We happened into the orphans court on
Tuesday, shortly after l o'clock, and found
these members Of that august body present un-
EN- oloyed and engaged in the pleassn occupa-
ton of amusing themselves. One Of the judges
was engaged in reading the daily paper and
the other was industrio usly twirlibg his fingers
and sp. cula,ing on the weather. The deputy
register was also deeply interested in the
news columns OF paper while the bailff
WIS solaring himself with seductive whifs
from an oderous pipe and gazing with serene
content on the empty square. The chief judge,
whom we desired to see on q private matter,
was ut dinner. After few eursory remarks

had no intention OF commenting on the worh
of the court, as, having already expressed oul
opinion we hid thought TO leave the rest te

We did make an examination of the minutes

An excellent article appeared in the Balt-
more Sun on Wednesday regarding habits and
diet for warm weather from which we take the
following: "a careful person may eat wha t
he wants of either vegetables or fresh mature
meat, just as at other seasons OF the ear, only
he must rest little before meals if he is hot
and tired, must eat slowly, and must rest a
little bile before exercising again in the hot
sun. When unusually tired and hot, il is bet
ter to eat very little, and that only of simple
foods If food is not digested, the sooHrr one
s rid Of it the better, before it has lett the sto
mach. In both cold and hot weather il is in
jurions 10 GO more than Eve or SIX hsurs with
out food glass of milk makes very good
lunch, and one is more apt to sleep on bot sum
ner nights if supper has consisted tot OF tea or
coffee and meats but of milk and buttered
bread. OF course those who don't nind being
sick will make experiments vi various sorts
of doubtful foods. There is no objection 10 the
use of glass or two of water at meals by one
Who wants it. II there is an unsatished crav-
ing for water il is better either 10 drink little
vinegar and wafer or to let the stomach rest.
Lemonade is rsfreshing under these circumstsn-
ces, but disagrees with some persons when ta-
ken at meals. Fresh fruits form one Of the
chief attractions of the summer meal. Even
after they have been brought from distance
they are grateful TO the palate They are, in
fact, only forms of delightfully."- favored water.
The amount of solid matter in melon or
peach, for example, is very small. When their
freshness is doubtful they should he cooked
when they are really stale they should be sbun-
ned rs violent poison. Cautious persons avoid
use Of crabs and clans and such ike after sum
mer has airly begun. At times they are very
poisonous, and at present we do moi know ex.
actly why they are so or in what case they will
prove dangerous. 1t is said that scientific men

Return of the Soldiers.

Co. E of the First Regiment returned to
their homes in the county by the evening train
on Friday last after their ten days sojourn at
Camp jackson, where they had gone TO learn
the duties of a soldier The boys ali returned
in good health and we'll pleased with their camp
life, which for general comfort was far ahead
of the Hagerstown camp tive years ago. Our
boys lost nothing at this camp of the good re-
pHtation they had previously earned, bat for
gentlemanly behavior and soldierly bearing
they were conspicuous and received mnch de-
served commendation for their attentive ness to
duty and ex,ertness ia drill. The camp life
was a tedious routine day after day, commenc-
ing al O'Clock, a. m but our boys took to 1t
uncomplainngly and were always ready to the
call of duty. No unusual incident happened
in Co. E during the encampment and as camp
life is pretty generally understood it is useless
for US to 60 into the details of the daily routine.
Capt. Boswell handled his men with skill aud
discretion and to his tact and ability is due
much OF the praise that our company received
Lieut.. Daley was made officer of the guard both
In going and returning from the camp, having
seven companies under his charge during each
trip. No incident occurred, however, to mar
the journey an6 the position was snecure.-
As commanding officer Col. Wilmer won the
respect and esteem of every officer and man in
the command, and when camp brcke he car
ried with him the good wishes of every one
with whom be came in contact, in either a so
cial or military capacity. Ii was conceded by
disnterssted jadges that The First Regimeat
carried of the palm in drilling and man9uvres
On the 6eld, and it is further conceded by that
that whatever praise they deserved
was due to the indefatigable zeal and energy
Of their commanding officer, who united with
a strong sense of military discipline thorough
of military tactics. All in al our
county has every right to feel proud OF her SOL
diers and of the comma nder she furnished the
leading regiment Of the brigade. To the boys
themselves we opine the most pleasing feature
win be " hen they receive from the State their
pay Tor the ten days service they have render
ed, which will be forthcoming in short while
