The sum expended by the European
nations for ornaments and military ex-
penses are almost Incredible in their vast
ness. Mr.. Richards, member of parlia-
ment, who has made thorough investlSa-
ton of the subject, says that between 1899
and 1874, the armed forces of Europe had
been increased by 100000 of men, and
their cost had reached $4,000, 100000 a
year, and WAS increasing with appalling
rapidity. The annual public expenditure
in Europe rose from f398, 100000 in 1865
to E5S5, 100000 in 1879, or an increase of
ElS7, 100000 in the course of these IA
wears; while in Russia and Germany that
expenditure has more than doubled. Euro
pean national debts have swelled in that
period from e., 626, 900, 900 to f4,324 ,00O,-
600. Germany, which, in 1865, spent on
the army and navy fl0.000,000. in 1879
expended Ell 100000. and Russia had
increased her expenditures on the services
in the same period from t22,000,000 to
f36,000000. During the last 25 years
there have been 9 sanguinary wars, invol-
wing sacrifice of 100000 of lives and
f3 900, 100000 of money.

The treasury department has recently
issued some interesting financial tables.
One Of these Is an analysis of the public
debt from July i, 1856, to July lst. 1880,
showing in a compact form the growth of
our debt and the gradual extinguishment
of one-fourth of it in fourteen years. Up
to 1861 we had almost no public debt; but
in that year it increased to ninety millions
1t reached its highest point in 1865, when
the outstanding principal is expressed by
the enormous figures S2,S44,649.626. On
the first of this present month it was ST.
l20, 4l5,370, or deducting the cash on the
treasury, 81, 9l9,326,747. When the debt
was largest the amount for each nhabi-
tant was $78.25 and the annual interest
charge for each individual 1929. Now
the debt for each person is S37.74, and the
interest for each Sl.56. The retirement
of United States bonds under the ref1n-
ding acts. was begun as far back az 1871,
when one hundred millions of five per
cents were substituted for like amount
of six per cent bonds. Further issues
we're made from time to time until July,
1879. when the last of the skies and fives
then payable were redeemed. The whole
amount of bonds retired, for which obi
cations at a lower rate of interest were
substituted. was $1,395,347 800. and the
saving in interest effected up to tits time
is S5S, 2S9, 168.

LONDON, Eng, July 8, 1888

"My grounds" wrote genial poet of
the last generation, "should not he large;
| like to 60 to nature for range and
prospect too, and can't expect that she'll
comprise for me, even in park. her all
sufficiency." The same authors desire
to have garden wherein should be found,
lone spot for fowers-the rest all turf
and trees" is exactly realized in the
Regents Park retreat, where the two dis
tinct characteristics are kept carefully
apart.
If, in the clear daylight, it be scarcely
possible to survey. or to measure at one
view, the royal botanic society's pleasure
ground from any interior point, how utter
ly bewildering is the attempt when lines
of light allure the eye in endless conflict
ing perspectives! The cobbler Mustapha.
in the story of the Forty Thieves, could
only find his way blindfold to the house in
Bagdad, and really the best eyes in the
world would have been useless last night,
to any ordinary frequenter of those gar
dens who should have sought TO make his
daylight experience useful amid those
labyrinths of artificial fires. On the broad
walk alone could any one be certain of
his locality. Strange to say, it was on the
park like side. to the left hand, between
that same long broad, formal walk and
the pretty Gothic cottage, where the mu-
scum, council room, land secretary's offices
are located, that the most puzzing change
was made. The wild little lake amid the
rocks and sedges on the opposite side was
less altered, in character, by the weird
illuminatons. Perhaps this fantastic pool
lent itself more congenially to an eIin
effect, and was in II more perfect degree,
at home in fancy dress. The beautiful
conservatory looked like mosque of
frosted silver; the thododendron tent, soft
ly rather than brilliantly lighted, was a
Himalayan valley under canvas, the banks
of roses, centrally arranged in the large
tent. wanted only the waters of Bcnde-
meer to reflect their lovely hues; the
noble trees, imported from all corners of
earth and acclimatzed here with such skill
as to show their every natural trait of
form and foliage, bore strange fruit of
luminous ruby, emerald and sapphire tint,
lines of serpentine brilliancy coiling up
many of the larger trunks. Calm and
still was the night, warm enough for the
general dscarding of wraps and over
coats; and larger company than on any
previous occasion began to assemble as
early as nine o'clock, when daylight still
fingers in the heavens. The military
bands played alternately until past mid.
night. At ten O'Clock the sudden sound
of maroon shot into the stiffness, and
ut the signal the grounds were lit
with colored fires, bringing ont all the
peculiarities of each known tree, the
weeping ash and elm prominent among
them. At later period the grand effec
was repeated, and the strains of Coo
Save the Queen" taken up in succession
by the bands, told that the princess Mary,
duchess of Teck, and the duke of Teck,
president of the society, had come.

SENATOR MORTON OF INDIANA ON GEN.
HANcocK's ORDER No. 40.-Olivcr P.
Morton reviewing in the Senate of the
United States Gen. Hancock's famous
order No. 40, said:
Again he says: Crime and offences
committed in this district must be referred
to the consideration and judgment of the
regular civil tribunals. and those tribunals
will be supported in their lawful jurisdic-
ton" Here he adjures the military
power conferred upon him by congress.
recognizes the supremacy of the bogus
civil authorities, and declares that he will
support their tribunals in the exercise of
their lawful jurisdiction. And this he
says standing upon ground in New Orleans
yet moist with the blood of nearly two
hundred men slaughtered in the presence
and by the continuance of these civil
authorities. while the tribunals, which he
pledges himself to support, have never
brought one of the murderers to justice. =
Again says Gen. Hancock: 1.-The
right of trial by jury, the habeas corpus,
the liberty of the press, the freedom of
speech, the natural rights of persons and
the rights of property mnst be preserved"
This is u very pretty saying. but what
does he mean in this connecticut 1t
means that the loyal men. white and black,
shall have the right to be tried by rebel
juries, which is like giving the lambs the
right to be tried by the wolves. 1t means
that the rebels who have murdered Union
men shall be tried by rebel juries; and
when, ask, has one of them been brought
to justiceP 1t means that men arrested bv
military authority may be discharged
from custody upon writ of babeas corpus
issued by state military judge, which is
in direct violation of the concluding part
of the third section Of the act OF March 9,
1867, which says: "And all interference
under color of state authority with the
exercise of authority under this act shall
be null and void" read this order of
Gen. Hancock with unmingled sorrow.

fatal to his reputation than the loss of a

| An explosion occurred in the London

black vein pit Mt Risca, six miles from
Newport, Monmouth county, England.
Thursday, burying the whole 100 men the
company's books show to have descended

of whom escaped alive. This pit is $50

While the worst of the Irish famine is
over, there is still great distress in the
western counties, and Irish farm laborers

rate of one thousand day. The potato

but will not be ready to dig in tho western

| The trade returns Of New York for the
month of June and for the fiscal year
make a wonderful showing. During June
the exports of domestic produce were of a
value of $i1.925,3l5, sum larger by
several millions than was ever before re-
ported in single month. The imports.
excluding specie, were valued at S35, 497,-

alone, of 2 l-2 millions, and total trade
in merchandise alone of more than 81 10
millions For the whole fiscal year the
imports of merchandise were AL l-2 mil

neither side of the account have these
figures ever been reached before.

Those democrats who swallow all their
Boosting papers say will do we'll to read
the editorial in the Sun of Monday where
the faithful are notified of some plain
truths about New York and Connecticut.
The crop reports begin TO come in with
glorious predictions, the report being of a
general improvement this year. and a
promise of an unusual harvest. In cotton
there has been an increase since May. and
the average is higher than in any July for
for several years. Winter wheat, in the
region north of tho Ohio, is tuning out
finely; and, although there is a falling of
in the south, the general average is some
four per cent higher than last year. Spring
wheat averages the same rs in 1879. and
while the corn area has increased one per
cent, the condition of the crop is seven
per cent better than last year.

On the other hand l think it may be

absurdity of the political attitude which
compels them to recant for Hancock all

Senator Walaces election investigation
committee has resumed its sttngs in
New York and Friday !examined Johnny
Davenport on fraudulent naturalization
papers. Davenport claimed that in 1868
one man was witness for 2l63 applicants
for fraudulent papers, another for 1897,
and 10 others for 1905. He showed the
papers to the committee, and claimed that
the witnesses were regularly attached to
the court to swear In bogus citizens. He
charged Judge McCunn with conducting
the naturalization business in an irregular
manner and as kind of mock court.
Names were given of those who had been
naturaized before being in the country

on fraudulent certificates in 1878 was
given at 10000; in 1873 it was reduced to
5000. OF these only about 1900 voted,
