THE INCREASE OF THE ARMY.

For some time it has been very generally
understood that the strikes last summer
would be made a good and sufficient reason
by the administration for an increase Of the
army. Secretary McCrary has perfected
his plans, though they await the approval
of the president, and have yet to be passed
upon BY the casinet. The secretary Of war
proposes to fill up the existing regiments
without adding to the commissioned officers,
in either staff or line. This would add
about $4,000 men, and increase the esti-
mates about nine millions, the war depart
ment putting the yearly cost Of an enlisted
at $500. By this Recommendation the
secretary Of war hopes to avoid the criti-
cism which would follow an attempt to in
crease the number of commissioned officers.
He will alec obtain a force of much more
fact as large as that with which Gen. Scott
conquered Mexico. The secretary has
very reasonable hopes that congress will
agree with him and adopt his recommends
tiOns.

Tammany triumphed in the New York
democratic convention at Albany and the
Hon. John Morrisey and his cohorts were
routed. The struggle was a bitter one be-
tween the contending factions. The New
York Herald remarks that the democratic
ticket is almost certain to be elected. About
the legislative ticket the Herald says: ut
lis a fortunate circumstance tor all the best
Interests Of the state that the political
'leaders of each side this fall fear defeat. A

Drowned in q Crock of Water.

A most singular fatal accident occurred
at the town of Croton, near New Castle,
Pennsylvania, the other day. Ann Eliza
Weisner, young miss of eleven years,
started to 60 to the .spring-house at her
mothers residence, for butter and milk
for supper. She did not return as soon
rs expected, and her mother followed to
see what detained her. Arriving near
the spring g-house, Mrs. Weisner was sur
prised to find her daughter lying fiat on
the ground, with her face buried in
crock of water, and was terribly shocked
when, on 1aising her up, the young girl
was found to be dead. Miss Weisner was
in perfect health, never had falling fit
of any kind, and the only manner in
which the sad accident can be accounted
for is that she stumbled and fell, her
head striking the crock with such force
that the blow rendered her insensible and
powerless, and that her face being buried
in the water she was drowned. The
wound, or mark of violence was bruise
on the nose, which, while not sufficient
to cause her death, might have stunned
her go that she was unable to help her
self. The crock in which Miss Weisner
was drowned was an ordinary fiat two
gallon crock, and had been set under the
cave of the spripg-house roof to catch
soft water.

A School for Thieves.

James Ward, man of middle age,
was tried ut the Middlesex (Englandl
session for having stolen jacket. The
case exposed one Of the dark features OF
criminal life in London. The prisoner,
who had been several times previously
convicted of petty thefts, and was already
under police supervision, said the police
had numerically hounded him out OF all
chance of obtaining honest employment.

and informed the employer that ne bad

than another to help in his thief-catch-
ing. and then, when I couldn't serve him
the ninety-ninth turn, after benz oil
over London with him at night after
thieves, he turns round on me, and he
saws. SAYS he: 'Now I'll lag ye, >" At
the same time the pris oner solemnly de-
MED that he had taken the jacket here in
question. The jury convicted him, and
then the detective said the man had long
been systematic trainer OF thieves,
there being now several boys in criminal
reformatories who had been brought
there by him. Only since he had come
out Of prison, he had got into his power
a lad of respectable parentage, but
rather weak mind, whom he had nearly
ruined, The assistant judge sentenced
him to seven years penal servitude, with

DeadwO0d Death.

AS was resting in camp on the out
skirts of Deadwood, writes q Black
Hills correspondent, q jolly-faced man
came along and asked for a job. BE was
told that every man was working for
himself, and making mighty poor wages
ut that, when he replied:
Gentlemen, I haven't had one good
meal in three weeks I haven't been
able to get a days work !; I'm dead
broke, and the curtain is going to ring
down on this tragedy right here and
right now |"
he stepped around the fire, pulled a
revolver from q miners belt, and then
retreating back pace or two, he said
"Gentlemen, I'm going to die !. I've
starved around the Black Hills for three
months, and if there's q worse place
than this I'm envious to see it Excuse
me for wasting ammunition, but here 1
go-crack !"
He put the muzzle of the revolver to
his forehead, and never kicked after the
report. No man rose up to restrain
him. After few minutes the owner of
the revolver walked over and secured it,
and, rs he wiped spot Of blood off the
barrel, he growled out /:
"Why didn't he Jump over some cliff,
or go ont and let the In''ians tickle him
to death |"

A Ouaint Legend OF the Rainbow.

The Lithuanians IA people of Russia)
havea quaint legend respecting the rain
bow. When their chief god 'Pramzimas
was looking out of the window and be-
held the whole earth full of wars and
wickedness, he despatched two giants,
named Wandu and Wejas water and
Wind), to the sinful world, who de-
stroyed everything for twenty days
and twenty nights. While engaged
in eating heavenly nuts, Pramzimas
gazed on the scene of desolation below,
and he threw down nut shell, which
fell on the summit OF the highest noun.
tain, where few men and women and
some animals had fed for refuge. All
got into the nutshell, which floated on
the waves of the now universal food.'
The god then looked on the earth for
third time. he allayed the tempest and
bade the waters subside. The human
beings who had been saved all dispersed,
excepting few couples who remained
in that part, and became the ancestors of
the Lithuanians in the following mar
ner. As old age crept upon them, they
sorrowed greatly ut their probable ex
tinction, 80 in order to comfort them
Pramzimas sent the rainbow, who ad-
vised them to leap over the bones of the
earth. Nine times did they perform this
feat, and thence sprang n'ne couples,
males and females, from whom the nine
lithuanian tribes ase descended.
