A Number of Recommendntion* Made to the Secretary of AVar, In Whlcli He Ask* That a Professional System of Advancement He Adopted and That Desertion Re Dealt Wilh—Other Washington Dispatches. Washi'GTOn, Oct. 80.—Maj. Gen. Miles, commanding the division of the Pacific, has submitted his annual report to the sccrutary of war. GenMiles recommends legislation for a better system of professional advancement for soldiers. Desertion, ho says, is the principal evil of the army, anti the various methods to diminish this crime, have not done so to any considerable extent, but the measures recently taken are a step in the right direction. He has, he says, for years recommended a change in the term of enlistment and also an improvement in the army ration. The recommendations made in this cemu ctiou in previous reports, h^says, would, if adopted, be a great benefit to the service. He also renews his recommendation of last year that the pay of first sergeants be made $'>0 per month, and the' pay if all non-commissioned officers of regiments be increased ftO jier cent. Regarding the condition of affairs in the department of the division of the Pacific, he culls attention to the reports of Gens. Gibbon and Grierson, commanding th • departments of the Columbia and Arizona. The subject oi-coast defences is, in his opinion, the nio.-t important military question now before the people of this country, an l there appears to be less information upon this subject and less interest taken in it than in any other National question. It is true, he continnes, that we sometimes hear the question a.-.ked why the government doe. 1 not not provide defenses for the coast and give protection to the great centers of v. ■ alth and commerce. W nen, in fact, the" executive and legislative branches o! the government are powerless to take such action unless sustained by an intelligent public sentiment. The rapidly increasing wealth in the great cities of the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coa-ts only serve, he lays, to court host 1.lies ('ti the part of foreign powers. The belief that all international questions can he settled by arbitration, is good ia theory but dangerous to rely m>on. There seems to be a mistaken belief, the general says, that in care of threatened Hostilities, ample time will always be given to prepare

for war.

At the rate of the present progress we are making, ho believes, it would take ten or fifteen years to put our coasis in

proper condition for defense.

In conclusion ho recommends that the sites required for coast defenses, and not Already in the possession of the government. be secured without delay; that a gun foundry be established on the Puctiic coast for the fabrication and assembling of heavy ordnance required for the army and navy serving on the coast, and in the waters of the Pacific, and that one-fourth of the appropriation required to place the coast in proper condition ot security be made

every year for the next lou'. years. Chant;** of Chilian Government.

Washington, Get. 80.—Information has been received here from Santiago, announcing the adjournment of the congress of Chili, which has just closed the most remarkable and momentous legislative session in the history of the country. The differences between the executive and the congress led to the passage of the new electoral law, and it will probably culminate in the passage of a new municipal, law. The former will secure to the people a larger share < >f elect. >rnl freedom than t hey have hitherto enjoyed, and it will render possible the election of a congre-s and president reflecting, if not entirely, at nil events nearly so, the will of tiie nation. The latter will confer upon the people a measure of sell-govern-ment to which i hey have hitherto been strangers, and of which it is possible a large proportion of them will have but an imperfect idea until the new law is

put in motion.

Cure of til'd armor plates. \\ hen tl/o armor trials at Animpol ; s demonstrated the victory of the nickel plate it was expected that nickel would advance in

price.

ko far as the information possessed by the department could form the base of judgment, some difficulty in procuring the "iota, was looked for. Congress was asked to make provision for the pur-chu.-o of nickel without delay. The urgency of the matter was made more ob\ ions by the efforts making by foreign armor and ordnance manufacturers to secure for their works the product of i he Canadian mineiJ, which was re-

g’.rded as the most accessible.

it seems that no inquiry has ever Veen made into the exact quat'^fv of l ickel in the work*. The disintei .ed authorities wete somewhat abiidged on tiie subject and tiie statements made by operators of nickel mines to the effect that the metal was scarce were invaribly accepted. The department detailed officers to examine the known nicitel min" 1 ; of the world with a view to their

pruluctivcnesi.

Commodore Folger, chief naval officer, visited the mine at Sudbury, in Canada, and brought back some specimens. Lieut. Buckingham, was seat to the mines in Nevada and officers who are attached to United States legations abroad visited sources of nickel in Europe. The results of these examinations, as expressed in docume.it reports and shown from specimens gathered at the various mines, show that the supply of nickel is not Uruited. It now appear- that there is ^.nailer reason for immediate action. According to reports all the nickel required for the armor plates can bo secured at prices proposed by the government. It

was discovered early that report to , ,, . . ., . , couretitivo bids would remove the lia- 1 r a |l‘' ^ ■ L ®r, ro bilitv of nnothing like imposition up n in , '‘ V I “ ■ 4l:e i i iulnT. i:m h„. .'m,„,.,i n„. I sn t mvolu.-tno right to use a harness

The summer lias ended. Books of other kinds are now in request, and we find them not less abundant than novel ', if we know where to In k for them. Of late years there ha* btvn a most remarkltble prodnotion of what are culled books of reference, in which knowledge is stored away and arranged for convenient use when wanted. Some of tiicse dictionaries and encyclopedia* of knowledge are wonders of cheapness and excellence; others arc of such extent that they cannot be of low price, but most of them command a sale in this country that surprises even their sanguine projectors. A really good book of reference appears to be one of tiie tilings which American families arc 1 most willing to mako sacrifices to get. Noah Webster published his large dietiouary in 1823. The first edition, consisting of 2,500 copies, limed twelve yean, and the -econo edition, of U.OOO copies, supplied tho market for seven y, ars. We have now dictionaries ami encyclopedias that cost ffiO, $80 and $150, which reach a larger sale Immediately than Wet s‘er’sdictionary enjoyed during the whole lifetime of the

author.

Such facts ns these indicate that the reading of fiction docs not destroy the taste for the acquisition of knowledge, as is frequently alleged. Thackeray was dis|x>scd to cast ridicule upon young ladies who rend “improving works,” and Dickens waa not free from the same propensity. But, in fact, the best students are often the best novel readers. In the must intelligent households wo see on the upper shelves of tho bookcase plenty of Scott, Thackeray, Dickens, Hawthorne and Howells, ballasted on the lower shelves by the soli 1 volumes of the encyclopedia and the diction-

ary.

During the w inter months the works of reference come into great play in many of the beat school* and clubs, where a “winter subject" is chosen, uud the advanced pupils “read nil round it” until they have absorbed most ot the knowledge that exists upon it. “Africa” has been selected as the winter topic by one of our Boston evening clubs, apropos of tbe new African books by Stanley, Ward and other*. It gives point ami inter‘*t to re., ling to have such n subject in view. As the months go by we gradually get full possession of it, correcting erroneous impression* and getting light upon it from other minds.—Youth's Companion. A IloliiiMo AsBintaiit. Mrs. Mattie Jack- jn, wife of Rev. C. Ii. Jackson, paster of the Christian Church of the Evangel, Brooklyn. N. Y., conducts tha (unday services for he.- kuabaud whenever he is ill or ub.-.-ot.
