untess the three vacancies on The re-
tired list should be filled by the retire
ment of line officers. The class contains
forty four members. The vacancies are
thirteen in the infantry, seven in the
cavalry and four in the artillery. 1t is
expected that at least two of the gradu-
ates will be assigned as additionals in
the engineers corps. The retirement of
General Duane on June 30th will make
way for one of these.
PROMOTED FROM THE RANKS.
Eleven non-commissioned officers
have already passed their examinations
before department boards for promo
ton to be second lieutenants, and will
duly be examined before the final or
Fortress Monroe board, says the New
York Times. A very unusual fact is
the good fortune of the Seventh Cav
airy, which furnishes no less than three
out Of the eleven candidates. those be-
ing the first sergeants of Troop b,
Troop e and Troop G. The First Artil-
lery is also in luck, having two corpor-
ais in the list, one of Battery L and the
other of Battery G, the latter hiding
under the nom de guerre of Moses
A. Gray, the more distinctive one of
Zalinskl, he being in fact, brother of
the we'll known captain of the Fifth ar
tillery. The remaining candidates are
three sergeants of the Twelfth, Seven
teenth and EighJt enth Infantry,
and three corporals of the Seventh,
Fifteenth and Sixteenth. The success
of the other non commissioned officers
in securing promotions last year, when
the chances of vacancies looked desper-
ate, will leave little doubt, the present
year when the graduating class of West
Point is much smaller.

Tracklaying by Machine.

George Roberts, inventor of Roberts steam railroai track layer, has returned to Ellcnsburg, Washington Territory, from the Green River branch of the Northern Pacific, where practical test of the machine was made ia the presence of about 300 railroad men and spectators. Tho machine worked teyond the ex- pectations of the inventor and to his en- tiro satisfaction, the men laying at the rate of two and 0 half miles of track per day, and 1s men doing the work of 75 by the old way, It handled ties and rails of the heaviest kind-- in con- structing mountain roads--with tho greatest ease, placing them rapidly and accurately In position. The machine is so constructed that it can be used on any ordinary flat car, the motive power being an eight horse powor en zine. All construction material is moved on rollers from the rear to the front, where the machine takes up tn, rails and the ties, laying them very rapidly.
 Where the test was made the grade was steep aud difficult. The great sue cess attendia the trial has caused the Northern Pacific to secure the refusal of the first machine, and the inventor is now arranging for building two more machines to cost $12OO, aad the inventor receives royalty of $50 per miIe.--- [New York News.

Captured ill a Corn Crib,

A farmer who lives near Lakevillc, and whose house is just at the edge of the timber, captured 25 wi d turkeys in a novel way last winter. Every morning the farmer noticed wild turkeys around his corn crib, and, forgetting to shut the door once, he was surprised on go- ing to the crib to sec flock of turkeys run out and fly away.
 The next morning he put up job on the unsuspecting but hungry birds. He arranged a pulley, through which he passed thin rope, and attached one end to the door so it could be pulled shut from the other end. He concealed himself under pile of straw carly tho next morning, and before long the flock of turkeys came out of the woods straight to the corn crib aad entered it, when ho pulled on his rope, closed the door and caught the whole flock, num- bering 23.
 The old gohbler was beauty and the biggest ever seen in that locality. He weighed 27 pounds, was quite fat, and the beard-the tuft of hair which hangs down from the breast-was eight inches long. The beauty of his pIumage on the neck, wings and breast is inde- scribable. It glittcred with score of hucs of metallic lustre-gold, green, brown, purple, etc., and these tints cast rays like thoso which flash from the feathers of hummiag bird.--[St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Collection of Tiger Claws.

Mir. Binito Nichols, who recently re- turned from South America, has fine collection of tiger claws. They were shown to some friends in an uptown hotel the other evening, and most for mid weapons they were, too.
 These claws are likc fit, broad bono hooks, as sharp as knives and strong as steel. Some of the larger ones were an inch in diameter at the base, curving around to cutting point at the tip. With these fearful claws a full-grown tiger can slit man open as with rag or, or tear the clapb ands from horse or the hide from a wild bullock of the pampas. The most fcrocious of these South American tigers arc found In the timber groves along tho Parana river, In Paraguay, about eighteen miles from the Atlantic coast. Americans and Eu- ropeans shoot largo numbers of the beasts, but the Indians and other na- tives make regular business of killing them, and selling their magnificent skins. For stealthy, cold -blooded dev- iltry tho Paraguay tiger has no rival outside the New York lucket shops.-

Bismarck Cleared the Way,

Ia the article entitled "From Crave lotte to Sedan," by General Philip H. Sheridan, in Scribncr's Magazine, the following incident of rile which Sheridan took with Bismarck, after the battle of Gravelotte, is related: ''Our route led through the village of Gorge, and hero we found the streets so ob- structed with wagons that I feared it would take us the rest of the day to get through, for the teamsters would not pay the slightest heed to the cries of our positions. Tho Count was equal to the emergency, however, for taking a pistol from behind his cushion, and bidding me to keep my seat, he jumped out and quickly began to clear the street effectively, ordering the wagons to the right and left. Marching in front of the carriage and making way for us till VIC were we'll through the blockade he then resumed his seat, re- marking: This is not very digni- fed business for the Chan cellor of the German federation, but it's the only way to get throu 5h ,"

British Pensioners.

The English official class, who have moro respect for prec edent than almost anything else and have been taught from youth to look forward to a pension as the last and most desirable grip thoy can get upon the public treasury, are shocked and dumbfounded at the con- duct of Sir John Savill, who the other day sent in a note declining the diplo- matic pension of $s5oO year, to which his services entitle him. He is the first person on re cord in English annals to do such thing, and the reason he gave is equally puzzling to the monograph Ling Britisher, viz., that he didn't need the money. Sir John has been ''severe- ly criticised'' in the clubs and drawing rooms of Lond on, and it is thought that his mind is unbalanced. Englishmen have the highest authority for collaring every penny that comes in their way by the care with which the queen looks after the numerous small perquisites that attach to her office, if so it may be styled. Thus the Poet Laureate must send her a butt of wine every year, while the Keeper of Epping Forest, a nobleman who perhaps never sees the place from one years end to the other and who inherits the position from a long line of ancestors, mu t send his Sovereign so many haun chos of venison on the 1st of January, and there are numerous small per rquisit,s of this kind, running all the way through the list of the officers of tho Household and Gov ernment who must make her present of anything from ".uGsG pig to a golden cup. Queen Victoria appro- priates the whole lot as calmly as if she had given some service in return, or was not the richest woman in the world. It may therefor be surmised what tho feelings of tho official class are towards Sir John Savul. Lord Lytton, who on retiring from tho Vice-royalty of India, and while maintaining a princely estab- lishment at Kaebworth, was not above drawing his pension of $3500 year as ex-Secretary of Embassy.

A Wonderful Mountain.

Olo of tho most shapely mountains of tho CAtskiil range is High Point. It Is sad that this mountain was much used by Indians in olden times because of the extended view to be had of tho rich farming country of tho Dutch set tiers of Kingston, Hurley and Marble town, and that before making rreda- tory raid in the valley, they awaited tho signal of their scouts from the high boulder at it's summit. ca this rock, as the story goes, one of their captives was sacrificed. He was asturdy Dutchman who refused to betray his friends by acting as decoy. The h. dians did not dasc burn him for fear the smoko would alarm the farmers, so they made use of their tomahawks.
 To tho people of the town of Olive this mountain has been weather in- dicator. Farmers look to it to sec whether it will rain or whether sum- shine will prevail, while tho fate ot picnic parties or excursions is settled by tho appearance of it's gray summit. If the crest is capped with clouds of a certain color and shad, rain is certain. The mountain will, in certain stages of the atmosphere, take up and repeat sounds from the lands below, and when thunder clouds cover it's summit, and fha thpn dor rolIa o1onr if fromond or :, roars, growing and rcverberations are heard as if coming from its very bowels. There arc people who claim that this mountain contains great cave, caused by stream that runs into it, and which has worn the rocks away for thousands of feet within the hugo mass. This, it is said, causes the roaring, being Q re- verberation of the thunder as the light. nings expend their fury on its rocky summit. Livingston N. Y.) Freeman.

A School for SextOnS,

Tho Christian Register wants school for training sextoas. It says of such an educational institution, ''The school for scxtons will teach the art of bell ringing; it will have special courso for those who need to ring chimes; but it will not overlook tho weightier ol more prosaic duties of tho profession. It will teach methods of church ventil- ation; it will show how to make a fur mace fire which shall warm thu church without burning up tho building or the congregation: it will show how to prevent crcaky boots; it will establish sign language for communication between sexton and preacher during public scrvice-in short, it will teach the principles and the methods which pertain to every branch of tho duties of the modern sac- tristan.

While preparing to pay off the em- ployes the building in which his cf1ico was located suddenly sunk into the earth and disappeared.
