thus duly drilled and enjoined, took his post
at the head of the table, behind his mistress,
and for awhile found sufficient amusement in
looking at the grand ''set-out' and staring at
the guests. When he was weary of this, and Of
an inaction to which he was so little used. his
eye began to pry about among nearer objects.

French fashion of having the back and shout

much lower than accorSF either with the Eng

This lady was in the height, or lowness, OF
that fashion, and, between her shoulder
blades, not far from the confines where
nakedness and clothing met, Thomas espied
something. The guests were too much en-
gagged with the business and the cour.esies Of

The area of land surface is esti- mated at 5l, ,s40, 800 square miles, giving an average of twenty-eight persons to one square mile.

AN ARMY OF OFFICERS,
Aa 0Gcial to ervy Eigh PsIratss-Recs1it-
 ing Goiaq ca.

Since the passage of the Army bill, says
 the Philadelphia Times of Dec. 2sd, the re-
 cruiting parties which had been previously
 withdrawn, have been ordered to return to
 their duty and recruiting has been resumed,
 and officers of tl.s War Department think
 that within three months th srmy will be
 at it's maximum, twenty-five thousand men.
 As soon as the army Appropriation bill
 failed at the last Congress all recruiting
 ceased, because enlistments could not be
 made without money, and so the army was
 greatly reduced. Its available force at this
 time is not more than twenty thousand
 men all told, including recruiting parties,
 ordnance corps, signal service men, scouts, clerkc and enlisted men of all grades and
 pay. The advance copy of the new Army
 Register for January, 1878, has just been issued, and by actual count, from the names of officers in it's pages, it appears that there are two thousand two hundred and eighty six officers in the army, of all grades and stations.
 Placing the army at l9,000, it is found that there are only eight men and a frac- ton to each officer. It is also shown that the combined pay of the officers in the more than the combined pay of the enlisted men. Of tbe officers there are 10 colcaels of cav airy. 10 lieutenant. colonels, 90 majors and lsO captains. In the artillery there are colonels, 4 lieutensnt-colonels, l5 majors and 60 captains. In the infantry there are so colopels, 20 ieu.enant-colonels, % ma )ors and 250 captains. Of the general off, cers there are l general, lieutenant general, three major-generais and briga- dier generals.
