BISHOP DAVIS on THE WAR.-The following elo-
quent and patriotic language is extracted from the
annual address Of Bishop Davis, of South Carolina:
Having now, Beloved brethren, brought before
you my official acts for the past year, must now
call your attention to anxious and more thrill
ling thoughts. We are in the midst of war and its
consequences. We are looking out every day for
exciting events. Our hearthStoneS are upturned.
Our brothers and our children are in the field Our
youths, with whom we have heretofore only sported
have sprung up into armed men, This is not con-
fined to few. 1t is spread throughout the land
There is not heart which it does not reach We
filed with deep emotions and trying expecta-
tions. But this is time for loedkneSs or for fears
\ country never saved. We are called upon
for manly resolution, and for Christian hope and
trust Our cause is right, and God is true. Let us
show the world that we can trust both. Let us
show them, too, that we are Southern men, and
claim independent opinions and sustaining indi-
viduality. We not dependent upon circum-
stances or combinations or numbers, for our inward
strength but stand erect in personal character
in the sense of integrity and the fear of God. Be-
fore Him, indeed, let humble ourselves, confess
ing our sins, impore His pardon, and suppcate HIS
grace and spiritual benediction. We thank God
that, by the appointment Of the Chief Magistrate of
our Confederacy, our whole country and people
have come before him in supplication and prayer
Let us continue thus to always seek His face and
depend upon His favor and grace. In all our trials
and the commissions of the world let us lift up our
hearts to Him, and hear Him say, "Be still, and
know that am God"

ARMY BEvERAGEs.-It has been discovered by
experience that soldiers field and camp duty
require some cheering beverage, and since it has
been ascerained that alcoholic beverages are iniur-
ious, the question arises, What can be SUBSTITUTE
ed for them?' We have very useful and practical
information on this head from Col Dawes an expe-
rienced Indian officer He recommends that coffee
and tea should take the place of liquors. and says
"care should be taken to have good coffee and tea
provided regularly in each troop and company, and
every man should have offered to him. the first
thing in the morning, before doing duty, and also
some in the evening, When properly managed, this
practice is alike beneficial to health and morals"-
very distinguished surgeon in the Indian army
States that from long experience in tropical climates
with soldiers in barracks and in the field he observ
ed that "a cup of warm coffee taken in the morn
iEg tended to prevent Sickness"
During the Crimean war, it was found that when
the soldiers obtained warm coffee, they sustained
fatigue, and were comparatively healthy but when
they were in the trencher, and could not get warm
tea or coffee, they were very subject to dysentary.

SPECIAL PRovIDEScEs.-Cromwell, in all his mis-
sives to Parliament recounting his victories took
especial pains ascribe them to the special inter-
position Of Providence. Many of the incidents at
the battle of Bethel are well calculated to increase
the faith Of those, who, like Old Noll, believe in
special Providences. The mere fact that five thou
sand men, with cannon and rifles and muskets of the
most improved STYLE for four hours were firing on
the Rebels without killing but one man, of itself
approxmates the miraculous. The fact is not ac-
counted for by alleging that the Yankees were bad
shots; that they aimed too high or aimed too low
They did boh very probably but certain it is, they
shot in the midst OF our ranks-ploughed up the
land in front and rear and killed mules and horses,
under the saddle and among the men, A Howitzer
informs us, that while loading one gun-which took
about minute-five rifle or musket balls struck
the cannon, and two Of them struck the end of the
cannon, one on either side of the hand of the man
who was loading, yet nobody was hurt Such an
incident is so much out of the range of ordinary
events to justify the belief of that omnipotent
interposition which illustrates all the designs Of
wicked men,-Rick Wkig 4iss

"BAPTIzE THE WHOLE ARMY. We have already
referred to the religious faith of the General who
has added so much lustre to the English arms, dur
ing the war in India The following anecdote was
related by the Rev. Mr.. Graham, of Bonn, at meet
ing of the Hibernia Bible Society in Belfast:
''He had to tell them that General Havelock, who
is now so distinguished in India, although Baptist
was a member of his Mr. Graham's) missionary
church at Bonn, and his wife and daughter were
members of it for seven years. lie could also
rate an anecdote regarding that great and good man,
which he had heard from the lips of Lady Haveock.
When General Havclock, colonel of his regiment,
was travelling through India, he always took with
him Bethel tent, in which he preached the gospel
and when Sunday came in India he usually hoisted
the Bethel flag and invited all to and hear
the gospel; in fact, he even baptized some. lie was
reported for this at headquarters for acting in
military and disorderly manner and the Comman-
der-in- Chief, General Lord Cough entertained the
charge but with the true spirit Of generous mill
tary man, he caused the state Of Col. Havelock's
regiment to be examined He caused the reports
of the moral state of the various regiments to be
read for some time back and he found that Colonel
Havelocks stood at the head of the list there was
less drunkenness. less fogging, less Imprisonment
in it than in any other When that was done the
Commander-in-C Chief said" Go and tell Colonel
Havelock with my compliments, to baptize the
whole army"

A Dirsicul, Question Answered.

Can any one tell why, when Eve was made
out of one Of Adams ribs, hired girl was not
made at the same time, to wait upon her ?
We can, easy! Because Adam never came
whining. to Eve with hole in his stocking to
be darned, button to be scwcd on, or glove
to be mended right away, quick now! Be-
cause he never read the newspaper until the
sup>got down behind the palm-tree, and then
streached himself yawning out, "Aiht supper
most ready, my dear,?' Not hc He made
the. fire, and hung over the tea-kettle himself,
we'll ventura, and pulled the radishcs and did
everything he oughtto. He. milked the COWS,
and fed the chickens, and looked after the
pigs himself. He never brought half dozen
friends to dinner when Eve had not anything
in the larder, and 'spragus season was over!
He never stayed out until eleven o'clock ut q
ward meeting, hurrahing for the out-and-out
candidate, and then scolding because poor,
dear Eve was sitting up. and crying inside the
gates: TO be sure, he acted rather cowardly,
about apple gathering time but then that
doesn't depreciatc his general helpfulness a.
bout the garden. He never played billiards,
nor drove fast horses, norchoked EvcFwith ci-
gar smoke. He never dined at his club, while
solitary Eve was rocking little Gains cradle at
home. In short, he didn't think she was cre-
ated specially for the purpose of7waiting on
him, and wasn't under the impression that il
disgraced man to tighten his wife's cares a
little. That's the reason that Eve did moi
need a hired girl land we wish it was the rea-
son that none Of her fair defendants did.

An anectlote is related of one Of the citizen
soldiers in the expedition Of the Macpherson
Blues against the insurgents in 1891, which is
worthy of being recorded, as it may be of ser
vice to some of the wealthy soldiers in our
own ranks. The person referred to was u
German by birth, of the name Of Koch, and
was well known, in his day, as large out
door underwater. He died some twe"ty years
since in Paris, whittier he had gon, for thc
benefit Of the climate, leaving fort me esti-
mated at one million dollars. Mr.. X ch, then
a young man, was a private in the Macpher-

a few minutes stood in the presence of the
general. "Well. Mr.. Koch, what is your

Greatness.

All greatness consists in this-:n being
alive to what is going on around one; in liv-
ing actually; in giving voice to the thought
of humanity; in saying to one's fellows what
they want to hear, or what they need to hear,
at the moment; in being the concret;on, the
result Of the influences of the present world.
In no other way can one affect the wo.ld than
in responding thus to its needs, in cm5odyina
thus its ideas. You will see, in looking tc
history, that all great men have been piece
of their time; take them out and ses them
elsewhere, and they will not fit so well they
were made for their day and generation. The
literature which has left any mark, VIII ch has
been worthy Of the name, has always mirror
ed what was doing around it; not nee 'ssarily
daguerreotyping the mere outside, but at least
refccting the inside-the thoughts, If not the
actions Of men--their feelings and sen iments,
even if treated Of apparently far-off ,emes

.GThere lives in Vermont a great fellow,
of ponderous muscle and endurance. Among
other accomplishments he prides himself on
being able to carry more liquor than any man
in the country. This is common weakness.
but this individual has uncommon strength
to support it. He was in town a few DAYS
ago, and found himself at one of the best ho-
tells with gay party Of bucks, with whom he
was quite at home. Vermont, in the course
Of events, was aske'l to take drink, and he
replied vi h confident strength: Il shrink

wore ON, and after the several individual ca.
pacities of the parties had been tried almost
ito their bent with the ron-shrinkEr, he ex<
pressed his intention Of turning in" He was
pretty full as he rolled up stairs and into his
room. A great racket was heard from his
quarters in few minutes, and sound like a
war-whoop, long drawn out, came to the par
ty below. They were pleased with this, and.
like good Slmaritans, they went to the room,
opened the door, and asked Vermont, in q
sympathlzing way, if he would have drop
Of brandy and water. A voice, terrible ever
in its prostration, came from a resting place
near the floor, and shaped itself in these few
words: "Hic-no more! By-hic-Pvc

Of life which the statistics Of the historians
disclose. In the battles of the First Napo-

1906 to the closing fight at Waterloo in the
same month Of 1916, over eight hundred
thousand vigorous men were expended =
and during the eleven weeks campaign Of Ma
