Tbe great ball, with its fire feet of

old part of tbe castle ; and, large as
it was, it could look rery cozj when
seen, as on this winter ereniug, with
a bright ore roaring up tbe great
chimney, and soft lamps throwing a
cobdaed light into tbe most desolate
corners.
Sir Darid Dewar, tbe bachelor
owner of this fine old place, liked light
and plenty of room to more in ; and
as it wa nobody's place to interfere
with bis little whims, be generally

There was a pause. Uncle David,

"Oh. Dot i sw," said Ds rie, lifting
a flushed, Jear-etaioed . face, and

I'm quite vafj. Uncle Darid."
But Unc Darid silenced him
with a qoik, warning touch, and
they both at listening to tbe sound
of rapid, ira steps along tbe stone
passage to 4 merry whistle which
came aeare and nearer, until it
paused abruptly on the threshold, in
tbe middle of a barto an impetuoos
band upon the lock. Uncle Darid
turned bis eye quickly to tbe fire ;
little Darid hid his face ia his white,
trembling bands ; bat after that mo
mentary pause, although they neith
er of them looked op, they both knew
instantly that Hew was in tbe room.
"Halloa ! J he said, shading bis
eyes, and sending his clear, ringing
laugh Into thf hall before him ;
"I're had each a jolly time ont at

He looked so bright and hand
some standing in tbe doorway, witb
the snow glittering on bis uncorcred
curls and rough tweed eoat, tbat
Uncle Darid sat for a moment look
ing at him before he spoke. Then he
said: "Hush Darie! Hew come
bere ana let me loo at yoa."
"But my boots, uncle," objected
Hew "muddy and wet are no words
fortbem. Why, a detect! re could
track me anywhere!"
"Nerer mind your boots," said
Sir Darid ; "I hare a question to aak
you." liew came in at once tben,
leering a wet impresion on the
jsttne, and stood straight on tbe rug
before his ancle, in tbe rery place
where little Dane bad shrunk back
fire minutes before.
Tbey were as different frra ap -
pearance as light from darkness, night
from day, these two brothers, these
two nepLewa of Sir Darid little
Darie, wan and delicate and beauti-1 an insunt to a certain sunny win
ful Hew, as strong and proud as an idow from which a pair of great eyes
eagle, with honest, eager eyes and a
boyish laugh tbat it did one good to
hear; but tber were rery fond of
each other for all that lored one
another with tbat strange unaltera-
ble lore which lies between broth
ers oftener than we think, and tbat
nerer died oat between these two
until tbe rery end.
' bat is ill the boy asked, push-j sorrow bad blotted ont ail reinem

snd what is the question?"
"I was asking Darie," said tbe old
man. leaning forward so that he eould
larhis wrinkled band on the soft,
silky curl at Lis feet, "about the
boat. After I bad forbidden it so
many times, some one bad it out last

know. Hew, most be puoiahed."
Oh, yes, of coarse," said Hew.

PKEsiBEST'a caaAtiC
Washivoto, October 1C. Fellow
Citizens of the Seoate and House cf
Representatires : The adjournment
of tbe last Coogres", without makiug
appropriation for the support of tbe
army for the present fiscal year, ha
rendered necessary tbe suapeo.-ion of
payments to the officers and men of
the sums due them for services ren
dered after tbe thirteenth day of June
last. Tbe army exists by virtue of
statutes which prescribe its member,
regulate its organization and employ
ment, and which fix tbe pay of its
officers and men, and declare tbeir
right to receire payment at stated
periods. Tbe statutes, however, do
not authorize the payment of the
troops in tbe absence of specific ap
propriation therefore.
The Constitution has wi-e!y pro
vided tbat no money shall be drawn
from tbe treasury, except ia conse
quence of appropriations made by law,
and it bas also been declared by stat
ute tbat no department of the Govern
ment shall expend ia one fiscal fear
any sum ia excess of the appropria
tion made by Congress for tbat fiscal
year. We have, therefore, an army
in service, authorized by law and en
titled to be paid, bat no foods availa
ble for tbat purpose.
It may also be said as aa additioa
al incentive to prompt action by Con
gress, tbat sioce tbe commencement
of the fiscal year, tbe army, tfnujrb
without pay, has been constantly ami
actively employed in arduous and
dangerous service, in the performance
of which both officers and mea bare
discharged the;r duties witb fidelity
and courage, and without complaint
fcPEEDT ACTIO XKCEXABV,
These circumstances, in my judg
ment, constitute an extraordinary oc
casion requiring Congress to be con
vened in advance of the time pre
scribed ty law for your meeting in
regular session. Tbe importance of
speedy action upon tbe subject on tbe
part of Congress is so manifest tbat I
venture to suggest the propriety of
making the necessary appropriation
for tbe support cf the army for tbe
current year at its present maximum
numerical strength of twenty-fire
thousand men, leaviog fjr future con
sideration all questions re'stiog to an
increase or decrease of tbe number of
enlisted men. Ia the event of tbe
reduction of tbe army by subsequent
legislation, daring tbe fiscal year, the
excess of tbe appropriation could net
be expended, and in the event of its
enlargement tbe additional snm re
quired for tbe payment of tbe extra
force could be provided ia due time.
It would be nojust to the troops now
ia service, and whose pay is already
largely in arrears, if payment to them
should be further postponed until af
ter Congress shall bare considered all
the questions likely to ari?e ia tie
effort to fix the proper limit to the
strength cf the army. Estimates of
appropriation for tbe support of the
military establishment for the fiscal
year ending Jace 30, 1?7?, were
transmitted to Congress by the former
Secretary of the Treasury, at tie
opening cf ita session in December
last.
THE ESTIMATES St BM1TTEI.

Tbe Government of Sweden and'
Norway has addresed an official in- ;
vitation to this Goveroment to take
part in the International Prison Con-, t
gress, to be held at Stockholm next?
year. Tbe problem which CDngres i
proposes to study, how to diminish h,
crime, is one ia which all civilized 1
nations bare an interest ia common, ;
and tbe Congress cf Stockholm seems -likely
to prove the most importsnt ' ..
convention ever held for tbe study cf ,i
the grave question. Under author!-'
ty of a joint reso!otion of Coogreas, j '
approved February 10, 175, a Com-;
inisMoa was appointed br my prede-
eessor to represent tbe United States' !
upon that occasion, and tbe prison e.
Congress baring been, at the earn
et desire of the Swedish Govern-
ment postponed to I T this Com-
mission was renewed by me. An t
appropriation of eight thousand dol- !
lars was made in the sundry civil
serr ice act of 175 to meet the ex-.
pente cf the Commission. I recom-
mend the reappropriation of that sum j
for tbe same purpose, the former ap- ;
propriatioa bariog been covered

ger available tor tbe purpose wi'

subject is brought to your atte4.:()1; '
at tbis time in view of circumstaacV
which render it highly desirable tbat
the Commission should proceed to

ties immediately.
As the several acts cf Congrefs ;

the different departments of the Gov- .
ernment, require tbeir submission at
