IHB EDGE PICATINNI HAQiZINES rCORKESrOKDIKCB OT TUB DISrATCH.1 Doveb, N. J., June 20. Everybody knows of the sad and olten ludicrous straits to which the government of tb late Confed eracy was pnt to provide the necessary gnn towder for carrying on the "War of the Re bellion. A very few outside of official circles ever recognized the sore tax upon our National Government in the same all-essential provision. Fewer still ever give thought to what could be depended upon in this respect should some sudaen outbreak of a great and prolonged torcign war in an in stant set us face to face with a test of onr best national resources for defense or ag gression. Because conditions might at any time arise making the carrying on of a foreign war impossible from the lack ot the one necessary article of gunpowder, the propor tion of its ingredients in United States military use 76. of niter, 14. of charcoal and 10. ot sulphur, so simple a fact that the ordinary reader smiles wisely at its repeti tion takes on, reflectively, crave and serious importance. "We could never fall short of charcoal. There are inexhaustible sulphur mines within our own boundaries, and though one ot the most important ele ments of matter, Eulphur must ever remain one of the cheapest and most available. But while all are accustomed to boast of our limitless natural resources, niter or saltpeter, so far as has been discovered, is not one of them. To be able to fight, we must have powder. To have powder, we must have niter to the extent of 76 per cent of its bulk. "We must therefore have niter or turn Quaker and refuse to fight, "When the matter is presented just this way, and just as it is, every citizen of the United States must become seriously interested; and it is gratifying to feel that the military authori ties have for some time fully realized the situation as it exists and have quietly and effectively instituted measures of provision against a" future fatal weakness in time of war. PRAISE FBOM SIB HUBERT. My attention was recently directed to the subject by the remarks of a Frencn mili tary attache in Algiers, who said: "Your Government is at lost becoming wise and prudent in proper measures of protection against future dangerous exigencies. The very ascendancy and greatness of your coun try, with its certain reflexive influence against monarchial institutions, renders it a shining mark for attempted conquest bv im perial powers which see in republican greatness their own most fatal weakness. "It is no uncommon confidential discus sion in European military circles that American pride might bear humbling. The entire monarchial svstem aud the preserva tion of titled and military official interests are in direct and deadly antagonism to all American progress. England has old scores to settle tilth yout Germany hates you for depleting her population. Spain is livid with rage over the loss of all her American dependencies, save Cuba, and the constant menace of possible annexation ot that island by your country. And the Russian Czar fairly writhes at the universal pnblic indignation in the United States over his devilish treat- Ktntjpf exiles in Siberia. The tremendous increase of nava' and other armament by these powers may mean prolonged European war. It might me.in a combined attempt by European powers, on the slightest pretext of American oflense, to simultaneously destroy every city upon the Atlantic and Pacific 'coast. "Aside from this possible danger, there is, and combined with it, a danger nearer home. The South American republics, whose progress and material increase have for the past quarter century been almost as phe nomenal as your own, are plainly restive un der 2torth American diplomatic dominance. This was made clear in countless ways dur ing the Pan-American Congress. EUROPEAN PESSIMISM. "The development of these countries has been largely due to English,, Dutch, Ger man and Spanish capital. European state craft has directed this. It has also culti vated powerful animosities against the United States. Once let the latter make a downright quarrel over the 'Monroe doc trine, attempt the annexation of Canada or Cuba, or in any manner become offensively involved in South American complications, and, many European military authorities believe and secretly prophesy every Amer ican port would, in IS days, be as effectively closed as though hermatically sealed!" Now this is rank European pessimism, -though the apparent honest conviction of a aUitarut in the service of a friendly power. BMadmitting that along this line of possi- 1i r there is something worthy of refieo- indeed, supposing that, relying upon disgraceful condition of our coast jses, and the ridiculous cipher our vy" represents in international infiu- ce, combined foreign enemies should (orce ,ostthis sort of a dilemma. Onr ports in the possession ol invaders, our very integral cohesiveness endangered, and all recourse to the remainder of the world destroyed, how far would our characteristic national vanity, boasting and assertireness go toward mending the fatal folly of supine Bess concerning sensible preparation against such annihilative calamity? We have patriotism, oceans ot it. We hare men, millions of them. We have foundries, iron, steel, cannon, small arms; commissaries and 'transportation. Certainly, numberless and incalculable. But all this would not avail if we had no powder, or niter for making powder; and considerations pretty close to those hinted at above have led our military authorities through our Ordnance (Depart ment, to adopt a policy of gradual storage of both powder and niter on so vast a scale, Be will, in itself, carry at all times an excel lently rounded and most potent argnment 'against any foreign attempt at invasion. SODECE OF THE SITES SUPPLY. Previous to the discovery of the vast niter .beds in Peru, our chief source of supply was in Germany, where the substance was extensively manufactured from various forms of decomposing organic matter, from offal and urine, and also in an indifferent degree, through the lixiviation of filtering of certain soils. Such earth is fonnd to some extent in limestone cares in this country, notablv in Mammoth Cave, Ky., and Big Uone Cave, in Tennessee. Bnt this indiffer ent supply, which at times has forced the value of powder to outrageous prices, has been totally lost sight of since the South American nitrate beds were discovered, and the era of "nitrate kings," one of whom is now building a wonderful palace in En gland, began. Several hundred square miles of pure mineral saltpeter exist, and have for a few years been mined, in the province orTarapaca, in Peru. The stuff is actually shoveled out precisely as a car is Joaded with grading material from the bank of a railway gravel pit It is estimated that these beds contain a sufficient supply of niter for the use of the entire world tor a period of upward of 4,000 years! That is why all grades of gunpowder are purchasable so cheaply to-day, and never cau again become expensive, unless foreign complications should result in closlngour ports. Onr Government is simply provi dently taking advantage of favorablecondi tions to secure and store such quantities as will render ns independent of any exigency possible lor human care to forestall. Nine million pounds have already been purchased at nnces ranzin? from 13 to 8 cents per - bo Had; and sach ye&xhersaftw other millions of pounds will be added to the tremendous quantity already iu band. Iu the latter part of the seventies the wis dom of provision for some such great powder and niter reserve became so patent to the au thorities at Washington, that it was decided one should be established at or near the Atlantic seaboard. THE PICATINNY VAIXEY. A. site, 700 feet above the sea level, was at last selected in the elevated Picatiuny Val ley lying in the Appalachian Mountain chain in Northeastern New Jersey. Here a splendid tract of 1900 acres was purchased, and in 1880 the New Jersey Legislature sanctioned the sale of the land to the Gov ernment. The tract is about 40 miles from New York City, and lies four miles north of the lovely little city of Dover, which nestles between the most beautiful of North Jersey hills. The Kittatinny or Blue Mountain range, called the Shawangunk in New Yoik State, looms along Northern. New Jerser, crossing the Delaware at Del aware Water Gap. The Highland range of lesser hills, a spur ol which terminates in the noted Palisades of the Hudson, hugs this closely on the east, forming a number of stream-threaded, picturesque valleys. Trie almost precipitous red conglomerate escarpment ot one of the broken spurs of this Hiehland Bange, Picatinnv Peak, lorms the western wall of Picatinnv Valley, hiding to the west that dream of valleys, beantiful, ever winsome Berkshire. Cop peras Mountain and Hickory Hill, two huge granite tnoos, snot in jricaunoy val ley on the east. Lake Hoptacong, a fisher's paradise, gleams along the southern pointot the valley. Green Pond (lake), 1,000 feet above the sea, shimmers in its upland reaches; and Middle Forge Pond, a lake of no mean dimensions, teeming with bass and pickerel, covered with lily pads and bor dered with verdure and blossoms, sets like a gleaming sapphire in the center of the tract itself. Ten years ago the Picatinny Valley was an almost unbroken wilderness. A sin gle wagon road, older than the independence of our country, skirted it at the foot of the mountains on the east. PICTURESQUE AND BEAUTIFUL. Half way from Dover to the present gigantic powder house now known as the U. S. Picatinny Powder Depot, on another old colonial road, is the little namlet of Spicer town. Prom this point the Government has constructed, and maintains, a splendid road two miles in length. This threads along a gentle depression of the bases of Copperas Mountain and Hickory Hill, so that the grounds are almost hidden from view, until, in ascending a trifling grade, the entrance is immediately before you; and the entire portion of the' valley owned by the Govern ment is brought to view. To the south the grassy valley breaks away, a line ot waving green against the walls of precipitous hills. To the right, where you pause beloreenteringthegrounds, wooded bills rise almost sheer above you for between 500 and 600 feet. Opposite, Picatiuny Peak circles to the north and south, rising in perpendicular ragged mass es like a natural wall from the almost level plain. One's eye instantly comprehends the strategic and defensible advantages which have been secured; for from each of at least CO eminences, any one of which cannot stand upward of two miles from all the others, such artillery could be planted as would command every rood of the depot grounds as well as any near approach to them from the south, or to the horseshoe shaped encircling crests of half-mountain hills. One cannot but at the same time re flect that any foreign enemy could enter New York harbor, practically unopposed, and by rapid use of the railway, or even by forced march, possess, fortily and deiend for his own use this gigantic store against our own most desperate valor; and, hnally, with a half dozen well directed shells, ex plode and destroy every vestige of the Pica tinny depot. STBIKIJTG ORNAMENTS. The entrance to the grounds along the Government road is guarded by immense iron gates. Their design is striking and unique. Huge cannon form the four posts supporting the gates. Their breeches rest in immense granite blocks, aud cannon balls placed on their muzzles form most suggest ive caps; while the splendid wrought iron gates are paneled and emblazoned with the insignia of the Ordnance Department, con sisting of crossed cannon and cannon balls. To the left of this imposing entrance a massive granite wall sweeps straight across the narrow valley from base to base of mountains. The view across the enclosed level plain is a singular blending of natural beauty and forbidding austerity. It was at first intended to erect ten maga zines within the grounds, but the number was subsequently limited to five, so that each could be placed at least a half mile from any other, in order to reduce the dan ger from explosion. The first was built in 1880-81, under the direction of Major R, H. Parker, of the Ordnance Corps, then in charge. Pour are completed and in uss for storage, while the massive founda tions for the fifth are already in. They are practically alike, and the dimensions of each are 200x50 feet. The central piers aud foundations are of granite, quarried from the near mountain sides; and the 24-inch walls above are hollow and provided with apertures for free circulation of air during a few hours of sunny days. The ceilings are low, of corrugated iron, laid on wrought iron trusses, forming low attics above. The interiors floors, walls, ceilings, iron door frames and supporting iron pillars are all sheathed as perfectly as a ship's deck with yellow pine; while each are provided with solid inside shutters of pine, and two outer sets of solid wrought iron shutters. Those of the doors, and of the ventilators which open from the outside, are lined with half an inch of solt rubber. PROPEEir CABEPUMiY GUARDED.. All the magazines are protected from lightning in the most thorough manner, one being provided with an aerial net-work of conductors on lolty poles carrying cables and forming a continuous circuit above and around the entire building. No human be ing is permitted to enter a magazine unless barefooted or with rubbers over his boots or shoes. Side tracks from the Morris County Bailroad run to each magazine, and every barrel of powder is handled on rubber-covered skids, or trucks with wheels tired with soft rubber. Once within the magazines there are only the seemingly endless tiers of barrels of powder, or boxes of niter, the pol ished ceilings, sides and floor in view; but no one can escape the sense of awe at the re flection of what one little spark in snch a place could unloose. Nearly 5500,000 has been expended upon the' depot. About 1,250,000 pounds of powder, chiefly of an experimental variety, and 6,000,000 of the total ot 9,000,000 pounds of niter now pos sessed by the United States, are stored in this magnificent depot for the Atlantio sea board. And yet there is but one keeper and three or four laborers to protect these, under certain conditions, priceless properties. Picatinny Powder Depot should be made a regular army post,-with artillery bristling upon the heights, an adequate Body of in fantry encamped in the valley below, and no human being, save under proper authority and surveillanre, should ever be .permitted to enter the tract. As it is, any person in the pay of foreign military secret service can prowl about it; a half dozen determined men could take possession of it, and any one rampant Socialist or luminous crank could effect its absolute annihilation. Somebody at Washington has demonstrated the highest character of military patriotism in the lore sight necessary to its provision. Who is the criminally idiotic patriot at Washington that is bidding, through the grossest negli gence, for its destruction? Edgar L. WakktiTAV.

THE PASTORS' PLEASURES. A Glimpse of Scenes on the Sunny Side of a Preacher's Life. SUMMER VACATIONS AND SALARIES Comparative Yalua of Extemporaneous and Written Sermons. GliEAHIKGS PE0H CI1UKCH FIELDS A generation ago two very popular novels entitled, "Shady Side," and "Sunny Side," had a great run. The object of the books was to show forth the bright sids and the dark side of the preacher's life. The girls and boys of that day, who are the grand mothers and grandfathers of to-day, dropped many a tear over the sorrows of those who ministered to souls, as they read thegraphie stories picturingthe preacher'slot in "Shady Side." One of the boys of that far-away time has, after long experience, come to the conclusion thatpreachersfareon the average as well as any other class, that their lines fall, in the main, in pleasant places. In evidence that preachers do not endure greater hardships than are ordinarily al lotted to mortals, may be adduced the fact that they have, as a rule length of days. The average longevity of clergyman is not surpassed, if equaled by the other profes sions. It is not our impression, after long experience that the lot of ministers ispecpl larly hard, or one that calls for special com passion. To be sure they have their drudgery, their hard work as all professions have. What class escapes special trials? "Shadow and shine is life, flower and thorn." The minister does not find plain sailing. "Storms arise and ocean rolls." If he be faithJul and true be will assuredly encounter breakers. Opposition will come on account of bis fidelity, and all the more certain on account of the lack of fidelity. Preachers often suffer more for right doing than wrong doing. The greatest ot all preach ers said in a message to me of the churches hs had planted: "Pray for ns that we may be de livered from unreasonable men." The unreason of men and women in the churches has proved one of the great sources of trial to ministers. Bnt after all there is a sunny side to the min isterial profession. AMERICANS MOST TORTUNATE. Thanks to the influence of the Scotch-Irish stock who laid the fonndations here, Western Pennsylvania is the American paradise of preachers. The pioneers of the Monongahela Valley were educated in the fatherland to a profonnd respect for the Lord's annotated. Their works do follow them. Tae writer, after long experience and wide observation, fs assured that nowhere in the United States does the minister fare as well as in the region of which Pittsburg Is the center. There are in this city and Alleehenv almost 150 churches, nearly one- half of which are Presbyterian. The overseers ot these nocks are nem in nigner esteem tnan preachers are held in any other city on the continent. The proportion of Sabbath-Keeping and church-going people Is larger in this city than any other In the world outside of Scot land. Better salaries are paid hero to nreach ers, as a rnle. thin In any other American city. The few exceptions in New York and Boston, where large salaries are paid to men of ex traordinary gifts prove the rule. There are a half dozen or more churches in Pittsburg which pay salaries of $5,000 to fS,00Q, with perquisites making the position worth $1,000 or 2.000 more. All the prominent churches, in addition .to this, grant their ministers a month or two of a vacation which very few in other occupations are able to obtain. Some newspaper men envy the preachers in their opportunities for a sum mer outing. The question of extemporaneous or written sermons is thus discussed in a recent editorial in the Chutian Union: "Ministers discuss long and elaborately the question whether the extemporized or the written ser mon is best. To laymen this question does not seem very Important, 1 have asked not a few laymen. 'Does your minister read, or preach extemporaneously,' If the minister is a suc cessful preacher the general answer is, 'Well, 1 don't know; I rather tmnk he has some notes in the pulpit, bnt be never seems to be much confined to them,' " THE SUCCESSFUL SERMON is addressed to a present congregation; It is a medium for contact between the heart and mind of the preacher and the heart and mind of his auditors. If this contact is effected, and there is electricity in the preacher's soul, the the written or the extemporaneous discourse may either of them prove to be a good conduct or. What is essential is that the sermon should he neither a mere essay nor a mere exhortation. If the minister alwavs writes, there is danger that his sermon will become a mere essay; that the preacher will have no object, and therefore the sermon no fire; that his interest will be the interest of a scholar in his theme, or an artificer in his art, not that ot an apostle in the souls of men. If he always extemporizes, the danger will be ibat his discourse will degenerate into a mere exhortation; that it will be at first feeling without thought, and eventually froth without feeling. The essay is a grate fall of coals un lighted; the exhortation a hearth full ot lighted shavings a great blaze, but no warmth. "The higher the culture of the congregation the more necessity that both their reason should be informed and their emotions enkin dled. He who alwa8 writes not only becomes a slave to his pen, but is liable to lose that vital contact with his congregation which comes from, or at least is best developed by, direct ad dress. Ho who always speaks without writing must be a man of either rare (renins or rare mental dlso'plino to avoid becoming rhetorical, morbidly emotional and wearisomely repeti tious; he mast be careful or bis congregation will apply to bis sermons tbe criticism of the newsboy on a white neckclothed discourse in a Five Points mission: "He talked, and he talked, and he talked, and be didn't say nothing." RELIGION AND MORALITT. From a discourse recently delivered by KeT. Dr. R. S. Storrs, in tbe Cburch of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn, ou "Our Nation's Work for the Colored People," the following extract Is taken: "And then an utter divorce not un frequently appears, and this is the most fearful and almost fatal thing of all, between religion and morality among them; so that the same man may be a fervent exborter In the pulpit, and an adulterer or even a mnrderer outside of it an instance of which was brought to my attention through a friend at the South very lately, where a man had been a fervent preacher, admired for his eloquence, and bad tnrned out afterward to have been at tbe same time a brutal mnrderer, and was ere long con victed of the horrible crime. Nevertheless he had appeared to others, perhaps to himself, to be sincere in bis fervent exhortations. This whole strange conception of things waSiSnmmed up in tbe word of one man, preaching to a colored congregation, himself a colored man: '1 have to confess, my dear brethren, that I have broken overy commandment of God, but I bless tbe Lord that I have never yet lost my religionr There is an absolute antithesis in their mind between religion, on the one band, and morality on the other. Morality is a matter of human law. Morality is a mat ter for the judges to investigate, and according to artificial human rules to blame for or to re ward for. Bnt religion is with them a matter of excitement of the senses, of nervous rap tures, of fancied visions, of voices in tbe air, of convulsive paroxysmal agitations of spirit." STORIES BY MINISTERS. The late Dr. Bushnell used to tell the follow ing anecdote to show the influence of climate upon the judgment. As they were coming out of church one drizzly Sunday, his wife re marked: "You would better burn that sermon; It isn't worth repeating anywhere." "I shall do no such thing," I answered, a little vexed; "tbe sermon is up to my aveia.ee." She persisted, and I said little more. But a year or two afterward, on a bricht, cheery Sun day in May one of those days thatmake a dis course go off itself I took that same sermon again. And as we came down the aisle after service, she whispered (without the slightest notion that she bad beard it before): "I would mark that to prtach In exchange; it Is better than common." A minister In a sermon before an association recently related tbe following anecdote: "I once bad in my church a speaking deacon who was disposed to take up more than his share of the time at the prayer meeting. He came to be a great bore and spoiled a good many meetings by his long pious talks. On one occasion be did not get up as nsnal and all felt that we were to escape the infliction for that time. Bnt lo, just as I was about to close up the meeting tbe brother rose and began his customary rigma role by saying that as he was sitting there lis tening to tne nretnren tne aevu wntsperea in bis ear that he should not speak that evening. After a time, however, another voice wbis nered to him that be oucht to SDeak a word for L Jesus. In response to that voice 1 must say a wdiu iur ujv jnaafcer.

All that since 18711 The Deaooness movement is prospering on all hands. Tbe late General Assembly of tbe Presbyterian Cburch favored the establish, ment of such an order or class of Christian workers in its midst, and so did tbe Convention of the Protestant Eniscopal Church. It will not be long before all tbe churches will have consecrated Christian women at work under some systematic plan. They have always proved themselves worthy of the greatest con. fidence in such matters. Bays the editor of the Pittsburg Advocate: The general disposition to sneer at Mr. Wana maker because he is a Sunday school worker is a "sign of tbe times" more portentous than one at first thinks. Political papers of both the prominent parties take every occasion to in sinuate that Mr. WanamaLer is a failure in government because be is an upright man. They do not say it thus, but tbe logic of their gibes brings them to this. There is a fact which is daily becoming moro plain it is that a decent man is not now to be tolerated in politics.

One of the most romantic weddings in high life ever celebrated in this State fook place in Green ville to-day. Two years and a half ago Jj. Guy Harris, a youth of 16, the son of the merchant prince of the city of Spartanburg, eloped with Miss Susie "Walker, the pretty 16-year-old daughter of Colonel James Walker, ex-Mayor of the town and Presi dent of the principal bank. They were legally married by a notary public, and the youthful groom immediately conducted his bride to his father's house, and invited her parents to come over and participate in the wedding feast. Colonel "Walker objected to the marriage on account of the youth of the contracting parties, and arranged to take his daughter to his borne. He subsequently sent her North, and when she returned she again en tered society as a popular young lady. Colonel Walker declared the marriage ille gal on account of the young people beiog under age, but young Harris has considered himself legally married.

NOTHING LIKE SUCCESS TO SUCCEED.

The testimonials published bare always been followed with tbe name AS SIGNED BY THE PATIENT, so as to post tlrely prove tbelr genuineness even to the most skeptical.

Mrs. Josephine Myers, wife of Mr. Jacob Myers, a well-known citizen of Allegheny county, and who has lived for tbe past 20 years at Glenfleld, has experienced snen suffering as lew persons bave and live. She had an almost endless number of condition), among which were a dropping ot catarrhal mucus into her throat, where It became very tenacious and hard to raise, and in the night on awaking it would so suffocate her that she could scarcely get her breath. She had much soreness In the) side other neck and throat. She had pain Mrs. Josephine Jfyers. over her eyes, and ber eyes became very weak. She often felt dizzy and had noises in ber ears that sonnded toner as if she bad a steamboat inherhe&d. As tbe disease finally extended to her lungs, she coughed, ber breath became short and she felt a tightness in her chest and aching pain between her shoulders. Her ap petite failed, and her stomach becamo so weak that food or even water would cause a heaviness and burning in her stomach followed by nausea. She had pains across the small of her back and kidneys. She became bloated and took on a dropsical appearance. Nightsweats weakened her very fast. She could not sleep and would arise in the morning more tired than on going to bed. THE FOLLOWING ARE HER OWN WORDS: "Although I had doctored a good deal I got no better, borne doctors said they could do nothing for me. I became discouraged and thought I never could be cured and that I would not live over a year. One day I hap pened to see in tbe paper an account of the sullerinc of Mrs. iiratt, ot Verner station, which seemed something similar to my suffer ing, and how she became cured by the physi cians of tbe Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute. This gave me some hope, and I therefore took a conrse of treatment from these doctors and have been entirely enred of all my ailments. "Signed with my own band. "MRS. JOSEPHINE MYERS."
