The members of the Thirteenth reg

The following was received last night

Camp Mackenzie:
Camp Mackenzie, Augusta. Ca, Feb. /.
A message was received in camp tonight
from Baltimore, Md, to the effect that
the First Maryland Is to be mustered out

HAVE NOT HEARD YET.
This dispatch shows that official no.
tiflcation of the mastering out had not
been received in camp up to the hour
of filing the telegram late last night.
The following Associated Press dis
patch from Washington, D. c.. shows
that the good news is true:
Washington, Feb. 1.-The war depart
ment today issued an order to muster
out about fifteen thousand volunteer
troops. The regiments are:
First Maryland, now at Augusta. Ga.
Third Mississippi and Second Missouri
at Albany Ga.
Eighth and Thirteenth Pennsylvania, at
Augusta, Ga.
Fourteenth Pennsylvania, at Somer-
willie, s. c.
Fourth Texas, at San Antonio, Tex.
Fourth Wisconsin, at Anniston. Ala.
Seventh Volunteer infantry, at Macon,
Ga.
Eighth Volunteer infantry, at Chicka-
mauga.
Tenth Volunteer infantry, at Macon,
Ga.
The Thirteenth will be given royal
reception when it returns to the city.
1t has been gone since April p last,
and during that period many changes
have taken place in the makeup of the
regiment.
1t has the distinction of being one
of the best regiments al Camp Mac
Kenzie, and the sOldierly conduct OF
the men has been favorably comment
ed upon by every general officer who
has had them in his command.
THE RECEPTION.
AS soon as it is definitely ascertalncd
when the regiment will return prepar-
ations will be set ON foot for giving
them a reception.
1t is probable the Soldiers Relief
association will take the initial steps
in arranging Il suitable reception.

wanna and Jefferson avenues.
Reaching this point yesterday morn
ing, he boarded an unattached Caboose
which was being run into the yard. He
stood on the front platform and did
not notice an empty engine which was
closely following the caboose. Just be-
yond where Washington avenue goes
under the tracks, the engine bumped
into the caboose. Morris was thrown
headlong to the ground. and the caboose
passed over both his legs. His cloth
ing was caught in such n manner as to
drag him some distance before the
caboose could be brought to a stop.
The injured man was Immediately re-
moved to the Moses Taylor hospital,
where ii was found necessary to am
putate the right foot just above the
ankle joint. Later, the left leg, which
was also badly mangled, was ampu-
tated just below the knee. He was also
bruised and cut about the body and
head.

shocks of accident and amputations,

Its employees, was rendered last night
in the case of James Sullivan, who died
from the effects of scalding he re-
ceived on Jan. "a, at the washery OF

The verdict duplicates the company
and was as follows:
We find that the said James Sullivan
met death through negligence of the
Bowen Coal company: First, by not hav-
ing the necessary connections adjusted
to the safety valve whereby steam could,
properly and without endangering life,
escape, and that the said James Suli-
van would not have met with accident
had such adjustment been provided; Sec
ondly, that the proper means to convey
the said James Sullivan to his home was
not provided. namely, a stretcher and
the necessary blankets to prevent ex'
posure.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARIES.

1t you are too lively and wish to
check your exuOerance of spirits, it is
only necessary to step into one OF our
common Sunday School Libraries, Dor.
row a book, and read for half an hour.
IT you are not sick with melancholy
then it is because you have no capac
ity for melancholy. In that book you
will very likely find an account OF the
way in which poor little Johnnie died
OF excessive goodness, and dear little
Mary OF the same disease. To these
children every day was Sunday.
They never knocked each other down,
never ~plundered their mothers cup
board in her absence, never sharpened
their slate pencils with their fathers
raz Or-never, in short, did anything
but kiss each other and preach SER
nom to their companions.
They are just such children as have
never lived, and they do not interest
US. Not the goodness that whimpers
and whines in it's weakness, but the

and throb of conviction, and which,
Though covered DER with dust and
sweat" still struggles against evil, is
what we admire. The characters that
commonly figure in the books of the
Sunday School library are enough to
choke down all virtuous aspiration in
the children who read them; they rep
resent goodness and weak m~indedness
as being Identical
Purltanism is dying. Peace to its
bonesI Let us nourish children
with the vine Of life. Put John Hall

ion, and the like, in the library, and
breed a race OF healthy minded men
who can fight the forces Of evil with
intelligence and strength. II the rep
resentative of Christianity is weaker
than his opponents, his cause must
suffer and be despised by many who
would otherwise have espoused it. The

Puck, told her class that there are only

he declares, as the Transcript quotes
him, that the young woman who mar.
ries for money or position is sacrificing
the best of life which marriage affords.
The chief conditions of a happy mar
riage, as he finds them, are health,
common intellectual interests, and a
religious belief held in common be
tween husband and wife. No doubt
he enlarged upon these conditions, and
qualified the idea of the ~superIative
Importance of the latter two by taking
large views of them. We often see,
for example, people very happily mar,
rled whose minds are so differently
constituted that it seems impossible
that they should have more than q
limited number of intellectual interests
In common. But there are different
kinds of good minds, and minds that
supplement another seem quite as
