Letter from Annapolis.

MEssRs. EDITORS Improvements are be-
ing rapidly pushed along at the Naval Acade
my. When the work is completed we shall
have an institution which has no peer in the
world. The work which is being done al
present consists in charging the grounds by
taking in part of the Severn River. Walls
are constructed of suitable strength, and then
the dregs of the river are piled in the enclos-
ure. Thus several acres have been added to
the Academy grounds.
There is also under construction building
of immense proportions, which extends across
that part of the grounds which face the Ches.
apeake Bay. When this building is completed
it will be magnificent structure, made en-
tirely from granite, and will contain the cadet
quarters, an armory and boathouse.
A very commodious building for Marine
Barracks is also under way. The whole will
probably cost $12, 100000.
Within the last year the municipal anthori-
ties have had the streets paved with vitrited
bricks, and they have also had more safe pave
ments laid.
These improvements, with those OF the new
postofice aud State buildings, will add much
to the attractiyeness of Annapolis
At a meeting Of the Carroll County Club OF
st. Johns College, Hon. johnnie E. Baes-
man, and Messrs. Ganter, Fuss and Hofacker,
of the State Legislature, were elected as
honorary members. Il. II. II.

It is related that one day during the
early rehearsals of Arizona" in New
York, the author of the play. Augustus
Thomas, invited Frederick Remington, the
plump and jovial artist, to view the final
rehearsal of the piece. If there is one
thing Remington is an authority on IT
is the people Of the far West He spent
the major portion of the last fifteen years
on ranches, army posts, and Indian
agencies, and has studied the different
types of frontier folk from the Canadian
borderIand to the hell-ho which mark
the boundary between Arizona and Old
Mexico.
Everything was proceeding in fine shape
at the rehearsa! until Remington's atten-
ton was attracted TO dozen or so supers,
recruited from the Bowery and artifcially
sunburned, clad in chaps" sombreros,
and blue flannel shirts. They had just been
neatly powdered with alkali dust. out of

eye to be the real thing" They evident
Iy pleased Playwright Thomas, for he
pointed to them and remarked TO Reming
ton: Wouldn't you swear those fellows
had Just come from a ranch?' But the
critical eye Of Remington had caught a
fatal defect.
Wait a minute, Gus he said, those
fellows have their bandanas on all
wrong"
The men had them tied loosely around
their necks, with the pendent flaps hang
ing down over their shoulders.
What's the matter?" queried Thomas;
