Il CHANCE FOR BOYS.
Dark Corner.

A letter from Commodore Hughes,
of the United States navy, stationed
at Port Royal, S. O., states that a
limited number of robust, intelli-
gent boys, between the ages Of
sixteen and seventeen years, will be
enlisted to serve in the navy until
they are twenty-one. Minors be-
tween sixteen and eighteen will not
be enlisted without the consent
of their parents or guardians.
These boys will be sent aboard the
New Hampshire, now at Port Royal,
to be trained for naval service.
Every boy must be Of sound mind,
robust and healthy, no defects, and
not subject to fits. No boy less
than sixteen nor over eighteen will
be received. Boys enlisted to serve
until twenty~one years Of age, will
will not be permitted to allot any
part Of their pay to parents or
guardians, nor will they be allowed
to draw any money from the pay
master. The boys will be enlisted
as second class boys, at the rate of
$1,000 per month and one ration.
While serving on the training ships,
they may, if deserving, be promoted
to the rating of first-class boys, and
on sea going vessels will be entitled
to higher ratings, at the discretion
of their commanding officers, as a
reward Of proficiency and good
conduct. This is an excellent op-
portunity for boys who want a job,
or who desire to "go down to the
sea in ships" and who come within
the above requirements.

GETTING IN ORGAN.
From The Baptist Courier.

It was stated in the Baptist
Courier, not long since, that the
Rock Creek Church, by giving en-
tertainments, had raised money and
purchased an organ. So far so
good.
We heard Of a church once which
resorted to public entertain ments
for the purpose of raising money
for an organ. AT the first of these
entertainments it is said that dane
ing was proposed, but the member
at whose house the entertainment
was given, objected to the dancing.
At this it is said that q friendly
sceptic, who was in attendance,
invited the party to his house to
dance. The invitation, it is said,
was accepted, and tho balance Of
tho night spent in dancing. Anoth-
er entertainment was appointed at
which it was said that dancing was
expected, but we did not hear the
result. The entertainments, how,
over, it is said, were successful, the
organ was purchased, and the
matter duly published in the papers,
nothing being said about the
dancing, however
The foregoing statement is in
tended to be u sort of preface to an
opinion or two which we desire to
express.
First We think it entirely prac-
tlcable for churches to give 'senter-
tainments' of kind really beneficial
in thoir influence and tendency-
such as musical or magic lantern
entertainments, for instance. But
such "entertainments" as pander to
the lower propensities of humanity,
pernicious in their influence and
tendency anywhere, are far more SO
when backed by church, and
especially for the purpose of raising
money for church purposes. Wo
give it as our opinion, based upon
facts which have come under our
own observation, that church that
resorts to such expedients for rails
ing money must be either very
poor, or that it's standard of morals
and of piety must be far from the
highest It is our deliberate
opinion, based upon personal OBJ
servation, that an organ, or any
other church commodity, purchased
by money obtained by dancing,
fiddling, classification, (Which is but
an evasive name for certain
country dance), "raflling" "grab
bag" mock postoffice, etc, will be
anything but blessing to such
church. We believe, moreover,
that such church is a moral calamity
to the community in which it is
located. OBSERVER.

IN VaDlV lhCiuutS %oOD,OUU OF OmpfO-

says: Cur nominal assets on the first day
Of July last were 1926, 245.O1. To
these must be added the taxes Of 1878 to
get u present assets. These will be
about 100000, making total assets, $a,-
S65,245.01. This is the situation proxi-
mately stated; Liabilities, $4,77O,OOO;
nominal assets, 1885, 45."
After making all possible deductions
and settlements, the mayor says the
amount yet to be funded will DO $3.50
S52.53, which added to that already
funded, will, as above stated, be a total Of
$2,01l, s2o.26.
Speaking Of the assets he says about
100000 will be in back taxes, which can
be used to absorb perhaps $ 100000 Of the
present Indebtedness, as any kind Of city
Indebtedness may be used to pay back
taxes levied before 1875, except school or
special taxes.
The mayors statement is given in reply
to questions from a number of leading
taxpayers, including John Overton, W.
II. Wood, M. L. Meacham and W. F.
Taylor. 1t is entitled to consideration at
the present time, as the question is now
agitating the public mind so seriously.

MATRIMONIAL CoETRETEMPs.
A COlOred Bride Held as Collateral
Until the Fee was Paid.

Two magistrates in a certain city have
Offices not very far apart. A source of
revenue in each Office is marriage fees,
mostly from colored or runaway couples.
Yesterday two colored pairs waited in the
Office Of No. l to be splieed. The four
ardently desired to be made over into two.
Magistrate No. l was put. He had gone
down the street "on business" Magis-
trate No. 2 discovered the situation,
walked over and married them and made
out a marriage certificate in each case.
He charged nothing for the marriage cere-
mcny, which always affords him much
pleasure, but required a fee of two dollars
for each certificate. Colored husband No.
l was prepared for this financial emer-
genoy, but No. 2 was not. He asked
magistrate No. 2 what he was to do. The
reply was: "Well, you are not married
according to the laws Of God and man and
the State of Tennessee, as by statutory
enactment provided, and will not be until
you put up two dollars and get this paper"
But" quoth the African bridegrot m,
whose hair began to straighten up like
