Needless to say this maintenance of a
swollen military force, ceaseless vigi
lance, and untiring energy of prep
aration must be paid for, and
roundly. With the exercise of the
most rigid economy, short of weak
ening her equipment, Germany lays out
about $160,000,000 annually for military ex
penditure on the army and navy con
siderably over one-third her entire rev
enue. France, a much richer country, but
burdened with the highest load of debt
ever known, pays 51S0.O0O.O09: and Italy,
already crushed under the weight of her
public obligations, pays $S0,000,000; Austria-Hungary
about the same. Great Brit
ain, with larger resources than any of the
others, and relatively isolated from ter
ritorial contact, but whose necessity for
maintaining her hold on India and the
command of the sea for the protection of
her commerce, which is more than7 half
the tonnt-ge "of the world, compels "Iter to
rival the others In military readiness, ex
pends annually J160.000.000 on her army
and navy about one-third her gross rev
enue. It should be noted, however, that Great
Britain has not adopted the plan of uni
versal and 'enforced service, nor, in view
of her special requirements, is the organ
ization the same. The English regi
ments are maintained by voluntary en
listments, and the English army is prac
tically the training school and recruiting
depot for the British army in India, to
which annual drafts are sent, and where
77,000 men are maintained in active serv
ice, in addition to native contingents
numbering 140,000.
To the actual outlay of money by the Eu
ropean states should be added the inci
dental cost of the withdrawal from profit
able occupation and the maintenance in
economic idleness of these huge armies of
200.000 to 1,030.000 men at the period of their
greatest activity and productive power;
and as a man in full vigor of mind and
body can hardly be worth less than doublq
the actual cost of supporting him. It will
be seen that the annual expenditure may
be multiplied by three to reach a total
representing the ultimate cost of the mil
itary conditions existing in Europe. As a
partial offset to this, however, may be set
down the influence of this armed strength
in the maintenance of Internal order and
the repression of turbulent elements,
which, it permitted to make head, would
disturb the peace, and might even threaten
the stability of the state. It Is possible
that in some cases at least consideration
of tliis kind, conjoined with the general
apprehension of hostile designs on the
part of their neighbors, may account for
the seeming willingness of the several
peoples, through their national legisla
tures, to endure the continuance of large
expenditure for military purposes.
The military strength of the Uuiled
States, as represented by its armed force,
is in marked contrast with those of the nfip
tions of Europe. With an area exceeding
all of them combined, and a civilised
population greater than any. contained
within its frontiers; without Isolated pos
sessions needing defense, or the policy
that would acquire them; creating no en
mities, cultivating- relations of friendli
ness with its neighbors on the north and
south: with a wealth of resource and mil
itary aptitude making it too formidable to
be attacked the situation is one entirely
fciiggestive of peace, and the rapidly-increasing
population is left free to devote
itself to industrial and commercial pur
suits, with neither necessity nor justifica
tion for the maintenance of an exagger
ated armament. By act of congress, the
enlisted force of the regular army is limit
ed to 25,000, and the general organization
is substantially as indicated in the fol
lowing table:

bers about 112,000, only a little over one
per cent, and not only does the militia, of
the several states vary in numbers ac
cording ta population and other consid
erations, but in still greater degree in the
training and eadency of its individual or
ganizations, from a standard of discipline
and drill that approximates to that of reg
ular troops to the veriest travesty of an
armed force.
The policy of the Federal government
has been to aid the development of the
militia both by annual appropriations of
$400,000 for the procurement of arms and
munitions, and by furthering a greater
degree of association between the regular
and state forces. A further service, pos-

said and done a man cannot be trained to
be a soldier save in the school pf actual

habit of years are necessary for the man
to absorb that single idea of devotion to
duty and to duty alone to the disregard
and sacrifice, if need be, of every other
consideration that constitutes the funda
mental characteristic of the soldier, and
differentiates him from the armed citizen.
LAST GREAT SLAVE SALE
Interesting: Reminiscence of
the
xT
Dny Before the "War
L
. Philadelphia Press.
The dtath of a gentleman in this city
three weeks ago has recalled the last great
Elave auction in the South in 1S59. This
gentleman was the clerk of the sale, and
he wrote as a memento an elaborate a.nJ
circumstantial account of the two days'
proceedings, and this he did secretly, so
Intense was the desire of the managers
to prevent any reports getting to the
papers or to the North.
The sale was- held at the racetrack, near
Savannah, and the negroes were the prop
erty of Pierce Butler, of Philadelphia.
His family name was Mease, but, Inh writ
ing a fortune in land and slaves from his
grandfather. Major Pierce Butler, of
South Carolina, he changed his name.
He very generously shared the fortune
with his brother John, who, after serving
In the Mexican war, died about 1850. Mr.
Butler was an inveterate and most un
lucky card-player, and spent much of his
time in Joe Hall's rooms, Eighth street,
above Sansom, then the most fashionable
and exclusive card saloon in the city.
Hall was, despite his profession, much re
spected and I ked. He died a few years
ago a poor Methodist minister, on the
Eastern shore.
It was in Hall's place that Mr. Butler
made the losses which forced him to sell'
his slaves. It Is said that on one occa
sion he held four deuces and proceeded
to bet in a fashion that led Hall to re
monstrate, but Butler laughed at him.
With 526.000 up the game was called, and
Hall held four kings.
Butler inherited the beautiful mansion,
now the site of the Sharpless building,
Eighth and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia,
and this he was forced to sell, and in 1S50
his creditors began to press for their
money, and his agent, Charles Hunhead.

smith. All were marched under the sheds, and
negro-like, at once commenced to gather
sticks for a fire. About half of them
came from the rice fields of Darien. These
were pure Congo, and In many instances
retained their uncouth African language,
The rest were far more intelligent in ap
pearance and were from St, Simon island,
a cotton plantation. Here and there,
scattered among them, were strange ne
groes with "banjos, hired by the manage
ment to stimulate cheerfulness and gayety
that was not, however, realized. The va
rious groups sat silent and apathetic,
some of the women mourning with hands
resting on their knees.
The white crowd was a typical Southern
one partly negro traders, flashing in
diamond shirt pins and gaudy chains,
and bullies from the swamps, and ruf
fianly overseers, many of them Northern

a state of pronounced furore, from the

while Pike was persuaded to leave the

disposition to proclaim his Identity and

a single representative of the old planter

disgusted with the whole proceedings. It
was one of their traditions that they had

220. It was announced from the first that
no division of families would be permitttd,
and this made the sale less profitable, as
many of the members were old or infirm,
and to get the good ones purchasers had
to take others less desirable. It took two
days to make a finish, and the proceeds
amounted to $203,550. The second dav
brought in a wind from the sea ami a
cold fog, that swept in waves over the
grounds.
The negroes huddled about the fires,
cooking their bacon and hoecake, and
here Mr. Butler put in an appearance.
From a bag carried by a servant, he gavrt
one of his old servants 51 in bright quar
ters, and of this the Tribune made much
scornful pleasantry. After all was said
in denunciation of the sale, the fact re
mained that it was necessary on Butler's
part; his creditors ordered it, and one
of the most vigorous 'people in forcing
his claim was a Philadelphia gentleman,
who was a leading and oratorical abo
litionist. Out of the sale of one of the groups
arose a series of tragedies that fitly Il
lustrated the tendencies of negro- trading.
Most of the men in this business were
fighters. They knew they were despised
and avoided by gentlemen, and so exacted
a certain amount of respect socially by
their readiness to resent an insult. Tom
Pate, a well-known Yicksburg trader,
bought at the sale a man, his two sisters
and wife, with the guarantee that they
should not be separated.
Disregarding this. Pate sold the sisters,
one to Pat Somers, a brother trader, and
the other to a resident of St. Louis. ' "What
legal rights a negro had In the South
were well protected. Somers was told of
the guarantee, and he sent the girl back
to Pate and demanded his money. A quar
rel was the result, and Somers was shot
dead. Ten days later his nephew killed
Pate and died from wounds received.
The feud was kept up until every male
bearing the name of Pate was wiped out.
and then the war liberated the sisters,
who were alive In St. Louis in 1SS7.
Butler sold In time. A year afterward
his slaves would not have brought $1

picion of having been poisoned by some

one of the most magnificent ever wit

of five- hours this great column of oil shot

In a very few moments the field about

It was a literal flood of oil, the estimat

even If one has no pressing need for hurry.
The rush is contagious. One" finds himself
drawnalongby the rapidly-moving crowd3
and is soon hurrying with the rest. It is
undoubtedly true that two-thirds of all
the men and women one sees tearing
through the streets are in no such actual
haste. They are merely victims of this
fearful habit of hurry.
But whether the fearful rush is essential
or not, the result is the same. Nerves and
brains are exhiusted, men and women
grow prematurely aced, times of depres
sion follow the high-strung condition. The
entire nervous system must be rapidly and
fully nourished to prevent utter prostra
tion and collap32. It is estimated by phy
sicians that Palne's celery compound an
nually saves thousands upon thousands of
men and women living in cities from
breaklng'down under their work. It builds
up the substance of the nerves and brain
faster than it is torn down by even such
prodigal waste. It curer permanently all
weakness of the stcmach, liver and kid
neys, and takes away any tendency of
these vital organs to disease.

For over So years the demand for it has
steadily increased. It was devised by an old
fashioned, noble hearted Family Physician,
for the good of his fellow men. It has stood
on its own intrinsic merit, while generation
after generation has used it with entire satis
faction and transmitted the knowledge of its
worth to their children. It is used and endorsed
by athletes. It is the best, the oldest, the
original. It is unlike any other. Itis superior
to any other. It is cot merely a Liniment, it is
the Universal Household Remedy irom infancy
to old age. For Internal as much as External
use. Trust what time has endorsed. Every
Mother should have it in the house, dropped
on sugar suffering children lovcit. Itsclectric
energy everlastingly eradicates inflammation.
Working certain muscles more than others
causes muscular soreness which should be
attended to at once. I cheerfully endorse
Johnson's Auod vue tiniment. and have found it
invaluable for removing soreness. Our mem
bens use it extensivelv for the same purpose.

Following Is a list of our city property
which la also to be Included in our new
circular, which we are daily publishing
and which is 10 be republished for East
ern circulation:
FOR SALE OR TRADE.
Qulmby house. Fourth street, corner of j
Couch, Portland, Or. Centrally located.
being within five minutes' walk of post
office, federal building, city hall and court
house, and within five blocks of Union de
pot. Cable line passes the house, and elec
tric lines one and two blocks distant.
House contains 110 bedrooms and parlors,
all well lighted; electric, bells, hydraulic
elevator, etc.; "bathroom and bar connected
with the house. Built in 1SS4, and furnish
ed at an expense of $20,000. Rooms carpeted
throughout with Roxbury Brussels, and
about half the house refurnished within
the past three years. Bar' and fixtures,
fine span of horses (valued at $300), first
class omnibus and harness go with the
house. Lease runs for four years, and an
extension can be secured. Rental S300.
The stores and barber shop on first floor
reduce the rent to $130 per month, amount
ing to little more than $1 per room per
month. The bar, which is run in connec
tion with the house, does a good business.
The house is doing more business than
any two other hotels of its class
in the city. Present proprietor has
been in this house ever since its
erection, "with but one brief inter
val. Ho will soon be too old to devote his
entire attention to the business, and de
sires to exchange for a small tract of fruit
land near Los Angeles, with buildings,
water rights, etc. An excellent opportu
nity for an energetic person. No incum
brance on the property.
We know of a splendid opening for a
banker with some small capital in a good
thriving town, a county seat, and the only
bank in the county. There was a banit
at the place one time, but when the pres
ent crisis came on the parties paid oft
their depositors and closed up. They nov.
have the fixture's, furniture, stationery,
safe, etc.. which they will sell fcr $1300.
It is really a splendid opening, and a place
where a man can make good Interest
and do it with small capital. The dis
trict Is one of the best In the- state, as
all the business in the region is done on
a cash basis, and there Is no .scarcity of
money in that district.
We have a good hotel, in a busy little
town up the valley, of 32 rooms, dlning-
:00m, etc., and doing agood transient bus
iness. "We are not at liberty to advertise
the location, but will say it is in a well
settled agricultural district, railroads
handy and numerous, and a splendid site
for such a ousiness. The rent is easy
$60 per month and the price, $1500, is
certainly most reasonable. Terms could
undoubtedly be arranged so that it would
be an easy thing for a purchaser to pay
for it out of the business.
$C0O will buy a good photograph gallery,
well located, on a prominent corner, on the
East Side. This includes the building,
which is movable, and all fixtures, for a
complete gallery. The building Itself cost
$200. The ground rent is 512 per month.
If so desired, the present owner would
teach the trade to a novice.
Furniture in an S-room dwelling-houss.
Cost $1200 new. two months ago. The
owner started to fit it up for a private
rooming-house, but has changed her mlid
(a woman's privilege), and now wishes
to go into something else. She will ac
cordingly sell the furniture for $700. Here
is a chance to get some cheap furniture.
One of the most select private rooming
houses In the city. This" place is well
located, and has always been run as a
private boarding-house, and as such pays
big money. The present owner, who got
the furniture on her hands, and has had
no experience in such business, has been
running it as a rooming-house only. The
furniture is all very line, and just what is
wanted for such a business. There are
23 rooms in the house, and the rent is
only $60 per month. Just the thing for
a fashionable boarding-house. Price, for
cash, $2500, and easy terms. The owner
would trade for good property. This is
strictly Al.
Another rooming-house, in Astoria this
time, consisting of 27 rooms, all furnished,
well situated near the boat landings, and
on the best business 3treet In the place.
Pays $30 per month, and doing a good
business," Astoria is on the verge of a
boom, and we can safely predict .that
there is money in this propositon for the
party who will take hold of It.. Price,
$2000.
Good steam dyeing and cleaning estab
lishment; well situated, and netting prob
ably $100 per month. Hat renovating, etc.
This business keeps from three to five
hands busy all the time, and as the rent
Is only $13 per month, the expenses are
very light. It is a business requiring
some technical knowledge, but the own
ers are willing to stay and teach it thor
oughly. Their only reason for selling Is
a desire to leave the city. Price $750.
House for sale Good house of 6 rooms
and basement, V& story: cost probably $300.
It stands on leased ground, with a ground
rent of $3 per month, and lease running 3
years yet. House is now rented for $8 per
month. Will sell this house for $173. It
now stands at 500 East Ellsworth.
Good corner lot and two houses on Elev
enth and East Ash streets. This lot is a
choice one; streets all improved, etc. It Is
one block from the East Ankeny street
car line, and two blocks from Burnside
J street, which Is 'the main thoroughfare on
the East Side, leading to a free bridge.
Property in this neighborhood is held very
firm, and it is directiv in line with the fu-
ture growth of the East -Side. This prop-
erty belongs to an estate, and must be
sold in order to settle It up; hence we have
put the price down to a fisure that will In-
sure a speedy sale viz.: 53000.
Corner lot. SxlI0, and a 3-room house, in
T-niversltv Park. This house has cltv wat-
er, bath and streets Improved, and we will
sacrifice the property for $1EC0. The house
itself cost $1300. This is one of the best
suburbs of Portland, located four or five
miles down the river, on a high, sightly
table-land, overlooking the harbor and city.
