PISTOLS.

Judge Preston's remarks, in charging
the juries in two cases of manslaughter
tried before him during the present
term of the Supreme Court, should not
be without some good effect. Perhaps
not many people who keep pistols as
means of protection and defense can
be induced by advice from any quarter
to part with them Yet if they are i'm
bued with higher sense of RESPONSE
bility in the possession of the danger
GUS weapons, a salutary effect will
have been produced by His Honors
reflections. Possibly many innocent
lives may be saved and corresponding
blood-guiltincss avoid, d, if the owners
of pistols accept the warning words
from the bench Of Justice. A burglar
or a robber, especially when plying his
vilanous work under darkness, has not
much claim to respect for his life on
the part of those he attempts to de-
spoil He is to be regarded as coming
prepared to do personal vi lence TO
effect his object If plumber 'r to pre-
vent his detention. Still, before shoot
ing man down, or otherwise taking
or endangering his life, very great care
should be used to make sure that he is
the unlawful intruder supposed. There
are many occasions in almost every
mans experience, when evil intent
may be surmised- -aaainst- -hirA -,si. .hs-s...
perfectly innocent errand Once in
a strange town the writer found him
self walking unbidden, after 10 o'clock
al night, into the house Of strangers
mistaken for that of his friendly host
next door. Had the lights been out
the results might have included
the prevention of the Honolulu
HERALD from coming into being to
enlighten the world. The sacrcdness
OF human life demands that, even in
cases where the presumption OF Grim
inal intrusion is very strong, fair and
reasonable warning or challenge should
be given by the one who believes his
property or person is in danger For
want OF care and courage IN cases OF
this kind, the most fearful griefs have
been brought upon households
Nothing in these remarks refers to the
practice of carrying deadly weapons
concealed in public, here as IN all we'll
ordered communities unlawful 1t is
universally admitted among decent
people to be cowardly practice, ex-
cept under possible circumstances If
an exceptional nature and then with
The license of the authorities. But what
is desired just now is that people hav-
ing pistols IN their houses should be
terribly careful that they are not the
means of destroying life except in the
absolute defense of life.

First, we went on an excursion to Freder-
icksburg; things were handled badly and
back we came to the old camp; Eugene and
! bailed out the cellar, put up the roof and
resumed housekeeping in our old dwell
ing Then our corps went on n Christmas
trip up the rivera failure unrecorded in
history-gave it up and came back home.
Then Burnside tried it again, and this time
our old friend, Virginia mud was against
us and there was an etfectual 'tie up" las
we now say of pack mules, cannon and
wagons. Once more the old home welcomed
us and again we commenced improvements
on our real estate in the very same spot.
We now looked upon ourselves as quar-
tered there for the rest of the war. The
BODYBUILDING activity of the regiment was
too great to be satisfied with the private
residences in the company streets and spent
itse f upon a regimental church, really quite
an imp sing structure of logs, with seats
and pulpit all complete, and well utilized,
not only on Sundays, hut on week day even-
ings with debating societies, lectures and
classes So we lived tiil Joe Hooker issued
invitations for another picnic, an eight day
one, since known as Chancellorsville. This
time, we thought, surely wa the last. But
now We came back once more, inside of the
eight days, and worse used up than ever.
All organization was pretty well suspended
by unanimous consent and was SIMPLY go
as-you-please, but get to the old camp.
That was a manpuvre we had pretty well
earned, and though like such movements
ION the right into line" it looked disor
derby, yet it got there.
So in thinking over our next trip, which
fetched us up at Gettysburg, no wonder l
had to drift back to that old >hanty in Stat
ford county. 1t occurs to me that the little
details of our camp life are fading away
and that they are well worth sketching for
the present generation, which knows not
war; for this years voter was born after the
war was over
