Washington replied: “Young man, you area prophet, inspired to speak what I am contident will one'day "be realized.” ‘The next recorded comment on this idea wasalso by Gen Washington, who suid just after the permanent location of’ the uatioual capital: “While the work of establishing a national university may be properiy deferred until Congress 1s comfort- abiy accommodated and the city has vo far grown as to be prepared for it, the enterprise | must not be forgotten, and (referriug to his in- | tended bequest) [ trust that 1 have not omitied | to take such measures as will at ull events secure DE.

Robineon’s second battalion, fourth regiment, Col. Willard Howard, says the Baltimore Sun, has decided | toorder ont the entire regiment early in the pring of the new year for regular service tn the field. Orders will be ined to the men to assemble at the armory on a certain afternoon. | Col. Howard will then march his command | some distance from the city and bivounc for | the night. Sentinels will be posted and picket lines established at certain distances from the joamp, as if in an enemy's country. The horees of the field officers and staff will be | Picketed. camp-fires lighted and the men will | cook their rations the same as in war times Officers and men, excepting those on duty, will roil themselves in their blankets and sleep with- ‘out the shelter of house or tent. Early the fol- lowing morning reveille will arouse every man | march still further into an imaginary ene- my’s country, Scouting partica will be con- | tinuously kept in advance of the main body of | troops, and when favorable ground is reached and the suppored hostile force is in sight | preparations for attack will be made. Then j Will come a sham battle, which will be made ns realistic as possible. Col. Howard will bring into play all the maneuvers of war made nects- sary by the new regulations. It is thought the | practice will be most vaiuable to the officers and men. Such ideaa have never been carried outin the Maryland Natfousl Guard, even when in camp. The o field service, except drill, has been the anrual outings of inson’s command on Thanksgiving d previous outings of his command were made field, line and ntaff officers believe in being real soldiers and of fitting themeolves and their men |for active service. They think the day has sed when the National Guard troops are to called play soldiers and their officers figure- | heads. LIEUT. PARRAREE RESIONS. Unoficially it fs understood at brigade head- quarters that Lieut. Farrabee, who has been such an efficient inspector of rifle practice in the fourth battalion, has tendered his resigna- tion and will leave the gnard. All those who have been and are interested in the growth of rifle practice will regret Lieut. Purrabee's de- termination, which, it is asserted, apringe from his physical’ condition. Some months ago the lieutenant had a uacrow escape. He evilided with « cable car and, but for lis prosence of wind, would certainly have met a horrible fate He managed, however, to roll out of the way but not before he was badly bruised. For some time he was confiued to his bed, bat be ia out | once more now. He has been a valuable officer and merits all the approbation which has been accorded him, Those who claim to be good at ng have it that the vacancy will be filled the promotion of Quartermaster Sergeant S. D. Kotrame! of the fourth. WHAT THE EXGINEEES ARE DOIN. ‘The eugineer corps held its regular monthly meeting Inst Monday event: the election of civil officers for the coming year. G. G.
