SPECIAL from BASQUE

A SPECIAL from Basque Bonita,
KY, to the Louisville Courier-Journal,
says: Thefollowing thoroughbreds, bred
by Gen. Buford, were sold at auction
last Wednesday : Goodnight, five years
old, by Enquirer, to John A. Wrinkle,
Algona, Ia, $3.50; McHenry. six years
old, by Enquirer, to D. L. Bourne, OF
La Bellevue, $3.50; Lizzie c. Harter,
two years old, same sire, to E. G.
speth, Of Louisville, s16O; McElroy,
u year old, same sire, to j. A. Grin.
stead, of Lexington, s625; Minnie Gray,
seven years old, by Enquirer, to b. G.
Thomas, of Lexington, $3.50; Getaway,
three years old, by same sire, to Milton
Young, Of Henderson, KY, $1,000.
Many other horses of the same stock
were sold, but the above are suficien,
to show the great sacrifice made by
Kentucky's great turfmen.

AMONG the idiotic schemes now
pending in the Wisconsin legislature is
one to punish school children who play
truant, by imprisonment after the
third offence. 1t Is said the bill is
likely to pass. Nothing could make
the experiment Of compulsory educa-
ton, which it is presumed the bill is
intended to supplement and enforce,
more r%epugnant to the popular judg-
ment than such a cruel and tyrannical
act as that. The enforcement Of such
alaw would arouse the just indigna-
ton OF the whole community to such a
pitch, that the whole scheme OF com.
pulsory education would be forever re-
pudiated. Children should be treated
with Kindness and leniency, even when
they do wrong, and not with the sever
ity that Russia applies to her discon
tented subjects. And yet Wisconsin
has q Humane Society.

THE New York Times says: Robert
son has distinguished himself as an
ardent friend and advocate of Blaine In
the long struggles which that gentle
man has made for the presidential
nomination. His nomination to the
New York custom house with so large
a force OF employees; will certainly give
courage to those who think that adrolt
and energetic use of federal patronage
will go far toward determining the
presidential nomination and election,
and who would like to see Blaine the
successor of Garfield.

The Aerolitc which was Recently
Purchnshed by Prof. Ward,

DIR. J. Lawrence Smith, Of Louis
vile, the great authority on aerolites,
meteors, ETC., is the author Of q cata-
logue giving the data of all known ae-
r%olites. This catalogue states that
Cohahuila was found in a town of the
same name in Mexico in 1866. Coha.
hula being an iron aerolite, was not
seen to fall. The fact is, iron aerolites
are, as a rule, not seen to fall, only two
being mentioned in the catalogue,
among a large number that were seen,
and only three having eve been seen in
their descent. Stony m~eteorites, on the
contrary, are often seen to fall. Pro-
fessor Ward, has purchased Cohahuila
from DR.. Smith. 1t weighed when
whole, 430 pounds, and was remarkable
IN account Of the fact that it was
cracked almost through and through,
so that when sawed the pieces fell apart.
1t was irregular In shape, but was
substantially n foot square. The piece
bought by the university Is a chunk cut
out Of the middle, and is a beautiful
specimen. &
The admixture of troilite and the
daubrelite are well brought out. The
chemical term of troilite is ferrous sui
phide. What makes aerolites still more
remarkable is the fact that these COM
pounds have been found on the
earth. 1t cannot be said that they do
not exist upon the earth. but as yet no
such compounds have been found. They
can however be artificially made, and
this Is the only way in which they are
treated Of in the latest French work
on the subject OF chemistry.

picked up a pine board, and remarking
to his visitors, SNOW We will have
some fun boys, y IeYelIed q full and fair
blow at the animal. The aim had
evidently been true, as the shadow was
seen 10 move on the canvas, and then
followed an awful tearing sound, and
9 pair u mules heels made themselves
distinctly visible TO the assembled
crowd. The mule continued his kick
ing process until he ad torn in shreds
the objective side of the tent selected
for his attack, and his heels reached
far enough 10 enable him to encounter
the stove. The boys adjourned for the
evening, and one of the officers quit
ting the tent with a reasonable degree
of CELEBRITY, remarked ~profanely. "Yes,
We re had a damned sight of fun"
The officer who assaulted the mule was
given other quarters that night, and on
the following day purchased a tarpau-
lin with which to repair his shattered
domieile.
The command, IN making the jour
ey to Fort Buford, encountered unusu-
ally cold and stormy weather. The
thermometer sank considerably below
zero, and the drifting snow was blown
iercely into the faces Of the mounted
infantrymen, making their progress
slow. and extremely arduous.
The Indian ponies upon which the
9Th Infantry are mounted are especially
well fitted to endure the hardships at
tending a campaign in this latitude but
they even took unkindly to the severe
weather, and showed signs Of great
fatigue after a days march through
the deep SHOWS. The men would dis
mount, and were, in reality about one
half the time on foot. This became
necessary TO maintain a reasonable de-
gree of warmth and even then the long
line of troopers, as they filed into camp
presented the general outward view OF
so many ice kings. Their buffalo coats
were white with the snow which set
tied among and chung to the hair on
the robes and the collars of the coats,
and the mems boards were usually
great masses of ice formed by ordinary
respiration.
The marching column as it moved
snake-like across the snow fields in a
storm, presented a wierd picture, which
could never be adequately described in
u letter, and would be difficult to place
upon canvas. Its great outline could
be seen at times for great distances as
it toiled slowly and almost impercepti-
bly, along, and the bowed heads of the
animals and men, as they sought to es-
cape somewhat from the effects of the
cold wind and flying snow, made up a
picture of one side of army life with
which the American community is but
slightly acquainted and of which it can
naturally have nc adequate apprecia-
ton.
The column reached Fort Buford on
Feb. Is, and upon the following day
crossed the Missouri river at that point
continuing its march toward Fort
Keogh.
There are now no troops in that por-
tion Of Montana where Sitting Bull has
been want to come and chase the buff
alo, and that savage has nothing to
prevent his return for another indefi-
mite period upon American soil.

A DURHAM correspondent of the
London Times says: Military men and

talk of going to some country where
the national honor has not been abused.

HOW THE REGULAR ARMY
CAMPAIGN.

A correspondent Of the Chicago
Times, giving an account of the hard
winter campaign of the 9Th infantry,
under Major Ilges, says:
A more anduOus task was probably
never before assumed BY troops taking
the field, and a seyerer test of soldierly
endurance was probably v made,
nor more successfully, than by the col
umn under Col. nges. The American
regular is machine-like IN bis obedi-
ence of order, but be is, witbal, a very
intelligent and sensible mortal, full OF
pluck and endurance. Were he not
such, he could not possibly endure the
rigor Of such a campaign as the one just
ended, nor breast some Of Montana's
fierce storms without freezing to death
while seated in his cavalry. saddle. 1t
requires some ingenuity and considera-
BILE pluck to cover twenty miles in a
days march when the thermometer is
ranging from 80 to 40 degrees below
zero, and a biting wind thrusting the
snow in the face, whose flakes seem to
be three-cornered, in view of the vi
cious manner in which they strike and
cut the exposed flesh, without suffering
severely from its effects. This sort
Of a task was regularly melted out to
the regulars, and they performed it un-
complainingly, and when a halt was or
dered, a little before nightfall, the
companies paired off in details, pitched
the tents, searched for a nights supply
of wood, groomed their animals, and
prepared their meals before taps SCUM
ded for the lights to go out.
1t Is practically impossible for a man
to be lazy on a campaign under such
conditions, and those who seek the
common ranks of the army, owing to
their inability to succeed by theiI
own unaided efforts in the ordinary
callings of life, are compelled to display
unwonted activity when they once dor
the uniform, by sheer force of circum
stances. No a travel with the
American regular army without admir-
ing it, and legislators who carp at 1t,
and Measure 1t by viewing a uniform
staff at the national capital, would prob
ably acquire widely different views
from those usually entertained respect
ing the service could they serve with a
column on the frontier for a brief
period.
Col Ilges's immediate command was
made up Of five companies of the 9Th
infantry, Gen Miles's old regiment,
which has seen unremittingly active
service for the past ten years. Previ-
GUS to 1876 it was stationed in New
Mexico, and for a series of years was
kept in almost constant motion against
the Apaches and other southern tribes
Of savages. 1t was brought into Mon
tana in 1876 to participate in the first
organized expedition directed against
Sitting Bull, and has ever since been
almost increasingly employed in follow
ing its restless commander. Now that
Miles has become a brigadier, the man

Immigration Figures, wake Up,

The last quarterly report of the bureau
of statistics show that 593,7O3 immi-
grants arrived in this country during
the calendar year 1880, of these 2,O97
came from Europe, IA, 225 from Canada
and other American countries, 1908 from
Asia, principally Chinese, LIPS from the
Pacific islands, ~ from Africa and 1,146
from all other countries.
The greatest number furnished bv one
country was 49,, 438 from Great Britain;
of these "a, 799 were Irish, "a, 100 English,
IA, 400 Scotch and 948 Welsh.
The British provinces followed next in
order, sending 139, 761 of their population
over the border to their Yankee neigh
bors; of this number 112,712 came
from the provinces of Quebec and On
tario, 446 came from Manitoba and the
balance from other provinces.
Germany added 1S4, 040 to our pOpula-
ton, Sweden and Norway sent 6O,777.
Austria and Hungary furnished 24,91O,
and France 1855.
The immigration of 1873 was the
greatest hitherto; that was exceeded last
year by over $4,000, and the present in
dicatiOns are that the immigration of
the current year will surpass that of the
last, great as it was.
These figures tell their own story of

the foreigners estimate of our national
prosperity. The Irish Enumeration
which in 1873 was 75,S48. fell aWay to
1891 in the year of depression and
greenback lunacy in 1877; from that it
has leaped to 84,799. The German i'm
migration of the same year, 1877, was
only 26,419 as against 49,, O4O last year.
Great numbers of these immigrants
were skilled tradesman, but very large
part of them were agriculturists who
promptly on arrival at the seabOard
turned their faces to the new lands of
the west.
OF this great influx of industry the
south received but very small frag-
ment, and Michigan received much less
than its proper share. That is due to
the fact that unlike most of the other
western states, it has no organized
means Of directing the attention of i'm
migrants to the valuable idle lands ly-
ing within her borders. An excellent
opportunity is now afforded the legisla-
ture to remedy this passing by the emf
