Afilltaiy rank, or father the love

United State-. We have no stand
icg artny, u the European sense, vet
we have more stalf. fficors than any
naWou in the world. It is
not to say grotesque, t -
s o ul standing of almost anv
i detiaed by uitiuary tit es. Colo-
«s the favorite distinction. In
theoid militia days before the war,
generals were more plentiful; now
title is confin ed to Congressmen,
or any prominent nian whose incules
tv does not debar him from accept
ing tbe proffered title. The officers
of the regular army must be not a
iittle scandalized that a rank they
professionally prize so highly should
be ro scattered broad cu.-t over the
land, as to cheapen and caricature all
military grades. And then look at
the piiysical specimens presented to
our gaze by some of these spurious
sons of Mars. Knock-kneed, dwarf
ed, round-shouldered, cadaverous,
blear-eyed, arm innocently of course,
hut unmistakably i.lllicted with every
degree ol human ugliness. “Vo, we
have no order of nobility in Xmerica,
hut a terrible I ankmirig after a some
thing that will dfstingu sli a moneyed
above his fellows, and flat
that small vanity that is ever
restless under a sen.-e ol a levelling
mediocrity. The noble army of Co
ionels is on tbe increase, and unless
common sense intervenes, there will
not be enotigh of tire male population
left, in the event ol an emergency,
out of which to construct enough
privates t.o constitute a regiment.
