RlVERvIEw CAMP.
over 5000 Persons, Mostly white. At
tend the Services Yesterday.


Yesterday was big Sunday at River
view camp on the line Of the electric rail.
way A small crowd was out at the
morning service. Rev. j. B Cooper
preached forcible sermon on "He Loves
Me-" In the afternoon Rev. q. V. Peter
son preached from the text: Daniel, v,
"a: Thou art weighed in the balance
and found wanting" In the evening
Rev. E. B. Scott chose for his text: n He
touched me from Luke viii, As.
Now for the people.
At the morning service, 400 persons
were present. about one half Of these
were white. At o'clock the rush began
and the railway company found it nee
essary to add another car to the two
already running. Then another car was
added, and four cars were kept going
from o'clock until II 20 when the last
car left the ground. The rush was un
precented in the history Of the road The
cars carried sixty to eighty
persons to a load and
were crowded on every trip until
o'clock. when the number going to the
camp became smaller There was no
diminution in the number returning.
Even four cars could not carry all the
people, and many walked while others
used the numerous hacks
At least ohe-half the 5000 persons on
the grounds at o'clock. were white; in
fact the whites seemed to monopolize the
walking space.
The afternoon and evening sermons and
prayer meeting were attended by large
audiences which were deeply interested
in the exercises. The sermons were full
Of the old time darky eloquence and al
though many of the illustrations bordered
on the ridiculous, these were entirely
fitted to the place and occasion, as they
were purely natural expressions OF earnest
takers
After the preaching at night, prayer
meeting was held and the inimitable
singing, the tiresome motions, the clap
ping of hands and the expressions Of
gladness and grief on the faces of the
exhorters made up scene seldom seen
here; but that is a regular feature of
all colored camp meetings. The men
would sing line of verse and
the women refrain; there is
silence for about two seconds, then a
tireless exhorter shouts with all his re-
naming voice, and the singing and clap
ping continue. Once in while during
quiet interval, the voice Of the mourner
could be heard, as he prayed from his
kneeling position at the bench Urged
by his brethren and enthused by their
singing and prayers he finally jumped to
his feet and shouted GLORY, Hallelujah n
Then the glad exhorters would continue
their hard work in hope that others
might come forward and be saved The
meeting was successful in several ways.
The crowd wandered around the camp,
got its feet wet in the little stream that
divides the grounds, bought pies at the
'piery" and cigars at the stand and had
good time generally Meals were
served at ali lours in the few tents, and
at 10 o'clock last night persons were
still eating
Camp Riverview will continue until
Thursday evening and probably until
next Sunday Next Sunday is Big
Quarterly and Camp Riverview will not
be able to hold the people who will go to
see the ancient but effective method of
worship used by the colored people.

termed-from the effects OF the enemy's
projectiles. But the ironclad is none the
less necessary in order to make the enc
my fully understand that the navy has
the same power to attack seaports and
batter them down that he has
When it was at first decided to build
ironclads. the facilities for constructing
them and rolling the sheet armor were
entirely lacking in America. So Eng
land had to be applied to in the case Of
the Miantonomah's compound armor for
her turrets and pilot house, and the con-
signment from that country is now be-
ing put in place aboard the monitor,
after three years or more Of waiting
for the inside portion Of the turret to be
prepared for its reception. The first YES
sci, then, for coast defense will be pro-
tected by foreign material.
But the exertions of the navy depart
ment have been intelligently met by the
iron and steel men throughout the coun
try, and tho facilities for making steel
plates as heavy as are required by any
country are growing very fast, after
many years Of neglect and stagnation;
until nov there Is full assurance that
the MianturOnnh will be also the last of
tho American men-of-war to wear tho
production of the foreign founder.
Armored vessels are of two principal
types--those built for cruising, and those
constructed more particularly for coast
or harbor defense. Tho former must
carry large quantities of coal and have
the highest speed attainable, while the
latter, not being intended to make such
long passages, requires far less coal space,
and, as she il to maneuver in inclosed
and shallow waters. her speed need not
be SO high. AS less weight of machinery
and coal admit of increased armor thick
ness, the harbor defense vessel can wear
both heavier plates and guns of larger
caliber than the cruiser.
To the latter class of vessels the Maine
belongs, and las the illustrations show. she
is already well advanced, and has suf
ficient number of frames in place to give
one a tolerably good idea of her general
form and dimensions. Along the central
line of the upper deck are three super.
structures, one at tho bow, one at the
stern and one in the center of the decks.
The after superstructure contains the
quarters for the admiral and the captain.
and the two others are given to the crew.
These superstructures do not take up the
whole beam Of the vessel, but "A passage
is left on each side to permit the turret
guns to fire directly ahead and directly
astern. These turrets are not on the cen
trail line of the ship; the forward one is
on the starboard side and the after on
the port side, en- echelon, as the term is.
The idea of this arrangement is to Sc
cure the heaviest bow and stern fire pos.
sible. All four of the heavy ten-inch
rifles-the heaviest caliber intended for
cruising vessels-can by this means be
trained in the same direction.

troubled time In Italy. II is not easy 10 pic
ture to young readers the social and political
condition when Italy was divided into many
different states, all suspicious OF each other
and all especially jealous Of Sardinia, which
has since annexed all the others and thus es-
tablished the kingdom Of Italy. Art, science,
drama, poetry and everything else became
political and even schools Of music were d-
vided between "Guelph and Ghibelline."
Suffice it to state that after studying under
q private teacher and literally conquering his
way into the conservatory, after becoming
chief OF orchestra to the Philharmonic society
and composing many minor pieces, he at
length produced his first opera, which was
rendered at La Scala, in Milan, and proved
great success But the blacklist period Of his
life was yet to come When entering ON new
work, which promised profit as well as honor,
he was prostrated by sickness, and before his
recovery his wife and two children died.
Almost insane with grief, he was long inca
pacitated for work, but recovered at last and
entered on his brilliant career.
His widest known operas are "Nebucado-
nosor," "Ernani," "Attila," Macbeth
"Rigoletto,n III Troyatore,n LA Traviata,n
"Otello,n "Giovanna d 'Arco, "Aidi" and the
much laughed about but justly celebrated
"Un Ballo in Maschera" The ludicrous
features OF it came about as follows:
1t was written late in 1857, and the general
design was taken from the career of Gus.
tayus Ill, Of Sweden. II was an era Of gen.
eral ferment In Italy, so the censor of Naples
when it was TO be produced, declared that
the killing OF king in full view Of a Naples
audience was not TO be permitted. Verdi
hesitated as to making the desired changes,
but sort Of accommodation was arrived at
when, Jan. l3, 1858, just as the first rehearsal
was in progress, the telegraph brought news
that Felice Orsini had tried to assassinate
Napoleon Ill So the governments in Italy
declared that all king killing on the stage
was melting TO treason and could not he per-
mitted! The people broke out into indignant
protests, and Verdi became almost a revolu
tionary hero. Then came Jucovacci, director
Of the Apollo theatre at Rome, and engaged
10 get the opera produced there.
Some funny changes were made; the scene
was transferred from Sweden TO Boston in
colonial times Instead Of a king, the one
killed was Ricardo. the earl Of Warwick.
