The Force and Disposition or the
Army.

General Sherman, in his report to the
Secretary of War, says:
The aggregate force of the army now con-
sists of 1886 men, all of whom are as
actively employed as though war existed.
By the subdivision of territory, every foot of
the country is under the supervision of a
General officer near at hand, with a part of the
army, proportional to the supposed necessity
to maintain order and peace, whereby the
settlement of the country may progress, and
civil officers be enabled to enforce the laws
of the United States. In the Military
Division of the Atlantic, there are no hostile
Indians, but troops have been actively en-
ployed aiding United States Marshals in en-
forcing the Revenue laws, and in protecting
the weak against the ~prejudices of the strong,
in the frequent cases of civil cleo
tons. These duties call for the highest
qualities of frmness and prudence, and l
an sure that the behavior of the troops, in
every instance, has commanded the respect
of all men. The care and preservation of
public property and of the seacoast forts, is
a chief duty of the troops. The chief
military events of the year have TRANSFERRED
in the military division of the Missouri,
where a state of actual war has existed for
many years and still continues. l am not
yet in possession of General Sheridan's re-
port, Dut, IN anticipation OIL ls receipt, Will
endeayor to give a concise account of some
of the chief events as gathered from the
reports and letters received during their
progress.
In the Department of the Gull, the troops
under General Anger have been shifted
from place to place in aid of the civil
authorities under the SAM state of acts as
in the Department. of the South, with
similar results, and have always used their
power with consummate discretion and good
judgment.

STANDARD REMEDIEs.-It is a fact
well known to all our readers that a few
proprietary medicines have achieved a
reputation as standard remedies, and
occupy a place in every well regulated
household, almost as universally as the
Bible and the family almanac. Fore
most among these is the Merchants Garg-
ling Oil, manufactured by the well-known
company of that name at Lockport, N.
va sovereign remedy for nan and
beast, and one which has wrought hun
dreds of well-attested cures. We need
hardly say here what the patrons of the
BLADEtully understandable we do not
make a practice of praising indiscrimi-
pately the numerous compounds offered
to the public, but since we believe the
"Gargling Oil" to be a carefully COM
pounded and efficacious remedy, we do
not hesitate to say as much.-ToLedo (O)

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from active prac-
tice, having had placed in his hands by an
East India Missionary the formula of a sim.
pie Vegetable Remedy, for the speedy and
permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung
Affections, also a Positive and Radical Cure
for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Com

wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, feels it his duty to make it known to

The depression is not confined to England,
but is felt on the Continent with almost
equal severity. Belgium and Germany are
the greatest sufferers. France is not SO bad

and trade is evidently in a critical and un

A Cough. Cold, or Sore Throat

Requires immediate attention, and should be
checked. If allowed to continue, irritation
of the Lungs, a permanent Throat affection,
or an incurable Lung disease, is often the
result. BroDn's Bronchial Troches, having a
direct influence on the parts, give immediate
relief. For Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrb,

eggs to be used. Beat the eggs(yolks and
whites separately, then stir ia the -four
till smooth add enough sweet, rich milk
to make the eggs and -four into a thin
batter, and a little salt. Grease the pan
or griddle, when quite hot, with butter

its scorching. Drop in the batter quickly
for small round cakes. Turn the cakes as
soon as nicely Drowned, taking great
care not to scorch them. When both
sides are Drowned, fold them over, put

Some think a little nutmeg or cinnamon
an improvement.
COOKING PoTAToEs.-An experienced
housekeeper thinks that potatoes and all
vegetables, in place of boiling, should be
cooked by steam, else they must be more
or less water-soaked. The simplest and
cheapest steamer is easily had by having
a steamer made to fit the large iron ket-
tie that every kitchen has: The steamer,
of tin, made to fit the kettle, the sides
fitting down, say one inch, a snug, per-
feet fit; one inch from this rim is bot
tom with holes cut in it, half an inch in
diameter and one inch apart. The

made to run up in the middle two or
three inches. This steamer can be made
for one dollar and fifty cents. When
stewing fruit, put it in an earthen dish

does not waste its flavor as when stewed
with water. Steam puddings, instead of
boiling, if you would retain the flavor.

"W'y, Amos, whar you been so long

WOman's Dress.

A Northern physician writes: A
woman, accompanied by her hus-
band, came to consult me on one of
the dreariest days last winter. Her
teeth chartered with cold; and you
will not wonder when tell you she
had on gaiter-boots, thin stocking,
loose, light cotton drawers, two skirts
of flannel, long one Of waterproof,
another of white cotton, an alpaca
dress skirt. This made seven thick
nesses, multiplied by plaits and folds,
about the abdomen. Each Of these
skirts are attached to double band;
and thus the torrid zone of the waist
was encircled by fourteen layers
All this weight and pressure rested
upon the hips and abdomen; and the
result were-what they must be, if
this pressure has been long continu-
ed-a displacement Of all the inter
nal organs; for you cannot displace
one, without in some way interior
ing with another. Here was this
woman, with nerves as sensitive as
an aspen-leaf to external influences,
clad so that every breath Of cold
chilled her to the marrow, the neck
and shoulders protected by furs, the
hands and arms pinioned in muff,
the head weighed down by layers Of
false hair, and the legs almost bare;
while her husband, the personifca-
tion of all that was vigorous in health
was envelopcd, as he told me, from
head to foot in flannel. His every
garment was so adjusted that it not
added to heat generated by the body,
but helped to retain it. | question
whether that hale, hearty man would
not have suffered twingos of neural
gia or rheumatism, had he been ex-
posed, as his wife was, to the severn
ty of our atmospheric changes. Even
in summer these changes are sudden
and severe; and then men are usually
clothed liz wooden garments, only a
trihe thinner and lighter than those
worn in winter; while women are of
ten decked in nothing but muslin,
and are chilled by u sudden nor
custer.

Harper's Ferry Described.

The scenery of this region in the
days of Washington and Jefferson
has been described by the latter, in
a passage often quoted from his
"Notes on Virginia" written shortly
before the death of Robert Harper in
1872, and presenting the view as it
shows itself from "Jefferson's Park, +"
on a hill above the village Of Har-
per's Ferry. Says Jefferson:
"You stand on II very high point
of land; on your right cQRes up the
Shenandoah, having ranged Mong the
foot of the mountain ahundred miles
to find vent; on your left approach
es the Potomac, in quest of a passage
also. In the moment of their juno
ton they rush together against the
mountain, rcnd it asunder, and pass
on to the sea, The scene is worth Il
voyage across the Atlantic. Yet here
are people who have passed their
lives within half a dozen miles, and
have never been to survey these
monuments of a war between rivers
and mountains which must have sha,
ken the earth itself to its center"
