THE PEOPLES ARMY.
By MRS. L. 4. SMITH.

Not with trsmpet's peal or glitter of steel,
With no sound Of the martial drum,
From the prsiries wide and the green hillside
To-day to our legions come;
Yet many hsrd-won field attests
The strength Of the sturdy arms
That, in battling toll with the stubborn soil,
Have wrested these tmiling farms.
Earth's rudest waste We have still replaced
With tho wealth Of the waving grain;
And LIES best years. with its hopes and fears,
Have been spent in the strife in vain;
For what avaiis when our labor fails
To gather it's just rewards,
And the fields We pillow and plant and SOW
Are reaped by our railway lords?
Like the spiritless slave we toll and save
To give to their grasping hands
The fairest yield of our flock and field
Aye, give, in the end, our lands!
o son of the SOIL bronzed soldier of toll,
For this did you brave the past
In the blood-bought home, when peace had come
That the stranger might dwell at the last
Lo hand in hand, over all the land
Again do our armies grow;
And the arm that could smite for the slaves birth.
right
May yet deal for its own blow
Thrice armed they come, without beat of drum,
Or herald of warlike notes,
And the tongue and pen OF unbought men,
And freemen's unbought votes.
And in the shout that to-day rings out
From a million voices clear,
Let our would-be kings and corruption rings
Fste's voicein the peoples hear.
Like chaff from the fiail in the hurrying gale,
As stubble before the fire,
They shall vanish away in the coming day
OF an outraged peoples ire.

A Curious Fire i'm Pittsburgh.

A Pittsburgh dispatch says: Last
June q fire occurred on the banks of
the Allegheny river which destroyed
several sheds of small value and the
fire at the time, it was thought, was ex-
tinguished. This seems to have been
mistake. The ground upon which
these sheds stood is made mostly of
cinder, screenings of coal and Stag.
This combustible stuff has held the fire
to the present time, and it has now be-
come, for several blocks along the river
front, burning mass, sending flames
into the air, sometimes to the height OF
ID or 20 feet. The fire department has
been appealed to, and is now working
on this burning material Immense
trenches have been dug, and are Gig
ging around the place, which it is in
tended shall be filed with water. 1t is
expected that by this means and the
constant working for a couple of weeks
of two engines, the underground fire
may be extinguished. Of course, this
fire Just now is a center of attraction,
and is creating a decided sensation.
Fear is expressed lest all the made
ground along the river-front may share
a like fate

is scarcely extrayagant to say that these are
sufficient already to constitute an army that
could march from one end of Cuba to the
other.
ACTIVITY continues at all the navy yards of
the United States. The monitors and other
war vessels are being made ready for active
service with all possible dispatch. The Juni-
alta, a screw gunboat of eight guns, and the
war steamer Worcester have left for Cuban
waters. Fifteen or eighteen more men-of-war
are nearly ready for Cuban service. Secretary
Robson has expressed his determination to
remove all distractions, and place the navy
on a secure footing, ready at all times for
peace or war. He has ordered recruiting
offices to be opened throughout the country,
and the navy will be recruited to the utmost
capacity allowed by law.

The Remainder of the Virginius' Pas
sengers Siaughtered-One Hundred and
Eleven Americans and Cubans Shot to
Death.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Information
has just been received here that the
balance of the crew Of the Virginius
have been shot, making Ill in all.
HAVANA, Nov. 14.-The trials af all
prisoners taken on board the Virginius
has been concluded. Only eighteen
will be saved from death. OF these,
several are engineers or fremen, who
were ignorant of the destination of the
expedition, and four or five will be set
at liberty. The others will probably be
condemned to the chain gang.
HAVANA, Nov. IL Evening. The
Diario, of Cienfuegas, says ffty-seven
of the Virginius captives were shot at
Santiago on the 10th inst. No particu-
lars of these additional executions have
yet been made public here.
New YORK, Nov. IA dispatch, Uia
Jamaica, says on the 10Th all the re-
manning Virginuis captives were marched
out, and ten detailed to execution at at
time. When these ten were murdered,
another ten were marched up, and their
dead bodies fell across those of their
companions.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14--The Admin
istration is thoroughly in accord with
the sentiment of the people in regard to
the Spanish murders, and the course of
the authorities will be heartily APP
proved At Cabinet meeting to-day,
it was determined to demand of Spain
the immediate arrest and punishment
of the parties mainly instrumental in
conducting the outrage of which the
Government so seriously complains,
and, if the CASTELAR, Government shall
be unable to give the required satisfac-
ton, this Government will proceed to
the extreme measures necessary to OBJ
tain it. There is unusual activity in all
the navy yards. The war steamer Kan
sas has already sailed, with sealed or
ders, for Cuban waters. Rear-Admiral
Scott sails on Wednesday
LONDON, Nov. 1.-The shooting of
The crew and passengers of the steam
ship Virginius is commented on at
length by the London morning jour-
mails, all of which express hope that
the executions will be avenged by the
Government of the United States.

THANKSGIVING.

Annual Proclamation of the President.
By the President of the United States
of America
A PROCLAMATION.
The approaching close of another
year brings with it the occasion for re-
newed thanksgiving and acknowledge
ment to the Almighty Ruler of the
Universe for the unnumbered mercies
which he has bestowed upon u.s.. Abund-
ant harvests have been among the re-
wards of industry. With local excep-
tons, health has been among the bless
ings enjoyed. tranquility at home
and peace with other nations have pre-
vailed. Frugal industry is regaining
its merited recognition, and its merited
rewards. Gradually, but under the
providence of God, surely as we
trust, the nation is recovering
from the lingering results of dreadful
civil strife. For these and all the
other mercies vouchsafed, it becomes
us as people to return heartfelt and
grateful acknowledgements, and with
our thanksgiving we may unite prayers
for the cessation of local and temporary
suffering. Therefore recommend that on
Thursday, the 9th day of November
next, the people meet in their respective
places of worship to make their acknowl-
edgements to Almighty God for his
bounties and his protection, and to
offerto him prayers for their continuance.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
4th day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1878, and of the independence of

PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.


Portraits of Some of the Prominent Per-
sons Connected with the Order.
The rapid increase of the order of
Patrons of Husbandry, and its intimate
connection with the farmers movement,
gives to this organization peculiar in
terest, and excites curiosity to know
its origin, and the prominent persons
connected with it. We are able to pre-
sent our readers with portraits of some
of them, and this week give those of
Messrs. 0. FL. Kelley, William Saunders,
and ID. w. Adams, to be followed by
others.
The pioneers and originators of the
movement were o. II. Kelly, of the Ag-
ricultural Bureau, at Washington, and
William Saunders, Superintendent of
the Gardens and Ground of the same
department.

AN Anti Chinese Convention was held
at San Francisco few days ago, and a
committee was formed to draft an adj
dress to the people of the United States
on the subject of Chinese immigration.
When hundreds of thousands of me-
chanics are out of employment through
out the country, the best of reasons ex-
list why we should endeavor to put a
stop to the further arrival of heathens
who are ready to work for what no CIV
ilixed man can live on, and who promise
to be of no benefit to us In any shape
or manner.

According to the Jewish statistics, as
given by their authorities, there were,
in 1870, los, 436 Jews residing in
France, including Algeria, Oran, and
Constantine.
The Jewish population is thus divided
in several districts, or, as they call it,
conscriptions: For the district of

A new State Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry is to be formed in Green
field, in Western Massachusetts,, the
home of Gov. Washburn, in December,
There are now over dozen in the State,
a large number in Vermont, several in
New Hampshire, but only one thus far

large shoe-towns, and where there are
few farmers. 1t is named the Putnam

The Atlantic Cables.

The attempt of the Great Eastern
steamer to lift and repair the Atlantic
ocean cable of 1868 has failed, owing to
stormy weather, and the great ship has
returned to England. The work is
postponed to next year. The fault has
been located at point not far eastward
of the banks of Newfoundland. The
cable was successfully grappled and
lifted several times. A portion of the
original cable, that of 1853, was brought
up during the graphing operation and
found to be in fair state of preserva-
ton.
1t was thought quite wonderful, when
the second cable broke, few years ago,
that the Great Eastern could sail to the
very spot in the painless waters and
pick up the broken rope. Now the sue
cessful graphing with cable laid five
years ago is taken as a matter OF
course.

Doc BrrRs- slight scratch from the
dogs tooth is much more dangerous
than deeper wound, because less blood
flows to wash away the poison, and to
render necessary more thorough washing
with soap and water. The part should
be instantly washed with soap and water,
and when dry, should be thoroughly
touched with oaustio potash. by physi-
oian, if possible. The milder caustics,
such as lunar caustic, 60, are worthless.
