GEORGE aXD HORACE. ‘The cheeks were red and the noses cold, Of the maidens shy and the hunters bold, And the bracing, crisp November air, That snapped and crackled everywhere, Was filled with the old familiar sounds Of stamping steeds and kenneled hounds, Impatient waiting in tethered space, To Join in the wild impetuons race! At last it came, and the Dumblane drag, Chased by the hounds with the white-tipped wag. : Over the fields and tho fences, flew, Horees and riders with shrill halloo! Neville in front, and Washington, Jouett and Lodge and Lodge's son, Knutt and Hooe and Page and Blair, Ryder and Wallach and others there, Bounding along o'er hill and vale, Always in sight of Reynard’s tail; Away throngh the woods and the open ground, Clearing the road at a single bound, On went the hunters; the hunted, on; And out of sight, the hunt was gone; ‘Then down went Neville into the bog, And over him hunter and horse and dog; And Washington, forging to the front, From bog to finish led the hunt; In his snow white pants and his snow white hat, He was the Nimrod after that; And when it was done, at the final rush, He was the hunter who took the brush. And the Damblane Club will never cease To say that the first in War and Peace, Should be accorded the greater cheer Of first in the first Dumblane this year! ee ly BACK AT HIS DESK. Adjutant General Kelton Resumes His Du- ties. Adjutant General Kelton, who has been ill for nearly nine months past, returned to his desk in the War Department this morning and resumed his duties.

He held quite a reception this morn- ing as the news of his return spread through the department. NO INDIAN WAR THIS WINTER, HE THINKS. He said to a Stan reporter that he did not believe thero would be any warfare with the Indians this winter. They are too well trained, in his opinion, not to foresee the inevitable cousequences of an outbreak at this time, but they will probably keep up their dances and shout for their Messiah until the grass grows again. ‘Then, perhaps, they may have the courage to fight, but not until then.

How It Was Observed in This City—Relig- fous Services—The Poor Looked After. ‘Yesterday was almost an ideal Thanksgiving day, as far ae the weather had anything to do with the holiday. ‘The sun shone brightly dur- ing the greater part of the day and the air was marked by the sharpness which made a spin over a country road or a walk along the streets delightful, especially with the prospects of a cheerful fireside and a good dinner in the back- ground.

Taylor's Report Upon the Militia of the Country. Capt. D. M. Taylor of the ordnance depart- ment, who is charged with the supervision of supplies issued to the militia, in his annual re- port to the Secretary of War says that the increased interest in the militia officers caused by the passage of the act of February 12, 1887, hae not been apparently maintained so far as numbera show. Tho militie force February 1, 1890, was 103,292, as against 106,506 in Feb- ruary, 1889, but this apparent decrease is, it is thought, deceptive, owing to lack of reports from some states known to possess an organ- ized militia. Floride, Louisiana, Mississippi, Dakota and Washington, which were ‘un: accounted for in the report, are known to possess 6,177 militia, which would make the grand aggregate in 1890 of 109,469, or an in- crease of 2,963 in one year. Capt. Taylor says that the small balances left at the end of each fiscal vear are usually those which prudence has dictated as a necessary emergency reserve and does not mean that no more money is needed. He therefore w yy Congress of the pen the militia, Capt. Taylor also calls attention to the disproportion in numbers between the cav- alry and the infantry militia. CAVALRY ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD BE EXCOURAGED. He says that cavalry is one of the most difti- cult arms to improvise, and some steps should be taken to encourage the formation of new and to foster existing cavalry organizations in the National Guard. He recommends that Congress ‘authorize ‘and appropriate for, the placing in each state which bas more than 5,000 regularly organized militia,at much place therein as the governor may indicate,and where stables and forage shall be provided at the expense of the state, of sufficient horses, not to exceed #eventy-five for each state, to mount a troop of cavalry, with a detachment of regular cavalry soldiers to gare, for them and with sch now commissioned officers as may be competent: act us instructors in riding and tactics.
