man had laid down The Office which no man
can take up, for the title of General dies
with him. The Generals and the staff were
all in citizens dress. The only officers pres
ent in uniform were a few of the artillery,
who had been detailed to attend the funeral
of Young officer, and who stopped on the
way 10 pay their respects TO their departing
and their coming chief. The marvellous uni
form of the staff. a curious and tasteful com
bination of the pickelhaub, the horse tail
plume and the gold cord of the German and
French armies, which Generals Sheridan
and Sherman brought back with them from
Europe, was not visible. Our citizen SOL
diers made the transfer of their trust in a SIM
pie way, which would surprise Imperial courts.
Gen. Sheridan. having been invested with
command, took for moment Gen. Sher-
mans seat, but he did not seem disposed TO
keep it long IN the latter's presence. The
officials of the department crowded in TO
exchange salutations, and few moments
afterward Gen. Sherman took bis crumpled
SLOUGH hat and well-worn military cloak,
and said, Come, Sheridan, let's go and see
the President and the two Commanders
went to pay their respects TO the commander
in-Chief In this simple way did Gen. Sheri-
dan assume command of the Army of the
United States, and in this modest manner
did Gen. Sherman step down into the ranks
of private life.
General Sherman takes with him to his
retirement the good wishes Of the American
people. An old army officer says that the plan
of reorganization Ct the army, which Gen
eral Sherman leaves as legacy TO General
Sheridan, is the best plan which General
Sherman has ever suggested, and that it
certainly ought to receive the attentive con-
sideration of Congress. Under it, without
the addition of a single officer to the lists,
as General Sherman puts it, 'by the mere
scratch Of pen and the magic wand of
money" the skeleton could be extended to
the respectable force of 10000 men," 1t is
not known whether General Sheridan APP
proves of this plan or not. but Congress is
not likely 10 enter upon any system Of army
reorganization in the winter before Presi-

THE CHINESE INVASION.

We hear that proposition has
been made to the Government by a
Chinese Company that they will fur
nish all the Chinese laborers wanted,
from 1000 to 5000, for terms of
three years, renewable for two years
more, at rate of wages which has
not transpired. At the end of the
five years those that wish to return
would be sent back, aud their places
supplied by new ones.
If an engagement like that could
be formed with responsible party
it would be probably the best thing
that could happen for the sugar and
rice planting interests. The supply
could be kept up to meet the de-
mand, and could be arranged to
work like a machine. 1t would be
well though to make u bargain com
pelling all of them to return at the
expiration of the three or five years
contract, so that the actual number
in the country would not increase.
1t is rs we'll to consider, too, the eX-
pressed views of the Planters, that
Chinese labor Is tue best, when it
does not cost over $40 to $12 a
month.
We have stated before that we
have heard that the Portuguese Con-
sui and Commissioner, Mr.. Cana
varro, has written to his Govern
ment, advising them in case this
large importation of Chinese con-
tinues, to forbid the emigration of
any more Portuguese subjects, on
the grounds that they would not be
required as laborers.
1t therefore is a matter of the
greatest Importance that this i'm
portation of Chinese should be
arranged in some definite and dcsira-
bic manner. We do not want the
country flooded with Chinese males
who come here to stay, we do not
want to lose the ultimate benefits of
the Portuguese repopulation, and we
want cheap labour to make our
plantations pay, and our country
prosperous.
If the present ministry succeed in
dealing with this question so as to
arrange it leaving the minimum Of
discomfort in the public mind they
will have earned the gratitude of the
country that will wipe out the re-
collection of many past acts.

Hawaiian Ferns. From it we gather
that there are 149 varieties on these
islands. 10 the fern. collector and
enthusiast, it will, no doubt prove
Invaluable but the mind in search of
relaxation will not, we opinc, find
much in statements such as this
"Sori marginal, varying in shape
from globosc to linear, usually
numerous aud distinct, sometimes
continent and continuous" Still we
think that if Others were to he found

their knowledge on the fora and
fauna Of the islands we should all
