COMMODORE WILKES IN COMMAND OF THE JAMES

penetrated the Navy Department at Washing

over that department Of the government to the
necessities that live man is needed at the
head Of the James river feet. Commodore
Goldsborough has been relieved of that
portion of the command, and Commo-

pointed in his place This change will
be received with universal favor by the
people of the Northern States. The public

Greece.

We can never lose deep interest in this
unfortunate country. The mother of heroes.
letters, arts and history, once renowned
throughout the world, and stood in the
advance of civilization. To her past, we
turn, and find immense stores to interest
the historian, the poet and artist; TO her
present, to find people, long sleeping,
dull existence, under the darkening
shadow of the Moslems, released from
this grasp, which had held her bound for
centuries, in 1927, partly by purchase,
and foreign aid, and partly by the exer-
lions of her people, she started on new
career, and now is attracting the atten-
ton of the nations, by new troubles and
complications. The following, taken
from the Boston Post, will give oar read
ers an idea of the causes of her present
prominence, commencing from the cessa-
ton of her involvement in 1927 The
Post says:
Then came the qestion of government
A republic with President was tried
for season. This was not found prac-
ticable. Then monarchical Institutions
were resolved upon, upon limited basis
The crown was formally rendered to
several parties, young Princes of Europe,
and finally accepted by Ohio, then a boy
of sixteen, the second son of the King of
Bavaria. He arrived in Greece in 1888,
and commenced his reign nnder regen-
cy, by proelaiming a general amnesty,
excluding from Office all extreme Repub-
licans and partizans of Russia, granting
the freedom of the press, placing the adj
ministratiOn of justice on a sound basis,
organizing an army, with a Bavarian
force added of 5000 men, endeavoring to
suppress bands of robbers, and by with
drawing from the Catholic and joining
the Greek Church. The allied powers
loaned him S17000,000 to put his finan-
ces on a good basis, S5,000,000 was paid
TO the Sultan for surrender of territory.
But Ohio had no administrative ability,
his wife ruled him, he did not pay the
interest of the money lent him by the
allied powers. He was an unfit man fl +
the place, and he has hopelessly lost it,
The question now is what shall be
done ? The mobiles are said to be jeal-
Gus of each other, and will hardly con-
sent to see one of their own number ele-
waited TO the throne. They are too proud
of monarchy to see republican form
of Government adopted. Among those
spoken of for the crown are Prince Alfred
of England; and Prince of Eichstadt,
the great grandson of the Empress jose
phine, the first eighteen and the latter
nineteen years old. The latter, through the
combined interest of Alexander and Ma
poleon, is most likely to have the offer.
What the result will be it is difficult to
tell We are only certain of one thing,
that Greece cannot yet govern herself
She wants sound, conservative balance
Private interests will not yield to the
compromises necessaryNto nationality
as long as such is the case, she, nc
more than any other nation, can main
tain nationality.

Humors of the Draft.

From the Rochester (New York; Express.
To- day closes the sitting of the Com.
missioner on the hearing of exemption
claims. The figures and facts will be
given in the reports of the Commissioner
and Surgeon.
The calendar Of diseases has been con-
siderably increased, and much that is
new to the medical world has been devel-
oped, which should be reported at the
next State Medical Convention.
Not all of those offering lame excuses
could be classed as cripples; on the con-
trary the majority were strong and able
bodied. Lovers of variety could not
help but be suited with the causes given
why the applicant should not take his
chances with the rest.
One man claimed that he was of such
an excitable nature that in an engage
ment he would lose control of himself
and be as likely to point his gun to-
wards the Union ranks as the rebs. One
was unable to squint in wet weather, and
in stormy engagements he would be of
no service. Some who were by nature
favored with something more than alder
manic proportions, claimed relief on the
ground that they couldn't stand fat igue
obesity being their chief ailment. One
whose spirit of pugnacity was quite
dominant, claimed release on the ground
that he could not fall in with a company.
He belonged to one company and fell out
with every one of the members. The
size of his feet was an excuse offered by
one, who insisted that when a retreat was
ordered upon turning about he would
brea k up the company line, thereby pro-
ducing a panic. One, hardware man,
hadn't a stomach strong enough to digest
a "hard tack, and he was sure that "salt
horse" would produce nausea.
A confirmed stammerer went before
the surgeon and stated that he was net
f-f-f-f-ft to f-f.f-f-f-fght for-the
Union. He co-couldn't t-t-t-t-talk f.
fast enough to cry quarter or give the
countersign. He was exemempted
A son of the Emerald Isle claimed ex-
emption on the ground that he was an
alien and voted the straight Jimmycrai
ticket"
Many hypochondriacs have been cured
of their imaginary ailments and have
afIectionately shaken the surgeon by the
hand and departed in the best Of spirits
TO think that they 'Oere really in the en-.
ljoyment Of good health.
A singular and noticeable circumstance
may be found in the fact that n0qe of the

For two weeks the military authorities
have been very strict, and, as no person
is permitted to leave the city who is not
loyal, necessarily vast amount of ques-
tioping takes place at the provost mar
shaPs office. A few days ago tall, de-
iected looking, middle aged man made
his appearance before Colonel Gillem, and
solicited pass. The first question put
by the Colonel was:
"Are you loyal man?'

solicitor, 81 expect am"

whether you are q Union man or nOt?"
