The Prussian Navy.

The necessity of a navy for Prussia
the minister of war in 1865. without
it, he said, she could neither defend
her coasts nor protect German trade,
nor MAINTAIN and extend her European
influence. With the strong common
sense which has done so much to make
Prussia great, Gen. Won Room dismissed
for the time the idea of making Prus.
STA maratime power of the first rank
lie only asked the means Of making
head, in case of necessity, against the
secondary powers of the Baltic and
North sea.
The opposition in the chamber stead
lily refused to grant the government
what they asked, but, in spite of their
resistance, the government went on
adding to the fleet, and immt diately
before the outbreak of the war with
Austria, it consisted of 40 steamers,
eight sailing vessels and 80 rowing
gunboats, forming total Of "a vessels,
carrying 400 guns and manned by l54
officers and |, 1914 men. After the war
of 1865, all opposition to the will of
the government was at an end. Prus.
STA became possessed of two ironclads.
one originally laid down for the
Turkish government, the other con.
structed in France. In three years
these two ironclads had increased 10

CONDITION OF the Markets.

Dealers in wheat were probably
never more in the dark regarding future ope-
rations than now The foreign market has
heretofore been looked upon as the barome-
ter for the fall trade, but to all appearances
the fereign market is well supplied, and more
over foreign dealers are afraid OF American
wheat--especially Northwestern. All fuc-
tuations in Milwaukee and Chicago for the
past two months have been caused by specu-
lative moves, for, since the great decline of
June the foreign price has not changed. The
prospect for the realiz, ion Of higher prices
by the producer is not flattering, inasmuch
as freight rates viii coup in few weeks, and
the increase may equal the advance in wheat
at the sea-board.
According to well authenticated reports, the
quality Of butter this season is below the
average, and prices Tor good qualities will
probably rule firm and high throughout the
coming season.
There is a strong feeling among pork pack
ers that the price OF hogs during the coming
season will rule low. There is a large crop Of
corn in the great hog raising districts, and
feed will be cheap.

The sullivan-Hanford Tragedy in Chicago.

The recent Sullivan. HanGord trag.
edy, in Chicago, which resulted in the
death of the latter. has been the sub.
iect of discussion by the press, public,
and pulpit for more than two weeks
past. In Chicago it has, indeed, to all
appearances, assumed partisan u.s.
pect. Great credcnce was given by
the public to one witness, McMullen,
as to the conversation said to have oc-
CURED between him and Mrs. Sullivan
at the carriage ut the scene of the
tragedy. McMullen's statement is TO
the effect that Mrs. Sullivan said that
her husband 'had cone for satisfac-
ton, and Hanford would be lucky if he
escaped with his whole hide. Mrs.
Sullivan is willing to swear that she
never used such language. Her hus.
band had come to get note of retrac-
ton, not TO get satisfaction, declares
Mrs. Sullivan. Mrs. Sullivan has been
spoken of rs lady known as remark
able "fOr the beauty and purity Of her
language and the charity of her life. ="
Her friends will never believe that she
has called any one a dog-however
man " hose record is not above suspic.
ion. A question of veracity has been
raised between him and the wife of
sullivan, and the courts will have to
decide the question. McMullen was
some time ago charged with being inn
plicated in the Illinois State Insurance
frauds and with being mixed up in
the7Canada Credit Mobiier steal. Nc
Mullen was a great partisan of liam
ford's in his fight On the school board,
and naturally his sympathies are with
the deceased.
But to return to the scene of the
tragedy and the investigation into the
circumstances attending it. There is
evidence that Mrs. Sullivan went there
as a peace-maker, got out of the car
rlage and begged that there be no dis.
turbance, and when Sanford refused to
make reparation, Mrs. S. said "For
Gods sake, Aleck, don't hurt him. :"
After that llanford dealt her blow
upon her face. This is one side of the
story, and it is about as probable as
the other. Sullivan was led to believe
by exaggerated stories about the COM
municatiOn read that it was an outra-
geous and villanous assault upon his
wife's character. that it even contain
ed reference TO some malicious inn
plication" between Mrs. Sullivan and
Mayor Golvin. Who with spirit of
respectable manhood in his compost
ton, believing his wife innocent would
not have become excited and demand
ed a retraction! The truth Of the
matter is that people informed Han
ford of certain matters which he told, ,
and to shield them he refused to make
any reparation to Sullivan. The pas.
sions of both were reused to high
pitch, Sullivan's temper being espec-
tally so, and it was mad fit that made
him aim the fatal blow which ended
the existence of Hanford. There are
certainly two sides to this tradgedy.
But before both sides are made known
and all the facts considered, it would
seem but just that public sentiment
should be impartial. and judgment
upon the man who slew Hanford should
be suspended.

A Specimen of Turkish Government.

From tie London Spectator
a correspondent of the Times at
Constantinople gives, merely incident
al, an account Of transaction in the
Turkish islands which shows, better
than volume Of argument, how
Turks govern. The people of the
southern Sporades, about 10000 in
number, living by sponge-iishing, be-
longed in 1882 to the Kingdom of
Greece, but were handed over to Turk
ely at the final settlement, They were
however allowed to continue their
self.government till, in 1857, the
Porte suddenly subjected them to
Turkish officials, and in 1869 deprived
them. for no reason whatever, of all
privileges. and imposed variety of
new taxes. The islanders fled almost
en- masse, the sponge fishing boats
sank from $50 to $50, and the prosper.
ity of the islands disappeared. The
people are ruined and the Porte not
benefited, the transaction resulted
only in pay for a few officials. This is
the way in which the Pashas eat up
their own resources under the status
quo in Turkey, which Mr.. Disraeli
calls upon all wise Englishmen to pro-
tect! Suppose the Southern Sporades
should go back TO Greece, who but the
Pashas will be the loosers

Practical End Of the Indi,n CAMPAIGN.

PRACTICAL Enu OF the ihul'n campaign.
| After the junction of the forces of
Crook and Terry on the Rosebud, they fol
lowed the trail 90 miles down the stream, then
abandoned further pursuit Of that line and
followed another, fresher trail, for consid-
cradle distance, camping ON the mouth Of
Powder river. The trail was seven or eight
days old at the point where the troops left it.
The Indians had burned all the grass rem
dering further pursuit in the faded condition
OF the horses and absence OF rations for the
men, impracticable. The correspondents
OF eastern papers severely comment
on the conduct of General Crook.
That SO experienced an Indian fighter should
allow ten thousand OF them with their fami-
lies to slip away from him seems to be inex-
plicable. And it is asserted thatif Crook had
informed Terry by courier that he was follow
ing the trail down the Rosebud, Terry could
have intercepted the savages and severely
punished them. AS il is the campaign Tor
the year is virtually ended, and Crook is re-
turning to his headquarters in Montana while
Terry will, after receiving orders, dispose Of
his forces along the frontier for the winter.

II is a sad commentary upon our
boosted civilization that the women of our
times have degenerated in health and phis-
ique until they are literally race of invalids
pale, nervous, feeble and back-achy, with
only here and there few noble exceptions in
the persons OF the robust, buxom ladies char
acteristic Of the sex in days gone by. BY a
very large experience, covering a period OF
years, and embracing The treatment OF many
thousands OF cases OF those ailments peculiar
to Women, DR.. Pierce, of the Worlds Dis
pensary, Buffalo, n. y, has perfected, by the
combination OF certain vegetable extracts,
natural specific, which he does not extol as q
cure-all, but one which admirably fulills a
singleness of purpose, being a most positive
und reliable remedy for those weaknesses and
complaints that atfict the women of the pres
ent day. This natural specific compound il
called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The
following are among those diseases in which
this wonderful medicine has worked cures as
if by magic and with certainty never before
attained 10y any medicines Weak back, ner-
vOus and general debility, falling and other
displacements OF internal organs, resulting
from debility and lack OF strength in natural
supports, internal fever, congestion, intam-
nation and liberation and very many other
chronic diseases incident TO women, not pro-
per to mention here, in which, as well as in
the cases that have been enumerated, the
FavOrite Prescription effects cure--the marvel
OF the world. 1t will not do harm in any
state or condition Of the system, and by
adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid
that severest of ordeals-the consulting of a
family physician. Favorite Prescription is
sold by dealers in medicines generally.

James Murphy Hanged at Dayton, Ohio.


James Murphy was executed on the
25th, for the murder Of William Dawson inDay-
ton, o., on the LIST OF September year ago
The murder resulted from Murphy with sever
al others, coming toawedding party and desir-
ing to force entrance. They were ordered away
by Dawson, and afterwards, in revenge, en-
ticed him from the hall where the party was
held, into the street, where he was set upon
by them. In the midst Of the struggle MUIR
ply drew a dagger and ran it into Dawson's
heart. He was captured by the police and
had two trials, being convicted and sentenced

he made a statement confessing the crime
which he had hitherto denied. The drop
fell at IS minutes to o'clock, but the rope
prepared snapped and a new one was obtain
ed. The second fall, six minutes later, dis
located his neck and he died in nineteen
minutes.

continue to occur. The governor Of Phillip
