sort of every day talk among the de-
partment clerks and subordinate ofla-
GERS of the army and navy here, aud IL
Is fair to suppose that the current Cos
sip of these underlings must represent
the views and designs of their less gar
rulous or more discreet superiors.
AS everybody knows, there Is not
the slightest necessity for permanent
garrison at Washington, aud no pre-
text can be made for one that will
stand the most casual scrutiny. There
is always force of marines at the navy
yard varying from $50 to $50, and 1t re-
quires about one company of infantry,
or battery of artillery equipped as In.
fantry, to guard and otherwise take
care of the ordnance stores of the arse
nal. Beyond this there Is no eartaly
occasion for the presence of single
soldier in Washington, and any at
tempt TO bring n larger force here Is
bound to be unmasked at the outset.
In addition to the before mentioned
forces, there arc always four or five
monitors, with from half to threa-quar-
ter crews on board, and all the way
from one to half a dozen of the smaller
cruisers of our navy fully manned, ~
ing in the East Branch or at the navy
yard docks; so that for all legitimate
purposes the regular military and
naval force always here Is more than
sufficient. The proposition to add q
thousand or more regulars and create
a permanent garrison just on the eve
of a Presidential election is, therefore,
little less than a meditation of treason,
and will be SO regarded by Congress.

When Ellen Tree, afterward Mrs.
Charles Kean, was visiting France
some years ago, one of tho custom
house officers was proceeding to ex-
anime her trunk for contraband goods.
"Contraband goods" exclaimed a
bystander. "Whoever heard of con-
traband goods in the trunk of n tree ?"
OF course the joke was lost on tho
Frenchman, but Miss Tree laughed
till she cried.

In his reception speecl, to Gen Grant,
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, per-
petrated joke that was not down in
the bills and must have produced IL
in the mind OF the
General. Drawing "a parallel between
Washington and Grant as to thcr
military career and two terms in tho
Presidency, he said that Washington
was offered a crown, but preferred
Immortality and fame to temporary
power. Then, turning to Grant, hc
continued: "You, too, sir, when your
two terms were over, obeycd that part
of your country's unwritten traditions,
hallowed by the example of tho i'm.
mortal Washington, and you, too, re-
tired, and you, too, will live forever in
your countrymcn's hearts" The third
termers listened in blank amazement
to this splendid burst Of audacity, this
cool assumption that Grant would obey
the unwrittcn constitution aud follow
tho example Of Washington.

1t is said that Mr.. Jay Gould has
now control of over twenty lines OF
railroad, embracing some Of
Ing from New York to San Franeisco.
He has recently gotten control Of tho
Missouri Pacific and st. Louis, and
San Francisco, and is now trying to
control the st. Louis, Iron Mountain
aud Southern. by buying up these
links he seeks to cut OF all competition
with the Pacific coast, and to defeat
any schcmo entertained by Col. Scott
for building rival line from Texas to
the Pacific. It is suspected that q So
orst understanding exists between Mr..
Gould and Vanderbilt, and probably
also with Mr.. Garrett of the Baltimore
aud Ohio. The belief is that these
three magnates mean to control all the
railroad property in the country. Mr..
Vanderbilt is to run all the Eastern
roads to Chicago and other Western
points, and also those Northwest from
Chicago, as Is indicated by his getting
into the directory of the Chicago and
Northwestern, Gould making room for
him. Gould is also to permit Wander
bilt to gobble up the Erie and obtain
control of the Canada lines. In return,
Vanderbilt aids Gould In getting con-
troll of aaethe Western roads east of
California and the Pacific coast. Gould
will give his business in the East to
Vanderbilt, and Vanderbilt Is to give
the Western to Gould. The Baltimore
and Ohio Is to be allowed to control all
the Southern business, OH condition
not to compete for traffic north of tho
Ohio and Mississippi. The scheme is
the boldest ever attempted in this o.
any other country, and incredible as 1t
looks, the developments during tho
last few months seem to indicate that
it Is seriously entertained by the three
great magnates. ,.
The safe arrival Of the ship "Tem-
plar," at San Francisco, after dire
voyage, was duo to the brave conduct
and unfaItering devotion of Hiss Arm
strong, daughter of the Captain. When
off the Rio de In Plata the mate was
relieved for insubordination. About
the same time Captain Armstrong was
obliged to take to his bed again, leaving
the ship In command of tho second
officer. The second officer was u good
seaman, but not navigator, and Miss
Armstrong offered to navigate the ship
If he would take the observations.
This was done-the second mate, taking
| the sun, hurried below with his sext-
ant, and Miss Armstrong, weak and
debilitated as she was, worked up tho
latitude and longitude, doubled Cape
Horn, and finally brought the ship in
safety to the Farallones. Captain
Armstrong acknowledges that II IL
had not beon for his daughters indomi-
table will and perseverance tho "TenI-
plar" would never have reached the
Golden Gate.

but a man OF whom the South in particu-
liar ought to think very highly, and he re
"grets the South did not come to know him
