General Myer's Successor.


 The question of the appointment of a new chief signal officer to succeed General Myer must soon receive the consideration of the President. The service is a peculiar one part of the permanent army establishment, in time of peace it is employed in civil duties of great practical value and growing import ance. The temper of the country has been ascertained on the suggestion of the Ameri- can Association for the Advancement of Science to transfer the meteorological duties to the Treasury or Interior Departments, and it is recognized that the people want no change which might, in releasing it from military discipline, prove disastrous to its usefulness. The signal service Is special service and it's duties require special study, as do the duties of the engineer or ordinance corps. The subject of practical meteorology is one requiring years of intelligent study, and proper application Of it's principles to the local weather conditions of the United States can only be acquired bp long expert ence. This knowledge to-day is only pos sessed by the officers of the signal corps. The selection of chief officer should not be made as reward for military services, how ever brilliant. Such appointment would not deserve the confidence of the cotAtry and would in time react on the organization itself Here is an important opportunity for the President to illustrate his views, which heraIded the advent of his administrations, on the reform of the civil service of selecting for the succession some one of the officers who have proved their competency by years of successful work, who are conversant with the details and present needs of the service and whose intelligent labor greatly aided the genius of General Myer in perfecting it. The signal service depends for its reputation and for generous support from the people on it's recognized value as pecuniary aid to the commercial, agricultural and other great industrial interests of the country, and such interests rather than the purely military should be consulted in the selection of the new chief signal officer.

A Bangor, Maine taxidermist has lately stuffed 8 woodcock that has a breast pierced by twig from side to side. These birds fly in the night and this specimen probably flew swiftly against the twig and was, stabbed; as it did not pierce the vital part, the bird lived and the wound healed up, but the presence of the twig in the birds breast stunted it's growth somewhat The bird is mounted with the twig still in it's breast and extending about two inches on each side

 Postmaster-GeneralM Maynard has taken a commendable step in regard to rum-selling establishments which will, if he is sustained, drive large number away from the vicinity of the public buildings and grounds in Wash ington. The law of the District concerning the licensing of rum shops is With every application for license there must be present ed the written permission of majority of the owners of real estate and majority of the residents keeping house on the side of the square where it is desired to locate such business, and on the side of the square opposite the same and, if corner house, with an opening on two streets, he shall have signers on both streets.' In spite of this plain law, licenses had been issued for several saloons opposite the Postoffice de- pertinent, and to several directly in face of the rooms of Postmaster General Maynard. He at once claimed that as the government owned the whole square opposite these rum holes a license could not be granted under the law unless the authorities of the depart ment signed the petition for license. He therefore protested to the President against the action of the board, and the question has been carried before Attorney General Devens. The decision is awaited with great interest by the better class of Washington's citizens, who have long been much annoyed by the marked increase of saloons. It is publicly stated that three hundred saloons are now in full blast whose proprietors have not even applied for a license. There are probably hundred opposite government property that would be immediately closed if the law was enforced.
