And the trail to the happy kingdom,

They have made a city of Paso, a CITY

But the air that the band was playing,
down there in the haunt of siu,
Just pulled at my straining heart
strings, as once did q mandolin,
That walled out the passion OF Lita,
that tiokled her souls delight,
That conjured the dawn of morning,
out of the depths Of night;
That sang as the swift RATA, sings
thro' the Silly air,
That rang as the bit chains, ringing,
carried away our care.
I stood in the street aud listened; I
stood in the street and saw
An air of a lawless people, a sight that
was void of law;
You could price the girls that were
dancing, there in the haunt OF sin
She GAVE me herself, long ago, the girl
who pl"yed on the mandolin.

National Guard and Sea Coast Defense

The appropriations for permanent
| Notifications for the year ending June
30, 1897, were the largest ever made
| for that purpose in a single yeal: and
the work on the new batteries has
been rushed forward with the greatest
vigor. Under these appropriations,
emplacements have been finished or
are under construction for thirteen
Pinch, forty-seven 1O-inch and eigh-
teen S-inch rifles, and Sc -enty-six
Pinch rifled mortars, besides rapid
fire and machine guns This is but
an excellent beginning; since many
more batteries must be provided be-
fore our proposed scheme of seacoast
defense will have been completely car
ried into effect.
But who are to man these fortifica-
lions in case of war? Onr regular
artillery consists of only FIVE regi-
ments. which viii allow fifty batteries
of siXty-6ve men each for seacoast de-
Tense: in time of war the light battery
is as distinct from the fortress defend-
ers as Is the cavalry. To man proper
ly the defenses of New York City
alone-as far as completed on July /,
1S97-will consume one-half of our
artillery force. Should war
come, the hope of the country, both
for infantry and artillery, lies in its
national guard. Forces, to almost any
numbe". could be modified in a few
days to operate against land attack;
but our enemies will not come by
land. From the nature of our isolated
situation, they must come in ships; and
their object will be not so much to
destroy life as to exact tribute. With
in ten days after the declaration of
war by a first-class naval power, at
least one of our principal harbors
would be besieged by a fleet. Unless
we could defend ourselves, ransom of
millions would have to be paid; for no
city could afford to endure even half
an hours bOmbsrdment with the guns
of the present day. A sea-
coast artillery organization, as a part
of the national guard, should be en-
couraged by the government and be
insisted on by all states adjacent to the
sea board.
There should be annual summer en-
campments at those forts that are
provided with all the modern ap-
planes; and practice should bs had
under the direction of regular officers
of artillery. La the winter, instruction
dHu,a ed By 'ee engines ordnance e,
artillery and naval officers, supple
mented by the study of m cde's.
| The government, of course, expects
| to fit up all it's forts with the most eff
cient equipments: but Fort Wadsworth,
at the Narrows, has been selected as q
typical artillery station. This fort,
which is within easy reach of the
metropolis, will be the first to be
provided with all the appliances
sentisl to modern armament. The ma
tional guard of the Empire State is the
natural leader in every new develop
ment; and it can not too soon organize
a regiment of seacoast artillery. No
