PRIVATE ARMIES.

Thomas B. Preston, an able writer on
tin* stuff of tho New York Herald, con
tributes a aeholnrly ami Intetesting re
sume of the history of private armies
in tho old world, and traces tbeir anal
ogy with private police organizations
In America, lt is au interesting re
cord.
“Tito first of the 'free companies' wa.
formed out of n largo body of Herman
cavalry, disbanded by the city of Pisa
lit K.ld, after a war with Florence,
thereupon the Hake Guaruieri engaged
them to remain armed and united under
bis control, and proposed to wander from
one state to another, levying a tribute.
Threw years inter, Guaruieri, in con
junction with I.oula of Hungary, who
tiivuded Naples, again entered Italy
and laid waste the Papal stales. Mure
formidable than Guarnieri’s band wa.
that of Count Conrad i.ande, which
hail been collected in 135;!, and was
called the ‘Grand Company.’ It con
sisted of 1,000 cavalry, l,5t)0 select iu-
fantry, and a mulitudc of ruffians r.ud
plunderers, who acted as guides and
spies. They received largo sums from
the rich cities uf Tuscany aud Uomugua
as tlie price of refraining from entering
their territories. But the greatest of
the condotticri, and a general »f no mean
abilities was Sir John llawkwood, whom
the Italian historians call Acud. He
hail served under Kdward III. against
France, and after the peace of lirciiguy
entered the empolymont of the Marquis
of Mnntfcirat, aud theu passed into that
of Plan. For thirty years the White
Company, ns it was called, harrassed
the northern part of Italy, being hired
somelimee by the Milanese, sometimes
by tho Florentines, and sometimes by
the Popes. Among the other famous
condottieri were Jacopo del Verne, who
defeated the German Emperor Ilttpert;
Mforza Attcudoio, u peasant of ICoinugnn
who entered the service of Naples;
Bracrlo di Montone, his rival, who
fought for tho Florentines, aud Car-
nuiguola, who was in the employ of
Venice. Spain had Its private armies,
but the necessity of greater consolida
tion in tho long wars against the Moors,
prevented their arriving at the import
ance which thoy elsewhere attained.
England also experienced them, and at
one time, it is said, there were upwards
of 1,0U0 feudal castle* owned by lords
of the soil, each with his body of armed
retainers. The strong measures of llea-
ry VII. succeeded dually in abolishing
private war. In Scotland, the practice
lasted much longer, eveu down into the
eighteenth century. Somewhat analugoui
to the private armies were the Janissa
ries, a body guard of Christian captives,
first formed lu 13(10 by Sultau Ainurath
I., which afterwards became a menace
to the Turkish empire, and which only
passed out of existence in the present
century. Mercenary troops were fur-
uisbed by tbo Swiss to every govern
ment In Europe for many years. I.nst-
ly, there were the Ilcssiaas, whom King
George III. hired to do battle in this
country against the cause of American
liberty*
A Hold Crisis In Kurops.
From Money.
The rite In rate* predicted by us last
week, but which came as a surprise to
most persona la the market, is mainly
due to withdrawals of geld for St. IV-
inr.bnre. For fully halt u clurea years
now tlie Russian government has been
a disturber of markets. Our readers
will recollect bow, between 188T and
1800, my stcriou* movements of the met
al between London and Sc Petersburg
wero frequently reported. Sometimes
millions were sent from St. Petersburg
to Louduu without apparent •’aus*, and
sometimes they went back again equally
mysteriously. It will not have escaped
the recollection of our reader* either
that the immediate cause of the last
serious crisis was the withdrawal of a
couple of millions from Messrs. Baring
Bros. Since 18S0 we have had two
troubling* of the market. Last May
twelve month the Kothschllda of London
and Paris retired from negotiations for
bringing out n Russian loan. It was
instantly reported that to revenge itself
the Russian government would move Its
agency from these two great bbuses,
and would, in consequence, withdraw
Immense sums. As a. mutter of fact,
the withdrawals did not take place, but
sales oa an enormous icale occurred,
and these broke down all speculative
departments, apprehension continuing
for several months. The general Inter
pretation piaced upon theu fact* was
that In order to prepare tor possible
emergencies the Messrs. Roilucliild
were disposing of stocks. Now agaiu
withdrawals aro beginning of a very
uncomfortable magnitude, and once
morn we find the Russian government
behind them. The question arises—How
much gold stands to its credit abroad?
According to the St. Petersburg Bourse
Galette it has 1U.OUO.OUO sterling iu
London. 5,000.000 sterling in Paris and
4,000,000 storting in Berlin. Pari*, we
may reasonably roncititle, will not be
troubled, for Russia ha* to look to tbo
Paris market for financial accommoda
tion. But London and Berlin may at
any moment be seriously Inconvenienced
idiould the Russian government decide
to art In an unfriendly spirit, or should
ha difficulties so increase at to compel
it to acquire funds rrgardleas of conse
quence*. ______

From the Statist.
The ulement that la utterly incalcula
ble, and is moat disquieting it the Rus
sian demand. M'c explained to our mail
ers lut week thut the official pretext
for taking the gold it that the govern
ment has to ieaue inconvertible paper
notes, tu targe amount* la consequence of
iu relief expenditure, and that to prevent
undue depreciation of the note*, it lodge*
iu the Imperial Bank an equivalent
amount of gold. But at we pointed out,
and as It is plain to everyone who thinks
for * moment, gold which cannot be got
at be the note-holder cannot prevent n
depreciation of the note. Therefore, It
scent! reasonable to conclude iLat the
real motive of the government nt (be
accumulation of a war treaaure. But
llu-t'a has been taj.lly able to export
any grain for the last twelve months on
account of the famine. Her turns! L
again bad this year, and her exportable
surplus is co&u-quratly, very small.
Therefore, Russia will not hi »K« by
means of her exports to defray the gov
ernment’s liabilities abroit-l. whether In the
shape of Interest on tbe debt or for
war material, or for purchases of food
and seed. It w-nn'.d seem to follow that
all (he gold she has in western Kurops
will be needed for ibese purootes. How
1* It. then, that Russia it taking the large
amounts tint w-> bear of from the bs’
trace of 10.000,000 sterling standing to
Iu credit in London. It s—tni In
credible Am ah» .-an be mntemplatioc
war at tbe beginlnt of winter, and .if
she la not it Is difficult to understand
whit can be hit motive.
biuincati depression lit Enflftii d. they
now venture Pi say that free trade is
rutuing Great Britain, and to held up
protection as a universal panacea for
economic ills. Instead of asserting now
that free trade cures and EngUabtaan
and kills an American, they assert that
it is a general lethal agent, instructive
to the interests of nil nations—the plain
inference from which la that national
commerce U u mistake, and that we
shall enjoy no true prosperity until we
return to the state of society which
prevailed in the dark ages, when every
robber -liarou levied tribute upon all
who brought merchandise Into or trans
ported it through his territory.
How free trade is ruining Great Brit
ain may seen from the income tax re
turns for 1S91. No income tux of less
than $750 pays any tax at all. The
earnings, therefore, of the great army
of ordinary laborers are entirety exempt.
Yet tho total assessments ofhtst year
aggregated tho rather respectable total
of S3,402,037,745. which was nit Increase
of $U5.244,0SU over those of 18!W, and
an increase of $342,750,<133 over thotc
of 1880. In other words, taxable in
comes were 10 per rent, larger last year
than they were live years before, a very
healthy rate of growth, nolwilhstiiiidiug
tlte complaints of business depression.
It is also important to note tbat wbilo
there -has been some decrease lu tbo in
come from land, there has been a large
sions, etc., or, in other words, from in
dustrial occupations. In this schedule
the Increase was 21.47 per cent., or more
than four times the increase iu popula
tion.
It appears probable, therefore, not
withstanding the recent conversion of
Lortl Salisbury, Tory, and Henry La-
bouohere, Liberal, to the principles of
protection, that Great Britaia can get
along for somo years more without
adopting n McKinley bill.

One thing the American learns
abroad, from the standpoint of the In
ternational pension, Is that his own
girls aro models of respectful demean
or to their superiors compared with
upper class English girls. At Beau
lieu were two young English girl?,
whose brother Is a lord of high de
gree, and whose names nro constantly
rend In the record of gay doings. They
were there with their mother, who hatl
some ailment requiring a change of
climate. They would come Into the
public dining room. "Where Is she,
Violet?" "Oh, she'll be around here
soon.” ’’She" was their mother.
One of them had taken a studio at
Cannes, which furnished tho occastou
of their getting off. In splto of their
mother’s protests, nnd leaving the old
Indy to wander nlono among the coun
try roads. ’Tell her we are going to
Cannes this afternoon. Violet.” "Tell
her yourself. She’ll be next to you.'
Then this daughter would calmly say.
In a loud tone, for her mother was
slightly deaf. "We’re going to Cannes
this afternoon." The old lady would
niambl" her protests over her plate.
We're going, anyway,” said >uu
daughter, ns a finality, and tbe two
would laugh.
Thoy were young girls: but to Cam
nes they went, autl unattended.
American girls should behave thus nt
foreign table-. In how many ways
would we not hear of It? It Is but
fair to say that the English tnlddl
class girl accords better with tbe Ideal
wo have all formed of the modest
retiring, respectful demeanor of the
daughters of that Isle.

In nn Interesting article on the (inmua

"On the level ground wost of tbe town

of brawny Indians angaged la tbeir fa

stake*, and these always high—two or
three horses, a fine rifle qr war ctub.
Tbeir game of ball, which Rlack Hawk
mentioned as very popular, waj played in
this wise: A tall pint was erected at
either extremity of tbe play ground, and
the players divided Into rival parties.
The object of each was to defend its
own p»t and drive tbe ball to that of
Ha adversary. ’Hundreds of lithe and
