Army Appropriation Bill.

The conferees on the Army Appro-

which covers all points of difference
The amendment regarded as most I'M
portant is that affecting the pay OF re-
tired officers and involving the pay Of
General Miles, which at present IS the
full pay of a lieutenant general. The
effect of the agreement as to General
Miles issto give him his full retired pay,
without reference to any compensation
he may receive for service on the staff
of the Governor of Massachusetts,. The
provision agreed on reads;
That retired otticers of the Army
above the grade of major heretofore OF
hereafter assigned to active duty shall
hereafter receive their full retired pay
and shall receive no further pay or al
lowances from the United States; pro-
vided, further, that a colonel or leu
tenant colonel so assigned shall receive
the full pay and allowances OF a major
on the active list
OF the 81 amendments in the bill ~
conference, the Senate recedes from
four, and the House accepts the others.
Of the four which go out OF the bIl.
two are slight increases in amounts, and
two cover a provision that no army
posts shall be established without the
consent of the Secretary of War.

Be Ready For the Opportunity.

People are apt to think that, though
their actual lives are poor and self
eentered and such as they are half
ashamed. of, if some great crisis
arose they would be able to gather up
their hating will and raise themselves
to it's height. Yes, no doubt. Only
life's sternest calls never come in any
such fashion. Things don't arrange
themselves for us to gather up our fee
BILE will and settle with our souls that
we will be heroes. They come hardly
and sharply, testing not what we have
resolved to be, but simply what we are.
We have a sort of feeling that it is
the opportunity that makes the man.
Not so. The opportunity only shows
him for what he is, and the spirit OF
prompt duty, of quick, instructive 10y

ton may ever come. may be cultivated
and grow to the very capacity for her
