Recent purchases of Curtains, Silks, &c., at auction sales, and many other things at private sale at factory prices, allow us to name Values otherwise impossible.

They Are an Important Part of = Ship's Crew—The Lesson of the Victoria’s Loss. Chief Engineer George W. Melville of the navy has submitted his annual report to the Secretary, in the course of which he writes interestingly of the oft-discussed matter of conferring actual rank on engin- eers in the service. “Coming to the question of conferring Positive rank @nstead of the meaningless ‘relative’ rank now held by members of the engineer corps,” says Commodore Mel- ville, in introducing the subject, “I earnest- ly trust that the department will recom- mend to Congress some measures looking toward this just and proper recognition of the service performed by the officers of this corps. Why officers devoting their lives to the service, who have always had a certain Portion of the crew to organize, muster, discipline, station, and drill in the various WE CANNOT SPARE healthy flesh—nature never burdens ‘the body with too much sound flesh.

Marine officers have always exercised, * | over their guaru on board ship, st can be found .o even inumate thee the authority of the commanding officer ever the marine guard is any less than if the marine officer did not have this command. The line officers themseives exercise such ‘command’ in their divisions, but we hear of no instance of the commanding officer's authority being thereby lessened. The staff officers of the army have actual rank, and while a much larger and more complex or- | ganization than the navy, the army moves along with a harmony and an exhibition of mutual respect and good comradeship between officers of different departments which speak volumes.” An increase in the number of engineer officers is earnestly recommended in the New ships are taking most of the availab'e men, “and unless something is soon done,” it is stated, “our pa’ practically an engineering af e onege allncbe crippled for want of engineers, of the corps at sea on the new'v ms altogether too much work to a6 em it is merely a question of time before the strain will tell." Better treatment of petty engineer offi- cers, with respect of Mberty and accommo- dations, is urged, and it is suggested that inducements should be offered to secure a superior class of mechanics. During the last fisca' year the bureau of steam engineering expended $617,933, and subtracting outstanding obligations, has $15,518 remaining to its credit.

Immediately after he dismounted, Hayes, who weighs fully one hundred and ‘seventy pounds, strode over to « lad named Mur- ray, who was just leaving his saddle, and began beating the boy over the head and shoulders with his heavy riding whip. The boy, yelled with pain, and managed to get out of the stirrups, and run away. The peo- ple in the grand stand were howling like a band of Indians, but Hayes paid no at- tention to them and followed the lad up, Murray got away by jumping a fence, and Hayes went back to the judges’ stand.

The superintendent said loudly into Hayes’ ear: “ id, you are not fit to ride in a gentleman's race.” Hayes was now angered beyond control, and he struck Mr. Mortimer on the jaw.
