Scenes from Camp-Mike sells our First.
BY FRITZ.


At ono time we were camped in little
place in Virginia, which, like all the towns
in that part, was entirely deserted by all the
inhabitants, who could by horse, foot, or
cruchpower, leave.
Now this was great disappointment to
u.s. for we were in hopes OF finding some
damsels here, as we had not seen woman's
face in long time.
Our first Lieutenant was disconsolate, as
he had tondly hoped to find some beautiful
secesh nymph, with whom he might carry on
Irritation. He was a great admirer of the
fair sex, and the sight of petticoat in those
forIorn and lonely regions, was great piece
of good fortune.
Well one day as he was lollng in front
of his tent, dreaming of the girl, or rather
girls he left behind him, he accdently cast
his eyes over n neghboring meadow, where,
as luck would have it, appeared an unmis.
taxable crinoline of full circumference
with the dress raised enough to show clean
petlicoat and white stockings. Selling
field glass he gazed long at the vision.
"By George, those are fine legs!" exclaim.
ed our amorous Lieutenant.
Mike" he continued, turning TO a son of
Erin, go and follow that girl, and see how
she looks, and where she goes"
Mike, glad to get an excuse to leave the
camp lines of course made no objection, and
the Lieutenant passing him through the
guard, he set out on his m ssion. He made
the best of his excuse, and was absent for
some three hours, while all the time our
Lieutenant was in torturing state OF anx.
ety. SO Immediately upon Mikes enter.

"Ah, that is good. | am fond of large,

"Sure, then, can give yees two, as nately

his slave should step into his next dool
neighbor's and claim protection.
God declared that the heather so purchas
ed by the Israeres might be held as an "in

"bondmen torever,"-Lev., 25, 46.-ls the
text to be so construed as to deprive the
children of their inheritance and release the
servant from bondage whenever he should
escape from the immediate custody of bis
master?
God says the Hebrew servant who chooses
to undergo certain ceremony after serving
six wears shall serve his master forever-Ex
81, 6; Deut Is, l7.-ls this text to be SC
construed as to relieve this voluntary slave
from his obligation whenever he might
choose to run away!
God declares that a mans servant sis hi:

construed as to rob the owner of his money
whenever the servant should choose to ab
scondl
In short, it should he construed so as tc
nullify the institution itself, show that Pau
and Peter, did not know what they were
about when they incucated obedience and
fidelity Of servants to their masters rs a
Christian duty and that Paul actually viola
ted the law Of God when he sent Onesimus
back to his master.
All these apparent Inconsistencies vanish
at once by constituting the passage quoted as
an International instead of ciVil regulation
1t was doubtless intended to regulate the
conduct of the Israelites towards their heath
en- neighbors, and not towards each other
Of this it contains intrinsic evidence.
Throughout the Books of Moses the term.
"hou" AID "thee'' and "thy" are in cases in
Vulnerable used to designate the whole He
brew community. In the passage quotec
it is provided that the fugitive "shal dwell
with thee, even among you, in one OF M5
gates" Here thee and you obviously mear
Substantially the same thing-"thee" mean
ing the Hebrew nation, and "you" the people
composing the nation. I'm one Of thy gates,
obviously means, not a private dwelling, but
one Of the cities of Israel, that phrase being
often used to signify walled town or city
but sometimes the whole territory OF the
nation. THE stranger that is within thy
gates" means the foreigners that reside any
these facts before US, let us apply them to the
case in hand, changing the reading of the
quotation without changing its meaning thus:
Thou meaning the Hebrew nation shalt
not deliver unto his master the servant
which hath escaped from his master into thy
territories lie shall dwell in your country,
even among you, in that P lace which he
shall choose in one of your cities where it
Iiketh bln best; you shall not oppress him."
In short, the MosaiC-aw treated the slaves
of foreigners escaping into the Hebrew ter
rtory Just as British law treats american
slaues escaping into Canada. 1t forbade their
restoration To their master.

LINT.-For the use of ladies' in the several
towns hereabouts, where lint societies will
probably be oIganlzed, we published, by
authority of the ladies association at San
Francisco, the following.
Directions for Milking Lint old linen is
is better than new, starch should be washed
out. Old handkerchefs, old shirt bosoms,
old table cloths and napkins, etc, are all
useful. There are two kinds of lint--ihe
scraped and The shredded. The proper pro
portion for the two should be one of scraped
to two Of shredded and precautions are nee
essary to prevent both from being useless
when prepared. The scraped lint needs to
be pack d in layers in the boxes, separated
by thin paper. Each layer should be one'
fourth of an inch thick. 1t must not be too
tightly packed or it is almost useless. The
shredded Int needs to have the strands laid
parallel, and in layers OF little more than one
eighth of IN inch thick, separated BY papers
also. The scrape lint is simply tuzz scrap
ed from linen, and it is obvious, therefore
that no attention is necessary to be paid to
the shape of the linen. 1t is simply laid on
smooth surface and scraped into fuzz The
shredded lint, however, requires he linen to
be cut into squares Of from two to two and
half inches, and then raveied, laying the
short strands thus obtained side by side in
layers 1t must not be tangled up, or it is
vau-ess. Old cotton cloth will be received
for compresses The bandages must be made
of strong cloth-oId or new List of banda
ges in proportion. One dozen l inch wide,
