' sent to the of Bepresentatl9at, by request, a statement showing the actum! strength of the regular Army at a seated period, in each year from the beginning of the Government to the present time, from which it appears that the strength of the Army, both officer* and men, from 1780 to 1794, was about that time to 1812 it varied from 8,600 to 6,800, but in 1813 it was increased to 19,000. in consequence of the war with Great Britain, and in the next year to 38,146. In 1815 it was 83,434. For 1816 It fell to 10,000, and In the three years following to 8,500. From 1830 to 1838 It averaged about 6,500. For 1839 it Was increased to nearly 10,000, end in subsequent years to 1846 varied from 8,600 to 11,000. In 1847 it was increased to 21.686, falling in the following years until 1854 to an average of about 10,- 600. For 1855,15,753, and from that vear to 1861 the average was 16,000.-- From 1862 to 1865 the usual annual re­ turn* of the Army were suspended.-- For 1865 the strength of the Army was a2.310; in 1866,66,815; in 1868, 51.090; In 1869,86,774; in 1870,37,075, and from this period to 1877 it varied, between 36,000 to 29,000. For 1877 !t wfts» 94,- 000 and in 1878, 35,818. m* A fearful disease, supposed by many to be the scourage known in the fourteenth century as the "Black Death," or the Plague, has broken out in the northern province of Russia, and unless accounts are greatly exaggera­ ted, Is fast spreading death and deso­ lation in its progress. The epidemic flrst appeared in the Cossack village of Tetlyaa Stanltsa, brought thither as is aaid by two regiments from the war in Asia Minor. At Urst the disease was wtppoeed to be typhus, and an amy eurgeon was sent to investigate the matter, His report that no typhus ex­ isted, and that indeed nothing farther than ague was to be found, was follow­ ed in a lew days by intelligence of the Most frightful mortality, 15 or 30 per­ sons dying in a day from a population •f only MO iu the village. The appear* aaee of this terrible scourage, if such "hfimnits/be. is wisely attracting the attention of the different Govern­ ment*, and the most strenous means am apparently being employed to pre vent its spread. With what success these efforts will be attended, remains for the future to make known. Rumors amert that the plague had broken out ia Moscow, but it Is to be hoped reports may fill of authenticity. JGTln manufacturing instruments •f precision and tools of delicate uses only the very best material Is used; and nowadays no one ever thinks of making a silk purse out of a sow's ear > or a whistle out of a pigs tall. The custom has become obsolete. But ac­ cording to the Bev.Dr. Bartlett, of Dartmouth College, the poorest, eom monest, trashiest kind of timber is •enaslonaliy made into a minister of the Gospel, and launched upon the world to evangelise the people there- of. He says the cause of religion is becoming deeply concerned in the question of ministerial standing, that it has become possible for reckless clerical adventurers to range from place to place, corrupting and haras­ sing the flock, and cites many cases In illustration. A student expelled from a Western theological seminary for Vulgarity, Obscenity and falsehood went directly to. New England, was ordained, and assumed the charge of a flourish!ngt< Gfeuroh. A dissolute young person In New England was axpelled from the ministry, but with in a year was made the pastor of a Cliurcb in a distant State. An En­ glishman came over with forged ore dentins' and swamped a Vermont Church that employed him, but as Often as exposed he found new pulpits fill and flocks to prey upon. A Mich­ igan preacher fled from the State to . escape a criminal prosecution, and was Immediately engaged by a Minnesota Church where his innate "cussedness*' Soon got him Into trouble. A New Bngland Church in a large city en- ' gaged a pastor whose private life was _ eo bad that the Council refused to |: **pass" him. Additional oases will sug- iv . gest themselves to every one. The * remedy is in the bands of the Churches v, , tiiemselves. The character of clerical Candidates should be closely scrutinized „ AH brash and unsound timber, or tlrn- 1 v%er tainted with a suspicion of un- , soundness, should be rejected. What | J frill answer very Wfll to make a poli- r fician or a lightning-rod peddler of 'inay be lacking in grace for tho holy *t (fluties of the ministry. So intimates fy ^ Jtev. Dr. Bartlett, and his reasoning ms to be correct. • -;if. Tlte Celebrate* Violinist, * Prof. A.

Some of our rail­ roads are doing an unprecedented bus­ iness, not a few of them being choked to repletion with traffic. The annual report of the Illinois Central Railroad shows that its business for 1678 was the most profitable in its history, and its net receipts equivalent to a 9 per cent, dividend. New England woolen and cotton mills are paying larger divi­ dends than for some time past, on the average 6 per cent. Trade witli com­ paratively new regions Is springing np. Australia Is sending us her flne wool, and we are shipping to her our manu­ factures. The wool of that country is the finest In the \Vorld. We are foan however, likely to become a wool ex­ porting country. Many Scotchmen and Australians hsve settled in Texas and entered into the rearing of Sheep, and introduced some of the finest breeds. Texas has abont 4,000.000 sheep. Large as is the number, it en­ titles her only to rank as thfe third wool producing State in the Union.-- With 80,000,000 acres of land still unlo- cated.
