The annual report OF w. T. Sherman, gen.

viii venture to call your attention to the fact
that the revised statutes, edition of 1878, Sec

ton OF the army, limits It's strength to mot
moro than 80, 900 enlisted men, but subse-
quent appropriation bills by proviso have linn
tied the expenditures to 25,G00 enlisted men.
Still tho legal strength is $4,000 enlisted men;

It was last year, composed OF ten regiments OF
cavalry, i've OF artillery and twenty-five of

convinced that the proposed increase OF enlist

Sleeping Draughts.

An English doctor, writing about
sleep and sleeplessness, observes that
the state narcotics producei is not sleep,
but condition of narcotism that coun-
terfeits sleep, adding: "When a man
says, I want quiet night, I will take a
sleeping draught,' he speaks in para
bles. To express the fact plainly, he
should say, Il want quiet night; lean
not obtain it by going to sleep, or am
afraid to trust to the chances of natural
rest, so I will poison myself little, just
enough to make me unconscious, or to
slightly paralyze my nerve centers, not
enough to kill If this fact could be
kept clearly before the mind, the reck-
less use of drugs which produce a state
that mocks sleep would be limited"
The state of inaction which is brought
about by natural sleep is very different
from that which is produced by paraly-
sis of any degree.

WHY Aunt Sallie Never Married.

"Now, Aunt Sallie, do please tell us
why you never got married. You re-
member you said once that when you
were girl you were engaged to min
lister. and promised us you would tell
us about it sometime. Now, aunt,
please tell u.s."
"Well, you see, when I was about II
years old L was living in Utica, in the
State of New York. Though I say it
myself, I was quite good-looking girl
then, and had several beaux. The one
that took my fancy was young minis
ter. very promising young man, and
remarkably pious and steady. He
thought good deal of me, and kind
of took a fancy to him, and things went
on until we were engaged. One even
ing he came to me, and put his arms
around me, and kind of Rugged me,
when I got excited and some frustrated.
1t was long time ago, and I don't
know but what I might have Rugged
back little. I was like any other
girl, and pretty soon I pretended to be
mad about it, and pushed him away,
though I wasn't mad bit You must
know the house where I lived was in
one of the back streets in the town.
There were glass doors in the parlor,
which opened over the street. These
doors were drawn to. 1 stepped back
a little from him, and when he came up
close I pushed him back again. I
pushed him harder than intended to;
and don't you think, girls. the poor
fellow lost his balance, and fell through
one of the doors into the street."
ooh, auntyl Was he killed?"
"No; he fell head-first, and, as he was
going, [ caught him by the legs of his
trousers. held on for minute and
tried to pull him back, but his Suspend
ers gave way, and the poor young man
fell clear out of his pantaloons into a
parcel of ladies and gentlemen along
the street"
ooh! auntyl aunty! Lordy!"
"There, that's right; squat and giggle
as much as you want to. Girls that
can't hear little thing like that with
out tearing around the room and he
he-ing in such way don't know enough
to come IN when 1t rains. A nice time
the man that marries one of you will
have, won't he? Catch me telling you
anything again"
"But, Aunt Sallie, what became of
him? Did you ever see him again?"
"No; the moment he touched the
ground he got up and left that place in
a terrible hurry. I tell you it was
sight to be remembered. How that
man did rum He went out West, and
I believe he is preaching outin Illinois.
But he never married. He was very
modest, and suppose he was SO badly
frightened that time that he never
dared trust himself near a woman again.
That, girls, is the reason why I never
married. I felt very bad about it for
long time-for he was real good man,
and I've often thought to myself that
we should have been very happy if his
suspenders hadn't given way"

Why Kangaroo!

Mr.. auckland tells a curious story
about the naming of the animal we
know as the kangaroo. When Capt.
Cook discovered Australia, he saw some
of the natives on the shore with a dead
animal of some sort in their possession,
and sent sailors in a little boat to buy it
of them. When it came on board he
saw that it was something quite new, SO
he sent the sailors back to inquire its
name. The sailors asked, but, not be-
ing able to make the natives understand,
received the answer, II don't know" or,
in the Australian language, "Kan-ga-
roo" The sailors supposed this was
the name of the animal, and so reported
it. Thus the name of that curious ami
nal is the "I-don't-know,' which is al
most equal to the name given to one Of
the monstrosities in Barnum's Museum
the "What-is-it."

lie IS Snuozev Her Hand.

An Ohio merchant tells the following
story about himself. Where he lives is
a secret, except that it is not a mile and
a half from the Xenia Court House:
when I was about II years old
made trip to Cleveland in the
old-fashioned stage coach, with it's
spanking four horses. At Mount Yer
non, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
pretty girl came on board. She sat
on the back seat, next to an elderly
fa,mer-like looking man. was on the
middle sect Immediately in front of her.
soon struck up pleasant chat with
her. She was charming talker, and
almost as brilliant as she was pretty.
It looked as if we were mutually pleased.
When dark came I concluded there
would be no harm in giving her hand
squeeze by way of feeler. I reached
behind and got hold of the hand. I
was little startled at the hardness, but
it returned a vise-like pressure. I
squozed again and it squoze back. A
sense of disappointment would steal
over me when in my mind would con-
trast the seeming toughness of her hand
With the tenderness and sweetness of
her voice. The contrast did not seem
to arterialize my blood quite up to the
point of exhilaration. At last she
reached her destination and left the
coach. After we had started again that
old rooster who sat beside her addressed
me thusly:
&'Young man, do you feel all right2
You had nice time Juggling at my old
paw for the last five miles; hope you
enjoyed it.
"The two young ladies on the front
seat giggled all the way to the next sta
ton, and the gentlemen passengers
didn't forget to smile when I looked up.
I have been more successful since in
that line"

My DEAR HARRY: Ihave your letter
here this morning. I inclose you an

London by this post ordering three
dozen sherry, two dozen port, and three
dozen light claret to be sent down to
you.
Now, observe attentively. We must
have no shadow of debt. Square up
everything whatsoever that it has been
necessary to buy. Let not farthing
be outstanding on any account when
we begin together with your allowance.
Be particular in the minutest detail.
wish to have no secrets from you in
the relations we are about to establish
together, and I therefore send you Joe
Chitty's letter bodily. Reading it, you
will know exactly what know, and will
understand that I treat you with per-
feet confidence. 1t appears to me that
an allowance of e250 year will be
handsome for ali your wants, If send
you your wines. mean this toinclude
your tailor's bills as well as every other
expense, andI strongly recommend you
to buy nothing but the clothes with
which your tailor provides you. AS
soon as you have got your furniture &C.
counts in, let us wipe all those prelimi-
nary expenses clean out, and I will then
send you your first quarter. We will
count in it October, November and
December, and your second quarter will
begin with the new year. If you dis
like at first taking charge of so large a
sum as 962 40s, you can have your
money from me half-quarterly.
You know how hard I work for what
get, and think you know that never
had money-help from any human Great
ure after I was child. You know that
you are one of many heavy charges on
me, and that [ trust to your SO exercis-
ing your abilities and improving the adj
vantages of your past expensive educa-
ton as soon to diminish this charge. I
say no more on that head.
Whatever you do, above all other
things keep out of debt and confde in
me. If you ever find yourself on the
verge of any perplexity or difficulty
come to me. You will never find me
hard with you while you are manly and
truthful.
AS your brothers have gone away one
by one, have written to each of them
what I am now going to write to you.
You know that you have never been
hampered with religious forms of re-
straint, and that with mere unmeaning
forms 1 have no sympathy. But most
strongly and affectionately impress upon
you the priceless value of the New Tesla
ment, and the study of that book as the
one unfailing guide in life. Deeply re-
speeding it, and bowling down before
| the character of our Savior as separated
from the vain constructions and inven-
tions of men, you cannot go very wrong,
and will always preserve at heart true
spirit OF veneration and humility. SINH
larly I impress upon you the habit OF
saying a Christian prayer every night
and morning. These things have stood
by me all through my life, and remem-
Der that I tried to render the New Tes-
lament ineligible to you, and Iovable
by you when you were mere baby.
And so God bless you.
Ever your afectionate Father.

"Now, Mr.. Wade, you must do US a

The Bear Walked AWAY.

An Irishman of Montana was work
ing placer mine, few miles from
Bear Gulch, and visited that place one
day to get his tools sharpened. Just
as he was about to start back some one
told him that if he would go home by
the way of Sour Krout gulch he could
not miss his way, and would save several
miles of walking.
Pat started out, but after travelling
several miles the sun was almost down,
and he had seen nothing THAR looked
familiar. At last he made up his mind
that he was lost, and, to use his own
words, feared he would be robbed and
murdered intirely all alone"
While he was in this state of mind he
spied a cinnamon bear Oh sne side OF
the mountain, and was almost ready to
fall to the ground with fright. Recov-
ering his self-possession little, he said
81 thought it wouldn't do to let the
bear think I was afraid of him, and con-
Guided I might intimidate him by max
ing him think there were siveral of me.
So, walking a little faster, I called out
as loud as liver I could, 'Mikel Oh say,
Mike, hould on bit till I catch up wild
We and the rest O the b'ys.' When the
bear heard that he walked away and
said not word"
