Side by side with the recovery of her
prosperity, France has kept in view the
recovery of her military position. Out
eff population of 100000 about
7O4, 200 men are in the active army,
$4,000 in the reserve, $50, 900 in the
territorial army, and $685. in the
territorial reserve-making total OF
about 2, 400, COO men, all of whom have
received some amount of military train
ing. Besides these, there are about
100000 men who, though nominally
belonging to the army, and liable to
serve in certain contingencies, have re-
ceived no training. Against these
figures the Germans have to show in
the active army 4Ol, 900, in the reserve
100000, in the landwehr $50, 900, and
in the landsturm 1000, O00-making in
all 2,5ll, 900 men who have received
some amount of military training, be-
sides 3, 345, 900 men who have received
no training. In cavalry the Germans
have the advantage, the figures for the
two countries being 81 900 and 1000.
In artillery the numerical advantage
Ii with the French, the figures being,
for France 2,442 guns, and for Ger
many 2, ia guns. The immense drain
Of labor which the maintenance of this
army must impose upon France is in
addition to, not in lieu of, a drain Of
money. The army estimates now reach

The late Legislature, though it coun-
tenanced the evil of falling down, y
passed a stringent law against opium
smoking. This vice is said to prevail to
an alarming extent throughout the
State. The habit is INDUCED in by
many persons of both sexes, but particu-
larly by young men and boys. The
new law, which goes into effect on the
LIST of May, prohibits the smoking of
opium under penalty of 81 600 or two
years imprisonment. The Act makes
it unlawful for any person to resort to
any house, room, apartment or other
place, kept for any of the purposes for
hidden by its provisions, for the pur-
pose of INDUCING in the use of opium,
or any preparation containing opium,
by smoking or otherwise, and any per-
son who shall violate the provisions of
the Act shall, ON conviction thereof, be
punished as prescribed. As nearly all
the Chinese indulge in the habit of
opium smoking, vigilance on the part of
the officers will result in filming or i'm
prisoning many high-toned Celestials
and breaking up their dens, and sup
pressing the pernicious vice among
them as well as the whites, who visit
their subteranean pest houses to in
dulge in the body and mind destroying
drug.

A FAVORED BANK.

The First National Bank of New
York is favored institution. 1t is
ewend and controlled by members of
Jay Gould's broken firm and others who
were intimately connected with the
Washington Ring in the good old days
when Boss Shepherds behests were
complied with to the letter by both
Houses of Congress. Since John Sher-
man, who is said to be an owner in the
bank, became Secretary of the Treas
ury, it has been his special pet. His
favors were so freely and frequently
showered on this bank that other in
stitutions of similar character COM
planned of his partialty, and the Sen
ate called for report Of commissions
paid to bankers, brokers, firms and
syndicates for sale of Government bonds
from 1862 to the present time. The
report, which has been transmitted to
the Senate, is confused in dates; but
the New York Sun has compiled from
the statement the amount paid the First
National Bank by the Government for
the year ending February 8, 1879. 1t

that the people, who are taxed to support
those Treasury favorites, do not in

A large number Of colored people
from the South have landed at Wyan-
dotte. Kansas. within the past few
day in entirely destitute circumstances.
They are occupying the churches and
public halls of that place. Many OF
them are sick and dying from exposure.
The Mayor telegraphed to the Secre-
tary of War asking that rations for the
destitute be issued from Fort Leaven-
worth. Secretary McCrary says he
has no authority to issue such an order,
and as Congress is in session application
for relief should be made to that body.
The Wyandotte Relief Committee has
issued a circular to generous citizens OF
the United States calling for immediate
financial aid. In addition to the seven
hundred already there they say thous-
ands more in the same destitute condi-
ton are on the way. All contributions
should be sent to Northrup & Sons,
bankers.

Astonishing success.

It is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrnp to
let it's wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing consumption,
severe coughs, Group, asthma, pneumo-
MIA, and in fact all throat and lung dis
eases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will re-
lieve any case. and we consider it the
duty of all druggists TO recommend 1t
to the poor dying consumptive, at least
to try one bottle, as 10000 dozen bot,
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported. Such
a medicine as the German Syrup cannot
be too widely known. Ask your drug
gist about it. Sample bottles to try
sold at 10 cents. Regular size 70 cents.

As stated yesterday in the SILVER
STATE, R. R. Parkinson, Of the Carson
Tribune, was charged with offences
against the registry and naturalization
laws of the United States, arrested and
held under bonds to appear for trial in
the United States District Court at
Carson last Tuesday. Failing to APP
pear in person, his bonds were declared
forfeited and warrant issued for his
arrest. His son, E. J. Parkinson,
stated in the Tribune that his absence
was due to sickness, and pubhshed
what purported to be the affidavit of a
San Francisco physician, as proof OF the
assertion. G. s. Varian, United States
District Attorney, publishes a card in
the Appeal, in which he says E. j.
Parkinson has Intentionally and un-
necessarily misrepresented the facts
and deceived the public, and asserts,
under his official signature, that he is
prepared now and hereafter to prove
the charges. against r. r. Parkinson.
Meantime, Parkinson, though very i'll,
has arrived at Carson, and threatens to
make it uncomfortably warm for those
who are responsible for his arrest, and
whose character as officials is by nc
means invulnerable.

AN impromptu mock auction sale of
women was amusing and profitable, at
first, in a Racine, Wisconsin, church
fair. The young men bid literally for
the attractive girls, and it was all very
funny indeed, until an ugly but infu-
entail sister was put up. The auctioneer
was compelled to knock her down at 25
cents, and she was so angry that she put
on her things and went home.

Select Poetry.
TIRED MOTHERS.

little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee that has so much to bear /;
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thatch of tangled hair
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours SO
tight;
You do not prize this blessing overmuch,
You are almost too tired to pray tonight.
But 1t is blessedness A year ago
did not see 1t as do to-day;
We are go dull and thankless-and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away.
And now it seems surpassing strange to me,
That, while wore the badge of mother
hood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And if, some night when you sit down to rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee =
This restless, curling head from off your
breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters constantly,
If from your own the dimpled hands had
slipped,
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again I;
II the white feet into their grave had tripped,
could not blame you for your heartache
then.

made to the horse until some afterwards when.
they went for it that the pafe was given bv

that no offer TO purchase had ever been made !;
that possession having been demanded aud re
fused. that writ Of replevin was necessarily
used aud finally, that the horse was unsouud

rendered verdict for the paaiutiff Of Si0l.19
1t is said that the jury. in arriving at their
verdict subtfacted the amount due ON the
horse ($70 and INTEREST," from the value of the
horse. They certainly committed an error in so
doing, for, il the contract price is due, then
the defendant can sue for 1t, this verdict not
being able to touch that matter. 1.-THE plain

have done injustice IN paying off for her

tion in issue is the BONA fides of the chattel
