General Howard Recommends an In
crease in the Number of Soldiers.

0enerai heWaru recommends an In
crease in the Number of Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, November 5ih.- Msjor-
General Howard, commanding the Division
of the Atlantic. in his annual report, dwells
on the necessity of continued activity in
the matter of seacoast defenses. He earn
estly hopes the efforts will be continued to
organize the three branches of the srmv
into regiments of twelve troops, the bat
teries or companies TO be cfficered by the
number and grade of officers now author
ized for the cavalry regiment. The present
maximum of 25 900 enlisted men results in
severe restriction, and TO keep the organi-
zation up to 25.000 the maximum al
lowed should not be less than 35 600
General Howard says the effect of having
an organized army in 1866. with officers of
nearly the same age who had already sut-
fered much hardship in the rebellion, is
now working serious injury TO the sery-
ice. The number of disabled officers far
exceeds the amount of the retired list. Such
officers as are above GA years ofage should,
by legislation, be transferred from the
limited to the unlimited retired list In
case of enlisted men, 30 years service is
too long before retirement, and % yesrs is
suggested.
Until last September the mortality of In-
dian prisoners was excessive, but it now
appears 10 have been checked A new
village should be constructed for them in
place of the present temporary shelters.
The idea of making these Indians selfsus.
tanning had to be given up, and the pay of
fifty cents a day, which has been allowed
those who work for the post, will result in
ameliorating their discoutent.
In conclusion, General Howard suggests
that some system of school battslions OF
boys from II to q years of age be organ
ized as source of supply of material for
non-commissioned officers for the army
and militia

SHORTENING THE ROUTE.
A Saving in Time to be Made Between
Canada and England.


NEW YORK, November 5th.-James john
son, engineer, with two assistants from
London, have arrived, and proceeded to
Quebec to begin the survey of the proposed
Quebec, Montmorencey and Charleroi1
Railway, which is to form one of the most
important links in the new trans. Atlantic
service between Canada and England. The
new company will be known as the North
Canadian Atlantic Railway and Steamship
Syndicate, Limited.
The scheme is to construct line of rail-
way between Quebec and the extreme east
of the Labrador coast, presumably ST..
Charles Bay, whence steamers of twenty
knots can readily accomplish the voyage 10
Milford Haven in ninety-four hours. As
the distance is only SO miles against
4 070 miles from New York TO Liverpool,
the saving on the new route will be sixty
hours. On the English side the Great
Western Railway will make quick connec-
ton to London and Liverpool.
On this side route to Chicago in forty
seven hours will be afforded by the Grand
Trunk and North Canadian Atlantic. This
will make the trip from Chicago to Milford
Haven five days and twenty-one hours.
The same trip consumes at least seven days.
The proposed new route, therefore, will
represent an actual saving of two days and
a half of uncomfortable sea passage.

THE FAMOUS RIDE.
A Feat That Has Few Parallels in Pbysi-
cal Endurance and Bravery

"The greatest physical achievement ever
accomplished in this country" said John
F. Graham at the Glenarm to a Denver
Nears reporter, "was the ride of F. X. Au-
brey from the plaza Of Santa Fe n. NJ, to
the public square at Independence, Mo-,
distance of nearly 800 miles, through a
country inhabited by warlike Indians,
large part of which was then sandy
desert"
Being urged to give an account of the
ride, Graham proceeded: at was about
the year 1851 that Aubrey gave his won-
derful test of human endurance before
which all other attempts of the kind pale
into insignifcance. He was short, heavy
set man, 50 years of age, in the prime of
manhood and strength. His business for
ten years as Santa Fe trader had made
him perfectly familiar with the trail and
the stopping places. He was a perfect
horseman, and, although there were great
riders in those days, none of them cared
to dispute the palm with Aubrey. On
wager of $1,000 he undertook to ride
alone from Santa Fe to Independence
inside of six days. 1t was thirty
nine years ago that he undertook the
terrible feat. 1t was to be the supreme
effort of his life, and he sent half
dozen of the swiftest horses ahead to be
stationed at different points for use in the
ride. He left Santa Fe in a sweeping gal
lop, and that was the pace he kept up dur
ing nearly every hour of the time until he
fell fainting from his foam-covered horse
in the square at Independence No man
could keep with the rider, and he would
have killed every horse in the West rather
than to have failed in the undertaking.
1t took him just five days and nineteen
hours to perform the feat, ard it cost the
lives of several of his best horses After
being carried into room at the old hotel
at independence Aubrey lay for forty-eight
hours in dead stupor before he came to
his senses. He would never have recov-
cred from the shock had it not been for his
wonderful constitution. The feat was
unanimously regarded by Western men as
the greatest exhibition Of strength and en-
durance ever known on the plains"
"What became of Aubrey afterwardY Yi
was asked.
"After his ride be became the lion Of
the West, and was dined and feted at ST.
Louis as though he had been a conquering
hero. He finally met his death at the
hand of friend One day in 1854, in an
alteration with Major Richard H.
| Weightman, the great rider was stabbed TO
| the heart and dropped dead in Senta r
saloon He was buried in an unknown
grave, and all that is remembered OF
Aubrey is his remarkable ride. weight
man was tried upon the charge of murder,
but was acquitted, and, joining the Con
| federate army, was shot at Wilson's creek
while leading his brigade into battle"

One morning / deserted the sacred

A butcher called and made remark
about the weather.
The grocer appeared and asked me II
the '1ady of the house" would like to
examine some nice grapes he had just
received.
A gentleman entered and asked for
Mr.. Brown, although Mr.. Brown lives

A ragged individual came and asked

In a moment an itinerant merchant
appeared with a tray, and so persistent

chased something did not want, just tc
get rid of him.
Then an "old clothes" man paid me
his respects, declaring in most eloquent
rhetoric that he paid the highest prices
for discarded coats, pantaloons, shoes
and hats.
Thereafter a messenger from my tailor
appeared with a little bill. BY that
time 1 had grown somewhat desperate,
