oBsECT5 OF TIE oRGASIZATlOH.
The above organization took possession OF
the new armory, Nos. 193 and 194 Washington
street, last Wednesday night. After an hours
drill in the bayonet exercise, business meeting
was held, and civil officers elected as follows:
E. B. Knox, President; William l.. Lindsay,
Secretary; J. S. Sheahan, Treasurer. a conf
mlttce on constitution and bylaws was appoint
ed, to report at the next meeting, to take place
Tomorrow night ut the armory. 1t was decided
to meet for drill Monday Of each week ut S
o'clock p. m.
By joining this corps the young men OF our
city will have fine opportunity to acquire
'dashing bayonet exercise and s,sirmisl drill,
which forms I'M important part OF the Zollnye
drill, and which made the Zouayes under Ellis
worth so famous. Military service affords the
best recreation for young men, because it Is
useful to the country III time Of war, and is use
full to the community in ease Of municipal dis
order. 1t is useful to the individual, BECAUSE 1t
affords hiqa regular and systematic course Of
physical training, and discipline for tho mind.
For developing muscle, expanding the chest,
vigorous, and atthesAnle time for giving an erect
and graceful carriage, and for teaching habits
of.promptncss, order, aud punctuality, practical
military instruction is uuequalcd. The disci-
pllne to the mind is excellent, for nothing can
be more exact ami metllodical than the study Of
military tactics. Last, but not least, is the ac-
QUESTION Of habits of sclf-defensc and conf
dence which are sure to be developed in every
active aud earnest citizen-soldicr.
Employers ought not to object OF discourage
enlisttnents, for they should know i'll giving a
clerk legitimate recreation the desire for all
other is diminished. Membership i'll this corps
actually guards ayoung man from dissolute and
careless habits; The moment he pluces his name
upon the roll he becomes responsible to his
comrades for his good behavior; he well knows
that any disreputable conduct, any ungcntle-
