Gen. Terry has completely reorganized
his little army ON the Yellowstone. Gen.
Miles battalion Fifth United States in
fantry, Col. Moore's battalion Sixth in
fantry, Maj. Freeman's battalion Seventh
infantry, and Col. OTIS battalion
Twenty second infantry, are organized
into a brigade, under command of Gen.
John Gibbon. Col. M. A.. Reno sue
ceeds Gen. Custer in command of the
Seventh United States cavalry. Gen.
James Brisbin succeeds the dead Custer
as Chief of Gen. Terry's cavalry, but
while acting on The staff of the General
Commanding will retain immediate COM
mand of his column, Second United
States cavalry. Lieut.. Col. Low has
been appointed Chief of Artillery, and
and Lieut. Bradley retains his position
as Chief of Scouts. The cavalry, artil-
lery, and scouts report direct to the Di-
vision Commander, and the infantry will
act under orders Of Gen. Gibbon. Over
200 Grow and Rec Indian warriors ac-
company the expedition as scouts. The
supply department is to be kept at Rose
bud.
The strength of the command is as
follows /: Infantry, 55 officers, 922 men !;
cavalry, 26 officers, 575 men artillery,
2 officers, 40 men. Seventy-fve Indian
scouts.
The General, in conversation with a
newspaper man, states that on three oc-
GASEOUS since he has commanded the
Department of Dakota he has recon-
mended to the War Office the disarming
of al Indians of breech-loading guns and
fixed ammunition. Il is an admirable
suggestion, and if carried out would
effectually stop hostilities. Indians,
says Gen. Terry, have lost the cunning of
the bow and arrow, and need guns for
hunting purposes, but muzzle-loader
is as serviceable in killing game as
breech-loader. Had Sitting Bulls band
been armed with muzzle-loaders the dis
aster to Custer and the Seventh cavalry
never could have happened. To this
opinio- Gen. Brisbin adds another
that of taking their ponies away from
them /; dismount "a hostile Sioux and he is
worthless as warrior.

Judging from the ~ Multiplicity of move
remedies brought before the public now,
there must be an enormous increase Ii
the ailments which affiict the human
family, or else the more nervous organl-
zation arising from civilization and pro-
gress imagines diseases to which the
more vigorous barbarians of the past
ages were utterly Indifferent. There is
an establishment on the Rhine where the
grape cure is practiced, where invallds
are fed chiefly on grapes, and where the
physicians advice merely changes the
diet from one kind of grapes to another,
according to the needs of the case. And
Hans Breitman tells us of 'a beer. cure
man, from Munich, ;" who claimed that
he was able to eradicate diseases by
selecting the quality and controlling the
quantity of the national beverage of
the TeutOns.
We now hear Of new course of treat
ment practiced in Milan, Italy, wherein
the patient is subjected to compressed
air. The invalid is seated in comfort
ably furnished apartment, into which
air, chemically purified and maintained
at uniform temperature, is forced by
steam-power and kept at pressure
somewhat above that of the open atmos-
phere. DR.. Carlo Forlanini is the dis
coverer and advocate of this treatment,
and his explanation of the theory may
be summarized as follows BY increas-
ing the pressure the air is forced into
the minutest passages Of the lungs, and
much greater oxygenation of the blood
is insured, and distractions of the lung
passages, which occur in many diseases,
are removed sooner or later. And if the
muscles which expand in the chest are
weakened, the higher tension of the air
assists their action, and it remedies de-
fcient respiration, whatever may be the
cause thereof. The doctor asserts that
blood diseases, such as scrofula, can be
cured by this treatment, the oxygenation
being SO complete as to remove all for
eign matter from the blood.
The institution at Milan is stated to be
to be deliberately arranged, and fur
nished with every means Of ascertaining
the nature. and extent of the disease, and
for administering the air at the proper
pressure for each case. IF we hear
shortly of any great number of cures
of pulmonary complaints at this estab-
Hshment, we must add another function
to the list of the capabilities of the steam
engine-that of converting, not only heat
into pressure, but also pressure into
health. Scientific american.

Horse Sense.

The Omaha Bee says: ".A remarka-
bic case of equine sagacity occurred i'll
this city yesterday morning. A horse,
owned by Mr.. Brown, machinist, that
had been shod for over two years past in
the shop of ?. Peterson, Cunning
street, between Twentieth and Twenty
first, came into the shop alone and held
up his foot, indicating thereby that
there was shoe off and that he wanted
to be shod. The proprietor understood
the situation at once, and complied with
the request, putting on two shoes, which
upon examination the horse was found
to have lost" 1t is very nice story,
but If the horse had two shoes off why
didn't he, being intelligent, hold up
two feet, Ell?

The words spondulix," "disgrun-

The Timber Supply.

James Little, of Montreal has published
a pamphlet on the probable duration Of
the timber supply of Canada and the
United States, if the destruction Of for
ests goes on at the present rate Begin
ming with Maine, he limits her forest re-
sources to a period Of from five to ten
years. Her principal pineries are nearly
all gone, and many of the mills erected
Tor the white pine trade are now running
on spruce. of small dimensions. The
Eastern and all the Middle States, ex-
cept New York and Pennsylvania, are
just as badly off. The Adirondacks still
have large quantity of spruce left, and
the Susqrehanna Valley In Pennsylvania
is still rich in pine; but it is estimated
that few years more will clear the good
timber from both. Most of the South
ern States abound in pitch pine and
cypress, but have no white pine, which
is the wood most in demand for general
uses. To the vast stretches of white
pine in Michigan he allows life of only
six years; and he takes the same view of
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, and the prairie States and
Territories generally have but little for
est land, and are largely dependent on
Michigan and Wisconsin. Washington
and Oregan have timber to spare, and
distribute it along the whole western
coast of North and South America. In
conclusion, he advises more liberal en-
enlargement of the cultivation of new
forests, if only to avert in part the seri-
GUS consequences of the diminution of
rainfall, which follows these unsparing
raids upon the timber lands.

CORRUPTION has run riot In the popular
branch Of the Pennsylvania Legislature
The expulsion Of Petroff, Philadelphia
member. was in perfect keeping with the
whole record Of that most infamous body
that ever demoralised and disgraeed any
Commonwealth. OF all the corrupt mem
bers of that body Petroff was probably the
least corrupt. A large portion Of the men,
bers that voted to expel Petrof, did 20 for
no other reason than that he had decoyed
and exposed the jobbers. That members
of the Legislature who voted for the expul-
sion Of Petrof were paid by the jobbers for
doing 50, there is not q question of doubt.
The Pennsylvania Legislature is . most
disgraceful body, and its Speaker, Patterson
Il guilty Of corrupt completely in the shame
less records of the House. The appoint
ment of the three managers to conduct the
Petrof case, was malicious, unfair act,
that no Speaker possessing . moiety of
sense or honor would have committed.

TIE introduction of steam instead of horse
power on city railroads, will be decided
saving Of horse flesh, and is certainly a
feasible substitution of one kind of motor for
the other. It has already been practically
demo nstrated In Philadelphia with no OBJ
lection, but with many strong arguments
in its favor. A bill is now before the Penn
sylvania Legislature authorizing the use of
steam instead Of horse power in running the
cars, and the members of that body can
atone for some little of the great harm
they have done by taking the passage of
the bill as an opportunity to force the re-
duction of car fare.

FOR PRESIDENT p!

The blow at the Agricultural Depart
ment by the House Of Representatives of
the Forty-fourth Congress, if concurred in
by the Senate, will take from it the susie
nance that gives it life. 1t is much to be
regretted that in these days of retrench-
ment and reform, that there should be such
le9islation 40 would strike blow at the
great industry Of the nation. The House
of Representatives has abolished the De-
partment of Agriculture-not abolished it
in de faete, but taken from it that which
will destroy It's usefulness. 1t would be
far better for Congress to ignore the De-
partment entirely than to leave it remain
unprovided for, as it is, for the next fiscal
year. The gathering and compiling Of
statistical matters is the most important
branch Of the Department, yet the appro-
priation asked for that purpose by the
Commission has been stricken out, and, as
consequence, the monthly and annual re-
ports will be dispensed with, and the great
est, best sources Of education and informa-
ton to the farmers of the land will be de-
MED them. The estimated crop reports,
which the monthly statements invariably
furnished for the instruction and benefit Of
the tillers Of the soil, and not for specula-
tors, will no longer be issued. We reite-
rate that this is q blow struck at the indus
try Of the nation; the industry which gives
us our wealth; tae industry which encour-
ages and rewards honest labor, and the in
dustry which is essentially the back bone
of the Republic. The House of Represen-
tatives, in cutting off the appropriation for
the monthly and annual reports Of the
Agricultural Department, will put stop
to means that we're encouraging a great
interest of our country, by assisting the
husbandman in his labor and his wealth,
in developing the resources Of our variable
and prolific soil and in seeking to discover
its agricultural mysteries.
All through the bill the same narrow.
minded legislation is observed, and the
wonder is that even the few clerks left by
it are allowed to remain. The salary oI
the Commissioner, Chief Clerk and many
of the heads of divisions, scientists and
Others are reduced to figure which may
comport with drudgery, but not by the
standard with which intellect and intelli.
gence is measured in this country.

KILBOURNE's RELEASE.

Chief Justice Cartier has set his ring
thief friend, Kilbourne, at liberty. This
special friend Of the Chief Justice, Kill
bourne, was one of the leading men with
Cooke, Huntingdon and Clephane when
they got the Fieedman's Bank act amend
ed in Congress so as to authorize loans on
real estate as we'll as on Government
securities, which let in the Seneca Sand
Stone Company for its big grab out Of the
bank. Cartter's friends, Kilbourne and
Latta, were appointed appraisers of the
bank, and also its real estate agents, and
also trustees Of the famous real estate pool
Of the District Of Columbia. This is the
Kilbourne, too, that would not answer the
questions Of the House Committee, and
who, when arrested for contumely, ate and
drank to the amount of eighteen dollars
per day.
Judge Cartier has long been suspected
for belonging to the Washington Ring,
and he is evidently doing everything le
can to prevent the conviction Of the Ring
men and their associates in crime, and for
the very reason that hawks don't pick out
hawks eyes. The House will not do its
duty if it does not impeach Judge Cartier.

became evident that unless witnesses were
