MoRM0NIsM SOUND AS A DOLLAR.

The good -natured gentlemen who were appointed
by the President some time ago to leave their homes
ana their household gods and enjoy themselves
here at the government expense while the examina-
lions 60 on, and VINO are officially known as the
Board OF Visitors, were made very happy this afier-
noon. It takes but very little to make Board OF
Visitors happy mere, be 1t KNOWN though. strange
1t may seem, must confess that gunpowder Is
the gentle influence used for the purpose every
year. If the WINE In the officers cupboards were
only good enough It might serve to make
the Board stlll more happy every time the gum
powder Is used but when liquors are tabO0ed on the
post what fellow dor The way the gunpowder
is made servlceabe In this respect Is simply to
make few pieces OF artillery go or loudly until flf.
teen discharges have been set down to the honor OF
the visitors. and this done to-day. with all due
regard to the composites OF the occasion. After

nothing, and the inrerchangng OF compliments that
were thrown out right and left, without regard
to feel the enemy.
THE REVIEW

cadets did mayni1cently, and the only sad mistake
made during the manHuvring was the neglect OF
General Upton in not inviting the Board OF Visitors
to joia the corps on the plain when the order double
