If the illustrated papers are correct, then
the English sodlery In Egypt are much to be pitied
on account OF the absurd equipments With which they
are loaded down. What with their helmets, cross
belts, side straps chin loops boxes, bugles, bangles,
and other useless rumpery, they look asuncomfortable

THE SIGNAL CORPs.--An effort was made
during the late session Congress TO have the Sig
nal Corps organized upon permanent basis, with Its
officers regularly appointed in tho Corps In tho same
manner as Is provided for In the En-
gIneer and Ordnance Corps. Whether by
reason of hearty support on the part OF
those in authority, because Congress did not get
to It, are not advised, but the scheme went over
with many other matters of similar Importance, and
1t is reported that there Is to he relief
mdSSs of all the officers engaged this duty,
excepting only those second lieutenants who were
promoted from its ranks. IL the lie true, 1t Is
greatly to be regretted not only account of the
vast public interests involved but also on account OF
the apparent injustice to number OF most faith
ful and merltOrlous officers, who for these many
years have abored early and late to place the service
upon Its present efficient basis. While the service Is
defective In that permauence In Its officers is not pro-
vded for. 1t is sIll very efficient, aud that has
done and Is doing great work for the agricultural,
scientific and commercial Interests OF the country.
The majority OF the Officers engaged on this duty
belong an of the service In which promotion is
| notorously slow. And the fact that they lieu
tenants OF from fifteen to seventeen years service In
grade, and that they have performed their duties
in the Corps for many years upon the pay of lieu
tenants should certainly be considered before depry-
Ing them of any benefit In the way Of promotion that
may be attanable when the service is permanently
organized That there plenty of other officers In
the Army who are capable of becoming Just as eifi-
Client those now employed on this duty we doubt
not but until they have had the proper training aud
| experience they certainly are not. When perma-
organization Is effected, then Of cours the whole
| Army should be allowed to compete for vacancies,
whether original by casualty, In the same way, and
subject to similar restrictions, as Is provided for In
| the Engineer and ordnance Corps; but In the FIRST
organization preference should be given to those mel
| who by their intelligence and energy have made thu
service Indispensable one to the commercial Inter
| esis OF the country.
