FIRST BATTERY.

The First Battery was organized by Major
Hoelzle and Captain John Heubner in 1867. On
Anil of that year it was mustered into state ser
vice, numbering sixty-four men. The officers
were Captain, John N. Heubner; First Lieutenant,
Augustus Hoelze Second Lieutenant, Jacob Vi1.
The first parade took place on July a, 1867 In
1869 the regiment to which it belonged was dis
banded but such was the standing of the Battery
that it was retained in the service under its old
title of X. Captain Heubner resigned in 1875 and
for several years the Battery remained without a
captain Lietenant Hoelzle was elected to I'LL the
vacancy, but refused the honor on the ground that
the Battery would soon go out of existence because
of its poor equipment. The Adiutant-General was
appealed to and through his efforts the Battery was
equipped by the State authorities. Lieutenant
Hoelzle then accepted the captaincy He remained
in command until October ~ 1882, when Captain

 Message Containing the wisdom

 Home is the center of the social system From 1t proceed the best and purest influences felt in the world, and towards it gravtate the tenderest hopes of humanity. For it all good men labor while their working days last and around it their last thoughts finger lovingly when those days done.
 Yet home does not usually approach in practice its own ideals The mother is overtaxed with household duties and the rearing and training of her children, while the father fights the outside battle to wR the wherewithall to meet expenses Sooner or later care and toll leave their marks. It is true enough, as Kingsley sings in the "rhree Fishers," that
 "Men must work, and women must weep" but too much working and weeping brush all the bloom from life's fruit.
 Mental anxiety and lack of rest and pleasure in duce physical diseases of many kinds whence the need of trustworthy tonic to give help and strength in times of need. Among the good women of the land who have found such sure anchor is Mrs A. c. George, wife of Rev. A. c. George D.

WAITING TO BE WHIPPED.

The humorist of Peck's Sun has been threatened with whipping by young man whose sweetheart broke her engage ment after reading one of Peck's articles advising girls to let young men to whom they are engaged severely alone if they take to drinking. To the young mans threat Peck replies: ssWhat would we be doing while such youth, with his skin full of benzine, was whipping us on sight This young man has never whipped any editors, evidently. He has never had to be carried out on window shutter to a hospital, and lay in 8 stupor while the doc tor set his bones, and has never laid in a delirium for months, and seen the air full of sorrel-topped editors walking over him with hunting boots on. He should com mence down low and work up gradually to editors. Let him attend few ward eau cuses, with their rows, and takes in few summer garden picnics, and balls, and prize fights, and if he lives, then he can think about whipping 8 newspaper man. But he wants to learn to pray, and it is best to bid an affectionate adien to friends, and pay up whiskey bills, for there is nothing that injures young mans reputa- ton SO much as to have his trunk attached after he has been buried by the authori- ties, for an old liquor bill. In addition to announcing that our office hours for being whipped at sight for articles that appear in the paper, are from 3 q. rp. to 6 p. m., we will state that the advice to girls who are engaged to drunkards is still in force, and if they will all take it to themselves, and ship the drunkards before 1t is everlasting ly too late, and thus make themselves and their mothers happy, we will take the chances on whipping from the drunkard in every case, and make them present when they marry a. sober young man. Don't hang on to any drunkard for fear he will whip us.''
