Although the Russian army had consid-
cradle Losses during the war Of 1877 8, it il
great error to assume or believe that it
has been materially weakened. By COM
mand of the Gar, this vast military force
has bern reconstructed. One novelty, boz
rowed from the system Of Germany and
Austria, is nov being Introduced, that is,
that each regiment Of infantry shall consist
of four in-tead Of three battaliops, with .
fith depot battalion, the number and cost
OF officers being thus materially reduced
At this moment, Russia has . regular
standing army Including Coesack., Fins,
and irregular troop-) Of 800, 900, for =
population of 100000. The Austrian
army exceeds 10000, for population of

transition state, can put 800, 900 men into the
field, out Of . population of $1,000 600.

Congress, and distributed the papers con-
taining the official intelligence Of the fact
that the long agony was over, and Kansas
was admitted. A there was no telegraph
to Lawrence at that time, the legislature
received its first intelligence of this impor-
tant fact from the Conses ratir>, and officially
acknowledged the enterprise Of the Young
journal BY giving its publisher q unani-
nous vote of thanks. The Coasevrtire was
published by Mr.. Anthony for about two
years, after which it changed hands several
times, until. under.t the proprietorship of
Messrs. Wilder 4 Sleeper, its name was,
changed, a. already stated, to that of The
TINES. These gentlemen continued the
publication of the paper until the first OF
July, 1870, when they sold out to the
Time. Printing Company, and this contin-
ued to be the style of the firm till the 5th
Of May, 1871, when the entire property
was purchased BY d. r. Anthony. On the
18th of November Of the same year, Mr.
Anthony purchased the Bulletin and merg-
ed it into THE TINES on the 1st of Janu-
arg, 1876, he purchased the COnrme,eiol-.,he
onl. other morning paper in the city
and consolidated that, also, with THE
TINES, thus joining in one the four oil lest
and most widely circulated papers in the
State. " n7- .r..s -rb
Since THE TINES came under its present
proprietorship. its business has been grow
ing steadily, its circulation has been con-
stantly increasing, and its course has been
marked BY degree Of prosperity rarely OBJ
tained BY Western journals. 1t now stands

invested in il, as any other business in the

Those kind hearted and generous citizens
of Bozemal, who invariably take out their
teams to bring the school children to then
homes whenever it storms, are entitled to the
thanks of the entire community. Nothing
served so much to relieve the monotony of
the lreary days Of last winter as the sight of
wagons, as they passed our Office, loaded to
the guards with merry, laughing children of
all sizes and ages. They resembled NAM
moth bouquets in mid-winter.
An attempt on the part OF Miss Ellen Banks
last week to leave Bozeman without paying a
little printing bill, cost her and her travelling
companion four days delay on their Yellow
stone trip, and an expense of over $50, with
the additional modification of having to pay
for the printing just the same. $50 and oyer
is a pretty large sun to have to pay for 1000
twelfth-sheet bills.
