.INTIAaTE ACoUaINTANCEs.~

Under this head next week we shall give
a lively article describing the various little
pests which used to be so familiar-entirely
too familiar-with the boys in war times.
The article viii discuss in a brightly funny
way the tgrayback," flea, tick, mosketo, jig
ger, tarantula etc, and be illustrated with
correct drawing Of each of the little animals.
Much of the information contained in the
article was obtained from the foremost of
American entomologists, so that the matter
will be instrnctiye rs well as amusing.

ENGLAND's DANGER.


1t now remains to be seen whether the
peace which England has concluded with
Russia-even in the event that it lasts any
length of time1will not prove far more
costly and disastrous to her than even n long,
bloody and doubtful contest with her wiley
and inscriptions enemy would have done.
The Afg hans, who from the peculiar situation
of their country and from political expe-
diency have been the allies of Great Britain,
are not only Disguised with the power which
came near precipitating them into war with
Russia by giving them assurance ofsuccor, but
have probably serious doubts rs to England's
ability to cope with their common enemy.
This fact alone may materially assist the
Russians in their march southwark, as
Afghanistan, seeing the folly and hopeless
ness of single-handed contest with that
great power, may, if any threat is made,
quietly acquiesce in the inevitable, and so
far as she is concerned allow the Muscovite
to march unchecked to the Indus.
This is by no means the only danger that
menaces Englands interest in the East.
Probably the greatest danger lies in India
itself As is well known the HindOO subjects
Of Great Britain are ruled far more by fear
than love, and their belief in the prowess of
the English does much more to uphold
the British rule on the peninsula than
any affection they entertain for their con-
querors. The Hindoos are by no means dull
of comprehension, but, on the contrary, are
quick-witted and far-seeing, and the weak
ness and the vacillatiOn England has shown
in her dealings with Russia has certainly
not escaped those keen and subtle Asiatics.
Even had it done so Russia would be by no
means backwards at opening their eyes to
the real state of affairs as the Bear in his
recent dealings with the Turkoman tribes,
has shown himself to be quite as much an
adept in the art of chicane as in that OF war
and conquest Russia, too, has shown her.
self in her recent conquests to be far more
adept in the art of cOnciliating those she has
| conquered than Great Britain has. Many of
| the recently conquered TurkOmans hold po-
| sitions of honor and trust in both her mill
tary and civil service, and have thus become
attached by the strongest ties to their con-
querors. In other words, the policy of Rus
STA has been to Russianize all her dependen-
cies. England has pursued directly con-
trary policy. She has never for moment
tried to make the Hindoo feel that he is the
equal of his fellow-subject in London or
Manchester, or that he is an object of as
much care by the Imperial Government.
| The emissaries of Russia viii not be at all
slow in pointing out these facts to the in
habitants of India, who, already learning to
| despise the apparent weakness of their con-
querors, may not in the near future turn a
deaf ear to the flattering whispers Of the
| willy Muscovite.

WHEN the murderous Apaches are at last
run down and caught, we will, in accordance
with our customary Indian policy, pet and
fatten them on reservation until they are
ready for another slaughtering foray. There
is about as much sense in this sort Of pro-
ccdure rs there would be in making rattle
snake nursery in the midst of a populous
district. About all that an Apache is good
for is conversion into fertilizing material

gang slew was worth more to the country
than all the Apaches that ever lived.

THERE is one very practical way for the
advocates of silver money to aid in making
their views prevail. We wonder that they
have not thought of it before. 1t is this:
Let every man who favors that species of
money insist upon silver payments in his
business transactions. Let him, when he
tenders a So bill in payment of a 81 pur-
chase, ask, that his change be in silver dol
lars. If this is done continually and sys-
tematically by number of people in various
parts Of the country, it will tend to start the
circulation and relieve the Governments
vaults of their plethora ofcoin. Ifevery man,
woman and child in the United States
wanted three silver dollars, it would drain
every silver coin out Of the Treasury and
the national banks to supply them.

ALL who participated in the siege of
Vicksburg will remember the famous gun,
"Whistling Dick" which used to be so in

gun was Capt. Richard Agar, who commit

count of suffering from dyspepsia and insom-
MIA. By birth he was an Irishman, and
served in the British army. When the war
broke out he became Captain of artillery in
the Confederate army under Gen. Paul
Hebert, and was in Fort Jackson, below New
Orleans, when Admiral Farragut forced the
passage of the forts in 1862. Of late years
he has been in the sugar business in New
