An article from the Headlight

An article from the Headlight
published elsewhere in our col
umns in regard to an center
tainment," to be held at Park
sley. on the Goth inst, ''to raise
funds to aid in erecting a me-
mortal to the memory of East
ern Shore heroes will be a
genuine surprise to most of our
readers. They knew that the
entertainment to which 1t
refers was contemplated, but
that it had assumed a definite
shape or that the time had been
definitely determined upon the
most of them, like us. doubtless
were in ignorance. The time, as
we understood the resolution,
passed by the Harmanson-West
Camp Confederate Veterans at
a late meeting relative to the
entertainment" at Parksley,
was to be thoroughly advertised
through the papers, by posters
and otherwise and that efforts
were to be made through COM
mittees and otherwise to inter
est the whole people of the East
ern Shore in the matter. That
no official notice has been given
is not only a surprise to us, but
we fear that the result of the
lack of preparation will cause
the meeting to fall far short OF
the object for which it was in
tended. The above is written
by us with no intention surely
of disparaging the meeting, but
because we wanted it to be wor-
thy of our heroes who fell in the
Lost Cause" and so prolific in
results, that we would no longer
delay, for a lack of funds, in
raising a shaft to their memory
worthy of their heroism and the
righteous cause for which they
surrendered their lives to their
country. But if the meeting
cannot be what we hoped it to
be, that will be no excuse for
anyone who is advised in the
matter, to fail to do all in their
power to repair the wrong which
we have done to our dead heroes
by neglecting them any longer
Every Eastern Shoreman who
can, should be present at Parks.
ley on the day designated and
help to make it by all the means
in their power grand success.
What the program of exercises
will be we cannot say, as we
are not advised, BUTT is enough
for all to know, who loved the
Lost Cause" that the object
of the meeting is to perpetuate
the memory of those who fought
for it, and that Col. R. 7. w
Duke, of Charlottesville, will be
present and deliver an Grafton
worthy of the occasion.

A Religious Museum.

President Warren, of Boston Uni
versity, has proposed the foundation
in his city of museum of all reli-
gions. In it would be collected reli-
gious books, examples of the furnish
ings of affairs and shrines, religious
relics, emblems, idols, and other OBJ
jects illustrating the character or
history of the different religions Of
the world. Concerning this move
ment the Congregationlist says:
There are many good people who
are easily shocked, and the PROPOSE
ton has called out the objection that
since Christianity is the only true
religion, it is wrong to seem to put
others upon par with it. But this
attitude is not necessarily involved"

NIoraIlty Of the oueensberr, Rnle..

There is higher justification of
boxing than the mere consideration
Of its utility. l hold that a thorough
course OF training with the gloves is
Ia itself a moral education. Of all
forms of physical exercise this is the
enc best calculated to promote mus.
Gle aud morality at the same time.
1t sharpens up, to a degree that no
other exercise can, all those virile
Qualities which are at the foundation
t all the virtues. Never forget that
Tirility and virue SO hand in hand.
Says John Doyle O'Reilly, There is
character as well as strength in mus
Gle.
To men who have studied boxing
at the'lingside and who have person
ally endured the somewhat rigorous
discipline of getting into condition"
for a friendly but earnest sparring
contest - there are, fortunately,
large and increasing number of such
men III all our American cities, and
that is where they are most needed
it will not seem an exaggeration to
say that the reading of no books in
the English language can possibly
teach certain primary moral lessons
so speedily and so impressively as the
two or three months of severe train
ing required to fit a man for that ex-
perience.
The rules that govern the boxing
ring are in themselves a tolerably
complete moral code. The Marquis
of Queensberry, properly understood,
is entitled to place among the great
precept makers of mankind-to rank
with Lycurgus, Plato. Socrates and
Solomon and the other men whose
minds served as mints for the coin
age of maxims and proverbs that
have passed into the common curren
cy of wisdom and goodness. -Dona

Tostop the leakage of a boat by the
use of sawdust appears at the first
suggestion ridiculous. 1t is a com
mon method, however, employed by
backwoodsmen of the Adirondack
region.
One day a party having considera-
BILE baggage discovered upon loading
it into a scow at the end of one of
the regular carries" that the boat
leaked badly. To delay for repairs
would occasion considerable annoy
ance, and without repairs to proceed
seemed impossible.
At this juncture one of the guides
said: II think can fix it. Just I'M
load the boat again" This was done,
and then the guide brought from a
sawmill near the spot a quantity Of
sawdust. This he sprinkled thickly
upon the water on either side of the
boat
Now" continued he, load up
again" This was done, and when
the weight again sank the boat the
influx of water through the sides and
bottom sucked in the sawdust, which
finally accumulated in the crevices,
swelled under the action Of the water
and actually stopped the leakage. -

General Earlv,s Plan.

The death of Jubal A. Early recalls
not very reverent but nevertheless
laughable story of him. When during
the war Early was in the Shenandoah
valley, he was one Sunday attending a
village church. The minister was in
clined to make the occasion patriotic if
not heroic. Before him were uniforms
that told of fidelity tothe secession cause
and inspired large hopes of its triumph,
so the preacher raised the dead, and with
animation went over the doings of WASH
ington, Sumter, Marion, jackson. Then,
since he must halt somewhere, when he
thought he had stirred his hearers to
high pitch of admiration he said, "Now,
If we had all these honored men among
us today, what would you doY' Jubal
plped out with his high pitched voice,
I'd consclpt every - one Of 'em."
The rest of the service WAS not described

The Coming window.

A simple mechanical contrivance
is being adopted by English builders,
by which window sashes may be
given two movements, the one up,
ward or downward and the other in
ward. Practically only one action
is required to effect the change from
an ordinary sash to a easement
window. By dropping a catch at
one side of the sash the cord is So
cured, the window frame being re
leased from the saah and clipping
into pivot hinges, when it ian be
opened as a easement and keys itself
in so doing. When closing, the sash
again engages with the cord, which
runs in a groove in the pulley slide
and serves as one of the guides to
keep it in its place when working up
and down as a sash in this arrange
ment the beading, which is general
ly usei TO guide and separate tho
sashes, is entirely dispensed with,
the sashes being guided by suitable
tongues working in grooves ON the
right OF hinge side On the left side
the sash, when closed for use as a
lifting window, engages with metal
block attached 10 the end of the
weight cord, which serves TO guide
il on the frame, the sash being also
so arranged that it cannot possibly
come OFF the hinges except when
closed, -PhiladeIphia LEDGER:

The Deadly Cigarette.
