In Virginia City.

Virginia City, May 4.-The citizens
ball. given Tuesday evening in. the City
Auditorium to the members of company
D.. NJ. n. c., was exceptionally well
attended, the hall being hardly large
enough to hold the crowd, although a
very delightful time was enjoyed by
all participants. A cloud of sadness
hung heavily over the crowd. being, as
IT was, an assemblage to bid arewell
to the brave volunteers who left for the
seat of war Wednesday morning. The
possibility of what might happen to
each and every one of the boys IN blue
present could not be forgotten. and the
usual mirth and merriment present at
an occasion of the kind was absent,
and in its stead an atmosphere OF sor-
row and expressions of sadness n
anxiety rested on the faces of all; but
in spite of this, from oarily evening till
early morn, busy walters whiled
away the hours to beautiful strains or
music given forth by the orchestra. hid
den away by the stars and stripes in
the rear of the spacious hall. Never be-
fore had the beautiful nall been so
tastefully decorated. In every nook
and corner. from floor to ceiling, great
streamers of red, white and blue ount-
ing were flowing. interviewer with the
stars and stripes. and an occasional
Cuban flag. Seemingly, never before
did the chandeliers give forth such
brightness, never before did strains of
music roll forth in such 'resounding
tones as to fire the vaior and patriotic
spirit of every man, woman and hid
in the assembly. Still the entire even
ing was tinted with sorrow and sad
ness. Supper was served by Virginia
Hive. L. o. T. M. in the lodge rooms
above, and at a late hour the home
waltz was played, announcing that the
time had arrived to bid the members

ate farewell. Mayor A. j. Bennett. at

most appropriate opening address or
welcome. in which he spoke most kind

THE QUESTION OF RELIGION.

Now let us take religion. 1t is not
necessary to dwell on the pagan world.
Let us think of the Christian world only.
know it is customary TO think OF the
birth Of the Christian world as II the
Christian came as white flower upon the
b lack soil of paganism. do not think
there is much in our testaments to justify
that, delightful as it is, and much as we
G Christians would like to believe.
When we talk now of the worldliness of
many Christians we seem to overlook the
story of Ananias, and when we hear of
the fall of certain notable figures in the
religious world we forget to consider how
dark the story is of which records have
been found in our books. Then, look at
the history of the church. Is it a history
that we are always proud of?
am not Catholic, but feel the deep
est reverence for the Catholic church; but
surely no good Christian would forbid ME
to say that the history of the popes is not
an enyiable history; that the whole story
of the subsection of the pagan world by
the Catholic church is story disfgured
at many points in very terrible way.
Compare that with the present condition
of the, church, aud surely nothing can be
more obvious than its tremendous pro-
gress toward spirituality During my
time in Rome, casting my mind back on
the experiences of better men VINO mad

vastly more intimate knowledge 1T was
constantly suggesting itself to me that
