General GRANTS, in which report the presi-
dent is charged with having three years ago
requested this cousin to engage in certain
speculations Oh his 0he Presidents account
The President assured him that there Was
nothing dishonest in the business he wanted
hun to engage in, and that he should be lihe-
rally paid for his services. The cousin indiS-
nantly declined to accede to the request. This
iniormer does not give his name, but the
Sentinel voucles for him as 4 man who "has
"a high reputation for probity and good

that they do not deserve to Ire credited. 1t
would add not much to his reputation if this
cousin were to give his name but to traduge
the President in this manner. and thrh re-

he Is no lawyer, and has no more regard for

Victor Emmanuel's Army.

How we'll prepared Italy is to main
tain an army may be understood from
the present unsatisfactory character OF
her financial position. The ioea OF
making Rome the capital of the United
Kingdom has already cost as much as
it was worth. Its public revenue for
1870 was 938,021, $50, its expenditure
s44, ,4S5, ,O4O, showing clear deficit OF
nearly $30,0O0,00O. It's public debt in
April, 1869, was at such an uncertain
amount that it must be expressed In
round numbers at 9300,000,000. 1t
paid interest on the debt in 1870
amounting to 918,692,592. It's exports
in 1867-the last year of which we have
any record-were 96,000,O00 less than
it's imports. From one country alone
last wear it exported but one half of
what it imported. 1t has population
of 25,OOO, 900, of whom TWO years since,
before the Convention of September
was broken, 4 were Generals, l3 Lieu
tenant-Generals, 81 Major-Generals, 22l
Colonel, 263 Lieutenant-C Colonels, 759
Majors. about 1900 other officert, and
100000 were effective soldiers, or is not
effective, at least so described in the of
fetal reports. Thus on the lst OF
January, 1870, there were under colors
SAC. .442 men. These were Withdrawn
from positions in which their superior
Intelligence might have made them OF
of material benefit to the country
1892 officers, besides 1854 who were
available and might be called on at any
time to serve.

POlygamy in the Arctic Regions.

Two or three years ago an American
vessel, the Japan, was shipwrecked on
the extreme northern coast of Siberia,
inhabited by mixed race supposed to
have originated from mingling of the
Russian and Tartar tribes, among whom
the crew spent a considerable time.
Ultimately they were taken off by a
New Bedford whaler, and lately reached
the Sandwich Islands with the crews of
the ships abandoned in the Arctic
Ocean. The description which they
give of the customs and modes of life
of their singular entertainers ought to
have an especial interest for those SAN
guine persons who entertain an idea
that the whole world is ripe for the es-
tablishment of universal republic.
The staple'food of these people consists
of raw whale and walrus in state of
decomposition, while such is their i'm
moderate love of tobacco, which, in
common with alcohol, they procure
from occasional traders, IT, at children
of both sexes, only few months old,
may be seen engaged in chewing the
weed. In the summer months they
live in nuts made of walrus hide, and
in winter in holes excavated in the
mountain sides, daylight being admit
ted through holes cut in the rock,
which are stopped up with ice instead
of glass. During the summer the men
employ themselves in hunting the whale
and walrus in canoes. while the women
are kept busy in gathering grass and
herbs for edible and other purposes.
In winter the chief objects of pursuit
are deer, bear and foxes. The walrus,
however, is their staple reliance, the
blubber being placed in pits whose
warmth soon reduces it to state of pu-
trefaction, in which condition it is es,
teemed as a great luxury, while the
hide furnishes material for huts, canvas,
clothing, fishing nets, and pretty nearly
everything else. Polygamy is indulged
in to an unlimited extent, each man
having as many wives as he can keep /;
the women, if they do not suit the
tastes or meet the expectations of the
husband, being discarded and sent back
to their parents after few weeks pro-
baton. while in case of infdelity to
their liege lord portion of the offend
er's nose is forfeited for the crime.
The marines say, very naively, that they
met with many victims of this rigorous
law during their sojourn among them.

A Parrot i'm Law.

There is nothing like a good lively
neighborhood quarrel. 1t excites a
cheerful spirit of emulation, and adds
incalculable value to the language by
increasing it's stock of choice epithets.
1t also encourages spirit OF invention,
as was illustrated recently in fead OF
this kind in Detroit, Mich. The battle
was tagging sadly, when one of the bel
ligerents brought parrot into requisi-
ton to keep up the feeling. When the
man of the hostile house passed the
door, the parrot from its position in a
front window made him uncomfortably
conspicuous by shouting, " You thiefp'
and when the woman started for walk
she was informed with the most mortify-
ing publicity that she dyed her hair.
This experiment brought matters to a
crisis at once, and the arm of the law
was sought for an injunction upon the
parrot.
