the Vermont National Guard, says a contem-
porary, to be introduced this week, emhodies
the ideas of Adjutant General T. s. Peck

guard.fully qualities him to prepare the meas

the re-enlistment of not exceeding l6 COM
panies. This will make two regiments of
eight companies each, and allow brigade for
nation. The object Of the bill is to put the mi
litia of the state of vermont upon such basis
that when called into action by the nation or
state its efficiency win not be questioned
This bill allows four more companies OF in

uniforms will be United States campaign or

the new bill will be as rigid as that for enlist
ment in the national service. 1t is said

reorganized that it will be Subject to what
ever national legislation may be enacted by

The Kaieer's Wnrdrobe.

The Kaiser Is military man from
crown to foot. His numerous ward
robes contain only five suits Of multi,
mostly made in Vienna. Like most Ger
man officers, he never looks we'll in
them. He never wears an evening
dress suit He has particular Abneig-
ung against the swallow-tail which re-
minds him of the somber surroundings
of funeral. This unconquerable OBJ
lection is accountable for an imperial
regulation ordaining that wherever
possible courtiers and guests shall wear
the frock coat L Anglais; otherwise
the newly introduced court dress is de
rigeur The black swallowtail is thus
fast being forced out of German court
circles. Umbrellas are his pet aversion
he never possessed one in his life
and as to sticks, they are usually the
cheapest he can buy. His rifles are
under the special care Of the Leibjager
and are kept in special cupboard. A
remarkable feature of this collection is
the hunting sticks which his majesty
has cut with his own hand while out
hunting or received as presents during
his expeditions from gentry and peas.

Rutland Railroad Situation.

1t is announced that the new owners Of the
Rutland have an option on the Bennington
and Rutland railroad, and that ia all proba-
bility the line which Gen. j. G. Mccullough
has made so profitable will soon become a
part of the Rutland system Surveying par
ties are looking over the different routes for
the extension of the Rutland road north of
this city, and to all appearances the only
thing lacking is the charter which the legis-
laure has been asked to grant for the pro.
cuse for opposition to this project and mem
bers of the legislature who oppose it will
need to be prepared to answer questions of n
pertinent character.-Burlington Free Press.

Prince Victor Duleep Singh is, it is

ish subjects, but there Is a rule that
all candidates must be British born or
naturalized British subjects or Euro
pean birth and parentage, and the
greatest precautions are taken to en-
force this condition, even color and
skull formation of candidates being ex-
amined by the medical officers with a
view to discovering any trace Of nom
European origin. The greatest pos
sible care is taken on this point by
the medical board before which every
candidate who proves successful at the
educational examination Is required to
attend. But under favorable conditions
1t is possible for an Eurasian candidate
to get through If his color does not
betray him for his father may have
been British with an ordinary British
name and that being so he might pos
sibly have been born In England In
which case there would be little to raise
suspicion II the doctors failed to trace

trace his origin. A strict examination
of birth certificates IL also made both

tering the army.-Londou Court Jour-
