The Citizen Soldiery.

"The national guard of Birmingham makes fine appearance" said J. H. Walton of St. Louis, an ex-guardsman, who stood in the crowd watching the sol diers on dress parade last night. Few towns have a body of citizens soldiery better drilled or more soldiery looking.
 q am glad that the national govern- ment takes the interest 1t does in the militia. Some people may think that as the volunteers are drawn into closer rela- tions with the regular army we are tend ing to miltarism, after the manner of Germany and other European nations. But when viewed in the right light this nationalizing and disciplining of the mili- tia is an excellent thing, both for the young men who fill the ranks and the community from which they are recruit ed. Strict military discipline teaches men restraint that stands them in good stead in after life. The drill is physically help full and the atmosphere of the guard tones up fellow and makes him all the more manly. Employers often object 10 young men in their service enlisting in a military company but they should take a broad and patriotic view of the matter. The citizen soldier should always be en- couraged.'

A COED AT 75,

From the Chicago Record-He
 Miss Sarah P Morrison, 75 years of age, is starting in to attend college at Bloomington, Ind. Miss Morrison gradu- ated with the '69 class, but when she re- turned to the university recently to attend the commencement exercises she became convinced that another term would be q good thing for her and she accordingly made plans to spend the summer in Bloomington and take up few courses ct study.
 It may be supposed that the lady will give the faculty little trouble out of the class room It is not probable that she will contract the habit of letting herself down, by tying sheets together, from a high window, and there is no Likelihood that she will have to be reprimanded for remaining out with young men after the regular hour for retiring. We shall be disappointed if she does not prove to ba q model student.
 There is, however, curious fact con nected with her case. It Is announced that it is her purpose, while she is in col ,ege this year, to investigate the laws Of versif1cation.' Why is it necessary fol anyone who lives in Indiana to go to col lege for the purpose of securing informa. ton concerning the laws of versification' Are not all hoosiers, male and female born poets?
