PREPARING AT ST. LOUIS.

st. Louis, July 26-Citizens enrolled a
militia assembled early this morning at th,
police station in Courts building, armee
with breech-loading muskets and cartridg,
boxes All the morning hours were devoted
to drilling and distributing ammunition. Nc
outward demonstration was made up to noon
Two large brass field pieces loaded with
shrapnell are in the Jail yard with teams
hitched to them and an artillery company
of sixty men in charge Bands of strikers
accompanied by roughs and hard characters
have been marching through the streets all
the morning. Between 10 and II o'clock q
crowd of several thousand gathered about
the working mems stand at Lucas market
and were called to order. The following
was read and endorsed
Resolved, That we as the authorized ex.
ecutlye committee of the worlingmen's party
of the United States do not hold ourselves
reponslble for any act of violence which
may be perpetrated during the present ex

ST. LOUIS TROUBLES.
st. Louis, July 26-The morning opened
with much excitement and apprehension on
the part of all classes of citizens but up to
this hour nothing has been done on the part
of the strikers or their allies to create posi-
tive alarm A number of other lnanutac-
turing establishments were closed last night
by the strikers, including a number Of
Touring mills. The shutting up of the lat
ter is not wholly approved by the strikers
proper, but the rabble SO far have had mat
ters pretty much their own way, The most
unruly of the mob are negroes.
A great many business houses have shut
up. AT the -Four Courts there is great ac-
tlvity in enrolling members of the citizens
guard and in organizing forces to resist the
mob and put down riotous proceedings.
The sheriff has already about 1900 men in
his posse, and those in authority claim that
the citizens guard number 5000, and is in
creasing rapidly. Gov, Phelps arrived this
morning, and Gen. Smithrow is in consul
lation with him. 1t is expected that an ar
rangement will be made to obtain sufficient
guns and ammunition to equip the force
now organizing 1t is stated that Gov.
Phelps has telegraphed to Gov. Cullom, of
Illinois, for permission to station q force at
the east end Of the bridge to guard it
against lncenGiaries
Another meeting was held at Lucas
Market at 10 0o'clock, at which some 5000
men were present. Nothing definite done.
1t was understood, however, that gangs or
ganized will finish the closing up of the
factories, mills and manufacturing establish,
ments of all kinds The Merchants Ex-
change closed subject to the order of its
president.
A proposition was made to the mob at
Lucas Market to stop the street railroad,
which was carried with hur,ah and it is
not unlikely it will be done. At this writing
nothing worthy of special note has been
received from east ST. Louis.

A Generation on the March.

4 generation on .hc march from the cradle

We have It carefully presented to us in Tie re-

us trace the physical fortune which any mil
lion Of Us may reasonably expect. The num-
Der, to begin with, is made up Of Gll,74j
boys and lss, ,255 girls, disproponion which,
by and by, will be redrcssed by the undue
mortality Of the boys. aud will be reversed be-
fore the close Of the strange. cyen.iul history.
More than quarter Of lbese children will die
before they are five years old-in ex ct num-
bers, l4i ,3s7 boys, anl 1915 girls Two
sexes are now already on a level. The next
five years will be much less fatal. In the sue
ceeding fve years-ffOm The ten TO fifteen
the mortality will be still further reduced. In
decd. for both sexes, this is the most healthy
period Of life; the death rate, however, Is
lower ior boys than girls. There will be some
advance 10 deaths the next five years, and still
more in the five which follow, but 63l.04j

foriy-fye 4 still larger "death-rol," will be
paid, and little more than half the original
band-in exsc. numbers, 502,9l5-will enter
on their foHy-sixih year. Each succeeding
decade up to seventy-Gge will now become
more fatal. and the numbers III shrink ter
ribly. at seyenty-fye only lGIJ2i will re-

will struggle on TO be ninety-Gye, and 223 to
a hundred years old. Finally in the losih
year Of this course, the last solitary life will
flicker out. Such, then, is the average lot Of

BUILDING on THE SAND.

'Tia well 10 WOO, 'tis well to wed,
For so the world hath done
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
Aud morning brought the sun.
But have a care, ye young and fair,
Be sure you pledge in truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days Of youth
For if ye give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand.
Yon'll find you've played the urwise part
And "built upon the sand"
'Tis we'll to save, tits we'll to have
A goodly store Of gold.
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust
In what the deep mine bringsj
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things,
And he who piles up wealth alonej
Will often have 10 stand
Beside the Golfer chest, and own
'Tis "buit upon the sand"
IT'S good to speak in friendly guise,
And soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind
And love link man to man.
But stop not at the gentle words
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds,
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those that talk, vet fail 10 do,
But "build upon the sand.
