Somebody has written that''lhe Nation
al Guard is peculiar institution and very
few men seem TO appreciate lis wants
fully unless they have been brought up
and educated in it. 1t cannot be made
into regular army, nor was such the in
tention of the trainers of the military
code. The social organization, while it
must be kept in subordinary to the mill
tary organization, must be fostered and
encouraged, for if all the social attrac-
tions Of the Guard we're wiped out the
military part would soon cease to receive
the recruits necessary to keep alive the
organization, and the Guard at large
would die for the want of new material"
There is volumes of truth in these re-
marks. To sustain good company of
National Guard needs something besides
careful drill. There must be social at
fractions, and these should be carefully
planned and as carefully carried out so as
not to bring injury to the organiza ton
They should be of an elevating character,
calculated to make the members look up
higher in the estimation of themselves
and the company.

But the inordinate condensation which

The elaborate researches of Drs. Buchan
and Mitchell, of Scotland, into the rela-
ton between various phases Of weather
and mortality, show that warm and
moist weather is accompanied with high
death rate from scarlet fevers," but "cold
and moist weather with high death rate
from rheumatism, diphtheria and mea-
sles" The mean temperature Of the last
three months have not been as high as
the average in the Middle States, but
there have been few very chilly spells
sufficient 10 make much "cold and moist
weather." which is favorable to the spread
of diphtheria. As we are now likely to
have, Judging by present indications, an
increase of both cold" and "moist' con
ditions, great care should be taken 10 pre-
vent the scattering of diphtheria germs
and to protect young children from them

veyances.
DR.. c. H. Moore of Juliustown writes
us that he has faithfully experimental
with all the various means and remedies
suggested by eminent ply sicians and
found them to be Of no practical benefit.
Sulphur, he says, is far from an infallible
remedy and only in rare instances does it
prove successful. His researches, how
ever have proved valuable to him, as he
has treated over 500 cases of the maIady
and in every instance has been successful.
Evidently the Doctor thoroughly under
stands the treatment of the disease or he
could not meet with such good success in
its treatment.

The Grand Army of the Republic sets
aside certain proportion of IFS receipts
from all sources, as fund to be extended
only in charity, and its members pledge
themselves to do all in their power 10 aid
poor and distressed soldiers or the widows
and orphans Of those soldiers who have
answered the last roll call. The de-
mands are not light, and cannot fail TO
grow heavier year by year, for it should
be remembered that the youngest men,
bers we're mustered out of service over
seventeen years ago, and that posts can
not as can other organizations-recruit
from the younger men who are rapidly
replacing them in the walks of civil
life. 1t consequently follows, that as the
number of those whom age and disease
(the latter more frequently as result of
the hardships of service, than is generally
supposedly, render helpless increases, the
numbers diminish, and they are compel
led TO call upon others TO aid in the good
work of at least keeping want from the
door Of every man who offered his services
TO our country in cur hour Of need.
The ensuing encampment of the De-
partment of New Jersey, which will be
held in Trenton in January, will be one

held in this State. Itl expected that
