GEN. BENET, Chief of Ordnance of
the United States army, in his annual
report to the Secretary Of War, makes
recommendation which, if adopted,
would give great impetus to the mill
tary spirit of the country. He recon-
mends that further legislation be asked
of Congress on the subject Of officers
detailed and arms furnished to the col
leges of the country, and expresses the
belief that the provision of arms, and
officers as instructors in their use, would
make these institutions important in
view of the influence they would exer-
else over the militia, and in keeping
alive the military spirit of the nation.

DIR. QUACKENBos, in his interesting
work on Ancient Literature, Oriental
and Classical says chat of more
than 100000 words, which constitute our
present vocabulary, but 5000 are in
common use. The Old Testament was
translated with the help Of only 5,642
English words. While Shakspeare's
genius required $1,000 words for it's ex-
preston, Millions epic employs less than
half that number" DR.. Quackenbos
also states that the number of different
languages now spoken on the earth is
about 900.

When the Woods Turn Rrow

When the Woods Turn Brown.
How will it be when the roses fade
Out of the garden and out of the glade ?
When the fresh pink bloom Of the sweet-briel
wild.
That leans from the dell like the cheek of a
child,
Is changed for dry hips on a thorny bush?
Then. scarlet and carmine, the groves will flush
How will it be when the autumn flowers
Wither away from the leahess bowers:
When sun-hower and star-fower and golden-rod
Glimmer no more from the frosted sod.
And the hillside hooks are empty and cold p
Then the forest-tops will be gay with gold.
How will it be when the woods turn brown
Their gold and their crimson all dropped down.
And crumbled to dust p
Oh then, as we lay
Our ear to earth's lips, we shall hear her say
: In the dark [ am seeking new gems for my
crown:"-
We will dream of green leaves when the woods turn
brown. Et

The Scientific american has an ar

Fresh meat exported increased from
5000 tons in 1876 to $4,000 tons in 1877,
and the business is yet in its infancy.
Besides, fresh beef, oysters, fruit, but

company in Delaware has gone into the
business of making English plum -pud-

Fashion Notes.

Petticoats are founced to the waist in
the back.
Short jackets are worn as outside
garments.
The beef-eater and the jockey are
new London hats.
Pearls bid fair to be more fashionable
than diamonds.
Brocatelle and satin stripes are among
silk novelties.
The new color in undyed cloth is a
natural stone color, or yellow gray.
Fancy runs riot in caps, which are
made of handkerchiefs, pieces of India
shawls and all sorts of materials, trimmed
with ribbons of every color and descrip-
ton.
Heavy camel's hair cloth, with much
hair or fleece cropping out on the SUR
face, is much used for composite cos
tunes with American suits. Such cos
tunes are short. -..a-.-aa~.s~e .~.s.
The Queen says that "boots will not
be worn this winter except for long
walks or in wet weather; for carriage
wear and calls shoes and silk stockings
are de rigueatr."
The latest fancy in stockings is for
white polka dots in silk embroidery on
black silk feet and legs, while the toes,
heels and the upper half of the leg of
the stocking are white.
Ermine will be used this winter in
trimming bodices and the revers that
adorn the turned-back sides of polo
naises and robe over-dresses, showing
the deliberately trimmed underskirt.
The Parisians wear their short cos
tunes much shorter than New York
women do, and have, in addition, a fash
ion for looping them up directly in the
back, showing about two inches of the
white or colored petticoat.
The English country-coat for ladies'
wear is an ulster, with large cape at
tached, which may be drawn up into a
hood with a ribbon, tying under the
chin, thus affording complete protec-
/ ton to the head and neck. rtu ii
One OF the newest London fashions is
revival of the old long Chesterfield
mans coat for women's wear. It may
be worn with skirt of the same ma
terial or another, according to fancy. It
has pockets at the waist and simulated
ones at the back-Neav York Sam.

POSTAL cards give rise to peculiar
troubles. A Rochester lumber dealer
mailed card to discharged clerk, ac-
cusing him of swindling, and the clerk
has obtained $3.50 damages, based on
the publicity of the charge while pass
ing through the mails. A similar case
is on trial at Pittsburgh, the plaintiff
being a sewing machine agent, to whom
his employer addressed an accusation
of improperly retaining money. An
Omaha clergyman publishes card COM
planning that he frequently receives ad-
vertisements of wine printed on postal
cards, and, as he is total abstainer
from strong drink, the impression might
be wrongfully created that he is buyer
of the wine. A Boston landlady sends
bills on postal cards to former boarders,
accompanied by urgent requests for
payment. One of the recipients began
suit against her for libel, but with
drew it, his lawyer advising him that, as
the communication was a simple request
to pay just debt, he had no legal
grievance. A Kansas City girl Tilted
her lover, and he retaliated by writing
her amorous letters on postal cards.
She did not invoke the law, but put a
rawhide in her pocket, lay in wait for
her annoyer, and whipped him.

Harmon VS.. PaIomares.

EDITOR HERALD: L see by the
papers that certain parties in the
Third Supervisorial District are de.
termined, by fair means or foul, to
defeat for Supervisor J. G. Harmon,
the present very efficient incum.
bent. From conversations held
with several Of the parties who op.
pose him, 1 find that there is inva.
riably personal motive at the
bottom. 1 believe there is not one
voter in the District opposed tc
Harmon from purely patriotic mo.
tives.
A meeting was held at Pomona
sometime since, and advertised in
the Star, calling upon Pancho
Palomares to offer himself for The
office. The transaction was seem
ingly genuine and legitimate yet
it will not bear investigation. The
"large and enthusiastic meeting -
was hOthih6 hOAO thau very
quiet affair, gotten up by few Re-
publicans for the purpose of put
ting second Democrat in the
field to enable them to run in a
man of their own. The name of
the prime mover does not appear
in the newspaper account, but the
Chairman of the meeting is q
staunch Radical, and the Secretary
was the Republican candidate for
Representative at the last election.
This fact alone shows the animus
of the whole transaction, and any
Democrat who allows himself to
be prejudiced against J. G. Harmon
by such transparent tricks is un-
worthy of the name.
Now, a word to friend Pancho.
If he allows himself to be used by
we'll known enemies of his party
for the purpose Of defeating one
who, by tacit consent, at least, is
the regular Democratic candidate,
he will show himself up In the
light of cats paw, and can never
again hope to be recognized by his
party. JUSTICE.

Some Qualifications.

The following graphic narrative
appeared in the Express of the
other evening:
There was to have been wed.
ding at the Morning Glory saloon,
on Los Angeles street, the other
evening. A certain gay and glori.
Gus young hack driver. known as
"ROxie," had become deeply en-
amored of nynaphe du pave. He
had proposed and had been accept
ed, and there was nothing left to
complete the happiness of the two
except the tying of the sacred knot.
It was arranged that this should
take place at the aforementioned
saloon on the evening in question.
Previously, however, "Roxie" re.
ceived from his lady-love small
purse, with which to defray the
necessary wedding expenses, such
as purchasing suit of clothes,
taking out a license, feeling mag
istrate, etc. All these things he
did up to the letter of the law.
When the appointed time arrived
considerable assemblage gathered
in the room to see the thing done,
and Justice Trafford was on hand
to lend it the due form and solem-
nifty of the law. But the BRIDE
groom came not. The expectant
bride was arrayed in her Wedding
costume and waited but too impa-.
tiently for him, but she waited in
vain. There was no Roxie. With
prime new suit of clothes upon
his person and superfiuous mar
riage license in his pocket, he had
gone on that bum whence no BRIDE
groom was ever known to return.
Judge Trafford and the company
and the would-be bride were greatly
disappointed.
We have been waited upon by
the Roxie aforesaid, who begs US to
say that the only portion of the
foregoing Indictment to which he
owns up is that which refers to the
"bum," but he insists that tAe
bum" antedated the whole Trans
action. He denies, with indigna.
ton, having been entrusted with
any money whatever by the lady
above referred to. Returning So
briefly made Roxie change his
mind about matrimony-simply
that and nothing more. AS RoxIe's
body has been pierced by Apache
bullets, and he was for years y galz
liant mail carrier on the hazardous
route between Arizona and New
Mexico, we deem it only fair to
give him the benefit of his indig-
nant disclaimer.
