Military Etiquette In Germany.

Military etiquette is a Study

to carry a bundle or package of
any description. Let the rain
fall in torrents, until he is wet
to the skin, and he dare not
hoist an umbrella. His sword
is nuisance to him, but wher.,
ever he goes it drags by his
side. A private cannot leave a.
restaurant or an eating-house if
an officer is present, until he has
saluted the latter and received
recognition. If the officers
back is turned the private walks
around, faces him, takes the p0,

Here is something for young
mothers who must tend baby

resolution which we publish be-
low, it may be inferred that the
Committee Is ready and willing
to cooperate with Gen. Chal-
mers, and from the short speech
which he made we infer that the
General is equally ready to CO.
operate with it in its warfare
upon the Democracy. The
General seems to have been
successful in capturing at last
a majority of the Committee and
is now in fair way to bee ONE
the master of the Republican
party. This victory gives him
increased power and strength
and will enable him to make a
fight against Democracy not
only in one district but over
the whole State.
We make the following ex-
tract from the official proceed
ings of the Committee: On
motion of Capt. J. w. Lee, a
Committee of three on resolu-
tions was appointed. Commit
tee: Capt. j. w. Lee, Hon. IL.
G. Powers, Hon. II. @. Niles.
On motion of Hon. Jas. Hill,
the Chair vas added to the
Com mittee. The Committee
then took recess for one hour.

Resolved, That tits the sense
of this Committee that the Re
publican party in each county in
this State keep up and maintain
it's organization, and that they
cordially invite the cooperation
of all the different political ele-
ments in their respective coun-
ties, who are in favor of the over
throw of the Bourbon Democ
racy and the restoration of the
purity of the ballot-box.
We reaffirm the principles of
the Republican party as enun.
ciated by the last National Re
publican Convention, and cor
daily endorse the Administra'
ton of President Arthur.
The following resolution was
also recommended by the Sub
Committee, and unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we mos
heartily approve the patriotic
course of President Arthur il
recognizing the Sou thern State
as equal members of the Union
in seeking to develop them b.
a wise system of internal in
