Not a thousand mics from here,
Two enchanted lakes | know;
On those lakes OF azure clear
OFT my soul doth s,ifing go.
In their limpid dfeps see
Lights OF potent wi.chery.
>
Not so far away as Mars,
Without any telescope,
I have found twin elm stars
Star of Peace and Star OF Hope;
And the magic OF their rays
Holds me spellbound as Igaze.
/ have seen a fairy bright
On this town her home che makes:
She can shroud the stars II night,
Hide from view the shimnering lakes
Would YOU see this mystic lass?
You will find her-in your rlass.
Do YOU wonder how you may
Work this spell of magic sleight-
Make the blue lakes pass away.
Dim the stars alluring light?
In your power alone II lies;
You need only-shut your eyes

ment. and containing only two or three
minor provisions of general legislation
with even these of interest 10 the service
rather than to the public. The amount
carried by the bill is about the same
as that OF last year, and there Is no need
of prolonged discussion over it in either
House.
But Congress has another duty to per-
form In regard TO the army, which should
not be neglected nor long postponed
The need of coast-defences carries with
II a need of more artillerymen; and with
this Is coupled another-thai OF swing
'he infantry the three battalion organi-
zation, now generally recognized as Icing
t,ctically the Soundest.
While many schemes have been Of
feed for these purposes. one which
seems to combine the elements OF mode
rathn and simplicity is that of secretary
Lamnt. Put briefly, It increases the
enlised force to about 10000 men; or. In
other words, restores II 10 what Il was
quarter of a century ago. 1t In
creased the number OF officers moderate
~. an, the rotal additional cost is es-
timated at sl.7l9.o).
The pending appropriation bill as re-
ported calls for about 81, $4,000. Hence
with comparatively small increase,
everything desired can be accomplished
fifty companies being added TO the in
fantry, the fun regiments to the ar
tillery. and the two companies OF each
infantry and cavalry regiment now with
out men, beiag again manned The rs-
suit will be. as Mr.. Lamont has shown,
TO increase thenumbers of the army about
one sixth, its effective strength nearly
one fifth, and its cost of maintenance
less than one fourteenth.
Some improvements may be sugct sted
on this plan, iu- there is no doubt OF
the value of ircdsrate increasc OF the
army, with sir,t view TO what the
proper defence of he country requires.

The Richmond Dispatch says that Ben.
Harrisons letter explaining that he Is not
a candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for the presidency means simply
that he Is not going to work openly for
the job, and will remain in the back
ground; but that he hopes the convention
will get into wrangle. and will take
him up as dark horse. That is about
the size Of 1.-THE Norfolk Virginian.
SO it is: yet a good many OF our more
or less esteemed contemporaries have
been taken in" by Harrisons letter.
Harrison. we feel sure, believed that he
had made a grand stroke for the presi-
dency after he had published that letter.
His only chance had been and is to
come in as "a dark horse" and that he
may do this all the better. he puts him
self in a position where he will not an
tagonize Mckinley. Reed, Allison. or
Morton. So far so good The rest of the
manoeuvring will have to be done by the
Indiana delegation in the National Re-
publican Convention. How to cast its
vote so as to make as many friends
and as few enemies as possible for Har-
rlson, pending the time when Harrison
may be put upon the track, is the great
problem for IL TO solve.
BY the way. the New York Tribune.
Whitelaw Reds paper, seems bent upon
breaking up Morton's boom; though its
enmty is rather against Plat. the Re-
publican State boss. than against Old
Man Morton. If the Tribune does not
behave itself better 1t will be sat down
upon by its party. and then 1t will have
to recant, as it did after the Greeley
campaign.
