She had applied for a certificate, and during the examination was caught glancing over the shoulder of another applicant ami getting answers to ques- tions propounded in -- arithmetic. The Superintendent refused to issue the cer- tificate, and the young lady brought suit in the Circuit Court to compel him to do so. She carried her point in the lower court, but the decision has been reversed by the Supreme Court. According to statistics compiled by the Bureau of Education there were in the United States, in 1877, 14,227,748 school population and 2,089,311 school population between the ages of 6 and 16 years.

' ' ' ' General Sherman' Annual Report tt - - the Operations of the Army. .. 'WasHiKOTOK, November 3. General Sherman's annual report to the Secretary of War was completed y. It Li prefaced with the usual tabular statements and returns com- piled' by the .Adjutant-Genera- l, com- menting: on which General Sherman SSTS"" "The eleven Generals. 1.S39 offleera. SO.cM men an2J3 Indian acouts, tojretherwith much officers of th stHtT us re assigned l.j-t- War l)epartmufto duty wit httie troops, oonstitute the armv pmper, or the combative force.' All other parts of the military estiibliihnnait are provided hy law for special serrico mora or less connected with the armyor militia, but are not .available for Imntier defenses. Thus, for Instance, the 3UT enlisted men of the Ordnance Corp are in fact workmen at arsenals: the tt men of the Engineer Corps are at WUlet'a Point underpin instruction in torpedo practice, and nre not subject to the Division Commander. The ioS men of the Sig- nal Corps axe employeUln observing the weath- er or In working teleRraphs. The 114 Ordnance Serjeants have charge of ld forts or ' fixed magazines. The 151 Commissary (sergeants are in charge of stores; ls7 men are Stewards of hospitals. The West Point detachment, 1S8 in number, is localized at the Military Academy. The prison guard at Fort Leavenworth comprises seventy men, and recruiting detachments absorb l,io7 men at Daris lalnnd, Columbus, O., and Jeffersoa Barracks, Mo. These various detachments, aggregating. 3.4C3 enlisted men cf tbe highest grades, compose about one-sixt- h part of the enlisted men provided bylaw for the whole army, leaving but aj.T'JU for actual service. " I mention these figures In somo detail, be- cause I know that it is the popular belief, shared by many members of Congress, that we have ,0UO men ou duty. I have done all in my power to reduce these detachments to-th- lowest number, possible, bo as to atford more men to our skeleton companies, but have found it impossible, and I notice that Bimilur detachments are reported on all army returns for fifty, years back. There are 40 companies in the regular army; 5,000 men would give fifty-eig-ht to each, which is as sninll as any . company should be, and I earnestly recommend that you ask Congress to so legislate thiit the 25,000 men provided by law mar bo allowed exclusively for regiments of the Hne, and that special pro- vision be made for these several detachments, as mis already been done for the Signal Serv- ice. The army cannot, with Justice, be held responsible for the work of 25,oiiO, when so large a fraction is necessarily diverted to other uses, perhaps of eiu:il National importance." The tables above referred to show that the grand aggregate of the army roll is 2,W of- ficers and 24,2b2 men iu service, and SS officers retired. General Sherman devotes a large portion of his report to the Ute troubles. He introduces the subject with a history of the tribe. These Indians, he says, are of the worst class, anil oc- cupy t he roughest part of our country for farm- ing, grazing, or military operations. Their man- agement is complicated by tbe fact that their country is knowu to possess minerul deposits, which attracts a bold and adventurous class of white men. They are very warlike, and have no difficulty in procuring in exchange for their Yur-bkhi- s, horses and sheep any amount of fieliest rides and ammunition. As long as the game lasts they will not work or attempt 1. inning, except in the smallest and most n hcuious way, and that only by compulsion. 1 Be report details at some length the history of the n events leading up to tho ni 'vement by Major Thornburgh's command, ui.d continues: ... "With a knowledge of the result, and to throw as much light on the immediate cause of this war as possible, I give the lust fetters w. ieh ptisseu between Major Tuornburgh and M ". Meeker, and I will here record my Judg- ment Hi at Major Thomburgh was an odiccr mi-- gentleman of whom the army has reason to be proud. He was young, ardent, ambi tious, ot g Hi.l ju.lment, ami no man could h:ivo d ine bettor in life nor met duth with more heroism. THORirntXROH TO HECKEIt. "'IIeadq'us White Riveh Expedition, i CAMP OS i O RTI FlC ATION CRKEK, V September 2V, b.$. 'Mr. Meeker, Indian Agent, White River Agency. "Sir:-- In obedience to instructions from the General of the Army, I am twrout to your Agency, aud expect to arrive on the SJta lnst.. for th) purpose of allordinjf you any assist- ance in my power, and to make arrests at your suggestion, and to bold as prisonera such of your Indians aa you desiro until Investigations are made by your .Department. J- nave heard nothing uenuite iroin your Agenry for ten days, and d. not know what state of affairs exists, whether tho Indians will leave at my approach or show, hostilities. I semi this letter by Mr. Lowry, one of my guides, and desire you to communicate with rie as soon as possible, giving me all the infor- mation in your power, in order that I may know what course I am to pursue. If practi- cable, meet me on tbe road at the earliest mo- - Dlent. . "'Very respectfully, vonrobedient servart, -- T. T. TnonsBi'MGH." " AU the world now knows that Special-Age- General Charles Adamj, of Colorado, appoint- ed by the Secretary rf the Interior to conduct these negotiations with tUe hostile Utcs, baa partially succeeded in bis mission, hns ob- tained tfce surrender of lrs,uud Miss Meek- er, Mrs. Price and two children, who are al- ready sale with their friends. He is now sup- posed to be hgainwith the host iles on Grand KiTur, endeavoring to effect tbe other condi- tions required of the TJtes by the honorable Secretary of tho Interior, who is primarily re- sponsible for the entire management of the caso. I certainly applaud tbe courage and en- ergy thus far displayed by General Adams, and hope be will fully and completely succeed in bis praiseworthy mission, and yet I believe that prudence demands that the military prep, aratiens and precautions shall not slacken. Thus far we have lost eleven citizens, two oiB-ce- rs and twelvo soldiers killed, and forty-on- e wounded. The Indians admit a loss of thirty-nin- e warriors killed, so thr.t they have not much reason to boast."- The report next treats of the Apache raid, and states that troops are in pursuit, but noth- ing definite can be given as yet. The Apaches, the General says, only resort to the Agency to rest, recuperate and make ready for the next war. He infers that as soon as winter comes thoy will ret urn to their agencies and be good. Goneral Sherman refers at some length to last summer's incursions of Indians from Sit- ting Hull's camp, and kindredsuhjects, and re- marks that some more permanent security must be found thnn results from t be good will of our neighbors. Hetherefore recommends that Congress bo asked to appropriate f lOn.OOD to oomplete Fort Assinilx.ine, and fUO.UUO to build a new post near Wood Mountain, and says: "In this connection I also beg to sub- mit my conviction that very soon the progresa of events will make it alwolutely necessary to move all tbe Indians now located on tbe Up- per Missouri viz.: The Ariekarees, Gnu Ventres, Piegans, Bloods and Crows, to the Bioux reservation lielow Cannon Bidl Creek, and to open to actual settlers ail tbe land in the region north and west of that reserva- tion." General Shermnn reports a highly satisfac- tory condition of affairs in the Department of Texas, especially along tbe Rio Grande fron- tier. The large immigration which has pour- ed into Texas having now extended to what were formerly her waste lands, the removal of some of the frontier posts further west is neces- sary, and General Sherman therefore indorses the recommendation made to hira by General Ord for Congressional appropriations to con- struct military posta on tbe new western frontier. Referring to the troubles caused during the Fast year by tho attempted emigration to tho Territory from the southern bonier of Kansas, General Sherman says: "The delicate duty imposed on tbe military was admirably performed by the troops under tbe order of General Pope. The opinion is expressed that at least thirty superfluous military posts might be sold to great advantage." The report in conclusion treats of the sub- ject of military education, and after referring to the artillery school at Fortress Monroe and academy at West Point, snys: "Similar schools should lie established and main- tained for cavalry and infantry; These have repeatedly been attempted at Forts Leavenworth and Snelllng, but no sooner have they been begun than some Indian outbreak has imperatively called away the troops, so that at this time we bave nothing of the kind. But the day must eome when schools for Infantry and cavalry will be established in tbe nature of a p.t-grnduii- te course, and if possible for instruction in the use of the ritle and h rse, before y ou r officers and recruits are pushed into battle aud danger."

Somestimos, my son, you will want to whistle. Do not entirery repress this desire to aspirate your feelings in sibbi-la- nt strains of Wheezy mu-ii- ? ; merely modulate and regulate it. (k off into-th- e woods five or six miles from any habitation, if the desire comes upon you dnrinjr business hours, and whittle there until the birds make you ashamed of your poor accomplishment. Io not yield to the temptation Ux readily, lest you become addicted to the habit and become a slave to it, and pro whistling around even as a man who ha lost a dor. There are men, my son, who can whistle musically ; once in awhile you find men whose whistle is pleasant to the ear and soothing to the soul, but you only find one of thesnien every three or four thousand years, and they die young, son; they die Tcrj pinna.- - "You will observe that the best whistler is he who whistles least, and practices in soli- tude. The poor whistler, who flats on the high notes and gasps on. the lovver ones, and wheezes in the middle regis- ter, is the man who whistles at all times and in ..all places. Whistle all you will in solitary places,, son, if it pleases ' you, whittle in the night as you go home, if you will, for a cheery whistle . in' the. dark is a pleasant sound unto the listening soul of the belated passenger, but when you come into the assemblages and the busi- ness haunts of men, un packer your mu- sical lips and shut up. ,your whistle in your heart. And if ever the temptation comes, to you to whistl? against thti edge of a card, crush it out, of the effort kills you. 'Whistling Ls not a lofty nor vet a useful, although it is a univer-af- , ac- complishment. Though you practice a hundred years, and though you whistle never so whistley, my son, yet the com- -t monest switch-engin- e that ever seared a human being deaf, can beat you- at it. The great and good were never great whistlers, son . George .ATahington never sat in a friend's office, with his feet on the. window sill, . ivhistling " Grandfather's Clock" against the edge of a card. Strive to emulate (k-org- Washington, and although you may nev- er be first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of your .countrymen, yet fame will hot forget you if t her van 4write upon your tombstone that vou never whistled your countrymen into convulsions of intemperate but fruitless profanity. Burdette, in the Hivckeye. When Bismarck made his first visit on a diplomatic mission to ' Vienna, in 18o2, there was not so much attention paid to him as on his recent abearance in that city. A Vienna journal recalls that he was then wholly unknown to the worlil. nml nnlv nl:iin TTerr von Hi- - marck Schoenhausen, his present rank bein a late acquisition, and that his royal master, the King of Prussia, to ' secure consideration for hun, deemed it necessary to address a special letter to Kaiser I'ranz Joseph, saying: , J con- fide the honorable mission to'yotir Ma- jesty to my representative in the Ger- man Federal Parliament, Ilerr von Bis- - . marek Schoenhausen, wnose family, one of the oldest, has almost a Jonger pedi- gree than mine, and' whose ancestors rivaled the Ilohcnzollerns in bra'vtr and military exploits." This letter .sufficed to put the obscure diplomat on a friend- ly footing with the haughty Austrian aristocracy. the new Central Statior, in Berlin, Germany, a colossal hotel ia building. It is to contain numerous and large suites of apartments, besides 5(iO single bedrooms, a theater, two chapels, and a synagogue. x Statues of celebrated travelers are to be found-in- , the' courtyards, and a large garden, with hothouses, will be connected with ' ' the building. - - THE MARKETS. 3CEW TORK. .November 10.

General Sherman' Annual Report tt- - the Operations of the Army.

General Sherman's annual report tothe Secretary of War was completed

piled' by the .Adjutant-Genera- l, com-menting: on which General ShermanSSTS""

"The eleven Generals. 1.S39 offleera. SO.cMmen an2J3 Indian acouts, tojretherwith muchofficers of th stHtT us re assigned l.j-t- Warl)epartmufto duty wit httie troops, oonstitutethe armv pmper, or the combative force.'All other parts of the military estiibliihnnaitare provided hy law for special serrico moraor less connected with the armyor militia, butare not .available for Imntier defenses.Thus, for Instance, the 3UT enlisted menof the Ordnance Corp are in fact workmen atarsenals: the tt men of the Engineer Corpsare at WUlet'a Point underpin instructionin torpedo practice, and nre not subject to theDivision Commander. The ioS men of the Sig-nal Corps axe employeUln observing the weath-er or In working teleRraphs. The 114 OrdnanceSerjeants have charge of ld forts or

'fixed magazines. The 151 Commissary(sergeants are in charge of stores; ls7 menare Stewards of hospitals. The WestPoint detachment, 1S8 in number, is localizedat the Military Academy. The prison guardat Fort Leavenworth comprises seventy men,and recruiting detachments absorb l,io7 menat Daris lalnnd, Columbus, O., and JeffersoaBarracks, Mo. These various detachments,aggregating. 3.4C3 enlisted men cf tbe highestgrades, compose about one-sixt- h part of theenlisted men provided bylaw for the wholearmy, leaving but aj.T'JU for actual service.

" I mention these figures In somo detail, be-cause I know that it is the popular belief,shared by many members of Congress, thatwe have ,0UO men ou duty. I have done allin my power to reduce these detachments to-th-

lowest number, possible, bo as to atfordmore men to our skeleton companies, buthave found it impossible, and I notice thatBimilur detachments are reported on all armyreturns for fifty, years back. There are40 companies in the regular army;

5,000 men would give fifty-eig-ht to each,which is as sninll as any . company shouldbe, and I earnestly recommend that you askCongress to so legislate thiit the 25,000 menprovided by law mar bo allowed exclusivelyfor regiments of the Hne, and that special pro-vision be made for these several detachments,as mis already been done for the Signal Serv-ice. The army cannot, with Justice, be heldresponsible for the work of 25,oiiO, when solarge a fraction is necessarily diverted to otheruses, perhaps of eiu:il National importance."

The tables above referred to show that thegrand aggregate of the army roll is 2,W of-ficers and 24,2b2 men iu service, and SS officersretired.

General Sherman devotes a large portion ofhis report to the Ute troubles. He introducesthe subject with a history of the tribe. TheseIndians, he says, are of the worst class, anil oc-

cupy t he roughest part of our country for farm-ing, grazing, or military operations. Their man-agement is complicated by tbe fact that theircountry is knowu to possess minerul deposits,which attracts a bold and adventurous class ofwhite men. They are very warlike, and haveno difficulty in procuring in exchange for their

Isemi this letter by Mr. Lowry, one of myguides, and desire you to communicate withrie as soon as possible, giving me all the infor-mation in your power, in order that I mayknow what course I am to pursue. If practi-cable, meet me on tbe road at the earliest mo--Dlent. .

"'Very respectfully, vonrobedient servart,-- T. T. TnonsBi'MGH."

" AU the world now knows that Special-Age-

General Charles Adamj, of Colorado, appoint-ed by the Secretary rf the Interior to conductthese negotiations with tUe hostile Utcs, baapartially succeeded in bis mission, hns ob-tained tfce surrender of lrs,uud Miss Meek-er, Mrs. Price and two children, who are al-ready sale with their friends. He is now sup-posed to be hgainwith the host iles on GrandKiTur, endeavoring to effect tbe other condi-tions required of the TJtes by the honorableSecretary of tho Interior, who is primarily re-sponsible for the entire management of thecaso. I certainly applaud tbe courage and en-ergy thus far displayed by General Adams,and hope be will fully and completely succeedin bis praiseworthy mission, and yet I believethat prudence demands that the military prep,aratiens and precautions shall not slacken.Thus far we have lost eleven citizens, two oiB-ce- rs

and twelvo soldiers killed, and forty-on- e

wounded. The Indians admit a loss of thirty-nin- ewarriors killed, so thr.t they have not

much reason to boast."-The report next treats of the Apache raid,

and states that troops are in pursuit, but noth-ing definite can be given as yet. The Apaches,the General says, only resort to the Agency torest, recuperate and make ready for the nextwar. He infers that as soon as winter comesthoy will ret urn to their agencies and be good.

Goneral Sherman refers at some length tolast summer's incursions of Indians from Sit-ting Hull's camp, and kindredsuhjects, and re-marks that some more permanent securitymust be found thnn results from t be good will ofour neighbors. Hetherefore recommends thatCongress bo asked to appropriate f lOn.OOD tooomplete Fort Assinilx.ine, and fUO.UUO tobuild a new post near Wood Mountain, andsays: "In this connection I also beg to sub-mit my conviction that very soon the progresaof events will make it alwolutely necessary tomove all tbe Indians now located on tbe Up-per Missouri viz.: The Ariekarees, GnuVentres, Piegans, Bloods and Crows, to theBioux reservation lielow Cannon Bidl Creek,and to open to actual settlers ail tbe land inthe region north and west of that reserva-tion."

General Shermnn reports a highly satisfac-tory condition of affairs in the Department ofTexas, especially along tbe Rio Grande fron-tier. The large immigration which has pour-ed into Texas having now extended to whatwere formerly her waste lands, the removal ofsome of the frontier posts further west is neces-sary, and General Sherman therefore indorsesthe recommendation made to hira by GeneralOrd for Congressional appropriations to con-struct military posta on tbe new westernfrontier.

Referring to the troubles caused during theFast year by tho attempted emigration to tho

Territory from the southern bonier ofKansas, General Sherman says: "The delicateduty imposed on tbe military was admirablyperformed by the troops under tbe order ofGeneral Pope. The opinion is expressed thatat least thirty superfluous military posts mightbe sold to great advantage."

The report in conclusion treats of the sub-ject of military education, and after referringto the artillery school at Fortress Monroe andacademy at West Point, snys: "Similarschools should lie established and main-tained for cavalry and infantry; Thesehave repeatedly been attempted at FortsLeavenworth and Snelllng, but no soonerhave they been begun than some Indianoutbreak has imperatively called away thetroops, so that at this time we bave nothing ofthe kind. But the day must eome when schoolsfor Infantry and cavalry will be established intbe nature of a p.t-grnduii- te course, and ifpossible for instruction in the use of the ritleand h rse, before you r officers and recruits arepushed into battle aud danger."

Advice to A Whistler.

Somestimos, my son, you will want towhistle. Do not entirery repress thisdesire to aspirate your feelings in sibbi-la- nt

strains of Wheezy mu-ii- ? ; merelymodulate and regulate it. (k off into-th- e

woods five or six miles from anyhabitation, if the desire comes upon youdnrinjr business hours, and whittle thereuntil the birds make you ashamed ofyour poor accomplishment. Io notyield to the temptation Ux readily, lestyou become addicted to the habit andbecome a slave to it, and pro whistlingaround even as a man who ha lost ador. There are men, my son, who canwhistle musically ; once in awhile youfind men whose whistle is pleasant tothe ear and soothing to the soul, but youonly find one of thesnien every threeor four thousand years, and they dieyoung, son; they die Tcrj pinna.- - "Youwill observe that the best whistler is hewho whistles least, and practices in soli-

tude. The poor whistler, who flats onthe high notes and gasps on. the lovverones, and wheezes in the middle regis-ter, is the man who whistles at alltimes and in ..all places. Whistleall you will in solitary places,,son, if it pleases ' you, whittle inthe night as you go home, if you will,for a cheery whistle . in' the. dark is apleasant sound unto the listening soul ofthe belated passenger, but when youcome into the assemblages and the busi-ness haunts of men, un packer your mu-sical lips and shut up. ,your whistle inyour heart. And if ever the temptationcomes, to you to whistl? against thti edgeof a card, crush it out, of the effort killsyou. 'Whistling Ls not a lofty nor vet auseful, although it is a univer-af- , ac-

complishment. Though you practice ahundred years, and though you whistlenever so whistley, my son, yet the com- -t

monest switch-engin- e that ever seared ahuman being deaf, can beat you- at it.The great and good were never greatwhistlers, son . George .ATahingtonnever sat in a friend's office, with hisfeet on the. window sill, . ivhistling" Grandfather's Clock" against the edgeof a card. Strive to emulate (k-org-

Washington, and although you may nev-

er be first in war, first in peace, and firstin the hearts of your .countrymen, yetfame will hot forget you if t her van

4write upon your tombstone that vounever whistled your countrymen intoconvulsions of intemperate but fruitlessprofanity. Burdette, in the Hivckeye.

When Bismarck made his first visiton a diplomatic mission to ' Vienna, in18o2, there was not so much attentionpaid to him as on his recent abearancein that city. A Vienna journal recallsthat he was then wholly unknown to theworlil. nml nnlv nl:iin TTerr von Hi- -marck Schoenhausen, his present rankbein a late acquisition, and that hisroyal master, the King of Prussia, to '

secure consideration for hun, deemed itnecessary to address a special letter toKaiser I'ranz Joseph, saying: , J con-

fide the honorable mission to'yotir Ma-

jesty to my representative in the Ger-man Federal Parliament, Ilerr von Bis-- .

marek Schoenhausen, wnose family, oneof the oldest, has almost a Jonger pedi-gree than mine, and' whose ancestorsrivaled the Ilohcnzollerns in bra'vtr andmilitary exploits." This letter .sufficedto put the obscure diplomat on a friend-ly footing with the haughty Austrianaristocracy.
