much to blame that he killed her first

The British Army.

A London newspaper of March ]
says: According to the Army esti-
mates just submitted to Parliament,
the strength of the Regular Army is
practically the same as it was last
year. The home army is reduced,
while that of the Colonies is increas-
ed. and the number OF British troops,
in Indian remains as it was, namely,
at $4,000 men. Together. for the
home and Colonial forces, Mr.. Hardy
asks for 135,452 men. against 133,720
last year; but the slight increase is
more than absorbed by unusual de-
mands of our Colonies this year. In
stead Of 24,700 men which represented
the Colonial army last year, 30,33S
are now called for. leaving us at
home with something like 100000
men. We cannot, however, calculate
upon this number as good men and
true, for deducting re cruits. time-ex-
pired men, and non-fighting soldiers
there would probably remain not
more than 10000 fit and ready to be
drawn up in line of battle. or our
colonial troops. the Mediterranean
stations monopolize nearly half be-
tween them. The garrison at Glib
raltar is represented by 1901, and
that of Malta, which has recently
been considerably augmented, is
shown to be 1904. In China, at Hong
Kong, there are 1 ,2O9 British soldiers;
at Ceylon l,234, and in the Straits
Settlements 1,022. On the West
Coast of Africa there is one regiment
of " ,st Indians distributed between
Sierra Leone and the Gold Coast, the
former colony having a garrison Of
426, while the Gold Coast and Lagos
must be content with 196. In South
Africa there is comparatively large
force OF British soldiers just now, by
reason of the Kafir war; indeed, the
garrison is just double its ordinary
strength. or, in other words, amounts
to 6,243 men. The Island of st. He-
lena is held by 118 artillerymen. and
that OF Mauritius by force of 5G2 all
told. In Bermuda there are alag
British troops; in Halifax, 1881; and
throughout the West Indies about 2,
600 more. Finally comes the Colony
OF Fiji, which is represented by the
British army in the person Of one
Royal Engineer. and man in the
Army Hospital Corps, making total
OF two. Altogether, we are informed,
the home, colonial. and Indian armies
arc made up Of 32 regiments Of cav
a.try, $50 batteries OF artillery, AZ
companies OF engineers, 151 battal-
ions of infantry, and the Army Hos
pital and Army Service Corps

Boys Using Tobacco.

1t tends to the softening OF the
bones, and it greatly Injuries the
brain. the spinal marrow. and the
whole nervous fluid. A boy who in
any way uses large quantities Of to-
bacco Is never known to make a man
Of much energy, and generally lacks
muscular and physical, as well as
mental power. We would warn boys,
who want to be anything in the world.
to shun tobacco as most baneful pois-
on. A French physician has investi-
gated the effect of smoking on thirty
eight boys, between the ages OF nine
and fifteen, who were addicted to the
habit. Twenty-seven presented dis
tinct symptoms OF nicotine poisoning.
In twenty-five there were serious dis
orders OF the circulation, Indigestion,
dullness of intellect, and marked
appetite for strong drinks. In three,
heart affection; In eight decided de-
terioration Of the blood; in twelve,
there was frequent epstaxis; ten had
disturbed sleep. and four had ulcera-
tion of the mucous membrane OF the
mouth. 1t is easy. then, to see how
the ranks OF dissolute and enfeebled
men are recruited. naf lf

Russian agents, representing st.
Petersburg firms. have recently en-
gagged experienced oil men in Penn
sylvania to go to Russia and develop
the oil wells on the western shore
OF the Caspian Sea. They take with
them the necessary machinery for
drilling and pumping. Russia having
decided to develop their own OIL In

The London Spectator, in referring
to the influence OF war correspon-
dents, say, that for ten years the posi-
tion of England has been affected by
the letters OF the American CORES
pondent Of the London Times during
the civil war letters written by man
whose good intentions were never
suspected, but who sympathized so
far with the South, or with English
sympathy with the South. that he
could not see which way the struggle
would go. or what its inner meanings
were. The Times went Southern, and
with it the whole upper and middle
class. 3.

Confidence and Credit.
These lines appeared in print in the 'Hard Times"
of 1S5s.l

The day was dark, the markets dull,
The Change was thin, gazett's were full,
And half the town was breaking;
The cOuntersign of Cash was Stop"
Bankers and bankrupts shut up shop,
And honest hearts were aching.
When near the Change, my fancy spied,
A faded form, with hasty stride,
Beneath griefs burden STOPPING;
Her name was Credit, and she said,
Her father, Trade, was lately dead
Her mother, Commerce dropping.
The smile she was wont TO wear,
Was withered by the hand of Care
Her eyes had lost their luster
Her character was gone, she said,
For basely she had been betrayed,
And nobody would trust her;
That honest Industry had tried
To gain fair Credit fof his bride,
And found the lady willing;
But ah a fortune-hunter came,
And Speculation was his name,
A rake without shilling.
The villain was on mischief bent,
He gained both dad and mans consent,
And then poor Credit smarted-
He fiiched her fortune and her fame,
He fixed a blot upon her name,
And left her broken-hearted.
While thus poor Credit seemed to sigh,
Her cousin Confidence came by,
(Me:hinks he must be clever)
For when he whispered I'm her ear
She checked one sigh, she dried tear
And smiled as sweet as ever.

Re-Openlng a Thoroughfara.

In order to guard against results utterly
subversive of health, it is absolutely es-
sentlal that the grand thoroughfare or av-
enue OF the system, the bowels, should be
re-opened as speedily as posi-
bic when they become INSTRUCTED. IF they
are not, the bile is misdirected into the
blood; the liver becomes torpid; viscid
bilious matter gets into the stomach, and
produces indigestion; headaches ensue,
and other symptoms are produced, which
prolongation of the exciting cause only
tends to aggregate. The aperient proper
ties OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters consti-
tute most useful agent in overcoming
construction Of the bowels, and promoting
regular habit of body. 1t is infinitely
superior to the drastic cathartics frequent
~ used for the purpose, since it does not,
like them, act violently, but produces
natural, painless, effect, which does not
impair the tone Of the evacuatory organs,
which it invigorates instead Of weaken
ing The stomach and liver, also, indeed
the entire system, is strengthened and reg
ulated by it.

odd Fellows, of which the deceased
was an honored member, were deliv-
cred at the grave. Deceased, at the
time OF his death, was District Depu-
ty Grand Master.
4. W. Tompkins always retained
the good name he acquired on settling
IN our midst, and the fact of his COM
hitting suicide when in trouble is con.
vlncing that he was an honorable man
"a man that loved his good reputa-
ton dearer than life. None can i'm
aglne the extent Of the heavy weight
that was on his mind, and the gloomy
future he considered the Inevitable re-
suit should he live. Unwilling to pass
through the ordeal, he sought relief in
death.
The people Boise Of county, with one
accord, pronounce their firm belief in
the honesty of deceased, and many
stories are in circulation on our streets
in relation to the Treasury. But peo-
pie should accept none of them as
truths until the facts are learned
There may be something found out to
show where the moncy-from $1,000
to $l2, 000-went to, but until then it is
better to pay no attention to rumors.
There is one thing certain, and that is
that Mr.. Tompkins did not spend the
money that is missing

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
TERRITORY OF IDAHO.

OF lOAhO.
The President has set apart Thursday.
the twenty-cighth day of November, in
slant, as day OF thanksgiving and praise
to God for the abundant and varied bless
ings that have crowned the year. Recog-
nizing the sublime fitness of this act of
national conservation, it is recommended
to the good people Of Idaho that they sus-
pend their accustomed employments, and
devote the day to solemn and grateful re-
ligious service; TO the practice of charity
To- the forgiveness of injuries; Ia the rs
sembling of families; To the recognition
of social ties; 10 the enjoyment OF those
temporal and spiritual blessings which Di-
vine bencficencc has so bountifully given.
Peace, prosperity and returning health
bless the land. The hand of savage war
has been stayed, and the people rest Sc
curely. The pestilence that swept across
the Southern horson, scattering tirebrands,
arrows and death, has spread its sable
wing and departed. The fruits of an aus
pjciOus season have been gathered in our
valleys, and the hidden treasures of our
mountains wrought out by the hand of
industry.
In the perfected union of these States ;
in the solidity of our free government; in
the preservation of human rights and lib
erty in the progress of education and en-
nobling ideas; in the triumph of scientific
research and discovery; in the recognition
of the great truth that Righteousness ex-
alth nation we may find reason for graf
itude for the past. and of hope for the flu
ture.
- In testimony whereof, | have
{ hereunto set my name, and
