The New Tactics.

A lecture was recently delivered be-
fore the United Service Institution, in
London, by Captain Brackenbury, OF
the ROYAL Artillery, in reference to the
new tactics which the modern breech-
loader is forcing upon the various war
departments of Europe. He said that
those officers who had not had any e1-
perience in the field with these terrible
weapons would do we'll to give the
whole subject thorough and profound
study. To go to war armed with breech-
leaders, proposing to meet an enemy
armed with weapon Of the same or
similar capabilities, and at the same
time expect to manUuvre in the face OF
such an enemy with the old system OF
tactics, would be about as wise as to
send fleet of wooden ships to encoun-
ter feet of iron-clads. The whole
system of tactics must be really In:
yerted, as it were. Skirmishers, instead
of being the antenno, the mere feelers
of an army, will be the army itself ;
and any reserve held back to operate at
a particular moment in line or column,
will merely come in on a rush to reap
the fruits of success already won, and
will not be itself any longer the means
of winning the success. The notion
that line will advance over or through
its own skirmishers to attack the enemy
beyond, is, therefore, theory which
must be entirely dismissed from the
minds of campaign drill-masters. All
recent experience shows that the way to
get skirmishing line forward is not to
keep it hanging under cover in hopes OF
relief, but to keep on throwing in Judi
eious reinforcements, so that its line
may be constantly advancing, and, ii
possible, crushing back the opposing
party. Whether it will be actually
possible ever to strengthen the line Of
skirmishers into such close order as will
make it approximate to the normal lins
of the present drill-books, is doubtful,
though. of course, compression in 6
very great degree will sometimes bt
forced upon commander by the nature
of the country. This whole question
of the future of infantry opens up
most interesting and useful line o.
speculation which, it is to be hoped
will finally crystalize in q new tactlca
system fully equal to the demands o.
modern warfare.

A Sealy Battle at Far Rockaway.

A strange battle occurred at Far
Rockaway, Long Island, in front OF the
Nelson House. A school Of drumfish
were chased into shallow water by q
school of porpoises. The drumfish
tried their best to get away, but the
porpoises pursued them so hotly that a
number of the former were driven ashore;
The people Of the hotel were awakened
by q great splashing and q noise some
what similar to but less distinct than
the grunt Of frightened hog. Look
ing out of the windows they saw the
porpoises striking the drumfish with
their tails. Soon after, the .porpoises
turned and left. The porters at the
hotel and some of the fishermen secured
with boat-hooks about twenty-five dead
drumfish, and large number are still
floating around Jamaica Bay. The
drumfsh secured weighed from thirty
TO seventy pounds each. Some were
sent TO Cansrsie for exhibition, ana
othersto Fulton Market foE sale.

Fashions for the Summer Season.

Riding habits Of light black cloth,
made with severe simplicity, are seen
on the forms of the most fashionable
equestriennes in the Park. With these
habits silk hat, with narrow, rolling
brim and a crown just five inches high,
is worn. The very high crowned hats
are going out of vogue. "The Noun
taineer," tall crowned, black straw
hat, is worn by equestriennes out OF
town. A long black ostrich plume
sweeps around the crown. Oxldlzed
silver buckles and small ostrich tips are
also seen on country riding hats.
Riding gloves are of undressed kid,
long in the wrist, cut in one piece, and
without buttons.
A novelty just introduced in redin-
gotes is to have the fronts faced down
the whole way inside with silk or satin,
and leave the garment open, like gen.
tleman's overcoat. The latest fabrics
offered for redingotcs is East India bam-
boo cloth, a light washing material,
woven very loosely, making it cooler
than linen or any other summer fabric.
Smoked pearl buttons are more appro-
pirate for these redingotes than oxidized
silver.
Little boys ere again we airing regular
roundabout jackets, with knee breeches;
sailor straw hats.
The latest fancy in parasols or ladies'
umbrellas is to ornament the handle
with round knob of plain sterling sill
yer, sterling silver band and chate.
laine, steel ferrule at the end, twilled
silk serge cover, steel paragon" frame.
The summer croquet shoe is of black
lasting, foxed with kid, tied on the In.
step, high at the back of the heel and
curved low around the ankle. Heels
broader and lower than last season.
Striped hosiery in various colors on
white or ecru is worn with this style OF
shoe.
Watering place polonaises for full
dress are being made of alternate stripes
of black velvet ribbon and insertings OF
silk guipure or yak lace. These polon-
aises are wore over colored silk skirts.
Point Russo and ecru linen fancy work
are taken by ladies going out OF town
for Willing away rainy days and the
time spent indoors. Point Russo is
simply backstitching in colored en-
broidery silks on plain drab or leather
colored cloth.
Antique designs are thus wrought on
chair seats, sofa cushions, lambrequin
drapery and gentlemen's slippers. The
ecru linen fancy work is simply an ap-
plique cut work on ecru linen, with q
buttonhole stitch in bright colored, OF
white or ecru silk. Lace work is also
becoming very fashionable. The Eliza.
bethan sampler stitches are nsed to make
sacaues of lace intended for tides, sofa
and toilet sets. Fayal mats, fine as
cobwebs, made by nuns and their pupils
in converts, are sold at the fancy stores
for toilet mats and other fancy pur.
poses. A set-two mats-cost from

Precautions Against Cholera.

The Board of Health of New York
has issued the following circular to
/" pteyeut the outbreak and spread Of
cholera
/: To disinfect diarrheal discharges
and to purify water.closets, privies,
drains; and cess-pools; dissolve ten
pounds OF eulphste Of iron (copperas)
in five gallons Of water, and ada lialf
pint of common carbolic acid. Keep
small. quantity Of this solution IN the
vessel which is to receive the discharges.
Pour pint Of the solution into the pan
of the water.closet three or four times
O day, or add half the entire quantity
to the contents of an ordinary prlvy
vault. If this practice is made general
in all private dwellings, not only will
the house-drains of such. dwellings be
disinfected, but the benefit will extend
even to the public sewers.
Q. The seats and floors of all water
closets in private houses, at ferry
houses, at hotels and lodging-houses,
on steamboats, and rail-cars, should be
frequently washed with solution OF
one ounce of carbolic acid in each gal
lon Of water:
s. During the prevalence Of cholera,
all diarrheal discharges should be re-
ceived in vessels containing some OF the
disinfecting fluid, before being thrown
into the privy-vault or pan of the water
closet. Patients suffering with diarrhea,
however mild, should remain isolated,
observe the recumbent posture, and
avoid unripe fruits and stale vegetables.
Nothing is of more Importance in these
cases than absolute rest.
4. Clothing, sheets, towels, ETC., from
cholera patients, should be Immediately
boiled; but, when this is impracticable,
they may be thrown into tub OF water,
in which have been dissolved eight
ounces of sulphate Of zinc, with one or
two ounces of carbolic acid to every
three or four gallons of water, or in
water containing ufficientpermanganate
of potash to maintain light purple
color, until the articles can be boiled.
5. To absorb moisture from damp
cellars, closets, courts, and sunken
areas, use fresh stone lime, finely broken
and suitably distributed, or placed On
plates in the places to be dried. White
washing should be done with pure fresh
lime. Putrid and offensive gases may
be destroyed by chloride of lime.
6. Open and thoroughly ventilate
cellars, garrets, closets, sleeping-rooms,
and all other apartments, and keepthem
clean and dry. Observe the utmost
cleanliness in Easements, areas, and
grounds about the house.
7. Personal health requires pure
drinking-water, fresh air, substantial!
food, the needed rest, and bathing OF
the body.

The Good Mans Monument.

Old Neighbor Wilson's means were few,
His acres were but small,
His house was plain, yet comfort threw
Its CHEEKY light DER all.
He lived not for himself alone,
But did his very best
To help his struggling neishbor, on;
And chcr+ the hssft oppressed.
Not his the wish to garner grain,
And fill his storehouse high,
Merely the love Of greed or gain,
Or pride to crafty.
He titled his scanty fields, and strove
To make the harvests fair
He knew that His rcwarding lore
Would bless the farmers care.
And Neighbor Wilson knew that He
An honest toll would crown;
And bless with sure prosperity
The good seed rightly sown.
Such smiles as Neighbor Wilson won
From all, gold could not BUY
Such gratitude fol- kind acts done
In love and charity
His board, though plain with humble fare
TO Want was always free;
Love was the ministering angel there,
Who labored faithfully.
He bull. no temple high and grand,
He reared no ponument
OF marble wrought by sculptor's hand,
To show his good intent.
But in the hearts Of men he raised
A monument Of love,
Brighter than poet ever praised,
The power of art to prove.
Upon his grave the grass is green,
And has been many yeari
Yet there the mourner Oft is seen
To pause and drop tear.

The success of flying machines is
truly astonishing. A Mr.. Folger, up
in Michigan, recently constructed one,
went to the top of the barn, "lit out,
and went with such rapidity that he lost
his consciousness for half an hour,
when he found himself but q few feet
from the barn. He thinks he could not
have been entirely unconscious, other
wise he would not have returned to the
barn. whore Ii picked himself up.

Rrnta Fnrea In schools.

In his late report to the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen of Edgefeld, W. P. Marks,
Superintendent OF the Public Schools, in the
following extract, gives his opinion very
freely on the subject of bru;e force in the
government and discipline Of children. He
says:
ain matters of government and disc pline,
it has been our motto and practice to appeal
to the head ard heart rather than to the
back, and in this we claim to have succeeded
to a gratifying extent, and fully vindicated
the oft repeated maxim, thai "kiDdness is
q more powerful agent than compulsiOn."
In every case Of discipline, the better feel
ings, tre manly pride of the boy, have been
appealed to, aud the result has been all that
could be desired. A feeling Of self-respect
and manly aspiration have been inspired,
while an appeal to the rod would have
blunted the ssnsibilities and set up feeling
of degraded hatred and stultifed ambition.
"There is but Little hope Of q boy until he
is to some extent prompted and stimulated
by manly aspirations. He must be made
to see the end from the beginning, and re-
alzs the important truth that the boy is the
father of the man. Hence It becomes
those who have charge Of his early train
iug. to use their utmost skill IN surrounding
him with influences that will lead to manly
and honorable results. An Intellect was
given to man for his guidance and govern
ment, and he is but brute who can only
be governed by brute force"
