THE STANDING ARMY.-The army has
finally been reduced to peace footing,
in accordance with the act of Congress
of July, 1870. This arrangement requires
that the army consist of one general,
one lieutenant general, four major.gen-
erals, three rigadier-generals, with the
usual complement of staff and field Off
GERS. Besides, there will be an adiutant,
quarter-master-gene commissary, and
surgeon-general, with their respective
subordinates the corps Of engineers,
ordnance department, signal corps, ten
regiments Of cavalry, five regiments of
artillery, twenty-five regiments of infan-
try, the Military Academy, and body
of Indian scouts. The rank will consist
Of 10000 enlisted men, apportioned as
follows Engineers, 800 infantry, l5,-
600; cavalry, 10000; artillery, $685. !;
non-commissioned staff, s; ordnance
sergeants and men, 80; Indian scouts,
1000; a company of laundresses, 100 /;
employees Of Quartermaster's depart
ment, $500. The total number of en-
listed men and attaches, for whom
rations will have been issued, is 35,2S4
1t is expected that it will be necessary
to re-enlist 5000 during the year to
keep the army to its standard, and as
the pay will be reduced to the ante
rebellion rates, this will be no easy task.
Commissioned officers are rendering
their designations in such numbers that
there is no longer a surplus, and the
Secretary of War has decided to accept
no further designations except for reas-
ons recognized in war times as absolute.
Among those who have thus far resigned
are many who achieved regulations for
hard service durino the var

army takes III preparing Tor long
march. The route and all the details
are arranged before the start, advantage
being taken of every opportunity which
the character of the country affords.
Thus, the heat of summer frequently
finds the circus as far North as it is prac-
ticable to 60, while as winter approaches
it gradually works its way into warmer
climate. The minutest details, which
would be entirely overlooked by an in
experienced person, are arranged with
the utmost precision. An agent who
has travelled over the proposed route
before the start makes arrangements
with the town authorities for the priv.
lege Of exhibiting ; examines the roads,
and calculates each days journey from
the starting point to the locality where
the men will be dismissed, and the ami
mails will 90 into winter quarters. Even
the arrangements for feeding and wat
tering the stock are made with won
derful nicely. The tour of circus dur
ing six months, extending over thou
sands of miles, is sometimes made with
out little deviation from the plan laid
out before the start.
Before starting each individual has
an opportunity to eat what is called
breakfast. He then gets on the most
convenient wagon, generally knowing
by experience the most comfoI table
loads for sleeping purposes, is the only
time which the circus man gets for in
dulging in the balmy air while the cara
van is on the move. If the roads
chance to be muddy or billy, the per.
formers are afforded little exercise in
helping the wagons along to their des-

she never aroused. The nurse, worn
out with constant watching, had laid
down, leaving the husband to watch
the sufferer. Soon after Mr.. Hawley
called her, saying that he could not
hear his wife breathe, and upon exam
nation she was found dead. She had
quietly passed away.
The deceased was about thirty-five
years of age. She was the first white
woman to settle west of the North
Branch. Mr.. Hawley settled on a
homestead about four years ago, and
by hard work the family were making
for themselves a comfortable home,
when this calamity fell upon them.-
Mr.. Hawley is left with three children
to continue the struggles of life alone.
He has the heartfelt sympathy of all
who knew the family.
The deceased died at the residence
of j. A. Case, in this city, where she
received every care and attention
that humanity dictated. Every
thing was done to save her, but the
injuries were of such a nature as to
render all means unavailing>

This being turned, they attempted to
stop, but one of them was upon one
end of the bridge before they could
come to halt. They then started
again for the other end of the bridge,
which was turned down the stream,

and no particular damage done.

MORE SAW DUsT.-State street is
very much in need of more saw dust
and as there is plenty of this material
for paving, we connot see why there is
not more of it on this street. 1t would
be one OF the most delightful drives in
this city if properly paved. Surely
the residents there ought not to wade
through the sand much longer, with
such quantities of saw dust to be dis
posed of.
