1.-THE latest freak indulged in by the min
listers of the Irish Protestant church," says
the London UniverSe, sis that of holding Re-
treat the spot selected therefor being
Lisauiskes, which must be regarded as hal
lowed ground henceforward. Twenty-Five
clergymen have availed themselves of this
opportunity of increasing their godliness,
| whilst many others sent letters expressing re-
greet for their inability to attend through the
pressing claims upon their time. The present
Retreat which is, we believe, the frat of it's
kind held in Ireland, is the work of the Con,
servative or anti-revision party"

by the name of cheering, and
mechanical impulse, that had be-
come deeply ingrained in his
nature, made it impossible for a
time that he should obey the
order to charge without indulging
in the luxury that used to accom-
pany it. Those who imagined that
the Importance of such a luxury is
insignificant commit a very great
mistake. 1t has played a more
curious and influential part in his
tory than any one would at first
sight suppose. Readers of the
Gaulish campaigns of Julius Caesar
know that at a very critical moment
the legions were disconnected and
almost thrown into an utter panic
by the piercing and unaccustomed
yells of the Belgian hordes advanc-
ing to the attack, and this although
the Roman soldiers themselves were
perfectly accustomed to shout on
the charge, The very same COM
mander who had then SO striking
an example of the practice wit
messed another and a still more re-
markable instance at the battle of
Pharsalia. 1t is well known that
at the battle Pompey ordered his
soldiers to stand still and receive in
silence the attack of Caesars legions.
His idea was that the waste of
breath involved in the sharp run
and the loud shout might simply
be economical and reserved for
solid muscular action. But the
event belied his theory, and it was
always said that Caesar attributed
the speedy defeat of his adversary
to the mistake he made in depriy.
ing his soldiers Of this accustomed
moral incentive.

correspondent shared a room in a
hotel with him. The prince is not

GOOD Advice" Don,t -


Don't insult a poor man. His
muscles may be well developed.
Don't fret. The world will move
on as usual after yoA are gone.
Don't color meerschaums for a
living. 1t is simply dyelng by
inches.
Don't say; :" told you So" Two
to one you never said word about
it.
Don't throw dirt in your teach
er's eyes. 1t would injure the pu-
pill.
Don't worry about the ice crop.
Keep cool and you will have
enough.
Don't turn up your nose at light
things. Think Of bread and taxa
ton.
Don't write long obituaries. Save
some of your kind words for those
living.
Don't imagine that everything is
weakening. Butter is strong in
this market.
Don't mourn over financial griey-
ances. Bide your time and real
sorrow will come.
Don't put on airs in your new
clothes. Remember the tailor is
suffering.
Don't be too sentimental. A
dead heart, properly cooked, will
make a savory meal.
Don't ask your pastor to pray
without notes. How else can he
pay his provision bill?
Don't depend wholly on prepared
glue. 1t will not mend broken
promises.
Don't linger where your love
lies dreaming" Wake her up and
tell her to get the breakfast.
Don't stand and point the way
to heaven. Spiritual guide-boards
save but few sinners.
Don't worry about another mans
business. A little selfshness is
sometimes commendable.
Don't attempt to punish all your
enemies at once. You can't do a
large business with a small capital.
Don't imagine that you can cor
rect all the evils in the world. A
grain of sand is not prominent in Il
desert.

The Indinn,n Amhilinn.

Civilization has many points of
ambitious attainment-the rewards
of letters, triumphs in the forum
and legislative hall, the diplomatic
bureau, etc.-but the Indian has
only one prime honor to grasp: it
is triumph on the war-path, it is
rushing upon his enemy, tearing
the scalp reeking from his head,
and then uttering his terrific war
whoop. For this crowning act he
is permitted to mount the honored
feather of the war eagle-the king
of carniverous birds. BY this mark
he is publicly known and his hon
ors recognized by all the tribe, and
by the surrounding tribes whose
customs assimilate. When the scalp
of an enemy has been won, very
great pains are taken to exhibit it.
For this purpose it is stretched on
a hoop and mounted on pole. The
inner part is painted red, and the
hair adjusted to hang in its natural
manner. If be the scalp of a male
eagles feathers are attached to de.
note that fact. If a female, a comb
or scissors is hung on the frame.
In this condition it is placed in the
hands of an old woman, who bears
it about in the Scalp-dance, while
opprobrious epithets are uttered
against the tribe from whom it is
taken. Amidst these wild reioicings
the war-cry is vociferated, and the
general sentiment with old and
young is, "Thus shall it be done to
our enemies" The feather of an
eagle is the highest honor that a
warrior can wear. When it bears a
red spot it denotes that the warrior
has killed an enemy; a notch cut

soldiers Charging.

1t has Just been stated, on the
authority Of a London paper, the
Globe, that the old custom of
cheering at the time of charging
with the bayonet is ordered to be
reintroduced into the British army.
There can be little doubt that such
an order, if it has been given, will
be hailed with very great satisfac-
tiop, 1t is only a few years-not
certainly above fifteen-since this
practice, which had existed, proba-
bly, from time immemorial in our
army, was formally abolished, and
officers of no very long standing
can well remember the reluctance Of
the rank and file to abandon, and
how long after the order was given
it was still often impossible, when
the word was given to charge, to
prevent the well-known shout from
rising to the soldiers lips. In the
mind of many a veteran the mere
action of advancing at the double
was inseparably connected with
that of shouting the sort of indie
scribable war cry which was known

Picnic Excursions.

'o Inc New YORK World thus NOR
alizes upon picnic and excursion
seasons, while twitting a cotem-
porary:
From every village, town and
city, from all the places which look
so quiet and Elysian when seen at
evening, and which are SO dull and
quarrelsome when nearer known.
Sunday-schools and churches are
daily sending forth the merry chill
dren along with staid old folks to
whom economy is so dear that even
when on pleasure bent they lug
with them great baskets of sand
wiches, pie and raspberry srub,'
and with their sons and daughters,
who, hidden by the crowd from
their parents frugal eyes, partake at
enormous expense of ice cream and
lemonade. The youths who ven
ture upon this expense, and the
maidens who are the cause and
fully the ineligible reason thereof,
will soon bud into that-but let
the Tribune tell the rest of that
absorbing and interesting story.
There is little room to doubt that
these excursions up and down our
rivers and railroads, innocent
though they be in outward SEEM
ing, frequently are the real cause OF
an enormous amount of Irritation,
Down the river plunges the steamer,
snorting and putting, the brass
band footing, the children eating
peanuts and climbing on the guards,
the homely old folk munching pie
and doughnuts, the poet reading
Longfellow and pretending to be
absorbed in him when he is think.
ling only of his own long hair, and
the superintendent rushing about
and spanking unruly youngsters
with his rattan. Such is the scene
to the unreAecting eye, but ah in
the stern of the boat, behind the
ladies' cabin! who looks there when
the boat is returning and the moon,
placid and full, shines with silyery
light upon the frctted waves below
and makes golden and eyanescent
serpents in the waves? The super
intendent looks there, and per
chance sees his own daughter with
her arms-again the pen falters,
and the Tribune alone is felt to be
werthy of the theme. Blush, ye
pale stars, wild beating in the sky
Whose back is that now tingles be-
meath the wild rattan2 Who rushes
rouud 10 the othar side Of the boat,
shedding peanuts as she flies, and
reckless Of her lovers fate? II
might have dimmed the eyes of love
to see-and yet-and yet -.
So it happens that when tho
thoughtful mind comes to balance
the relative merits Of excursions
when with large comparison il
views all the spares and pitfalls in
the path of the unwary maiden
who treads the gang-plank with
unsuspecting foot and demurely
eats her ice-cpeam at twenty cents
the plate; when it considers tho
riAed tills and the yawning mouth
of the State prison down which ouI
frivolous young men are Fastening
from these scenes of iimcracks anC
kickshaws; when --- for the re
