The regular monthly meeting of the
Presidents Troop, Troop A, d. G. N. G.,
was held at the armory of the w. L. l.
Corps last evening, the chairman, Mr.. A.
W. FERGUSON, presiding. The attendance
was large and enthusiasm reigned. Many
questions Of moment to the troop were dis
cussed, and IL was evident that the young
men are thoroughly in earnrst and propose
to leave nothing untried which shall make
this command credit to Washington and
itself. The reports of the several standing
committees showed that the troop is on q
substantial footing in many ways. 1t Is
gaining considerable proficiency In military
maneuvers and the saber exercises, and II
the present vouches tor the future, the end
of summer will find In Washington Presi-
dents Troop worthy Of the name and of the
Capital City. The active and honorary
rolls Of the troop are increasing rapidly.
Eight active and ten honorary members
were elected last evening. The question of
the troops participation In the centennial
parade in New York was discussed and a
committee appointnd to investigate the
feasibility and expense Of such trip.

close of the Oyster Dredging season.

The dredging season closed yesterday.
The time for the longing and scraping will
expire on April 10. About 1900, 900
bushels of oysters have been received at
this port during the season. The oysters
have been only In fair condition. 1t is
thought that the season has been more re-
munerative TO the tongers and scrapers than
to the dredgers. The close Of the season
will throw many persons out OF employ
ment az the freight rates are too low to JUS
tify the captains Of these small vessels in
engaging In trading. The smaller boats
will transport truck, while the greater pro-
portion will remain idle until the next

A well known railroader said to-
day that the Florida oranges season
is now practically over, with the ex-
ception of the Indian river fruit.
The crop he estimates at from 81
100000 to 3,250,00O boxes, which is
over twice what last years crop was.
Next seasons crop, he says, will be
twice as large as this season. The
movement Of oranges this season, he
says has been more to the West.
Last year fully two-thirds Of the
crop went to the Eastern markets.
This year fully one half of the crop
has gone to the markets in the

Nothing can be more certain than
that the character can be sustained
and strengthened only by its own
energetic action, The will, which
is the central force of character,
must be trained to habits of decision;
otherwise it will be able neither to
resist evil nor to follow good. De-
cision gives the power of standing
firmly, when to yield, however
slightly, might be only the first step
n a downhill course to ruin.

IT is said that last Saturday at
Americas, while one of the largest
mercantile houses of that place was
thronged with customers, a man
pushed hurriedly forward, threw
down a bill of large denomination
and asked for change. The mer-
chant saw the figures 900" on a
corner and gave back the change.
When he went to count his cash
that night he had a hundred-dollar
Confederate bill on hand.
