by Marks & Patterson and John Lloyd, has
arrived at Benton, and Mr.. Lloyd has gone
with a four-horse team to that place for the
machine. This is one of the first steam
threshers ever brought to the Territory,
and the first in Meagher county, but will
doubtless be followed in a few years by
| many others. The farmers of the Terrific
ry are getting to more thoroughly under
stand their calling and the nature of the
soil in this country, and in consequence are
enabled to raise larger crops on the same
land than heretofore. With this increase in
the production of the country will come a
demand for increased facilities for working
and improved machinery, and with other
improvements the steam thresher will como
in. 1t runs sIeadier than the horse power,
will do nearly double the work, and the
running expenses are fully one-third light
err. The new machine will be in operation
on the Missouri valley this fall, and we
doubt not will prove a great success. The
owners are deserving of commentator for
their enterprise, and we trust that farmers
i'm other parts of the Territory will 20 and
do likewise.

has been got out. There is a we'll
defined vein of blue.goId-hearing
quartz four feet in width. A trail
has recently been cut leading from
the tunnel to tide water, a distance
Of three.quarters Of mile. These
mines are located II miles from Sitka
in southeast direction, at the head
of silver Bay, on Barnotf Island. BY
water, the mines are of easy access,
and can be reached by the largest

depth of water in the bay is sufficient
to float with perfect safety the Great

the work Of the church. He passed
through every rank, and was for two
years engaged in church work in

that of any of his predecessors, and
for his ability, and fidelity to chnrch

The House committee on military
affairs have found that the staff of
army, as at present existing, is large
enough to govern the combined
armies of Russia and Germany, and
they propose to bring in a bill for
its reduction to the proper standard.
Very little, if any reduction is CON
templated in the number of enlisted
men, but the committee think that a
heavy cutting down Of the staff can
be done with benefit to the service.
In the course of their Investigations
the committee have discovered that
quite frequently paymaster is sent
to pay off from three to seven men,
and that his own salary for the time
that he is thus engaged, is nearly
equal to that Of the entire force that
he pays off. Another bad feature is
the fact that young blood is driven
out of the army because the staff is
so large thai there is but little chance
of promotion from the ranks. In
view of all this it seems important
that an immediate reduction in the
number of officers be made.

was rescued after considerable trouble"
A Berlin dispatch says the congress
as decided to admit Greece, with consultation
voice, in questions affecting Greek interests.
The powers continue to act in groups, but not
necessarily in a hostile sense. Austria and
England from one point Of view, and Turkey
from another, oppose Russia's claims Ger
many, France and Italy adopt mediatory at
titude. There can be little doubt of thorough
understanding between England and Austria,
or of the likelihood Of its continuance during
the entire deliberations"

st. Petersburg advices are to the effect
that the Russians are greatly annoyed at the
agreement of the congress that the Turks may
garrison the Balkan passes. In st. Petersburg
Schouvaloff is seriously blamed for the aban'
donment of some Of the important fruits of the
war.
A Berlin correspondent of the London
Times says Beaconsfed informed Bismarck
with extraordinary energy that on the question
of fortifying the Balkan passes and garrison
ing them with Turks England would not hest

her demands were unsatisfactory"

policy which Russia has persisted in for 100
wears.

A Russian Detective.

One of the professors of the Vladimir
gymnasium received, from student in
Moscow, a letter which fell into the
hands of the police. 1t contained this
mysterious phrase, "The reign of the
Cucumber has commenced with us"
This struck the official as suspicious.
"The reign of the Cucumber? A plot
against the state p He Immediately
sent policemen to take the professor into
custody and fetch him to st. Peters
burg. The feelings of the professor
during the journey may be readily
imagined. On his arrival in the capital
he was imprisoned for fortnight with
out seeing a soul, wondering what he
had done and what would become of
him. At last he was brought before the
great functionary, and Intercepted as
to the meaning of this mysterious
phrase. He replied that it was the Gus
tom of the students of Moscow to feed
on raw cucumbers while preparing for
their examinations, and, on inquiry, this
having turned out to be the case, he
was sent back to Vladimir to resume his
duties. This incident is related by DR..
j. F. Celestin, in his sketch of Russia
since the abolition of serfdom.
