ENCOURAGEMENT FOR TIE FUTURE.
Although there slight decrease In the gross

somewhat greater. This increase has been DUE IN part
to the better systems OF management, aud to the rcduc
tons that have taken place In the price OF labor and all
kinds OF material As prices lower than those which
have prevailed for years past must rule for several years
TO come there be little doubt that the proportion Of
earnings To gross will continue to increase. Not

place IN the payment Of interest an encouraging view
should taken Of this great investment there

At that time the railroad system Of the country
was only partially completed. Tho traffic OF each

HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION !
OF THE MISSOURI
New ORLEANS, La, January 4, 1875.
Hon. w. ". BsIknaP, Secretary Of Var,
Washington, d. C.:
Ii is with deep regret that | have 10
announce to you the existence in this
State of spirit OF defiance TO all lawful
authority, and an insecurity Of life which
is hardly realized by the General Govern
ment or the country ut large. The lives
Of citizens here have become
so jeopardized that unless
something is done to give protection to
the people, all the security usually afford
ed BY the laws, will be oyer-ridden in de-
fiancc to the laws, and the murder Of in
dividuals seems to be looked upon by the
community here from u standpoint which
gives impunity to all who choose to IN
dulge in either, and the civil government
appears powerless to punish or even ar
rest. l have tonight assumed control
over the Department OF the Gulf.

CORPORAL John Smiths Legislature.

Corporal John Smith with four men
was employed lately on detail duty few
miles from Fort Sill, Indian Territory.
Ii should be- mentioned that the party
was accompanied by a small and unprc-
possessing dog of the famous mongrcl
variety. Corporal John Smith and party,
in the pursuit of short journey across
the prairie. were 80 unfortunate ns sud
denly 10 find themselves most uncom-
tortablv situated. Their discontinue
arose solely from the fact that they were
! surprised and surrounded by about hun
| dred hostile Indians. The dcmcanor OF
| the savng"s indicated at once their blood
| thirStIncss and their confidence that
they were soon to call the
scalps of five United States soldiers ali
foudlv their own The redskins under
estimated the character of Corporal John
Smith. He directed his men TO avail
themselves of the only available retreat,
an old buffalo wallcw. and there, most
uncomfortable Crampcd, they mangci to
keep the Indians at bay for the day and
night. Want of food and water began To
tell on the little band, and Corporal
John Smith played his last card. He tore
of a comparatively unimportant piece Of
hi. shirt and upon it pencilrd AN earnest
appeal for assistance. This he tied about
the neck Of the disrcputable mongrel;
then battcring upa cantcen, he attached
it securely to the tail of the animal and
with vigorous kick sent the cur of
vclping painfully. 1t is afact with which
most people are familiar that dog with
a tin can tied to his tail makes good time,
and the mongrel in question was no cN-
ception. The corporal, describing the
occurrence afterwards said the dog Just
bumped himself" The Indians, thinking
the whole scene merely an act of useless
bravaio, paid no attention 10 the dog
and within two hours he arrived at the
fort with the canteen at one end OF hlm
and the message at the other. The mes
sage was read and Corporal John Smith
and party speedily relieved by company
# soldiers, at whose approach he Indians
fled. Such is the brief record Of Il West
ern adventure, and it Corporal John
Smith does not receive promotion. then
republics are uugrateful and no mistake
With West Point education the Cor
paral would be invincible.
