Business PRospEcs.-The New York
Tribune Of yesterday in reviewing the
"business situation" does not take n very
rosc.colored view of the immediate fu.
ture. Itremarks that the year just closed
"has not resulted in that return Of busi-
ness prosperity for the country which
was hopefully predicted one year ago"
"The effects OF decade OF extraya:
gance in living, OF the construction OF
thousands Of miles OF railway in advance
OF the business necessities OF the country,
OF over production, Of wild speculation in
all directions, OF peculNtian on the part OF
officers Of corporations and Municipal
and State Government as well as OF the
Government Of the United States, result.
ing in grinding taxation, have been too
tar.reaching to be overcome by ordinary
efforts at economy aud retrenchment in
SO short a space OF time as two years. So
we must cheeriuIly wait and work and
hope for the good time coming, being
sure now only Of the fact that in point OF
time we are one more year nearer to gen.
eral prosperity than we were on the lst
Of January, 1875. Tho liQuidAtionS Of
thS year have no doubt been very consid.
cradle; but II Is still probably true that
much more OF that sort OF thing must be
accomplished before We reach the solid
bedrock on which 10 build the foundation
Of healthiul and successful business.

Assuming that the population Of the
city is now 2S,OOO, we had last year one
death for every 5S inhabitants. In New
York, where the population is 042,292,
they had last year 3O,674 deaths, or one TO
every 80; inhabitants.
We have no record OF births in the city,
as We should have, but taking the vital
statistics OF New York city for our guide,
there should be 10 births for every still
born child. In that city last year there
were 2,l4O still borns and 2S,SlS births.
The same ratio would give. us 42O births
inasmuch as 42 still borns are reported
for last year. This leaves a margin Of "
deaths over the births, or over IL per
cent. In New York the deaths were SO,'
GA aud the births 23,SlS, or nearly 90
per cent more deaths than births.
Our marriages last year were 2l9, but
they we're divided between the city and
county. The population of the city and
county is about $4,000, which would give
one marriage to every l6O inhabitants
or, allowing FIVE persons to a family, one
to every 80 families. The marriages in
New York last year were 9,565, or one to
every 20 families. So that, strange as il
may seem, we appear to have relatively
fewer marriages in this city and county
than in the city and county OF New York

There seems to DO a very black cloud at the
Red Cloud Indian Agency. Tho President
having detailed Lieut. Col MEnnrr9, OF tho
Ninth Oavalry, to examine and report upon
the cause Of tho exhaustion Of tho nppropria-
ton for the subsistence Of the Sioux Indiana
for tho present fiscal yenr, ho haa<nado his
report. He Ind no difficulty In ascertaining
TINT thero vas deficiency, hut as to It's cause
he Ia puzzled, partly because tho recent
Agent left the records in such ahapo that 'no
fellow oah find them out, and partly because
the Indians themselves are quite as full Of
ways that aro dark and tricks that are vain
as the Agents themsalyea. In point Of fact,
their manner OF onumorating themselves az q
basiB for subsistanco would not do discredit
to St. Louis directory man estimating basis
for population. Col MKanr1T went out
with very definite Instructions, and he
found chaos and returned With the
conviction that thoy must know more
about the deficiency in Washington
than hs could hnd out at tho Agency. The
records Of tho late Agent, DR.. sAv111g, were
either Lost, destroyed, or carried away
probably all three. This much he discovered.
Ho also found out some other cheerful facts
-that taefe "ete no quarterly returns Of

HOPE Fob THE CHR1sTIAN8 or TURKEY.
There Las been very significant ohange
in tho tona Of the Russian pross within the
Inst two or three dayo relative to the struggle
for independence now going on in Herzogo-
vina, md with which nll European Turkey
heartily eyu,pathizos. It will ho remembered
TINT Austria proposed scheme for paciaca-
ton which received tho assent Of tho Euro
pean Powers generally, and to which Turkey
WIS rca<ly 10 accede. This schomo included
guaranty from Turkey Of tho remission Of
certain taxes, representation Of tho Her.
| zcgovinian people in their local tribunals o
cultivation Of tho waste lands, aud other re-
for1ns. But the royolutioniata refused to ac-
cept my promise from Turkey, thoirpast o1-
perienco having shown them that no reliance
is to DO placed upon it. Tho feeling between
tho Turks and tho Christian inhabitauts OF
Turkish provinces Is implacable and irrecon.
cilable. The MnhomednnH do not regard
themselves as bound to their pledges to
Christian subjects auy more than tho a1ngo-
holder In tho South before the War felt him.

course, hold out against any combination bo-
tweon Rusaa and Austria to compel thom to
accept the tor1ns Of the proposed pacinca-
tion; aud it looked at ono timo as Il tho
struggle might be brought to an end through
this moans. But tho rocont utterances Of tho
Ruaaian prcss afford reason for doubling it,
Tho Moscow Gasotte, aud both the Golas and
Vodornoste Of St. Petorsburg, which arc the
leading newspapers of Russia, give notice
to tho Sclavonians TINT, If they desire md
foe1 strong enough to riso en- mass against
tho Turks, Russia will undertake to protect
them from coercion On the part Of other
nations. Coming from the Ruszian nows-
papers, this notification is more siguiacant
than similar statement would bo in English
or American newspapers about tho intention
Of their respective Governments. Tho polit-
ical utterances Of tho Russian newspapers are
always inspired. There ia no other press
under such close surveillance, and 1t Is not
permitted to Russian newspaper to print
politicnl articles that hayo not first received
tho approval Of tho Government It looks,
therefore, yory much as though Russia had
determined that Herzegovina ahall have fai.
play, and even to encourage revolt agnlnst
Turkey in it's other European provinces.
II Russia shall taka this position, 1t is not
impossible that the Turkiah provinces in
Europe may oil attain tho Bamo poaition oi
