THE CAMP on THE LAWN By THE sEA-AH-
RANGEMENTS FOR THE DEPARTURE To.
NIGHT-rHE ROSTER OF THE coRPs-THH
MIKADO.
There was hustle Of activity at the armory
Of the Light Infantry last evening when the
preparations were in progress for the departure
this evening OF the corps to Atlantic City,
where the annual encampment will be made.
The large camp chests were grouped In one part
OF the armory. with their covers yawning wide
open like hungry man watching the prepare
ton Of his dinner, and into these capacious
maws bundles of all sizes and shapes were tossed
by eager hands, and were received by Is detach-
menf OF the "small squad" who had been de-
tailed for duty inside the chests and who rem.
oered great service in bringing refractory bum
dies TO terms by stamping them with their feet
In this way the diminutive forms of the "small
squad gradually grew in the sight of the spec
tators until they doomed above the top OF the
CHESTS, and then 1t was known that the chests
were full. These, however, were the corps
chests, but no such measures were adopted In
regard to
THE MESS CHESTS.
These were packed with the most scrupulous
care, and the various articles collected with the
view OF adjoining the tents and outshining
every otner mess In camp were packed away

The ImpetuOus Spirit.

From the Mobile (Ala.) Register, August II
The killing of H. NJ Sullivan by c. b. Howry
at Oxford, Miss, is a most deplorable affair. 1t
is not for us to pronounce judgment as to
whether there was excuse for the killing; q
court of justice and jury must do this. But it
is within the province of journalistic comment
TO point TO this tragedy as another result of the
weapons, which still prevails to too great an
extent in the south. In this case the weapon
was carried by judicial officer: We are told
that there had long been a feud between these
two gentlemen. both occupying high social and
official position. We are also informed that
both were impetuous, warm-blooded, and
neither would wear an insult for a moment"
Alas! that is so, but this same impetuous spirit
is responsible for much of the blood that is shed
at the south. To-day it is the cause of a widows
bitter tears, OF strong mans keen remorse.
For ii Mr.. Howry's character and standing are
such as they have been represented to be he
cannot but feel deeply the consequence OF his
act An impetuOus spirit is still too prevalent
In some parts of tine south. That is the reason
that personal difficulties occur often as
they do; not as frequently as in the past, but
much too often still. In investigating homi-
cides due to feuds between men possessing such
a spirit the cold facts should be looked at, the
law upheld, and punishment melted cut il
deserved. There should be no glamour thrown
around such cases on account of the social
standing and respectable position OF the parties.
If there is excuse Tor the killing full credit
should be given for it; ii none, then the law
should take its course.

Selecting n YlOrse.

From the Prairie Farmer
Mr.. O. R. Gleason, professor Of Horsetrain.
Ing" who certainly has shown great skill In
subduing and breaking the most obdurate ami
mails, gives the following advice:
The question may arise: For steady hard work
at moderate speed, will not a heavy framed,
STRONG muscle animal, with slight intelligence,
like the mule, return more work for the food,
than the one with higher mental faculties and
more active nerves? Is not there a waste OF
force, OF the power desired. from the nutriment
consumed. in the horse with a highly developed
nervous constitution? Mr.. Gleason advises 10
never select horse having long ears, lined
inside with long, straight hair. Do not buy one
mat Is narrow between the ears and between
the eyes, or that has fat round eyes in sunken
orbits, and whose nostrils are small and thick,
for he will certainly prove to be beast OF small
intelligence, hard to teach, incapable OF re-
membering aud liable to be obstinate, just as
stupid persons are. And do not buy the horse
that Is narrow at the top of the head, bullying
between the eyes and has "A sunken, dish-like
lace between them, for he is sure to be vicious
and treacherous. But take the horse that has
short ears, with short, curly hair beside them,
that Is broad between the ears and eyes, with a
regular. straight face and large, thin nostrils,
for In him you will find an intelligent, spirited
yet willing servant, and faithful friend, ii
treated rightly.

Sun Spots and Storms.

FROM the Rochester Democrat
The prediction to- August 16 to "a teie

Iowa, and published yesterday morning, is
founded on the return of the solar disturbance
which caused the widespread electrical storms
OF week before last. In an article published al

CfrOnicte observer estimated that the effects OF
the great solar disturbance would begin to be
felt again about the 18th of August. DR.. Veeder,

OF return at about the 18th of August. 1t Is
probable that the facuie preceding the spots
