1885 the population has increased from
2,97S065 to 1907 1877, and the births from
93,349 to l26.110 per annum; of these, in
1850 1915, being rs per cent, were il
legitimate; in 1885 the percentage was
SAC decrease from the highest rate
which was 1912 per cent. in 1866. In 1885
the percentage of births to the popula-
ton was 1851; in 1885 it was increased
to 3.2272. Marriagef fell from percent
age of O.6G0S of the population in 1856 to

were G2004, and i'll 1885 to 74,O03. being,
respectively, 2.0S20 and 1891 to the pop

from that magnificent body of men, the
regular army of the United States (colored.)
AT present. however, our ideas on this
subject are all radically wrong and must be
changed.
Members of the National guard at this
tlme have erroneous opinions as to their
duties. Some of them desire to camp at
summer hotel when ordered out by the
good and great commander in-chief, the
governor of this state. They object because
their bill Of fare does not include all the
delicacies of the season. from soup to nuts.
One gentleman asks to have an assistant to
do guard duty, and yet another aims to get
a colOred boy to carry his gun while at in
spection. l must admit that thought it
very hard to have to march out on Decora-
ton day and haul heavy gun myself.
Every one could see how much pleasanter
it would be to perform the long march in
carriages. a SQUAD of four to each carriage
and the driver having the guns on his seat.
This would permit of smoking. and would
do much to overcome the fatigue of the
soldiers life.
Such ideas as these have been TOO COM
mon in the minds of the citizen soldiers
they are all vitality wrong and should be
eradicated by the government, and strict
regulars as outlined heretofore, be eXacted
at all times and in all places.
