From THE ARMY-The McriCan ChapIainS
We find the following intelligence in the Fred

1t affords US much pleasure to learn that
letter has been received from Rev. John NC

which he SAYS, that his health and thato Rev

Immediately after his arrival, ne walteo on

received by the Gen'l with every marx OF as
tinction and kindness; after which Mr.. McElroy
and MIR. Raw called upon the clergy, who not
ONLY proffered the use of their churches, but IN
sisted that during their soiourn among them,
they should make their houses their home-thls
was declined, but the offer of the churches was
accepted, and are daily filled with our own men
and Mexicans, who appear on the very best
terms. At the date of the letter there were

McEIroy and Ray to dine with him-tley
found him surrounded by his officers IN iuIl

CRops IN WASHINGTON COUNTY. The Boons-
boro' Odd Fellow, has these remarks on the
wheat crop in that county
The weigh, of good wheat is go and 60 lbs
to the busheI The present crop in many In
stances only weighs from SO to 81 lbs. which
makes a very considerable difference in crop
of 1000 or 1000 bushels, which is about the a.
mount generally raised by farmers of this
county.
We also add upon good authority, that the
aour will not make as good bread. Millers
propose mixing the new with the old in order
to better it.
The Oats crop is also harvested and falls
short. While standing on the ground it never
presented better appearance In a number
| ofinstances we learn that just half the amount
that they anticipated was obtained. One far
mer told US he expected 200 bushels and ~her
he had it thrashed he had just ll9 bushels
The supply, however, is quite sufficient u
meet the demand as an unusual amount
ground was put out in oats this season.

MISSIONARY MOVEMENTS.
The New York Tribune has the following letter

NEWARK, N. j., April so, 1896
The Missionary Anniversaries of this week in
this city have been peculiarly interesting On
Monday Evening was held that OF the .Ne,c .Je,Sey
Methodist Missionary Society. Rev. Mr. DoYT,
Presbyterian Missionary from China, communica-
ted some very striking facts and awakened deep
sympathy as TO the moral degradation and supersti-
ton OF that vast Empire.-ProRessor McClintock
of Dickinson College spoke with great power and ef-
feet and was followed by Rev. MIR. Scudder of
New York in his characteristic style of eloquence
During the period of taking contributions the ven
cradle DIR. Bond Of New York begged the privilege
Of making short speech, which, he assured the au-
dience. should more practical, than any they had
heard. Being requested to proceed, he related the
anecdote of several literary gentlemen being togeth-
er, with Lord Dorset and the poet Dryden when
it was agreed that each, with the exception of
Dryden,) should write composition. the compare
tive merits Of which Dryden was to decide. Lord
Dorset wrote a sentence and threw il ON the table
Tor the consideration Of the umpire, while the others
produced their abored articles.
Dryden arose and said, Gentlemen, YOU have
all done well, but the preference is due to Lord
Dorset. Hisreads, ''Ipromise to pay John Dryden
83OO."-Here now, said DIR. b. is ma speecR-it
is borrowed to be sure, but it reads 81 promise to
this MISSIONARY cause $780, The Dr. held up
the $500 notes. and the contribution of course went
on with increasing interest, and about $4,000 were
secured-3600 towards new Methodist Mission
Tor China. The next evening the Ladies' Foreign
Missionary Anniversary was also celebrated with
lively interest.

HABITS OF INDUSTRY

There is one thing Of vital importance ir the
education Of the young, which is very far rrm be-
ing attended TO as it ought II is training them to
hab'fs Of usefulness such industry exercises the
body, while it interests the mind Active exertion
Is essential To- health and comfort. Every phys-
clan will tell you SO. Incidence begets disease,
while it destroys enjoyment. The oil Of gladness,
says one ''glistens on the face Of labor only.''-
But not only 50; ideness is positive vice. and of
heinous kind God created everything to be use
ful, and every faculty of body and mind is talent
conferred under the injunction, OCCUPY till
come" He who arrives at manhood, without hav-
ing acquired habit of industry, lacks a most es-
sential part Of education.

noble conduct of Others TO uuderrate and deprecate
the good, to speak charity of manly and disnerest-
ed acts on the part of friends, neighbors and fel-
ow-citizens. Seif-self-is the prompting motive
of too many. The mean and narrow thought forces
itself upon the mind that by the exaaon Of Others,
we depreciate ourselves. The influences of vanity
and pride brought to bear, and thus. if we can
not attain to eminencc for virtue and for worth
we are too disposed to bring others down to our
own unenved level. But, thank heaven! there
arc exceptions to this rule. There are redeeming
traits in human nature. There arc generous. no
bic, confding spirits among mankind. There are
these who respond to- aud arc grateful for fvors re-
ceived-who repay them tcnfold, and never forget
the circumstances under which they were conferred.
An act Of common courtesy is by such treasured up
as one of the bright things of life. They are not
only happy in doing good unto Others but they re-
joice when opportunities occur, when the higher.
the purer the disnterestcd qualities of our ma
turemay he manfestedby others towards themselves
Their delight is in giving more than they receive
in responding more generously than even the gener
ous-and thus they are doubly happy Would that
there were more of these truly frank, free-hearted
and noble minded spirits! Would that there were
fewer of those who writhe under sense of obpa-
ton, without having the manliness to admit their
position. the magnanimity TO appreciate favor, or
the honesty and Justice to place themselves in an in
dependent attitude.
