From the Times of India.
A short time back Mr.. Bright delivered a
speech welcoming the Marquis of Ripon back
to England, and dwelling on all the advantages
which the rule of his lordship had procured for
this country. Among other things Mr. Bright
said he was glad to learn that our noble Eng
lish language, the language of Milton, was be-
coming better known in India, and was spread
Ing to the masses of the people-or words to
that effect. The other day, happening to be
walking by the barracks, l received a striking
proof Of the correctness Of Mr. Bright's asser.
tlon. Three very small boys were having an
improvised game OF cricket. The wicket was
represented by piece OF board resting against
O large stone, the bat was a splint from some
old box, and the ball was old and angular
The day was hot, and the three little cricketers
had dispensed with cricketing costume In
fact, they had nothing on but the shiny brown
skin with which kind Mother nature had en-
lowed them at their birth. But they played
the game with the utmost earnestness and
Vlgor, as they had often seen the soldiers doing
outside the barracks. '.Pla-a-a-y!' shouted the
wicket-keeper joyfully, as the board tumbled
down. "Damn!' said the youthful batter ener-
getica!ly as he gave up the bat and took up the
ball. Truly, thought as watched this scene,
MIR. Bright Is quite right, and the knowledge Of
our noble English language, the language of
Milton, Is decidedly filtering down to the
masses of the people,

From Gen. Grants paper in The Century.
During the siege there had been good deal
OF friendly sparring between the soldiers of the
two armies on picket and where the lines were
close together. All rebels were known as
"Johnnies," all Union troops as 'Yanks.''
Often "Johnny" would call, "Well, Yank, when

manding general down, undoubtedly expected

The FEMININE CRAZE For SHORT HAIR-HOW
THE HAIR Is CUT.
From the Rochester Democrat
The craze among the ladies for wearing the
hair short is becoming general and is spreading
all the country over. 1t has already become
very popular in Rochester and now the most
stylish young ladies in the city are parting
with their raven and golden tresses There

patrons Some interesting and strange scenes
are now seen IN the city hair-dressers' establish
"A handsome young lady, just from boarding
school, came into my shop on Tuesday and said

panion, who had seen Miss Cleveland, and with
the aid of the photograph, l cut and trimmed
her hair To her complete satisfaction. Oh,
hapS Miss Cleveland has something to do with
1t. but am inclined to believe that Miss Maude
Granger, Miss Dora Wiley and other actresses
and singers who are great favortes with
women, started the style here OF course it
helps our business, but leaving all selfish rea-
sons aside, Is 1t not the most reasonable craze
that has recently come into style? Why Won

HOW TIE DEFICIT rs THREAT.

THE GAZETTE has received a note ask
ing for information. The writer inquiries
why 1t is that Democratic administra-
tion threatens the treasury with deficit
of s24, 100000 so soon after taking power,
while under Republican administrations
1t was OVERLOOKING, and the puzzling ques-
tion was how to cut down taxation so as
to relieve the treasury OF its burden.
A false conception Of the state of affairs
makes worse showing for the treasury
than really exists. THE GAZETTE will
endeayor to explain matters to the bes I
OF its ability;
Reference to the report OF Secretary OF
the Treasury Manning shows that the rev
enues of the government for the fiscal year
ending June so last, were ss2s..
90,706.Ss. The expenditures for tho
same period were $3.50, 22G ,995 III.
leaving surplus of s6s ,46s.77l 81
which, after the payment OF $4,000.

surplus Of sl7,s59,7s5.s4. The estimated
receipts from all sources for the present
fiscal year ending June 80, 1856, are ssl5.

SENATOR EDMUNDs is intent upon the
humiliation of Mormonism. He will in
troduce bill, proposing that the act Of
the legislature OF the state of Deseret,
under which the Mormon church was in
corporated, shall be annulled and that the
temporal affairs of the church shall be
managed by trustees, appointed by the
president, and who shall wind up the in
stitution. It's property is to be conGscat-
ed to the United States and sold for the
benefit of public schools, except the por-
ton actually used for religious purposes.
1t is supposed that this bill, If passed,
will do more to suppress Mormonism
than any other means that could be
adopted.
