The ARMY and It's Head.

The army consists of ten cavalry
regiments, five artillery, twenty-five
infantry, an engineer battalion, re-
cruiting parties, Indian scouts, the
Vest Point academy, a signal corps
and the hospital service. Its total
strength is about 81, $50 men, divided
approximately as follows: Cavalry,
$500; artillery, 1000; infantry, 49,
900; the West Point academy, 500;
engineer force, 400; the special serv-
ices, 5000. These are occupied in
garrisoning the various forts, arse
nails and supply stations in the coun-
try and in overawing turbulent In
dams. Scarcely $1,000 Of them could
be concentrated to serve in one body
outside the boundaries Of the republic.
The head of the army, General
Schofeld, was born in Chautauqua
county, New York, in 1881, gradu-
ated from West Point in 1853, and
became professor of physics in Wash
ington university, st. Louis, in 1860.
He was commissioned brigadier gen
eral of volunteers il 1861 and served
through the civil war, rising to the
rank of major general. He took
part in Sherman's march to Atlanta
and opposed Hood at the battle Of
Franklin. in 1868 ne acted as secre-
tary Of war.-Daniel D. Bidwell in

An Eartbouake at Sea.

Two distinct quakngs Of the earth
and consequent disturbances of the
sea were felt by the schooner Charles
L. Mitchell on. Monday night, taree
miles southeast Of Cape Henlopen.
The Mitchell arrived at South street
wharf from Cuba with a cargo of
sugar, and Captain Frost told the
story of his experience. His vessel
was slowly beating her way up the
coast under easy sail, when she fell
in with the tug Mum and was taken
in tow for Philadelphia. The wind
at the time was light from the north
east and the atmosphere hazy, but
clear overhead. Captain Frost had
taken in all but a few light sails and
the vessel was heading north, with
both canvas and steam, toward her
port of destination.
Suddenly two terrific reports, Like
explosions were heard, then a rum
bling sound, as if the vessel was
grinding her bottom out on a shoal.
She trembled and spun about on her
keel as if about to be lifted bodilyout
of the water by an unseen power. 1t
was first thought she was fast on a
rocky shore, but it was found that
the observations we're correct, the
vessel being well off shore and IN the
deepest water. Those on the tug
Mum thought that one of the bulk
oil carriers had exploded, but the
rumbling noise and the period OF
time through which it extended after
the first explosion proved conclusive
ly that the report was of a different
character, doubtless from earth

Murder in Iceland.

A murder has been committed in
Iceland. A young fellow has killed
his betrothed in fit Of jealousy. The
whole of the 70, 600 inhabitants of the
island are deeply moved by the event.
1t is ffty-six years since a Like deed
was done. We here in America,
made callous by the constant recur.
renee of crime, cannot realize the
horror such an event inspires in the
simple Icelanders, among whom
crime is as rare as learning is general,
who, without school boards, not sell
dom understand several languages,
whose richest man boasts Of no morc
than 81. 500 a year, and among whom
abject poverty is unknown.-Yankee

Thoughts of the Future.

This year of grace, 1852, will bring
to each of us experiences unforeseen
by any. But the good Lord, whose
providence is over all, has ~foreseen
them, and has ordered them for our
good. Jesus Christ, the same yester-
day, today and forever, is our source
Of hope and peace, and we may seek
to take each day as he sends it to US,
not unduly curious or careful of the
future. May he adjust that future
to our eternal blessing, and conform
us to his will. Forgetting tho things
that are behind, as Paul sought to
forget them, let us press toward the
mark of the prize Of our high calling
in him, bring the new year what it
may. The most varied dispensations,
if they find US diligent at dutydoing,
Will mature to sweetes. fruition in
the end.-Moravian.

A Suit.

Nine months ago a popular actress,
the wife of a comic actor named
Pauly, committed suicide, and a
newspaper published an account of
the private life of the couple, alleging
that the unfortunate woman shot
herself in sheer despair at the Ill
treatment she had received at her
husbands hands. Copies Of the ar
ticle were laid on the grave of Nine.
Pauly and we're there found by her
husband. He brought an action for
defamation of character against the
owner of the newspaper, but before
the case came up for trial NJ. Pauly,
through grief, committed suicide by
shooting himself.
His mother, anxious to clear his
memory from any suspicion Of stain,
asked permission to carry on the case
in the place of her deceased son, and
the editor had to defend himself
against accusations which were prac-
tically raised by a man who had been
dead for several months. He was
found guilty and sentenced to three
months imprisonment.-VieDna Cor.

Use and retained six of the claims.
Thompson, with the eye of an ex-
perienced prospector, declared that
ssthar was a furtun in them claims
Deneen, however, on several occar
sions, was on the eve Of releasing his
claim to the locations, but he had a
superstitious feeling about letting
them go. On several occasions De-
neen has been offered $1,000 for his
mines, but he did not think that was
a sufficient inducement for him to
part with them, although he admits
that if the offer had been doubled he
would have gleefully accepted 1t.
The claims are rich in copper, silver
and gold bearing ore, but, as the dis
trict has not as yet been developed to
any great extent, to properly work
the mines would require the invest
ment Of large capital.
Recently, however. W. S. Healthy,
the agent for an English syndicate,
has been Investigating the Wood
river district, with the result that he
was greatly impressed by the rich
ness of the claims in which Deneen
is a part owner. He made an offer
of $50, 900 for the property. This lib
eral tender somewhat opened the
eyes of John Corbett, the postmaster
at Lander, the county seat Of Ere
mont county, who is acting as De-
mems agent in the matter. Corbett
considered that the mines were worth
more, and by his able bartering the
English syndicate, known as the Lon
don Stock and Mining corporation,
has bonded the claims for 81, 92o, 900.

The Weight of a Grain"

The smallest measure of weight in
use, the grain, has its name from
being originally the weight Of a grain
of wheat. A statute passed in Eng
land in 1866 ordained that thirty
two grains of wheat, taken from the
middle of the ear, or head, and well
dried, should make a pennyweight,
twenty of which should make an
ounce, while twelve ounces were to
make a pound.
The pound therefore consisted chen
of 1850 grains. Some centuries later
the pennyweight was divided into
twenty-four grains, which make the
troy pound, now used, $3.50 grains.
The pennyweight vas the exact
weight of the old silver penny.-St.
