ages are injurious. the question arises
What can be substituted for them"
We have very useful and practical in,
formation on this head from Col Dawes.
an experienced Indian officer. He recon-
mends that coffee ami tea should take the
place Of liquors. and says ''care should be
taken to have good coffee and tea provided
regularly in each troop and company. and
every man should have some offered to him.
the first thing in the morning before doing
duty. and also some in the evening"
When properly managed this practice is
alike beneficial to health and morals" A
very distinguished surgeon in the Indian
army states that from long experience in
tropical climates. with soldiers in barracks
and in the field. he observed that "a cup
of warm coffee taken in the morning tend
ed to prevent sickness"
During the Crimean war. it was found
that when the soldiers obtained warm cof-
fee. they sustained fatigue. and were COM
paratively healthy; but when they were in
the trenches. and could not get warm tee
or coffee. they were very subject to dyssa-
terry.

The Difficulties Encountered by the
nj Government Mt Washington.


ai Government at Washington.
No one can realize the amount of embar.
rassment which the Government has en-
countered from the necessity Of entrusting
the execution of its orders to an Army and
navy almost half demoralized by officers
of reasonable sympathics. 4 'aa7a,
When it was decided to employ troops
for the defence of the Capital, staff officers.
after remaining long enough in the War
Department to acquire as much knowl-
elge as possible of the details. resigned.
to carry that knowledge into the camp of
the enemy! f--7 eai gsa'aii
When the Norfolk Navy Yard was
found to be in danger. orders were dis
patched from the Navy Department to
have all the vessels taken out. Officers at
the Yard. secretly sympathizing with Sc
cession. first prevented the execution Of
the orders. on the ground that it was not
necessary. and then resigned. The Navy
Department on being apprised Of this.
instantly sent Commodore Paulding down
to ssve the property. But it was then too
late All that could be done was TO des-
troy it, to prevent its falling into the hands
of'the sccessionists, and that he did effac.
tually.
When the Seventh Regiment and the
Massachusetts troops arrived at Annapo-
lis, the Capital was almost defenceless.-
A quartermasier was ordered to 60 to An
napolis from Washington, to hasten their
march. He went as was Supposed to ex.
ecute his mission. but instead Of bringing
in the desired reinforcements. coolly, at
his leisure. brought in his resignation!a
| When the river steamboats, were seized
at Washington for Government use. they
were sent round to the navy yard to be
armed for service. Immediately on their
arrival every officer in the yard but one
resigned in order to stop the work!
These are but few pages out of the
whole volume Of unwr;tten history. AT
every step. for while. the Government
was clogged and crippled by traitors. who
drew their pay and affected loyalty SO
long as nothing was required Of them.
but who. at the critical moment their SER
vices were wanted. deserted to the ene-
my. :" h'.ef
But the active operations of the pasi
few weeks. and the inexorable sternness
with which every officer is stricken from
the roll who has qualms about his duty
have pnrgetf the service. The army and
the navy. at last. are officered by mer
who are loyal to the flag, and who, wher
they receive orders, viii execute them.
