The Salvation Army.
Whatever may be the eccentricities of the leaders of the Salvation Army, (says a Wellington paper) no one can accuse them of want of practical sympathy with the Magdalenes of society, whose good they have evidently at heart. On Sunday evening last two girls, who had formerly belonged to the army, created a row m front, of the barracks m Taranaki-street, aud were locked up. Notwithstanding that the girls coarsely reviled the officers of the movement, one of the contingent went down to the lock-up and bailed tho women out, and, m adtlition, gave them a lodging for the night. Nor did the sympathy of the Salvationists halt here. An officer escorted the girls to the court yesterday morning and paid their fines for them. The women left the court with their philanthropical escort, beaming with smiles.
