WONDERFUL sELF-CoNTROL (!

The. ChurcA Journal says of the Episco-
pal denomination, that "with three trl1ing
ex Aeptiens, there has been total abstinence
fron. che passing of political resolutions of
any sort during the whole terrible ferment-
alton since the fall of Fort Sumter-an in
domitable degree of self-control, the like of
whfehzIt would be hard to find anywhere,
and impossible to find IN any other body of
Christians as large and influential as the
Protestant Episcopal Church in this coun-
try"
Self-control, indeed! The country has
been passing through the severest trial
it could suffer; it has been been struggling
k.ar its life, has contended against the most
formidable conspiracy the world has ever
seen, has loaded itself down with an enor-
nous debt, has shed the blood of hundreds
and thousands of its best and bravest sons,
has made sacrifices which two families out
of three will feel for generation; and yet
in all this conflict of truth. right, order,
law, honor, freedom, and civilization against
treason, rebellion, perjury, fraud, slavery,
and barbarism, a considerable body OF
Christians has been neutral, has shown no
sympathy with the Government, has ex-
pressed no opinion on the subject, but stood
as far off as the priest and Levite did from
the robbed and beaten Jew; and the world
is called to admire this as "self-control.'
1t looks to US more like disloyalty, or pol
troonery, or cold. selfish disregard of the
sacred duties which men in all capacities
owe to a rightful Government.
| Nor is it possible to escape under the
convenient dodge of political resolutions -
The present struggle of the country is
something more than a political contest.
Secession is either duty, or the highest
crime man can abet. If the Northern view
be correct, then the armed resistance to the
established Government was not merely a
mistake or civil error, but wiekedness
the gravity of which no man can we'll esti-
mate. Yet Church living under the pro-
lection of Government thus cruelty and
sinfully assailed, boasts-that is, so far as
the Church Journal represents it-that with
three trifing exceptions, it has made no
sign and expressed no sympathy on the
subject. 1t has given no support TO the
constituted authorities, and no rebuke to its
malignant and reasonable assailants. The
Good Book speaks of some who glory in
their shame. The nearest modern approach
to this class is seen in the article we have
quoted.-N. Y Christian hstelEigencer.

The Figures on Dress Parade.

Assuming an army of GOO, 900 men form
ed into line, single rank, they would show
a front of 90 miles, allowing two feet to
man, which is rather close packing for free
movements. We will countermarch one
half-the right wing-and place them as a
rear rank-the usual formation-and we
have front of III miles, which distance
they would require when marching in COL
umn of platoons. Should the generalissi-
mo wish to make rapid Inspection if he
had the appliance of parallel railroad track
and a fast locomotive, he may run down in
front of the line in a auarter of an hour,
and make hasty review. If mounted on
his charger, at smart trot, it would require
over half hour. This respectable army,
formed in hollow square-in double rank
would be nearly three miles from side to
side, showing on each front fraction under
three miles. The inclosure would contain
about 5, 760 acres, an area equal to some
immense Indian cornfelds in Illinois When
marching in column it would require
whole day, taking the thing easy, for the
extreme left wing to reach the point left by
the right in the early start. When we add
the commisssriat, artillery, ammunition, and
other wheel transports, we must give the
army two whole days before the left wing
debouch from the starting point of the right
wing. If this immense army were formed
in solid square, allowing about four square
feet for man, they would cover about $50
acres, and form block of bayonets frac-
ton under quarter of mile square. Es-
timatiug each man as carrying weight ofmus-
ket, equipments, rations, ETC., at fifty pounds,
this army will have trudged along with 49,
600 tuns weight. Allow two pounds of
provisions per diem for each man. they
consume 500 tuns per day, aud if they
consume one quart of water per day. which
is the best drink for an army. they consume
$50, 900 gallons-say 1900 hogsheads-
which is clever sized shipload each day

The SUN Of Austerlifz.

On the second day of December 1906
rose the "Sun of Ausserlilz" Its light
revealed to Napoleon the certainty of the
great victory of that day. His forces con-
sisting of $4,000 mon. occupied n semi
circle of heights. The allied Russian and
Austrian army, $4,000 strong, had held
twentysfour hours previous position
equally strong, on the heights of Pru,zen !;
but by skill maneuvre he had induced
them to believe that he feared battle: and
accordingly, now at the break of day, he
beheld there immense army, like q huge
boa having unwound it's call, trailing its
slow, porderouS length around his front, in
order to attack his right wing.
The whole french army saw, as with its
leaders, eye, the blunder Of the allies. The
whole length of their limos were exposed !:
while Napoleon from his semi>circle, could
launch out the spokes Of his power to at
tack them in any and all quarters. His
Generals were eager 10 begin.
"Wait twenty minutes" said the En-
peror, whom neither delight nor fear could
betray into precipitate action. "Wben the
enemy is making a false move they must
not be interrupted"
The twenty minutes elapsed, the move
ment was complete, the b,under irretrieva
BILE. Then Napoleon leaped upon HE
horse, shouted TO his t:eops:
"SoIdiers the enemy has imprudently
exposed themselves TO your blows; we
shall finish the war with clap of thund-
| er !"
! At the same time the order Of attack
was given, and the nightly living anaconda
| was cut to pieces. The Russians after SAT
/ fering fearful slaughter, were retrea ting
across the frozen lakes. Napoleon rode
I furiously along bis lines. "Engulph those
/ masses! break the ice" The artillerists
elevated their pieces. and by dropping their
balls from height upon the ice, broke il
up, aud overwhelmed the flying enemy by
thousands.

A Romantic story OF the war.

The Donelson correspondent of the Iri>
June relates the following bit of romantic
history:
A young man belonging to one of the
Tennessee regiments-he held the rank of
frs. lieutenant in his company-was very
dangerously wounded in Saturday morn
ing's strife, and was not expected to live
when l left Dover, where he lay in much
pain and in more remorse.
The young man told me he was native
of Harrisburg, Penn, and had resided
there until the Autumn Of 1859, when he
went to Columbia, Tenn, and there en-
gagged in the practice of the law with con-
siderable success. While in that State he
became acquainted with and enamored of a
young woman of culture and fortune, n
distant relative, | understood, of General
Pillow, and was soon engaged 10 marry
her.
The love stream Of tic young couple
flowed smoothly enough until the fall of
| SUmpter, and the secession of Tennessee,
when the afhanced husband, strong advo-
cate for the Union, returned home, designs
! ing to wed after the troubles were over.
! The betrOthei pair corresTOnded regu-
| larly, but some weeks after the lover had
| gone to Harrisburg, the girl, who had sud-
/ denly grown violent secessionist. informs
| ed him that she would not become his wife
unless he would enlist in the rebel service
and fight for the Independence Of the
| South
The young man was exceedingly 18th to
| take such course, aRd demonstrated with
/ his beloved to no purpose; at last, in the
| blindness Of his attachment, and in the
absorbing selfishness of passion he inform
| ed his partner Of his intention to win his
mistress on the tented field. In vain they
| endeavored to dissuade him from his reso-
luton. He went to Tennessee, raised a
company, received the congratulations Of
his traitOrOus friends and the copious car.
resses of his charming tempter.
Last December the Lieutenant proceed
ed to DoDelson, and, few days before the
! fight, heard his bctrothed was the wife o.
another.
His heart had never been in the cause
though it was in another's keeping and
stung by remorse, and crushed by the pers
hdity OF his mistress, he had no desire t
live.
Unwilling to desert on the eve Of battle
the cause he had embraced, least he nigh
be charged with cowardice, he resolved t
lose his existence that had become unbear
able to him in the thickest Of the fight
While seeking death without endeaverin;
to inflict it he received mortal wound.
Before this the misguided and BETRAYED
lover has ceased to think of her who haC
so cruelty deceived him.

EOtGtOes--Piant Early. Plan,
Deep and Dig Lare.

have observed of late several articles
recommending early digging OF potatoes
ataeted with disease
Now my observation aud experience
have led me to an entirely different prac-
tice- For several years after the appear
ance of the potato disease in this country,
early digging was recommended, which
plan praCticed repeatedly, sometimes
spreading my potatoes on the bottom OF
dry cellar, and sometimes bnryiug them in
SIS. aEHays sfiSh gree: 40, s9nefines to
tai loss, not to mention the disagreeable
labor Of overhauling them,in those seasons
when the disease was prevalent.
Assuming that the disease is atmos-
pherical. epidemic and contagious, chang
ed my practice-which for the last fifteen
years has been perfectly satisfactory-leay-
ing my potatoes in the ground as late in
the Fall as would be safe on account of
frost-all potatoes then sound keeping
good both in the cellar and in pits.
Now for the reason for the faith that
is in me-" For several years have OBJ
served that those tuoers that were deepest
in the ground, aud the hills the least coni>
cal or elevated above the surface, we're in
varibly the freest from disease. Hence |
inferred that they were safer in the ground
than out, being less exposed to heat, light,
and atmosphere, and contagion from con-
tact.
Your correspondent, J. L R., says that
he dug his potatoes the 18th Of September,
and only II bushels Of sound potatoes, and
thinks bad he dug them q month earlier
he might have had 40; and 50 he might,
aud very likely would have had them to
overhaul and portion to throw away, and
the balance being so much exposed to
light and air as to render them neither
healty nor palatable. hiany years ago ]
had an acre of potatoes which in the month
of August werO attacked with disease, and
to save them, / dug them and spread the

menced acknowledgements at every

ings and Ovcrhauliugs, had them all to
tbow away. j should havo said, however,
that few hills were left undug until late
ir the Fall, from which I,ubiained basket
of sound potatoes, worth more than all
/ those dug in August, not to mention the
( disagreeable labor attending the removal

Austerlitz would look upon their action. to

The prestige Of some such achievement
is highly necessary stimulous to the brav-
