Military Mad.

Nashville Letter New Orleans Tines
The result of the late competitive
drill has beyond all doubt completely
turned the heads of the Porter Rifles
and their numerous friends and ad.
mirers. In truth, the worthy NASH
Williams seemed suddenly to have gone
military mad. Woe unto the hereto
who still shouts for the Cresceuts. A
man is now judged by his loyalty 10 the
conquering heroes.
No doubt is expressed, whatever
may be felt, in regard to the result of
the coming drill at Louisville, where
it is tacitly understood the Chickasaw
Guards and Porter Rifles will measure
strength and settle once and forever
the superiority of one over the other.
A large amount has been raised,
and the Porters will go into camp on
Monday. The Rifles and their friends
now openly declare that they will beat
the Chicks" and as for the Crescent
Rifles, they will in future be obliged
to take a back seat.
Several prominent and influential
Nashville men have forwarded a me
mortal to President Garfield asking
for the appointment of Captain Ruger,
of the Porter Rifles, to a second lieu
tenancy in the regular army. The
seventeen hundred dollars which the
Porters received a few days since will
be devoted to the purpose Of building
an armory for the company.

The large amount of idle capital at
the various leading financial centers
is a prominent topic among business
men. Among banks of New York, BOs-
ton and Philadelphia interest rates
have declined on all large and sub
sMtantial investments, and many believe
the decline to be permanent. The
current rates in the cities named are
from 3 to 5 per cent on business paper
of various classes, and lower on some
classes of collaterals, In western
cities from 5 to 6 and occasionally Z
per cent is the ruling rate. Here 8
per cent with a quiet market and an
ample supply of money continues to
be quoted.
Exchange is quiet at par to sc dis
count for eastern cotton bills, and sc

western cities. New Orleans rates re,

A Bachelors suggestions AbOu
Babies.


New Orleans Picayune.l
Why not put the baby in a bag at
once and be done with it2 Well, why
not? We are sure that the helpless
little creatures would feel far more
comfortable tied up in the awkward
bags than they do now tied up 10 the
awkward bundles known as baby
clothes" These bags should be roomy,
of course, with a draw string at the
top and another at the bottom. No
embroidery-no %rufles, sleeves? Yes,
Just as much embroidery and Just as
much ruffie' as you please, but no
sleeves, unless the bag is made to open
behind The fashion of dislocatiDg
a baby's shoulder by bending back
the little arm to force it into the
sleeve OF a garment made to open in
front, is both useless and cruel. No
wonder the little things scream and
kick when they are being dressed.
Talk about a dress reform in baby
clothes; that is most needed. and if a
fashionable mother could be found
brave enough to tie up her baby in
dainty bags during the winter months,
all the other mothers in the land
would rise up and call her-a silly
goose. But they would follow the
fashionl There would be another ad-
vantage in dressing in bags, which
wise mammas would not be slow to
discover-nursing would be easy fol
papa. Men do make so many excuse;
when they are asked to "hold the baby
a minute" but the most prevalent
excuse of all, "Oh, I'll get his clothe,
all musSed upl' would be out OF ordeI
if they could carry the baby in a bag
The baby could not get out of it
neither could papa.
