The strength Of the Russian army on a
peace footing has been materially in.
creased since the close of the war with
Turkey. At the present time the Gov
ernment can place in European theater
of war twenty very strong corps d'ar-
mees, comprising one Of guards, one Of
grenadiers, ten Of the line and eight Of
reserves. The increased levy Of recruits,
which is now two hundred and eighteen
thousand men annually, furnishes the
means of keeping up the reserves to a
normal peace footing. The equipment Of
the infantry with the Berdan weapon
will be completed by the close Of 1881,
while the field artillery will be provided
somewhat earlier with breech-loading
cannon of new pattern.

How Espartero Won Peace for Spain.

1 have perused many an obituary no.
tice on Marshal Espartero, but l have
seen nowhere the real story of the great
achievement of his life, the pacification
of Bergara. The Carlist army had suf.
fered great losses but could still have
held the field for some time, on the
other hand, the Liberal army, after sew
en- years. campaigning, felt truly sick
of the business. Don Carlos had gone
to France for holiday; on each side
the leaders had genuine desire for fol-
lowing example. 1t was under these
circumstances that Espartero had con-
ference with Maroto, the Carlist Gener-
al, for the purpose of negotiating truce.
They were old chums of the South
American wars, but since that time they
had exchanged only cannon balls in ad-
dition to more than one fierce procla-
nation. When they met in a lonely
farm at night, in the greatest secrecy, it
was feared by many lest quarrel, or
even perhaps a personal encounter,
might arise from the occasion. Beth
entered lower room, in which table
had been disposed with candles, paper,
pens and ink, and then were left alone.
For more than five hours they were
there closeted. What were they doing
all this timer Simply this: On seeing
Espartero, whom he knew well for the
greatest gambler that ever lived, ,Maroto
had taken out of his pocket pack OF
cards and challenged bis foe at tresillo.
Espartero had always been lucky. He
won first all the cash of his opponent,
then he won his own terms for the truce,
then, article after article, he won the
entire submission of tho Carlist army.
Maroto paid his debt, like a gentleman,
within twenty-four hours, and so ended
the first Carlist war.-London Truth.

An Incident Of Speculation.

During the recent extremely cold
weather the late afternoon frequenters
of Delmonico's Broad Street cafe have
repeatedly observed the presence and
movements of singular character in
the person of a middle aged and very
shabbily attired but gentlemanly appear
ing Englishman, apparently in feeble
health, who in an exceedingly modest
manner quietly slips into the Broad
Street door and nervously warns his
trembling half-clad limbs at the stove
behind the door. Usually after remain
ing a few moments he advances to the
gold and stock indicator, and aiter run
ming the tape through his fingers and
examining the prices current OF the day.
dons his ragged gloves and departs.
Mr.. Longhi, the manager OF this cafe, as
well as many of his customers from the
Stock Exchange, who are usually IN the
hall of the restaurant at that hour, are
acquainted with the sad story OF TINS IN
dividual, and he is often the subject OF
sincere pity and never of rldicuie or oe-
rision. A gentleman who is conversant
with some of the circumstances OF
this unfortunate individual gives
brief outline of his misfortunes, whlch
are said to be wholly attributable to
great losses sustained by him in stock
speculations. Some years ago he came
to this city from England, the possessor
of large amount of capital. After
making few heavy ventures in the gold
and stock markets his funds gradually
melted away and with them also disap-
peared his reason. He has no relatives
in this country and some OF his coun,
trymen of means, who recently learned
his condition, offered to assist him or
send him back to his relatives in Eng
land. But he is too proud to accept
charity, and so he lives as best he eau
on temporary loan of 30 cents per
week, which he was reluctantly prevail
ed upon to accept from a gentleman
who forces it upon him every Monday
morning. In conversation with chance
acquaintance recently this poor old man
with childish glee related hoT he had
enjoyed glorious dinner on Christmas
Day, when he expended Is cents. On
New Years Day he gave the landlady
of his wretched lodging house in West
Broadway 10 cents extra for the priv.
lege of lying abed all day.-New York

1t is officially reported from st. Peters,
burg that Gen. Melikof declares the plague
at an end in his Jurisdiction; the military
cordons isolating different villages have been
abolished, although the general Gordon
is still retained. The Russian papers,
however, continue to report the preva-
lence of various malignant diseases,
and there is no abatement In the
precautionary measures taken by adjacent
countries to prevent the fatal epidemic from
crossing the borders. Dr.Virchou, in lec-
ture before the Medical Society of Berlin,
pronounces the disease the real Eastern
plague, and says that the measures adopted
by the German Government to prevent its
inroads are Of too general a character.

British advices from Cape Town, under

munications had been interrupted for some
days. The bush surrounding the post was
infested with Zulus, but Col. Pearson had
two months provisions, and Lord Chelms-
ford was about to make an effort to join him
with additional troops.

1876 parishes and 81, ,80S communicates,
is the largest diocese in the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and Dakota, with 3
parishes, and 31S communicates, is the
smallest.
The clergymen of the State of New
York receive $5,3l0,000 for salary year
ly. Of this amount the Methodists pay
81, ,140, 200, the Presbyterians 1852 900,
the Episcopalians S811, 200. The aver
age clerical salary is SS4O.
Following is the brief creed of the
Central Church of Chicago (Prof.
Swing's): "We believe in the divine
character and mission of Christ; that
He is the Savior man in his ignorance
and sinfulness needs; that all accepting
and obeying this Christ as their way,
truth, and life are fully entitled to the
name and hope of the Christian"
The number of school districts in
Colorado is 372, and the number OF pu-
pills enrolled is 16,64S. The school sys-
tenn of the State is improving in every
way. The school property of the State
is valued at $474,771. There are 226
male teachers who receive salaries of
S49.9O per month. The 341 female
teachers are paid S46.9 per month.
The cost per month of educating each
pupil last year was S272. The Univer-
sity of Colorado has 81 students, and

The chief Methodist school of the
ology in the Northwest, the Garret In
stitute, of Evanston, ILL.,, will graduate
the first lady student, Miss Mary A.
Phillips, of Olney, ILL.,, and the profess
sors say that she is the first lady appli-
cant in the country for degree in
Methodist theology. When she entered
the school the professors looked with
disfavor upon her presence, but a years
reflection and acquaintance have con-
verted them. She is the daughter of a
clergyman; has learned more than the
best man in her class, and intends to do
gospel pulpit work.
The Principal of the Northern In
diana Normal School has recently made
a judicious experiment with his students.
He placed each week 90 copies of a
good daily and other papers and maga=
zines in the reading-room. At first the
students seemed Indifferent, but gradu-
ally they began to read, and in short
time they showed great interest in the

ton at the table and elsewhere changed
very much for the better. His expert
ence leads the Principal strongly to rec
ommend the use of newspap rs in gen.
eral exercises and in reading classes.
