success.
Mr.. Etienne and DR.. Friedlander remain on
the staff during the first Eve years of the new
company's operation, at salaries that amply
prove she value of their journalistic capabilities
On perusing the German journals generally,
and especially the Austrian, the fact becomes
self-eyident that the light of progress is dawn
ing upon them, and although they may not be
quite up to the mark of American journalism,
still there is evidence OF decided improve
ment on the old system.
