WHY The Army sH ,ULD NOT BE
2 g1NCREAsED.

A regiment of U. >. troops arrived at
Corinne,. last week. from the scene of
the recent riots III Pennsylvania. They
are on the way to Montana to JOIN
Howard IN pursuing Joseph. #@ftt
At Corinne. they inaugurated little
riot, just TO keep them selves in prac
toe. Braildishing knives and beer bot.
ties, they took possession Of saioons.
and unlnerclfuiIy beat the city marshal
who interfered to restore order. Il has
been urged by those who want the reg
ular army increased that they suppress
riots in Pennsylvania and other E ,stern
states by'shooting down men who are
driven to desperation, by the starvation
rates paid for their, labor, Now 1T
can be argued by those opposed to the
measure, that soldiers are more liable
to inaugurate u riot than workingmen.
and that, in either event, the masses OF
toe people must be relied upon to sup
press lawlessuess. The theory that
iuen must work ut the point of the bay
onet for less than sufficient to support
their families to enable corporations to
declare large dividends, may do for des-
potio railroad magnates Of the Tom
Scott order. but will not be advocated
by the people. Congress should not
increase the regular army above rs 900
men. That number is sufficient, it
properly Differed. to keep the Indians
in snbjec,iou, aud that is the only me-
oessity for standing army in the
United States. where half million SOL
diers can be enrolled in a week.. if the
Government equIred their services.

How Mr.. Lincoln Forgave Him.

An editor of weekly paper published in
little village in Missouri, called at the
White House, and was admitted to Mr..
Lincoln's presence. He told Mr.. Lincoln
that he was the man who first suggested his
name for the Presidency, aud pulling from
his pocket an old, defaced copy of his paper,
exhibited an item on the subject. "Do you
really think" said Mr. Lincoln, "that an
nouncement was the cause of my nomina-
tion?" "Certainly," said the editor, "the
suggestion was so opportune that it was at
once taken up by the other papers, and the
result was your nomination."
"Ah, well" said Mr.. Lincoln with a sigh,
and assuming rather gloomy countehance,
II am glad to see you and know this, but
you will have TO excuse me l am just 60
ing over to the War Department to see Mr..
Stanton" "Well," said the editor, 81 will
walk over with you" The President with
the apt good nature so characteristic of him
took up his hat and said, come along!"
When they reached the door of the Sec
retary's Office, Mr.. Lincoln turned to his
companion and said 81 shall have to see
Mr.. Stanton alone, and you must excuse
me-" and taking him by the hand he con.
tiuued Goodbye. l hope you will feel
perfectly easy about having nominated me
don't be troubled about it; forgive you."

About Raising Tomatoes.

The following is the French mode of rails
ing tomatoes, as taken from an exchange
"As soon as cluster of flowers is visible,
they top the stem down to the cluster, so
that the flowers terminate the stem. The
effect is that the sap is Immediately impelled
into the two buds next below the cluster,
which soon push strongly and produce an
other cluster of flowers each. When
these are visible the branch to which they
belong is also topped down to the level and
this is done five times successfully. By this
means the plants become stout dwarf bushes,
not above eighteen inches high. In order
to prevent their falling, sticks or strings are
stretched horizontally along the rows, so as
to keep the plants erect. In addition tC
this all laterals that have no flowers, and
after the fifth topping, all laterals whatever
are nipped off. In this way the ripe sap il
directed into the fruit which acquires 8
beauty, size and excellence nnattainable by
other means.

Two Stories.

A Massachusetts gentleman, just return
ed from over the Canadian border, tells us
these stories He was in the hotel general
accommodation room when two veterans of
the (hote) bar, laying schemes for drink,
began to tell stories to each other for his
benefit. "These are awful hard times"
said enc. "I never saw such times before
except when I was in Ohio, an then was
hard pat tot to git along. Nothin' to do
had yoke of steers but they want earnin'
nothin'. But lived right on the road the
Western emigrants went over every day.
So dug hole in that road at the foot O.
the hill, near my house, turned livin'
spring o. water into t, and made it good
mudhole. WE'LL when the emigrants came
along, every day there would be one or more
teams git stuck in the mud hole, an they
would see my steers standin' out doin' nothin'
an they would send up an git me to come
an help 'em out an alwuz charged as
much as IS lift. Well, KEEP that mud.
hole right up in good repair till l made
$4,000 out ON It, and then sold it out for
s3, 900, an moved up here" Story number
two was the other Munchausen's companion
piece for the yoke of steers. ''When was
q choppin'-I could chop some, you know
an folks used to ask me how much
could do in day. "Have you ever tried
it?" says they. "No, never says never
but once, an that want really try You
see, Just to show 'em what could do, got
up one winter mornin afore light and
ground up my axe sharp, an went into the
woods. An l chopped like sixty till about
8 o'clock in the afternoon, when l thought
it was as much as | could pile afore sun
down, an went to pilin.' Well, when
had it piled up it measured twenty
cord. An then knew somethin' was
wrong, for knew at the rate | had been
chopin it oughter be more. So went
back an begun lookin' round to see what
the trouble was. An there, right at the
fust tree cut in the mornin' was my axe
head. You see, the thing was loose an
slipped off, an had been chopin all day
with the bare helye."
