The German army horses are now fed

part of hnseed -four. The biscuits are
made with hole in the middle of each, so
they can be strung on a string and hung
to the saddle-bow or be carried BY the
trooper around his waist. Each biscuit
weighs, when baked dry and hard, about
two ounces. Seven biscuits are broken ND

From the Bangor WHO

A correspondent tells a story aho,,
Judge Kent that is interesting. A case ii
burglary was being tried before him, Tbs
prisoners name was Cowdry. and the az; :
deDce showed that he had cut a hole
through rubber tent in which severe
persons were sleeping, large enough to ed.
init his arm and head, and had abstractad
several articles of value. His counsel tool
the ground that the prisoner, having onI1
reached into the tent, had not entered
1t. aud that en- this technicality the defend
ant should be discharged.
In his charge to the jury, Judpe Kant
with grim smile, alluded to the nlea 81
the prisoners counsel, and Instructed Them
that, If they were in doubt as to the gpiIt
OF the whole man. they might bring him
IN guilty as far as they judged the evidence
would warrant, aud the jury, after a brief
period OF consultation, brought in verdict
against Thomas Cowdry, the prisoner at
the bar, of guilty to the full letter of the
Indictment as to his right arm, bis right
shoulder and his head.
And the judge sentenced the arm. the
shoulder and the head of said Thomas
Cowdry to Imprisonment at hard labor in
state prison for the term of two wears The
prisoner might do with the remainder of
his body what he pleased.

RENO'S TRIAL.
Plea eff the Reconsideration of the
Court.

Plea eff the Accused--Adjour of the
DEADwooD, Dec. Sin the Reno court mar
tial: to-day, Major Reno delivered a lengthy
argument in his Defense in which he claims
that he did not so beyond the bounds of be-
coming conduct; that in striking Lieut.. Nichol-
son he did SO after being driven beyond the
limits of patience by repeated taunts of Mich
olson; that in looking through the
window of Gen. Sturgis' house
he was actuated by the purest motives, and
his note of apology should be a sufficient re-
pairation for an unintentlonal- offense. He
says that all witnesses agree that he was in the
possession of his mental faculaties in all oc.
casions brought into question; that if
under the influence Of liquor at all
He was regarded as good humoredlv drunk,
and his knocking money on the floor and
breaking window lights was done in frolic.
he claims that it has been his misfortune to
have obtained widespread notoriety
through the press of the country.
and that greater degree of attention is called
to his acts than those of other officers, and that
a conviction upon the charges against him
would be a sacrifice Of his commission, which
is the reward for over twenty two years of hard
and faithful labor to his country. He quotes
the eighty-third article of war, and says
the intent is to preserve the character and
honor of the army by excluding disreputnble
characters. and not to infict punishment for
youthful follies or trivial devotion from recti.
tude. The court then adjourned sine die. gig

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON. Dec Ex-senator Hoar intro
duced bill in the Senate,
to-day, to establish labor
committee. 1t provides tkat the President,
with the consent of the Senate, shall appoint
a committee of five persons to inquire and re-
port as to the extent to which machinery and
labor saving processes have entered into the
production and distribution of products in
general and consumption among the people, to
the displacement of manual labor. Also,
whether any causes are in operation to bring
about the ownership and cultivation of lands
in large tracts instead of small
farms and homesteads. Also as to the con-
dition of persons employed in agricultural,
mechanical, manufacturing and mining labor
in this country, and especially whether any
causes are at work to change for the better or
worse the condition of such persons, their
hours OF labor. the education of their children
and the proportion received by them of the
profits of the occupations in which they are
engaged. The commissioners are to hold Office
for two years, receive an annual salary of
81 600 each and be allowed expenses of travel,
have authority to employ secretary and three
clerks, and report to Congress annually through
the secretary of the interior.

YELLOW FEVER.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The commission ap-
pointed by the President to proceed to Cuba
for the purpose of collecting information in re-
lation to yellow fever, has submitted q prelim-
mary report to the national board of heal sh.
The report says the most general result is that
yellow fever prevails in every place in Cuba
from which reports were received; provided
these places are of any size or commercial i'm
portance, and contain any considerable number
of unacclimated persons, who fur
nish food for widespread poison.
In this particular the medical authorities
as we'll as intelligent residents of Cuba, have
for most the part misled the profession. Be-
fore leaving the United States most absolute
assurances were given by natives or ex-residents
of Cuba, and even in Cuba itself these assur-
ances were confidently repeated, that yellow
fever never occurred in this that or the other
place. Diligent inquiry was made for all such
places and diligent investigation invariably
proved that these assurances were
false, and that they Il, were found
ed upon comparatively slight prevalence
OF disease due in large measure to small
number of unacclimated visitors or residents
in such places, detailed reports Of these facts
are possessed in abundance, it is very certain
that prevalence of yellow fever is not equally
marked in all places, this varies greatly in diff
ferent places and in different years at some
places and this variation is at times indepen-
dent apparently Of amount of unacclimated
material. .... -. go
