THE SOUTH AND WAR.
In speaking of the probable position
?>f the South in the event of host?ll?tlies
between the Uinliitwd 'States and Sptilin
t'he ?ost.Vm.-d Washinigtotn Post says:
"Wlhille ifhe're is in? portion of our peo?
ple who aire more desirous of the con
Itiiniuaniee of peace than the southern
contingent, it is equally true that none
S!s more ready to respond Ito a. call to
arms if peace and honor cannot be kept
together. And the south, the people of
the southern Atlantic and gwif stlaitee;
(have had severer lessons In the hbnrore
and tiie losses incident to won- than
their fellow citizens of other sections.
They know off u verity that Yivsur is
heUil." "
The South httt* 'had costly experienioe
In aiH the great wars that heve uaikein
place since colonial days, and the re&ld
iness with which its loyal sons stand
Wo repel the a-ggresslionis of ahy ffoe .Uhutt
assails the honor and lii'legnity off the
grieat American Republic, is simply in
Jvcep.intg with 'the exalmp'le seit by the
giltmiotis sires ?f t'he Southrons wlw are
mow upon tiie snage of action. No sen?
sible Southerner wants war simply for
Itlhe s?he off lighting, but with their o'ld
Itliime airldor asvd' elu'vallry they stand
ready to fight fur their country ?hould
the nt-cei-sity arise.
rrbe following paiugrapb from the
'Montreal 'Hemid shows what a strong
hold the merit system has upon' our
Crfenda across the Canadian border:
"The spoils system trust be avoided at
all hiazards. It has been the cunse of
untold' injury t.< til,- public service and
to the private as well as to the public
morals of the people of the United
All the military authorities ofEuorpe
are now paying great attention to sing?
ing on the march. The French array
has of late permitted its soldiers to
sing while marching. A little book or
soldiers' marching songs was publish?
ed In London, with Gen. Wolseley's
words printed big on the cover to the
effect that men march better and ar?
rive fresher when they sing than when
they don't. Curiously enough, most of
these songs are American, '.voids and
all. _
Kind of 1'lfM' (o Smoke.
A soft clay pipe is the best. It gives
a coo! smoke, and the nicotine is easily
and generally absorbed. lirlar pipes
and meerschaums are satisfactory for
a while, but get clogged with tobacco
oils in the bowl and become bitter. A
hooked pipe?one with a curved stem?
is the best shape. Ebonite stems spoil
, the flavor of good tobacco. Nothing is
better than real amber or bone. Cellu?
loid is dangerous.
One thousand t ins of soot settle
monthly within the 118 square miles of
London.
