seem to understand better the instrue-

male recruit. 1t Is the best exercise pos
sible for ladies, 1t gives them an erect
posture, develops tho strength, and gives
free motion to the body and limbs. In
the foot movements, such as marching
aud wheeling, there is a constant yet reg
ular movement, and the cadence is gov
erned by the order of the instructor.
When the manual of arms, or rather
the manual Of tho broom, is called for
the arms and body are kept
in perpetual motion. There Is also
to be added that tho eye and ear arc
trained to be quick and sharp and the
mind frightened. / will venture
TO say, from my experience in drill

low Messengers Capture Dimes from
Callers in the Departments.

There's one Of the ladies down in the
basement whats got a crazy pin cushion
that she wants to rattle off," The colored
messenger in one of tho departments who
uttered these words then stopped for
breath. won't you take a chance, it's
only 10 cents" he continued, as the re-
porter ran his hand into his pocket for
the dime which he gave to the messen-
ger. The latter pulled out greasy book
and made an illegible entry, thanked the
donor and went away, first saying that
the lady what is to rattle sweeps out tho
department after office hours"
The reporter started to visit several
places in the department, but before he
had gone very far, half dozen more mes-
sengers came up with tho same requests.
Two others wanted him to vote them a
gold-headed cane at q church fair. 1t
,ost 10 cents to vote, and tho two col
ored gentlemen were the only ones who
would be benefited. Another had struck
new scheme. 1t was to rattle off baby
carriage, and he explained tho cause by
ssying; well, you see, the baby that
rode in this carriage has got too big, and
ala mother wants to get rid Of it,"
How much does she expect to get for
it?"
well, thereare one hundred chances at

this nuisance does not prevail, and almost

and wanting all kinds of donations for

incur tho hatred of the applicants. and at
times they can bs extremely discour-
teons, and even throw obstacles in ones
way. AS an instance of this, gentle
man said yesterday that he was four days
in getting to SEQ tho head of depart
mont, the colored messenger having torn
up his card, and returned, telling him
that the Secretary was not in. His only
crime was refusing TO give tho messenger
vote on foot warmer.
Tho practice became so intolarablo in
the Interior Department. during the ad-
ministration OF Secretary Teller that he
issued tho following order;

There is no soliciting in that department
