sit is very good for strength to know
that some one needs you to be strong"
Think of the pitifulness of life shorn
of such needs, the emptiness of heart
that has not the sweet task of urging
itself onward and upward for others
sakes. We are not meant to be thus
set apart. If in the course of nature
the house be left unto you desolate,
the human ties removed or severed,
count on it there is need elsewhere
for you to "be strong" Especially is
this true of women today, when wo-
mans war is ION" against the forces
that have invaded and destroyed her
sweet seclusion. Drunkard's children,
suicides wives, criminals families, sa-
looms victims are crying to her on eve
ry hand, for vain, indeed, had been the
help of men. Here is tonic for
strength Let us write it on our walls
that we may see it as we pass in and
out-"It is very good for strength to
know that some one needs you to be
strong"

To the Point.

From the San Antonio (Tex) Argus
we take the following:
The Rev. George Stewart puts pro
gressive euchre in its true light. He
hopes every one whose moral sense is
so dull that they have not seen the aw
fulness of game they suppose to be
innocent will be awakened to the fear
full tendency of this alluring and Sc
ductive game. We can understand
how men might be persuaded into
gambling when away from home and
pleasant surroundings, with nothing
specially to interest them of an elevat-
ing and refining nature, but how wo-
men, pure and sweet, innocent and sim
pie, can lend their influence to game
that is educating the youth to love
gambling and it's dreadful effects, we
can never understand. He says:
II draw two pictures: Here is filthy
back room in a saloon, table and a
greasy deck of cards. Four old sots
are playing for twenty five cents Over
there is magnificent parlor and on
the table is a beautiful vase, and at an
other table is lot of church members
playing progressive euchre. l look at
the latter and say there is the crowd
that is hurting worst. The old saloon
is on the ground, the old sots are on
the ground and can't get any lower;
but in that gilded parlor the young
people are engaging in sin that will
graduate them into the gambling room
aud into hell. | say to you, preachers,
get progressive euchre out of the churh
or shut your mouth about the gamb
who plays out of the church. 1t is
nothing but gambling straightout and
they ought to be pulled for it. You
pull niggers for shooting craps and
you ought to pull the fellow who plays
for vases. One is gambling as much as
the other. Down in Corsicana | used
this illustration: Here is Niger girl
with the smallpox; l would rather
have her to nurse my sweet little girl
than have her taught by Sunday
school teacher who plays progressive
euchre and chaperones dancers. Why
The negro could only impart to my
child the fatal disease that would cause
her little body to wither and die while
her soul would be waited to God and
some day l would meet her in heaven,
but the euchre playing and dancing
Sunday school teacher could impart to
her moral nature the disease of death
that would finally plunge her soul into
hell. And say that the one could on
ly destroy her body while the other
would destroy her soul, and as / prize
the soul above the body so l would
rather have child nursed by negro
with the smallpox than to be taught by
the Sunday school teacher who plays
progressive euchre and goes to dances"

CAMP HARRISON S. BARBOUR

MARSHALL HALL, Md, Sept L. 1884.
This morning Acting First Lieutenant w.
H. Mellach. inspector of rife practice for
the Presidents troop A, d. c. n. c.,
mounted dummy target in the ravine
just north of the camp and near the sta
hles. This kind of target is properly known
as silhouette" or d. target and is an
excellent representation of a soldier firing
standing. 1t will be used In revolver prac-
tice, and Is much better than the round
targets. as it accustoms a man to the
practical use of his weapons. and gives him
a chance to select the vital points, at the
same time testing his ability to do effective
work.
The troop was formed at 2 o'clock; and
marched to the temporary range. Lieut..
Mellach opened the performance with a
short instruction in the use of the revolver,
manner of firing. and so forth.
Each man fired ten snap shots at ten
yards, with an allowance of fifteen seconds
for a shot, and ten rounds "at will at
twenty-five yards. Lieut. Mellach did the
scoring, and Trumpeter FitzSer ald looked
after the welfare Of the target.
Quite a large crowd of spectators assem-
bled to witness the firing, and when a bet
ter than the ordinary score was made warm
ly applauded the successful trooper. At
the time Of the troop firing the regulars.
who are encamped on the other side of the
resort. were also INDUCING in a great deal
of practice shooting, and. as one approached
the militia camp and heard the far-off roll
OF the regulars guns, with the long. deep
echo, followed in rapid succession by
the shot and echo of the troopers pistols,
a picture Of battle and bloodshed was sug-
gested.
The scores that were made were as fol-
lows: Sergt. Conard, 81: Sergt Pillsbury, 30;
Eubank, u; Page, Is; Neumeyer. ID; Mar
tin, 36. and Trumpeter Fitzgerald. 4S.
Trumpeter Fftzgerald's forty-eight points
out Of a possible fifty is a great score, and
one seldom made with the revolver. The
successful guardsman received many con-
CALCULATIONS from his comrades.
The battery's farrier sergeant had some
work to do this morning, as the long pike
had loosened a number of shoes.
The Baltimore Light Guard Association
Of Baltimore paid the camp a visit. and
they were entertained by Lieut. Beatty.
commandant of the camp.
Trumpeter Fitzgerald is entertaining Mr..
Charles A. Blair. an ex-lieutenant of COM

NJ, and the old comrades enjoyed one of
the trumpeter's famous prairie chickens"
These two men served together for nine
years In the Massachusetts militia.
The mounted drill this morning was a
signal success, and ended with three mag
nificent charges. The alignments during
the charges were something to be proud of.

A Peculiar Well.

From the Centre Hal, (Pa.,) Re
porter:-Jncob Lee living just be
yOnd the southern limits of the Dor
Ough, about two weeks ago set his
well drilling apparatus to work to
lore for water in his back yard
Reaching depth of 5S feet q stream
was struck and the rattle of running
water could be plainly heard, but did
not rise to render It satisfactory for
pumping. The drill was again set to
work to go deeper, and on getting
down near three more the bottom
seemed to have fallen OUT, and with
q thud The drill went down about ten
feet into a cave, and the water that
bad been struck at 5S feet depth, dis
appeared, no doubt, through the boIo
lato the cave, at the bottom of which
a running stream of water could be
heard and also seen by letting n Ian
tern down. At the depth of the
first forty feet the drill went through
a bed of iron ore, samples of which
we're shown to an expert, who pro
uouncsd it one of the most valuable
quality.
