Tie Blue and the Gray.

BALTIMORE, May 6.-Baltimore to-day
presented more active appearance than
for some time past. There is great deal
more decoration than was expected, and
the streets are filled with people drawn
here by the meeting Of the Society of
the Army of the Potomac. Uniformed
men are plenty, and they are greeted
with cordial welcome. Robert E. Lee
Camp of Confederate Volunteers arrived
in the city at LAO p. m., and received
quite an ovation. The business meeting
Of the Eleventh Army Corps was held in
the forenoon, and that of the Society
was held at Ford's Opera House at 2 p.
m. Gen. Grant was reelected Comman.
der by acclamation amid storm of
enthusiasm which lasted several minutes.
All of the old officers were then re.elect-
ed IN q similar manner. At this point
General w. q. Brown, of Washington,
tn,k the floor and suggested that as the
:: E. Lee Camp of Richmond, Va, were
in the Immediate neighborhood, it would
be both generous and graceful to invite
them to occupy seats on the floor of the
house and make their acquaintance. A
motion to that effect was made and sec.
onded, when two or three men jumped
up and violently opposed such proceed
ing, one saying that rebel, no matter
how repentant, had no interest in the
business of Union soldiers, and that their
presence was an insult which he could
not endure. Nearly every man in the
house was instantly on his feet, trying to
make himself heard, and for q while
there was a scene of wild confusion,
which threatened to terminate in per-
sonal encounter. The Chairman vainly
endeavored to secure order and threaten.
ed to invoke the aid of the police. Quiet
was finally restored and committee ap.
pointed to invite the ex-Confederates to
meet their old opponents after thebusi-
ness of the meeting was disposed of.
After adjournment the committee ap-
pointed to invite R. E. Lee Camp to seats
on the floor came in, bringing with them
long string of men in gray suits.
They were greeted with great. applause
and in return filled the house with a
genuine "rebel yelP that threatened to
pull down the ceiling. The ex.Confed-
crates were scattered among the blue.
coats and their officers invited to occupy
seats on the stage. Colonel McGinnis Of
Montana welcomed them with graceful
speech, to which Commander, General
Cook responded. Short but brilliant
addresses were made by Colonel Charles
Marshall, who was chief of General Lees
staff, and Colonel Evans of Richmond,

Story of a Smart American Dog.

One Summer afternoon group of
children were playing at the end Of
pier which projects into Lake Ontario,
near Kingston, New York, .. S. A.
The proverbial careless child of the party
made the proverbial backward step of
from the pier into the water. None of
his companions could save him, and their
cries had brought no one from the shore,
when, just as he was sinking for the
third time, superb Newfoundland dog
rushed down the pier into the water, and
pulled the boy out. Those of the chill
dren who did not accompany the boy
home took the dog to confectioner's on
the shore, and fed him with as great
variety of cakes and other sweets as he
could eat. So far the story is, of course,
only typical of scores of well-known
cases. The individuality Of this case is
left for the sequal.
The next afternoon the same group of
children were playing at the same place,
when the canine hero of the day before
came trotting down to them with the
most friendly wags and mods. There be-
ing no occasion this time for supplying
him with delicacies, the children only
stroked and patted him. The dog, how
ever, had not come out of pure sociabili.
ty. A child in the water and cakes and
candy stood to him in the close and OBJ.
vious relation of cause and effect, and if
this relation was not clear to the children,
he resolved to impress it upon thcm:
Watching his chance, he crept up behind
the child who was standing nearest 10
the edge of the pier, gave sudden push,
which sent him into the water, then
sprang in after him and gravely brought
him to shore.
To those of us who have had high
respect for the disinterestedness of dogs,
this story may give proof that the devel-
opment of the intelligence, at the ex.
pense Of the moral nature, is by no means
exclusively human.

One of the Professors at the Uni

absent minded men in the State. Not
long since a gentleman, who was only
slightly acquainted with him, asked him !:

moments and then replied: eyes, 1

"Well, you see, 1 made money during

Protection.

Henry George in Louisville Courier
Journals: There is something in the very
name of protection that ought to make
workingmen cautious of accepting any
thing presented to them under it. Tho
protection of the masses has in all times
been the prctense of tyranny-the plea
of monarchy, of a~ristocracy, of special
privilege of every kind. The slave-own.
ers justified slavery as protecting tho
slaves. British misrule in Ireland is
upheld on the ground that it is
for the protection of tho Irish.
But whether under n monarchy or II re.
public, there never has been an instance
in the history of the world in which tho
protection of tho laboring masses has not
meant their oppression. Tho protection,
which those who have got the law-mak-i
ing power into their hands have given to
labor has, at best, always been the
protection that man gives to cattle.
Ho protects them that he may
use and eat them. There runsj
through protectionists professions Of
concern fOrlabor Il tone of condescendine
patronage more insulting to men who
feel the true dignity of labor than frankly
expressed contempt could bean AS
sumption that pauperism il tho natural
condition of labor. to which 1t must
everywhere must fall. 1t is never init
mated that the land owner or the capital
list needs protection. They, it Is always
assumed, can help themselves. II is only
the poor, helpless workingman who must
be provided with employment lest he
starve.

Of this meetiagy Under the head
OF literature VIZ can report II
wonderfully increasing desire for mis-.
s.onary intelligence. Letter after letter
IS received asking for leaflets and other
reading matter} this, too, from parties
taking Women's Work for Women, Chill.
dren's Work for Children. There seems
TO be an unwarranted desire on the part
of our missionary ladies for original mat.
ter; something that brings the work very
near homo to them, something which
seems almost u part of themselves, hence
it has been suggested that they edit
local missionary columns. Several
societies report editing a local column
with pleasing and satisfactory results,
also creating and awakening an inter-
est among those who were indif-
fcrent. | wish that every society in the
state would undertake this work. Prob
ably every home receivcso n or more Soc
ular papers. Homes where no mission.
airy intelligence is received, but il the
missionary means can be introduced
without added expense or trouble to
these secular readers, then n great step
has been taken towards that education,
for the lack of which our cause suffers SO
much.
As to the missionary department in tho
Christian Home, we feel inclined to say
but little. The work during the past year
has been performed faithfully, earnestly
and with good intent. If it has resulted
in any permanent good, many thanks
are due TO tho dear friends who have
kindly contributed letters, items of
interest and words of encourage
ment. During the year it has
secured correspondents from Sandwich
Islands, Ceylon, Turkey, Dakota, Utah
and Idaho, all of whom agree to furnish
articles as often rs possible. Other fields
arc also being solicited. With these
statements we rest the work in tho hands
of tho society for such further action as
it may think best. Thus closes the re-
port of another year. Dear sisters, let us
look diligently to the work on our hands
as .to-morrow's sun shall opon to us Il
new and clean page OF our missionary
work.
"The Master calls for reapcrs,
And shall He call in vainp
Shall sheaves lie here ungathered,
