To those who have | | watched Tae Srar’s congressional reports this | statement will not be newa, but the majority of members of the brigade care little about Con- | Gross aud its doings, and to these the blant | Statement will be something of a shock. It | will be hard to disassociate, even temporarily, | the amalgamated ideas of summer time and | six days of military life on the beautiful reser- vation near Mount Vernon, and yet it seems quite clear already that the brigade will gain much more of material knowledge during the | warm months to come than it could possibly have aggregated in the most successful kind of | |Qcamp. The continued opposition of a few | Senators and Representatives-—who do not be- | lieve in militia for very good reasonh—reenlted ina slight decrease of the annual approprin- tion and one of the results of this niggnrdli- | Bess is the chopp off of the camp. In spite | of the fact that he wonld have gone to Washington for a week, if he had had the wherewithal, Gen. Ordwas is firmly of opinion | that this season can be made so much more at- | tractive than any of its predecessors that the | boys will have nothing to regret. THE WHITE LOT TO RE UTILIZED. Ample provision was made in the bill for | drills. parades and rifle practice, and when the general announces his program there will be a | Sood deal of appianse. ‘The cleverest com- manding officer and the most willing brigade could not possibly get more than three days’ | instruction out of such a camp as the District | troops have had for two years past; this there will be twice as much instruction wi grent deal less of inconvenience and only a | tithe of the expense. It would not be surpris- | ing if, when this program appears, it was found to contain a premonition of at least four bri- gade drills in the White Lot. ‘There would take place in the afternoon, and when field manou- Vers were concluded each occasion would wind up with that popular and crowd-gathering cere- mony, a brigude dress parade. Thne it would be possible to secure results which would ocenpy four full days in camp. Riot drills would also occupy several of the fine summer evenings without entailing any hardship on men whose employment is of such a nature that they must lose actual cash if they turn out during the earlier portion of the day. Pro- ceedings such as have been referred to will capture the popular heart, too: and the popular heart has some rights in the case. ‘The militia are of the people and as militia by the people and the tax-payer is entitled to the largest possible revnrn for his investment. RIFLE PRACTICE. In the matter of rifle practice the focalized suggestions have a most tempting appearance. ‘There will be electric targets at each of the Fort Washington ranges and on them will the brigade be required to print the record scores. Each battalion will be assigned a certain day for practice. Lunches will be stored away in haversacks and the battalion will march to the river front and voyage from thence to Fort Washington ona steamboat. Upon arrival at the fort one company would commence work at the 200 and 200 yard ranges, while the other companies would proceed to exercise them- selyes with company skirmish drill. As soon as the first company finished at the short ranges it would be sent back to 500 and 600 yards and its place at the first firing place be taken by one of — the commands that had been amusing itself by prancing over the parade ground and its vicin- age. When all the companies had concluded target work the major could tuke them out and do some battalion skirmish drill before the boat came to carry them home again. These days at the fort would be pleasant affairs in which much could be done, because there would be no burdensome camp equipage; every man would be his own quartermaster and conimissary. AN ATTACK OX FoRT sLocUM. But because the exchequer will not permit of brigade encampment do not imagine that camping will become one of the lost arts. Sev- eral commands have already made fair progress toward preparing for a brief season in the tented field. The only ones that have anything like finished schemes are the light battery, the engineer corps and troop A. ‘the battery pro- to secure possession of Fort Slocum, an old earthwork north of the Soldiers’ Home.” In this the artillerymen are to be aided by the engineers. Lieut. Gilbert Thompson has prom- ised to reconstruct the fort on the original | plan, and when this has been done the gunners will come within the angles tor the space of | three daysand an equal number of nights. Now comes the fun. At midnight of that last day it is proposed to have the first regiment | assemble at the first battalion armory and from | thence march as near to Fort Slocum as may be necessary; then when gray dawn | commences to tear the gloomy curtains of day- spring the gallant first will do its level best to jcapture that fort and all that in itis ‘The meek and lowly foilowers of Lieut. Robbins might just as well select the route for retreat noW as atany other time; that will be their onl: hope. Capt. Barbour wants to be on hand wit | his blue and yellow combinatior of warriors. | The captain has not figured out whieh side will most probably win and until he has done that | no one can find out where the troopers will be when the fight opens up. PRACTICE MARCHES. | Itmay be, though, that when cannon are | booming from Fort Slocum Capt. Barbour and | his merry men will be far, faraway. ‘They are discussing the subject of practice marches now, and unless something tnlooked for puts in an | appearance the troop will be off inio Virginia | or Maryland for two or three weeks in the | month of July. ‘This sort of an experience will | be valnable training, and when the members of | the troop return if will not be safe for any of | their neighbors to invest much imoney in chickens unless the owners propose to lock each and every fowl in a burglar-proof safe be- | fore nightfall. ADVANTAGE IN AN INDEPENDENT CAMP. | Avery material advantage, not to be lost | sight of by companies that talk of going into ' independent camp, is the power conferred by Jaw as to subsistence and forage. ‘These requisites crn be drawa by the general from the War Department, and this practieal en- ouragement will climinate the most expensive item from estimates of cost. It would be a thing for some of the boys to live on rations for a while. n. Ordway says but little as to the enti off of the camp, but he evideutly fecis th gnard will not lose anything by congrensional He said last night that fe would rather go into camp onee in two ye. | tem to fifteen days than to have nn | day camp. “y tion expenses are just the ‘same in both in- | stances.

If the secofid regiment does not hav time on Thursday night something unlooked for must happen. ‘The battalions will assemble in the drill hall and form a hc#ow square. Then Col. Clay will make a speech and present to the sixth battalion the trophy it won in the rifle match last Wednesday night. Company A, fourth battalion, will also be given tem- Porary possession -of the gorgeous crimson ner which it won for the highest average work in the gallery. THE FIRST REGIMENT CHALLENGED. The first regiment haa been challenged. So successful has the second been in ite rifle prac- tice that it has somehow or other gathered unto itself the idea that it can ontshoot any oth regimental organization in the region round- shout. "A challenge has been sent by Col. Clay to Col. Moore and it calls fora match in the gallery on April 8. Each regiment is to be rep- resented by eight enlisted men and each man will shoot ten shots at 200 yards. This proposi- tion will stimulate practice and there ought to be some very fine marksmanship when the match comes off. THE ENGINEERS’ SCORE. The following wcores were made by the first platoon, engineer corps, commanded by Lieut. Graham, in the months of January and Febru- ary, 1891: qualified 300 yds. Percent. 8 we 200 yds. El exoweazees’ 3 Average percentage. .... This gives an average centage over the four ranges, of all men fring, of 63.6, which is Pretty good evidence of the success of the first platoon as an organization of sharpshooters. This list contains the name of every man of the pistoon firing at the above ranger and not only those making good scores. CAPT. WEBER'S ORDER. The following order has been issued by Capt. H.W. Weber of company D, third battalion: There will be a course of four lectures for the benefit and instruction of the members of this company in the company room, Globe Build- ing Armory, as follows: Lecture No. 1—“‘Military Discipline,” March 10; by Lieut. O. L. Suess. “Lecture No. 2—“Du- ties of National Guardsmen,” March 24; by oan H. W. Weber. Lecture No. 3—“‘Articles of Warch,” April 14; by Lieut. J. A. Bresna- han. Leeture No. 4—“Guards,” April 28; by Lieut. O. L. Suess. At the conclusion of the lecture any pertinent question relative to the subject in hand will be allowed. it is earnestly hoped that every member of the company will avail himself of this oppor- tunity to learn more fully the duties of a National Guardsman. NOTES. Col. Carpenter's lecture on guards, outposts and reconnoissances delivered last Monday night was one of the most interesting ‘of the series.

At about the second screech everybody was awake and such expressions as these were fang about that car with great recklessness: “Where's that idiot? “Somebody kill him ! “What on earth does this mean?” “Say, porter, brain that lunatic!” The music was stopped and the man’s feel- ings were deeply wounded. When the row quieted down so that bis voice could be heard he said: “Lam awfully sorry about it, but I assure é that I only had the good of others at heart. couldn't get to sleep, and thinking the rest of you might be rolling about, and wondering when we were going to run off into the woods or drop throngh a bridge, I thongbt I'd soothe youto slumber. This is the thanks I get for it! Not another blamed soothe if you lie awake | all night! I could realize his position and clearly dis- cover his motive, and it made me real sorry when @ Chicago gravel roofer in the berth o posite shook his fist across the aiste and said he could, would and should lick any man on earth who broke in on him when he was dreaming of signing a contract to gravel roof all the world’s fair buildings. A lot of us were seated on the stone parapet | j at the brink of Niagara Falls, at the extreme |end of Prospect Park. ‘There had been such | expressions as “mad rush of wat racing | to death, trash to and “the mighty power of nature, ybody had re- | lapsed into sileuce and was probably wonderi | how miles an hour he could peddle a and barge against such a current, when the man who had our interests at heart arrived.

Don't go away carrying with you false idea of this great and stupendous work of nature. It's all wool and straight asa spotted cow.” His speech seemed to hurt most of the peo- ple. Instead of waiting to inquire into his mo- tive, they got mad, and a fat man from Harris burg beckoned hiin aside, shook his fist under his nose, and gasped: ‘Say,’ you infernal lunkhead, T can knock your eyebrows off in about four seconds!” “You can? Is it possible? But what have I done? I ain't the feller whet called you ‘Darn your buttons, bat what did you come here and break in on my meditations for?” “For your own good. I didn't want you to go away thinking this was some illusion got up to beat people out of their money. That water there is just as real as the water in your well to home. know it. I've scooped some of it up imacap. Come right down Lere and I'l prove ” Theard that fat man growling and blowing and telling what he would do, and I know that good-hearted man went away from us vowing that he would never put himself out for his fellow beings again. I followed after him to thank him and to let him know that I appre- Ciated his sacrifice, but I could not overtake You get splendid view of the sea from the board walk at Manhattan Beach, Coney Island. Six of us sat on one of the benches there one day and we were very quiet. You can do « great deal of thinking down by the tea, if you are so inclined. You can begin at the hotel on the beach, with its charges of 25 per day (no dogs allowed), and gradually work out past the clams in the ‘sand, the surf, the white-maned waves, the sbips sailing up and down—going to Europe—sailing over the bones of dead men, &c. We were busy with these thoughts when came a Long Island farmer who had been delivering vegetables at the hotel kitchen. He wanted us togo home and tell a straight story, and so he saluted us ina pleasant way and re- marked: “Some folks git the different oceans all tan- gled up together, and can't tell which from tother. This is the Atlantic ocean. Better iromen” it | Star otten write it down on a slip of paper, a0 you won't forgit it.” ‘The six of us bowed. “It's bin here ever since I can remember and allus looks the same.” Six more bows. . “The water is salt. Lots of fellers won't be- lieve it when fust told, but they find out by .” Bix more bows. “It's more'n a thousand miles to t'other shore and there are hills at the botiom of the ocean over fiftyfeethigh. It'sa beautiful aight to see them waves rolling in. Any one of ‘em would upset a wachtub quickern wink. I used to think the foam on top was cotton bat ting or wool, but it ain't. It comes from a sort of saieratus on the bed of the ocean. A good many ships have gone down beneath the dark blue waves, and T allus use ocean water to seald my hogs in if I have time to cartit. It starts the bristles quicker.” Six cold, stony stares, but no bows. “Needn't be afraid that the ocean will ever ary up,” said the man ina halting way, evi- dently nonplussed by our silence. ‘No one answered. “There's a tide twice in twenty-four hours. The object of it is to carry dead cats off the shore. Better write that down afore you forgit ‘No answer. “Wall, all right. Some folks don’t seem to want to learn anything. If they don't, they needn't. I've done my duty, and if folks don't appreciate it, they can go to Halifax!” met just ‘another such man at Luray, Va. He was from Rhode Isiand.
