The Village Choir.


Half bar, half bar,
Half a bar onward!
Into an awful ditch
Choir and preeentor hitch,
Into mess of pitch
They led the "Old Hundred.
Trebles to right of them,
Tenors to left of them,
Bases in front of them,
Beloved and Numbered.
Oh, that precentor's look
When the sopranos took
Their own time and hook
From the "Old Hundred"!
Screeched all the trebles here,
Boggled the tenors there,
Raising the parsons hair
While his mind wandered;
Theirs not to reason why
This psalm was pitched too high,
Theirs but to gasp and cry
Out the "Old Hundred.
Trebes to right of them,
Tenors to left of them,
Bases in front of them,
Beloved and Numbered.
Stormed they with shout and yell,
Not wise they sang nor well,
Drowning the sections bell,
While all the church wondered.
Dire the precentor's glare,
Flashed his pitchfork in air,
Sounding fresh keys to bear
Out the "Old IIundred".
Swiftly he turned his back,
Reached he his hat from rack,
Then from the screaming pack
Himself he sundered.
Tenors TO right of him,
Treblcs to left of him,
Discurds behind him,
followed and Numbered.
Oh, the wild bowls they wrought,
Right to the end they fought!
Some tune they sang, but not
Not the "Old Hundred".

Very Particular Soldiers.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Paymaster
General Stanton has turned over to the
President all the papers relating to the
recent unpleasnntness growing out of
the refusal of n Texas regiment to re-
ceive pay from Major Lynch because
he Is colored.
The President has taken no definite
action beyond expressing approval of
General Stanton's course In sending n
sharp dispatch to the commanding pny-
master of that department, stating In
effect that as Major Lynch had been
regularly commissioned by the Fresi-
dent as an army pnymaster. the troops
must take their pay from him or else
go without pay. Thus the matter
stands, with the papers before the
President.
There is the possibility that new
question may arise on the point OF in
subordination in refusing to receive
pay from paymasters regularly COM
missioned to make payments.

Denver. Sept. 21.-Eighty-tivc reln-
tivcs of soldiers and their sympathiz-
ers have organized themselves into n
permanent union for the purpose of
sending the Colorado volunteers some
delicncies securely packed in tin
boxes for a Thanksgiving feast.
There had been Il first meeting. dur
ing which plans were suggested, but
the organization did not become n
fact till last night, when Il meeting
was held ut the First Baptist Church.
Mrs. l.. ]. Ingersol called the meeting
to order and was subsequently made
president of the union. The minutes
of the preceding meeting were read
by a. II. Anderson.
The Soldiers Aid Society has been
sending clothing Mt the expense of the
government, and the committee had
assurances from Quartermaster At
wood that 1t was customary to send
such things free. DIR. Hartung was
appointed n committee of one to fur
ther investigate.
The committee on constitution and
bylaws reported. and each section of
the report was adopted with exception
of the name. After much discussion
the eligibility of regular membership
was limited to the relatives of the
Colorado volunteers and the former
title-the Colorado Volunteer Relief
Society-was changed to the Colorado
Volunteer Relatives Union. Sympa-
thiZers other than relatives may take
active part in all the arrangements,
but can be only honorary members.
1t costs nothing to join, and the dues
are 10 cents each month.
An old sailor was consulted as to
the safest form in which to send the
edibles. His suggestion was finally
adopted. Oblong tin boxes, IL by s
inches. will contain fruit cake, plum
pudding and other delicacies. and will
then be sealed like can of fruit. The
boxes will cost 10 cents each. Not
more than one box will be sent to
each soldier. They must be ready not
later thnn October 18th.
The Glenarm street armory has
been secured from 10 to 12 o'clock the

ton to out-of-town relatives and SYM
pathizers. The details of the union
will there be made known to them.
Meetings will be held weekly before

er. Virginia.

kitchen and examined the food supplies
to the hospital patients. AT the conclu-
sion of his examination he expressed
himself as well satisfied with the ar
rangements made for caring for the

nothing that would improve their condi-
ton or render them more comfortable.
The patients were particularly pleased
ut the visit of the President and Major
Davis said. as the party left the hospi-
tai. that 1t would do more to cheer up
the sick men than any quantity of med
icine.
