The navy regulations require that offi- cers shall serve three years at sea and three on shore, returning at thé end of the latter period to sew duty. Complaint has been made by some officers that they did not receive their full ume onshore. To remedy any such evil that may exist two officers, one from the line and one from the staff, will probably be detailed at an early date, to keep a record showing the kind of work officers are employed on and the lengih of time that they have been enguged. When three years of shore duty have el:psed, the oft- cers will be sent to sea. It issaid at the Navy department that if such an order is Issued there would not be more than ten or twelve oMicers aifected by it.

VERNON—Origin of the Custom.—The following account of the origin of the custom of tolling the bell on boats passing the tomb of Washington was yiven at a meot- Ing of the Literary society, hy Dr. Toner. in speaking of “The Memorials of Washington” on the 21st of February last “The tolling of the bell on vessels passing Mount Vernon isa touching memorial custom which in effect is n perpetual vi of reverential respect observed by otticers «and senmen while passing the last resting place of the soldier and statesman who gave independ- ence to America. This token of regard, It is sald, originated on a French merchant vessel which had been to Alexandria for a cargo, and xolng down the river afer Gen, Washington's death, but before lls interment, placed its colors at halcmast and tolled its bell continuously while passing the house of mourning, ‘This special testimony of respect inmapressed every person as becoming an ropriate, and it sat once taken up and practiced by all river Ever since then the bell is tolled vessels of every charicter and uation whl pass the tomb of Washington. It may, th fore, be claimed to have grawn into a custam Of impressive reverential respect, observed by ai vessels salling up and down’ the Polomae river.” THE MICKADO LiTIGATION.—Mr, Ford Is ad- vised that “The Mikado" copyright ease will be argued before Judge Wallace, U.S. court, at Syracuve, N. ¥., on Thursday, August 20th, This has been arranged by consent, “The case is Carte vs. Duff.

A TRIBUTE Fino THE LEADING ENGLISH NEWSPAPER IN YOKOMOMA. “Were we asked to sum up the results of Judge Bingham’s offleial doings In Japan, we should place first the fact that he has taught the Jap- anese the’ possibility of makinga friend of a foreign minister. That signifies a great deal, It sigaliles that there has been accomplished here the change for which thoughtfal westerns in China also are beginning to be impatlent—the substitution of sympathy and persuasion for d mastery.

Fron. a study of our esteemed contemporaries 4a other cltics itis manifest that the great ma- Jority of them are determined to defeat the attempt to build a national monument to Gen, Grant in New York, The impression produced by their remarks Is that {f they truly represent the sentiments of their subscribers, the whole amount necessary to bulld the monument must ve rafsed In New York eity alone. They will not help toward It, Of course in that ease the monnment would not be atribute from the people of the United States, like the Washington monument. at Washington. It would be in no sense national, but merely such a oneas may be erected By Chieago or Boston, or by any city of the Union. ‘The only possible diference would be that New York's inemorial might be larger or handsomer than the others, It would not signify any more than they. ‘The reason for this opposition is that the uni- versal opinion throughout the country is that Gen, Grant should be futerred In Washington, and that the burial place of any one who Is to be the subject of a national memorial is justly a question for popular decision. It is obvious that these Ideas are serlousiy hampering the progress of the fund, even if they do not result in totally changing its character; and we sub- mit them to the consideration of the committee in charge o1 it, It is certain, however, that no monument, however elaborate or however lofty, which Is built by one city alone, can be so impressive, orso worthy to commemorate Gen, Grant's ser- vices, as even a mere disorderly pile of rocks would be If the people of every state had shared in erecting it, Grant’s grivo should be under a national monument wherever it may be, a eer An Extra Session of Congress.

GRANT AND HER FAMILY—INTERESTING PERSONAL GOSSIP AND REMINISCENSES, Correspondence of Tar: EVENING STAR. Mount MoGrecor, N. Y., 2 August 13th, 1885. I first visited this mountain in September, 1882, the day after the adjournment of the memorable Saratoga convention that nomi- nated Secretary Folger for governor. Senator Warner Miller and Mr. and Mrs. John W. Vroo man were the others of the party invited to make the trip by Mr. William J. Arkell, the young and energetic vice president ofthe syn- dlcate, then newly owning the mountain ana its narrow-gat road which they had just built rom Beratora, The oni; house on the Summit was the old-fashioned rambling cot~ tage used as an inn and dwelling by Duncan McGregor, the former owner of the mountain— a brother, by the way, of the McGregor who gave his hame tow town in Iowa—where he Used to treat Saratoga visitors who came up the winding carriage-road of twelve miles to @ dinner of gonuine country fare, of which chicken pot-ple and doughnuts and éream were specialties. “MeGregor received $50,000 for his mountain and its ttle inn and retired toa small house at its base, The purchasing syndi where he still resides, te embraced several men Of large wealth, who can afford to wait for Years and pour money in all the time for im- provements before realizing on thelr invest. ent. "Among these were Jovephs W.

The enterprise has prospered so well from the opening of the, hotel that it early incurred the hostility of Saratoga, whieh has now Increased to formid- able proportions, since the death of the General upon the mountain and the unavoidable rete: Uon of his remains here until the temporary tomb, could be constructed, bave interfered with ‘the season’s gayety. This tecling, how- ever, will undoubtedly melt away in time, as the interests of the two places are not neces sarily antagonistic, but quite the reverse. The mountain 15 a great place for children to thrive in, and last year there was an average of fifty in’a total average of one hundred and forty guests; but the piazzas and out-door environ nents are so ample that they never seem in the way In sunshiny weather. Mrs, Grant is much attached to this spot, and feels that she could nowhere else bear the sheek of her widowhood with the same ap- peo tocomposure. She has left the cottage but once since bly death, On Thursday, the e walked down to the Eastern Outlook, now whistorie polnt in American eyes.

THE ACTION TAKEN ON A PETITION FROM ANACOSTIA FOR THE EXTENSION OF A WATER MAIN TO THAT PLACE. A few weeks ago a petition was received by the Commissioners from a large number of citi- zens of Uniontown asking that the water main on 11th street southeast be extended across the river to Anacostia, thence on the following streets: Monroe, Harrison, Jackson, Washing- tou and Jefferson. Lieut. Townsend has re- ported on the petition as follows: “When Poto- mac water is introduced into Anacostia the supply main not only should be large enough for the immediate wants of the locality, but xllewance should be made for future growth, The six-inch main on 11th street southeast was only tid to supply that street, and with the present water pressure It would ‘be too sinall to supply Anacostia in addition to its present re- quirements, Ido not consider it advisable to extend the water mains beyond the city limits until the vew reservoir is compicted. The twelvedach main on sth street could then be extended across the bridge and an ample sup- ply furnished for many years.” Major Lyd: directed the secretary to reply to the petitioners that “It will not be practicable to extend the water supply to Ana- coMti until the work now in progress for in- creasing the supply in Washin kt ‘and Georg: town has been completed, when the expediency and propriety of stich extension may be con- sidered. In any event Co nal action would probably be required before any steps are iaken in that direction,” ge sess tee District Government Affairs. A SALOON WHICH BOTHERS THE TUNNEL CON- TRACTORS.
