~~AAA INV N'atiOHs Etofctuocf 80.
The Berlin correspondent of the
London Times draws a somewhat dis
mai picture OF the commercial out
look in Prussia during the coming
Winter. Prices are high, business
dull and declining, failures numerous,
and money. under the new Banking
law, very tight, and the number OF
the unemployed large and increasing
As this comes close on the receipt OF
$500, 000,0 in hard cash from
France, it furnishes one Of the hap
plest illustrations On record of che of
the truths which sensible men are
just now trying TO hammer into the
heads of the infiationists, viz, that
supplies of money which are not
drawn to country by the legitimate
| demands of trade are sure, sooner or
later, to work mischief. The money
OF the world has been well compared
to a great ocean, with the various
civilized nations lying along it's bor~
ders, and with tides which ebb and
How IN any particular place under the
influence of an increase or diminulion
of business. If a particular commnn-
lty wishes greatly to sell, in it rushes
TO enable them to do SO if they
greatly wish to buy, off it gees to the
place where they desire to make
their purchases; and the whole pros
cess, if not interfered with by crazy
legislation, goes on with as much
certainty as the rise and fall of the
sea under the attraction # the moon
But the minute, through sny agency
whatever, money is forced on a COM
munity in which trade has not called
for it, or in greater quantity than
trade has not called for it-whether
it be gold or silver or greenbacks or
three-sixty-fves-a state of disease
is established which sooner or later
brings on collapse. When an intia-
zionist, therefore, says that specie
has not prevented trouble in Prussia
be furnishes new proof Of his folly
or ignorance but he is very angry
when ! GU call him foe lish or ignorant,
just as the Chinaman is if you laugh
when be is beating gong to get the
dragon to stop eclipsing the sun.
When you tell the Chinaman he can't
interfere with an eclipse, be replies,
as the infationist does, that is your
opinion, but that many thinkers of
bis acquaintance hold different one
that there are astronomers in China
as well as in Europe or America
that a little more modesty would
we'll become you; and that your
arrogance is intolerable your astro-
nomical notions have probably been
put into head by persons anxious to
injure the gong business; and that
there is not province in the country
in which the people would not give
heavy majorities in favor Of the gong
theory OF eclIpse5.

OUR ARMY.
synopsis OF General w. t. sherman's Annual
Report

The annual report of General w
/. Sherman, after stating the geogra
phical limits of varioHs commands
says: "The aggregate strength o.
the line of the army, according to the
last reports received, is l540 officers
and 24,03l enlisted men, made up as
follows: Five regiments of artillery,
$50 officers, 1884 men; ten regiments
of cavalry, 422 officers, 1900 men ;
twenty-five regiments of infanity, s4S
officers, 1900 men; available re.
cruits, hospital stewards, ordinance
sergeants, etc., etc., 1921. During
the past winter the troops in depart.
ments of the Missouri and Texas
were employed in an arduous and Sc
we're winter campaign against the
Kwoa, Cheyenne and ComancheI n
dams on the borders of the Snake
Plains, that have for years been en-
gagged in depredations on the Texas
and Kansas frontier, resulting in their
disarmament and subsection TO author
ity. If the military commanders can
have control over the SUPPLIES
needed by these Indians, as they now
have over their persons, ! am convin-
ced by recent visit that a condition
of peace can be maintained. The
Sioux Indians have recently made in
cursions into Northern Nebraska,
mostly to steal cattle aud horses from
farms along the Pacific railroad and
north OF it. General Crook is of
opinion that the whole army, acting
defensively, cannot prevent these in
cursions, and suggests that troops be
stationed in the midst of the Indians
so as to watch and prevent them from
leaving on pretense of hunting. This
is impracticabe unless the army can
have the supervision of the necessary
supplies of these tribes within the
reservation, which is now not the
case. The reports of several COM
missions which have, under military
escort, recently been engaged in ne
gotiating with these Indians, will
throw much light upon this subject.
Generally speaking, the damage to
life and property by Indians is be-
lieved not to be so great during the
past year as in any former year, and
the prospect is that, as the country
settles up, it will be less and less each
year, until all the Indians are eetab
lished on small reservations but IN
til they acquire habits of industry in
farming or in stock-raising, they will
need food from the General Govern
ment, because the game on which
they have hitherto subsisted had d.
very rapidly.

80 from Ocean to Ocean
From the Omaha Bee.


Wednesday afternoon, as the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy train
was about to pull out from the trans
fer for the East, an Omaha gentle
man observed two men seated on, or
rather clinging to the trucks under
the dining car. One of them, appre
hensive of being informed on, entreat-
ed him, "For Gods sake don't give
US away" The gentleman question.
ed them and learned that they had
ridden in this manner all the way
from San Francisco, over 1000 miles.
The train started up and stopped at
the depot in Council Bluffs, when the
two cheats" supposing that the train
had been halted in order to put them
off, skipped out. The conductor,
when told of the fact, remarked that
"that was nothing. He bad had six
on the trucks and six on the roof at
one time" 1t seems that the amount
of stolen riding obtained at so peril
out risk is greater than any one
has any idea of, and the wonder is
that so few are killed. AS a rule
they generally ride on the trucks
through the day, and at night crawl
up on top of the car. If they are
discovered and put off, they wait for
the next train ard resume their ride,
many of them going from ocean to
ocean in this manner. The Uuion
and Central Pacific railways have 3
monopoly on this sort of travel as
we'll as on every other kind, to and
from the Pacific coast. Many of the
persons who thus steal q ride from
the Pacific coast went there swell
healed, in search of "Big Bonanza"
travelling in first-class style, in Pull
man tleepers, and enjoying three
square meals day, and, becoming
busted, they take their chances in
this way. Such is life. Winter,
however, generally puts an end to
this, although once in while fell
low is taken out from the the tool
box, under the car, half frozen to
death.

A HORRIBLE SToRY.-We have
heard Of a very distressing accident
occurring in Jackson county, West
Virginia. 1t was at ''house raising"
AS customary on such occasions,
chickens had been killed by chopping
off their heads. Two little sons of
the owner of the house to be raised
saw the chickens thus guillotined,
and during the day concluded to re-
peat the operation. 1t was just at a
time the men were lifting heavy log
into its place. The father, who was
holding one end of the log, casting his
eyes towards the little fellows, one of
whom had the ak raised to sever the
head of his brother, let go the log to
save the boy /; it fell, killing six men,
two instantly, the others living only a
few hours. The ak fell before the
father could reach the scene, severing
the neck of the son. Thus were sew
en- persons hurried into eternity in a
twinkle.

WINTER.
BIT 7. BUCHANAN Rad.

30 Winter comes, and all his heralds blow
Their gusty trumpets, and his tents Of snow
Usurp the fields from whence sad Autumn nies,
Autumn that finds a southern cline dies.
The streams are dumb with woe the forest grieves,
WailiDg the loss Of her Summer leaves;
Az some fond Rachel on her chidless breast
Clasps her thin hands where once her young she
pressed
Then filings her empty arms into the air,
And swells the gale with her convulsed despair

When they reach the market they

took his fork and began the process
of putting up his load all around, but
in an unexpected moment, in pushing
too much, his load fell over. Among

the famous Winchester horse, which
carried General Phil Sheridan during
the war, is dead, and that the skele-
ton is in the hands of Professor Ward,
in Rochester, for preservation as o

ton is off the track. "Old Winches-

honored equine citizen of Chicago,
pensioned and cared for better than
most army veterans. He is fine
appearing old fellow yet-though
little touched with rheumatism, as
the result of campaign service-and
