On our fourth page will be found an ar

the strengthen the French and German
armies. We here propose to give con-
densed statement of the military and ma
val power and resources Of England, Rus
STA, Austria, and Spain, compiled mostly
from Whitaker's London Almanac.
The army estimates of England for the
year ending 31st March, 1870, amount to
the sum of .ei4,23O, 400, and provide for a
force of l29, 1876 men and ll,7o1 horses
This shows decreased change Of Fl ,225,
600, and reduction Of 10,24l men and
1900 horses. The total British establish.
ment amounts 10 Ia, 528 men; but the
force whose cost is to be betrayed out Of
the army funds, is 1919, 1875, an excess Of
1888. The British forces in India are
63,7O7, with depots containg 1886 officers
and men. The numbers in the colonies
are 1880; and those at home 51,962,
besides 1862 members of special corps,
whose exact positions are not given, being
scattered in detachments, both al home
and abroad.
On the LIST February, 1889, there were

and 20 steamships afoat, from which the
machinery had been removed-a total Of

vessele are building in the dock yards,
and 7 contract.built vessels to be compile
ted there. The force on board these ships
consists of $4,000 seamen, (including off,
cers,) $4,000 marines, (ditto,) 1000 boys.
Russia comprises one-seventh Of the
territorial surface of the globe. The NOM
inal strength of the Russian army is about
1,l4O,OOO on the war footing, and $4,000
on the peace footing; to these must be
added 10000 Cossacks on military SER
vice. The navy consists Of two great d.
visions, the Baltic feet and that Of the
Black Sea, comprising about go steamers
and Sc sailing vessels.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire is one
of the largest States on the Continent Of
Europe. Austria possesses large army,
comprising, even on a peace footing, $50,
900 men and $4,000 horses, whilst its
navy consists of &C steamers, with 1923
guns and 1851 horsepower, besides 81
sailing vessels with $40 guns.

Bag- Gold mining has been going on in
Utah with considerable success. Hitherto
for years past, President Brigham Young
has discountenanced not only mining but
prospecting through his dominions. Up to
about year ago, the few who went out on
such erraEds did not return, and have not
since been heard from, or have been
warned off" which means great deal in
Utah. Since that time placer digging has
been going on at Brigham's canon, and,
notwithstanding the lack of water, over
$l5O,OOO in dust has been bought by the
two banking houses in the neighborhood,
and it is estimated that three times the
amount has been sent to San Francisco for
assay and coinage. The silver mines oil
Cottonwood and other canons are now at
tracing the most attention. One firm has
shipped three hundred car loads of ore to
San Francisco in the first four months of
this year. Some of it brings 1886 ton
in silver, aside from 40 per cent. of lead,
which covers freight and other expenses,
bat the average yield has been about $3.50

Why do Children Die ?


In answer to the above question, the
Medical Record holds the following Ian.
guage: s8 .ealas
The reason why children die is, because
of their birth they are stuffed with food,
choked with physic, splashed with water,
sufocated in hot rooms, and steamed in
bed clothes. So much for indoor. When
permitted to breathe breath of pure air
once week in summer, and once or twice
during the cold months, only the nose is
permitted to peer into the daylight. A
little later they are sent out with no
clothes at all on the parts of the body
which most need protection. Bare legs,
bare arms, bare necks, girted middles,
with an inverted umbrella to collect the
air and chill the other parts of the body.
A stout, strong man goes out in cold day
with gloves and overcoat, wooden stock
ings, and thick double soled boots, with
cork between ard lubbers over. The
same day, child of three years old, an
/. infant of flesh and blood and bone and
constitution, goes out with hose as thin
as paper, cotton socks, legs uncovered to
the knees, neck bare, an exposure which
would disable the nurse, kill the mother
outright, and make the father an invalid
for weeks. And Why To harden them
to mode of dress which they are never
expected to practice. To accustom them
to exposure which a dozen years later
would be considered downright foolery
To rear children thus for the slaughter
pen, and then lay it to the Lord. is too
bad. We don't think the Almighty had
any hand in it.

expressed their willingness to return.

Manitoba

Manitoba is the name assigned to the
North American British possessions in
the region of the Red River of the North.
Several months ago fellow by the name
of Rel got up sort of rebellion, and pro-
ceeded to set up one horse government Of
his own. But he has pretty near played
out, and we expect every day to hear news
that he has abdicated his nominal author
ity, and run away. The report is that he
and his followers disposed of over three
thousand gallons Of raw spirits during the
past winter. The st. Paul Pioneer says
that large number Of Indians, of the
Swampy Cree and Chippewa tribes are
encamped in large numbers not very fal
from Riers headquarters, and they are
ready to seize him and his followers, if sc
ordered by the commander of the Canadian
expedition, to whom they have sent mes
sengers. Nearly all the French half-breeds
now at st. Cloud with carts are utterly
opposed to the late rebellion and hate RE

Independ emit Dodge Again.

The Madison Democrat, in reviewing

"The Third district consists Of Iowa
La Fayette, Green, Grant, Crawford
Richland, and Sank counties, and gave the
Republicans 3,9l6 majority in 1862
There is considerable trouble in the radl
cal ranks the present year, and no matter
who may be nominated the above majority
cannot be relied on. A dead set is made
upon Hazelton by the Cobb faction, but
his friends are numerous and warm, and
we anticipate his nomination for Congress
by the radical convention withonta doubt.
It is probable that the democrats will
make no nomination, but an independent
candidate will run; say Ex-Gov. Dewey Of

Until within q few years governments
did not recognize the right of their sub.

For the REGISTER,
Helen.


40, I'm going where all is beautiful"
She murmured low.
The glory and truth Of the angel world
II soon shall know"
"My life has been but a summers day,
A heeting BREATH
And now, how sweet IL lis to die,
IL this be death.r
We cannot spare our darling yet,
fearful we said
While rays Of glory shone around
Her golden head.
But we heard the dip of the silvery oars,
Upon the tide;
And we knew that the boatman, pale, had come
To claim his bride.
SO we robed her form In spotless white,
And on her brow
We placed sweet sprays and tiny buds.
As white as snow.
Then we neared the tide whose noiseloss waves
Arose and fell
And she gave her hand to the boatman pale
And sighed farewell.
And her angel voice came floating back,
Across the deep;
" o, I'm going to that heavenly land
Where none shall weep"
And she waved her hand. as she glided on,
In the morning light;
And we caught the gleam of her snowy robe.
AS she passed from sight.
But the golden gates, of the "Summer Land,
Were left ajar,
When our Helen passed; and we caught such
OF the glory afar.
Tht our hearts stood still, at the holy sight,
And we longed to go
To that blissfu land, where our sorrowing tears
Shall cease to flow.
