SOLDIER BOYS AND MOTHERS.

Until a threatening contingency like
the present arises, the mothers Of lads
who belong to the National Guard seem
u esteem the service harmless diver
sion for their boys, but when the time
for actual service arrives they are much
exercised for fear that their youngsters
VIII be compelled to go to the front and
face the fire OF the enemy Many of
them cannot be brought to realize that
the authority of the officers of the Ma
ti0nal Guard is paramount to that pa
rental authority which they have al
ways exercised, and this occasions ra-
ther funny situations.
During the election troubles at the
Court House 1t will be remembered
that the National Guard was summon
Ell to the Armory to be used in case the
disturbance should assume such serious
proportions as to set at defiance the
civil authorities.
That evening the mother or one OF
/ the boys called at the Armory and en-
| dcavOred to obtain admittance saying
/ that she wished to see her son. The
sentry at the door informed her that 1t
was out of the question for her to come
| in but that If she would walk around
to the side window she might converse
with him there
When her boy arrived at the window
she said:
II want you to come home right
away. If you don't, I'll skin you alive.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself to
put Tie to the trouble of coming away
down here to get you"
| The boy endeavored to explain TO her
/ that he was a member Of the National
Guard and subject to orders, but she
| oclared that, orders or no orders, he
must come home and carry up the coal,
or she would subject him to unmerci-
/ ful castigatiOn How he made out when
| he finally went home next day the Way
| farer has never heard. but he does
know that when he turned from the
window after his mother departed there
| were tears in his eyes and his face
| wore a most distressed look.
Since the present trouble began there
has been evidence of anxiety on the
part Of the mothers Of several members
of the Wilmington companies. One of
them has made several visits to the
captain Of her sons company and in
sisted upon the immediate discharge Of
her boy from the service. declaring that
be- has never been strong and that he
could not possibly sleep out in tent
hen he has been used TO n comfortable
home and the best of comfort. 1t is
needless to add that the only effect Of
her pleas has been to make her boy the
laughing stock Of his comrades.
Many of the Delaware Guardsmen
are exceedingly anxious to be called
into active service. and there are evil
donces of cOwardice on the part Of but
: few Of them. Some feel apprehensive
J but that is q feeling which even the
best Of soldiers do not deny until they
] set into the fight and thoroughly
7 warmed up to the struggle for suprem-
acy.

When the train bearing the Ninth

Of one of the windows and fell at the

An INTELLIGENT HORSE.

While walking along one Of the West
Side streets yesterday the Wayfarer
was particularly struck with the intel
ligence displayed by a beautiful gray
horse attached to a laundry wagon. 1t
would follow it's driver from door to
door while he was engaged in collect
ing the laundry and manifested the
keenest interest in everything which
he did. Everything about the animal
indicated unusual intelligence, sharp
ened by kind treatment.

BOY HAZARDED A BEL.

When Battery f, Light Artillery, U,
s. A., passed through this city on We'd
nesday afternoon on its way to Chick
amauga Park, the Wayfarer was at
the p, w. & 3. railroad station to see
the boys who were going from New
port, r. l., to the front.
The train came to a stop at the train
shed and crowds soon surrounded it. AT
one of the car windows sat braWny
aftilleryman and on the window sill be-
side him was a two-pound can of baked
beans.
Two urchins eyed him and the can
inquisitively, and one Of them said to
the other:
BILLY, I'll bet he's from Boston!"
The crowd laughed, and the artil-
leryman smiled goOd-naturedly and
said.
My boy. you're mistaken. That's
part of our rations."

he would turn around to see what had
become of them. But he never looked
back, and they entered the house.
No doubt he ate supper with greater
relish as he meditated over the fact
that his looks had been appreciated,
while to them it was the chief enjoy
ment Of the day, no matter what the
public might think of It.

AN UNUSUAL TERMINATION.

~ ~ rNH'e ~ '-----'- "a - -''
Two Wilmingtonians of prominence
boarded a train bound for Philadel-
phia, entered the smoking car and took
2 seat behind a man who was smoking
a pipe and reading a newspaper. Dur
ing the progress Of the ride, so the
Wayfarer is told, they noticed that the
volume of smoke in front of them was
rather more dense and pungent that it
should be. Suddenly the smoker gave
start and a jump and it was discov-
cred that the celluliOd stem Of his pipe
had caught fire and was burning as
rapidly as such substance could p0ssi-
bly, do. One Of the Wilmingtonians
told the Wayfarer that he never saw
an enjoyable smoke brought to such a
sudden, odorous and unusual termina-
ton.

WAR AND APPREHENsION.


William Robinson, Of Eighth and

ping soldier, but he has no desire to
volunteer or to be drafted. At the
present time he is fearful that he will
be called upon at any time to serve his
country. This is due to what he re-
CARDS as an untoward incident which
occurred three or four days ago A
dapper young man visited his little
store, and, in a brisk and business
like manner asked
What is your name, please? AS he
spoke he pulled out paper and pencil

sponse.

The age was given.

itor.

All right. Good day" said the
young fellow, and he left as briskly as
he had come before Mr. Robinson could
ascertain the purposes Of his business
like inquisition.

r Morrison, president Of the COM
pany. When he next visited the yards
he accosted Mr.. Robinson with the re-
mark:
Bill, it looks like WARP"
Yes, sir"
They're recruiting already in town,
continued Mr.. Morrison. Men are
making a house-to-hOuse canvass foI

not feeling the least reassured by the

Yes" said Mr. Morrison. "A young
fellow came to my place. He took my
name, age and whether or not l was
married. l suppose they are doing th'
same thing all over town"
What Mr.. Robinson replied to thil
the Wayfarer does not know, but Mr.
