Learning to Shoot.

4 Young hunter writes to Beadles Sat
urday Journal for advice about learning to
shoot The advice was as follows:
To learn to shoot, first select good rifle
Nowadays these are plentiful. There are
many kinds of brcech-loading sporting
rifles, all good, and costing f:om $50 to
$50, with fine sights adapted for fine shoot
ing. The most ordinary kind is that known
rs the peep and globe sight, an American
invention. The rear sight has little pin
hole through which you look and see the
mark and also the front sight, which is a
short, slender pin with globular head
TO shoot we'll with these sights, you have
only to bring the head of the pin on the
bull's-eye, and, if the gun comes from a
good maker, the ball will go straight to
wherever that pin-head covers. The rear
or peep" sight is disk that can be shift
ed up and down a graduated scale to give
more or less elevation to the bore accord
ing to the distance. Peep and globe
sights are easy to shoot through. You
have only one thing to attend to, which is
to bring the front sight on the object fired
at. With open sights you have to attend
to three, the mark and both sights. All
three have to be brought into the same
line before firing, and the front sight, if
shown too much or too little, makes vii /
shooting. With peep and globe" the
rear sight attends to itself.
Having selected your rifle, practice in
your own room, aiming at wafer on the
wall. You will soon find out how to keep
both sights steady on the object. After a
day or two, cock the piece, and pull the
trigger when aiming. Continue this prac-
tice till you can pull without disturbing
your aim This will take you nearly a
week. Then commence with caps, then
with blank cartridge. Persevere for three
weeks without any bullet, and when you
come out for target practice at last, you
will find that you will hit the target every
time.
Your further progress depends on your
self alone. From hitting the target you
will get to making centers, and finally
bull's-eyes. Remember to keep q record
of every shot fired, and where it went to-
Unless you know why you have missed
you will never know how to hit. Ten
shots day, fired slowly and with
careful aim, are worth hundred fired
rapidly When you can make bull'seyes
all the time, you may begin to think of q
quick aim. Till then, take your time, and
keep cool, for one hit is worth fifty misses

&c. There is nothing purer than homes

warmer than love; nothing brighter than

An undergraduate at Cambridge,
who found among the questions on his ex-
animation paper this, "A hy will not pin
stand on its point?' elaborately explained
the point thus: /. \ pin will not stand on
its head, much less is it possible that it
should stand on its point 2. A point, ac
cording to Euclid, is that which has no
parts and no magnitude. A pin cannot
stand on that which has no parts and no
magnitude, and therefore a pin cannot
stand on its point. B. twill, if you stick

Quicksilver is one of the most sim
gular substances known. Miners in Neva-
da say its divisibility is so great, that par
ticles of it float down the clearest streams,
invisible to the eye, and yet large enough
to contain still smaller particles of gold
and silver, or both. The presence of the
floating metals is shown by deposits made
on copper vessels, sunk in the streams
where, in few months, hundreds of dol.
lars worth of quicksilver is collected.

THE st. Lcuis Democrat thus per-
tinently states the position of the
Republican party: at is probably
a mild way of stating it to say that
the platforms recently adopted by
some of the Republican State con.
vcntions indicate great diversity
of opinion concerning such subjects
as greenbacks, banking, and tenn
perance. But then it must be re-
membered that the Republican party
has always tolerated great latitude
Of private Judgment, and such diff
ferences do not necessarily imply q
disintregation of the organization.
The great mission of the Republi-
can party is the destruction of the
Democratic party, which has shown
itself to be the enemy of eur Ameri-
can institutions, and the present
efforts of the Bourbons to reorgan.
ize and put their forces in battle
array is all that is needed to COR
solidate and strengthen the Rcpub-
