sented himself at the hall of Pelican Lodge,

union" with the announcement at the sum-
NIT of an ornamental arch: " By our deeds
shall we be known" with a reverse +:
"Deeds, not words"

propriately constituted. ~
After the regular business Of the evening
had been completed, the Lodge and attend
ant visitors, most of whom were ladies, re-
solved themselves into social gathering,
and the reporter spent q pleasant hour. He
would like to thank in name each enc to
whom he was indebted for courtesies, but
the list is too long; but he must, perforce
mention the names of Mrs. H. j. Cline and

Ten MILLIONS OF FIGHTING MEN.-AD the
principal countries of Europe, except Austria,
are reorgsnizing their army systems. Germany
Ia about to Increase her available military
force by 400, 900 men, and Russia, whose army,
including ~irregulars, has hitherto numbered
l,309, COZ men on var footing, expects, nnder
the new system, to have q force OF 1882. 8O9
men at her disposal, not reckoning the local
troops and the militia. The new military
organization of France is not yet decided upon,
but 1t Is believed that It's result will be to In
crease her army to l,400, 600. Italy, whose war
establishment hitherto amounted to bl9,63O
men, including reserves. propose by the plan
Of reorganization which has been adopted by
her government to raise q force of from $780,
600 to 800, 900 men. The Turkish army, when
on a war footing. has hitherto consisted OF
270, 900 men, inclusive OF the nizams, or mill
tia. 1t Is 10 be increased to 600,0 600 men.
Finally, the military force of England at home
is to be raised Under Mr.. Card 9ell's scheme to
about 800, 900 men. When all these plans
are carried out, the total war establishment
OF the armies of Europe will be increased from
