Did you ever contemplate .that par ticular and peculiar phase of human nature , developed by tho anxious school boy when released from study and discipline?when "school is out," and he is on his way home?..Ordina ry humanity, when released from the toils of the day, is prone to sock real and relaxation. Tho boy scorns all j such effeminate ideas. He is cora> posed of but three parts?legs, arms i and yell, and yell is the biggest part of him. Iiis legs and arms have been kept in hksomc, compulsory quietude all day, and must now be exercised. His voice lias been seeth ing and swelling in him for hours, and must now l.ave vent. As soon as he is clear of the sehool-honse steps he stops and deliberately )clls a yell that is car splitting, but which has no move object, meaning or direction than tho hiidmght vociferation of a mule ; and then he goes at a full run, with Iiis arms flying about like tho scintillations of a winwell. The amount of racing, jumping, pulling howling that a school-boy can con- ( centrale into a transit of two bquares i is positively astonishing, and the preternatural coolnes and the quiel tmle with ?hieb he lakes his red face and panting breath into the kitchen and asks if supper ain't most ready, is a human conundrum that calls for uuquuliiicd admiration. Tho "List oF Tramps." A Washington correspondent writes: American tourists, as is well known, have a weakness for writing their names in places famous or otherwise. Tims thousands have written their names in the cupola at Mount Vcrtion, at Arlington, on the rocks at Niagara Falls, on Jefferson's rock at Harper's Ferry, and other places equally famous in this country. A great many have a weakness lor writing their names at the top of the dome of the capital, and it is due to this fact that this paragraph wns sug gested. All kinds of efforts have been made to prevent this continual disfiguring of the walls, hut without any apparent effect. Some weeks ago some fellow wrote above the names near the top of the dome, and so high that-no one can get to it, the words, "List of Tramps.*' Of course all who want to write '.heir names are fureed, if at'all, to write them under these words, thus class ing themselves as tramps. It is real ly wonderful how these simple words have stopped the scribblers from de facing the walls and railings by wri ting on them. It may be that if this remedy was applied elsewhere it would have the same effect, though it would be too tremendous a thing to believe that the habit ever can be broken up in this country or else where by any device. A Mr iatia Sciikmk.?A Washing ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial states that when tho army reorganization bill comes up for consideration there will be sub mit teil an amendment calling for the organization of a national militia to take the place of the State niiliatia in its present imperfect discipline. Tho proposition comes from the South, and is said to have been sug gested by the ex-Confederate General Iliadjey T. Johnson. The scheme is to provide for the organization and equipment of a milintia force of one thousand men from each Congics siotial District, who .dialI be constitu ted into brigades, divisions and corps according to Slate?, the regimental organization to be made by the regi ments, the brigade organization by the Governor and the division organi zation by the President from the regular army. Each man enlisted to serve live years and be subject to parade duty at the orders of the divi sion, brigade, regimental and com pany commanders ; the enlisted men to receive one dollar per day for lime spent in drill and annual encamp ment.
