The British Army.

From the New York Star.
We have from time to time been asked
by correspondents to decide disputed
figures in respect ofthe strength of the
British army. An official return, just
issued in a Blue Book, will set the ques-
ton at rest. From this it appears that
the average strength of the army in 1881
was lSS, 79S, as compared with lSS, 1856 in
1880, and l9l ,290 in 1879. The effective
strength on January /, 1882, was lS9, l33,
as compared with lSS, 1858 on the CORE
spending date of 1881, and l9l ,S04 on
that of 1880. Ofthe recruits who joined
the regular army during 1881, Il, 4l9 were
under and IL ,761 over 20 years of age,
9S3 were under IL, 90 between l7and IS,
j, 90l between Is and 10, and 9,50S Were
between 10 and 20, while 249 were .
and upwards; 996 of the total deserted
within three months of enlistment.
During 1871 the total deserters were
4,4l2, of which 1853 rejoined; 2,4S4 OF
the total had not served for twelve
months.

Of the shortness of the session, but told
him he must come before the next con-

The injunction of secrecy has been re
moved relative to the commercial treaty
between this government AID Mexico,
tecently siGned by the commissioners of
me two governments, and now before
the senate for its action. The principal
Articles in the Mexican schedules to be
admitted free into the United States are
a variety of unmanufactured articles that
are needed in this country, while the
main items on the schedule of United
States articles to be admitted free of duty
into Mexico are: Machinery ofall sorts,
classes and descriptions, for mining,
agricultural and other purposes; agri-
cultural implements. wagons, coaches
and all sorts ofvehicles that are pulled
by animals; tools that are composed of
brass, iron, steel or wood or any combin-
alton of these materials; all classes of
rolling stock, from passenger cars to
steam engines, that are used upon rail-
roads; petroleum, crude and refined
barbed wire for fencing, with all it's fix
ures; houses of wood or iron, builtready
to put up; pumps of mines and large
number of other things manufactured IN
the United States, besides coal, etc. The
advantages are decidedly in favor of the
United States, i'll every respect, but if
Mexicans are satisfied there is nobody
to complain. The markets that will be
opened for the products of American
mechanical skill is every day growing
more and more important. The treaty
IS signed by U. s. Grant and VIM. HI.
Prescott for the United States and NJ.
Romero and NJ. Canedo for Mexico.

Carl Schurz, editor of the New York
Evening Post has been doing a good
work in arousing the people of the south
20 the evils of homicide and murder in
that section His articles are copied with
approval in the leading southern papers.
The points he incuIcates are; First, to-
eradicate, especially from thu minds o
young men, the antiQuate6 and foolish
notion that it is decent and gentlemanly
and chivalrous to resort to viole nee upon
every possible provocation. d, to
discourage che carrying of conce aled
weapons, and to see that the law prohi-
biting the enforced. Third, to use their
whole influence to the end that homicide
be punished according to law without
fear or favor. The Southern press is not
mealy-mouthed in dcnouncing that sort
of 'chivairy and the extravag INT talk in
the south about 'higher type of man
hood" which ''quickly resents an in
jury" and about "chivalrous'' or "ca-
valierly" spirit which is already to APP
peal to the sword or to the pistol to re-
dress ones own or othe r peoples grew
ances and the result cannot be other
wise than beneficial.

THE PERFECT MARRIAGE.
1t is Not Entirely Marrying Blacl
Eyes to Hue.

Eyes TO Hue.
From one of Theodore Parker's Sermons
Men and women, and especially young
people, do not know that it takes years to
marry completely two hearts, even of the
most loving and well sorted. But nature
allows no sudden change. We slope very
gradually from the cradle to the summit OF
life. Marriage is gradual, fraction of us
at time.
A happy wedlock is long falling in love.
/ know young persons think love belongs
only to brown hair and plump, round, Grim
son cheeks. So it does for its beginning,
Just as Mount Washington begins at Bos-
ton Bay. Bnt the golden marriage is part
of love which the bridal day knows nothing
of
Youth is the tassel aud silken flower OF
love; age Is the full corn, ripe and solid in
the ear. Beautiful is the morning of love
with It's prophetic crimson, violet and gold,
with its hopes of days that are to come.
Beautiful also is the evening Of love, with its
glad reiiiembrances, and its rainbow side
turned toward heaven as we'll as earth.
Young people marry their opposites in
temper and general character and ,such
marriage is generally good one. They do
it instinctively. The young man does not
blue, ard my overvehemence requires to be
little modified with somewhat of dullness
and reserve" When these opposites come
together to be wed they do not know it, but
each thinks the other Just like himself.
Old people never marry their opposites;
they marry their similars and from calcu-
lation. Each of these two arrangements is
very proper In their long journey these
opposites will fall out of the way a great
many times, and both will charm the other
back again. and by and-by they will be
agreed as to the place they will go to and the
road they will go by, and become recon
siled. The man will be nobler aud larger
for being associated With SO mucn human
ity unlike himself, and she will be nobler
woman for having manhood beside her that
seeks to correct her deficiencies and supply
not too great, and there be real, piety and
love in their hearts to begin with.
The old bridegroom. having much
shorter journey to make, must associate
himself with one like himself A perfect
marriage is, perhaps as rare as perfect per.
sonal beauty. Men and women are married
fractionally-new q small fraction, then
large fraction.
Very few are married totally, and they
only, 1 think, after some forty or fifty years
of gradual approach and excitement. Such
large and sweet fruit is a complete mar
riage that il needs winter marriage OF love
and Judgment between man and woman
is one of the things 80 very handsome that
if the sun were. as the Greek poets tabled,
god he might stop the world in order to
feast his eyes with such spectacle.

Sixteen Children Killed by a Fire
Panic

An outbreak of fire under the stairs oil
the second floor of a school house at.
tached to the German Catholic Church
of the Most holy Redeemer, fourth
street New York between Avenue \
and First Avenue, at 3: Is Tuesday after
noon, was the cause of terrible ia.
lamity. No less than fourteen children
lost their lives. Over 700 scholars,
mostly children of the poorer classes,
ranging from to / l years of age, attend
the school and were in THEN, class rooms
when the alarm of fire was raised. I'm
mediately alarmed, the class became
panic-stricken and a rush was made 70
the hallway. On the stairs already
crowded, a deadly crush took place.
The railing of the stairs broke and the
mass of struggling children was
precipitated to the floor below, falling
in packed mass one upon another from
four to FIVE deep. Police and fireman
already summoned arrived, but their
work of rescue was much hampered by
the frightened children continuing to
fall or leap from the stairway, those in
front being crowded over the broken
balustrade by children behind still
struggling to reach exist.
The fire from which the smoke spread
through the building, bringing such re-
suits to innocent pupils, was of mos
trivial character.

In the current number of the Popular
Science Monthly, Prof. f. w. Gillian has
an article on "The African in the United
States" in which he argues that in course
of time the white race will be in great
minority, because the eolored race is far
more philoprogenitive and prolific. He
gees on to show that the white popula-
ton, increasing at the rate of twenty
per cent, in ten years, or two per cent.
per annUm, doubles itself every thirty
Eve years. The black, increasing at the
rate Of thirty five per cent, in zen years.
or three and a talf per cent. per annum,
doubles itself in twenty years. Hence
he finds that in 1880 the southern blacks
will number 182 900, 00,f-while the
sout ern whites will number only &c.
100000. "What will the upshot be-
asks Professor Gillian, when the black
population, advancing on the white,
finally outnumbers it? The outlook is
most serious. 1t isyt repetition of the Is
raelites in Egypt, lower and laborinp
class gaining in population on the up
per, and, as a distinct and alien race,
causingapprehensions to the Egyptian 81
Prof. Gilam's article is INTERESTING, like
the dream of an opium eater, but tn
terrible black monster which he sees ad
vancing with open NAV to swallow up
the unfortunate white race is only an
African nightmare.

The New Orleans Times says when
the rush home of the carnival visitors to
that city began a tally was kept, and
the railroad and transportation lines
now reports that the number of visitors
taken to the carnival was fifty-five
thousand, being the largest number
ever visiting New Orleans to enjoy the
celebration. 1t says that this does not
represent the entire number of carnival
visitors, for there were many persons
spending the entire winter there with
friends who could not, of course, be in
cluded in this estimate. The Times
thinks it safe to say that over three
hundred thousand persons witnesse d
and took part in The Mardi Gras celebra
ton. 1t is safe 70 say that the expendi-
lures in New Orleans of the 5000 visi-
tors averaged $50 each,- which would ag-
Pregate over one million dollars.

colonel Yen's Electioneering.

From the Louisville Cour1er-Jo urnal.
In 1885 Colonel Archibald Yell, of Ar
kansas, becamea candidate for congress
He had competitor at the beginning
of the canvass, but soon scared him OF
the track. Here hangs tale, and /
must tell it. The two were to dine to-
gether on certain day, and came across
some men who were shooting for beef.
Colonel Yell asked them if they would
allow him to take part in what he called
their "game." On receiving their assent,
he alighted, made several shots, and
won several quarters of beef. He then
lies in the neighborhood?D On being in
formed he sent them all the beef be
had won with his compliments.
Mounting his horses they soon ar
rived at campmeeting on the wayside.
There they tarried several hours. When
the competitor thought it was about time
to be moving on he searched all over the
camp ground for Colonel Yell, but could
not find him. AT length he went up
near the altar and there stood Colonel
Yell, singing at the top of his voice:
Chow firm foundation, We saints of the
Lord" The reader can imagine his
surprise. With some difficulty he sue
ceeded in getting Colonel Yell out from
amongst the brethren, took him to one
side and said: "I'm off, .OH whereY
asked Colonel Yell. "Of the track, re-
sponded he. 81 see it is perfectly use
less to run against man who on the
same day can shoot for beef with the I'M
cody and sing pious songs over the
moufners at camp meeting"
Colonel Yell was elected, and re-elec-.
ted in 1887, serving until the fourth of
March, 1889. In 1910 he was elected
governor of the state for four years.
In 1916 he was again returned to con-
gress, bat resigned in 1916 to serve in
the Mexican war. He was mustered in
to the service as colonel of the First Ar
kansas volunteer cavalry, and was killed
in a liant charge upon the enemy at
the battle of Beuna Vista, February 70,
IS47.

SENATE. The resolution for a special cont
mittee to investigate the improvement Of
Mississippi river navigation below Cairo was
adopted. The naval appropriation bill
came up, and the clause devoting 81, 600 900
for the completion Of monitors caused a
sharp discussion, in which the old scandals
relating to the navy department. were dis
cussed. The appropriation was, however,
voted.
The clause changing the grade Of masters
to lieutenants, and midshipmen to ensigns,
had been striker out and The change was
endorsed without opposition, as was the
provision to abolish the pay corps, by as
signing line officers to all vacancies,
s Waa mus master r. disposed fV Of 'in oSeT
which the house wrangled two days. The
house clause abolishing the grade of COM
modore went out without murmur. Sem
ator Rollins was disposed to plead for some
of these amendments, but he was cut off in
the most positive manner by Frye who
said that they intended to make, this naked
appropriation bill without any Legislative
features.
HousE-The bill creating three new land
districts in Dakota passed. Conference re-
ports on the army, Notifications and Indian
bills were made and agreed to. The sundry
civil bill was taken up. Mr. Pound offered
an amendment repeating the pre-em ption
laws, also all laws authorizing the filing OF
declaratory statements for the entry OF pub
lie ands by an agent CT attorney. 1t was
ad opted.
Mr.. Washhurn advocated the am endtiieiit,
contendihg that the presumption laws should
be repealed. The manner IN which the pub
lie lands we're taken up under these laws was
a perfect scandal No hon, st man could lie
legitimate calm without being prosecuted
by Adventures and land sharks. Now was
the time to have this matter stopped. The
public lands had been dedicated to actual
Settlers and they should be guarded for that
purpose. Congress should shut out this armS
of harpies and Adventures, Who went out
west in order to sap the lile-blood ofthat de.

winnipeg's Wealthy Churches.

Frofl the Boston Post.
There are eleven religious societies in
the city of Winnipeg, and their aggre-
gate wealth is estimated at ll,300,0-0
This statement would not go unchal-
lenged If no facts in explanation were
given. In the early history of the eoun.
try the Hudson's Bay Company made
grants OF land to the various churches
Protestant and Catholic. They gave no
deed, but simply made an entry of the
gift of the lands In the company's book,
This was considered all that was neces-
sary at the time. Tie lands were prac-
tically valueiess tlen. And the com
pany's promise then was considered as
good as deed now. But in later years
the deed was considered much prefera-
BILE, and in most cases it has been OBJ
tanned. We ne I'd not go into history OF
the bolt ON in Winnipeg lands, but suf-
fee Il to say that the lands decided to the
Roman Catholic church all situated with
IN radius of miles to the center OF
Winnipeg, are now valued at 100000 900.
On very small portion of the Roman
Catholic possessions the Archbi shop !.
assessed $500 900, and for block valued
at So, DOC. 600 the Archbishop has recent
" refused S5,0O00O0. There Episcopal
churches have over 100000 worth oil
property, mostly land; the Methodists.
$456,0O0; Presbyterians, S125,000. and
the remainder is divided among the
Baptists and Congregationalists. A
number Of costig church ,,btildings
have already been erected in Winnipeg,
and tits said that two Sl0G, 900 structure
will be erected either this year or next.
Several of the religious societies have
sueculated In city lands and made good

Bismarck to a NIinnesotian

Some time ago H. w. CRUDE, of st. Paul
sent couple of boxes of seed wheat,
grown upon his own farm near Bismarck,
D. T., to Prince Won Bismarck, the great
Prussian premier. He lately received a
reply, of which the following is trans
lation:
yARzIN, Prussia, Nov, 81, lSS2-Yoqr
kind remittance of samples of grain
from your present home, as well as the
accompanying lines, have received.
Please accept my sincere thanks. I
shall cause the seed to be sown here, on
my lands, and shall be interested in
their future so much the more as they
come from an old countryman and we're
grown near the city bearing my name
on the other side of the globe.
(Signedl BISMARCK.
From the letter his highness, possibly.
thinks Mr.. CRUDE walks from ST. Paul to
his farm every morning; but be that as
it may, the recipient is naturally pleased
at the acknowledgment of his courtesy
