Discomfort IN THE ENGLISH ARMY.

For several years there have been many in
dications of growing discomfort in the rank
and file of the English army. This discon-
tent has extended 10 the most famous as well
as the most favored regiments in the service,
and has on number of occasions been so
great as to lead to open characterization
against the authority of commissioned Off

barracks. firmly declining TO obey orders,
and rs n punishment they were sent TO Der
muds. no severer measures being taken be-
cause there was reason to think that the same
dissatisfaction was entertained by the great
body of troops stationed in England.
For nearly a year there has been no marked
evidence Of discomfort, but facts have re-
Gently come TO light which show that appear
ances have been deceptive. Probably the
most celebrated body Of troops in the Eng
| ish army is the Codstream Guards, whose
| history goes back TO the days Of General
Monk, bv whom they were first organized.
| There has not been war since that time IN
which England has been engaged in which
the Coldstreams, the name by which the regi-
ment ispopularly known, have not conferred
! distinction upon the English arms and glory
upon their own organization.
1t is universally considered to be the crack
regiment of the English forces, not only on
account of its brilliant record in past wars,
| g s.,o1
| ity Of its men, the magnfcence of their gen
eral equipments and the high state of mill
tery discipline and efficiency to which they
! have been brought.
1t turns out that the members of this regi-
ment are now affected TO the core with the
spirit of characterization. First. they posi-
lively refused TO go upon parade when order
ed. and when finally they yielded to earnest
solicitations rather than to threats, they acted
| in so disorderly manner as TO compel their
officers TO lead them back to their barracks.
| Upon the attempted arrest of the ringleaders
the whole regiment resisted the effort, but
were finally quoted down.
The discomfort is still alive, and the Eng
lish war Office is somewhat at loss as to the
!
bers Of the regiment complain that they are
required to submit to excessive and unneces-
sAry drilling. and that their officers show in
other ways a lack of general consideration for
them.
II is fact of some significance in its politi-
cal bearings that the English war Office attri-
butte the dissatisfaction Of the troops TO too
much education" which signifies that the
troops, being under the influence of the grow
ing democratic feeling in England are begin
ming to think for themselves The result Of
this is that they are disposed TO rebel against
abuses in which they find no virtue on tho
mere ground that these abuses have an imme-
mortal existence. When English troops, the
most patient and subordinate in the world
when their intelligence and manliness are
considered. develop an inclination to mutiny
it is only because they have been exposed to
conditions no longer endurable.

A decree was received yesterday by Judge

case in which Observation-Disclosures of a lawyer
played prominent part.
The decree is in favor Of Mr.. L. y Thomas,
Of Smithfeld, Isle of Wight county, and IN

About ten years ago Mr.. Thomas was an
assignee in bankrupt case. The matter WAS
settled up. but in the course Of the proceed

the fact of tho deposit, 1t seems. passed out OF

this announcement IN the papers Mr. Thomas

Of Hayti, point of advantage which if in

ENGLISH IN VIRGINIA SCHOOLS.

There has recently been issued in pamphies
form tho report of the second annual meeting
of the Virginia Association for the ADVANCE
ment OF Higher Education. which contains
the valuable papers on tho study OK hngn'n
in colleges aud preparatory schools which
Professors Garnett. Of the University OF VIZ
einia and Hennoman. Of Hampden-Sydney
College. read on that occasion
Those papers embody in succinct iorin 'h'
results Of the practical observation ana eApe-
rience of these two distinguished scholars on
this important subject. and arc entitled to
careful examination by all who are Interested
in the progress of English studies IN our euu-
cational institutions. both OF higher anu
lower Grade. There are few more favorable
indications of the great work which these III
stitutions are performing than the increased
attention which the study Of English IS re-
ce,yinc-a study which has until compare
lively recently been more or less neglected.
The paper of Professor Garnett is devotea

schools, the amount of English that should DO
taught in these schools. the order IN winch
the subjects should be taken up and the time
that should be expended on each. lie rec

reading 10 correspond to each stage OF the
nupjrs course In the second stage there
should be a careful study Of selected WORKS
Of the most prominent writers, in prose and
poetry, pursued both in and out OF class. In
the third stage there should be an elemen-
tary study of the origin and history OF the
English language. with due attention to the
influences that have affected its development
and an analysis of its elements.
Professor Henneman, in the paper which he
read on the same occasion, confined his atten-
ton principally TO a discussion of the best
methods of teaching the higher branches OF
English in the colleges He recommended
that during the first year OF two the efforts OF
the instructor should be devoted to awaken
ing in his class an interest in books aud love
for reading, the students being gwen at the
same time iair idea of the general scope and
development Of English literature.
This should be followed up in the succeed
ing year by study of periods or subjects, &C
cording TO choice, each topic being treated
both historically and comparatively While
the class work is in progress there should be
assignments for full course Of parallel and
private reading At the final meeting Of each
class an outline Of the study for the next
session should be given, with lists Of books
bearing on it, to be read if the disposition IS
felt. in vacation. This would act as con-
slant spur TO the student and also as an in
ducement 10 him 10 return 10 the same lnstl-
tuition to complete the course.
Such in mere outline are the suggestions OF
Professors Garnet and Henneman on the
subject of English studies As given IN de-
tail, they will be found to be eminently prac-
teal as well as highly interesting.

The Emperor Of Germany is showing an
increased disposition to act the part of social
reformer. The latest step which he has taken
in this character will meet with both approval
and disapproyal- approval on the part Of al
married persons, disapproyal on the part Of the
unmarried. He has caused to DO introduced
into the German Reichstag bin which pro-
vides that every official Of certain grades must
marry or sacrifice fourth of his salary and
all his house money. This sum is TO be used
to dover or pension the unmarried daughters
Of Government officials. The bill leaves the
question in some doubt whether its object IS
TO force all the bachelor officials 10 marry. or
merely 10 secure a support for the unmarried
daughters OF Government officials, for whom
the Government feels a special concern. The
bill must prove effective in encouraging mat
rimony. rs there are few bachelor of
fcials in the German Empire who would
like to see the greater portion of their IN
comes devoted to the support of families with
which they have no connection for 1t may be
taken for granted that as soon as the daugh-
tiers of the Government officials come into
the possession Of dowres from this source
they will find no difficulty in marrying. This
bill will not increase the popularity OF the
daughters Of the Government officials in the
eyes of the bachelors, while there can be little
doubt that it will increase the popularity OF
the bachelors in the eyes Of the daughters.

TIE shrinkage in the amount of pig iron pro-
duced in the course Of the first SIX months Of
the present year is one of the most notable
that has occurred since the close Of the
war. The depression that prevailed both in
1873 and 1876 will long be remembered. but
there is one striking point Of difference be-
tween the causes that led to the shrinknges
in those years and the cause which has
brought about the reduction now to be
observed. This reduction is due to over
trading on the part of the English
In South American securities. which
spread abroad throughout the world the ele-
ments Of financial stringency. The depres-
sion Of 1878 and 1876 was due to overtrading
in this country. The July bulletin Of the
American Iron and Steel Association reports
that there are already signs of a recovery in
the iron market, an indication of more conf
dent tone in every branch Of trade.
