RECRUITING FOR THE ENGLISH ARMY.

RECRUITING FOR THE ENGLISH ARMY.
Comparatively small as the army is
that England has sent to Egypt, it has
weakened to very considerable extent al
most every regiment in the service, not only
in numbers, but in material, Sir Garnet
Wolseley having selected for the expedition
the very best men he could find in the entire
army. Being fully aware Of the hardships
of the campaign, he has left at home all the
extremely young soldiers who were not in
ured to hardship and privation, and taken
with him only such veteran material as he
can count upon in the long and tedious
marches he will have to make under the
burning sun Of Africa The Government of
England is evidently somewhat alarmed at
the depletion in the ranks Of its army and
is endeavoring to fill up the gaps by offering
all manner of inducements to young men to
enlist. The youthful Briton, however, does
not seem to be hankering after military
the offers that are made to him of large pay,
bounties and pensions, and even of silver
medal to wear on his breast after he shall
have served in the ranks and on the field
for 25 years, he prefers to drive jack-plane
or ploW, or swing hammer in forge.
Even tie life of ease and pleasure which is
promised him in the barracks cannot draw
him from the ordinary walks of life; and life
in an English barracks, as far as superficial
observer can judge, is, as compared with
barrack life in any other country, certainly
very agreeable. The English soldier has at
his command sources of amusement that
plainly indicate the desire of the authori-
ties to render the routine of military life as
tolerable as possible The barracks are pro-
vided with racquet courts, cricket grounds,
billiard tables, libraries, and, in fact, almost
everything to amuse the men and lift the
burden of time from their shoulders. But
with all this there is some cause that rem
ders the service highly unpopular, and John
Bull will have to set his wits to work to
find out where the trouble is and apply
remedy, or after while he will have no
army at all.

A SATISFIED ADyERT!SER,

Col. Geo. B. Harper, Superintendent of
the Kentucky & South Atlantic Railroad,
and also the Cincinnati &c Green River
Railway, had several thousand acres of tim
Der land in Kentucky to dispose of, and
wisely advertised it in THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE One insertion of 1O-line read
ing-matter advertisement did the business
for him, and he writes:
1t did the business. / now want merchant
to run general store at the terminus of our
new railroad. Enclosed you will find the

lished that is so good general advertising

Mr.. RUsKIN appears to entertain rather
poor opinion of the success of modern mis-
sions. He says: GAS for the new Christian
lied continents that have arisen in these
later days the missionary Office of England
in Africa and America has chiefly consisted
in stealing lands and exterminating their
inhabitants. Our introduction of Christian
ity into India has only taught the natives
to wear Paisley shawls instead of cashmere;
and in Australia the Christian aid that We
have rendered has been principally to help
pious farmers to convict labor

A RECENT decis!. of the Supreme Court
gives very substan; i victory to the officers
of the Army. As cry one knows, the law
gives every officer of the Regular Army, under
the rank of igadier-Gcneral, an increase of
10 per cent. in his pay for every five years of
service. The officers have always held that
the time spent at West Point as Cadets should
be included in computing their length of serv-
ice. The War Department declined to take this
view. At length q test suit was brought by
Capt. Morton, of the Third Cavalry, who repre-
sented several hundred of his brother officers
The Supreme Court decided in his favor, and
SO every graduate of West Poiut will have four
years added to his longevity computation.

IT seems that our scare over the wholesale
immigration of the Chinese was unnecessary.
There is no real inducement for bringing
them to this country, for they are not so
good laborers as any other race that comes
here. The Californians have found out by
actual experience that the negro is a supe-
rior laborer to them, and they are importing
Tennessee negroes by thousands to take the
place of Chinese on the big ranches and
contracts.

THE ATTEMPT to fill up Canada by immigra-
ton seems to be about as successful as trying
to pour rat-hole full of water. The returns
show that of the 1877 900 immigrants that were
brought to Canada last year AZ per cent. imme-
diately crossed over to the United States to
settle. Manitoba and the Northwest Terrific
ries only received 9,700, or 81 per cent less
than they did last year. The Canadian publ
cists say that at this rate it begins to look as
if it would take some centuries to fill up the
country west of Lake Superior by immigration.

EVEN without counting the campaign ora
tors, they have ever so much more wind out
West than they know what to do with. One
genius has devised a moving windmill, which
he claims will be propelled by its own power, and
have sufficient force to drag after it 10 break
ing plows, and break up at least 10 acres a day.
He thinks it can be used as locomotive to
carry heavy loads.

THERE are some things which, if the
farmer would remember, would mitigate his
discouragement over the low prices of pro-
duee. In the first place his crops are enor-
mous,-he has much more of every thing to
sell than he usually has, which partly makes
up for the low prices. Next, the things thai
he has to buy are very cheap. Never in the
world have sugars been so cheap, and dry
goods, clothing, boots and shoes, and many
other of the staples of life have fallen very
greatly in price. So that altogether he Ia
not nearly so badly off as the tumble in
price of wheat would indicate.

THE right to vote is not " a natural and

had criminal sentence imposed upon them.

Yankton county we had party and a
ticket of which we could be proud and
it was proposed to elect it. He did not
deem it any offense to ask the democrats
to vote with us at elections or in our
caucoses and conventions. When re-.
publicans helped make nominations they
should all stand by it, though some were
disappointed. They should not go out
and try and defeat those nominations. It
was wrong to try and elect democrats to
Office and the republican party should
carry its whole ticket by rousing ma
iority.
