GENr1pn--- TOUR.
He Returns from Southwest, but VIII
soon Visit Key West.


NEW YORK, March 3.-Gen. Wesley Mer-
rift returned to-day from his tour of in
spection of the Southern fortifications in
the Department of the East. Probably
within week he will start for Key West.
General Merritt was especially interested
in the work now going on in the New York
arsenal During the past few days hun
dreds of eight, ten, twelve and thirteen
inch projectiles have been shipped from
the arsenal to Fort Preble, Me. Speaking
of his tour, General Merritt said: II am
pleased to say that / found the troops in
excellent condition. The men were all the
picture of health, and the regulations of the
service working perfectly. l first went to
Fort Mcpherson, at Atlanta. Ga. Then we
went down to Fort Barrancas and Pensa-
cola. From there we journeyed to New Or
leans, where I stopped over two days to
inspect Jackson Barracks. / did not go to
Fort st. Philip, for the reason that none
or my troops are garrisoned there. may
nave few suggestions for the emprove-
ment OF some of the posts 1 visited but
do not care to discuss that just now /
nave nothing TO say on the subject of the
Maine disaster more than that it was la
mentable and deplorable in the extreme
When asked as to whether it was the
intention of the War Department to make
Atlanta the seat of operations in case of
hosttlities being declared, General Merritt
said he preferred to remain silent for the
present Under no circumstances, he ex-
planned, would he go into the details of his
proposed visit to Key West nor would he
discuss the significance of the fleet there at
this particular time. Lieutenant Strother
will accompany General Mirritt on his trip

THE HOME GUARD.

The battle drums are whirling past to-day
 To the glad fuiter of the Stripes and Stars, But my proud saul, eager for the fray,
 Can only beat against the fretting bars. I cheer the colors and the serried lines,
 The measured cadence and the clink of steel, But deep within ny aching heart repines
 And the hurrah but hides the woe feel. How curious doth fate thus shape our ends
 Some march away with slow, reluctant tread; While L who chafe to join my soldier friends, Must still remain idIer here instead. You tell me that duty bids-that I should yield With heart submissive to it's plain decree. Perhaps but yet I long for tented field.
 And like the hooded falcon, would be free. No ballroom strain can ever sound so sweet
 AS the wild fanfare leading to the war; No stately dance could give such joy complete As the fierce grappie on a foreign shore. What man is passive when his country needs
 The sturdy arm, the patriotic soul Who would not follow where that banner leads Der land and sea-@on to the final goal? The battle drums are whirling past to-day.
 The colors hutter in the summer air; I watch them sadly they pass away
 mourn the glory that cannot share. < Louis Sverre Amonson in Philadelphia Ledger.
