THE PltEIDEM'S MESSAGE.
IUoie-CUizen of the Senate and
Itoute of Iiepretentativct :
The adjournment of the last Congress
without making appropriations for the
support of the army for the present
fiscal year hns rendered necessary a sus
pension of pnymeuts to the officers and
men of the sums due them for services
rendered after the 80th day of June last.
Tho army exists by virtue of statutes
which prescribe its ntirabcrs and regu
late its organization and employment,
and which fix the pay of its oltice'rs and
men and declare their right to receive
the same at stated periods. The statutes,
however, do not authorize the payment
of the troops in the absence of specific
appropriations. Therefore the Consti
tution has wisely provided that ."no
money sVall be drown from the treasury
but in consequence of appropriations
made by law ;"' and it has also been- de
clared by statute that "no department
of tho government shall expend in any
one fiscal year any Bum in excess of ap
nppropriations made by Congress for
that fiscal yew." We have, therefore,
au army in service authorize! by low
and entitled to be paid, but no funds
available for that purpose. It may also
be said, as an additional incentive to
prompt action by Congress, that since
the commencement of the fiscal year the
army, though without pay, has been
constantly and actively employed in
arduous and dangerous service, in the
performance of which both officers and
men have discharged their duty with
fidelity and courage and without com
plaint. These circumstances, in my judgment,
constitute on extraordinary occasion, re
quiring that Congress bo convened in
advauce'of the time prescribed by law
for your meeting in regular session.
The importance of speedy action upon
this subject on the part of Congress is so
manifest that I venture to suggest the
propriety of making the necessary ap
propriationsfor the support of the array
for the current year at its present maxi
mum numerical strength of twenty-five
thousand men, leaving for future' con
sideration all questions relating to an in
crease or decrease of the number of
enlisted meu. In the event of the re
duction of the army by subsequent legis
latiou during the fiscal year, the excess
of the appropriation could not be ex
pended, and in the event of its enlarge
ment, the additional sum required for
the payment of the extra force could be
provided in due time. It would be un
just to the troops now in service, and
whose pay is already largely in arrears, if
payment to them should be further post
poned until after Congress shall have
considered all the questions likely to
arise in the effort to fix the proper limit
to the strength of the army.
Estimates of appropriations for the sup
port of the military establishment for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1878,
were transmitted to Congress by the
former secretary of the treasury at the
opening of the session in December last.
These estimates, modified by the present
secretary sa to conform, to present re
quirements, are now renewed, amount
ing to 832,436,764 98, and, having been
transmitted to both Houses of Congress,
are submitted for your consideration.
There is also required bv the navy
department $2,003,861.27. This sum is
made up of $1,446,688.16 due to officers
and enlisted men for the last quarter of
the last fiscal year ; $311,953.60 due for
advances made by the fiscal agent of the
government in London for the support
of the foreign service ; $50 000 due
to tho naval hospital fund ; $150,000 due
for arrearages of pay to officers and $45,
219.53 for tho support of the marine
corps. There will also be needed au ap
propriation of 8202,535.22 to defray the
nusettled expenses of the United States
courts for the fiscal j ear ending June 30
"last," now due to attorneys, clerks,
commissioners and marshals, and for
rent of court rooms, the support of
prisoners and other deficiencies.
A part of the building of the interior
department was destroyed by fire on the
itith of last month. "Some immediate
repair and temporary structures have
iu consequence become necessary, esti
mates fur which will be tiansmitted to
Congress immediately, and au appropri
ation of the requisite funds is respect
fully recommended.
Tho secretary of the treasury will
oommuuicate to Congress, in connection
with tho estimates for tho appropriations
for the support of the army for the cur
rent fiscal year, estimates for such other
defluien(Me3 in the different branches of
t'je publio service as require immediate
action, and cannot, without inconvenience,
be postponed until the regular session.
I take this opportunity, also, to invite
your attention to the propriety of adopt
ing at your present session the necessary
legislation to enable the people of the
Uuited States to participate iu the ad
vantages of the International Exhibition
of agriculture, industry and fine arts,
which is to be held at Paris in 1878, and
in which this government has been in
vited b" the government of France to
take part . This invitation was communi
cated to this government in May, 1876,
by tho minister of France at this capital,
and a copy thereof was submitted to the
proper committees of Congress at its last
session, but no action was taken upon the
subject. The department of state has
received many letters from various parts
or the country expressing a desire to
participate in the exhibition, and numer
ous applications of a similar nature have
also, been made at the Uuited States
legation at Pari. The " department of
sta e has also received official advice of
the strong denire O) the port of the
French govenment that the United
States (should participate in this enter
prise, and space has hitherto been, and
still is, reserved in the exhibition build
ings for the U6e of the exhibitors from
the United States, to the exclusion of
other parties who have been applicants
therefor.
Ia order that our industries may be
properly represented at the exhibition an
appropriation will be needed for the
payment of salaries and expenses of
commissioners, for the transportation of
goods, aud for other purposes in connec
tiou with the object in view; and as May
next is the time tixed for the opening of
the exhibition, if our citizens axe to
eh tre the advantages of this international
competition for tho trade of other
nations the necessity of immediate ac
ti m is apparent. To enable the United
States to co-operate in the Iuternational
Exhibition which was held at Vienna in
1873, Congress then pawed a joint
resolution making an appropriation of
$2 )0,000, and authorizing the President
to uppoiut a certain number of practical
artisans and scientific men who should
attend the exhibition aud report their
proceedings aniL observations to him.
Provision was also made for the appoint
ment of a number of honorary commis
sioners. I have felt tliat prompt action
by Congress in accepting the invitation
of the government of France is of so
much interest to the people of this
country, and so suitable to the cordial
relations between the governments of the
two countries, that the subject might
properly be presented for attention at
your present session.
The government of Sweden and Nor
way has addressed an official invitation
to this government to take part in the
International Prison Congress, to be held
at Stockholm next year. The problem
which the congress proposes to study
how to dimmish crime is one in
which all civilized nations have an in
terest in common, and the congress of
Stockholm seems likely to prove the
most importaut convention ever held for
the study of this grave question. Under
authority of a joint resolution of Con
gress, approved February 16, 1875, a
commissioner Was appointed by my pre
decessor to represent tho Uuited States
upon that occasion, and the prison con
gress having been, at the earnest desire
of the Swedish government, postponed
to 1878, his commission was renewed
by me. An appropriation of $8,000 was
made in the sundry civil service act of
1875 to meet the expenses of the com
missioners. I recommend the reappro
priation of that sum for the same pur
pose, the former appropriation having
been covered into the treasury, and be
ing no longer available for the purpose
without further action by Congress.
The subject is brought to your attention
at this time in view of circumstances
which render it highly desirable that
the commissioner should proceed to the
discharge jf his important duties im
mediately. As the several acts of Congress pro
viding for detailed reports from the
different departments at the regnlor an
nual sessiou, I defer until that time any
further reference to subjects of public
interest. H. li. Hayes.
Washington, October 15, 1877.
Buried Alive for Eighteen Honrs.
At seven o'clock one Saturday morn
ing recently, while Henry Eauch was
engaged iu the work of cleaning out a
well, forty feet deep, on Stephen
Matthews' place, at Painesville, Ohio,
the whole side slid in, burying the man
alive. The alarm immediately spread
all over the village, mid people turned
out eu masse, willing to do all in their
power to rescue their neighbor. The
almost herculean work was placed under
charge of the mayor. No one expected
to find aught at the bottom of the debris
except the mangled corpse, but no less
willingly was the work prosecuted. Be
lays were formed, and as soon as one
man gave out another took his place,
A short distance from the surface curb.
ing was placed in order to keep the
treacherous earth from again falling in,
and the work was pushed on. At dark
but a little portion of the real work had
been done, aud those who had hope of
finding the man alive were completely
discouraged. It was thought that if he
had escaped being crushed or suffocated,
he must die of dampness or cold. Rut
the work was pushed on vigorously by
the light of lanterns and torches. One
curb after another wos put down, and
the men toiled on. Midcieht came, and
most of tho crowd had left, but bucket-
tul alter bucketful of stones and earth
were constantly ascendintr from the awful
pit. At length the bottom was nearly
reached, when one of the workmen called
out : " Henry, where are you ?" Dis
tinctly, inougn inumed by the earth.
came the answer : " On the side toward
town." During all the terrible eighteen
hours he had been iu the living tomb
Bauch had kept tho points of the com-
Eass in his miud.and this probably saved
im at a critical moment. Great care
was now taken not to strike the man's
head or to permit the debris to cave in
around him. In a few moments his head
and shoulders, then his whole body was
extnfcated. He was given neveral cups
of hot coffee and some bread, and after
a short sleep was able to walk home.
Bauoh's description of his sensations
while in the well are verv interestinir.
He had not moved a lniiacle, he said,
during the time. He had a slight breath
ing space afforded him by means of the
rope by which he was lowered. One
arm bent and raised supported a large
btoue, and the stone rested on the back
of his neck. He was delirious with ap
prehension much of the time, thought
of everything he had ever done, prayed
and wept, heard the men nt work from
the first, and when they stopped once
he gave up all hope. It seemed to him
he was iu the well a week at least.
Where a Uoveiuor Got His Wives.
Claiborne F. Jackson, a native of Ken
tucky, was once Governor of the State
of Missouri. He joined the Southern Con
federacy, and died during his term at a
farm house opposite the city of Little
Bock, among strangers, with' no kind
hand of affection near to soothe his
pain and rob his deathbed of half its an
guish. The most remarkable fact con
nected with the history of his life is per
haps the statement that he married five
sisters in one of the most respectable,
wealthy, and distinguished families in
the State ; that as soon as one wife
would die he would go and marry her
rister in reasonable time. Of course,
some of them were widows when he
married. Iu connection with the
marriages there was a standing joke
told at the expense of the Governor,
which was that when he went to ask the
old gentleman's consent 4o marry the
last one, the venerable father is report
ed to have said : " Yes, Claib., you can
have her. You have got them all. For
goodness' sake don't ask me for the old
woman."
A Novel Battle.
The other day a novel battle was wit
nessed at one of the leading restaurants
on Market street, Harrisburg, Pa., ac
cording to the Patriot. A large rat by
some means got into an empty barrel in
the cellar of the place referred to, and
was unable to free itself. The barrel
was brought out and into it were plaoed
two fnll grown f-pecimens of the hard
shell crab. The crabs opened the buttle,
and "went" for the rodent in fine style.
The rat, acting apparently in self-defence,
endeavored to ward off the sharp claw
thrusts of the shell fish, racking his in
stinot, no doubt how to make " deviled"
crabs oat of his foes before the fight
would be ended. The attack and defense
were watched by many interested in
natural history, all day long, but before
sundown the rat went to the happy feed
ing grounds of all rodents the crabs
having killed it without being tny the
worse for wear.
Dr. Dodds is the Dr. Mary Walker of
St. Louis. She is a regular practicing
physician, well-to-do and wears a dress
unlike anything else in nature a man's
trousers, confined at the bottom rather
closely, a garment in place of a coat,
which is neither coat nor cloak, and a hat
which is neither male nor female in char
acter. She believes in sun baths, and
has built a great bay window in her
house wherein to take and administer
the same, but her neighbor is building a
dwelling to command the bay window,
whereupon the doctor has begun the
ereotion of a board fence as high as his
house.
Susie and the Prairie Fire.
Just at the meeting-place of a wide
prairie and deep forest, stood, many
years ago, a little log house.
Within dwelt a girl by the name of
Susie. She did not live alone, for the
house was full with her parents and old
er brother and sisters. But my story
is of her, the youngest and the pet of all.
It would take long to toll the city girls
of to-day how Susie lived and knew what
it was to be lmppy.
When the log house had stood in its
place about three yeors, and had been
clasped and covered by the clinging
arms of the forest vines, Susie noticed
one afternoon a great commotion in the
household. The neighbors who lived
nearest came and talked to her father out
in the meadow with hurried, exoited
voices, ner brothers hastened to put
on their heavy boots and stout leather
mittens. While her mother and sisters
went round with troubled faces, nil the
men hurried off together to the prairie
how far she could not see in the gother
ing darkness. Soon after, the wind,
which came in slight puffs from the
direction in which they had gone, brought
with it the smell of smoke.
" Soy, mamma, where has papa gone,
and w'hat mokes everybody look so
frightened?" said SiiBie pressing close
to her mother's side with the sobs com
ing in her voice. '
"Susie, dear, don't be frightened
don't cry, but be mamma's little woman.
It is prairie fire, aud papa and the boys
have gone to help put it out."
"Will it come- here, mamma will it
buru our house ?"
" No, dear, I hope not. It is a long
way off, and the men will burn some of
the grass, not far from the fields, so that
when the big fire comes there it will
stop, because thero will be nothing for
it to burn."
Then her mother hurried away to see
that coffee was made and food prepared
for the men who would be up all night.
Susie stood at the door in the darkness
and looked toward the south, where she
saw, far away, a dull red gleam, which
sometimes flushed up brightly, but more
often seemed to her excited fancy like a
great fiery snake, crawling toward her
home. Ont here lay her lather s corn
fields, and there came the dreadful lire,
ready to devour them.
Then a thought flashed into her mind.
Susie was a courageous little girl, and
had energy enough for two. Perhaps
she might help put out the fire. Her
mother and sister were too busy to no
tice her movements. Without pausing
to think what mamma might wish her to
do, she ran through the door-yard aud
was soon making her way across the
meadow toward the cornfield. At last
she reached the end of the field aud
looked out on the broken prairie.
Stretching out of sight on either hand
was a red line of flame rising toward the
sky, and covering it with a dense cloud
of smoke. The sparks flew in every di
rection, and many, yes, very many, were
brought by occasional puffs of wind
near to where she stood. But she soon
made a discovery which caused her to
forget the distant fire. Some sparks had
Jit iu the dry grass by the rail fence not
far away. The grass had kindled aud
the blaze was spreading and beginning
to curl around the rails, and just ou the
other side was her father's cornfield. It
was but the work of a moment to find a
stout stick, and then Susie's labor be
gan. How intently she beat the grass
and stamped on it with her little shoes ?
She soon found that she was really
smothering the flames, aud though her
face and hands were hot and her arms
ached, she kept on until not one spark
was left, and only the burnt grass aud
slightly blackened rails were left to
show what Susie had done.
" But, oh ! I'm so tired," she said.
" I wish I could find papa." Her tired
limbs soon gave out, and she sank down
with sobs which would come into her
throat. Alone and in the dark and
tired out, no wonder the tears fell as
she lay on the grass, until her sobs
grew less and sleep shut her eyelids
down.
After a while, when the fire had been
extinguished, her father reached home
to find the house in commotion.
"Oh, father! have you seen Susie?"
said his wife, coming to him with terror
in her face.
"Susie! is she gone?" he said, hoarse
ly, for he was very tired.
" She is lost ! We have searched the
whole place and called and called, but
wo eau't find her anywhere."
" Mother," said the oldest daughter,
"might she not have followed father to
the fields "
"The child! the poor darling 1 per
haps she did ; and who knows into what
danger she has gone ? The wolves are
around to-night," and she shuddered
with fear.
" Mother," said her husband, " she is
in God's hunds, wherever she may be.
Come, boys, we will search the fields ;"
and he hastened out with a lantern, while
his sons and neighbors who had returned
with him followed with such means of
light as they could obtain.
It did not take long to trace Susie to
her resting-place, for they knew she
would follow in the direction she had
seen them take. When her father paused
not far from the path over which he
had passed a short time ago, put the
lantern down hastily and took her in his
arms, what a shout went up from those
who were near ! Her mother and sisters,
who had followed the others, crowded
around with tears of joy. Awakened by
the noise and light, she lifted her head.
bewildered, but when she saw her father
she said, iu a sleepy voice :
' Papa, I did help put out the fire. I
kept it from burning up the corn. " And
theu her tired head sank back on his
shoulder,and she fell asleep. New York
