Bartlett] received a letter last night from the] adjutant general of the army in an-I swer to hie request to assign officers of the regular army as military instructor at the Middle Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical College at Milledge-] viile, and at the Gordon Institute at Barnesville. In the letter Adjutant General Cor bin says: “The majority of the regular army officers having been assigned at sta tions beyond the seas, it is necessary that all the available officers accom pany their regiments, while the officers serving in the United States who can be spared from the regiments are needed at the present time for muster ing and recruiting duty Therefore it can not be foretold at the present time when the details of the officers on the active list of the army to instructions of learning will ’be resumed.”—Macon News.

Curry, Third Georgia volunteer infantry, who killed Private Leo Reid, battery I, Second artillery, last January at Savannah, will be tried for murder by the civil authorities. Acting upon the instruc tions received yesterday from the head quarters of the army, the officials at department headquarters notified W. VV. Osborne, solicitor general at Sa vannah, that the prisoner, who is now in confinement at Augusta, would be turned over to the authorities at Sa vannah whenever desired. During the afternoon the papers in the case, including the official charges were mailed to Mr. Osborne and it is probable that a true bill will bo re turned by the grand jury of Chatham county. This action on the part of the offis cers at department headquarters was caused by the scarcity of officers in this department. It was found several days ago that it would be impossible to obtain a sufficient number of offi cers to compose the board without de tailing those outside the department, and the war department, having been appealed to, instructed that the pris oner be turned over to the civil au thorities. A Serious Avocation- A woman blessed with good sense does not consider at the start that mar riage is a role to be skillfully and sue- I cessfully enacted, or a grand frolic.of which she is to be the admired and ■ indulged center, or a mere incident in i a life crowded with other activities. She knows that marriage is a serious and steady vocation and that the true wife is one who enters marriage not thinking how much she can get out of it, but how much she can put into it. It is this larger conception of mar riage which make women dwell by their own firesides in sweet con tent with what is commonly called the “narrow limits of home,” knowing well that no true home is narrow since it must give food, raiment, and work to earn them withal; love and marriage, birth and death, rightdoing and wrongdoing—all these common places of humanity which ate most divine because they are most common place. The way to make home a wide place to dwell in is to bring a wide personality to dwell in it Any home is just as wide as the maker, and can be no wider When a woman under stands this she is able to keep her head steady and her heart undisturb ed over newspaper sketches about Other women in which each of them is made to do the most remarkable things.—Ladies Home Journal. Knew Him and Didn’t. A young couple called at a fashiona ble boarding bouse in the West End a couple of weeks ago to engage board, says the Washington Post. They were from Chicago, and the husband bad recently secured an appointment. The landlady, an amiable and pretty, if a trifle faded little woman, showed the couple the vacant rooms, and one of them was finally accepted. “Now, you’ll want references, of course,” said the young wife, after the terms bad been fix. Then she men tioned the name of a Washington man of some [imminence. “You know him, or of him, I pre sume,” she ioquited. “He is my hus band’s uncle" “Weil,” replied the landlady, “I cannot precisely say that I know him Nobody ever really knew him ; he’s something of a mystery. Now, I was married to him for twelve years, and at the conclusion of that period, when I secured my divorce, I don’t think I could have conscientiously placed my hand over my heart and declare that I actually knew him. Some men are so difficult to get acquainted with, you know." The situation was a bit embarrass ing, but the young couple took the room they had decided upon, anyhow.

Havana, April 6—One result fol lowing the dissolution of the Cuban assembly will be the reinstatement of Gen. Gomez, as the commander in chief of the Cuban army, until it is disbanded. A number of Cuban gen erals discussed the matter today, but decided to postpone final action until Generals Betancourt and Dias are heard from. The delay is merely a matter of form, as both of the generals favor Gen. Gomez. Action will be taken at the meeting Friday. It is hoped that this action will induce Gen. Gomez not to go to San Domingo. President Andrade, of the assembly, sent word to Gen. Brooke today that the army pay rolls were at bis disposal, although the lists are very incomplete. Gen. Brooke replied, thanking An drade, but said the lists were not now needed, the way for the payment of the troops having been already ar ranged. It has been decided that committees, consisting of two Cubans and one American officer, will pay the troops in each province.

Being complimented on one occasion on his fine horsemanship, he replied that bis ability to ride a horse was altogether due to the fact that his brother was in the cavalry. Two days later, in the presence of the men who had complimented him the ad miral was thrown sprawling in the middle of the road. His friend made haste to withdraw anything he bad said complimenting the admiral’s horsemanship, and ask ed : “What is the matter with that cav a’ry brother of yours?” “He was transferred to the infantry yesterday,” said the admiral. “I ought to have had more sense than to get on a horse at all.” Pitts’ Carminative aids digestion, regu lates the bowels, cures Cholera Infantum, Cholera Morbus, Dysentery, Pains, Grip ing, Flatulent Colic, Unnatuai Drains from the Bowels, and all diseases incident to teething children.

The small amount of exposed hull means a low freeboard. This renders speed practically unattainable. The Monterey, ment, has, say, 30 draught of water 14 feet. In smooth water, at 101 knots, the wave comes over the bow. At full power, 5,200 hors<-, the depth of water above tbe stem is about 7 feet, and at. the for ward barbette the wafer is IS inches deep on deck. Speed, therefore, is out of the question.
