RUSSIA MOVNG.-NLr mails Dy
the steamer Russia, which arrived
in New York on the I'D, contain
the following important dispatch
sent to the London Telegraph
from Salzburg, Aug 10: have
the best authority for stating that
the military organization in Rms
STA is now being pushed on 1T high
pressure. The PrusSian system
of forced service is being vigOr-
ously carried ouF. In view of the
enormous extent of the empire,
provincial depots are to be eStab-
lished. Officers are examining
the frontiers and are making re-
ports to the government of the
same fashion which has given the
Germans such advantages ia their
offensive campaigns.
The experiment is also being
tried how soon a crops d'arme ad
vancing can lay down a line oil
railway to bring forward its sup
plies. If what [ am assured bt
the actual fact and my informa
tion from a good quartee, every
thing in a political sense promise:
favorably for the future relations
of Germany and Austria. TIL,
only ground for apprehension i
understood to lie in the possibilit,
of an alliance between France ant
Russia, and | have reason for be
lieving that this contingency, i
not the maiu cause of the meeting
Of the EmperOrs at Gastein, vii
be one OF the questions most st
riously discussed during thei
: interview.

New VARIETIES OF POTATOES
IN GERMANY.-GeruIan a@licul-
turists speak quite favorably of
some of the new varieties OF pota-
toes recently brought to their no.
tice. DR. Ranch says of the ear
ly rose potato that, among thou
sand varieties, none can be found
like it. 1t is the earliest, as well
as the most prolific, of all early
potatoes, ripening within six
weeks, and keeping well until the
following spring, and even i'm
proving in taste by being thus
kept. 1t is pronounced excellent
for table use, very valuable for
stock feeding, and the richest in
starch for manufacturing purposes.
The bovinia, or stock-feeding pO-
tato, is of gigantic size and aston,
iShing in its yield. Its quality
is also quite satisfactory to the
housekeeper. The new ash-leaved
kidney potato-ashtop fiuke-iS
a very fine table variety, quite
early, keeps well, and has very
few shallow eyes. 1t is highly
recommended as a garden vegeta

he Year 1870:

1t will be observed that an
average of these rates would give
to men teachers, for precisely the
same work, from 30 to SO per cent
more than to women. 1t will also
be noticed that the Western States
are more advanced in their ideas
of justice than the Eastern; and
that Nevada pays four times as
much as New Hampshire. The
average of salaries paid to teach

New York is about S63, while in

DISCOURAGING TO BEEE Drink
ERS.-Genuine beer is as hard to
find as pure ale or porter. Not
only are malt and hop beers large

without malt or hops. Sugar,
honey, molaSSes and liquorice are
used for malt; alum, opium, gen
tian, quaSSia. al0eS, c0ccHIuS, indi

liflower head often comes from
green vitriol, alnm and salt. The
smack of age and the tingle to the

In illustrating the fruits of adj
vertising, an exchange says:s"A
family in Florida lost their little
boy and advertised for him in a
daily paper. That very afternoon
an alligator crawled up out of a
swamp and died on the front door
step. In his stomach was found
a handful of red hair, some bone
buttons, pair of boot heels, a
glass alley, a barlow knife, a pair
oflcheck pants and a paper colar.r

Mrs. Colt, widow of Colonel
Colt, is said to be the richest
omanin America. Her year
~ income is over 100000.
She lives at Hartford, Connec-
ticut. Many anecdotes are
told of her liberality, her kind
ness and her prompt business
habits. She is a warm patron
and good judge of art. But
the most honorable chapter in
her biography is the interest
she takes in the welfare and
advancement of her work-peo-
pie and dependents.

VALUE OF THE SUNFLowER
Decentralization is called by
the editor of the Journal of Ap-
piled Science to the great value of
the sunfower plant in various
economical applications. Accord
ing to this article, the sunflower
can be cultivated very readily, an
acre of land sustaining $4,000
plants at twelve inches distant
from each other. The flowers
are very attractive t. bees and
furnish a great amount of honey.
The average production of seeds
may be estimated at fifty bushels
to the acre, yielding fifty gallons
of oil. This is said to he equal TO
olive oil for table use, and is well
adapted to burning lamps, soap.
making, and painting. The re-
fuse OF the above quantity of seed
viii produce LOO pounds of oil
cake, and the stalks muy be either
burnt to furnish potash, OF, when
treated like fax, may he made to
yield a fibre as soft as silk, and in
large quality.

The NEGRO CADETS AT WEST

The NEGRO CADETS AT WEST
Observation-Disclosures, ID. g.. Aug.
22.-The trouble is not entirely
over with the celebrated negro
Smith yet. 1t seems that when
the second cadet of this color. who
was appointed early in the pres
ent summer, was sent 10 West
Point, he was placed under the
charge of Smith, who was to mi
tate the new conner into the mvs
terles of his position. Charges
are now brought against Smith to
the effect that he is hard. tyranni-
cal and Overoearing, aud that he
treats his prOtege with a genuine
savage cruelty. In several in
stances the officers of the institu.
ton have been obliged tOreprimand
Smith severely for his inexcusa-
BILE conduct. The negro cadet is
said TO be very popular with his
white associates, and to lie ex.
tremely gracious and affable in
his address.
