NO INVESTIGATION NEcEss AIRY.

The Secretary OF the Navy Declines to
Grant Lieut. Caldweil's Request for n
Court Martial.
The secretary of the navy has doclin ed to
grant the request of Lieut.. Com. A. G.. Cald-
we'll, now commanding the United States
steamship Pinta, for trial by court martial
to establish his innocence of all responsibility
for the torpedo explosion at Newport, r. l.,
in August Of 1881, by which accident Lieut..
Com. b. L. Edes and Lieut. l.. G. Spaldng
lost their lives. The action of tho department
is based on the ground that the case has
already been thoroughly investigated and
does not call for further notice. Lieut.. Com.
Caldwell's request was based on articles pub
lishod in several newspapers, reviving tho
circumstances of the accident and implying
that certain officers, among them Lieut.. Com.
Caldwell, were in measure responsible for
tho accident Tho court of inquiry which
investigated the accident at the time repo rtcd
that no blame could be attached to the Off
GERS concerned in the experiments in progress,
and that it was not a case calling for further
action.

The postofice department has instructed
tho postmaster at San Francisco to ratio up
tho smuggled Chinese letters recently seized
on the City of Toxic at 10 cents per letter, as
provided by tho postal union treaty. The
postmaster general at Hong Kong will also
bo informed of tho seizure, in order that he
may take measuresdo save the largo amount
of revenue lost to his Office by these smuggling
operations, While little or no revenue is
lost to this country by letters smuggled into
it, postal officials believe that the practice
obtains to some extent on outgoing steamers.

will bo taken to guard against letters being

CHANGE OF TIME.
Opinion OF the Attorney General Ina Re-
gard TO the Matter.


The attorney general, in reply to the cir
cular letter of the secretary of the navy to
the heads of all the departments of the gov
ernment in regard to tho adoption of tho
seventy-fifth meridian as the standard of
time, has given an opinion that the proposed
change is open to gra We objection, and cannot
be properly effected except by congressional
action. He holds that, if the change should
be made by an executive order only, it might
be considered by many merely an optional
change, and would therefore be open to many
possible difficulties. The attorney general
makes the point that congress has provided
for the hours of labor in all the executive
departments on the basis of time reckoned
from the meridian of Washington, and to mako
any change or alteration in these hours, such
as would be required under the proposed new
time standard, would be an assumption of
the prerogative of congress. 1t is not likely
that final action will be had on this question
before the return Of Secretary Chandler, who
is expected in Washington during the present
week,

My baby's eyes, in melting blue,
Are bcnming bright as morning dew,
And from the skylight tkes hue,
Or like the starlight clear and true.
MY baby's eyes, in liquid roll,
Enhance my world from pole to pole,
And love sits smiling in that goal,
Forever speaking to my soul.
My babys eyes, in other years,
May fiji with many scalding tears;
And yet through cruel taunts and jeers
a mothers love will Danish fears.

Those glorious orbs in grief or gloom,
Shall be to me In dearth or doom -

Report OF Surgeon General or the Navy.
Surgeon General Wales of tho navy in his
annual report says that the present system of
annual statistical exhibits of the health of
the navy began with the report issued in
1880, and that uniform system Of tabulation
has now been perfected which will, in few
wears afford u valuable mass of facts bearing
upon the geographical distributions of disease
and its relation to age, food clothing, and the
altogether exceptional nature of the floating
habitations in which IL occurs,
The tabulated reports already issued under
the present system cover 5i,6i6 cases, an ag-
grogate as yet too small, in the opinion of tho
surgeon general, for advantageous condensa-
ton as for IA statement of general results.
He recommends that the medical departments
Of the great naval powers be invited to q con-
ference with view to tho adoption of uni
form nomenclature, classification, and tabula-
ton Of diseases and, MS we'll, of system in
terchange of periodical reports of the move
ment of disease, from which international re-
ports of sanitary conditions all over tho world
may be published at stated intervals
Tho surgeon general advances tho opinion
that tho present naval hospital system no

sanitary science for the buildings are eligibly

PARIS, September II.
When the Comte dc Paris went to Frohsdori in
1879, l had some conversation with NJ. Thiers on
the subject. That clear-headed Statesman SAID t.
me: "He has dishonOred himself and viii not reap
any political advantage from his visit TO the head OF
the elder branch. His father. the Duc dOrleans
baaueathed him principle to which his mother, the
late Duchesse d0rleans, chung, and he should have
respected scrupulousy There is the force Of back
bone in a principle, even though it may be bad
one. This force the C0mte de Paris has lost. The
Comte de Chambord will never yield an inch. He
will stand by his flag TO the last hour of his lie
and Royalty will die with him"
This conversation took place In the entresol OF
Nine. Ristons house in the Boulevard Maesherb es,
which lent to NJ. Theirs by its tenant, General,
Charlemagne while the Hotel Bagratlm was being
made ready for the aged statesman who had Just
been eyicted from power. At the time the hopes oil
the Fusonists were high, and the GALA carriages In
which the King, the Orleans family as Princes and
Prineesses of the Blood Royal, and the Count were
10 enter Paris in state were Actually in readiness.
Nevertheless time justified the provisions of Theirs.
and it goes on justifying them. The Comte de
Paris is without principle, aud Royalty has de-
scended to the grave with the Prince who had one
aud adhered inaexibly to it Articles published
three weeks ago in the Orleaaist Soie and FrGHeais
