ROCK-A-BY, BABY.

Rock-a-by. baby: in the tree top,
When the wind blows the die will rcck;
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
Down tumbes baby, and cradle, and all.
Rock-aziJs, baby; the meadows in bloom
Laugh at the stint,esms that dance in the room,
Echo the birds with tpur own baby tune,
Coo in the sunshine and flowers of June.
Rock-a-by, baby: softly it swings,
Over thy cradle the mother-love sings;
Brooding and cooling at even or dawn,
What will Ii do when the mother is gone
Rock-a-py baby; 30 cloudless the skies,
Blue as the depths Of your OVID laughing eyes;
Sweet is the lullaby over yobT nest
That tenderly sings little baby TO rest.
Rock-a-by, baby; the blue eyes will dream
Sweetest when mammals eyes over them beam;
Never again will the world seem so fair
Sleep, little baby-no cloud in the air.
Rock-a-by baby; the blue eyes will burn
And ache with that your manhood will learn:
Swiftly the years come with sorrow and care,
With burdens the wee diTnpled shoulders must beal
!:ock-a-by, baby; there's coming day
Whose sorrows mothers lip can't kiss away;
Days when its song will be changed to a moan,
Crosses that baby must bear all alone.
Rock ABBY, baby; the meadows in bloom,
May never the frosts pail the beauty in glo
Be thy world ever bright as to-day it is seen,
Rock-a-by, baby; thy cradle is green.

The military division commanded by Lieut.
Gen. Sheridan, whose annual report to the
General of the army has just been made pub
lie, embraces the States of Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colo
RADIO and Texas, and the Territories of Mon
tana, Dakota. Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico,
and portion of Idaho and TIE Indian Terri
tory 1t will be seen by glance at the map
that these frontier States and Territories in
clude within their limits regions inhabited by
the restless bands of Indians, to keep whom
in order the army is constantly called into &C
tive service Dotted along the frontier from
British America to the Rio Grande, are
eighty-two permanent camps and posts of OBJ
servation. These are required by the exigen-
cies of Indian service. The posts are garri-
soned by four companies of artillery, averag-
ing 80 men each, eight regiments of cavalry,
averaging 765 men each, and eighteen regi-
ments of infantry, which will muster about
45O men each. This formidable array, which,
it will be seen, severely taxes the resources of
the entire military establishment gives one
man to each 100 square miles in Texas one TO
every - square miles in the Department of
Dakota, and about the same proportion il
the departments of Missouri and the Platte.
Nevertheless, there are people who wonder
what possible use can be made of 1.-THE great
army on the frontier"
Gen Sheridan uses strong language il
handling the Indian question in the report
above referred to, and plainly informs the
government through Gen. Sherman that un-
less there is a change in its policy, it must ex-
pect further trouble with the tribes from
north of the Missouri river to those in the
Indian Territory, with which it is now at
peace. He reviews the treatment of the In
dams for the past ten years, with its success
sion of broken treaties, encroachments upon
the reservations by the whites, aud insult
cheney of food at the agencies, which has
forced them to fight in the recent outbreaks
rather than starve, and is of the opinion that
all that is necessary TO make the Indians self
supporting, and to end their depredations on
our western frontier, is 10 give them kind
treatment, and keep it up. Sheridan is proud
of the watchfulness and energy of his little
army, which, he says, has more difficult work
TO perform than any other army in the world,
its companies having to do what regiments
and brigades are provided for elsewhere. Its
regiments can never be together, as the com
panies are scattered at different posts, with
from 10 to 80 times their number of savages
to look after, and if the government proposes
to continue to abuse and fight the red men,
he wants more troops. Sheridan acknowl-
edges that on the Rio Grande the Mexican
government is making greater efforts to sup
press lawlessness but if they don't succeed,
he wants Congress to let him march over
there and camp down with his troops until
depredations cease.

A Washington dispatch gives an iukling of
the way in which Secretary Sherman pro
poses, within the limits fixed 10y law, TO pro-
tect the country against the evil effects Of the
silver coinage. In the first place he will en-
force the provision which forbids the issue to
national banks after the resumption of specie
payments Of notes of lower denomination
than five dollars. In the second place he
will probably retain the ones and twos Of the
greenbacks, after Jan. l. and, since the law
compels the maximum amount Of greenbacks
to be kept out, will substitute larger notes for
those retained. The influence of the restric-
ton on the national banks will not be great,
as the ones and twos Of their issue are not in
great demand. and do not at present amount
to more than Sc, 600 600 But Of the green
backs there are about Sl9, O,OuO. Should
these 500, 800. 600 of small notes be gradually
replaced by silver dollars, there will, of
course, be great inconvenience to the public,
but the depreciation of the silver will be by
that means for the time being kept in check.
Perhaps by the time that the effect Of this
cxpedient is exhausted our representatives
will have got nearly enough in sympathy with
the wishes of their constituents to rid the
country of the silver nuisance altogether.
