The African monarch, King Dahomey, has
three brigades of fighting females, who have
covered themselves with glory in many wars.
q The new enterprise started by Colonel S. R.
Hamill, the details of which will be found in

that has yet been accomplished in the matter
of cheap railroad travel to the Centennial.
The merry melody of the mammoth mos
| quito is once more heard in the.land. He has

next four months.
With all the civilized world either against
| or Indifferent to the welfare of the patriot
Cubans, that noble people still hold out against
the oppressor's rule, and stand firm by their
pledge to redeem their loved country from the
slave-master's whip.
When the Democracy has marshaled its
candidates against the splendid ticket which
the Republican party now holds up before the
American public for its consideration, IL will
be convinced that 1t is not fighting against a
odd barren ideality."
General Comfy, Of the Ohio STATE Journal,
can put q large feather in his cap with great
propriety since the nomination of Governor
Hayes, as he has advocated his superior
claims to the Presidency for the past year
with .untiring energy in bis excellent journal.
s. L. N. Barlow is out In letter fayoring
the nomination of Tilden at st. Louis. By
the way, the story was set afoat the other
DAY that Tilden,was to marry s. L. NJ. BIS
daughter. No one would object to having a
son-iD-law President of the United States as
long as he behaved himself.
There is a leader in the Mexican revolution

vertisement pays for the political puff, and
Tlden pays for the advertisement.
1t was indeed novel sight yesterday in the
House to see the ex-Confederates eulogizing
the Union soldiers and urging the passage of
the bounty equalization bill. Some of them
said that the country owed the Union soldiers
debt of gratitude for defending the Republic
that could never be paid. Others claimed
that the Union soldiers had won immortal
glory by preserving the country against the
entertainments of treason. This is either an

tory movement looking towards the nomina-
tion of General Hancock at St. Louis, for the
purpose of winning the soldiers vote.

full industries of those wild tribes, who, under
the benign influence of the peace policy, have
adopted civilized life. If the Sun will take a |
mapof the Indian Territory and notice what
vast area there is lying between the ninety third
and one hundredth meridian, and particularly |
that which is now designated as the Kiowa, |
Camanche and Cheyenne reservations, 1t will |
at once perceive that there is ample room for
all the Indians in the United States and farms
to spare TO coming generations.
