the Lone Star State.
DURING the year ending Sept. there
were 1,152 deaths from scarlet fever in
Chicago. The greatest number, 83, died
in September, 1876, and the smallest,
Is, in June, 1877. During the same

Ara recent meeting in Chicago of the
Association for the Cure of Drunkards,
there was long discussion upon the eff
fects and cure of inebriety and opium
eating. The conclusion arrived at was
that the use of opium is a habit, while
drunkenness is a disease, and that pecul-
lar methods are necessary in the cure of
those addicted to the one and suffering
from the other.
GEORGE H. WILLIAMS, late Attorney
General of the United States, has sued
William Mckee, of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, for $500. 1t appears that
Williams was employed by Mckee to
obtain for him a pardon from President
Grant, for which he (Williams) was to
receive $4,000. He was successful in
securing the pardon, but Mckee has re-
fused to pay more than $4,000. Hence
the suit for $500.
That peace on earth and goodwill
among men may be promptly estab-
lished, the self-appointed '"Twelve Apos-
ties" of the Mormon church have issued
a ukase to the effect that their right to
reign comes from Heaven, and that any
man who doubts it will be put to death.
Of the propriety of appointing these
men to rule and guard the destinies of
Mormonism there can be no doubt.
Most of them are under Indictment for
murder and other crimes
ONE of the leading Chinese merchants
of San Francisco has sailed for Hong
Kong, for the purpose of visiting the
provinces of China whence the principal
portion of the emigration comes to the
Pacific coast. He is under instructions
from the Six Companies to advise the
people to stay at home, and to use all
possible means for the purpose of MAX
this advice effectual.
The sentence of Gambetta to three
months imprisonment and fine Of 1900
francs, for his Lille speech, in which he
said of MacMahon "soa1paettre on Sc de-
naetre''-" give up or get out lis a
rather sharp reminder that republican
ism in France is of quality strangely
unlike ours, but very like the European
article of that name. The sentence is a
great convenience for the Government,
for it will take off MacMahon's hands
the exasperating duty of preventing
Gambetta from making speeches until
after the elections.
The Texans complain that the Mexi-
can officers on the Rio Grande are not
living up to their promise to cooperate
with the American forces in the pursuit
of raiders whom the latter drive back to
the border, but seem to connive at their
escape every time. The army officers
are represented to share this feeling.
and to regard the policy of following
marauders across the Rio Grande,
whether Mexican troops are on the other
side or not, as the only Gne that will &C
complish anything.
IT seems to be understood at Wash
ington that no appropriations will be
asked for at the approaching special ses-
sion of Congress, except for the pay of
the army and navy and to meet the ex-
penses of the Federal courts. These
seem to be imperative demands, and will
probably be promptly met It is, how
ever, anticipated that the question of re-
ducing the army from %, 900 to 10000
will be raised in connection with the ap-
preparation for that branch of the SER
vice.
The military authorities have deter
mined to make vigorous effort to ferret
out and arrest the trouble-makers among
the Western Indians, who are at the
bottom of the periodical outbreaks, and
send them out of harms way, as prison
ers, to the Dry Tortugas, on the Florida
coast. 1t is alleged that the redskins
have a greater dread of Dry Tortugas
than they have of death, and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed taat when they once find
out that this will henceforth be the pun
ishment to which every bad Indian"
will be subjected, If captured, it will
have the effect to make them much more
circumspect as to their conduct.
