STRENGTH Of THE ARMY.
During the Past Ninety Days Wonderful
Work Has Been Accomplished.

During the Past Ninety Days Wonderful
Work Has Been Accomplished.
A consolidated statement issued by
Major John A. Johnson, assistant ad-
jutant general, shows that of 277, 500
men authorized by congress to be en-
listed in the regular and volunteer
armies, 254,479 up to this time have
been mustered into the service. Of
23,O21 yet required to complete the
authorized quota of the army, 13,3OS
are regulars, 5000 are volunteers un-
der the second call, S62 are immunes,
and 851 are engineers.
The authorized strength of the reg
ular army $1,000. On April 30th it
contained 26, 500 men. Since that time
%, 1872 recruits have been obtained
from a probable $4,000 applicants, by
limited number of recruiting officers
for the most part strangers in the coun-
try canvassed, and during a.period of
competition by state authorities for
the same men. In the opinion of the
officials of the war department, the
returns of regular army enlistments
will show a progressive increase as
this competition ceases. The strength
of the regular army today, less recent
casualties, estimated at 1000 is Al 900.
The authorized strength of the vol
unteer army is 216,500. Of this num-
ber 125, 900 were included in the pres
ident's first call for troops, all of which
have been recruited, mustered and put
into the field; $4,000 were included in
the second call, $1,000 of which have
been mustered into the service; 5000
were to constitute three special regi-
ments of cavalry 1000 were immunes,
and $500 were engineers.
Of the volunteers under the second
call $4,000 thus far enlisted have been
distributed among incomplete organ
izations already in the field, and $4,000
constitute new organizations. The
three special cavalry regiments COM
manded by Colonels Roosevelt, Torrey
and Griggsby, have been recruited to
their full extent, and there are hun
dreds of applicants for any vacancies
that may occur in them. Congress
authorized the enlistment of 10000
yellow fever immunes, and of this
number 9,13S have been mustered into
the service.
All of the ten regiments are COM
plete except the Seventh, Eighth and

TEMPORARY DEAFNESS.

The Omaha World Herald tells this
yarn of David Porter Dobyns, of the
Oregon (Mo.,) Sentinel: "Deacon"
Dobyns, for he is better known as
"Deacon" than as "Mr." is one of the
oldest newspaper men in Missouri In
point ofservice. He served an appren-
ticeship at the printing trade before
the war, and when the war broke out
laid down his stick and rule and,
though a mere boy, enlisted under
General Lyon. "Deacon" was wound
ed at Wilson's Creek and laid in the
hospital for several weeks. He was Of
fered discharge, but refused to accept
it, and as soon as he was able rejoined
his command and stayed with it until
the war ended. "Deacon" Dobyns is
called deacon" because he looks like
one, and only because he looks like
one. Several years ago ministerial
convention was held in Savannah and
q number of ministers in and about
Oregon went over in a party. "Dea-
con" Joined them because he wanted a
little vacation and felt the need of
their company. At Amazonia the par
ty had to change cars and found a
wait of about three hours ahead of
them. 1t was nearly noon and the
reverend gentlemen began looking
about for dinner. There was no hotel
in Amazonia, but finally good wo-
man agreed to get dinner for the
preachers.
She hurried around, massacred a
few yellow-legged chickens, boiled
some snowy potatoes, made some cof-
fee strong enough to float an iron
wedge, concocted some apple pies and
arranged the table. 1t was good re-
past and the preachers marched in, &C.
companied by the deacon" and pre-
pared to enjoy it.
The good woman, knowing her
guests were ministers, felt impelled to
invite one of them to ask a blessing.
Glancing around for the proper one,
her eyes fell upon the innocent and
kindly face of "Deacon" Dobyns."
Stepping up behind him she leaned
over and asked:
"Will you ask the blessing ?"
"Pardon me, madam; what did you
say ?" asked the "Deacon."
'I said, will you ask the blessing?
ga little louder, please, madam"
said the "Deacon," placing his hand
behind his ear.
The good woman's face grew red,
but she raised her voice and again
asked:
"Will you ask the blessing?"
A sorrowful look shot across the face
of the "Deacon." Turning his chair
halfway about he exclaimed:
MADAM, you'll have to talk louder
than that. I'm so id deaf / can't
hear it thunder"
Then the meal proceeded without
the customary form of asking bless
ing. And deacon" Dobyns, the willy
man, could hear as good as anybody.
