The DEBT To MoFHERs.-Mothers
live for their children, make self-sacri-
noes for them, and manifest their ten
derness and love SO freely, that the
name mother is the sweetest in human
language. And yet sons, youthful and
aged, know but little of the anxiety, the
nlgh0 OF sleepless and painful solicit
tude which their mothers have spent
G over their thoughtless waywardness.
those loving hearts go down to their
graves with those hours of secret agony
untold. As the mother watches by
nlght, or prays in the privacy of her
closet, she weighs we'll the words she
wlI address to her son, in order to lead
MN to a manhood of honor and useful
ness. She will not tell him all the
griets and deadly fears which beset her
sonl. She warns him with trembling
issI she say overmuch. She tries to
enarm him with CHEEKY love, while her
very heart is bleeding.
no worthy and successful man ever

THE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-Asw We
were putting our paper to press, We re-
ceived Baltimore Gazette Extra con-
tanning the Message of Grant to Con-
gress. 1t is unworthy even of synop-
sis. No reference is made by it to the
presidential situation or to Southern
complications nor does it vouchsafe ex-
PLANTATION or notice of the employment
of Federal troops in the disputed
States" before or after election or to their
recent concentration at Washington
Those, therefore, who have been look
ing, like ourselves, to the Message to
outline the radical plan of battle have
been badly cheated and must draft still
further on their patience. There is such
a thing, however, as forcing an enemy
to show his hand, and we have mista.

CusHrNG.-Caleb Gushing, who now
advises the usurpation Of dictatorisl
powers by Grant, is the same Caleb
Cushing who in 1860 declared that il
the Southern people did NOT resist the
election of Lincoln with arms they were
degenerate sons Of their. Revolutionary
sires and not worthy the respect Of Tie
Northern people. Gushing lodged over
to the other side within q year after
making this declaration and was q Wig
orous supporter Of the war; and should
Tilden be inaugurated on the 9Th Of
March, as is most probable he will be,
Gushing will soon be claiming to be moi
only Democrat, but one of the fathers
Of the Democratic party. There is nc
more accomplished Aapper in the Uni
ted States than Caleb Gushing, and not
more unprincipled politician.

weights amounted to the handsome ag-

the fact, that the whole expense oil

sive Of personal attention and inclusive
of original cost, which was $40, did
not exceed 81 cents per lb. Last year,
Mr.. Fenwick's porkers cost him 5!

of the cost of raising jocks. How is il

THE Two MISrAKEs.-The Demo-
cracy made two cardinal mistakes last
Congress which have returned 10 plague
them. They consented TO the admis-
sion Of Colorado when it had not the
requisite population, and they consen-
ted to the increase of the army because
there was a little scare about Sitting
Bull. If the three votes from Colorado
were not counted in the Hayes column
there would have been no difficulty
about Tilden's election: and the military
danger which threatens just now the
peace of the country does not come
from Sitting Bull but from Grant.

THE RUSSIAN ARMY AND NAVY
The warlike attitude recently assumed
by Russia is directing attention to the
military and naval strength of that EN-
pire. The regular troops in the Russian
army number 730, 900, and If to these
are added the reserves. numbering 2O6,-
900, the 377 900 Of troops in garrisons
and depots, tho Cossacks and various
local forces, the total army strength
reaches the aggregate Of ,463, 00O.-
Out of this it is thought by competent
observers that somewhat more than
three-fifths are actually available for
field service-752, 900 infantry and l72.-
900 cavalry. The Russian army also
has 2.76S guns, Of which 400 are mi
traiileuses. Russia, like other Euro
pean countries, has, by law, universal
liability to military service, and theo-
retically this ought to give her between
two and three millions of soldiers, but
practically, the most strenuous efforts
cannot, il seems, procure her a greater
force than that mentioned above. The
Russian army in its recent peace foot
ing had 80, 900 officers and, as We have
stated, 730. 900 men. On a war footing
this is increased to 40. 900 officers and
POO, 900 men. The Government has
for years past been carrying out reforms
calculated to improve the morale OF the
troops, but the army is at best in a
transition state. and these reforms can
not be completed for several years
The mobilization Of the army will oc-
cupy at least two months. The Rus
sian navy contains nearly 900 vessels,
mounting 1900 guns, Of which % are
iron-clads, with 1S4 guns. The man.
n,ng Of the navy requires about $4,000
men. The Peter the Great and the
Admiral Popof are the most powerful
war vessels in the Russian feet. The
former is a.double-turret ship and the
latter circular battery Of novel con-
struction.
