That many men enlist through pque, and
soon tire of the routine of garrison life, may
be admitted; but this fact can hardly account
for the desertion Of one-fourth the recruits
and oDe-eigfth of the rank and file of the
army every year. The truth seems to be
that the line officers themselves arc largely
responsible for this condition of affairs.
Their listless and enervating life leads them
to lose interest in their commands and their
authority is assumed by non-commissioned
men who abuse 1t BY acts of petty tyranny.

CARNEGIE, PHIPPs & Co., of Pitts

claim that this kind OF ties will prove
the only solution of the perfect track and
high speed problem in the United
States. Such ties have been used in
England to limited extent, but never
in this country. Their introduction by
the railroads means greater speed and
safety to human life, and very marked
improvement in the iron industry.

If Omaha secures railroad connection
by direct or rainbow lines with South
Dakota, it will be entirely due to the
enterprise of the people of north Ne
braska. The apathy of our business
men in this matter is not creditable.
And yet their Indifference does not
lessen the desire OF our northern neigh
bors for commercial intercourse with
this city. The activity displayed by
the Yankton, Norfolk & Southwestern
coupled with liberal local Inducements,
has aroused the Elkhorn Valley COM
pany, and the extension of that road
from Verdigris to Niobrara and eventu-
ally into the rich Sioux country is as
sured. The construction of the road
will open new and profitable trade
territory, and Omaha iobbers should be
prepared to take advantage of 1T.

THE foreign guests of the nation who
are making their way westward are q
decidedly patriotic body of gentlemen,
who lose no opportunity to show that
they are thoroughlyimb with Amer
lean sentiment. In their speeches and
their toasts they indicate very clearly
a most hearty and cordial sympathy
with the plan of bringing all American
countries into more intimate relations
with one another, and of forming
such a compact as will secure
the protection of all against
every form of European interfer-
ence or aggression. They are particu-
larly eloquent in their references to
the United States, and the tour they
are making can not fail to impress them
with the greatness of this country, al
though they will see on their present
trip but a small part of it, The wisdom
of the tour is already fully justified.

NO NEED OF HASTE.

There need be no great hurry about
appointing the superintendent for the
erection of the city hall building. The
only thing Contractor Coots will DO this
season is to pull up by the roots the
thirty thousand dollar foundation laid
by Reagan & Brennan, and to fill with
concrete the trenches upon which the
new foundation walls are to stand.
The city engineer can readily supervise
the laying Of the concrete bed without
extra cost to the city.
To appoint a superintendent now
would simply mean clean thousand
dollars taken out of the city hall fund
for the alleged services of a gentleman
of leisure. 1t will be time enough to
appoint the superintendent about the
1st of April. BY that time the mayor
and council should be able to secure the
services of a practical builder who has
experience with fire-proof construction.

AN ALABAMA WONDER.

| DeKalb county has a genuine
wonder in the person of a ground
hog boy who resides with his par
ents on Sand mountain, about six
teen miles from Fort Payne. The
lad is how fourteen years of age, and
those who have seen him say he has
head, hands and feet similar to a
ground hog. He cannot talk but
makes d noise like an animal. He
amuses himself almost constantly
by balancing a stick on one of his
hands, and is very active. The
name of the boy is Lacy and his
parents are very poor. Several
gentlemen have been talking Of late
of securing the consent OF the par
ents TO place the boy on exhibition
in all the principal cities of the
country, and on account of their
poverty it is said that it will not be
hard matter to make a contract
with them. The boy is said to be a
wonder, AMI all who have seen him
pronounce him genuine curiosity
and believe a large fortune could
be made out of him by placing him
on exhibition.-Fort Payne Herald.
