A friend of the soldier sends TIL
DAILY REPUBLICAN the following
timely communication:
1t is strange that there seems to
be no one in the church circles of
the city who is in any way interest
ed in themoral OF spiritual welfare
of the Z. S. artillerymen, stationed
| at Forts Delaware and DUPONT. A
large percentage Of these men are
almost daily visitors to Wilmington,
andIit seems as though some action
should be taken looking toward
their welfare while in ouh midst.
These men, though looked upon
by a great many people as being
of some kind of an inferior grade of
/ humanity, are, as a class, lntelli-
gent, ambitious, hon orable, and
manly young fellows.
However, the dreary moaotonv Of
garrison life. (which Is not under

drives the energetic Young regular
to all kinds OF places for som.
amusement from the cease ess
routIne Of setting up exercises,
guard mount. drill, parade, and
bunk. His uniform, which IS not a
badge of crime, Wy any means, seems
to deUar him from entrance to the
homes Of the people IN general.
