At San Jose, Cal, December

accomplished the herculean feat
of walking 100 miles, with thir-
ty minutes rest each twenty
four hours. At the close he was
completely prostrated. His low
er limbs were terribly swollen
and stiff, and his head panied
him greatly. He is q young
man, about twenty-four years
old, and this is his first attempt
to perform so great feat of en-

An interesting account OF the
German army has recently been
published by French officer, who
was for many years military attache
at the Court of Berlin. The total
number of trained soldiers Germany
could dispose Of in time of war, in
Guiding the troops of the landsturm,
is estimated by the writer at 5000,
900 to $500, 900 men, of whom L.
10000 belong to the regular army
and landwehr. Owing to the i'm
provements' which have been made
in the details OF the mobilization
scheme since the war of 1901, the
writer calculates that in three weeks
the whole of the regular army could
be concentrated on the French from
tier, while in another three weeks
the four battalions and six divisions
of landwehr troops could be brought
up into line, the total strength of
the invading army being thus
raised to about 900, 900 men. Mo-
bilization of the second levy of
troops cOul4 NOT possibly be
begun until the tenth, week: but
by the thirteenth week 25O, 900 more
men could be added to the field
force. raising the strength of this
latter to 1,150, 600, leaving still 2OO,.
600 regulars at the depots. With
regard to the armament of the Ger
man troops. the author points out
that in the batteries attached to di-
visions the maximum load which q
horse has to drag has been reduced
to 319 kilogrammes, whereas with
the French field piece (model Lahi-
tolie, No. 3 each horse has q load
Of $50 kilogrammes; and finally, he
calls attention to the care which has
been taken to provide the cavalry of
the German army with serviceaDle
firearm.

The counterfeit money in circula-
tion throughout the country occa-
sions complaint from the merchants
who are losers thereby. Spurious
coin may be detected with compare
tive ease. but with paper money the
case is different. One trouble is
that genuine notes are permitted to
circulate until they become torn and
dirty, and the counterfeits enjoy the
advantage of appearing in the mar
ket in the same condition. A reme-
dy for this would be the adoption Of
the plan, long in use by the Bank
of England, Of issuing only fresh
notes. An opportunity is thus Of
fered to compare suspected note
with a good one. Since all of our
paper money is issued by the gov
ernment there is no excuse for the
neglect Of this precaution. So

The temperance cause has it's
triumphs, like every other great
reform. A man who is over 100
years of age has just signed the
pledge, and, being snatched from
a premature grave by the extinc-
ton of an evil habit, he looks
forward to a life of sobriety and
usefulness. As the old lady SAID
on hearing it,"If he hadn't vast
ed his life in riotous living he
might have been 120 years old
by this time"

One evidence OF, the necessity
for the importation of civlliza-

deficiency will, however, be very

the manners of a higher state Of
society will compel the Japan
ese to learn the English language

Cause Of Hoodlunisrn.

The following, from an ex-
change, is so truthful and SO ap
plicable to many parents in this
town, that We publish il, hoping
that some may see the errors OF
their ways:
We have no hesitation in as
serting that the criminal laxity
of parental discipline is tho
fruitful source of hoodlHn'is
The modern methods Of hrig-.sii.s.tes &
up children are only ealcuia
to corrupt and ruin them. From
early infancy they are Taught
that their own caprice is the SUI
preme law of their existence.
They are not trained to feel or
show the slightest reverence or
respect for their parents. They
are not taught to exercise the
slightest self-denial No effort
IS made to teach them that they
owe duties to any living crea-
ture. A f'slse and utterly perni-
cious spirit of independence is
fostered in them. Their natural
brutal selfishness and disregard
for the feelings of others is ac-
tually applauded as evidencing
their frankness and boldness.
They arc brought up to believe
that these odious traits are the
proper characteristics of an Amer
lean citizen, and all their lives
they learn but one home lesson
Of any consequence, and that is
to take care of themselves, no
matter who suffers. 1t is no
wonder, when parents act with
such incredible folly, that their
children should become hood
lums; in truth, it would be hard
for them to be anything better.
The child that has been raised
in selfishness; from whom all
reverence has been carefully el
minated; who does not know
what self-denial or selfsacrifce
means: who has learned that
brutality, impertlnence, gross
ness Of behavior, are manly yad
Independent and charming, must
indeed possess very uncommon
natural virtues if he turns out
to be anything but a cold-hearted
and selfish, vicious young ruff
fan, and Il ready-made candidate
for the penltentiary and the gal
lows. When American parents
relearn the old educational
scheme which their fathers and
mothers knew and practised,
there will be some prospect of
the decline of hOodlumism; but
not until then. The children
who are not trained to obedl-
ence, reverence, self-denial, self
respect and charity, cannot be
expected to reflect credit either
upon their parents or their state !;
but it is the parents who are re-
sponsible for hoodlumism, and
it is impossible for teachers and
others who are interested in the
welfare of children, to correct
this great evil, until parents
shall awaken to sense of their
moral responsibility and adopt a
better system of discipline at
home. Then the hoodlum will
cease to exist.

sumner on Grant.

ter to Gerritl Smith on the SUBJ
ject, which contained the follow
ing sentiment. Yet it is said
that Grant confidently expects

In Europe until that time, in or.

Priva'e) NAuAsr, Mass August 20. 1871.
Ny DEAR FRIEND Your note and
its enclosure reached me at this
retreat where 1 am with my friend
Longfellow. I regret much that 1
cannot see the Presidential ques-
ton as you see it. Therefore, when
you ask me to Withdraw opposition
to Grant you ask me to aid in the
defeat of the Republican party. I
have too much interest in this party
to do any such thing
But, waving the qpestion of his
success, he does not deserve the
nomination. One term is enough
for anybody, especially for one who,
being tried, is found so incapable,
SC personal, SO selfish, so vindictive,
ara SO entirely preoccupied by him
self. All who have known him best
testify to his incapacity. Don't for
get Stanton's judgment.
And I am asked to help the re-
nomination of such man. Impos-
sible! I love the Republican party
love my country too we'll to have
hand in such thing,
The more I reflect on the question
the more l am distressed for my
country and the Republican party at
the idea of Grants denomination.
We could better have lost one of his
bloody victories. His rule for the
second term would be the imperial
ism of selfishness and vindictive-
without moral sense, without
ideas, without knowledge.
I think that you will admit that
he is the lowest President, whether
i,saN .sJls'lv or morally. we have
ever had. Undoubtedly he is the
richest since Washington, although
he was very poor at the beginning
of the war.
Mr.. Stanton's judgment of him
was positive and given under cir
cumstances of singular solemnity; ;
and the same thing he said at great
length and with much detail to Mr..
Hooper some months before. He
said that he knew Grant better than
any other man or the country could
know him; that it was his duty to
study him, and he did study him
night and day, when he saw and did
not see him, then declared his utter
incapacity. And you are election
eering for this persons reelection!
Think of his vindictive quarrels
since he has been President. God
does not quarrel. What right has
the President of the United States
to quarrel and pursue supporters
with vindictive hate?
Do not charge me with personal
feelings. My life is my witness. I
am an old servant, who has always
thought of the cause and of my
country. Never have I sought any
thing for myself. 1 have simply
worked and served. I was so doing
when I felt it my duty to oppose a
mistaken policy of the President.
Never in my life did I act more sim
ply and sincerely. I could not have
done otherwise without failing in
my duty. Then came attacks, and
all that a small nature, surrounded
and prompted by small men, could
do! Such q man President for
second term. God forbid!

The blood of Custer and his heroes sown
in the great valley of the Yellowstone has
brought forth fruit that was scarcely ex-
pectad. With the details of that bloody
picture scarcely dim in our minds, the scene
changes completely, aud, where there was
an uncultivated wilderness, the tide of emf
grafton has poured in from all sections. The
Indians would scarcely know their old hunt
ing grounds. A correspondent. writing
says that the wigwams of the Indians have
given place to churches and schools and
stores and newspaper offices. At Tongue
River, whe e General Miles was encamped
in 1876 1, there is town with a population
of nearly 1000 inhabitants. The battle.
fields of the heroic Custer are farms. and
