RUSSIA, notwithstanding all her in
ternal troubles, is still pushing her
Asiatic conquests. Some time since, q
Russian expedition, under the COM
mand of Gen. Lomakin, and numbering
about 10000 men, left the Caspian sea,
taking it's route through the Turcoman
provinces of Khiva, region Astounding
in deserts. It's object was said to be to
seize Merv, an important point in the
southern extremity of Khiva, on the
route from the Caspian to Herat in At
ghanistan. The expedition proved an
extremely unfortunate one. The adj
vaneed guard was met by body of
Turcoman cavalry, armed with Martini
Henry rifles, such as are used in the
British army, and thoroughly defeated,
with the loss of its camels and baggage.
Preparations are now making for the
advance OF a more formidable force.
The Russians disclaim any intention of
occupying the important post of Merv,
on the British G oyernmentrepresenting
that it would not be Indifferent to such
occupation. They allege their only de-
sire to be to punish certain predatory
Turcoman tribes.

Col. Burns Bulldog.

Do A bulldog that was stolen from Lord
Duherin, in Canada, year ago, turned
up lately in Terre Haute, where she
killed Texas steer in a street fight.
Col. Burns, CT Evansville, bought her
for $40, and fastened her in his stable.
The Evansville Journal of Wednesday
said: Yesterday, while the Colonel
was leading a horse worth LOGO past
the dog, she leaped toward the horse
with such tremendous force that the
collar snapped like string. She buried
her teeth in the horses flesh. Col.
Burns seized the dog by the throat with
both hands, and, hurting her back,
threw, himself upon her as she fell. She
tore his shirt into shreds. At last, with
his heavy boot-heel he planted blow
on the forehead, which stunned the
beast" The Journal of Thursday
said: Col. Burns was sitting on horse
back, at his, front gate, yesterday morn
ing, when the spotted bulldog dashed
out the side gate, having snapped the
cast7iron chain. He whipped his horse
into gallop and followed. Capt. App,
of the police, was coming down the
street in his barouche when the dog
dashed toward his horse and made a
leap at his throat The horse SHE'D to
escape the danger, overthrowing the
barouche, and hurting Capt. App
against shade tree with such force
as to dislocate his right elbow. On
Parrett street the furious dog met
lad and seized him by the col
lar Of his coat. Both rolled off
the plank walk and down the embank-
ment Col. Burns attacked the dog
with the butt of heavy whip and
knocked her senseIess. The horse ran
away during the fight and has not been
recovered. The dog was hauled home
still senseless." The Journal of Friday
said: Marshal Langolf went to the
stables to see the dog yesterday. She
lazily yawned and pretended to fawn,
while her great red chops, hanging
down, were opened and closed INDECENT
~. Langolf went to pat her head gent
ly, when she leaped at his throat. The
stout trace held her back, though her
paws caught in the MarshaPs vest and
brought him down on his knees. He
drew his revolver and put two bullets
through her head. With few strug-
giles the ferocious beast died"

FIFTY years ago there were but eight
institutions for the insane in the Unit
ed States; now the country contains
eighty asylums of. this kind. At the
commencement of organized efforts for
the treatment of the insane, it was sup
posed that from rs to 80 per cent of
cases could be cured But this was
proved to be far too high ratio. In no
instance out of 900 cases had there been
even 66 per cent of cures. Indeed, the
high percentage which was claimed was
obtained by counting each recovery of
persons who were repeatedly discharged
and repeatedly received again into the
asylums. In the case of the Scotch asy-
lums DR.. Arthur Mitchell reported on
1928 patients admitted in 1858. In
1870, asa of these died insane; 365 lived
insane; Is died sane, and 1877 lived
sane; 74.91 per cent. did not recover,
and $500 per cent. did recover. The
idea that cures could easily be effected
has led to general building of insane
asylums on the most extraordinary
scale. One in Danvers, Mass, cost
$1,80O,OOO. Still it could not accom-
modate the current increase of the in.
sane while it was being built. It is q
strange circumstance that no mention
is made in Grecian or Roman history
OF insane asylums or poor-houses, and
it is question with the moderns how
it was that such great states in ancient
times were able to get along without in
situations which, in modern times, are
very important branches of the socie-
tary organization.

DURING the ten years of work upon
the Sutro tunnel, in Nevada, the lives
OF the operators have been carefully
guarded, and but five or six deaths by
accident have taken place. During the
boring of the Hoosac tunnel 1876 men
we're killed, and the accidental deaths
in the st. Gothard tunnel have aver
aged one day, and in the Comstock
one week. The low rate of accidents
in cutting the Sutro is attributed to
the strict system under which the work
has been carried on. The contempt
which is bred of familiarity is the real
cause of most explosions.

commentator.

echo of the cry heard during the Rebellion from
the same quarter of Not another man nor an

The end will be the same. The Government OF

5. That we approve the financial policy OF the
Republican party, and refer with pride to it's
results. The Southern Democratic Rebellion
for the perpetuation of slavery and the en-
forcement of State rights forced an enormous
interest bearing debt on the people, which, in
August 1865, reached its highest point and
then amounted to $685., $40, 294. Sc, requiring
an annual interest payment of $3.50, 81, 6337 81

that this debt shall be honestly PAID, in honest
money, and to this end we are In favor Of
keeping our coin circulation at it's largest prac-
ticable volume and of maintaining our paper
currency where the Republican policy has
placed it, at par with coin, and to the furthe:
end that the dollar earned by labor shall be
worth as much as the dollar earned by capital

And now, Mr.. Chairman, while we are talk
ing about concord aud fraternity between the
different sections OF our country allow me to
say that what we want to establish is more
freedom of thought, of speech, and Of action.
AS long as men are prescribed for opinions
sake, and especially on account of political
opinions, as long as violence, outrage and

long will there be bad feeling existing between
the sections, and the way to remove it is to re-
move the cause which excites it. I sometimes
think, Mr.. Chairman, when / hear gentlemen
of the South complaining of their impover-
ished condition, that if the people of
that fair portion of this great republic would
only forget their prejudices and passions
would only encourage freedom of thought, of
speech. of action, and invite men of energy and
enterprise, and men of capital, to settle among
them and help to develop and build up the
country, the South would soon begin to pros
