So, last year, when a provision was inserted in the Appropriation Bill for the support of the army enlarging the retired list 900 to 400, the President at once •tired 35 disabled offleert and has 65 racancie* left. There are plenty of »flic era who are really incapacitated if age and hare served much longer »an the limit required by law; bat for various reasons they do not wish to 1 be retired. Some are proud of their itations and will not hear to being laid on the shelf, though that Is where fiber justly belong; others would be lad to be so disposed of but want their superior officers to go out first So Ithat they may be promoted before fteaving the service, thus gaining tH* dignity of a higher ti^le and the ad- vantage of higher pay. There is a dame, however, in the statutes which provides that after an officer has laerved 83 yeaas. or is 62 years of age or past, the President can retire him at his discretion whether * the officer wishes It or not; and after closely scrutinizing a list of SO officers who have been examined and passed by the Retired Boar.1 already, the Presl- 4ttt| Intends retiring all those save * few of the most serviceable.

President Hayes contributed $100 toward the fund for relieving the yel­ low fever sufferers; Mr. Tilden Is said to have given 9250, and Genl. Grant, through his son in New York, gave *00. Tim Hayes family has spent but lit- tie time In Washington since last spring. They have been here many times but only for a few days of rest between excursions, visits to watering places, re-unions, lairs and the like.-- Their latest absenceoccurredlast week when they visited the home and es­ tate wf^President Madison at Mont- peller. Orange County, Vermont, where speeches were made, the usual hand-shaking reception held, dinner eaten and toasts drunk. Genl.
