Has~ The Marquis of Salisbury, in
the British House of Lords, wants
Great Britain put in better state of
defense. He stated the question
thus:
"Now, the army of Russia number
ed 1,053, 900 men, that Of Germany,
l,466,O0O, and that of Austria 1,161,
600 men. What have we got to meet
these?"
He then puts it as follows:
quitting our navy aside, we have,
then, in these islands 100000 regular
troops, 100000 militia and other IT.
regular troops, and 10000 volun-
teers. The militia and volunteers
cannot, however, leave our shores,
and therefore our full strength fol-
the fulfllment of our guarantee is
the 100000 regular troops Now il
is simply absurd to suppose that we
can sustain our guarantees with such
force as we can spare from these
100000 men. It might be said that
it could not be expected we should
compete with the great monarchies
of Europe. But in case we should.
He remarked, with truth, that the
future is one of great Empires, and
that small powers will have hard
work to live at all Exchange.

The CRowN OF KING W1LL1AM.-The
regalia of the German Empire, long
kept in the Hofbourg at Vienna, and
which will probably be used at the
approaching coronation of King Will
liam as Emperor of Germany, is thus
described: First in order is the
crown, which measures just one foot
in height, and which is of twenty
four and twenty-one carat gold, be-
set with pearls and various other
gems. To keep it from pressing dis
agreeably close to the head of the
royal wearer it is provided with red
velvet cap or lining, which is worn
inside of it. The sceptre, which is OF
silver, gilt is two feet long. The
point terminates in an acorn, around
which are clustered four oak leaves,
two of them being bent downward,
while the other two are inclined up
ward. Next is the Reichs ayel-this
is what the Prussian eagle holds in
it's talons. 1t is hollow ball of the
finest gold, about a hands space in
diameter, being three and three
fourths inches across. This is encir-
cled by two rings, the one perpendic-
ular and the other horizontal. The
first mentioned is half covered with
jewels, while the ring, which is placed
horizontally, is entirely covered with
them. On the top of the ball is set
a cross, which is also covered with
gems.

OUR MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.
The establishments of Messr,. Reid d lett.

Inc establishments Of Messrs. Reid d lett.
For some time these gentlemen have been en-
gagged IN the manufacture of plows and other
articles in this city, and the junior member OF
the firm recently patented a favorite with the
farmers of this section-the celebrated Jet
Plow "-which, after many tests, those who use
it prefer for general farm work.
We visited their establishment on Broad
street, North Knoxville, yesterday, and found
Messrs R. & J. testing an improved portable
corn mill of their own invention, which for du-
rability, cheapness, simplicity of construction,
and ease in operating is destined, we believe,
to become widely known. 1t differs from other
portable mills in having wooden frame, which
is fully as strong and much less expensive than
east iron, and an adjustable ink-the latter being
q popularity of this machine-in others the ink
is stationary
With beveled gear the capacity of the Lone
Star Corn MILL which is the name the manu-
facturers hare given it. is very great, but where
a slow rate of speed is desired, the mitre gear
ing is used, which decreases it greatly. The
one used yesterday contained bur stones twenty
six inches in diameter, and with belt on
small pulley ground twelve bushels of corn per
hour, making fine quality of meal, which could
be increased one-fourth, if desired.
The rocks are of the kind known as the Ten
nessee Bur-" and are obtained from vein that
runs through Sullivan and Hancock counties,
in this State to Lee county, Virginia, and are
quarred by Mr.. c. j. Idol, of Sneedville
Messrs. Reid & Jet have orders for four Of
these these mills already, and when thew become
known will find ready sale, as they will sell
them from sos to $50 cheaper than other mills
of the same class, made elsewhere, according to
the kind of gearing used.
They are hard pressed to I'LL orders for their
plows, and are greatly delayed by reason Of
having to send off for the bolts used in their
construction, which ought to be made here.
We noticed in their wood shop coal car of
two tons capacity being made for the Wilcox
Mining Co., in Roane county, with fall-door
at each end for unloading on either boats or
cars.
The gentlemen composing the firm are practi-
cal workmen, and with no capital but brains
and stout arms, are doing what manufacturers
have done elsewhere-laying the foundation for
a mandatory of agricultural implements,
which will not only enrich them if prop erly
managed, but add largely to the wealth and
pie use the advantages they possess without
waiting for outside aid, the sooner will rimmi-
grafton come and with it wealth and pros
perity.

Adelaide Phillips.

In spite of the inclemency of the weather.
Hoxse's Hall was filed last evening by very
select and appreciative audience The first
piece, Fantasia, an aria from Rigeletto, showed
the skill of the performer and the inadequacy
of the piano, which seemed effected by the
damp weather and not powerful enough for the
hail.
Miss Phillips sang a cavatina in Fanst, and
III response to a rapturous encore, Comm
thro' the Rye"
Mr.. Levy's rendering of the familiar air,
Thou Reignest in this Bosom" fairly brought
down the house, and in response to an encore,
he played Schubert's ave Maria"
Miss Phillips Laughing Song put the.au-
dence in the best of humor, and again encored,
she sang an exquisite ballad, 1.-THE Years Glide
On, :" which displayed to great advantage her
rich contralto voice.
In place of the Cuban song, on the programme.
Miss Phillips sang the Brindise, from Lucretia
Borgia, and not wearied by the successive en-
cores with great good nature sang Kathleen
Mavourneen.n
Another cornet solo, from Mr.. Levy, was en-
cored
Mr. Hassler, who has q voice of great sweet
ness, power ana cultivation, rendered most
capitally the Figaro aria from the Barber"
and responded gracefully to an encore.
The duet, Alpine Horn," by Miss Phillips
and Mr. Levy brought the entertainment to a
close.
The concert was certainly a great treat, and
fully appreciated by those who heard it. Many
expressed their regrets that other engagements
prevented q repetition OF the concert. We I'M
derstand that quite number of our music-lov-
ing citizens called on Miss Phillips at her hotel
to express in person their thanks for the pleas
ure afforded them.
Mr.. Levy uses one of the finest instruments
in the world, being of gold, embellished with
precious stones, and he is undoubtedly one of
the finest cornet players in the world. His cornet
was manufactured by the celebrated maker,
Antiene Courtios of Paris, and was presented to
him by the Mayor of Paris in 1868

Store Robbery.

On Sunday three colored boys named La
fayette Henderson, John Smith and - Mont
gomery, were arrested on suspicion of having
entered the store of Mr. w. d. Lanford, on
the corner of Gay and Church streets. They
were searched, as were also the houses and per-
sons of their parents. but none of the alleged
stolen property was recovered.
Y Yesterday the party were taken from Jail,
where they had passed the night, and brought
before Julius Ochs, Esq, for trial, and after
hearing the evidence, the two first named were
bound over to appear before the Criminal
Court Montgomery, the youngest of the three,
being discharged.
The house was entered from the basement,
through a hole in the hearth, small boy be-
ing the operator, who selected what goods he
chose and dropped them through to confede-
rate.
Mr.. Lanford thinks he has lost $50 or $40
worth of different articles, of which only q
couple Of lead pencils, pair of suspenders
and watch were recovered
1t is said that two of the Juvenile burglars
had established q retail establishment some
where on Water street, and sold goods re-
markedly low-sar dimes ten cents box, and
other articles in proportion. Henderson was
not partner in this concern.

On Thursday last James Legg was arrested at
Russellville and brought to this city on Friday,
charged with having stolen horse. He was
taken before Esquire Jourolmon and released on
bail, when he Immediately left town. Some
doubt of the propriety of his release having
arisen, Messrs. John Barclay, Monroe Carter,
John Shipe and Gollahue Crumpley, we are in
formed, proceeded to Caswells Station on the
day following Saturday and arrested Legg,
either there or at Russellville and were taking
him off in custody, when they were overtaken
oy a crowd of citizens who rescued him from
the hands of his captors. with threats of vio-
lence, if resistance was made. This is one side
Of the case.
The other side is that Legg resisted being ar
rested by them, on the ground that they had no
authority to do So 1t is also stated that Legg
had the four gentlemen arrested by the Sheriff
Of Hamblen county, on two charges, one for
carrying pistols in violation of the law, and for
trying to make an arrest without warrant.
they Immediately gave bail, the Sheriff who
arrested them going on their bond. They were
cited to appear before Esquire Hamblen, of
Morristown, and yesterday was set apart for in
vestigating the matter. They were not impris-
oned an instant, but endured the next thing to
it, being in DURANGO where the Jail will be- if it
is ever built, for short time
Since writing the above, we have conVersed
with Mr. Crumpley, who informed us that he
and the other gentlemen were promptly on
hand at Morristown at two o'clock yesterday
afternoon, hut Mr. Legg did not appear, and he
being the only prosecutor in the case, they were
discharged as a matter of course, E
Legg's trial was set for this afternoon at two
o clock, in this city, but the impression is that
he has ''woodbined'-in other words, given
'Leg(g)-bail." The charge against him is hav
ing taken an iron-gray mare from Mr.. Crump-
ley last Tuesday night. Mr.. c. lives ten miles
from Knoxville, on the Rutledge road. Legg
is also accused of having taken horse belong
ing to Dr.Arnold. from Bells stable yard, few
days before Christmas. The probabilities are
that the Doctor will recover his animal.
