Synopsis of Gen. Nboi iuv u's Annual Report. The annual report of Gen. Sbermin shows the genoral staff to consist of 573 officers and 1,212 enlisted men. The army proper consists of 10 regiments of cavalry, 431 officers and 0,a8 men; 5 regiments of artillery 280 officers and 2,493 men; 25 regiments of infantry, S76 officers anc. 8,773 men; totob including unavailable men detailed at various points, 2,1C5 officers and 23,024 mea He . says the experience of the world shows that but 06 per cent of tin army is available for active service, and, as 25,000 men are really needed for a stand ing army, he recommem'ls that the limit of the army be increased to 30,000. lite officers and men in tho army are now, he says, overworked, and must continue so, unlets the number is Increased. Ho revews the work' of the year somewhat in detail, irriviiig at the conclusion that there has been a lees numb- r of Iudion outbreaks in the rear than at any time for twenty years. Part of this is due to she efficiency of the army, and part to the ad vane, ment of civilization in tho West. Tho report devotes cons d'era'iln space to the growth of the great West, and says that, now that the transit on jieriod is pa t, ic is due to the Government to select certain strategio po nts for permanent army posts, and construct comfortable buildings on them, so as not onper to compel th officers and men to live in holes in the g round, shanties, or

grei n Cottonwood log huts, as heretofore. There have been 1,74! trials by court-martial d .ling the year. He recommends a change in t ho svst'em of courtt -martial, saying tho

present system was established by cus om in the English army a hundred ye irs ago, when the li-ibit was to tline at 3 o clock and ge drunk af erd nn r. which habit is now, happ.lr, done nwav will. Tne numlier of dese t ons during the year was 8 731, and enli-tments and re-enlistment 7,341. Commenting on the numlier of desertions, he says ninny ure those of men who enl fit in Eastern c ties, and after getting free transportation West desert, knowing t lore will be 1 ttle eff.-rt to bring them buck or punish them. The remedy, ho thinks, is in i etter trea'ment of those who stay, and re -ic severe punishment of des riexa Ho reeomment J an increase of the piiy of men to $10 p r month, instead ot S13, as now, and that punislumnt for desertion be made more severe, even innietliv.' capital puui liinent in ajgruva led cases, as Is one by oihoi countries. Tie general condi ion of tho army personnel has been impiuved, as has (he gmeral condition of the people of tho countiy at large. The recent rifle contests hive made great iiup ovem nts in tho intxksmanship of the nn n and he r conmn n .Is an appropr afion foi o nUouuig the wuik. He recommends: the ado; tion of some lan by which regiments ind -ftl ers cm be given do nite terms in iciiiote posts nnd then be ul owed t ' return to the comforts of ehilted life, ai d their p ac s lie tukt u by others. He recouuiien 'K tho employment of teach- rs for schools at posts, -l ying men from tho army eiin no be spared tor this purpo-e, and remarking that as officers in spite of sa e ad vice, will marry and have families they ought to be provided for in the best manner possible. . The Horse and the Man. Tho man has cut wvay the frog because ho thinks that the animal will be injured if the frog touches tho ground. He hits then cut a deep groove at the base of the frog. This is to give a " wellojipiipd heel," as he in pleasod to call it. He has scooped awa; the sole to "give it spring." He has scored a deep notch in the toe for the purpose of receiving the "clip" of the shod. This is evident ly a conservative relis of the time when nails wero not wuvl, and th oiioe attached by throe-poiniiod clips hammered over tho edge, one. in front and one on either side. Then h n has improved the whole of tho outer nufiu-o oi the hoof. As tho Cruator has furnished thi part of the hoof with a thin, hard, polished plate forming a sort of varnish which is impervious to wet, tl e furrier, as a matter of eour.-io. rasps it. all away up to the crown. And as the Creator lias plaeed round tho crown a fringe of hair which ante as a thatch to the lino of junction and throws off the rt.in upon tho waterproof varnish, he cuts this away with bis scissors. 1 justly, tlio Creator having

given to tlie horny h -Kif a mottling of J soft, and partially translucent, brown, gray-blue, yellow, bli ck and white, never , exactly the same in two hoofs, much ) less in two horses, the farrier takes a !

Uucking-pot and brush, polishes up o hoofs until they look like pntent-leatn-er boots, all four exactly alike, aud

then comtemplates his work with satinfaction. In his own words, he has "turned out a finished job of it." (Joad li'ordtt. Anecdote of a Great Naturalist. A good story is told of Agassiz, the great naturalist. His fatber destined him for a commercial life, and was impatient at his devotion to frogs, snakes aud fishes. Tho last especially were the objects of the boys attention. His vacations he spent in making journeys on fool through Europe, examining thp different species of fresh-water fishes. H tin ue to London with letters of int -nduction to (Sir Hoderick Murchison, 'You have been studying nature," said tho great man bluntly. "What have you learned V" The hid was timid, not sure at that moment that ho had learned anything. "1 think," he said, at last, I know a little about fishes." "Very '-ell. There will bo a meeting of the Koval Society to-night. I will take

I you with me there." All tlie great j savants of England belonged to this s iciety. That evening, towards its close,' Hir Hoderick rose and said: "I I have tt young friend hero from Switzerland, who thinks he knows something ! about fishes; how much, I hove a fancy I to try. There is under this cloth a per1 feet skeleton of a fish which existed long before man." He then gave the i : xacf locality in which it had been found i with one or two other .facts concerning i A Tlie species to which the specimen lielonged, was, of course, extinct. "Can you sketch for me nn the black- ! board' your idea of this R fhV said Sir

lioilerii'k. Agassaz took up the chalk, hesitated a moment, and then sketched rapidly a skeleton fish. Sir lloderiek h:ld up the specimen. The portrait w as ci -rrect in every bone and line. The grave old doctors burst into loud applause. "Sir," Agassaz said, on telling the story, "that was the proudest moment of my lifo no, the happiest, for I knew, now, my father would consent that I should give my life to science." The Uosloulau's Churclt-Golng Honr. It has been repeatedly sntfofested that tho honr for morning church should he I I o'clock instead of 10 ::J0. But no one acts upon the suggestior, and congregation, continue to drop into their sittings long after service has commenced. Because church has begun at 10:30 since all time, there is a prejudice among good, people to stick to the original hour, and do as their forefathers, beginning their worship early, and getting through with it. Now, 1.1 a. m. may be called u Christian hour for clinch. Nine o'clock breakfast is digested by that time, the Sunday p ipers read, the hist touches put to the children's toilets by proud mammas, the cook and housemaid respectively inturviowed. All this accomplished, the heads of the house may then safely repair to the sanetuary with a clear and undivided attention, to jjet all the good they may from the service and sermon. Let any one but an idler draw the contrast between such a state of things and the hurry incidental to our presont churchgoing h- mr. If we are not mistaken, 11 o'clock is the regulir hour in England, and, with some few exceptions, in

to retain its puritanical notiou, aud hangs on by its teeth to 10 :30, just as it did to the ringing of the 9 o'clock bell, nhich was supposed to be the signal for instantly going to bed.

A STORY OF VEPiTOiATIOS. A Iieeture That wan Theoretically Perfect nut Practically a FaUuru. (Berlin Letter to San Fraiiuliloo Oliroulolo l Chicago and I, having matte the acquaintance of a GermiMi medical student, accepted an invitation td attend s lecture on physiology. We entered a room twenty-five by thirty, and found it already occupied' by about seventyfive other people. All the windows were tightly closed double windows at

that. And every one who came in opened the door just wide enough to allow his body to slip ia, aud hastily closed it. Hut even the small amount of air thus admitted filled the souls of tho previous comers with a great anxiety, causing them to rejrard each successive unfortunate with disfavor. There was a combination of most pungent and searching smells in that room, besides thatcoming from the sweltering bodies and lalxmng lungs of tho people present. Tho fumes of earliolic acM predominated ; but iodof ome was only a little way behind, and made the aid bestir itself to keep in the lead. Then came a lot of uusortod smells from sulphurated hydrogen to ammonia varying only in their different degree of offensiveness. And then camo the smell of tho air which had been confined in that room since the windows had been last opened -probably a yeni

or two and which had been breo.tlied. rebreathed and breathed over again daily by from seventy-fivi to a hundred i pairs of good, strong, vigorous German j lungs. I make no mention of the Oer- ! man cigars and long German pipen that j were adding their smells to the already ! overburdened air, because I smoke once

in a while myself, and to acknowledge that tobacco smoke is ollensive under any circumstances would be giving the enemy a point. Therefore, to keep up appearances, I must say that this tobacco smoke was rather agreeable. In tho course of five or ten minute the Professor I lieg pardon, the Hen- Professor came in. And as he came in the pipes and cigars went out. but the foul air did not. Thin Herr Professor began to talk. His subject was the circulation of the blood through the lungs and its purification there. Hedescribed the process in detail. He spoke of the impuritias emanating from the human lungs at every expiration. He vaxed eloquent over the black hole at Cnlcntta. Then he came don-u tc facts aud figures, altivnriug that ever adult person exhaled foul air enough atevery expiration to render such a roon as the one we we e then iu unfit for hu man habitation a very few hours. He spoke of the many evils of fou . air, and impressed it upon his hearenthat fresh air is a ueexsary adjunct of perfect health. And all that time the four score pair of lungs in that room were working most vigorously, and things were becoming decidedly interesting for Chicago and me. Wo began to perspire profusely, our heads bfigan to ache, our ears rung, and we felt dizzy and saw double. All this time the Herr Professor was dilating upon the benefits of pure air aud she deleterious effects of ihe foul article. Finally Chicago, who was sitting near the door, could stand it no longer, but, aided and abetted bv me, reached over

and softly opened the door an inch or so. We drank in the life-giving oxygen, and felt as old Ponce do Leon would

When McClellau reached Malvern Hill in his retrograde movement he had the Federal gunboats a t his back. They took position in Turkey bend, a mile and a half above the hill, and from this spot they sent thoir monster shells over the Federals and into the woods where the Confederates were forming. One of tho shells fell in front of a Brigadier General from Georgia and two aides, and came rolling to their very feet. Like lightning each of the trio threw himself flat on the ground, rolled over once or twice, and then hugged tho ground and waited. They could hear the sputter of the burning fuse, and the chances of being wiped out were ninety-uine in a hundred.
