ARMY AND NAVY.

The construction of the proposed line of de-
lenses extending along the Atlantic seaboard
from Portland to Jack sonville and around the
Gulf to New Orleans and Galveston, means a
substantial increase in the standing Army in a
few years. and especially of the artillery branch,
to which will fall the work of manning aud car.
ing for them. Nearly all the Notifications are
at cities where the artillery branches are either
unreprescnted or the garrison inadequate to
the new demands, so that with the completion
of the defenses and the erection Of new bar.
racks the Army will have to be increased by at
least two more regiments Of artillery, and DOS
sibly more, as the work of preparing the coun-
try from sea attack progresses. This means
that there will be a wide distribution of the
artillery along the seaboard cities. and new
Sarrisons established at points which have not
known the presence OF Federal troops since tho
war period. In asking for appropriations little
! thought was given to the necessity of increas-
ing the standing Army. The War Department,
however, went ahead and secured the money,
with the belief that when the defenses are com
pleted the necessity of providing the men will
be appreciated aud new regiments authorized.

The death Of ex Senator Thomas w. Ferry,
at his home in Grand Haven, Mich. recalls
bis prominence here during the 70's. He
was first elected President pro tempore of the
Senate. March 9, 1875. and held the Office

elections Dec. 90 1875 March S, 1877, Feb 26,

80 Presidents pro tempore of the Senate since
the foundation Of the Government but two
have held longer term of service.
On the 25th OF December. 1874. he intro
duced resolution for revising aud recassify-
ing the rules OF the Senate delicate matter
in so conservative a body-and which had
never had code of rules. After two years
labor he reported the revision, and it was
unanimously adopted without amendment, and
now remains the standing authority of the
Senate.
His ability presiding officer. and famili-
srity with parliamentary law was severely
tested during the long impeachment trial Of
secretary OF War Belknap, when tn. Senate
was sitting as high court. with new and
peculiar rules and delicate questions of prece-
dent. Also during the electoral count of 1877,

gone.
"What did you do with him?''
asked Joe, the farmer husband, in
a mans way, that came like bolt.
She listened, and thoy all listened
and looked, but her ear caught the
first sound of the child. 1t was
laughing somewhere from above.
It was over SO happy, for the man
was tossing it up and up, higher and

for JOY, and the eye of the kindly

There are still many mon, though

avow their literary work, or who
feel as if they derogated from their
dignity in avowing it, or who arc
unable to hear q criticism on them
selves by name, which they do not
feel unplcasantly when applied to
their work. They know much, and
they are tho natural patrons Of tho

oven in tho historical and scientific
departments of thought which tho

And finally in our day work is apt
