Russians and Germans.

The EXPLANATION which the Spectator
gives OF the hardness of the Russian
army is very shrewd one. It says
that the staff has got the campaign of
1870 on the brain; it wants to have
hosts equal to. the German ones with
the same precision, the same unfaiIing
success, and the same earthouaky re.
suits; it aims to do everything on q
gigantic scale, and to move men by the
hundred thousand across broad river
but finds that the task involves Difficult,
ties only to be met by grievous ex-
penditure of time. The Russian forces
fight we'll, maneuver we'll, and are we'll
directed but there is want Of ego J"
among them, a disposition to have
everything prepared as If an army were
a match, a tendency to wait for over
whelming masses of artillery, which
reveals certain want of self-confidence
not to be anticipated in q conquering
people. These structures are made by
the great Liberal weekly which has
criticised the policy of the British gov
eminent most numerically, espoused
the cause Of Russia, and hailed the war
BIS the most just and necessary of mod
ern times. British generals, however,
have been charged with making war

1t appears that there were several
parties living on the plantation Of Mr..
Allen, on Flat creek, Cass county, and
that they have had several quarrels of
late. On Saturday last one of the ten
ants named Reilly went to his neigh
boris house with q shot gun to settle
disturbance that was going on in the
house. His neighbor, seeing him COM
ing with gun, called to his wife for his
gun she started into the house and i'm
mediately reappeared with gun in her
hand. AS she was walking toward her
husband she was shot by Belly and in
stantly killed. Reilly then shot man
by the name of Wilson, seriously
wounding him. After the shooting
Reilly fled, and has not been arrested.

Agricultural Reporters.

No doubt many, whose experience
In agricultural affairs dates back some
years, must have been occasionally
amused when some politician or public
man undertakes to enlighteu the "hon-
est farmer" on agricultural topics. at
seeing how the ideas occasionally get
mussed up. Sometimes, however. these
knowing chaps get badly sold. A few
years ago, when beet culture began to
be popular in the West, the writer was
present at conclave of agriculturists
out there, where leading State digni-
tary undertook to praise the soil of his
beloved State. Amongst other things
he reported that "two thousand tons of
beets to the acre had been raised"
Some one whispered in his ear and he
arose to correct his statement, remark
ing that "twe hundred tons VAS what
he meant" Again he was whispered
to, and again he explained that he be.

to the figures, but he knew for a GER.

Some time ago there lived in Edin.
burgh a well-known grumbler named
Sandy Black, whose ot-recurring fits
Of spleen or indigestion produced some
amusing scenes of senseless irritability
which were highly relished by all ex-

been a good and considerate wife you
would have known before this what
liked" Sandy growled out, and slam.

house. 1t was in the spring, and a
