shamefully. This is the friends conclusion and, on the whole, 1t is sound one.

The Boston Herald Qndependent) wants answers to these question What is your Democrat to do when he Is put into office other and better than is now being done 1? Have you better financial policy than John Sherman's? Is your idea of the civil service higher than Carl Schurz'? Can you find any soldiers left as menace at the South by the present war oficers2 Do you pretend that you can carry the mails better or more econ omically? The countryis too busy and pros porous, and too well contented with the char acter and course of the present administra- tion to go in for change just to see how it would work. There is so little in the record of the Democratic party for the past dozen years or more to inspire confidence in it's in herent superiority to the party in power that few specific abuses needing reform and a bill of particulars as to the glorious results of 8 change are likely to be called for before there is any stampede of voters into the camp of the opposition"
 All the recruits drafted into the Swiss army last year were weighed as well as measured, and 1t has been established that men who weigh less than no pounds are not fit for military service in Switzerland even though they may be of the standard height and chest measurement. Of 29 131 men who became liable to military service in Switzerland in 1879, 12, sos were found corporeally fit, 5,731 were put back for year, and 10,992 were struck of the lists as physically unfit to serve. The total strength of the federal army 1oI1 aoIN1 to bear arms from the age of twenty to thirty two was, on the 1st of January of the pres ent year, 119, 74s, while the landwehr or mi litia, in which are included all able-bodied men between the ages of thirty-two And forty-four, was 95,32s strong. As the total population of Switzerland, according to the last official estimates was ?, 759. .S54, the reg ular army consequently comprises over 3 per cent. of the whole population of the country.

An Asian IA ng's Letter TO Edwin Ar
mold.
From the Aiheu@um.l

FROM Inc AlNtufUIn.l
Mr.. Edwin Arnold, whose poem, "The
Light OF Asia" has passed through two
edjlions here and eight in America, has re-
c-iyed the following letter from the King OF
siam. together with bis Msjesly's Order Of
the White Elephant:
"GRAND PALACE, BANGDOH,
December ), 1879.
"Sir.-My father devoted much time 10
the study and defence of his religion, and
although |. being called to The throne while
Young. bad no time to become a scholar like
him. ]. too. have Interested myself in the
study Of the Sacred Books, aud take great
interes, in defending our religion and hav-
ing j, property understood. IL seems TO me
that if Europeans believe the missionary
preachins, that ours Is foolish and bad re-
Hgion. They must ais, believe that we are a
foolish and bad people. therefore feel
much gratitude 10 those who, like yourself,
teach Europeans 10 hold our religion in re-
spect. | thank YOU foAfbe copy Of your
poem, The Light Of Asia presented 10
me through my minister in London.
al am uOi sufficiently good scholar TO
Judge English poetry. but as your work Is
based upon the similar source III our own
information can read It through with very
much pleasure, aud | can say that your
poem, The Light OF Asia is tie most elO-
quent defence Of Buddhism that has yet
appeared, and is full of beautiful poetry /:
but like Book Second very much. and am
very much interested in the final sermon.
| have no doubt that our learned men
would argue with you for hours or for
years, as even | cafr>see that some OF your
ideas are not quite the same as ours. But
! think that I'D showing 'loye' to have
been the eminent characteristic Of the
Lord Buddha, and Karma. in Siomese
Ram the result Of the inevitable law OF
Dharma, the principle Of existence, you
