The horse "Comanche, which is the
only survivor of the battle of the Little
Big Horn, in which Custer met his
death, has been made the subject of
general order. He was found on the
battlefield grievously wounded, two
days after the fight, and as he was the
charger of Captain Keogh of the Seven
teenth Cavalry, attempts were made to
save him. He finally completely recov-
cred, and now General Sturgis orders
that the horse shall never be hereafter
ridden, and shall do no work, but that
a special stall shall be built for his &C
commodation and that whenever the
regiment parades on an occasion of cere-
mony, "Comanche,' saddled, bridled
and draped in mourning, and led by a
mounted trooper, shall be paraded with
the regiment.

1t is said to be the opinion of Secre-
tary McCray that there will be three
candidates in the field in the next Pres
idential election, that neither will have
a majority of the electoral votes, and
that thus the election will devolve on
the House of Representatives. Such a
conclusion grows out of the opinion that
the national movement will have an in
dependent and serious character. It
is too early, however, to forecast the out
look. But it is not too early to do two
things: First, to make every effort fora
Republican majority in the next House;
and, second, to adopt adequate safeguards
against such dangers as were experienced
in the last Presidential contest.

PROSPECTIVE PRIvATEERING.

The current report that Russia is fit
ting out privateers upon large scale,
to prey upon the commerce of Great
Britain in case of hostilities, excites
great interest on the Pacific coast, for if
British commerce were swept from the
Pacific, and the Chinese seas should be-
come unsafe for vessels under English
colors,S San Francisco would probably
reap all. or nearly all, the profit of the
change. 1t is not strange, therefore, to
hear from that city of a deep interest in.
the proposed movement of the Russians
to organize feet Of so-called privateers.
Should the facts telegraphed prove to be
we'll founded, it will be evident that
this movement has gone further there
than here, or than it was believed to
have gone anywhere. Commissions for
the ship and officers are said to be al
ready there, and crew engaged and all
things in such state of readiness that
the vessel could slip away at the first
note of impending hostilities. There is,
we believe, no doubt that preliminary
steps on large scale have been actual
ly taken by the Russian authorities, and
we have no doubt that their arrange
ments are SO made that the first day of
war would see these ships so far on their
respective cruises that the United States
would be absolved from responsibility
on account of them by the fact that they
sailed while the nations were yet at
peace.

Dear Sr-I used the half ton of Soluble Pacific Gu
ano you sent me- most of it on wheat and oats sown
upon ground where raised last year with ma
in the hill; it did very finely here. 1t was sown
side by side with the StOckbrdge Special Fertilizer for
wheat and gave as heavy growth of straw and the
yield was apparently as good The stocking however,
where the Guano put was far ahead of that where
the Stockbrdge fertilizer was sown which. with its
being furnished at less cost, makes the Guano the
most profitable OF the two for the farmer. used some
upon green sward with good results; also upon
potatoes planted late in the season. which rusted and
the result all could expect, considering the I'M
favorable for potatoes. On the whole am very
fayorably inclined towards the Guano and shall wish to
use more of it year if get it. Respectfully
