The Army Bill.

The army bill which passed the
House Friday, makes a reduction in
the army of five regiments of In
fantry, N of cavalry, and one of
artillery. The number of men is
fixed at $1,000. Officers may re-
sign with a years pay. A board is
provided to weed out incompetent
and inefficient officers. The grade
of Regimental Adjutant, Quarter
master, and company wagner are
abolished. One Major abolished in
each regiment Of cavalry and artil-
lery. The aids of General of the
army reduced from 6 to 8. Adju-
tant-G Generals Department reduced
from 16 tot permanent officers,
with s detailed officers. Inspector
Generals Department reduced from
8 to 5, with privilege of 4 detailed
officers. Bureau Of Military JUS
rice, reduced from 9 to 4. Quarter
masters Office, from 81 to 40, with a
detail of 10 men additional. Sub
sistence Department, from % to IL
with . detail of 6 additional. Medi-
cal Department increased i'm reg
ular officers from 155 to 200. Com
tract Surgeons dimished from 173 to
IS. Pay Department reduced from
AZ to 81. Ordnance Department is
reduced from 81 TO 4S, with l6 adj
ditional detailed officers. Provision
is made for paying army by drafts
on Treasurer. Secretary of War
can use discretion to order pay
ments in currency as heretofore,
whenever it works a hardship.
Officers are to be elected for
details on STATS by a board to sub
ject appointments to a competitive
examination. They are to serve on
staff when detailed four years, with
an additional four years in any 9TH
er branch of staff, if detailed. The
officers who have been detailed to
do duty as professors In colleges r
hereafter permitted to do that duty
as upon leave of absence. As va
cancies occur no appointments shall
be made until the number Is reduced
to the regular number, and after
that the promotions are to
go on as vacancies occur.
The principal opposition to
the bill was to that part of it which
provided for payments by draft;
the reason given was that soldiers
would be shaved in disposing of the
drafts. The reason for putting this
provision in was founded upon ex-
perience Of payments made by the

COUNT HARRIS.
His Body Found in the Platte
River.
lLeavenworth Times, June ID.

lL~NsNtnNOrtn lines, June I'd.
The body of Count Harris was
found by a couple of boys on Sun
day evening last, May LIST, i'm the
sand, on the margin of Platte river.
near Edgarton Junction. $500 in
money and his gold watch and
chain were found upon his body.
The conclusion therefore, is, that he
was not murdered, as was generally
supposed; but i'm his wandering, got
into the river, by some means, and
was drowned or frozen to death.
Sad as IS the event, i'm itself, these
facts strip it of its hitherto darkest
feature. and will save the people of
Piatte county from the charges,
which have been so freely made,
that there are many persons
within her limits who would
take life from mercenary mo-
tives. A party of Count Harris
friends camO down from st. Joe on
the c. r. /. d p. train on Monday
morning to attend to the remains of
the unfortunate man. We presume
the boys can rightly claim the re.
ward offered for the recovery of the
body. Quite a large number of the
curious assembled at the depot, at
Edgarton Junction, and the excite
ment was at fever heat as the train
passed down Monday morning.

OF General Bristow, the new Sec
rotary of the Treasury, the st. Louis
Globe says: "He brings to his posi-
ton a thorough knowledge of the
workings of the department, ac-
quired during his services as its so
licitor. He is familiar with all the
laws and decisions which have gov
erned his predecessors, and he ought
to make a creditable record for him
self and the adm inistration. He is
q lawyer of great ability, but whether
he will make a great finance minis
ter, the equal of Chase or Fessen-
den, remains to be seen. One thing
is certain: he will not as easily be
made the victim of designing men
as Richardson proved himself to be
in the Sanborn matter"

~hydra-headed
monster

THAT hydra-headed monster
known as the Iowa pool has a very
tenacious life. Unless Omaha shall
strike at its most vulnerable point
it can safely laugh all her efforts to
scorn. That point can be reached
by the concentration of travel and
traffic over one of the three roads in
the pool.
The BEE has repeatedly advoca-
ted such a course, and we are pleased
to notice that the Herald has at last
recognized its advantages. If our
merchants and business men can
only be induced to make the expe-
riment, we have no doubt of ulti-
mate success.

efforts made to amend it in several
particulars and two motions made
to lay it upon the table, and every
member of the committee but two
who spoke upon the subject opposed

gentleman in committee who stood
by the bill being Generals Coburn

A BILL was carried through the
lower House of Congress, Monday,
to enable the settlers who have pre-
empted lands in ten or more coun-
ties i'm northern Iowa, and a num-
Der of counties i'm southern Mime
sofa, to maintain the titles to their
farms, while they may be compelled
to be absent on account of the
gr~asshopper plague, which renders
these lands uninhabitable. 1t
seems that the territory re-
ferred to was visited by immense
numbers of grasshoppers last year,
who left their eggs in the ground,
SO that at present the earth is full of
young grasshoppers, and the pros
pectis that the lands will be unten-
able for a year to come. The limit
fixed by the bill is the first of July,
1875, until which time the settlers
can be absent without violating the
titles of their homesteads.

SOMETHING FOR THE DOCTORS.

Respectfully referred TO the State Medical
society,"
Medical science has achieved
another triumph, by an operation
which "a, successfully performed
i'm Chicago last Friday. The event
referred to was nothing less than the
TRANSMISSION of blood from a lamb
into the veins of n human being.
The patient is a German, aged
t~hirty-five, who is so far a victim to
consumption that all hope of his
recovery has been abandoned, and
the experiment alluded to was
adopted as a last resource for the
preservation of life. The operation
was performed by DIR. Proegler, by
means Of an apparatus specially de-
signed for the purpose. Eight
ounces of blood were elected into
the veins of the patient in ninety
seconds. The blood was drawn
from the main artery of the lamb
through a minute silver canule,
and then transmitted TO the arm
of the patient through a gutta per-
cha tube. Every heartbeat of the
lamb propelled the vital current.
For the first few seconds of the
TRANSMISSION the right arm began to
warm perceptibly, aud this increase
of temperature was followed by a
slight difficulty in breathing. Then
the patient became dizzy and every
thing was reeling around him, and
he thought that snow flakes
were falling. At the expiration of
ninety seconds the TRANSMISSION Was
discontinued, and by that time he
could scarcely breathe. In twenty
five minutes afterwards he fully re-
coveced, regained his usual pulse,
was in cheerful spiritsand conversed
with his wife. The final result of
the experiment is looked for with
intense interest, and if a life has
been safed, medical science has
gained an additional laurel, and
Chicauo has something to boast of.

THE BEE always has admired the
pertenacity with which the claim
ants over the river have adhered to
their hopes of ultimately becoming
the eastern y. p. terminus. To-
days Nonparea dishes up a little
cold comfort for them by declaring
that the Omaha bridge bill is not
dead by any means. 1t will yet be
taken up and passed before the
close of the session. In view of the
fact that the Congress has only
about fifteen working days before
adjournment, this prediction would
seem to us somewhat reckless.

SENATOR Upton was indignant
because the United States Senate
adjourned the other day in order to
enable some of its members to at
tend the wedding of the Presidents
daughter. What would the stern
old demagogue say if Congress
should adjourn for the purpose of
enabling its members to attend a
horse race? And yet the British
Parliament stands adjourned for
several days because its members
wanted to attend the Derby,

THE Cleveland Herald, one of our
most valued exchanges, comes to us
enlarged to an eight-page metropoli-
tan daily. This is a very marked
improvement, which, we appre-
bend, the people of the Forest City
will not be slow to appreciate. The
Herald is the leading newspaper of
Northern Ohio, and its progress
and prosperity has been synoomous
with the steady growth and in
creased prosperity of that section,
and particularly of the city of
Cleveland.
