Uncle Sam has 300, 900, 900 in his
strong box. and in this respect is not
hard up. But he owes 81, ,84S, 600. 900,
and is therefore 81 ,448, 100000 behind
the world. Fifty-five million of people
are his indorsers, however, and his
credit is pretty good the world over. He
can get trusted for anything he wants.
Our Indian population, exclusive of
those in Alaska, is reported as number
ing 100000, nearly all being located on
lands set apart for their use and occupa-
ton, aggregating over 134,000,000 of
acres. As this is more than 500 acres

Kind Ludwig. of Bavaria, was taking
a solitary walk the other day in the
Bavarian Alps, when his passage
through field was suddenly impeded
by an angry OK. The King waited pa

monarch SO much that he had himself
photographed in the same position of
attack.
The Hon. j. Wilbur Graham was
waiting on negro woman in his store
the other day, and picked up on the
floor where she stood a crumpled bill,
which a glimpse showed him to De of
the denomination of 800. He knew on
the instant it did not belong to his Gus
toner; he did not know whom it be-
longed to: and if the owner was not

= "Among the motives assigned for the
Cars hasty act in dismissing Prince
Alexander from the Russian army, SAYS
the Vienna correspondent of the London
Times, s.this one seems to find pretty

Mr.. Lascelles with view to its being
published in England if it should become
necessary publicly to vindicate the
Rumeliots against the charge of having
risen against Gayril Pasha without suffi-
eient cause. The Gar, on hearing of
this, is said To have been almost beside
himself with anger. and Immediately
ordered the removal of Prince Alex
