Report OF Major-General Schofield.

The annual report of Major.G General
Schoticld, commanding the Division Of the
Missouri, treats OF operations in that divis.
ion during the past year. The roster OF
troops in the division shows seven rcgi.
ments and ten companies Of cavalry, nine
teen regiments and one company Of in
fantry and four batteries Of field artillery.
The report urges the necessity Of liberal
appropriations to provide shelter and bar
racks for troops in the division. He refers
to the destitute condition OF certain Indian
tribes in the Department Of the Platte and
urges means for their relief. lie urges the
necessity for practical school for field ar.
tillery fashioned after the schools Of ap-
plication for infantry and cavalry a, Fort
Leavenworth. lie mentions the cncamp.
ments OF the Illinois National Guard dur.
ing the months Of July and August, when
the inspection Of the troops occurred by
Lieutenant Colonel Sweitzer, Eighth cav
airy. General Schofeld in this connection
invites attention to the importance Of
schools for the practical instruction Of the
militia of the several States. The urgent
need is for TIE education of both officers
and men in the use Of the modern rifle in
field maneuvers necessary to make rife
firing effective, and :: detail! Of army life,
both in camp and ir garrison. One year
OF such instruction TO young men between
the age of II and 20 years would make,
he argues, excellent soldiers, far more val.
liable than many times their number Of
unframed militia. The national govern.
ment might we'll give reasonable aid to
these schools in money, military materials
and experienced instructors such As would
make the system Inexpensive to States.

CHINESE ATROCITIES.
Celestial MOI,s Cloanlns Out the Christi
ians ~ China.

Hong Kong, China, adviccs up to Nov.
9th say Chinese mobs have been commit.
ting fearful outrages ON the places of
Christian worship and persons at Canton
and interior points. In the province OF
kwang Tung alone, four Roman Catholic
and five Protestant churches have been
destroyed, and from 1,o houses the resi-
dent Christian occupants have been driven
away. In Namhor three Catholic chapels
and convent house have been pillagcd,
and the priests and occupants beaten and
the women outraged.
At Shilling a church Of England ch"pc'
was DESTROYED and the mob tore the cloi
from, the preachers wife and sham.tt,lly
treated her. At Chant.Sun u Wesleyan
chapel is destroyed. The Christians are
fleeing from the provinces to Hong Kong.
The Chinese gave them the alternative Of
sacrificing to idols or leaving their homes.
The Christians preferred the latter, and
many OF the women were caught BY the
mob and outraged.
Twelve Cantonese villages have issued
notices that all Christians must leave.
Fifteen churches in those villages have al.
ready been destroyed. Several stores have
been looted and many persons are home.
less. Although the attention Of the Chin
ese authorities has been called to these
barbarous acts they refuse to notice them.
At Kite Yung tho mob and the soldiers
destroyed all the Roman Catholic and
English Presbyterian churches. At Swa.
tow the Roman Catholic priests were
ordered to leave. After they had left, the
Chinese soldiers broke into the houses aud
ravished the female converts The news
has reached Shanghai from Pekin that
Mr.. Bagnall, colporteur for the American
Bible Society, has been murdered in the

INTERNAL REVENUE.
Annual Report Of Commissioner Evans.

The annual report Of the lIon. Walker
Evans, commissioner Of internal revenue
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1854, has
been submitted to the secretary of the treas
ury. The total receipts from all sources
Of internal revenue taxation for the year is
$12,,soo,o3o. as compared with $I44,5s3,-
344 for the year 1858, $l47,ss3,a7s for the
year 1882, and $l3s,sa9,913 for the year
1851. 1t is estimated that Sill 100000 will
be collected the present fiscal year. The
payment Of the tax ON the large produc
ton spent in 1881 was a material factor in
the collections during the past year. The
commissioner says the falling off anticipat
ed the present year will follow from the
diminished quantity Of Bourbon and ry':
WHISTLES produced in 1882, on which tho
tax will mature during the current fiscal
year. Another cause contributing to the
reduction of receipts, will be largely the
increased expectation Of spirits In bond, on
which for various reasons the owners can
NO, pay tax. Something like 100000
gallons has already been forced abroad
during the current calendar year, because
Of the stagnation in trade, and the refusal
Of Congress to extend the bonded period.
A comparative statement OF receipts for
the fiscal years 1883 and 81 shows Il de-
crease Of $16,o4l,Sso from tobacco; an in
crease Of s.,s3o,61o from spirits, an in
crease Of Sl,1s4,33s from liquors, and de-
crease Of Slo64c,4:4 from the tax under
repealed laws and penalties, making total
decrease of $,c,063,3O5.

November /, 1885,. He says during this
time the entire territory undes the super

from collisions resulting in the loss OF
either lives or property, but the services Of
the military in the West cannot BE- safely
dispensed with for many years to come.
With liberal allowances Of ammunition
and better facilities for target practice than
hitherto, much thought and attention has
been given to rifle firing. The high scores
attained in the annual contest for army
prizes during the past season attest most
gratifying progress in this vitality Import

There is no garden vegetable more
desirable in its season than the well

grown by the farmer, for the reason
that he has not become acquainted
with it, and has but little inclination
to grow any garden vegetable, But
the market gardner often makes it a
speciality, and realizes profit from it..
First, we need perfect seed, imported

that which comes from Italy. 1t is

Sown in May, or as soon as the ground
is sufficiently dry, and the plants may
be set by June, on good moist and rich
soil. 1t is we'll to mulch in dry wealth.

hoed, and apply now and then pulver-
lied hen manure, or guano. They

WOMAN.
HER HEALTH AND LIFE

Depend more on the regularity of her
menstrual functions than to all other causes
combined. An actual or living death is
the inevitable result of arrangement of a
function which makes woman what she is
in every respect, and especially in her men
tai and bodily constitution. Hence, imme'
date relief from such arrangements is the
only safeguard against wreck and ruin. In
all cases of stoppage, delay, or other irregu'
larities of the "courses," DR.. j. Bradfeld'S
Female Regulator is the only sure remedy.
1t acts by giving tone to the nervous centres,
improving the blood, and determining di

Some Vegetables Not Generally Grown

Satisfy is not generally grown, at
least not in farmers gardens. 1t is as
easily managed as parsnips or other
roots. The root is rarely more than an
inch through at the larger end. BY
giving it rich soil and thinning to five
or six inches apart in the row, the size
may be increased. This is often called
the "Oyster Plant" or vegetable
