Gen. Sheridan's annual report concern
ing the military division of the Missouri,
says: To garrison this entire district
there are but 14,076 officers and men.
Nearly all of Sitting Bulls friends and
adherents have surrendered, and this nu-
cleus for mischief has been removed.
The condition Of affairs in the Depart
ment of Dakota has been favorable the
past year. The Northern Pacific will in
November open up Fort Keogh grazing
and agricultural lands to settlers in the
Department of the Platte. Little can be
done toward driving the White River Utes
to the Wintah agency, but he hopes for
peaceable solution of the vexed question
at an early date. Mining, cattle and ag-
rlcultural interests have greatly increased
IN this section. In regard to the Depart
ment OF the Missouri he advises that if
possible the consent of Mexicans be OBJ
tanned for troops to cross and catch the
small band of victoriousAp pache freebooters
who have been inadequately punished for
their murders. He recommends Congress
sional action t. keep out intruders from
the Indian Territory, which heretofore
has been accomplished by military one,
the approaching completion of the Atchi-
son Read, the Atlantic & Pacific and
Southern Pacific having great civiliziDg
effect and cheapened army service in that
section. The report closes with recon-
mendation and special mention of some
of the officers and men

WHY IRELAND WEARS THE
GREEN

In your note on the Order of st. Pat
rick in yesterdays issue of your paper
you suggest that the existing blue ribbons
should be changed for green one, on
the ground that such an alteration would
be well received by Irishmen. Will you
allow me to point out that this sugges-
tion arises from a totally unfounded,
though very common, belief that green
is the national color of Ireland? The
truth, however, is that green was never
heard of as q national or party color till
1878, when the United Irishmen adopted
it for the following reason: The ancient
flag of Ireland was golden harp on a
dark blue ground, as now depicted or
emblazoned in the Irish quarter, the
third of the Royal standard, and the Rev
olutionary leaders being anxious to unite
together all classes of Irishmen, being in
that respet t the exact converse Of the
present agt tators, and to join the Orange
men to the rest of their fellow-country.
men, adopted green as their distinguish
ing color which is of course produced by
mixing together gold and blue. At the
time, therefore, OF the institution of the
Older Of st. Patrick, in 1888, the only
and undoubted national color was dark
blue, and that would probably have been
the color of the Ribbon but that it had
already been appropriated by the Order
of the Garter, which was originally light
blue, but had been altered by the Hano-
verian monarchs to its present color to
distinguish their knights from those
whom the two Pretenders continued to
invest with the old ligbt-blue ribbon.
(Hence, by the way, the expression
'True-blue.' Under these circum-
stances it was originally proposed that the
St. Patrick RIBBON should be orange, but
as this would have savored too much of
party, it was ultimately determined that
it should be the old color of the Carter
light blue Yours, M.-London Truth

fishers and following cynical remarks
upon the gains made, in some of the
states, by the Democrats at the recent
elections: Another popularity of the
'foff year" is that of being the year when
the broken old Bourbon column always
"wheels into line" The rule is that in
the on years, or years when the national
elections take place, the survival called
the Democrat party shall be brought
down from the place up Salt river which
full fills the American politicians idea of
Hades, to receive its periodical thrashing.
The salvation ofthe country requires this.
Accordingly, for quarter of a century,
the banished old sinner has taken its
punishment with with regularity and
punctualitv. But in the "of years. it
seems the salvation of the country does
not require this. To keep the old
party in condition to receive its chastise-
ment with regularity in the on years, it
is necessary to preserve it from death by
starvation; therefore, in the off years, it
is suffered to gather little nourishment
by the acquisition of some local Offices
of no political importance. This causes
its old soul to rejoice, impells its organs
of the press to announce that this, that,
and the other locality is wheeling into
the Democrat line" and encourages it to
come down and receive its regular chas-
tisement when the next on year ballot
boxing comes round. Hence, the off
year is sometimes called 'the Democrats
year." 1t is the year when the emaciated
old body is wheeled INTO line,'' or got
up on its old legs for the purpose of being
knocked down again.

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure aomfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single, change Of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
etc. No other line can offer such advad-
tages as the Baltimore and Obio.-I's
costs. but. very little time and troubls
to learn this. and in the end may lead

TUESDAY, MARCH 1. 1881.
Two Ways of Living.

The old proverh says that every hnr-
den we have 10 carry offers two handles
the one smooth and easy to grasp, the
other rough and hard to hold.
One man goes through life taking
things by the rough handle, and he has
hard time all the way. He draws in q
tight harness and IL chafes wherever it
touches him. saas.
He carries a heavy load and he 6nds
it not worth keeping when he gets ii
home. =
He spends more strength upon the fret
and wear, of work than upon the work
itself. He Is like disorganized old mill
that makes q great noise over small
grist because IL grinds itself more than
it grinds the grain. a
Another man carries the same weight,
does the same work, and finds it easy,
because he 'akes everything by the
smooth handle. When he has sharp
tools TO work with be keeps his fingers
IF the edge. When he has brambes to
pull up he takes care not to close his
hand on the hriers. When he turns SHARP
corners and drives over rough places be
looks we'll to the wheel that 1t may moi
strike the stones. u
And so it comes to pass that one man
sighs and weeps, and another man whis
ties and sings on the same road. One
man always has something to complain
Of, and the other always to be thankful
for And yet the hnsy day brings the
same blessings and the quiet night gives
the same rest to both. One turns day te
night with murmuripg, and the Other
turns night to day with gladness. Sc
much difference does it make, not only
what you do, but how YOU do it. Sc
much more dothe success and enjoymen
Il living come from The spiri, With whIcf
