O o O2GCOOO3OOGGOOGGOCOQOOCOOO aWMMBPHE impression has *' mes P reva " e( l life those of the mili tary profession, llllli that, as \Vanhiug - /NvJ) ton had neither ''xry lc t.oops, re sources and knowledge, nor ' ' ''III' the broad rango H of field service which have character ized modern warfare, he lacked some of the material elements which develop the typical soldier. It is with the view of dispelling that impression that General H. B. Carrington has written the book entitled "Washington, the Soldier." He contends in his preface that, after full allowance has been made for changes iu army and battle formation, tactical action and arma ment, as well as for the greater facili ties that now exist for the transporta tion of troops and army supplies, it remains true that the relative effect of all these changes upon success in war on a grand scale has not been to alter serionely those principles of military science vhich have shaped battle action aud the general conduct of war from the earliest period of au thentic military history. Among those principles are enumerated strategy, grand tactics and minor tac tics. These are thus defined: Strat egy is the effecting of those combina tions which will insure the highest possible advantage iu the employment of military force. The strategical ability of Washington was memorably exhibited in the campaign of York town. By grand tactics is meant the ability to handle a military force in the field. Au illustration of this prin ciple was Washington's achievement at the battle of Monmouth, when he rallied the Contiuental army, which he found already in full repeat. "When one speaks of minor tactics, one refers to the instruction of the Holdier, individually and en niasso, ir. the details of his military drills, tho use of his weapons aud the perfection of discipline. As regards this part of a commander's duty, the author of this book points out that Washington never lost sight of the set-up of tho individual soldier, looking upon him as the best dependence in the hour of battle Self-reliance obedience to ly on liis horse. Thinking of tho fight at Springfield, smilod triumphantly, of course. And X fondly bowed to him, Full of joy in every limb. As I watched his army fading In the distance blue and dim. All my branches sung a song: I would like togo along Witli those lighters, Who'll be rigliters Of a black and shameful wrong. Oh, I glimmered And I shimmered Willi a patriotic thought, For I loved the gallant leader And the cause for which ho fought; And I wanted to become Sticks to play upon the drum, And the poles to hold tho coiors In tho battle's heat aiul hum I'd be sticks to call the rolls, And I'd bo the happy poles High to wave thedearold banner Wheu it's torn with bullet-holes; But the soldiers wont without me, and I watched them out of sight. With tho drums a loudly rolling and tho muskets shining bright. But I felt I woro the crown Of perennial renown When they marchad beneath my branches On the way to Morristown. orders and confidence in success were enjoined as the conditions of victory. His system of competitive marksman ship, of ride ranges anil burden tests was introduced early in his career, and was enjoined upon the American levies before the battle of Brooklyn, and at other times during the war. With regard to the difficulties of transportation and intercommunica tion in Washington's day, we are re minded that tlieso were equally ob structive to both parties. The slow mails and travel of revolutionary times affected both armies alike. The j British had better communication by water, but not by land; they suffered the disadvantage of campaigning through au unknown and intricate country peopled l>y their enemies. In a chapter on the battle of Mon mouth, the author of this book ex presses the opinion that the truth of history requires a definite statement with regard to the antecedents of the once overestimated officer, Charles Lee. The fact is that, as a subaltern in the British army, he had been uni formly insubordinate, and was in dis credit when he was allowed togo abroad aud fight under various flags as a military adventurer. He knew nothing of handling a large command or combined command. Before the battle of Monmouth he had never been under fire at the head of American troops. He was just cool enough and brave enough at Monmouth to retreat with his division; it was saved chieHy by the self-possession of its officers aud the endurance of tbe rank and file. He was unequal to the command, even had he desired battle. He did not de sire it, however. To have fought a battle with any chance of being taken prisoner would have exposed him to a double penalty for treason at the hands of General Howe. He would have placed himself iu the attitude of defeating the "plan" for the betrayal of American interests which he had arranged with the British commander, and of thwarting the very movement which he had advised. An attempt has been made by some recent writers to revive the tradition that Washington was guilty of pro fanity at the battle of Monmouth. Our author linds it hard to believe that either Charles Lee or his witnesses would not have testified to profane words had they been spoken, for the sake of vindicating Lee when the lat ter'a commission and honor wcro in jeopardy. As a matter of fact, every witness agreed with Lee as to the terms used; none of these implied profanity. Silence in this respect, it is submitted, should be accented as strong presumptive evidence in dis proval of the charge. An eminent American historian sought to verify the vague tradition by the following anecdote: "It is related that, when Lafayette visited this country, in 1825, he was the guest of Chief Justice Hornblower at Newark, N. .T., and that, while seated on the front porch one evening, Lafayette remarked that the only time when he ever heard Washington swear was when he re buked Lee at meeting him on bis re treat at Monmouth." The late Justice Bradley, who married a daughter of Chief Justice Hornblower, thus com mented on this statement: "Nothing of the kind ever occurred. Lafayette did not stay at Mr. Hornblower's, but at the principal public house of the city. There he was visited; but the subject of the battle of Monmouth was not mentioned." The fact is recalled that an insolent letter was written by Lee to Washing t PLANNING A BATTLE.'®* ton immediately after the battle. Leo testified that it was Washington's "mauner rather than words" that gave him offence. Jefiferson said of Washington that "He was incapable of fear, meetiug personal dangers with the calmest unconcern." This statement is, in deed, very clearly proved by his first engagement, of which General Wash • ington gave this description: "I fortunately escaped without any wound, for the right wing, where I stood, was exposed to aud received all the enemy's fire, and it was the part where many were killed and the rest wounded. I heard the bullets ray '!'.U.L COMMANDEIt (WASH UP ASU>DO^ GUARD OYKR His OWN HOUSE." whistle, and, believo me, there is something charming in the sound." Sometimes, while Washington was at Valley Forge, there was nothing to eat in the camp but rotteu salted herrings. Men were known to snatch at the dongh of half-baked cakes in the kitchens of tho farmers' wives. The contractors aud the commissary agents aud the Continental Congress V/ • I'HAITMED BY THE BULLETS' WHISTLE. had brought twelve thousand men to the verge of starvation, and the blood of General Wayne ran hot with rage as he looked on his poor fellows weak with hunger. Indeed, there was but one liorn tumbler aud also but one wooden dish for every mess. Wash ington himself dined one day on pota toes aud hickory nuts. "My good man,"he said to the sentinel iu front of his headquarters, pacing up and down in the bitterness of a cold morning, "have you bad anything to eat?" "Nil, sir," was the reply. "Give me your musket, then, and go inside and get some breakfast," aud the tall commander gravely walked up and down as guard over his own house. Washington.

THE PASSING OF WASHINGTON. |•• •Tl» Well " Were the Last Wo.i«li of (hi Futlier of Hit Couutry. "As the day advanced tho patient Washington began to realize the ex treme gravity of his condition," writes William Perrine, of "TheLast Yearsol Washington's Life," in the Ladies' Homo Journal. "Suffering aud nearly exhausted, he asked his wife to bring him his wills from his desk, 'and indicated which of tho two should be destroyed. Toward night he be came very weak. '1 find I am going now,' ho said, and added, after giving injunctions as to his accounts aud pa pers, 'it, is tho account we all must pay.' Occasionally he made snch re marks during the evening as, 'Doctor, I die hard, butT am not afraid to go,' and 'You had better not take any more trouble about me, but lot me go off quietly; I cannot last long.' Doctor Craik could do little more thau press the hand of his old friend and then sit by the fireside in the simply furn ished room, sadly waiting for the end. Mrs. Washington, seated at the foot of the bed, listened in silent grief. At ten o'clock tho dying man, not with out much effort, made those around him, who included four servants, un derstand that he wished to be buried decently and that his boily might not be putin tho vault until three days after his death. The last words lie was heard to say when he was told that he had been understood, were, "Tis well.' Not long afterward his breathing became easier; he rested quietly; ho even made a movement to feel his own pulse, but his counte nance changed, his hand fell, aud he died without a struggle or a sigh. Major Lear motioned that the end had come. "Tis well,' said the widow in a composed voice. 'I snail soou fol low iiiui.' " Ornpliii! Description of Washington. One of Washington's nephews, re ferring to an occasion a few days be fore death's dnrk veil hid hiiu forever from mortal view, gives this graphic description: He had takeu his usual ride, aud the clear, healthy ilush on his cheek and his sprightly manner brought the remark from both of lis (another nephew) that we had never seen tho General looking so well. I havesome- times thought him decidedly the handsomest mm I ever saw; aud when in u lively mood BO full of pleasantry —so agreeable to all with whom ho associated—that I could hardly realize that he was the same Washington whoso dignity awed all who ap proached him. A Descendant of Washington. Standing in th'.i crowd at Mount Vernon recently without auy mark of listinctiou, or without presenting any claims, was Mrs. William Thomas Un derwood, of Chicago, Betty Washing ton's great-granddaughter.

[Copyright moil.| WASHINGTON, I). C.—ln this discourse T)r. Talmngo shows how the cause of right eousness bits lost many ol Its weapons ami how they are to bo recaptured aud put into effective operation; text, I. Samuel xiii., 111-21: "Now there was no smith fount! t hroughout all the laud of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make lliem swords or spears. Hut all the Israel ites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen overy man his share, aud Ills coul ter, and his ax, ami his mattock. Yet they had a lile for the mattock,and for tho coul ters, aud for the forks, and lor the axes, and to sharpen the goads." What a Railing subjugation for the Is raelites! The Philistines had carried off all tho blacksmiths and torn down all the blacksmiths' shops and abolished tho black smiths' trade i:i the laud of Israel. Tno Philistines would not even allow these par ties to work their valuable miius of brass and Iron, nor might they make any swords or spears. There were ouly two swords left in nil the land. Yea, these Philistines went on until they had taken all the grind stones from tho land of Israel, so that If an Israelitish farmer wanted to sharpen Ills plow or his axe ho had *.o go ovet to the garrison of the Philistines to got It douo. 1 here was only one sharpening instrument left in the land, and that wasaflle, the farmers ami mechanics having nothing to whet up the coulter and tho goad anil the pickax save a simple llle. Industry was hindered and work practically diseraced. Tho greal Idea of these Philistines was to keep the Israelites disarmed, They might got iron out of the hills to make swords of, but they would not have any blacksmiths to welii this Iron. If they got the Iron welded, tboy would have no grindstones on which to hrinn the instruments of agri culture or tho military weapons up to au edge. Oh, you poor, weaponless Israelites, re duced to a llle, how I pity you! But these Philistines were not forever to keep their heel on the neck of God's children. Jona than, on his hands and knees, climbs up a groat rock, beyond which were the Phil istines, and Ills armor bearer, on his hands aud knees, cllml s up the same rock, and these two men, with their two swords, how to pieces the Philistines, the Lord throw ing a great terror upon them. So it was then; so it Is now. Two men of God on their knees mightier than a Philistine host ou their feet! 1 learn, first, from this subject that It is dangerous for the church of God to allow its weapons to stay in the hands of its ene mies. These Israelites might again and iiKniu have obtained a supply of swords aud weapons—as, for instance, when tliey took the spoils of the Ammoultes--but these Israelites seemed content to have no swords, iiO spears, no blacksmiths, no grindstones, no active iron mines, un til it was too late for them to make any re sistance. I see the farmers tugging along with their pickaxes and plow, and I sav, "Where are you going with those things?" Tliey say, "Oh, we are going over to the gnrrTsou of the Philistines to get these things sharpened!" I say, "You foolish men! Why don't you sharpen them at home?" "Oh," they say, "the black smiths' shops are all torn down, aud wo havo nothing left us but a llle!" So it is in the church of .Testis Christ to day. We are too willing to give up our weapons to the enemy. The world boasts that it has gobbled up the schools, and the colleges, aud tho arts, ami the sciences, and tlie literature, and tho printing press, inlldelity is making a mighty attempt to got all our weapons in its baud anil then to keep them. You know it is making this boast all tho time, and after awhile, when this groat battle, between sin and righteous ness has opened. If we do not look out we will be lis badly oIT as these Israelities, without any swords to light with and with out any sharpening instruments. I call upon tlie superintendents of literary insti tutions to see to it that the men who go in tc the classrooms to stand beside tho Ley den jars, and tho electric batteries, and the microscopes and telescopes, bo children of God, not Philistines. The Tyndallean thinkers of our times are trying to get all the Intellectual weapons in their own grasp. Wo want *eleutiflc Christians to capture the science, aud scholastic Christians to capture the scholarship, ami philosophic Christians to :;apture philosophy, and lecturing Chris tians to take back tho lecturing platform. We want to solid out against Schuukel and Strauss and Rcnaii a Theodore Chrlstllob of Bonn aud against tho lull.lei scientists of the day it God-worshiping Sillimau ami Hitchcock and Agassiz. Wo want to cap ture all the philosophical apparatus ami swing around tho telescopes on the swivel until through them wo can soe the morn ing star of the Redeemer, aud with miucr aloglcal hammer discover the Rock of Ages, and amid the Horn of all realms llnd the Hose of Sharon antl the Lilly of tho Valley. Wo want some ono able to ex pound thellrst chnpter of Genesis, bring to It the geology nml the nstronomy of the world, until, as Job suggested, "thestones of the Held shall be In league" with Ihe truth ami the stars in their course shall fight agaiust Slsera. Oh, church of God, go out and recapture these weapons! Let men of God go uut and take posses sion of the platform. Let any printing presses that have been captured by the enemy be recaptured for God, and the re porters, and the typesetters, and the ed itors, and tho publishers swear all al legiance to tie Lord God of truth. All, my frlond, that day must come, and if the great body of Christian men have not the faith or courage or tho consecration to do it, then let some Jonathan on his busy hands aud on his praylug knees ciimb up on the rock of hindrance aud, lu the name of the Lord Gotl of Israel, slash to pieces those literary Philistine-. If these men will not be converted to God, theu tliey must be overthrown. IfAgaln, I learn from this subject what a large amount of the church's resources Is actually bidden ami buried and undevel oped. The Bible intimates that that was a very rich laud, this land of Israel. Ii says,"The stones are Iron, and out of the hills thou shalt dig brass," and yet hun dreds ami thousands of dollars' worth of this metal was kept under the hills. Well, that is the difficulty with the church of Gotl at tills day. lis talent is not devel oped. If one-half of its energy coulil be brought out, it might take tlie public in iquities of the day by the throat ami make lliem bite the dust. If human eloquence wore consecrated to tho Lord Jesus Christ, it would in a few years persuadotho whole earth to surrender to Gotl. There is enough undeveloped energy In this city lo bring all the United States to Christ, enough of undeveloped Christian energy in tho United States to bring the whole world to Christ, but it is buried under strata of indifference and under whole mountains of sloth. Now, is it not time for tlie mining to begin mid the pickaxes to pluuge aud for this burled metal to lie brought out ami put Into the furnaces nml turned into howitzers and curbiues for the Lord's host? The vast majority of Christians in tills lay are useless. The most of the Lord's battalion beloug to tho reserve corps. The most of the crew are n»teep in the liaiu nocks. The most of tlie metal is under thu hills. Oh, Is It not time for the church of llod to rouse up and understand that we want all the energies, all the talent ami all the wealth enlisted for Chrisi's sate? I like tho nieknume that the English sol llers gave to Blucher, Ihe commander, l'bey called him "Old Forwards." We have had enough retreats in the church of Christ; let us have a glorious advance. And I say to you as the general said when Ills troops wore ntriglited rising up In lit* stirrups, his iinlr Hying In the wind, lie lifted up his voice until 20,000 troops lienrd m ln cr J r ' l, K ol,t . "Forward, tho whole line!'* Wo wnnt nil tin. laymen enlisted. Minis tors are numerically too small. They do tlm best lliey ciin. They are the most over worked class on earth. .Many of tliem d|f of dyspepsia because they cannot get the right, kind of food to eat or, getting the right kind, are so worried that they take tt down in chunks. They die from consump tion coming freni early and lale exposure. It a liovoliest or a historian publishes one book a year, he is considered Indus trious. Jint every faithful pastor must originate enough thought for three or foui volumes u year. Ministers receive enough calls in a year from men who huvo maps and medicines nud lightning rods and pic tures to sell to exhaust their vitalitv. They nre bored with agents of nil sorts. They are set in drafts at funerals nud poisoned by tlio unventilatod rooms of In valids and waited upon by committee* who want addresses made until life becomes a burden to bear. It is not hard study that makes ministers look pale. It Is the iu llnity of interruptions and hothernlions to which they are subjected. Numerically too small! It is no more the work of the pulpit lo convert and save the world than it i, the work of the pew. if men goto ruin, there will be as much blood on your skirts as on mine. Let us quit this grand farce of try in? to save tlie world by a few clergymen, and let all hands lay hold of the work. Give us in all our churclius two or three aroused and qualified men and women to help. In most churches to day live or ten men are compelled to do all the work. A vast majority of churches are at their wits' end how to carry on a prayer meeting if the minister is not there, when there ought to !<o enough pent ui> energy and religious force to make nmeet ing goon with such power thai the minis ter would never be missed. The church stands working the pumps of a few ministerial cisterns until the buckets are dry and choked, while there are thousands of fountains from which might be dipped up the waters of eter nal life. Jteforo you and I have tho sod | ressing our eyelids wo will uodei God decide wbetlier our children shall grow up amid tho accursed surroundings oi vicu and shame or come to an inheritance of righteousuess. Long, loud, bitter will bo the curse that scorches our grave if, hold lug within tlie church to-day enough men and women to save the city, we act tho coward or tho drone. I wish I could put enough moral explosives under the con ventionalities and majestic stupidities of tho day to blow them to atoms and tba l then, with 50,00) men and women from ail the churches knowing nothing but Christ and a dosiro to bring all the world to Him, we might move upon the enemy's w->rks. a little while heaven would not have trumpets enough to celebrate tho victories. Again, I learn from this subject that wo sometimes do well to take advantage of the world's grindstones. These Israelites were reduced to a Hie, and so they went over to the garrison of the Piiilistiues to get their axes and their goads and their plows sharpened. The liible distinctly states it tho text which I read at tho beginning of the service—that they had no other instru ments now with which to do this work, and the Israelites did right when they went ovei to the Philistines to use their grindstones. My friends, is it not right for us to employ the world's grindstones? If there be art. if there be logic, if there be business facul ty on tlie other side, let us go over and em ploy it for Christ's sake. The fact is we light with too dull instruments. Wo hack and we maul when we ought to make a clean stroke. Lot us go over among sharp business men and among sharp literary men and find out wb.it their tact i< and transfer it lo the cause of Christ, l! they have science and art it will do us good tc rub against it. In other words, let us employ the wor ld'.» grindstones. We will listen to their inusic, and we will watch their acumen, and wo will Use their grindstones, and will borrow their philosophical apparatus to make out experiments, and we will borrow their printing presses to publish our Bibles, nud we will borrow their rail trains to carry our Christian literature, nud we will borrow I their ships to transport our missionaries. That was what made Paul suoU a master in his day. He not only got all the learning he could get of Dr. Gamaliel, but after ward, standing on Mars hilt and in crowd ed thoroughfare, quoted their poetry, and grasped their logic, and wielded their elo quence, and employed their mythology un til Diouysius, the Aroopagite, learned in the schools of Athens and Ileliopolis, wont down under his tremendous powers, ♦ Tuiit was what gave Thomas Chalmers his power in his day. He conquered the world's astronomy and compelled it to ring out tlie wisdom and greatness of the Lord until, for the second time, the morning stars saug together and all the sons of God shouted for joy. That was what gave tc Jonathan Edwards his iu3uenco in his day. Ho conquered the world's metaphysics an I forced it into the service of God until not only the old meetinghouse at Northamp ton, Mass., but all Christendom, felt thrilled by his Christian power. Well, now. tuv friends, we nil have tools of Christian power. l)o not let them loso their edges. Wo waut no rusty blades in this light. Wo want no eoulter that cannot rip up the glebe. We want no nxe that cannot fell the trees. Wo waut 110 goad that eanuot stnrt the lazy leum. Let us get the very best grindstones we can find, though they be in possession of the Philistiues, compel ling tliem to turn tho crank while we boar down with all our might on tho swift re volving wheel until nil our energies nud laculties sliuil bo brought up to a bright, keen, sharp, glittering edge. Again, my subject teaches us 011 what a small allowance Philistine iniquity puts n man. Yes, these Philistines shut up the luiues, and then they took the spears and the swords; then they took the blacksmiths; then they took tlie grindstones, nud they look everything but a 1110. Oh, that is the way sin works! It grabs everything. It begins with robbery nud ends with rob bery. It despoils this faculty and that faculty and keeps on until tho whole- nature is gone. Was tho man eloquent before, it generally thickens his tongue. Was he tine iu personal appearance, it mars his visage. WHS he affluent, it sends the sheriff to sell him out. Was he inlluentlal, It destroys his popularity. Was he placid and genial and loving, it makes him splenetic and cross, ami so utterly Is lie changed that you can see lie is sarcastic and rasping and that tlie Philistiues have left him nothing but a file. I learn from tills subject what a sail thing It is when the church of God loses Its metal! These Philistines saw that if they couhi only get all the metallic weapons out of tho hands of tho Israelites all would be well, and therefore thov took theswords and the spears. They did not waut tliem to have a single metallic weapon. When the motal of the Israelites was gone, their strength was gone. This is the trouble with tlie church of God to-day. It Is sur rendering its courage. It has not enough metal. Oh, is it not high time that we awake out of sleep? Church of God, lift up your head at the coming victory! The Philistines will go down, and the Israelites will go up. We are 011 the winning side. 1 think just now the King's horses are being liookeil up to tho chariot, nud when He does ride down the sky there will bo such a hosanna among His friends and such a walling among His enemies as will make the earth tremble mid the heaven sing. I see now the plumes of the Lord's cavalrymen loosing in the nlr. Tho archangel be fore tho throne has already burnished Ills trumpet, nud then lie will put its gold en lips to his own, mid lie will blow tho long, loud blast that will make all the na tions free. Clap your hands, all ye peo ple! Hark! I hear the falling thrones and the dashing down of demolished iniquities. "Halleluiah, the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!
