Looking Backward.

The titles Of the king of Spain sug-
gest large part of the history of the
world. He is king Of Jerusalem, which
is Turkish; of Navarro. which is
French; of Gibraltar, which is British,
and of the East and West Indies, which
are largely British; duke of Brabant
and count of Flanders, now the two in
dependent kingdoms of Holland and
Belgium, and sovereign of numerous
other lands long since independent or
under the undisputed sway of other
powers. He bears upon his person in
deed an epitome of the glory and the
fall of Spain.

Officers Still In.

Most of the officers have not yet been
mustered out and probably will not be
for several weeks. Their muster out
papers have to undergo good deal Of
red tape manipulation before they get
their discharges from Uncle Sam. AS
each officer at various times has been
custodian of government property, he
must get quietus from six separate

government nothing. Consequently,
