The limited States ARMY.

The House committee on military al
fairs has recommended the passage OF
Mr.. Banning's bill, providing that there
shall be no new enlistments in the army
until the forces of enlisted men have
been reduced to 10000, and requiring
the Secretary of War to reduce the
number of cavalry regiments to eight,
and the number of infantry regiments
to sixteen. The bill was opposed by
the Republican members of the COM
mittee.
1t is understood that the Army
Board, OF which Gen. Schofield is presi-
dent, has reported new regulations for
the army, the result of which is to
make the heads of bureaus in the War
Department In Washington staff Off
GERS to the General of the army. This
is precisely the scheme to which Gen.
Rawlins made such strenuous objection
when he was Secretary of War. The
effect of these regulations, if adopted,
will be to take the control of these bu-
reaus from the secretary, thus making
him a mere ngurehead, and changing
materially numerous existing laws.
The Chief of Engineers, the Chief of
Ordnance, the Judge Advocate Gen
eral, the Commissary General, and
other heads of bureaus have, it is said,
filed their objections to this great and
radical change in the laws, and the
proposition that Congress should pass
these regulations creates a good deal of
feeling in army circles.

Humorous.

He had made his wife 4 present of Il
nice diamond ring, and As they rode
along in the street car, he noticed that
the hand upon which the ring sat was
kept bare. Aren't you afraid your
hand will get cold?'' asked he. "Cold!''
exclaimed she; "you don't know much
about a woman if you think her hand
could get cold with a ring on it like
that!" And she adroitly smoothed
down her dress, with the jewelled hand
in full view of every passenger.
"Oh, ma" exclaimed stylish young
Chicago miss on the opening day of
Lent; 81 can't go to services after all,

mother; where's the costly oneI gave

piled the miss, 81 couldn't carry that.
for it doesn't match my dress at all ~
And the poor girl had to remain away
from the church privileges.
"Some visitors are coming, and you
must keep a little still this afternoon
remarked a Chicago teacher to her pu,
pills one day lately. We can't keep a
little STILL or a big one, either
chimed in one lad, "leastwise we can't

The teacher then remembered that the
boy was the son of a former revenue
defaulter, and pardoned his remark.

both backed off and smilingly perused
the bulletin board again.

Teaching the Baby,

You must take your baby just where
he is now, not much than a little
animal, and educate his physical ma
ture, 81 rapidly developing. For in
stance, he has just reached the climbing
age; every chair and stool is a worry
to you, and a pair of stairs is a per-
petual terror. Now show him how to
get up and down stairs, how to place
his feet in climbing into chairs. Let
him tumble a little, 1t will only make
him more careful. 1t is but a f~oretaste
of the hard schooling which experience
gives us all our lives. Better a little
fall, with you close by to stop it
at the right place, than a great one
when you are off guard" some day.
(Remember that too, when he is in his
teens.) But, l beg of you, if you want
to see him grow up active, strong
limbed and agile, do not keep his white
dresses too clean, o tie his sashes
after the present uncomfortable fashion,
so that he isn't conscious of any legs
above his knees. Then, let him feed
himself. He'll make a miserable mess
of it at first, but protect him well with
bib and tin tray, and he'll soon teach
the spoon the way to his mouth. Let
him burnihiS fingers a little some day
when the stove is not very hot, lie
won't touch it when it would he dan.

THE WATER MILL,


Listen to the water mill g.
All the livelong day
How the clicking of the wheel
Wears the hours away.
Languidly the autumn wind .-
Stirs the greenwood leaves;
From the field the reaperS sing,
Binding up the slcaves;
And Il memory DER my mind
Asa spell is cast
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
Summer winds revive no more,
Leaves strewn over earth and main.
And the 81, kle near can reap
The gathered grain again
And the ripping stream flows on,'
Tranquil, deep and still
Never gliding back again b.
To the water mill,
Truly speaks the proverb old.
With a meaning vast
''The mill will never grind
With the water that is past"
Take the lesson to yourself,
Loving heart and true;
Golden years are fleeting by;
Youth is passing, too;
Strive to make the most of life,
Lose 40 happy day;
Time will never bring you back
Chances swept away.
Leave no tender word unsaid
Love while love shall last
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
Work while yet the daylight shines.
Man OF thought and will
Never does the streamet glide
Useless by the mill;
Wait not until to-morow's sun
Beams upon your way,
All that you can call your own
Lies in THIs-to-day. ID.
Power, intellect and health
May not always last
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past

DESTROYING INsECTs.-The journal
of ChemistTy' says, that hot alum water is
the best insect destroyer known. Put the
alum into hot water and let it boil till the
alum is dissolved. Then apply it hot with
a brush to all cracks, closets, bedsteads
and other places where any insects are
found. Ants, bedbugs. cock-roaches, and
creeping things, are killed by it, while it
has no danger ofpoisoning the family or
iujuring property.

THE RETURN OF THE LADIES SLIPPER

The RETURN OF THE LADIES SLIPPER.
We hail with plasure the advent of the
ladies slipper. 1t has long been in retire
ment. 1t adds new attraction to the
street. The French Bottine may now take
a rest. Nearly q generation has passed
whose only street view Of a feminine ankle
has been through leather At last the
stocking of our grandmothers are revealed.
The clean white hose is Il power in the
land. Its influences is sudden, Mysterious
subtle, and magnetic. 1t concentrates all
eyes as a focus on itself. 1t amuses and
interests the lounger. 1t affords to the hur-
ried man of business momentary respite.
1t redoubles the liabilities of the careless
to be run over. It is not without charm
for the aged breast. No portion ola ladys
apparel is more effective. The snowy an
kle, if at all symmetrical, half compensates
for a plain face. 1t is make weight in the
dover of feminine beauty ofwhich women
for long years have been robbed. For the
boot is expensive. A little worn, and it
becomes misshapen and ugly. We well
come the Slipper. Long may it reign. The
simpler the style the hetter.-N. Y. Graph

There were five minority Presi-
dents before Hayes. Andrew Jack
son did not receive a majority on the
popular vote but he had $4,000 more
votes than his highest competitor.
Polk represented a minority, and SO
did Taylor, but both were many
thousand votes ahead of the next
highest candidates. Buchanon fell
nearly 400, 900 behind the combined
votes of Fremont and Fillmore, yet
had half a million more than either
one. Abraham Lincoln, with a mil
lion less than were thrown against
his, was still half a million ahead of
Douglass. But Returning Board
Hayes, who now occupies the office,
held honestly by all of these minor
ity Presidents, had neither a major
ity of the electoral vote, o of the
popular vote. More ballots were
cast for Tilden than for Hayes,
Cooper and Smith combined, with
nearly 10000 to spare. Hayes is
neither President of a majority,
nor honestly of a minority. He is
the President of a Returning Board,
and of a conspiracy.
