The Army and Navy Journal says of
General Crooks report of his expedition
that it may be summed up in the ancient
formula, event, Vidi Vici," and adds:
IF the greatness ora victory is to be
measured by the difficulties to be over
come. by the skillfnl adaptation of the
means to the end, by the accomplish.
,:nent of the object intended, without
Loss except to the enemy, certainly tbi,
campaign Insignificant as it seems in the
numbers engaged, is to be classed among
the special achievements of war" This
is high praise and most richly deserved
People are often blinded by the military
glamour arising from fields ofblood. and
40 not always recognize true general
ship. After the Indian outbreak in
Minnesota in 1863, the savaees were
driven west of the Missouri by General
sibley, and with little loss of life, and
never returned to harass the settlers of
that state. Never was campaign more
fruitful and conducted at less'cost. Look
ing to results alone it was the most suc-
cessful Indian campaign on record. and
IS now regarded as a triumph of good
seneralship and wisdom.

A later dispatch from Bismarck saws:
Messrs. Allen & Barns, attorney for the

numerous dispatches from Little Missouri,

on the other Luffcey was killed and 9TH
ers captured. Two horses were killed un-
der the outlaws. It is believed here that
the outlaws were hired to kill the MARQUIS
by an opposition cattle company, and that
some startling disclosures may be looked
for, as it is said that an English noblenan
is q member of the other company and an
enemy of the marquis. A dispatch to the

Henry Ward Beecher had remarkable
ovation at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
on Monday evening 25th. There was an
almost incessant Juggling at Mr.. Beecher's
door bell all day long. Throngs of people
grouped in, snook him by the hand, were
greeted! warmly in return, and gave place
to other throngs. There were few
who passed the door who did
not look up, and not unfrequently when
Mr.. Beecher appeared at the door in bar
ring visitor out, there were salutations be-
tween the preacher and the passers by. =.
In the evening there were 700 people on
the stage and thousands in front, many Of

himself on the stage was greeted With the
Warmest enthusiasm, the audience rising
and the ladies waving their handkerchief
while the men loudly cheered. EuiOgistic
slrieks were made by Robert Collyef and
others. Resolutions of respect, esteem and
affection together with congratulation on
life so useful and honored. were adopted by
rising vote.
Rev. Mr.. Beecher then rose, and was
greeted with the warmest applause, the au-
dience rising and cheering, applauding and
waving handkerchiefs for several minute,.
When at last permitted to speak he said If
it were possible to believe one-tenth thu
had been said about him, the celebration
would be that of the birthday of fool bv

it seemed that nothing had been done. He
spoke for some time and after returning
warm thanks for the honors paid him, the
audience was requested to frise and bene-

The continued arrivals of paupers from
Ireland excites good deal of feeling at
the east. There seems to be no longer
any reason to doubt that the British au-
thorities in Ireland have begun sys-
tematic clearing out Of the warehouses
in certain parts of Ireland with the oh.
lect OF sending the paupe- inmates to this
country. An appea! has been made to
the general government to take decisive
action in the matter. The federal law
forbids the landing in the United States
of any idiotic or helpless immigrant, in
capable of laboring for his support and
likely to become a charge upon public
charity, and makes it the duty Of collec.
tors and customs to enforce its provis.
ions.

Big figures always attract attention
especially when they seem to bear a

of beer. They show, in one year, s.

to every man woman and child in the
United States-of greater value than
the tea or the coffee consumed by our

the bread we eat costs, and yet not a

other statistician spreads himself upon
these signs as follows: Eighty millions
cubic feet of beer! The Great Eastern
