Editor Reriew:-We see in your
valuable paper that there is no lack of
correspondence from Podunk and Slee-
Ply Eye. but they wholly ignore some
very important subjects. For instance,
they might have noticed the peculiar
way they have of keeping order in the
district schools, in our neighboring
town, where the school ma ANS relieve
the scholars Of their clothing before
logging them.
We are informed that Miss Kennedy,
of Walnut Grove, is going to teach IL
school in one of the districts in our
township. We wish her success.
Mr.. McPhee's team ran away, when
coming from the funeral last Monday,
throwing Mr.. McPhee and family out
of the wagon, but no serious damage
was done. Keep d tight line, Peter,
Dan feels his oats.
The old Flat Rock singing school still
meets for practice. We hear some
complaint about visitors not keeping

The Democratic effort to built up
tariff that shall do the most good to
our European rivals seems likely to
prove an eminent success. Under
old Democratic rule an American
citizens had protection anywhere ex-
cept in his own country, and the
partial reinstatement Of that party
to power shows that they still cling
to another cardinal Democratic prin-
eiple, the chief feature Of which is
hostility to the American manufac-
turer. The American Iron and Steel
Association has issued timely PAM
phlet made up ofextracts from Eng
.lish journals, which show that they
are highly pleased with the Wood
tariff bill. They boast rather pre-
nlaturely, for this country is not
wholly turned over ito Democracy

says that America cannot make iron

We need not be much alarmed on

before our eyes at all times the pro-

CHANGES IN THE SUN.
The Possible Cremation of our Globe
by u Comet.

A writer in the Hartford Times
gives the following facts and specu-
1ations: Our sun is still to undergo
an enormous changes developing I'M
dreamt Of catastrophes; perhaps such
as overlook a neig hboring planet
whose path lay between Mars and Ju-
piter, and whose scattered and chared
remains are speeding around the sun
in a lively and eccentric manner.
Our interchangeable astronomers have
already gathered up III fragments
from the asteroidal region, while
thousands Of minor pieces are yet to
.be counted.
Nor is this all; catastrophes may
come in another way. A few years
since were seen by two eminent OBJ
servers, two sudden flashes in the
sun, to the unaided eye invisible, but
through their telescopes they were
plainly seen and noted, and were
supposed to arise from two large cos
mic bodies striking the sun. The
magnetic surrounding Of the earth
trelnblcd, and the earth felt the
shock, and SO did all our Geographic
operators. Indeed one Of the offices
ia Norway was set on fire. Numer-
Gus auroras were seen all over the
heavens about the same time.
And this was but the touch of a
bolite or two, Suppose an unknown
comet were to send its river ofznatter
upon the sun. Then in an instant,
tits earth and all its contents would
become red-hot cinder- cremation
with vengeance! That these things
are always happening, is most GER
tain. Often we get a telegram Of light
of this kind, and are unerringly told
OF the destruction Of a sun and its
whole planetary system.
These kilograms have come to us
from all parts Of the heavens, from
the early days Of the Chinese, down
TO the recent conhagration in the
Northern crown and in Cygnus.
These have gone under the head OF

O'I4EARY's FEAT.

NllCdSO ! lmSS
How sudden are the changes Of for
tune! Five years ago no one knew
O'Leary except the servant maids on
his postal route in this city, to whom
he brough every morning GOOD or
bad tidings from absent SWANS.
Little they dreamed that O'Leary
was to be one Of the heroes Of the
world, the first question in the morn
ing and the last at night the burden
of every newsboy's yell, and the
theme OF discussion in every social
gathering. Little they thought Of
the fame those legs that went ploa-
ding along from house to house
would achieve. Little he thought
that the time would come when his
name would go flashing along the
oozy bed Of the ocean day after day,
and that the two continents would
hang upon that one word O'Leary.
There IS no one who will question
his right to his fame. He has earned
it honestly and legitimately, It is
useless to attempt TO decry his .achiev-
ment with the sneer that it is amere
question Of legs, and that the achiey-
ment Of his tenlur, tibia, tibula, tar
sus, metatarsus, phalanges, and the
muscular hbres are Of that low order
that pertain to the brqtes. The re-
n1lrkable victory Of o Lcary Will not
alone be a triumph Of legs, but OF
brain It will not alone be the re-
suit CT physical endurance, but Of
mental endurance also. 1t required
courage, patience, Will, and intellect,
"a mighty concentration Of will
power upon certain object to b
attained. Il, further, it is thrown
out that all these qualities we've exert.

all efforts are made for money, anc
without the spur Of money the world
would stand still, stagnate and rot.
It is all very well to giorify the vic

on the 18th of March. This force is
capable in the course of six months of
an expansion Of 5000 men, every leg

whom is willing tn deposit $50 rupees
for the purchase of a horse and arms.
There are, In addition, four regiments
OF Madras and seven Of Bombay cayal-
ry-say 5000 natiyes-with about the
same proportion of trained English Oh
hcers as in the Bengal cavalry. Out
OF this total cavalry force 10000 men
might be supplied as a war contingent,
without the slightest detriment to the
safety of any city or district. Such a
force would be invaluable in . war
against Russia. In training. equip

This would enable the English cavalry

England's Indian Forces.
CHARACTER OF THE FORCES SENT FROM
INDIA To EUROPE.

[Calcutta Correspondence to the London Times !
After careful consideration of vari.
Gus regiments of the native army and
its strength as a whole. am led 10 the
conclusion that Immediately on the an
nouncement of war we should be able
to dispatch from India very large ar
my corps without weakening the from
tier or any other strategic position. or
reducing the various forces of observa-
tion maintained to watcI and keep in
check our too powerful feudatories
Probably, however. the most important
auxiliary force which India could fur
nish to an English army would he a
corrs of native cavalry, supporting, as
it would. that branch of the service in
which England is numerically weakest,
but in which the native army is pre-
eminehtly strong. 1t would be very
short sighted policy in the event of
war to disregard the military advan.
tages which would accrue from the en-
ployment of the splendid auxiliary
force of cavalry this country conld
spare. Hcavslry be the eyes and ears
of an army. il would be difficult to find
In any European fighing body sharper
eyes and ears than would be supplied
by the Indian cavalry.
TUE BENGAL CAVALRY
In particular is in highly efficient
state, well armed, well mounted and
perfectly equipped, having also the
greatest power of mobilization of any
regular cavalry in the world. On the
18th of March last this force consisted
of nineteen regiments, numbering $500
men, with ninety two trained English
cavalry efficers, exclusive OF large
number of young infantry officers, who
were attached 10 this body for the
purpose of learning the cavalry drill
III case of their services ever be-
ing required in that capacity. OF
course these regimental officers would
be largely drawn upon to supply the
divisional and brigade staff. At pre-
ent there is'an average Of one trained
English officer to ninety four native
ones. which gives u much too low pro
portion Of the former who would there
fore have to be much augmt ntei for
war service.
THE PCNJAB CAVALRY
Consists of five regiments, which, on
the 18th of March. numbered 2.2Sj
natives, with twenty seven trained Eng
lish officers. These are almost equal
to the Bengal cavalry, except. perhaps.
in point of steadiness in drill. There
are two regiments of Central Indian
horse, which, on the same date, num-
bered $50 natives. with five trained
English officers. This force is, per-
haps, the best native cavalry We pos
sess. There are four regiments OF Hy-
derbad cavalry. numbering 2,2s4 na-
tives. with ten trained English officers,
giving about one officer to 222 men.
Thus in the Bengal presidency, We find
that en- the 18th of March the cavalry
numbered I4.ls7. with l3i trained
English officers-that is, an average OF
one English officer to LOG natives.
This is startling disparity. but l have
no doubt, when once the fact Is real
izei by the home authorities, addition
al officers will at once be provided. IL
must be borne in mind that these a,
iS7 cavalry are
