ALBANY, JUNE 13.—More than 3,000 @roops of the National Guard of the tate of New York are under arms and fm the field to-day, beginning a tour of duty under conditions more nearly sim- lar to those of actual service than ever Before in this State in time of peace. This is true in particular of the Third Brigade, for instead of settling down in comparative comfort upon the State eamp ground, with streets already lo- @ated, ample and convenient bulldings e@waiting their use and all conditions known and prepared for in advance, ét hes, with Cavalry Troop B, proceeded 2,600 strong into the open, in field ser- vice uniforms, to an unknown ground, where it has created its encampment under conditions as nearly as possible Uke those which would obtain in any enemy's country.

Arm Bent by Heat, It wes that arm that clung to the only child survivor of the fury of Mar- tinique's mountain of hell, clung to Rita for hours, protecting her as best she could from the rain of burning ash. The heat bent the arm into a bodk— shaped it as you would bend @ plece of oak. The black woman then put her bady between the child and the shower of lava and flame. Never for an instant did she filnch; never for an instant did she forget the child, who had been committed to her cary by the dying mother early in the morning. Strong men were crying aloud around her; men of the sea, inured to i| hardship, knelt on the burning deck and prayed for death, They threw up their arms to meet it as {t fell upon them from th: heavens or ieaped into the water in their agony and to a doom as sure and horrible, for the sea sttamed and holled against the sides of the Ror- aima like a pottage in a furies' caldron. volver being under his pillow, where he always kept it.
