A Germán newspaper, the Elbcrclder Zeittwig, which Ís oítentho medium oi official informaüon, reporta that Llie Germán Govermnenc has in view an extraurdinary schenie for tlie paeifieation of the people'of Hamburg, and also íor tlie creation oí' a rival to London. The oíd free city and republie is to be consoled íor the loss oí' its ancient independence by being incorporated into the Pruasian fcingdom and elevatwl to tlie rank oí' the seeemd capital and royal rosideace of the Gemían Empire. This project, it ís believed, would be mutually acceptfvble and advantageous to the Empire and the city. A great nation should have. if possible, an important port for its capital, and Hamburg, with its worldwide comrneree, healthy situation, unlimited space for extensión, and enormous wealth, would probably welcomethedignity of beeoming a royal residence. Tlie site for the future palace is already provided in the Holy Ghost Field. In an age in which royal personages are peculiarly exposed to revolutionary búllete and dynajnite, it is regarded as an adcííiional recommendation that the populous and well-to-do city has next to no proletariat. During the trip to Long Branch Superintendent Ely entered the President's 2ar and told the surgeous that they ïad gone the last se ven miles in live minutes. Some one asked the üent it He tbought they were going too f ast, and he ansvvered: "Oh, no; let her go!"

The Russian military budget rose from 181,000,000 roubles in 1879 to 189,000,000 roubles in 1880 and has risen for 1881 to 200,000,000 roubles. The iinaneial condition of the country ïas warned the government to use all Dossible care in the military adminis;iation, aad, as a íirst step, the Minister of War has recommended the fot mation of four great territorial armies, combined from the ten military dis■ricts of iit.

Many hundred officials of the Commissariat have dlready been dismissed, and it is said hat other important changes will soon 'ollow, all directed to the same end .he reduction of expenses. The tolling of church beils in Westfield. Mass., for a lost 6-year old boy about 10:30 oae night startled all ïearers into thinking President Garield was dead and drew many out into .he streets.

There is an ntimation in the dispatches that the 1 -esent available cash balance, which, fter deducting the ealled 5 per cent. )onds, is 35 per cent. of the outstanding legal tendéis, is regarded by the seorátary "as a sutlicient reserve, and tüat lie will use the surplus, in exeess of that ainount, for reducing tlie int -.rest-bearing debt." The military authorities of France havefinaüy deeided to abolisli Uiat liistoric branch of the army, the corps of cuirassiers. The Cavalry Comnnttee prótesis that it "does not intend to cast any slur upon the services rendered in former wars by this branch of the service, nor the traditions of devotion and discipline which it has always been known to maintain; but it must consider the exigencies of modern warfare, in which heavy armed cavalry of this kind can only render secondary services, on account of the rarity of occasions when tliey can be utilized." Accorclinglj it is recommended that the twelve regiments shall be gradu:iilv transformed into mounted catabineers, equipped and armed like dragoons, but mounted on horses such as are noiv ridden by the cuirassiers. These troops, which seem now about to disappear from the army, were first organized in 1SG6. Tliey had existed since the time of Louis IX., but had ne.ver assumed the special name of cuirassiers till the reign of Louis XIV. This ame was abolished it the time of the Revolution, but restored in 1802. They longeaioyed in Frauce a proverbial reputaflon for courage, which they fully maintained at the battlo of Waterloo, wlien their repeateJ charges, though iueffectual, were acknowledged by the J)uke of Wellington to have been the finest tliing he remembered in all his military experieuce. By order of the Sultan and in aceordance with the request of tlie Sheik-ulIslamthe Miuistry of Pólice have prornulgated a code of rules for the dress and doportraent of Moslem ladies in Constantinople. They may wear the "tcharshaf," a narrow veil, ia unfrequented streets and whenpaying visits, but in public places and crowded streets they must not appear without a more secure protection for the face. ïlie polica have strict orders to report any infringment of this reguhtion to the Minister of l'olice, with the name of the offender. Mussulnian ladies are also forbidden to drive or walk round the places of Bayazid, Shahzade-Bashi, and Akserai. Nor will they in future be allowed to promenade in the Great Bazar, or to sit down in shops. If thüse rules are iufringed the drivers of the carriages they have used and the ladies tliemselvea will be proceeded against under Article 254 of the Penal Code. The pólice have also received orders on no account to perniit ladies to gather together in groups in public places; and ladies thus transgressing will be directed to "move on." AVlu'ii a pólice ofticer flnds it necessary te iuterfere in this way he is to address the oldest lady in the group, or the servants in attendance, at lis discretion. The regulations further prescribe the demeauor to be observed by men toward ladies in public.

Crittenden was out in the woods picking up a precarious livelihood going through railroad trains, wo would like to wager about $7 to a nickel that in less than a week nis most excellent Excellency would be either killed or in custody. - 8t. Lmids Eost-Dispatoh, The Governor of New-Mexico and the acting Governor of Arizona have applied to the War Department to furnish arms for the white settlers in the districts where Indian disturbances are threatened. It is remarkabie that there should be so much ignorance displayed by the offlcers of States and Territories concerning their duty and the duty of the War Department in such cases as this. If deemed necessary for seli-protection, the settlers are entitledto arms to be furnished them by the State or Territory, the authorities of which may draw from 'the War Department the quota to which said State or Territory is entitled by law. Not until this has been dó"ne can the Federal Government have any power whatever to ann or organiza any volnntary soldiery, although. in extreme cases, military comnanders have accepted the services of irregular volunteers who have furnished their own arms and rations. Yet whenever a panic seizes the population of the frontiers, there is an outcry for a Government armament; and, as in ;he cas." of the recent Ute disturbances n Oolorado, there is much criticism of -be Government, if everybody is not equipped for active service under local volunteer generalship. The correspondence which embodied Collector Merritt's final report, shows that during his term of office he reeeived the enoruious sum of $397,385,772.78, while the total expenses of all ;he departments in connection with the collection of customs at the port during that term were 17,354,460.92. Every dollar of these amountshas been satisiaetorily accounted for. The nerchants of New York (says the Tribune) know how well the adminis,ration of Collector Merritt bears comjarison for efficiency, economy and devotion to public interests with the best of its predecessors. The oew musical department in the University of Michigan seems to be a success, over ninety students having eleeted to take instructioa tbierein. A course in counter point will probably be added next year. The supreme Court of Minnesota lias cleared the way for an honest settlement of the repudi ited debt of that State, as it declares the constitutional ainendinent, by which the repudiation was accumplished, nuil and void, and places the responaibility of the settlement entirely with the Legialature, holding that that body can appropriate nionoy for the payment of the repudiated bonds at its pleasure, without submitting the question to a vote of the people. It is to be hoped, now that the legal obstacles are brushed aside, that Minnesota will clear her record. There does not seem to be any good reason as yet to fear a general Apache outbreak in Arizona, but there is evidently considerable excitement and more or less hostile feelings in all the many and widely scattered branches of that powerful tribe. Murders of white men, on the road3 or at insolated ranches, are frequent, and a feeling of insecurity prevails in all the settlements. That the force of troops stationed in the Territory is altogether inadequate to deal with a serious Ihdiau ciñieulty become more and more apparent. Auiong the changes going on at the South the most noteworthy is the deinand for skilled mechanics and engiuee.rs growing out of the development of manuf'acturing industries. The New Ürleans Picayune, noting the great reward given to this class of vvurkers, urges Southern gentlemen to have their sons educated in mechanics and practically taught the handling of tools, instead of training them to the professions, as is the bld-time Southern custom. A case of remarkabie coolness and i-uiuMug on the part of a fugitive murlerer occurred a few days ago in Kentucky. Brashear, the murderer, being pursued by three mounted and anned "vigilantes," took his grip saek in Uaud and lied to an adjoining county, where he was not known, and obtained work and board of a Mr. Dennis, who never, of course. susnected his identitv. That same evening up galloped the three vigilance men, one hearing a formidable looking army musket, the second a double-barrelled shot gun.and the thixd a braee oí monstrous navy revolvers buekled about his waist. When Dennis and Brashear carne tothe fence in response to their cali, they toldthem who they were, and the cause of their warlike appearance. They even went so far as to conflde to them how they intended to capture their man. ïhen up spoke Brashear and gave a pretty fair description of himself, and asked if that was the man they were after. The very man himself, they assured him. Then the unabashed fugitive assured them that they were not more than an hour behind the villain, for he luid seen him pass along the road, goIng in the direction of Ilawesville, After thanking lnm for the information, they galloped on after the mythical Brashear, while the genuine article, vvhen they had gone beyond recall, pickod up his grip-sack, coolly informeel Mr. Dennis that he was the veritable Brashear they were after, thanked him for his hospitality, bade him goodby and good luck, and vanished in the darkness. It is needless to add that the trio of avengers have not yet secored the object of their search. A correspondent writing from Ariz na saya that the Mornion settlers are responsible for much of the demoralization of the Apache 1 uciians, and that they have instigated agreat deal of the deviltry committed by them. If this be true, it would be well for the government to chasten the Mormons and let tile Indians alone. The llussian government has periCcled a schenie for locating 40.000 iamilios 111 the Amoor county on the Pacific coasts. The land is rich, the climate pleasant, and such inducements will be offered as will take colonists in swanns to the locality. The Russian theory is that a strong colony of ltussians in that district will be the best protection against any movement China may make to reconquer the riek Talley.
