Although solicited and urged TO visit, pro-
fass;nnally other cities as also various cele-
hrated sprfngs TO meet and treat invallds du-

TO do so without causing great disappointment
TO many who are coming from great distances,

and remove from the system the cause Where
the disease is of months, sometimes OF years,

A summary would give 6l2,2l0 sol
diers under arms, But there are also
ten regiments of gendarmerie and one
of military police, which add IL ,43S
men. There are called out in addi-
ton, or will be in few days, light
cavalry, the armed militia Of the from

of the Tyrol, DC. SO the Anstrians,
who are not given to Boosting, make
no undue exaggeration when they tell
us they have at present under arms the
tremendous force of 500, 900 men,
These are chiefly divided into two
great but unequal armies, one of which
keeps watch and ward behind the
Italian Quadrilateral, and the other is
echeloned along the Northern from
tier towards Saxony and Silesia.
A considerable Austrian force is
massed near Rumburg, and othef
large corps are stated TO be in the
neighborhood of Troppau. The Aus
TRANS have destroyed the railway
bridges at Oswiecim, on the Galician
and Silesian frontier. The railway
communication between Oswiecim and
Myslowitz is interrupted. ..
THE BAvARIAN CONTINGENT
Bavaria, considering her population
possesses a large army when on a war
footing. She has a field marshal in her
army and numerous Generals, almost
all of them princes. The Bavarian
service is by CONSUMPTION, the active
service being for six years, after which
the men are RENTED to the reserve
until they attain the age of forty
There are three regiments of active
artillery, two of them counting 1920
men each, and one containing 2,79O
men; making a total of s ,43O. A regi-
ment of horse artillery of four bate
ries has 1,1S3; and the reserve artil-
lery force amounts to.. the respectable
number of 1902 gunners. The men
of the engineer corps, with their re
serve, give us fSuAe of 1892 highly
trained man. The cavalry of the ac-
tive list consists of twelve regiments
of 773 men each, total of forty eight
squadrons, or 1926 sabres. OF the
reserve may be called out and placed
in the saddle 1879 men. Of infantry
there are sixteen regiments, each of
three battalions Ia regiment contain
ing 1890 men, making altogether
$3.50 men. In addition, the Bavarians
have eight battalions of light infantry
of 925 men each-7 400. They have
a very useful force entitled sanitary
companies of nearly 1000 men. The
reserve, comprising its sanitary com.
panies, can be placed under arms to the
number of 79,473 bayopets. The
whole force-artillery, cavalry, and in
fantry-of Bavaria is, on paper at
least, 205,668 fighting men, with 13G
guns.

We learn from the Kosciusko Chron-
icle that horrible tragedy occurred
last week in Choctaw county, seven
miles east of Greensboro. Wiley
Eudy of that county murdered has
motheri There had been a quarrel be-
tween old man Eudy and his wife
about a bible which the old miscreant
had ordered his son, boy of sixteen,
to burn. Mrs. Eudy told her son she
would whip him if he destroyed the
bible, but he did SO, and she stepped
out to get switch, and while gone
her husband told the boy to look be
hind the door and get an axe-handle,
and to knock his mother in the head
when she attempted to whip him. The
son, shameful to say, obeyed his father,
struck Mrs Eudy on the head with the
axe-handle, frcturing her skull, from
the effects of which she died
The wretches deserve the severest
penalty that can be inflicted for this
brutal and most unnatural crime.

pass through trying scenes, and happy
is it for them, if the holy teachings OF
childhood and youth moulded their
hearts and sustained them in the rough
conflict of temptation and trial. Have
any fallen prey to the tempter
Some, / know, have maintained their
integrity, and God has graciously
spared them for usefulness and good.
May His choicest benediction rest on
all And may the scores of little ones
who. now fill their places and gather
around their teachers on the Sabbath,
be trained up for glory, honor and
immortallityr and may not one OF all

No bed of death enduring love attends,
To watch the coming of pulseless sleep

Startles the sacred hosts with fear and dreadi
The song of peace, Creations morning heard

But you desired, in the event l could
not come up, to write letter that
could be read to the children. This l
cannot do, because of the pressure of
duties demanding my time, even now
while am hurrrying these few private
lines to you. Gladly would / talk to
them on paper, but more gladly would
speak to them face to face, and lock

they will enjoy happy day in their
celebration, and inspire each other
with fresh zeal and deeper interest in
the good work of the Sunday School,

to the salvation of so many thousands.
This much you may say to them in
public:
That while | could not be with them
in person, will be with them in spirit,
and send thenkny prayers, and con-
gratulations, wishing them happy
day, prosperous schools, faithful teach
ers, and useful futures. Tell them not
to drink too nuch lemonade, nor eat
too much cake, but sing as loud as
they can, listen to all the addresses
and be sure and keep bright faces on
all day. You may also give my kindest
remembrances to all the teachers and

speed in their labors of love. AS OPP
