Forces of England and Russia.

Russia has more soldiers and more ships of war than any other country in the world. In her standing army there are 780, 900 men, and she has 358 ships in her navy. It costs $l25, ,000, 900 a year to keep her military establishments on their peace footing, and her military authorities say they can place 1900, 900 trained men under arms in war time. The English standing army is 1S2, 900 men. This includes the English regu- lar troops serving in India. The Eng fish War Office authorities profess to be able to put 642, 900 well-drilled and ef- fective British troops in the field if called on to do so. This does not in- clude the Indian auxiliary forces, which would swell the total British forces at home and abroad to over 1, ,000, 900 men. IL costs England S90, 900, 900 year to keep up its regular army. In 1853 there were 52, 900 Irish soldiers in the English army; now there are only 31,- 900. In 1853 great number of Irish men from Tipperary, Armagh, Kilkenny, and other Irish militia regiments volun- teered for active service, and were sent to the Crimea. The English navy con tains 283 ships. But while the Rus- sian navy contains more vessels than the English navy, it must be remem- bered that England spends three times as much on her navy as Russia spends an hers.

A Tramp Defends Ladies.

Information is given of a sensational occurrence near Wadesboro, N. O., on Tuesday evening. An Irish tramp called at house occupied by two ladies and asked for lodging. They at first refused his request, but finally agreed to look him in a closet, where he was to remain all night. About 12 o'clock the ladies were walked bya negro who had come into the room. He threatened to kill them if they made an outcry and de- manded money, which one of the ladies said she would get. She then went to the closet and unlocked the door, when the tramp, who had heard the whole conversation, sprang out, pistol in hand. The negro started to run, but the tramp fired, killing him instantly. Shortly after it was discovered that the supposed negro was white man, who had black ened himself and invaded the house. He was recognized as near neighbor of the ladies.

A Faithful Officer.

Captain Bassett, the venerable Ser geant-at-Arms of the United States Senate, has been in continuous service for more than fifty years. The captain started in as page. At that time there was but one in the Senate, and Daniel Webster wanted young Isaac Bassett appointed as an additional page. The other Senators thought it great ex- travagance-two pages for forty-eight Senators It was enough to bankrupt the republic Captain Bassett declares there was hot debate over the sugges- ton of Webster. However, Webster fought hard and, with his great elo- quence, succeeded. So young Bassett was appointed.
 Although his hair is now as white as snow, he loves fun, and is still as merry as boy. Just think of it. He was Senate officer when the Senate met in -the old Chamber, now occupied by the Supreme Court when the House met in their old Hall, now occupied by stat uary donated by the States when the evening sessions of both Houses had to be illuminated by "taliow dips" He has heard Webster, Hayne, Clay, Cal, houn, Benton and Douglass.
 The captains recollection of the days when Senators dressed in swallow tailed coats causes him to shuddsr when inno- vations are suggested. But these inno- vations are constantly going on. It has for many years been the custom to write the name of each Senator on a strip of ivory-white wood, and fasten it on his desk by way of Identification, as "Mr. Sumner" "Mr. Cole" "Mr. Fenton." Last year these wooden labels were re- moved, and silver plates substituted bearing simply the surname without the "Mr.," as "Bayard," "Edmunds, |" "Ransom." I understand the captain has not yet recovered from this horrible act of vandalism Nicholas.

The Big Connecticut Baby.


 The Norwalk Conn Hour prints an interesting account of the year-old baby who weighs seventy-five pounds. It says:
 '"The mother, a slight little woman who weighs, perhaps, twenty pounds more than her son, rugged away at his royal highness and finally managed to seat him upon lounge, and the re- porter was given every opportunity for examining him. The boy has an unusu- ally pretty face, large, bright blue eyes and light hair, which has tendency to curl. His complexion is fair and bis little nose has just enough pug about it to be interesting. His arms are so large that it is with difficulty that he can raise them to his head, while his legs are simply great punches of fat, which are utterly incapable of sustaining the weight of his body. The boy took great fancy to the reporters hat and rained sledge-hammer blows upon the crown with his fists until his mother took it away and gave him two sad-irons to play with. The irons weighed six pounds each, and the boy appeared to handle them as easily as an athlete han dles pair of twenty pound dumb bells. He moves about on the floor with a peculiar hitching motion that is very amusing. He has eighteen teeth and eats, his mother says, almost everything excepting pastry and candy. The boy is bright as 8 dollar, very active, consid- ering his great weight, and welkpropor- toned from the top of his curly head to the soles of his chubby feet. When born Sammy weighed between four and five pounds, and when three months old he weighed only ten pounds. At the end of six months his weight had in- creased to forty pounds, and now at the age of 13 months, he weighs about seventy-fye. The father of the boy, Mir. Henry Tompkins, is employed by Fancher, Rusco & Go. He is a native of Armonk, N. Y. Mrs. Tompkins was born in Sligo, Ireland. The couple are of ordinary height and build. They were married in 1875, and this, their first child, was born in Vista. The youngster has never been sick day."

Where the Best Lobsters Are Taken.

The best Holsters in the world are taken off Monhegan in the winter.
 They thrive better in the deep water
 out to sea than on the shores of the bays where most of the Maine lobstermen set their traps. The Monhegan fisher men are getting splendid prices for their
 Holsters this winter-Sl0 10 Sl0.50 per hundred. Think of that, you people who think you pay high prices for lob sters l The iobber and the retailer have to make profits on these figures. But you probably do not get taste of the big Monhegan lobster, but eat she'd Ash which are caught at Bristol or Boothbay
 or somewhere along there, for which S7.50 per hundred is paid. The Monhe- gan Holsters are shipped to New York and Boston. saw 10, 900 of them in a car in Portland Harbor the other day. The Holsters are kept alive in the great cars, tied to the docks, from the time they are taken out of the smacks till they can be shipped. A lobster car looks like cattle car dattened out. It is huge box sufficiently open to let tue water in and keep the Holsters in. Lob sters are sociable fellows. It is sport to see them rub each others backs and embrace each other, as it bidding their good byes, when they are dipped out of the car and leave their brine for good. They squirm as if they had premoni- tions of hot water. OistotOn Journal

S1YsTERIoUsLY POISONED.
Three Members of a Family the Victims
 Doctors PernIexed.

A Wnliamsport, Pa, dispatch says Dr. Mutt was suddenly called to the south side on Mon day to attend a family, mysteriously poisoned, who reside on Market street, Roektown. There are four in the family-the father, T. k. Smith, his wife and two sons. At night they retired in usual health. About midnight the oldest son, William, was told by his father to go to the barn to investi- gate strange noises. On reaching the yard the young man was taken sick at the stomach and vomited several times before reaching the stable. He found nothing wrong at the barn, and on returning to the house concluded to go up stairs again. At the first step, however, he fell prostrate and unconscious on the floor of the kitchen. In the meantime MT. and Mrs. Smith were taken suddenly sick iu bed and subsequently, became unconscious. The younger son escaped the strange attack, and his astonishment may be imagined when on awakening in the morning he found the entire household unconscious. They had remained in a stupor from little after midnight until halt past eight in the morn- ing. When & physician aerived emetics were promptly administered and the father and son are doing well, but Mrs. Smith is in preca- rious condition and reported as growing worse. The case is being carefully investigated. Thus far all efforts to discover the cause of the singular attack of illness have proved unayail- ing

THE "GREAr EMERGENCY"
Why the Queen Calls Out the Reserves
 Ot Great Britain,

In accordance with a message from the Queen, the War Office of Great Britain called out the army reserves and the militia. The Queens message is as follows:-"The present state of public affairs and the extent of the demand on Her Majestys mili- tary forces for the protection of the interests of the Empire having constituted in the opinion of Her Majesty 8 case of great emergency, Her Majesty has deemed it proper to provide additional means for the mili- tary service. She has therefore thought it right to communicate to the House of Con- mons that she is about to cause the reserve forces and such proportion of the militia as permanent service" The Marquis of Harting- ton will call attention to the message in the House of Commons on Monday.
 The calling out of the reserves and militia has increased the excitement over the Anglo Russian dispute, especially in military circles. Orders for thousands of Martini-Henry rifles and reyolvers have been sent to Birmingham. The arms are to be shipped to Bombay as rapidly as completed. The factories at Bir- minghsm are working night and day. The preparations for war continue with great ac- tiviiy. Orders have been sent to Portsmouth to put the steel d.ipstch vessel Mercury, ten guns, in readiness for immediate ser vice. The armor- plated turret ships Devasta- tion and Colossus, and the corvette Bacchante, together with the troop ship Orontes, are also under preparatiL n for the sea. Orders have been sent to the armorers throughout the Kingdom to return immediately to the Tower of London all the Martini-Henry rifles which they have in stock. The object of having them sent to the Tower is that they may be inspect ed, after which they will be dispatched to India.
 The Afghans are reported to be full of war enthusiasna. It is estimated that the moment hostility begins 12,C00 Afghan regular troops and 50, 900 undriled tribesmen can be put into the field to cooperate with the British. The total British force capable of efficient service in Afghanistan if war occurs within the next three months will be 85, 900. Of these 40,00O will be British soldiers and 45 900 will be native Indian troops. The Indian War Office is con tinually receiving applications from officers of the British volunteer force asking for appoint ments in the active army in case of war with Russia.
 Orders have been sent to the Mediterranean stations to have all the magazines overhauled, to see that the ammunition on hand is up to the normal standard in quality and quantity, and to pr, pare all gunboats and torpedo ves- | sels at the stations to be put into commission | for sea service.
 The members of the Third Royal Fusileers | and the Fifth Rifle Brigade, both militia or J ganizations, are responding largely to the i Queens call for volunteers to serve with the | regulars. In the event of war 25,00O militis | will be assigned to garrison duty in Ireland and that number of regulars will be released for active service.

SALVADOR INVADED.
SkIrmishinx Between the OutpOsts of the
 Opposing Armies.

dispatch from La Libertad, San Salvador, says: The war which has been thought ineyit- able for some days past has already become an actuality.

FATAL FIRE IN BUFFALO.
Music Hall and the St. Louis Catholic
 Church Destroy ed-NarrOw Escape of
 the DIcCaull Opera COmpRny-One Man Killed.

About o'clock Wednesday evening, as an attache Of Music Hall was lighting the gas-jets just above the stage, 8 drop-tly took fire from a defective burner. In an instant the whole stage was in flames, and six minutes later the entire building was burning. The McCaull Opera Company was dressing preparatory to the production of "Falka," and had barely time to escape, some only partially dressed The company lose their entire wardrobes for the operas of "Falka," ''The Little Duke" and ''The Queens Lace Hand kerchief," and the company had had most of their trunks brought to the building, and these were consumed also. Very few persons had arrived to witness the per formance and all escaped without injury.
 An hour later the St. Louis Roman Catholic Church, at the rear of Music Hall, took fire, and it was soon evident the magnificent edifice was doomed.
 Two citizens, George Smith and Joseph Green, ascended ladders in front of the church for the purpose of assisting the fremen in directing the work. The building burned rapidly and the firemen and Smith hastily left the roof, which they had reached, but Green remained behind, and frantically rushed to the cupola, climbing it in full view of the thousands of spectators and clambered to the lightning rod, but returned and rushed to the body of the roof, which was now burning fiercely.
 He rushed to the corner of the building and, needless of the cries of the fremen, who had tarpaulin stretched for him to jump into, made for the tower, and from it hung by his hands fully ten minutes.
 An attempt was made to reach him with 8 ladder, but was unsuccessful, owing to the network of telegraph wires surround ing the building. At this time the en- tire front of the church was envel- oped in flames and for a time dense smoke hid the imperilled man from view. When the smoke cleared away he was seen to be still clinging to the edge of the roof. Then he lunged forward, let go his hold on the roof and fell His feet struck the lower roof as he fell, and turning over he struck on his head and was instantly killed.
 At 8:30 o'clock the tower of Music Hall fell in with a crash and in few minutes after the front walls fell into the street. The south wall remained in tact. The fire was confined to Music Hall and the church.
