Az aRGUMENT FOR PEACE.

The following extracts are taken from
a series of tables recently published IN
Vienna:
The Russian army comprises S62,ooo
men. ISL. 900 horses, and 2,0S4 cannon.
Germany has 81 divisions of infantry,
5diyisions of cavalry, 1877 batteries OF
artillery, comprising $4,000 men, &c.
GOO horses, and 2,022 cannon
Austria has 45 divisions of infantry,
r divisions of cavalry, 215 batteries of
cannon, making a total of 740,2lO men,
- l25 horses, and 1000 II
English armed force comprises 41l,-
GOO men. and France 300, 900 men.
The remaining States of Europe make
Nh with the above a total of about
1000. 900 of men. IL each man could
earn on an average one dollar daily, here
would be a total loss to the world of
five millions of dollars a day. And the
cost of support and wages of the men
alone. including officers, will make five
millions more, or ten millions a day,
exclusive of the cost of arsenals, forts,
ships. wagons, tents, hospitals, etc.

A SIOUX CITY man, noticing his wood
pile grow small and beautifully less
through the combined efforts of several
of his neighbors, charged several sticks
with blasting powder. In blissful ig-
norance his faithful spouse put two of
those loaded sticks in the kitchen stove
and commenced to prepare her dinner.
She went down into the cellar for
some potatoes and soon heard some
thing like the explosion of a cannon
overhead. The family didn't take din
ner at home that day, and in the after
noon the man who attempted to blow
up the wood thief was around among
the stores looking for a new cooking
stove.

THE GUEST.

The gifted Sargent S. Prentiss once
CAV a sumptuous dinner to some
friends at a hotel in Nicksburg. Early
in the evening a stranger entered the
room in a mistake. Prentiss courte-
ously invited him to JOIN the party.
Before long the strange guest began
Boosting of how much he had drank
during the day-a cocktail here, a
smasher there, a iulep in this place, a
sling in that, and so on, apparent with
out end.
At length Prentiss said:
"Sir, do you believe in the doctrine of
metempsychosis?"
al don't KNOW" was the reply, "and
don't see that it has anything TO do
with what We are talking about
1t has" reioined Prentiss, much
much every way. 1 have firm faith
in that doctrine. I believe that in the
next life every man will be transformed
into the thing for which he has best
qualified himself in this. In that life,
sir, you will become a corner grog-
gerry"

ALEXIS, the Russian Prince who Wis
tied us some eighteen months ago, has
written a book about America, which is
issued from the press in very superb
style. 1t is understood that only a few
hundred copies will be printed, these
being for distribution among the royal
families of the world. Probably some
copies will find their way to America,
and some publisher will shortly send
out a popular edition. 1t is said that
the Prince gives us a tolerably good
character. He was much amused by a
mistake into which some of our band
leaders fell of playing the "Dirge of st.
Catherine" instead of the Russian ma
tional air, on occasions of welcome and
the like. The music of this dirge, it
seems, is properly used only at the
funeral of a member Of the royal family,
and its production here must have
caused ideal Of laughter in the Princes
suite.

Sudden Death of Mr.. Ira Eisher

On Thursday afternoon, Mr.. Ira Fisher,
long resident of Rutland and well known
to our citizens, was sitting in the yestibu'e
of the County Court House. with his
basket of apples, Sheriff Fields came up
the stairs and had moments conversation
with him and passed into the court room.
A few moments after, BENJAMIN Merritt,
the janitor, came up and found Mr. Fishci'
lying over with his head in the basket of
fruit, He went TO him and found him
scnselcss, he Immediately summoned Sher-
iff Field, and others who at first supposed
him dead, but on removing him from his
position, it was found his pulse beat and
that life was not extinct. lie WIS immcd-
ately placed in a sleigh and removed 80 his
residence on West street As he was b.
ing taken down the siairs at the court
house, he called for water, which was the
only word uttered by him. lie was accom-
panied home by f. L. Temple, GEORGE
Graves, Evelyn Pierpont aud Mr.. Merritt.
He was taken into the house and laid upon
a bed, when he almost Immediately eXpir-
ed. 1t is supposed that he died of apo
plexy.
Mr.. Fisher YVES about 70 years of age,
and had long been well known resident
of Rutland. For more than forty years he
has been an attendant upon the sessions of
the county court, offering fruit and other
articles tor sale. lie was kind hearted
man and good neighbor. There was one
trait of Mr. Fishers character worthy of
emuation-his reverence for the memory
of the dead. He was greatly annoyed at
the disgraceful and dilapidated condition
of the cemetery on West street, and circu-
lated petition last summer to the county
court to compel the town of Rutland to
give it attention and make repairs thereon,
which would probably have been heard at
the present session of the court but for his
death. He has frequently, without re-
ward for his services, with bis own hands,
brushed up the cemetery and put 1t in con-
dition. lie should be honored for these
labors, and deserves remembrance for his
respect for the burial place of the dead,
whose number he has now so suddenly
joined.
lie leaves wife and several children.
among whom is w. II. II Fisher well
known druggist of st. Adams. We are
