THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW IN HYDE

PARK.

A larger number of troops has probably been
several tithes collected in Hyde-park than that which
assembled there on Saturday. Surprising though
the strength ot the Volunteers present was in
litany respects, it was not more than that of a
Prussian corps trannute. No difficult, or in a military
point of view very interesting. movements were
accomplished by the citizen soldiers in view of the
enormous crowd of spectators assembled. It is
-sixteen yeas since, in the presence of the Queen, a
, force of twenty thousand Volunteers was review.sl in
I Hyde-park. Time and cooling experience have
I muslerateul and ecrrected all wild expectations.
People hie learned to take a more rational and
modest view of the nature mid value of a Volunteer
force. It has slowly come to assume its true place in
our military forces ; and if the ardent gentlemen who
in 1859 and 1800 predicted immense consequences from
• the establishment of a citizen forum might be a little
disappointed at the sight of the results actually
achieved, those results far surpass all modest antici-
pations. How many military men could have seen
that this movement would place at the disposal of
England a force of marksmen probably unequalled
for skill? How many military authorities antici-
pated that regiments of professional gentlemen,
clerks, artisans, &c., would ever make on a
field-day so creditable an appearance alongside
the household troops as that which the London
and provincial Volunteers exhibited on Saturday?
IVe know that exception might be taken to the bear-
ing and marching of some of the battalions ; it is
foolish to say that the difference between the drill of
the Regulars and Volunteers is, or probably ever will
be imperceptible. But who could have expected when
the National Volunteer Association was established
17 years ago, under the auspices of Mr. Sydney
Ilerbert and the late Lord Derby, that it was to be
the beginning of a movement which would plats) at
the service of the country, num so skilful and efficient
an those who defiled peat the flagstaff on Saturday?
Ornamental or dummy members have fallen away.
The intrinsic quality of the force has steadily im-
proved, until, in all probability, we have now in the
Volunteers a reserve numbering about a hundred
thousand effective,' who with a little training might
be converted' into admirable soldiera. On the whole,
then, the review of Saturday, with its display of
excellent marching and soldierly like bearing, is a
great success. That which was variously greeted at
first as a revolution in the art of warfate, or as a new
amusement for adults, has proved itself to be an
addition of untold importance to the military re-
sources uuf the country.

HATING. T9O MUCH.

" Nobody ever repented of eating too little," was the
sage remark of an old gentleman on the verge of ninety,
next to whom the writer had the pleasure of sitting at
dinner the other night. The host was pressing him to
take more, and urging him in the usual phrase, " Why,
you have eaten scarcely nothing f" Now, it is to be
assumed that the old gentleman s words indicated one of
the by-ways to good health, along which be had travelled
through his long life, and to which he owed his present
remarkably heartycondition ; so it warn suggested to him
interrogatively that be had always been • small feeder.
"Yee," he answered, "ever since I was two or three and
twenty; up to that time I was a weakly young fellow
enough, and I used to make the great mistake of trying
to eat and drink as mocha. I could, in the hotprieoi
becoming strong. All my friends and the doctors backed
me in my error; but fortunately I found it oat in time
and 'knocked off ' as your modern slang has it—more
than half my usual amount of stimulants. I gave up the
idea of making myself strong, and merely strove to make
myna( well, and I was contented with eating just as
much as I could digest, and no more. Of course it took
a little time and experience to discover the precise
limits ; I could not adopt the golden rule of always
leaving off with an appetite, because I never began with
one, but by persistently erring on the right side I got hold
of sue at the great accrete of life—the secret of knowing
when one has enough, and after • year or two I became
so much better that I used to find myself ready to eat
a meal at any time, and by degrees actually acquired an
petite. Then, once found, I never destroyed it, but
always determinately roes with the feeling that I could
eat more. Naturally temptation grew stronger. but I was
firm. I did not behave ungratefully to my stomach and
Immediately presume upon its increased powers by over-
loading it. I did not live to eat, but only eat to live; and
behold me ! I have no need to be very particular as to
what I eat, even at my time of life: I have only to be
careful not to eat too much." Here, indeed, is the great
secret of • great deal that is amiss with many of us. We
are in the habit of eating too much, more than our diges-
tive powers can tackle, and that which is not assimilated
more or lees poisons. The system becomes overcharged,
and fritee any latent tendency to diatom within us every
facihty for developing itself. The trsedion is not so
much what to eat as what quantity to eat, and nothing
but • sharp look-o=by ourselves caa give us the
answer—Tirisley's M

ingry FOR HIS. OFFICE...

If the GeTai-ilear-of ae—miniiois-O;Cilege cannot
secure distinction for himself and his school in any other
way, at any rate he haa been able to attract public notice
bypunlehlngaboyon amount of his father's fault. Mr.
the parent of one of the pupils, wrote to explain I
that he had detained kis son for two days after term
ttlatand Wood thereupon " caned," not the father,
he unfortunate lad. The story is beat told in the
letter of tbeyoung victim offered up for the sins of his
parent: "My deer Papa - I got here safely lad night
about half past seven; but what do you think? Mr. Wood
asked why I did not 006611 back on Friday, and I told him
that you said I might stay, and then he said you had no
right to Ist me stay over the day ; and he said, 'I cone ell
boys who don't come back on the day,' and he caned me
as bard as he could acme the back of my lap, so that I
hardly know how to sit. I think ha is pWiig too fond of
caning me, and when he mud he awed all boy. who did
not come on the day, he has not dons anything of the
sort ; and when I was late a day or so two years ago, be
never said anything to me about it, and several of the
boys this time did not come till Saturday, and he did not
punish them; and I told you did not think it would
matter, and of course I did not, but if I thought it would
matter, I shonkl have said so, and have come back on the
day, and I think he caned me without a cause, fork, has
never been ao pardadar before or I should have known.
I hops you will write to hirn about being so fond of caning
mehlicatr it is not the first time."
account is natural, and beers truth upon the face
of It; in fact, Dr. Wood does not deny that he was aware
when he caned the boy that his father had wished him to
delay his return. We cannot understand how this gentle-
man can teach his scholars with good effects even the
most elementary principles of right and wrong when in
his own action in such a matter he is guilty of conduct
resentially unjust. The Governors of the School have, we
see, declined to interfere ; but their resolution shows that
they miss the main point of the cam They decide that
Dr. Wood "did not err on the aide of severity." Perhaps
not; but what has that get to do with the question of
injustice? The dispute turns not on the severity, of the
punishment, but on the injustice of it at all,
boy to receive any caning, however t, for a
arising from the act of his father, and not of his
own?

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

R NVINW OF THE CORN TRADE:

Now that the time has arrived for the weather to
exorcise such an important influence upon the trade,
It is not a ps4alng that dullness should have been
the characterlstic of the demand for wheat at prices
that favoured purchaser'. There is no reason to doubt
that purchasers, with the absence of speculation prime,
naturally have • tendency towards weakness.
Farmers' deliveries continue limited, but on the
other hand the liberality of foreign importation has
been mainteined, so that any effect which might have
resulted from diminished supplies of home grown
produce has been altogether nullified.
The iniportu of wheat thus far this mason, have
been perhaps most the extraordinary an record.
At the ume time there is no reason to doubt that
Gumbos from abroad will fall off to any pleat extent,
aid that there is an abundance of produce to come
forward is very oxidant, and America would be in a
position to keep us supplied. As regards the capabili-
ties of the stooks, reports are rather conflicting.
Spring Corn hie been dull but prices have been
asaintard.

Bandmaster Stevens, announced the departure of the

Herbert Williams, drew attention to the fact that by a re-
cent decision, —Robinson v. Flint—although breed had
been ordered, and paid for overnight, that did not excuse
the baker from weighing it, whittler requested or not, in
the presence of the purchaser at the time of delivery.
Mr. Weston intimated be wished the same rations
applied to the sale of coals.
The Chairman was unable to understand why it did not,
when such was the case in the Metropolis.
Mr. Symonds stated that upon one occasion he found
his load of coals abort 3 cwt., and Mr. Walston could speak
to similar experiences.
