Campfire Gossip.

GOVERNOR HovEY of Indiana de-
clines to be considered candidate for
the office of commander-in-ch chief at the
next national encampment.
CoMMANDER-IN.C CHIEF VEAzEY, in a
circular letter, suggests that it would
increase the interest in post meetings
to have the post officers commit the
work, so as to be able to dispense with
the book, except for reference.
A CHARTER has been granted by the
commander-in. chief for provisional
post which will bear the name of Gen
eral Sherman. The new post will be
formally instituted during the Sherman
memorial exercises which are to be held
at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on
Thursday evening, May Z.
PRESIDENT HARRISON has promised
to be present at the Memorial day ex-
ercises at New York city, if possible.
The arrangements so far indicate that
the night celebration will eclipse any
of its predecessors in New York city.
Robert g. Ingersoll and Major McKin-
ley are down on the list of speakers.
LAST August at the meeting in Bos-
ton the Grand Army had grown to 7 IFS
posts in forty-four states and territories,
with membership IN good standing of
427 ISL. The total membership, includ-
ing those under suspension or out on
transfer, was 45S, $50. If the increase
since then has been equal to that which
had taken place during the previous
year, the meeting next August will
show 100000 members The Grand
Army expends about S250,000 a year
from its relief fund, and up to this Time
its records show more than 81 100000
thus paid out.

4 little Lame Boy.


About sixty years ago a lame boy,
named Erastus, left % humble home in
New England, and entered hardware
store in Troy, New York. Besides be-
ing lame he was slender and sickly, and
his prospects in life seemed ANYTHING
but promising. He knew little of the
sports and pastimes that his companions
enjoyed in their childhood; his face,
even in the freshest years of life, bore
the marks of suffering and care, and
his friends pitied him and said he was
very unfortunate.
But he had quick, active mind full
of right aspirations, and heart full of
generous impulses. His mind was at
work, preparing for usefulness in the
future, and fondly dreaming of bright
days to come, even in the solitary hours
of sickness and suffering.
He did the best he could, though his
lot was so circumscribed, and God had
ife-work, full of honor, for the poor,
little lame boy.
When he first applied for work in a
store, he was so small that the pro-
prietor looked into his earnest face with
some surprise and said:
Why, my boy, what can you dor"
can do what / am bid" was the
manly answer
There was the right ring in the re-
ply, and the proprietor recognized it.
Well, my little fellow" said he,
that is the kind of boy we want
you can have the place"
That boy was Erastus Corning, the
millionaire. The neglected, solitary
lame boy made himself so useful to his
employers, by his willingness to do
what he was Did," as to secure for
himself the highest positions of respon-
sibility and trust.
He became bank president, a rail.
road president, canal company presi-
dent, was three times elected mayor of
Albany, was member of the state
legislature, and for three terms men,
Der of congress-. Iu 1863 he retired
from business with fortune estimated
at five millions.
The Bible says that " he that hum
bleth himself shall be exalted" and the
boy who would become successful in
life, must, like this man, begin by show
ing willingness to do anything that he
is bid. A conceited, hesitating, over
nice clerk, comes to nothing; but the
lad who is earnest and resolute, whose
aims and purpose are his motive power,
who is not turned aside from an object
in life by false pride, in short, who, in
any honorable calling, I" is willing to do
as he is bid" is almost certain, other
things being equal, to rise in reputa-
ton, and to be richly rewarded with
success. - Youths Companion

The March to the Sea.

Among the chief figures of the epoch
of the war probably Lincoln and Sher-
man were the most individual and
original. The most romantic and pic
turesque of the many renowned events
of that time was the march to the sea.
1t has already a distinctive character,
like that of the Greeks in Xenophon's
story of the Ten Thousand. When
the news of its successful issue reached
this part of the country, it served to
show the simple and honest patriotism
of one of the most unfortunate of the
Union generals. Burnside, after the
explosion of the mine at Petersburgh,
had been relieved, and was STAYING
with a company of friends at country
house ON Narragansett Bay. The com
pany were all sitting one morning upon
the spacious piazza, when a messenger
rode up and announced Sherman's sue
cess. Burnside's delight was enthusi-
astic. All thought of himself vanished.
The good cause only was in his mind
and heart, and, running to his wife, he
joyfully kissed her, saying, 81 know
that the, company feels as l do, and
will forgive me-" 1t was the feeling
of soldier as simple and true-hearted
and patriotic, but not so fortunate, as
Sherman; and it was the same candor
and manly sweetness of nature that
softened Sherman's voice whenever he
spoke of the soldiers of the war to
whom fate had seemed to be unkind.
He is gone, the last of the old familiar
figures, some of his old foes bearing
him tenderly to the grave. And are
not Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan,
Porter, Seward, Chase, Stanton, Sum-
ner, and their fellows, historic figures
worthy to rank with the elder revolu-
tlonary group dear to all Americans

Magazine.

Queerness.

It's queer, when the world seems steady
1t really is whirling so;
It's queer that the plants get larger,
When no one can see them grow.
It's queer that the fountains water
Leaps high in the sunshine bright,
And queer that the moon can never
Fall out of the sky at night
It's queer that one clover blossom
Is white, and another red.
When the same black earth surrounds them.
The same rain waters their bed
It's queer that of all these wonders
We take so little heed,
And that as for feeling thankful,
We seldom see the need
We scold II the weather's chilly,
And fret in the hot sunlight,
Don't like to get up in the morning,
Hang back from the bed at night
Yet, queerest Of all the queerness,
Are surely those girls and boys
who live in a world of beauty
And rather see woes than joys

Nantes are always difficult to choose
but there is great variety TO tempt pur'
chasers. The best are three quarter length
with high shoulders and collar. Some Of
the newest have yokes Of velvet or fur in
troduced.
Broche velvets will be good deal worn
as the season advances, and all the cloaks
are cut on the cross. This cross cutting
adds to the amplitude of the folds.
Sicilienne is frequently blended with vel
vet and sable tail. Handsome shot silk
Innings are used, and for evening wear very
light cloths are trimmed principally with
white Thibet goat, and richly embroidered
In small pearl beads and gold thread. Fol
travelling there is good deal of solid com
fort in the ample wooden check cloaks
which have detachable capes, cut on the
cross, descending almost to the knee.
The jackets are most of them of the high
wayman order, with big flap pockets and
deep gauntlet cuffs. These have waist
coat and outstanding collar. There art
jackets in black cloth, embroidered in black
and gold, and jackets in fancy cloth elabo
rately braided. Cloth covert coats with
their loose fronts and high rundown collar
afford pleasing variety.

Still others have wider white MORE stripes
