SambO as a Soldier.
Chicago Times !

Chicago Times
Sambo as soldier does not quite come
up to the high standard of morals and
efficiency which Gen. Ord deems desira-
bic IN the recognized defenders of our
glorious flag. The general, who is in
command in Texas, says the negro troops
in the army there cannot be relied on in
case OF trouble; that they are of the
worst class of Southern blacks, and that
army officers dare not leave their w;vas
alone among them.

We wonder if there is anything
epidemic in the desire to eat thirty
quails. Two or three weeks ago we
found n story about some one in
Indiana accomplishing that most
nauseous Of gastronomic operations,
and transferred the recital TO our
columes. Now come two Frenchman
in Louisville, Ky. who have been trying
their hands, or stomachs rather. at the
same proceeding, and they also have
succeed ded. We are beginning to lose
faith after all in the assertion that the
task is difficult: at all events, it is
one which has been mastered, appar-
emily, by the lndomitahle will of the
Gallc gourmands.
But this is not ali. One of the
twain, after smscking his lips over
quail No. 80, sighed, Alexander-like,
for more quails to conquer. Thirty
quails had glanced harmlessly from
that iiinty stomach, and the hero of
the astonishing organ felt justified in
beginning on quail No. 81. lie continu
ed until five birds had been cngorgcd.
and then outraged nature rebelled /;
but with a burst of that gigactic will,
which, in Napoleon, surmounted the
rocky barriers Of the Alps, the intrep-
i'll eater hurled himself upon the
seventh, bird, and, in his own words,
"chewed him up, bones aud ALL"
Like the old guard at Waterloo, that
stomach, (which dies, but never sur.
renders" withstood the onslaught of
bird after bird, until finally, after the
sixtieth quail. its he. o'c owner quailed
off goblet of wine. and announced
that for the last ten meals he had en-
joyed his rcpast. After this, our
columns will be rigidly closed to any
further storses about the impossibility

They are easily terrified. these little
ones, and the mother who would
strengthen the nerves of her children
should have her own under absolute
control. We have more than once
seen woman into whose hands a
child has been given to love and rear,
who never even once imagined that
when she screamed ut the sight of a
venturesome mouse, or the graceful
spinning down of spider, or flash
of lightning, that she SO shocked the
nerves of her child and so thrilled
them that they were never at peace
again. The scream that she utters
may leave no visible wound in the
body of her litlo one. but the hurt is
none the less severe, and the pain will
return again and again to it whenever
it sees the small and very likely harm

the terror which she transferred to her
child. We have seen a mother gather
her children into bed at midday, and
silently lie trembling with dread OF n
lightning flash, until she has made the
young lives of her family Il burden to
them whenever there is promise Of a
summer storm. OF course there is
danger during an electric disturbance,
and mother may tell her children
that the center Of the room, with the
windows and doors closed, if there be
no chimney in the apartment, is a
safer place than doorway or an open
easement; but she need not irighten
them by manifest timidity. The time
of real danger she should make ono of
very serious use to her little ones by
showing them the value of cool self
possession, prompt action, or heroic
patience to teach them how To guard
themselves from danger.

Ii is not to sweep the house, make
the bed, darn the socks and cook the
meals, chiefly, that man wants a
wife! If this is all, when a young
man calls to see la1y. send him TO
the pantry to taste the bread and cake
she has made, send him to inspect the
needle work and bed-making. or put a
broom in her hand and send him to
witness its use. Such things are inn
portant and the wise young men
quickly look after them, but what
the true man wants with wife is her
companionship, sympathy and love.
The way of life has many dreary
places in it, and man needs com.
pnnion TO go with him. A man is
sometimes overtaken by misfortune
he meets with failure and defeat;
trials and temptations beset him, and
he needs one to stand by and sympa.
tie. lie has some hard battles to
fight. with poverty, enemies and with
sin and he needs woman that
when he puts his arm around her, he
feels he has something to fight for, she
will help him TO fight; that she will
put her lips to his ear and whisper
words of counsel, and her hand to his
heart and whisper worls Of inspira-
ton. All through life, through |
storms and through sunshine, conflict
and victory through favorable winds,
man needs woman's love. The heart
yearns for it. A sisters and a mothers
love will hardly supply the need.
Yet many seek for nothing further
than success in housework. Justly
enough half of these get nothing more;
the other half, surprised beyond
measure. have gotten more than they
sought. Their wives surprise them
by bringing cut a noble idea in
marriage, and disclosing treasury of
sympathy and love.
