Passing to eternal rest
On the loving parent breast.

The Amy has $50 officers abroad.
In India a sufficient number of ma
tives have joined the army to provide
interpreters in the most prevalent
languages of the principal cities: and
the work has been, with the excep-
ton OF e1OO or s2OO, entirely supper
ted by funds raised in India. The
growth of the army in the Australian
colonies has been the marvel of the
year. Twelve months ago there were
only some three or four corps estab-
lished in South Australia. Now, in
the four Australian colonies and in
New Zealand the army has twenty
four corps. under some forty officers.
Half a dozen buildings have been
erected or purchased. The English

The Line of Speakers.

Kentucky has been almost as much
a mother of Speakers as Virginia OF
Presidents. Carlisle is the fourth
from that State to be called to the
chair. No state has furnished more
than that number of speakers, and
when the aggregate time of service is
considered, nc other state has so dis
| tinguished a record. Henry Clay
was the presiding officer of six differ
ent Cong resses. Another distin-
| guished Kentuckian, Lynn Boyd,
presided over two CONGRESSES, and
John White over one. The Blne
Grass State has thus already had the
speakership for eighteen years, and
Saturday nights vote in Washing
ton assures her anOthe. term. Since
the organization Of Congress in 1889,
there have been twenty-nine speakers
of the House Next to Kentucky,
Virginia has been represented the
oftenest and the longest in the chair,
furnishing four speakers, three of
whom were reelected. Massachu-
sets has also furnished four speak
ers, their terms aggregating ten
years. Three speakers have been
chosen from Pennsylvania, and three
from the Indiana delegation. Ohio
has furnished but one sDeaker-Kei-
fer. The occupants of the chair who
have served through three or more
Congresses are Nathaniel Macon, of
North Carolina, three terms; Henry
Clay, OF Kentucky, six terms; An
drew Stevenson, of Virginia, four
Samuel J. Randall, of Penn
.yluania, three terms; James G.
