CHICAGO is the only one of the five
largest cities in the United States, the
others being New York, Philadelphia,
Brooklyn and Boston, in which the
males are in excess of the females by
the present census. In New York the
excess of females has decreased since
1870, in the other three cities it has in
creased, almost doubling in Boston, a
circumstance due doubtless to the an
nexation of suburban districts. The
total excess of females over males in the
four Eastern cities mentioned is 100, 942.
San Francisco is probably the only large
city in the country besides Chicago in
which the males are in q majority, ow-
ing perhaps to the Chinese.

SEVEN years ago Mary Bishop was
the wife of q section man keeping sta
ton on the line of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, some thirteen miles west of
Fargo, with no settler within ten miles
of their lonely home. The next year
her husband was killed by the cars, and
she was left alone upon the prairie with
a large family. She opened her home
for the accommodation of travellers, and
from her savings bought Northern Pa
cific land. To-day she owns seven hum

an acre, and from her six hundred acres
under cultivation this year has sold over

BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE.
The Commissioner of Agriculture expresses
of the production of our own sugar and tea
have been encOuragingly rewarded. The i'm
pOrtance of the results attained have attract
ed marked attention at home, and have re-
ceiv-d the special consideration of foreign
nations. The successful cultivation of our
own tea, and the manufacture of our own sugar,
would make q difference of many millions of
dollars annually in the wealth of the Nation.
The report of the Commissioner asks atten-
of an infectious and CONTAGIOUS cattle disease,
known and dreaded In Europe and Asia as
cattle plague, or pleuro- pneumonia. A mild
type of thus disease, in certain sections of our
country, is the occasion of great loss to our
farmers, and Of serious disturbance to our
trade with Great Britain, which furnishes q
market for most of our live stock and dressed
meats. The value of neat-cattle exported
from the United States for the eight months
million dollars, and nearly double the value
for the same period in 1873, an unexampled
increase of export trade. Your early atten.
ton is solicited to this important matter.

Much care and attention has been devoted
to the enlargement of educational facilities
for the Indians. The means available for this
important object have been very Inadequate.
A few additional boarding schools at Indian
ton of buildings has been begun for several
more, but an increase of the appropriations
for this interesting undertaking is greatly
needed to accommodate the large number OF
Indian children of Sabotage. The number

The Secretary of War reports that the ex-
penditures of the War Department for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1850, were $50 92A,-
773 Oh. The appropriations for this Depart
ment for the current fiscal year, amount to
SAL ,993 $50 40.
With respect to the Army, the Secretary in
vites attention to the fact that its strength is
limited by statute (Secti0n Ills, Revised Stat
utes) to not more than 1000 enlisted men, but
that provisos contained in appropriation bills
have limited expenditures to the enlistment
of but p ,0O0 1t is believed the full legal
strength is the least possible force Mt which
the present organization Can be maintained,
having in view efficiency. discipline and econ
omy. While the enlistment of this force would
add somewhat to the appropriation for pay of
the Army, the saving made In other respects
would be more than an equivalent for this
additional outlay, and the efficiency of the
Army would be largely increased.
The rapid extension of the railroad system
west of the Mississippi River, and the great
tide OF settlers which has flowed in upon new
territory, impose In the military an entire
change of policy. The maintenance of small
posts along wagon and stage routes of travel
is no longer Necessary. Permanent quarters
at points selected, of q more substantial char
acter tlan those heretofore constructed, will
be required. Under existing laws, perma-
nent Buildings can not be erected without the

1t is not at all surprising
that the democrats in congress
have shown little disposition
as yet to worry their opponents
by the introduction of resolutions
against third presidential term. By
its chosen delegates, a large section of
the republican party placed inself on
record in 1875 as opposed to any vio-
lation of the precedent established
by Washington" and il the gentle
men OF the other side wish to convict
the party of inconsistency, their
obvious course is to wait until Gener-
al Grant is renOminated, and then
bring up the past. 1t is not the poll
cy of the democracy to defeat Grant
at Chicago, because they believe
and with some reason--that he would
be the easist candidate to beat in the
campaign.
And yet some of our red hot south
ern brethren who were opposed to
giving Grant decent reception when
he came along, seem to have overlook
ed this point entirely.

Cruelty 10 n Mule.

After letting mule stand and suf-
fer in the burning sun for nearly two
hours during TIE heat Of yesterday,
a driver OF an ice wagon then gave the
dumb animal one of the most cruel
and outrageous beatings ever laid on,
exhausting himself in the effort.
Every one who witnessed the outr age
pronounced it a most cruel and inhu.
man act. The mule did moth ing to
deserve it, but the drivers ire was
reused by the unhitched animal leav-
ing the place he had first occupied
and moving short distance, as il
seeking shady spot, which, however
he did not find. Ten days on stone

KILLED IN COLD BLOOD.
Without Warning Rufus Arm

In agony he dies three hours after
Escape of the Black Murderer.

About sunset last evening, Mr..
Rufus Armstead was shot and killed
by an unknown negro, some four miles
east of Horn Lake, on Mr.. Ed. R.
Hart's farm, where he was employed
as Superintendent. He died near the
hour of 10 o'clock last night after
suffering excruciating agony.
THE FACTS OF THE KILLING
as gathered this morning are as fol-
lows: Yesterday morning a darky
hired himself out to Mr.. Ed. Hart as
laborer on the farm. He did not
know his name but told him to be
ready to set in early this morning.
The man loitered about the farm
yesterday and last evening went out to
meet Mr.. Armstead as he approached
after being absent all day. As soon
as he got close enough to be sure of
his aim he leveled shot gun and fired
load of buck shot directly into the
side Of Mr.. Armstead. Several buck.
shot penetrated the stomach of the
victim. He fell to the ground ant
was shortly afterward carried to .
house near by where he died as stated
THE MURDERER ESCAPED
during the excitement following hi
cold blooded deed. 1t is believed tha
he'made his way either toward this city
or went across to Arkansas. A libera
reward has been offered for his cap
ture. His victim was an unmarried
man, held in good esteem by his EN-
ployers, and he has relatives in tn,
vicinity, also brother in this city.
THE CAUSE OF THE TRAGEDY
is not fully known, though it is saiC
that some time ago Armstead discov
cred darky known as Red, stealing
onion buttons. He had the man ar
rested and prosecuted. The mur
derer is said to be a half brother o
Reds, and it is believed his motive il
killing Mr.. Armstead was that Of re

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 2l, 1879,
Messrs II. II. WARNER Il Co,
Rochester, N. Y.
Gents: From my own sense Of duty,
and upon the advice of friends | have
concluded TO offer you a testimonial pro-
claiming to the world that there is an
absolute cure for Brights Disease in IFS
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years Of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been q burden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffalo
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego, Hornells-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor TO obtain cure or even relief, but
all have pronounced her incurable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope Of ever
being any better. We finally heard of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested to different ply
sicians that we make trial lof it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced it a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
| We finally came to Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable to do anything for her.
We also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had a good reputation,
and made some remarkable cures, and en-
couraged us TO give it trial; so as last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
tyou, and seven weeks ago to-day, l came
to your office for that purpose. | took
home two bottles Of your KIDNE Ely AN i
| Liver CURE, and commenced giving
it to her according to directions, and by
the time she had taken one bottle, there
was marked improvement in her condi.
ton; she acquired control of her urinary
lfnctions, which she had not possessed
since ceildhood; all bloat subsided, sht
J began to gain in good, solid flesh, ant
y gained thirteen pounds in about threI
weeks. After taking three bottles of tht
remedy, she has in this short space o
seven weeks, become fully cured of wha
was regarded a hopeless case Of Bright
Disease. wish l could talk with every
, sufferer from this fearful disease, and tel
them as / can not in this letter, that
know Bright's disease of the worst typ
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and
gratefully acknowledge that my daugh
ter's life and health Is due to the use o
that remedy. Yours truly,
Mrs. M. j. CRANE,
No. 4 Edinburgh st.
Being the subject of the above testimo
} nial, desire to testify to the truth of it
statements, and express my gratitude t.
: whom it may be due for recovery from
: this terrible afliction, and to recommend
similar sufferers to make use of the samt
remedy that 1 did.
