European Armies.

An article appeared lately in the Ber-
lin Post showing that the militaly forces
under the com .land of the three EN-
perors who nave just left the capital of
Germany are considerably more than
half of the whole forces of Europe.
The effective of the Russian army, with
out including the garrison troops or The
Cossacks of the Asiatic provinces, would
reach 1852, 464 men, with 324, 700 horses
and 2,084 guns. The Austrian army is
placed at 963,051 men, with 1928
horses and 1,424 guns ; and the German
effective is 1852. SOC men, with 239.314
horses and 2.O22 guns. These three to-
gether would thus compose the enor-
horses, and $3.50 guns. This is taking
the armies on the old war footing; but
Germany has al~ready--in 1870-7I-
shown She could exceed the number
stated as her effective by nearly 100000
men. Now, let us take the forces of all
the other European States together, and
we do not find that they approach any
thing like the above total. Instead of
nearly three and a half millions they
give only 2,143,516 men, 320,357 horses
and 1872 guns. The military forces Of
France on the war footing reach sos, 537
men, with 1899 horses and 9S4 guns
Italy has 501,977 men, with 1912
horses and 72O guns; England is placed
at 1907 men (of whom only 154,638
can be employed out of the country,
1862 horses and 1856 guns. Belgium,
Holland, Denmark, Turkey and Spain
can dispose in all of 9s1, 1854 men, 1885,
304 horses and 1882 guns. According, ]
however, to h new military organiza-
ton TO be adopted in France, the mill
tary forces of that power will be in
100000 men and 2,400 guns,
without counting the second line of the
reserve and che territorial army, which,
in case of necessity, might raise the
effective strength of the French forces
to 100000 men. Obviously, however, |
these last figures do not at present, at
least, represent any real force, although

sity to sustain a conflict with a coalition

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF
If a railroad director were lashed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had
to take their own physic before admin
istering it to their patients, fewer people
would be poisoned. DIR. Joseph Walker,
of California, took this course when he
first compounded the famous Vinegar
Bitters, which now rank as an inesti-
mat1e household remedy in all parts of
the United States. He healed himself
with this specific before he offered it to
the world. He introduced it with a
simple statement of the manner in
which he had discovered It's vegetable
ingredients and been cured while wandering,
sick and poor, among the California tribes.
He stated what the preparation had done for
himself and a few sufferers from dyspepsia,
biliousness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and
many other prevalent disorders, believed him,
tried the new restorative, and were more than
satisfied with the results. In this way the
sale OF the Vinegar Bitters began, and we
mention the fact as an evidence that in this
age of intelligence and inquiry nothing that
is really valuable to mankind can prove a pc
cuniary failure, even though it may lack the
help of capital and have to light its way
against powerful opposing interests. Within
two or three. months after it's introduction,
the article became s~elf-supporting, and it now
yields a magnifcenJ annual revenue.-[Com.

The Appor1ionment Infamy.

The following is the bill which has
passed the Legislature by party vote,
dividing the State into Congressional
Districts 1t will be seen that the dis
tricts are laid off without reference to
population or to geographical considera-
lions. They are all gerrymandered, so
as to give to the black population the
power to elect the Representatives in all
the districts except the first. The result
would be the same, under the apportion-
ment, if the white voters had majority
of ten thousand in the popular vote of
the State. All their fiendish resources
of malignity, cunning and selfshness
were taxed to put this abomination into
shape. Under this bill the negroes can,
if they choose, elect full delegation
with the exception named) of their own
race and as it contains more of worth
than the mean white element of the Rad
ical party, we trust they will avail them
selves of their power:

Reinforcement for the Liberals.
a Bugie BEmsH from Horace
G.a~V~- ..A nnh~

The movement of the Liberal Cor
Reform Republicans grows apace Their
independent organization for the Presi-
dental campaign is no longer possibil-
ity. 1t has become a certainty. The
most important event of the day is the
New York declaration of cooperation in
the movement. 1t has been sent by tele-
graph TO all parts of the country and
its signers are Messrs. Greeley, of the
Tribune; Conkling, Republican of in
influence, and brother of the Admins
tration L. S. Senator of that name
Kaufman, late Radical candidate for 1t.
Governor of New York Sheldon, and
other well known and influential Repub-
licans who have cut loose from the Cen
tralized Despotism represented by the
Grant Administration and its retainers.
The declaration of these insurgent
Republicans is addressed to the country
through the chairman of the Liberal
Republican organization in Missouri, and
the responsible names attached to it,
considered, it is one of the most remarka-
bic documents, as well as one of the most
encouraging signs of the evil times on
which we have fallen. 1t states that its
authors have been controlled in their &C
ton by the conviction that the Admins
tration wing of the organization, from
which they have separated, is governed
by purely selfish ends.
The objects of the new organization
which they propose to set up cannot fail
to command the cheerful acquiescence of
every true patriot, North and South.
Mr.. Greeley and his compatriots, echOing
the sentiment which has been proclaimed
/ by Gratz Brown and Schurz in the West,
declares that ''The time has come
''when the offenses of the past should be
''pardoned (Which means universal am
'nesty)-that all citizens should be pro-
''tected in the enjoyment of the rights
guaranteed to them by the Constitution
that taxation should be imposed (not
W DulAu u liC AdNpiCu iuICACSLo VI Tit
few at the expense of the many, butt
''for revenues, and so adjusted as to
''make the burden on the industry of the
country light as possible-that civil SER
''vice reform should be instituted-that
''the right of local selfgovernment, the
foundation of American freedom,
''should be reasserted, and the -encroach-
''ments of federal power checked" To
the people of the South, who are OPP
pressed and plundered- denied the right
of selfgovernment and compelled to bear
the evils of a corrupt and infamous rule
of ignorance and the scourings of alien
communities, without the privilege of
fair ballot, this declaration is a bugle
blast proclaiming help to a beleaguered
castle. The three millions of voters in
the Union who compose the Democratic
organization, can have no strife with
party which announces this purpose. Our
most ardent hope is that all the forces
which are arraying themselves in opposi-
ton to the corruption and despotism of
the Administration, may be welded so
as to effect the deliverance of the country,
and more especially Of the down-trodden
communities, from the yoke of the OPP
pressor.
