Army Reform.

On May 9, Congressman Banning made a speech in the House on army reform from which we quote the fol- lowing:
 The reports of the Adjutant- General of the Army show that there were in the Army on the 3lst day of August, 1877, 2,16S commissioned officers and 21, ,70S enlisted men.
 Of the enlisted men, 2,737 composed at that time the military peace estab- lishment," as defined by General Sher- man. Deducting these 2,727 non- cOmbatants from the aggregate given above, there remlined 1S,971 enlisted men, present and absent, in the cavalry, artillery, and infantry, distributed in forty regiments, as follows; ten regi ments of cavalry, 7,S73; five regiments of artillery, 2,3l3; twenty-five regi- ments of infantry, S,785-the average per regiment of the respective arms be ing, on paper, for the cavalry, 7S7ll men per regiment; for the artillery, 46215 men per regiment; for the in fautry, 35l5 men per regiment These forty regiments were divided into 420 companies and batteries, the average strength as reported being as follows: 120 companies of cav airy, 6515 men per company sixty batteries of artillery, 381S men per battery; 250 companies of infantry, 8 1-5 men per company.
 This, however, does not show the fighting strength of the regiments and companies, for the reason that further deductions of non-combatants, such as musicians, saddler's sergeants, wagon CTS, arti6cers, and so forth, must be made to arrive at that information.
 In the aggregate these non-com- batants amounted to 125S men on the 3lst day of August, 1877. Deducting these from the 1891, as given above, we have a total of enlisted men, pres ent and absent, in the Army of the United States (the cavalry, artillery and infantry of 17,713, of whom 14,- 291 were privates and 3,422 were non- commissioned officers.
 These 17,713 men were commanded by one general, one lieutenantgeneral three major-generals, six brigadier generals, forty colonels, forty lieuten- ant colonels, seventy majors, 42j cap tains, 562 lieutenants, 453 second lieu tenants-a total of 1,6O1 commissioned officers, being one commissioned officer for every II 1-16 enlisted men, or one officer to every S2I privates.
 We had a total of 5,023 commission ed and non-commissioned officers of cavalry, artillery and infantry to com mand the 14,291 privates, being one commissioned or non-cOmnissiened officer for about every 224 priYates.

Adventures Of Some COmstOck
 Boys.

Johnny and Daniel Anglum, Willie Sutherland, Johnny Madden and Eu- gene McGuire, five lads of this city, from twelve to fourteen years old, were arrested at Sacramento, last Satur. day morning, as they were about to leave for San Francisco on the steamer Wh;pple, on suspicion. They had $60 in coin between them, and explained that it came into their possession in the following manner: One day last week Daniel Anglum was going up the hill from the Mariposa mill, across the canyon from the Sierra Nevada works, and when between the two powder magazines, near the cemetery, he saw three SEQ coins in the sagebrush, and on looking about saw a hole in which he found nine more 500 coins, making $240 in all. He then met four other boys, named George Peterson, Robert Kendall, Willie Germain and Paul Neodo, and they all returned and re- commenced a search for more money, when they found $22O in S2O coins Johnny Anglum then determined to start on jamboree, and buying three small pistols in this city he gave one apiece 10 Madden, Mcclure and Suth- erland, and they and the two Anglums started for Carson. There Johnny An glum bought two more pistols, one of which he gave to his brother Dan, keeping the other himself.
 The above statement was transmitted here by the Chief of Police of Sacra- mento in a communication to Chief McCourt, who at once inquired into the matter, and found the facts to be substantially as stated. The parents of the lads were greatly pleased to hear of their whereabouts. Mcclure and Madden were sent for at once, and arrangements will probably be com pleted today to bring the other young runaways back also.
 Some of the old stagers around town think that this money was buried by some thief who is now serving out a term in some County Jail or State Prison.-Nevada Enterprise.

Live for Something .

Live for something, be not Idle,
 Look abont thee for employ; Sit not down in useless dreaming Labor Is the sweetest joy. Folded hands are never weary,
 Selfish hearts are never gay; Life for thee hath many duties
 Active be then while you may. Scatter blessings in the pathway!
 Gentle words and cheering smiles Better are than gold or silver
 With their great creating wiles. As the pleasant sunshine falleth,
 Ever on the grateful earth, So let our sympathy and kindness Gladden. well the darkened hearth. Hearts there are oppressed and weary; Drop the tears of sympathy, Whisper words of hope and comfort, Give, and thy reward shall be Joy unto thy soul returning,
 From this perfect fountain head; Freely, as thou freely givest.
 Shall the grateful light be shed.

Texas-Paclfic company having had a charter since 1871, and not having built but one hundred and eighty-four miles on the main line, and acknowl- edging that, without Governmen5 aid, the road must stop where it is, was the strongest reason why Congress should interfere to secure the speedy construc- ton of the road.

No Demand for the New Silver
 Dollar.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Ihe treasury Department will make another effort to put into circulation SIX millions and more of silver dollars which have been coined in accordance with the new law the law officer having decided that the Department has authority 10 pay the cost of the transportation of silver dollars from Mints to Sub Trcasuries The policy of trying to put out among the people the large amount on hand will be tried. Official letters received here from California say the new silver dollar is treated as a subsidiary silver coin. and that there is no demand whatever for it. The banks refuse the new dollars, except as special deposit The coinage of the new dollar has been practically stopped at the Sar Francisco and Carson City Mints, tho supply on hand being largely in exces: of the demand. The amout of bullion on hand at both Mints is very small It is regarded as significant that th' owners of the bonanza mines refuse ( sell the Government bullion excep : for gold. No purchases have therefore been made. During the month O ! May 3.500.OO0 silver dollars were coin 
 ed at the various Mints. Most of th,
 Mints will suspend work lOr abou
 thirty days, on the 1jth of the presen
 month, 10 make the annual settle imelt and repair their machinery.
