the exception Of four, who are disabled by
disease or age.
These are pain facts and should commend
themselves to the consideration of every Con-
gresham. OF late years the army and navy
have received much attention from Congress-
West Point has reached the highest point of
perfection, and annually sends to the army a
class of young officers of the very first order
of military education. Annapolis has attained
an enviable position among national schools of
its class, and is furnishing the navy with mid
shipmen far superior to those Of the olden
time. 1t is now but just that Congress should
do something for the improvement of the ma
rine corps. It is as old and older than the Gen.
fury; yet the only change that has been effected
in it since its organization has been the substi-
tuition of the percussion for the flint lock, and
more recently the exchange of the smooth bore
for the rife musket. II would be great saw
ing of money to the government, and would
greatly advance the efficiency of the corps, if
its administration were transferred to the De-
partment of War.
The Secretary of the Navy has Us much as
he can do to look after his ships. He can, dur
ing his term of Office, only acquire naval ideas,
and in becoming a sailor he naturally ignores
the soldier. The corps should be divided into
regiments, and attached to the infantry estab-
lishment of the army The infantry regiments
could then alternately supply guards for the
ships and garrisons for the different naval sta
tons. The vacancies among the officers might
be filled from the Military Academy, and not
taken, as at present. from civil life, without re-
gard to moral physical or intellectual capacity.

The Wisconsin journals relate strange
and romantic story, OF which the following
is the general outline: A farmers sou,
some twelve years ago, married a neigh
boring girl, the daughter Of very
respectable family. They removed i'm
medately to a distant place, where they
had been living but few days. when
upon his return home one evening, the
wife Of week was missing. She did not

of course, the utmost anxiety, and in the
morning he started in search of her. He
could only learn that she took the stage
alone, which led 10 the railroad station
some miles distant. lie followed her, out
at the Depot lost all trace of her. He
wrote to her former home, and Published
notices in the newspapers-but could
obtain no clue to her whereabouts. He
grieved in loneliness at her supposed
criminal act, and to escape the scene
where his week of unsulIied happiness
had been followed by so great grief, he
removed to the then sparsey settled vii.

ing piece Of land, and in It's cultivation,
and the cares of life, sought (orgetfulOess

filled Offices Of trust, aud grown wealthy.
After a few years, his home requiring
attention, he married but his wife lived
only long enough to bear him son, and

the strange visitor to be seated. Their

their separation. She could tell nothing,
except Of one hour of returned reason,
when the little girl beside her-her
daughter-was brought into the world.
After that long time, ,itfully and At periods
remote from each other, came back reason
and memory. She had wandered to q
distant city, in state Of wild insanity
;here she fell among kind people and was
installed in an insane asylum. After the
birth Of the daughter, and ten years more
spent within its walls. thoughts Of hcr
home and husband came back. She
slowly recovered-then visited her pa,

in his arms, and they wept upon each

pected marriage, to one whom they
suppose to be fair widow with whom
he had recently become acquainted.
