been meeting with numerous reverses
lately, and the Turkish star seems to
be in the ascendant. Faith in the ul-
innate success Of the Russian arms is
still strong, however.

"A conductor on the Atlantic road
between jamestown and Salamanca,
found party of three all bound for
Cleveland, but cne of them having q
ticket over q different road. He ex-
planned matters, but as the three want
ed to travel together, they objected to
be separated. The conductor told them
that it could not be helped, and sooth.

The U. S. Soldiers under Gen.
Terry, got whipped by the Indians
under Joseph, at Big Hole, on the 9th
inst. Gen. Terry was wounded, and
large number killed. The proper
way to get at this question is to fur
ther reduce the regular army, or,
which amounts to the same thing, cut
off the appropriation, then send peace
commissioners to the Indians, beseech.
ing them to come in to the agencies to
receive further supplies before contin.

peace commissioners might be killed,
but that is the fortune of war, and no
man Of peace should allow himself to
meddle with a warlike people.
The loss entailed upon the. com.
munity by the late strike, as the esti-
mates and figures are gathered, prove
TO be immense. There were forty.six
railroads whose traffic was more or less
interrupted, and every community
through which they ran suffered more
than the roads. The most careful esti-
mates place the loss, direct and indi-
rect at not less than $60,000,000. It
is costly experience, and all classes
must share in the burden Of making it
good-the railroads less than any 9th.

Gov. Hartranft and Mayor Stoke
ly, Of Philadelphia, says the Beaver
Radical, are two men who have won
golden opinions everywhere for their
condnct during the recent riots. The
mayors Of Allegheny, Harrisburg and
Scranton also distinguished themselves
for the prudence and courage with
which they discharged their duties.
The contrast between the conduct of
the mayors Of the cities named and
that of the mayor Of Pittsburgh, the
second city in the Commonwealth, on.
ly places Pittsburgh's mayor in more
unfavorable light. Pittsburgh will
never recover from the shame Of cleo
ting such a man for Chief Magistrate.
Hereafter cities should be careful to
select their chief magistrates from
among their best citizens.
