A TIE DEUM.

An anecdote of the Emperor Charles
vi. is worth preserving: During the
reign OF that monarch an Italian officer of
distinction was despatched to Vienna with
news of battle, in which the imperial
troops had been completely routed. On
his arrival at the frontier, he was informed
by the Governor of the first fortified town
he entered that, although the object OF his
Journey was to announces defeat, he must
on the contrary proclaim q victory where
ever he went. and be preceded by 20 or
80 courers, each blowing horn. Obliged
to conform to this ridiculous custom, the
officer continued his route, and, on reach
ing Vienna. was instantly admitted to the
imperial presence; upon which he ex-
claimed in loud voice: Victory sire,
victory adding in lower tone for the
especial benefit of the Emperor, Sire,
your Majesty has lost the day. On re-
ceipt OF this intelligence. Charles vi.
made sign to the envoy to accompany
him into the next room, and there de-
manded the particulars of the disaster.
What became of my cavalryr he asked.
'Cut to pieces, sre,' replied the officer.
And the infantry 'Bolted as fast as their
legs could carry them, SIRE The Empe-
ror listened with perfect gravity to this
catalogue of misfortunes. then. re-enter.
ing the halls of audience, addressed the
assembled courtiers as follows: Let TIE
Deum be sung in honor OF the triumph of
our arms. ."-Beigrauia. ~

PRISONERS GOING TO SIBERIA.

The saddest sight in Russia to q travel
er IS the manner in which civil prisoners
are treated. 1t is common spectacle to
see 800 or 400 poor wretches on their way
to Siberia under a military escort; for
most OF them are chained together in
couples, while the women and children
VINO have elected to share their brcadwin-
| ners' lot have also TO submit to be treated
as criminals. Poorly clad and apparently
| half starved, the wonder is that any OF
the party should ever survive the dreadful
Journey. Russian criminal condemned
to exile is sent away with very little cere I.
| mony; but when an officer OF the Army or
| other person of note has been sentenced
to Punishment for life, he is dressed in
full uniform, and led to q scaffold in some
public place. In the presence of the
| crowd he Is made to kneel, while bis
epaulets and decorations are torn from
his coat, and his sword broken
over his head He is declared
legally dead; bis estates are confiscated.
and his wife can consider herself q widow
If she so chooses. From the scaffold be

Mr.. Arnold. in his book entitled Through

prisoners embarked on board a steamer
on the River Volgs. They were positive
Gagged amidships, so that every part of
the interior could be seen. just as in the

back OF the cage there was a lair
common to all, without distinction of sex
or age. And when all were secured, in-
cluding the guiitless women and children,
fights occurred for the places least expos. d

must surely fade away ben eath that put

strong for even autocratic mon archs to d.-

1ne Missouri Greenbacker Platform.
Inc trst thing In the Sedalia Greep~
packer platform that arrests attention is its
nefce intolerance. There were only thirty.
.nree OF the one hundred and fifteen eoun-
.l'es OF the state even partially represented
~ the convention; but the delegates from
.hese thlrty-three counties assumed 10
nave absolutely mastered the difficult
problems OF finance, labor, public education
and taxation, about which the ablest
statesmen OF the country are disnntino
and TO have formulated the whole trnih
into creed that the country is bound to
accept. Modesty is a virtue thew want
nothing to do with They do not snpoeat
request or propose. They simply demand
AS though their whole business was to
dictate, and the whole duty of all others
was to opey. Their platform consists Of
long schedule of demands covering the
whole field of dispute between all other
parties, and on these subjects they permit
no controversy. They demand that the
people shalt give up their Democracy and
hepuDhcanlsm respectively, and take the
oedalla dogmas as their future rule of
political and social action-imitating in
TINS lntolerant spirit the long haired New
England proclaimers of isms who propose
to reform the world through a committee
On resolutions.
Some of the Greenbackers' demands are
violent and ultra to absurdity. They EN-.
brace the issue of absolute MONEY!" the
payment OF the national debt, and state.
county, city, town and individual debts in
this money; loans by the United States
10 states, counties, cities and individuals at
TWO per cent. per annum; the abolition OF
corporate privileges; the abolition of taxes
on mortgages; abolition OF the sale of land
Tor non-payment Of taxes: the eight-hour
law; the establishment of agricultural
mechanical and commercial schools sup
ported by taxation; opposition to Chinese
immigration: reduction of the federal
army to 10000 men. This is not exactly
the creed OF Communism, but is the next
thing to it. If it could be adopted. Com
munIsm would follow next, as logical anc
inevitable sequence, and We should have
the experiment of reorganization of socie
ty with the savage and sapguinary results
that attended the experiment 10 Paris il
1871. There are few very commendabl.
things IN the platform, such as the demand
tor the improvement of Western rivers
!, opposition to strikes and a resort 10 arbi
tration for the settlement of disputes be
tween employers and employees; measure
tor the protection of laborers engaged il
mining and manufacturing vocations; AM
the reservation OF the public lands 70
homestead settlers. But these REASONABLE
propositions are SO overwhelmed by til
absurdities that constitute the leading fea
lures OF the creed as to leave REASONABLE
men no alternative but to oppose tn
whole. The platform is political curios

ties of Indians are still occasionally
seen in several places, but it is evil
dent the bands are broken up and
hiding from the troops. Some have
surrendered at Malhuer reservation,
and others are reported anxious to do
so. General Howard is supposed to
have gone to Boise City. The whole
command is much worn with long

very oppressive. 1t is not known
that any hostiles have yet crossed
