Apart from the gain in discipline and moral effect here implied, the actual pecuniary wiving in the expenses of recruiting and in the supply, of elothkeg, eqaipmenta and horses is very great, since deserters do not scruple to take off whatever 'Gavernmont property may 1m of service ta them. What is the emuse of this fortunate change? No doubt several onuses have co-operated to produce it, but the most jpoesnt probably are Mie recent wise and successful effort to make the calling of the soklier more nearly, as General Miles onee expressed it, 4uch as Mie young man of the country will seek aad the veterans will desire to retain." The last Congress was unprscedentedly liberal in its legislation for this purpose. It increased the per diem allowances in money paid for the performing extra or non-military duty. It created the new grade of Post Quartermaster Sergeant, which opened eighty new places for promotion, with increased pay and allowances, to men who had served creditably daring four years or more. These promotions and transfers in turn opened vacancies among the company sergeants and corporals. Inspector-General Davis is authority for the statement also, that the supplies of food and clothing have been generally good in quantity and quality, aad promptly delivered during the year. Bat perhaps the greatest incentive to remaining in the service has been furnished by the act passed by Congress last winter enabling any enlisted man who has served as such for thirty years to be retired, if be wishes, with threefourths of his pay, and also of his allowances for subsistence and clothing. Already ninety-five enlisted men, mostly Bon-commissioned officer, have taken the beaeit of this act. They J;enerallv get, wim their allowances for ood and clothing, from three hundred dollars to five hundred dollars a year, aad in some eases still more than the latter sum. General Rochester has recommended the payment of nine dollars a month in lieu of the ration and clothing allowances, and General Drum suggests a payment of a gross sum for aV and allowances, which would vary roni $53.40 per month for chief musician!! to B93.90 for artificers. Thus it will be seen that the maximum 'allowance for enlisted retirement is really above six hundred dollars a year. There are many non-commissioned oaloes like mom of Ordnance Sergeant, Quartermaster and Commissary Ser?;eHiit, and Hospital Steward, which reouently fall as rewards to veteran soldiers, so that their retired incomes are goae-rahy very good. Besides this, the lawa. allowing interee. oa the deposits of enlisted men, mad from their pay, not only encourage frugality, but furnish a considerable capital aot aside for old age. There is also the possibility of earning a coniiwheioa, since every year sees promotion from the enlisted men to the Second Lieutenancies Fer example, in 1379 there were six such promotions; the next year, fourteen; the next, one; the, next, ten; the next, four; the next, .ix; and the present year, wc be lieve, four or Ivo. But without reck oning this, cmaaae, the youth who aalnts see before him the prospect of retiring at the age of fifty with an income that will support him to the end of his dav, and long before tiist age he will probably, if faithful, have received promotion and lighter duty, suited to advancing years. The last Congress legislated wisely in this respect. Against the increase in expense it thus authorised waa set of a Miring in some other direction; while now into the ultimate reckoning must go the saving in Mm expense of recruiting and in the capture of deserters. OMwr rmproreaaents and reforms in the condition of the enlisted man are possible. Meanwhile, it may be hoped Mtat the monetroue high-water mark of sMeertkm in the past will never again Sc reached. -ifV. Y. Stm.

The wredics of Miose beams have been discovered among the ruins, presenting a sorry sight and inculcating a lesson on the danger of counting one's chickens before they are hatched. There is the Stmrman boom, so long wrapped up in a corner of the bloody shirt, and the Logan articie of the. same kind, which occupied a whole sleeve of Mm ensanguined garment. They are but memories now and will, probably, be lost to memory when the next Republican Kalional Convention comes around.

Logan, Bushed with his accidental sucoeas in IlUnoU, ouittad Mm boundless prairies, donned the bloody garment and made a raid on the stump in this State. He is now searching for the scattered fragments of his boom. Foroker, who waa also affected by Mm biasing of the Presidential bee, want back to Ohio a wiser man, convinced that sectional It ate is not so popular as,' he thought. Carr, who was conjuring up fancies regarding the VkM-I'reat-dency, tried the ssiae fatal garment, and his incipient boom vanished. One of the saddest wrecks is John S. Wise, who was persuaded by little Mahone Mint his victory in Virginia would entitle him to honorable mention, at least, in the next National Convention. His was a very tiny, unpretending boom, but he hugged it all the closer. He foreswore his Democracy, and his former Assertion of IovhUv to his training and education, and joined hands with the enemies and slanderers of Ms native State. He now lies with hi little boom and Makone in a political grave from which there te no resurrection. Sherman and Logan may endoavoi to construct new booms by endeavoring to propagate the gospel of hate in the Senate, for it would lie idle to expect that even the severe lessons they nave received can shake their affection for their bloody shirt But such booms are bound to go the way of their predecessors at the polls. , Blaine has disappeared as a prominent factor in thu Presidential line, and Kvarts, who was looking forward to 1892 as a candidate on the Columbus or discovery platform, will have to content himself with his Senatorial terra. The popular vote deals in the moat uncompromising manner with booms, which are wrapped up in the Nessus garment of sectional hate. Albany Argus. PRESIDENT AND CABINET. Futile Attempts of the KepublleuHS ta SHk Up Bfeeo la ike DemeeraUe Party by "Msnafaeturiag" Trouble. Whenever the Republican press is at a loss for something to say against the Administration it falls back oa the stale and unprofitable yarn of dissatisfaction between the President and his Cabinet It seems useless to endeavor to convince those crazy-quilt sheets of the utterly ridiculous nature of such an assertion. They hug the delusion all the closer, as they do the myths of John Roach's ruin, the bloody shirt and the steamship subsidy. Never was a Cabinet more harmonious and aealohs in carrying out the policy of the President than that which surrounds Mr. Cleveland. Every member is thoroughly imbued with the spirit of reform and the neaessity of faithfully fulfilling the highest expectations formed of the Administration. Only earnest and united efforts could have accomplished the vait amount of valuable work done during the past eight months. The radical changes introduced into each department facilitating its operations and attaining results which a year ago would have been deemed impossible, the sensible improvement of the public sen-ice, efficiency, integrity and dispatch taking the place of incompetency, corruption and red tape, the abolition of gross abuses, the impartial dispensation of justice and the infusion of new life, energy and practicability in every branch of the Government, all testify to the harmonious working of the President and his Cabinet. Tho faets constitute a sufficient answer to the idle rumors of the Republican press and are further corroborated by the testimony of a high official, who is well informed on the subject He says: Bearly every member of bht efnelat household has had a dMaereement with Mr. Cleveland, ir newspaper reports are to be ere II ted. Messrs, liarard, Oariand and Vilas have been particularly mentioned as coming under the baa of the President's displeasure. Awl now. to again reported that he is dtstaUefled with tcretnry or State. I happen to know that rumors are whollr a-roundlees. I do not ve a l're!ent ever aot along wMn his net more harmontouMy than Mr. Clevemad, and he has not, nor ever has had, any men or milking a change in the head of any eae of t.ia department. The reluutoiit between tb a President and his ndvleete are of the tnot 'oniial character, and notWngtbnt 1 can see is Mkety to disturb them. The party organs can not understand this harmony, or how such a body of public officiate should be inspired solely with Mie idea of doing their duty honestly and fearlessly. They bear in mind only the intrigues and deceptions of other Cabinets, and conclude that the present Administration must follow the example of its Republican predecessors. It is hard for them to acknowledge the superior working of a Democratic Government, but they will have to do so, sooner or later. Meanwhile, to spare themselves further ridicule, they should give up the foolish work of manufacturing trouble in the Cabinet. Their efforts only exeite derision. Albany Argus, Should Do Its Own Work. It has now been demonstrated that elections oan be carried without the aid of navy yards, as the recent eBort in New York abundantly testifies. It is ateo plain that we are to have an administration of the Navy Department which i not a standing offense in the eyes of honest men. These thing being assured, there is every reason why the Government should construct its own yards, where it may build its ships as well as repair them. Large amounts have bean expended on the plants of all the yards, and it is safe to assume that this property ought to be saved and put to some good use. If Congress will repeal the ridiculous law giving ten hours1 pay for eight hours of work and authorise the Secretory of tha Navy to go into Mte labor market on the same terms as the prfvate builders, or allow him to pay by tha hour, the interests of the uo of the Govern-, k1 by building ite" yards, where its ment will best bo served own shine in its own own chosen offloiais may superintend their (xmstnicUoTi. i7ggji'grwne.

Jack and Ertie lived in a city where, at the time of my story, very few families had open fire-places in their houses; and little Ette had asked her papa, as she kissed him good-night: "Wliy, papa, how is Santa Clans goin' to dut in when there is no fire-place?" This question really puzzled nip Hillscombc, but he told the children tlmt Santa Clans would lind his way in, and that it would be all right in the morning. But after the children had gone to bed a queer look came over their papa's good-natured face, and it was plainly to be seen that he was thinking of littlo EffiVs question, It happened, too, that the children were not satinfied with the answer he had given them; and while pans was locking up the house for the night, and attending to the furnace, they were still exchanging opinions on this weighty subject from their little cot. Suddenly Jack sat bolt upright. He had an idea! And In another moment he had toppled out of bod and made his waj on tip-toe to Eftie's cot. A whispered consultation followed, and in a few minutes later both little cote were deserted, and two tiny white figures were creeping noiselessly down tko Htairuaae. All the doors were locked ana all the windows closed, and papa was just Shutting the iron door of the great fur nace in the cellar, wneu ue was starueu bv voices which seemed to come from the furnace itself. L'or a moment he amused himself with the fancy that Santa Glaus was really making his way wh bv the furnace: then he thought lie fiiiiriil have left a door unlocked. The thoughts of Santa Clans or other . ... , rr.. ..! i CSS welcome viwiurs were, nowoor, soon forgotten when he heard the sound of children's voices, and found that it was Jack and Eftio who were talking. Fapa opened the furnace door again and listened. Am . m - . They were evidently talking near the register, for what they said was dainly heard through the Jurnnco-pipe y Fapa liillscomiK!. Jack was say vne: "O Eftle! how oan Santa Clans ever bwing my big sled through the wegi.s for?" "Or my doll's house?" said Eftle. There was a pause, then Jack ex claimed, triumphantly: "I know! let's take the top oft." But," said Effie, "we're not bid enough." "Oh! you're only a dirl; can do it." Then followed mule a struggle be twecn Jack and the "wcgitcr," but it was only after the "dirl" had come to bis aid that Jaok was able to lift the iron plate: and then papa heard her say, in a solemn tane: "Da you fink, Jack, he could (let a doll's house through dat?" "Oh, Santa Clans can do anything!" was Jack s comforting reply. The two little peonlu were on their knees, peering intently down the dark opening, when suddenly they were startled by a voice, whioh seemed to come up through the hole in the floor. The voice said: "It's time little children were in bed! Santa Claim can't bring his presents till everybody is fast asleep!" The children could not tell the voice, as it came up through the pipe, and with a cry of "He's tummingl Santa Clans is tummtng!" two little figures in white scampered up-stairs ami back to their oots. The next morning (as bright a Christ1MV as ever dawned) found two Httle figures, not in white this time, standing over a pile of pretty presents heaped up around Um register; among which might be seen a brightly-painted nfels-h with "Eflle and Jaok. ia big apti lettera, ta the side, and n Wonder

There Mutt be some insect lovers among tha Trilmm, 'Young Folks," and I want te toll them of a evuious fact about spiders. Some days since, while sitting on the porch enjoying the early morning. I noticed two beautiful spider welw among the vines. I have beau fond of watching spi-lerg ever sines I was a very little girl, Incited thereto by u;father having taken me into the garden and shown me a large, brilliwiitly colored fellow that had made his wub in a ouu'Rut bush, and desiring niu not to meddle with it I have been inter ested in tliciii, and bees and nnU as well, ever aiuce, and have watched them for a great many minutes at a time. While looking, all at once I saw one of the Hiddtu'fi run from the oenter of . . .a u. tiiO'Weu drawing two tiireaus mgoiimr as ho went; hu unfastened the end and went baek rolling up the thread; thou he took the next two threads extending from the center, once doubling unit of the web as I have seen the sniis of a ship furled; this continued until the whole web was folded into a tiny packet, when ho took it between Ihh fotvlegs and hid himself under ;t leaf. Then l turned my attention to the tuner, ami in h short tune this pcrforuuiiice was repoated, and he too went to his re pose. As much as I have watched thco insecte I never saw anything of this kind before, nor have l ever read of such a thing. Several times during the mom my; j saw the sniders each under his chosen leaf and the next morning there were two wciw as beiorc. J his time i couldn't watch the folding, but :ftr breakfast I came out to look for thcin and they were both gone. The third morning there were two wcIm. and I saw one folded una alter a mm re turned anil found the other gone. This has been repeated nearly it not every day since until to-day, when there were no more webs to be eon. i have not seen them folded every day, but I have seen them spread and returning after a timo found uo trace of them. There is no one to disturb them and the work has been done by the curious littlu. owner itself. N. Y Trihum. MOSQUITOES. ew a Ohleuge Ananias MleHccd HkCeaapatltur. Jimson, the champion fish-story tel ler of the North Side; Finney, the champion snake-story teller of the South Side, and a few others of lesser note, were assembled one evening last weak, when the spirit moved Jimson to speak. "I have heard a good deal about New Jersey mosquitoes," he said, musingly, "but I never took much stock in the stories until this summer." "What changed your opinion?" in quired a quiet little fellow in the back of the crowd. "Well, I was down in the southern part of New Jersey visiting an old farmer. One night we heard A terrible bellowing, and the old man took his gun and wc sallied out to the cowpasture; but we were too late." "Too late?" remarked one of the crowd inquiringly. "Yes, too late. One of those blasted mosquitoes had stuok his beak clean through a cow and pinned her to a tree. I was awfully sorry. One of the most valuable cows, you know." There was a moment's silence, during which the crowd looked at Jimson in admiration. Then the quiet little fellow remarked: "Of course it killed the tree too?" "Oh, yea; split it right in two." "I thought likely." Then there was another pause, ami Finney asked: "Did you ever see Barber & Jonee boiler factory in the northern prtf thu State?" "No," responded Jimson. "I thought not." returned Finnev. "They have a pretty large mosquito there that they keep for business purposes." "What for?" queried one. "He slicks his beak through the copper plates, and then they rivet them. "Is that so?" "Yen, indeed: but they've lost Mm. One day they riveted, his beak into a large boiler, and he flew away with the boiler." , , There was a look of awe on the faces of all beholders as Finney finished. Several roeand stole awY to some quiet nook where they could give vent to their emotions in tears. "Down in Fennsylvania," saitl the auiut littlo man in his quiet, unassuming way, "I once saw a mosquito of considerable size. Ho was placed on an immense raised platform about three hundred feat high, and bad lon trained to use bis beak to drill the oil wells." One man groaned audibly "But what was he on the platform for?" inquired Finney. . "His bonk was too long to boused on the ground. Why, one time ho made a slip, and the blamed thing wont clear through to China." "Oh, come, now, that's too much, exclaimed several in unison. s "Fact, I assure you. Am! thnt witsn t tha worst of it. It clinched on the othr- side, and the darned mosquito flew -way with the world." There was a sound as of some one fAlling, Ami Finney was OArried out senseless.
