AT THE CABINET MEETING this afternoon
Secretary McCrary submitted information from
Gen. Miles, who is in command of q column Of
500 men near the northwestern border The
report stated that Sitting Bull and his Indians
were very demonstrative, and were being rein
forced by other struggling bands. Gen. Miles
feared that there might be a collision between
the y: $. troops and the Indians. The country
IN which the Indians are is Of no use at present
to the United States, being narrow uniuhab-
ited strip just below the border line. 1t was
decided that Gen. Miles should be instructed to
be very careful in his movements, and do every
thing to avoid conflict with the Indians. No
such conflict is expected The subject Of yel-
low fever was also discussed by the Cabinet,
especially as to it's interference with the mails.
Gen. Brady, Acting Postmaster General, was
directed to use all the means that his depart
ment affords to secure as uninterrupted mail
communication as possible.

The City Of London.

The author of a series of papers on
" Young London |" in The Telegraph
(London), records some of the changes
Of the half century. When he first
began to remember things there were
only two railroads in the United King
dom. It took the best part of four
days to get to Paris and the postage
of letter to that city was one and
eightpence. There was no ocean
steamers and five weeks were often
consumed in journey to New York.
There were no lucifer matches lighting
on or off the box and flint and steel,
and the tinder-box, and matches dipped
in birthstone, reigned supreme in the
kitchen; oil was still burnt in the
street-lamps of Grosvenor-square.
There were no electric telegraphs, no
post-office money orders, no steel pens
in common use-no envelopes, no
perambulators. There were no cheap
newspapers, no shilling magazines, no
postcards, no perforated stamps and
counterfoils, and no parafin candles.
There was not an hotel in England
where a lady could dine in public
room. There were only two decent
French restaurants in London. There
was no photography, no benzoline, no
chloroform, no glycerine, no collodion,
and no gun-cotton. There were no
mauve and no magenta dyes. There
were no preserved meats, soups or veg
etables. There was but little choco-
late, and no cocoa. Soda water was
shilling bottle. There were no han
som cabs, and no knifeboards to the
omnibusses. There were no refrigera-
tors. and no sewing-machines. There
were no keyless or crystai-cased
watches ; no Albert or Breguet watch
chains: no electro-gilding or silvering,
and no electrotyping. The steel fork
in ordinary use had only two prongs /;
" balanced" table knives were unknown.
There were no stays that were not in
struments of torture, and no walking
boots for ladies'. There was no Bal
briggan or Balmoral hosiery. There
were only few velscipedes, and there
were no revolvers. There was nogutta.
percha, and very few cigars.
