The Salvation Army.
I am sorry to learn (says " Endy raion " m the Qaeenslander) that there is a split m the ranks of the Salvation Army. It appears, according to Captain Cairns, that the concertina, two men, two womeD, and a girl, who have been doing battle as disciples of General Booth for long time past m Brisbane, are not " duly qualified "to fight under that gteat man's banner, so that the gallant captain has started an opposition army consisting of a fiddle, a coupie of men, and a lot of small boys. Ou the other hand the concerting! division say that Captain Cairns does not bring with him proper credentials, and see no reason why they should knuckle down to him. Now, this rather mixes things. In tbe first place, how are those who have joined the concertina band to know whether they really belong to the Salvation Aruiy or not, or whether they are mere y outsiders wilh no authority co fight at all ? Then, again, what may be the awful result if the concertina and fiddle contingents come into collision on the bridge some eight.
