The Army Pay bill reduces the pay and
allowances of officers to the amount OF
about one million and quarter. This is
very much as if man has a horse. and no

The Row with England.

Sir Edward Thornton, Minister Pleni-
potentiary here, representing Great
Britain, positively declines to express
any opinion concerning the new compli-
cation which has arisen between this
Government and England with respect
to the right of American fishermen in
Canadian waters. One of the attaches
of the legation, however, who probably
represents Sir Edwards views, says that
one thing may be set down as certain,
and that is that the Endorsement by the
British Foreign Office of the local
regulations enacted by the Newfound-
land authorities would never have been
given if there was any doubt that, under
the treaty of Washington, such regu-
lations could legally be made. 1t is
claimed that the very regulation most
complained of by the American fisher
men is almost copy of the law passed
by the Legislature of Massachusetts,
with reference to alewife fishing in
American waters, and which was passed
to protect the interests of the Maine and
Massachusetts, fishermen in those fish.

EdisOn's Illness.

Thomas A. Edison is seriously i'll at
his residence at Menlo Park. He will
have thousands of wishes for his re-
covery; and if he lives it ought to sug-
gest to him what his friends have long
seen, that his career will be as brief as
it is brilliant unless he condescends to
take better care of his health. During
the last ten years Edison's life has been
like military campaign, and he has
been as exposed as soldier The laws
of health are memorable, and the human
body will not be trifed with. If man
neglects to take regular meals, and eats
whatever is put before him wherever and
whenever he Can catch it; if he subjects
himself to extreme alterations of heat
and cold, End, above all, if he turns
night into day, and refuses to go to bed
till sunri6e for the frivolous reason that
he "has got an idea" he will have to pay
for his imprudence in neuralgia, brain
diseases, fevers and early death. Edi-
sons engine runs at too high pressure,
and apparently without any safety-valve.
He must go slower if he wishes to enjoy
any of the fruits of his marvellous inge-
nuity.-Ne,o York Graphic.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1878-11-08

The impression is decided at the British
Legation here that the British Foreign
Office will not give a satisfactory reply to
SecretaryEvarts' note, but willuphold the
position already taken in the matter by
Lord Salisbury. In that event, Secre-
tary Evarts will have to be even more
crisp in his correspondence, and, for
that, more threatening, too, or ignomin-
iously back down. The temper of the
administration just now is to stand by
the rights of American Subjects, even
though the outcome should be breeze
with England, which might eliminate

Farming i'm Dakota.

Speaking of farming reminds me of
the Red River country, where we lin
gered day or two to take in this north
ern land of Canaan, so full of mud and
money. The marvellous stories of this
rich valley are not exaggerations. Re-
suits show it to be the finest and most
productive wheat-growing region in all
the West, and that is saying good deal
Fargo on the Northern Pacific is the
commercial center, and promises to be-
come city in day An hour with
Dalrymple, the great Goliah of Changers,
will make your eyes bulge and your
American heart swell with pride The
figures are appalling; enough to make a
small listed farmer sick. Here they are
in brief: He cultivated this year 1900
acres, and harvested over 100000 bush
els of grain, chiefly wheat, for which he
realized, net, "a cents bushel marketed
in Buffalo. His average yield of wheat
was % bushels to the acre; oats, 60
bushels. To harvest this crop required
the services of 400 or more men, as
many horses, so reapers and binders,
and ID steam threshing machines. His
shipments during the harvesting season
were rs many cars daily as one engine
could draw. He chartered train each
and every day. To provide for and
control such an army, to keep the ma
chinery in regular motion, to provide
for breakages and prevent delays, to at
tend to shipment and pay for freight
and labor, must call for generalship and
executive ability of the highest order
And yet Mr.. Dalrymple is plain and
modest man, but close calculator with
rare force and energy He was born in
Warren, Pa, and taught school there
abouts, studied and practiced law in
Minnesota, and then turned farmer on
the grand scale known only in Dakota.
The potatoes of this Red River valley
are the finest that ground ever grew. 1t
is strictly true that many were produced
this year weighing six pounds apiece
ten to the bushel; and not at all inferior
in quality by reason of their great size.
Dakota will be the next star in the
galaxy of States. The Territory is rot
ten with riches, and the world is finding
it out-DakOta letter to the Elmira
On. Y Advertiser.

LaWlessness i'm New Mexico.

The accounts received recently
through military and other sources of
the lawlessness prevalent in some parts
of New Mexico are fully corroborated
by the testimony of resident of that
Territory now visiting friends in Chi
cago. This gentleman resides in Lin
coin county, where society is in state
of anarchy and where bands of thiev-
ing miscreants plumber and ravish and
murder with impunity. He owns a
herd of 1000 sheep, but, having
made himself odious to the outlaws by
his appeals to the military for protec-
ton, he dare not remain there in the alb
sence of all civil government, so he
came here with the intention of staying
away until order can be restored. He
says that if his name should appear in
print as an informant regarding the con-
dition of society in that country, and
the fact of his having given such in
formation should ever become known
there, he would pay the penalty of his
indiscretion with his life within forty
hours after his return to his ranch. He
describes the Greasers as the most win
dictive race Of people on the face of the
globe. They never think of redressing
a wrong or an injustice by recourse to
law, but resort to assassination, and men
are shot down in the dark, and the civil
officers dare not bestir themselves to APP
prehend the perpetrator, lest they meet
with the same summary vengeance. He
says the accounts given by the command
ing officer at Fort Stanton of the dep
relations of the band of cut-throats
styling themselves the "Wrestlers have
not been overdrawn. This particular
band numbers nearly 100 helions, each
one of whom carries an improved rifle,
pistol, bowie-knife, and belt full of
ammunition. Within the last sixty days
100 murders have been committed, and
at least fifty women have been outraged
to the point of death. The inhabitants
OF the village of Antelope have fed in
dlsmay to the mountains, and are hiding
in caves and among the rocks. All bust
ness is suspended, and the man who
goes out upon the road takes his life in
his hand.-Chjcago Times.

Adulterated Sugar.

A well-known New York chemist as
sured World reporter the other day
that it could not be long at this rate
when people who use much sugar will
be supplied with a tin lining to their
stomachs. He exhibited to the reporter
several thin sheets of tin which he had
extracted from sugar. He said some of
the adulterators bought tin by the ton.
1t is cut with muriatic acid, and used in
both sugars and sirups. He also exhib-
tied samples of glucose, of which % to
30 per cent. is used in sugars and rs per
cent. in sirups. Poor starch and -four
are also used. These adulterated sugars
produce skin diseases.

Natural History.
This is a dog.

This is dog.
Do you see the dog?
He looks rs natural as life.
The dog is called, by some, mans
most faithful servant. One or two in
stances have been known where dog
frightened away thief or bit an agent.
They have also been known to bark at
the moon and thus prevent it falling
and dashing the earth to pieces. If it
wasn't for dogs we shouldn't know what
to do with our old oyster cans. You
can now ask any questions you desire.
"How large is dog?"
"Well, that depends. If he's run
ming away from you he looks about the
size of a gallon jug, but if he's coming
at you he looks as large as yearling
calf"
"Do dogs guard the house?"
yes; particularly the kitchen door.
Nothing hurts dogs feelings so much
as to have his master think he's waiting
for bones, instead of being there on
guard"
"Can dog take hint?"
Yes. AS soon as one sees a farmer
coming across the fields with gun he
knows that killing sheep is over for that
morning, and away he goes
care dogs very strong?"
You'd think they could pull saw
log to Judge by the amount of bowling
they will do between dusk and day
break, but the minute boy wants a
ride on his sled the family dog is trou-
bled with heart disease and general
weakness"
Can dogs find their way home from
long distances?
Its according to the dog. If it's one
you want to get rid of he can find his
way home from California. If it's a
good one he's apt to get lost if he goes
round the corner"
"Can dogs see in the dark"
"Some appear to, but instances are
not rare where dogs, commanded to rush
out and devour the fellow hooking
wood, have rushed under the bed by
mistake-and stayed there. That's all
about dogs" -DetrOu Free Press.

Miss Abbott mt the White House.

1t is well known that Mrs Hayes is
especially friendly to artists, and always
extends to them an invitation to call on
her while staying in Washington. In
response to her kind invitation Miss
Emma Abbott informally visited her
Sunday evening. On leaving her car
riage ut the White House Miss Abbott
met Gen. Sherman and his daughter,
and the General said, "Why, Miss Alb
bolt, is that you? What fortunate
thing it is that came this evening"" and
he calamity escorted the lady to the red
parlor President and Mrs. Hayes, Gen.
and Mrs. Hastings and Chief Justice
Waite were introduced, and later in the
evening Attorney General Devens and
Representative Mckinley called, and a
most delightful evening was enjoyed.
As Mrs. Hayes had expressed a wish for
Miss Abbott to sing some hymns, a plan
list came in about o'clock, and Miss
Abbott sang the hymn, Nearer, My
God, to Thee especially prepared for
her, with such pathos and power that it
drew tears from her listeners. The
President, anxious that his little daugh-
ter should hear Miss Abbott, had her
walked up, and the nurse came down to
the parlor with her while Miss Abbott
was singing. 1t was great surprise to
Miss Abbott to meet Chief Justice
Waite, who heard her sing nine years
ago, in Toledo, alter the eventful jour
ney on which she sold her dress to get
money to reach that city. Miss Abbott
related the incidents of that journey, her
hunger, cold, cheerlessness, her despera-
ton, and the temptation to commit sui
eide, so touchingly that it will not soon
be -IVdshin1tOn Star.
