The army bin, as approved by the
President, contains q provision that
any cadet who graduates at West
Point may have the option OF receiv-
ing $3.50 in cash IL he will resign his
commission Immediately on gradual
ing. The provision was part OF the
original Burnside bill, which con-
templated considerable reduction
In the number Of army officers and
adopted this means OF inducing Ca
dets to resign. But as the new law
does not reduce the number OF officers
there Is no necessity OF offsring any
inducements to cadets to resign. On
the contrary. it is said there are thirty
more vacancies In the rank of second
lieutenant at the present time than
there are graduating cadets this year.
Thus we have the anomaly of the
government educating young men at
the military academy. at large ex-
pence and then Offering them bonus
to resign and leave vacancies for men
who perhaps have no military educa-
tion. The provision is a fair speci-

Ii the Sahara is Flooded, What Z

: The only important obi sction which
has thus far been urged against the
undertaking has arisen in the appre
tensions expressed by few scien-
fists that the evaporation produced
by SO large and SO shallow a body OF
water, exposed to a tropical sun,
would be sufficient to deluge North
ern Europe with incessant rains, and
to reduce materially the temperature
in all the countries north OF the Alps.
1t has even been feared that winds
freighted with moisture on crossing
the cold SUBMITS of the Alps. would
precipitate vast volumes OF water
and produce a degree OF cold which
would give Denmark and Northern
Germany a semi-Artic climate and
produce aglacial epoch farther north.
Is it not probable that allsuch appre-
tensions arise out of a misunder-
standing as to the topography OF the

ces are greater than any other country

slowed upon natures treasures, we
cannot fail in becoming the leading

A RELIC-We were shown to day at Jack
Perry's saloon singular relic of the fire, and
one which, on account of its beauty is of con-
siderable value to collector, or in fact any
one who had an lnterst in the town or in the
burnt district before the fire. This curiosity
consists of rather handsomely shaped bar
ber's cup, which had been so Auxed and
changed by the heat a. to look like lava
vase. Upon this cup has been cemented
fat slab of building stone, and in the stone
and projecting from it is piece of iron,
which has evidently melted partially, the
melted bart being absorbed by the porous
rock, and the whole cooling before the shape
of the rest of the iron could be destroyed.
The appearance of the affair is unique, and
from the shape of the cup, if we had been told
that it had come from the ruins of Pompeii,
it would not have been matter of the least
surprise, and We would have easily swallowed
the story of its disintsrment from classic soil.

STATE CONSTITUTIONS.

The thirty eight States in the Union have
made ninety seven Constitutions for them
selves, nearly three apiece. Colorado, Maine,
Massachusetts,, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon,
Rhode Island and Wisconsin have each had
only one Constitution. Georgia and Louisiana,
on the other hand, have had the most in num-
Der; Georgia having already adopted six Con
situations, while the present Convention, sit
ing at the State House, is the sixth that has
met in Louisiana. Kansas, however, would
appear to be the State hardest to please ia
the matter of Constitutions. 1t adopted one
in 1857; was not satisfied with this, tried an
other next year, in 1858, and still another in
1869, and in the summer of that same year
adopted several important amendments there
to. Kentucky is the only Southern State
whose Constitution stood the shock Of the
war Florida, Louisiana, Maryland and Mis-
sissippi are still living under Reconstruction
Constitutions The oldest State Constitution
in the Union is that of Massachusetts, adopt
ed in 1880 and still in force. New Hampshirs's
Constitution dates from 1892, Vernont's from
1898 and Connecticut's from 1918. The young
est Constitution is that of California, adopted
on the 9TH instant new Constitution is

war he commanded an Eastern reg iment, and
during an engagement he received a sabre
wound that was ultimately the cause of his
death. At the close of the war, he removed

Bryan. formerly of California, in the practice
of law. Becoming tired of Oregon, he re-
turned to Nevada, and arrived in Eureka early
in 1871, and prospscted the surrounding
country. Although holding Federal, and
other positions for years, he saved nothing
from his salary, and was in reduced circurn-
stances at the time of his death His son
