that the figure 9 IS Intimately con-

Is the American custom, s foremost
place in naval construction has
already been taken, and & naval

drilled on the new ships drawn
from a class of men from the sea-

that formerly made her name great

There are prosaic men and women
and there are matter of-fact dogs -
says writer in the London Spectator.
For purely business purposes they are
often the BEST he adds, and tells a
little story to prove the fact:
We once owned an excellent retriey.
ing spaniel of the simple order of mind.
without grain of humor. This dog
accompanied us unaskeu when we
wanted to shoot bullfinch in the gar
den TO stun: The gun went off, and
the poor bull6nch dropped.
& Now this dog had been used. when
the gun was fired, to 60 and look for
dead or wounded rabbit. So. instead
Of looking under the apple tree. he
disappeared into the hedge, and in a
few minutes he returned with a rab-
bit in his mouth! So much for the
value Of a matter-of- fact dog. !:

Conmander-in-C Chief Weissert. It was
full of good advice, and bore especially
upon the subject of delinquent posts.
1.-THE lack of interest in the 6. A. Il.
work on the part of the public" he said,
sis due to the failure of post officers in
not attending to their duties and their in
ability to make the meetings Interesting.
Many of the post officers after their cleo
ton and after they have become post ST.
fcers fail to do their duty by keeping
away from the regular meetings, where
they should give their comrades aid, ad-
vice and encouragement. The member
ship fails in it's duty by not enforcing
the rules and regulations of the Grand
Army Of the Republic when post officers
fail to attend as required. They make
greater mistake when they elect for the
honorable positions in the post comrades
who are known to them as having been
rot likely to give proper thought and at
tention to their duties. The only way to
create interest and enthusiasm is for every
member of the G. A. r. to attend the
post meetings regularaly and faithfully.
The fact that there are 21,OO7 army
veterans and 525 navy veterans, and only
10000 veterans in the G. A. Il. shows
that some one is at fault
Comrade Roberts, chairman of the COM
mittee on officers, read the report Of that
committee, in which it was recommended
that me Inspection Of quartermaster' $

The first Of what it is said will be daily
ries OF conflicts between the appropria-
ton bills and the anti options bill until the
latter is acted Oh. was the feature of to-
days's session of the house. The members
were worn out from last nights session and
the day passed tamely. Mr.. Hatch had
grown tired Of the delay to which the anti
Options bill is being subjected, and when it
was moved to take up the postoffice appro-
1.ration bill he antagonized the motion
with the measure ofwhich he is champion.
Being defeated, he made the same light also
unsuccesstully when the postotfice bill was
passed. and the Indian appropriation bill
was called up. Members were thus put on
record and then the Indian question was
discussed languidly for three hours.
