TIE United States and the state and
municipal corporations composing the
United States are not alone in living
far beyond their earnings and piling up
herculean debts for future generations
to pay. The prodigality of the people
Is well shown in almost every country
by the irresistible desire of the munich
pal and state governments to load the
body polite with debt for the future to
provide for 1t is sort of anticipation
communism. This getting a living
without earning it is what is bankrupt
ing kingdoms, and making each sue
ceeding generation groan louder. Just
ut present Russia is proposing to negoti-
ate 4 loan in this country. Russia has
50 far paid all the interest on her debt,
but the debt is increasing steadily and it
might be well to know just the financial
condition of Bruin before accepting
these bonds. Up to 1850 she owed
only $50, 100000 abroad; between 1850
and 1860 she borrowed 1925. 100000; be-
tween 1860 and 1870 she added $685.
100000 to the capital, and in the last
seven years an addition of no less than
1867, 100000 has been made. The total
foreign debt now amounts to $750,000,-
600, on which the interest is about S4O,-
100000. The interior debt is almost as
much more. The home and foreign
debt on which interest is all paid, COM
blned, amounted on the 1st of July,
1877, to / 1,965, 100000 rubles of rs cents
each, or 1854, 100000. Still further.
there is close upon 1,0O0 900 rubles of
paper money, or S7S0,000 in circulation.
so that the total debt is much III excess
of that of the United States. The Rus
sian 3 per cents. now sell in the London
market at about 81. What they would
be worth after 4 new loan had been ne
gotiated nobody could predict. Taxa
ton IS already heavy, and there is al
ways deficit. The government bor-
rows to make up what the taxes fail to
bring in, and it has now been impover-
ished by an expensive war. The United
States, with debt several hundred mil
lions less than Russia's debt will be
when she settles her war expenses, can
but little more than meet the interest,
and the resources of the United States
are double, if not quadruple, those OF
Russia. In the light of these figures a
Russian loan does not appear to be a
very secure place TO invest money.

INDIANS,

A Boise City dispatch of the 9TH inst,
says the number of hostiles who passed
up Snake river are variously estimated
by observers at from Is to 200. These
are probably what is left of the party
of Bannocks who raided this section of
Idaho at the beginning of the war. The
Plutes and other allies are yet in Ore
gon between Malhuer and Stearns'
mountains and along Awaypee river,
committing depredations sufficient to
engage the attention of the troops in
that direction. The band which left
the reservation ten days ago are now
supposed to be ready for hestilities. A
letter is received from Capt. Haley.
from Cold Springs overland, Aug.
2nd, which says that scouts were out to-
day and that they have just returned
and report they found the Indians in
large force on both sides of Snake river
at Bottom near Brunear. The Indians
charged the scouts for ) miles firing. at

SPEAKING Of the outrageous increase
of freights lately announced by the
Union and Central Pacific railroads, an
eastern paper very properly says:
Having failed in cheating the gov
ernment out of all its just dues, and
being required by the secretary Of the
interior to offer their gift-lands to the
public upon the terms stipulated in the
grants, the companies seek the means
Of sustaining the market prices of
stocks, which cost the original owners
nothing, by what comes neal to being
the highwayman's soiution-yOur life
on your purse. But the merchants are
not likely quietly to surrender either,
ut the command of men who are car
rying their loads of the stocks in these
companies by favor of lenders of money.
Already we hear the mutterings Of Il
storm, the bursting of which will ell
velop in common ruin men so impru-
dent us to defy whole country. A to-
tal withdrawal of all business for three
Or four months, by transferring it to
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
1T $5 pei 100 pounds, will soon teach
these men that they hold no patent
Charter authorizing them to levy black
mail upon the business between the Pa
cific and Atlantic states.
The short-sightedness exhibited in
the taking of the step is amazing. If
anything will create Il perfect howl for
an opposition road to the Pacific, we
know of nothing else so likely to do it
rs this action, by men whom the gods
seem desirous of destroying; and we
shall be surprised if before the meeting
Of congress the cry for another subsi-
died railroad has not become popular.
If such 4 demand is made, let managers
Of the Central and Union Pacific rail
roads remember that $12 per 100 pounds

IT is said that Colonel Casey, who is
managing "the finest memorial struc-
ture ever built by man"-the Washing
ton monument-ha has in his head big
idea. He thinks that when the monu-
ment IS dedicated IN 1880, it will be
well to have national jubilee of three
day continuance only, but surprising
any like occasion yet worked into the
nineteenth century annals. Let there
be military and civil displays, he says,
. mammoth reception at the White
House, presidential conventions Of the
three political parties, and a grand time
generally.

A New Use for Seals.
Chambers journal.

There exists al animal which might
be trained to render us great service.
that is the seal, which is slaughtered SO
mercilessly for the sake of its oil and
skin. Intelligent and affectionate, it
possesses all the qualities suitable for q
domestic state The director Of the
Museum at Dion had so skillfully
tanned one some years ago, that though
by nature amphibious, its primitive
habits were changed, and it rarely went
into the water, placing itself during the
winter close to its master in the warm
corner of the fireside, stretched on the
wood ashes. If pains were taken to
teach the seal, it might become to the
fisherman what the dog is to the hunter.
Nor need we despair for such result,
for the Chinese train the remora or
sucking fish to catch turtles, and the
heron and cOrmorant to capture fishes.
The coasts of England would be fit
places for the education of the seal.
The value of such help may be imag-
ined when we think Of the great scIi-
tude of the sea-sO many times larger
than the space covered by iand-where
man has no ally, and can only count
upon those who dread him. What an
interest for him in the very element it
self to have a friend and companion
who would follow him in his fishing ex-
pedftions. There are not wanting con-
elusive results which have been obtained
in individual cases; and if the same
care were extended to the race, we may
say that the seal is an ally ready pre-
pared by nature.

ANOTHER -CONGRESS

Paris advices under date of July 3Oth
say that preliminary meeting of dele
gates to the congress, for the considera-
ton of commercial treaty between
France and the United States, was held
yesterday. A draft of the treaty was
submitted, and will be discussed at a
further meeting. 1t Is proposed that
the French government shall engage to
admit all American productions on the
same terms imposed upon the produc-
of the most favored nations, and that
the United States shall make the same
arrangement regarding production of
France; that if either nation impose
domestic duty upon its own productions,
the same duty may be imposed upon
productions of the other party to the
treaties.

Yellow Fever.
UNFAVORABLE WEATHER.

\ New Orleans dispatch of the 5th
inst, says in the past twenty-four hours
twenty new cases were reported and
eleven deaths. The weather is un-
favorable to invalids, dry, wet, hot,
and cold atintervals of few minutes.
This accounts for the increase of deaths.
though the disease is on the decline.
The fears of the disease assuming an
epidemic form are allayed. The quar-
antine is rigidly maintained, and no
yellow fever is introduced from with
out. Ice sells at $40 a ton, under a
combination of dealers and manufact-
urers. headed by Jones, ofNevada.
TEXAS GUARANTEED.
A st. Louis dispatch of the 9TH says a
large portion of the railroad towns and
cities of that state are thoroughly quar-
antined against New Orleans, and that
it is the determination to keep the vel
low fever out of Texas if possible. The
International & Great Northern Railway
Company refuses to ia Ike any passen-

from New Orleans over their road.

prayer, and all the brethren were on

up the aisle with a yell, ana mounting
the pulpit gave the Bible a preparatory
whack, and proceeded to square off as
if to address the crowd The effect was
electric. People sprang to their feet,
and a dozen hands were laid upon the
wild-looking intruder. His shoes and
pantalOons were in bad repair, hair was
unkempt, and his beard unshaven, and
although ne wore a coat, there was
nothing between it and his SKIN. When
he was taken to police station he was

There are many rumors afloat as to
the tribal relations of the Indians en-
gagged in this war, and while some men
acquainted with the Indians generally
in the country are inclined to believe
that the hostile camp is mainly COM
posed of Snakes, Bannacks, and Piutes,
there is no doubt large sprinkling of
other tribes among them, and it might
be difficult matter to find any tribe
from the Central Pacific railroad, on
the south, to Snake river on the north,
members of which are not within the
enemy.
The Umatillas have claimed to be al
together friendly, but it seems that
some of them have been acting with the
hostiles for some time, but. having had
enough of war, are now back on their re-
