Another change is contemplated in

It'll proposed substituting close-ftting
garment for the present canvas work

ticularly ill-adapted for sailors use, 1T Is

THE engineer-in-chief of the navy
says that the number Of engineer Off

fornance Of the duties belonging to
them, and that unless measures are at
once taken to remedy this condition and
to stop tile steady decrease in numbers
we shall before long have painful
awakening by a serious breakdown or
accident on board some Of our vessels.
The mounted infantry in England
have just executed remarkably long

a few random shots, silence again
reigned. Madagascar had evidently
frustrated the enemy's plan Of surpris.
ing us. But when the relief force came
there was no sign Of the attacking
party, save their tracks in the mud,
showing their line Of retreat.
But where was Madagascar? Two
hours after the little skirlnish was over
the noble dog was discovered dragging
himself painfully toward the picket
post where he had spent the night. He
was sorely wounded and, despite all
that could be done, he died that day at
noon.
Madagascar was buried, wrapped in
a battered flag, and his comrades OF the
picket line fired soldiers volley over
the dog-soldiers grave.

our Flag In China.

Col. Charles DENLY, colonel Of the
Forty-second regiment, Indiana volun.
teers; who has represented the United
states for the past six years as Minister
to China, writes the officers Of the
Forty-seeond, on the day Of their last
reunion, from the United States Lepa-
ton ut Pekin. The letter concludes III
follows:
Peace and prosperity reign in all the
country. Our dag floats beneath every
sky and is respected by all nations. /
am tempted 10 raise it to-day above
this Legation in honor OF your reunion.
1t is a symbol in China now OF present
actual, potential value. Amid all the
anti-foreign riots which have latterlg
brought devastation and sometimes
death to foreigners, this flag secures
protection to Americans, or,where that
is not possible on account Of the sud.
denness of the ernutes, compensation
for wrongs and injuries and guaran d
for the future.
You and your comrades made this
condition possible 1t is to the Union
soldiers that we owe the bcnefact.on
that this tiag was not torn and shtiv.
eled, that other tiags, representing dis
cordant and belligerent States have
not taken its place, and that to-day In
in all the earth no standard represents
a greater or a happier people, nor a
purer or more elevated civilization
than our own.

VINO denies that the family is the
foundation OF stable society? Who
questions that the simple formula of
the marriage ceremony underlies the
stability OF the state? No one who
has sense to see anything more than
that which floats as scum upon the
surface OF the stream. Yet in all
civilized lands or to be more pre-
else, all over the United States, are
courts authorized by statute to traverse
the laws of God and make an end of
the marriage relation upon the most
fimsy pretexts. 'Incompatibility Of
temper has often been pleaded sue
cessfully to secure the desired separ-
alton ard if finite mental dexterity
can go farther than that in the moth
ingness of excuse it is difficult TO
imagine how.

A story Of President lincoln.

To acknowledge your courtesy send
you fine story Of Abraham Lincoln
You may think it too fine to publish.
A telegram was received by Gen. Scott,
announcing the victory of the Union
army, Little Mac and Rosy at Rich
Mountain, West Va, july IL, 1861.
As military secretary / had previously.
under the commands of Gen. Scott, dis
turbed the President five times that
night. When knocked for the sixth
time at the door OF the Presidents
bedchamber he appeared. exhibiting
some little vexation, in red flannel
shirt, which out of mOdesty, he was
holding down in front. He said,
Colonel, do you ever sleep?' The
reply was, Mr. President, was about
10 ask You the same question" He
said, II have not slept much since
this civil war began" The rejoinder
was, Indeed, Mr.. President, | regret
to have to disturb you 50 often RI had
to do it several times almost every
night, but you know, Mr.. President,
/ am under authority, and must obey
Gen. SCOTS orders without question
.'Oh. Colonel, understand that very
well. have been disturbed at every
hour Of the night tonight, and poor
Mrs. Lincoln also. 1t was then about
a. m. She is now asleep. and hated
to disturb her, but she has got my
dressing gown twisted around her
feet, 50 have had to come out in my
red shirt. Either / have grown too
long or the shirt has grown too short,
/ know not which.
But said; Mr.. President, the tele-
gram hold in my hand viii give you
the greatest pleasure; it IS the an
nouncement Of the first victory OF the
Union army"
..But, Colonel, what am | do?"
"Oh, Mr. President, I think we can
manage that. If you win allow me for
once in my life to turn my back on the
President Of the United States you can
let 60 and can pass the telegram over
my shoulder.
''Dos so, Colonel, " said he.
faced about and passed the telegram
over my shoulder. lie read it, pom
dered it, read it aloud. Colonel, he
asked, lis there anything in corrobora-
ton Of this telegram"
"a great deal, Mr. President, was
the reply.
Colonel" and there was a happy
rhythm in his voice, a ripple Of merri-
ment and satisfaction; Colonel, if you
viii come to me every night and every
hour Of every night with just such tele-
grams as that, ! will come out not only
in my red shirt, but without any shirt
atall. Tell Gen. Scott So" He handed
me back the telegram over my shoulder
to be duly placed on file, and babe me
good night The door closed, and so
closes one Of the many characteristic
incidents in the life Of the martyr Pres

Mosr Of US are proud of our skill il
weighing the men and women whom
we meet. '.Ah l reckoned him up
as soon as ever | clapped eyes on
him." says the modern Dogberry to
Verges when somebody mad proved
himself knave; and then Dogbarry
oozes self-satisfaction from every pore
at the thought OF his own shrewdness
OF observation; whereas the truth
stands at this that Dogberry did not
reckon him up at ALL but only slr
back in the DINNER recesses OF his
own consciousness harbored a hay
suspicion that man might be a
rogue, and now that events warrant
it this suspicion is triumphantly
brought to the light Of day and is in
vested with all the dignity of an
opinion.

While rebel sympathiZers are crying
we've had enough If the old soldier
racket" and are disparaging every
effort at pension legislation tor the
Union soldier, the real rebels are going
right along pen-ioning their own
soldiery. True they are not asking the
Federal government to do it, bat arg
asking it from states.
This fact demonstrates number 81
things; one is that were il known there
Is perhaps as great = per cent. Of rebels
drawing pensions, in proportion to their
number and the states where they con,
troll, as there are Of Union soldiers.
Take for instance the county Of Full.
ton, in Georgia, which according to the
Athens Banner, contains rs pensioners.
This is only enc county ia one state
and is selected simply because il comes
directly under observation IL shows
that the right Of soldiers to pension is
recognized by the element that yeIps
itself hoarse over the cxtraya rance Of
the government pensiOning Mon sol.
diers. II shows also the dishonesty 81
the cry against pensions, and that tie
real kick is on the Union soldiers being
pensioned.
The veteran has looked in vain for a
single word from these howlers about
the extravaganza Of pensioning rebels
But perhaps they will say 1--WE are not
asking the whole people to pension our
comrades" Of course not; but they
ask the whole people Of every State
where they have control, and the rea-
son they don't demand it Of the whole
people is because they are not suffi
GENTLY strong with the whole people.

a Dog soldier.

Don't tell me that dogs can't reason.
We had a big one that was the pct Of
our regiment. Colonel r., his master,
had brought him from Madagascar,
hence his name. When he joined the
company he was devoted exclusively
TO his owner, but in the course Of three
months he become every body's dog, and
with good reasons, for all the men
made much of him.
When we were at Fair Oaks, Va,
Madagascar first began to do picket
duty. There was one outpost where he
always spent the night, no matter what
soldier might be ON duty there. The
various sentincls tried vainly to coax
him to other places; he never went.
1t gave a fellow very pleasant sen
sation to have that big brown dog
curled up asleep near him. Madagas-
car would hear the slightest sound. If
leaf or tyig rustled he was on the
alert, and would start off to investi-
gate. If he found everything quiet he
would return, lie down and 20 to sleep
again. But if it was an enemy or a
stranger he would growl and stand
guard until the sentry spoke to him.
One morning in winter, just before
dawn, Madagascar suddenly rose and
started off TO line Of oaks. Ifc growled,
and the next moment there was a
smothered exclamation in a hoarse
voice. There followed burst Of fame
in front Of our picket line, and shower
Of bullets whistIed by us. One man
was shot.
We returned the fire, and then, after

! The coincidence OF invention wheth-
er of the plot of novel or of flying

counted for in this way. For example,
writers in any particular department
of literature work more or less along
the same lines; noyelists are always
searching for something new in plot
or motive. and also 10 strike the key
note OF the popular fancy; they natur-
ally turn to the same or similar
sources for suggestions; the news Of
the day. and the problems enterprises
or fads upon which popular interest
turns are at the service Of one or all
to use as each ones literary judgment
or instinct may decide. Is it not re-
markable that there is not more SINH

modern writers than that two Of them
occasionally stumble upon the same
idea, or upon ideas that are nearly
identical?"

The want Of system in the methods
of technical education in this most
practical OF countries has long been a
cause Of surprise and solicitude TO all
who have turned their thoughts TO
this subject. With all the benefits Of
our system OF common school educa-
ton, it excludes practical instruction
in handicrafts as ii it were of no
value. As a result Of this neglect the
youth of the United States are greatly
at disadvantage in competition with
the youth Of Germany and OF France,
where instruction in the principles Of
technical industry forms an essential
part OF popular education. There is
no dispute that the number Of Ameri-
can workingmen trained in the knowl-
edge OF the highest industries is small
compared with the workingmen of
those countries Of Europe whose
schools are workshops for all who
have an aptitude for industrial and
artistic pursuits Hence 1t comes
that with all our education AID
superiority 1t is necessary to frequent
ly invoke the aid Of foreign inmi-
grants in industries requiring thor
ough technical knowledge and train
