Help the band,

The Pleasantville Band boys are de-
serving of much credit for their action
on Memorial Day in volunteering to
escort the g. A. r. Post and Sons of
Veterans. 1t had been hoped the Orders
would turn out on that occasion, and
the Band had been conditionally engaged
to escort them, but the movement was
started too late to be successful. The
band, however, engaged extra players
in anticipation of the event, and Of
course were obliged to pay them. This
leaves them money out of pocket for
their services. The boys are deserving
of support, and should notlose anything
by being public-spirited. We suggest
that those who desire to do so contri-
butte to their Memorial Day expenses
call at the PRESS Office and leave theiI
names with such amounts as they desire
to contribute. and it will be acknow-
lodged and forwarded.

Some of our people had quite lot of
sport some time ago in driving a lot of
tramps out of our village. Mr.. E. c.
Ryon was the marshal while Charles
Creasey acted as captain. They were
joined by Superintendent Mcdonnell as
they advanced north. The tramps be-
coming dissatified with their too hasty
retreat rebelled. An impressive argu-
ment took place followed by a scutfle,
resulting in our boys becoming ratified
and found themselves chasing lot of
women. Whether the tramps changed
their clothing on them so as to represent
women or whether the boys got scared
and turned to the women is a query.
But nobody can learn what became of
the tramps. All we can get out of Ed.
or Charlie is that Mcconnell certainly
must have "hoodooed" them.

The normal tendency is always toward
health and virtue, and to oppose that ten
dency Is indeed to '"kick against the
pricks. Some sort of opposition to IL is
the cause of all suffering both mental and
physical. The intensity OF the suffering
Is in direct proportion to the strength of
the force working towards restoration
and therefore the intensest suffering may
yield most quickly when once the oppo-
sition Is removed and the force allowed
free action. instantaneous cures are rare
and many require months Of treatment,
with instruction, that the patients mind
may be enlisted To work with that of the
healer. Opposition is fatal TO q cure and
absolute unbelief will prevent it until
that unbelief has been in measure

GEN. GRANTS "HAMMERING."
Those Who Criticised This Policy
Were StaY-at- Ho ONES.

General Horace Portcr's Campaigning
with Grant, now running in The Cen
tury, deals with the battle of Cold Harbor
In the March issue General Porter says:
There were critics who were severe in
their condemnation of what Grant called
"hammering' and Sherman called
"pounding;" but they were found princi-
pally among the stay-at- homes and
especially the men who sympathi2ed with
the enemy. A soldier said one night,
when reading by camp fire an account
of call issued by "A disloyal newspaper
at home for public meeting to protest
against the continued bloodshcd i'm this
campaign: "Who's shedding this blood,
anyhow? They better wait till we fellows
down here at the front hollo, 'Enoughy'
The soldiers were as anxious as their
commander to fight the war TO "A finish
and bc allowed to return to their families
and their business.
Grant could have cffectually stopped the
carnage at any time by Withholding from
battle. He could have avoided all blood
she'd by remaining north of the Rapidan,
intrenching, and not moving against his
enemy; but he was not placed in com
Inand of the armies for that purpose IL
had been demonstrated by more than three
years of campaigning that peace could be
secured only by whipping and destroying
the enemy. No one was more desirous of
peace; no one was possessed of heart
more sensitive to every form OF human
suffering than the commander but he
realized that paper bullets are not effective
in warfare; he knew better than to at
tempt to how rocks with razor and no
felt that in campaigning the hardest
blows bring the quickest relief. He was
aware that in Wellington's armies the
annual loss from disease was l13 out of
1000; in our Mexican war, 152; and in
the Crinea, 600; and that i'm the campaigns
thus far in our own war more men had
died from sickness while lying i'm camp
than from shot and shell i'm battle. He
