the manner in which an Indian boy got

but excite the admiration Of all who
sitnessed the transaction. The mother

a seat on what she in her ignorance sup
posed to be a dead COAL The boy saw
his opportunity, and sliding noiselessly
behind post, began vigorously work
ing the bellows which connect with the
fire. simultaneously with the young
rascars pumping there shot up from his
materoal derivatives seat a flame OF
fire. She fingered not, but with Piute
imprecation on her offspring and fire
in the rear, sprang from the forge to a
big tub of water standing by, and there
III nurriedly squatted, while the noble
youth made quick tracks for a door in

The New York Times prints the follow
ing brief sketch of the military career OF
Capt. T. H. French:
Captain French was commissioned in
the Tenth Infantry, March 10th, 1868
He had frequently been offered Cap
taincy in the Forty-fourth Infantry, but
declined to accept it. He is graduate,
not of West Point, but of the regular
army. He served as soldier during the
rebellion, and was promoted, on his mer-
its, to a second Lieutenacy in the Tenth
Infantry, May 18, 1864. On June 20, OF
the same year he was advanced file,
and then in 1868 received his Captaincy.
From May-19, 1860, to January l., 1871
he was not on duty at all, but on the la:-
ter date was assigned to the Seventh Cav.
airy, with which command he has since
performed excellent service.

ANOTHER WAR INSTRUMENT.
A Machin Q that Saves AraQerists
the Trouble of Finding tho Range.

AMachin Q that Saves Ard11erists
tho Trouble of Finding tho Range.
Berlin Corresponds nee of the London Daily News.
I had an opportunity the other day of
examining Gen. Berdan's new distance
calculator, or in military language
s'Range-fnder'' which is making such
sensation here in m lltary circles. When
closed up, ready for moving, it looks like
a sort of primitive chariot, mounted on
TWO large light wheels and drawn by one
horse. Two men ride upon the comfort
able seat, the driver and the operator, and
for:the latter, SO simple is the Instrument,
no special training is necessary, however
desirable it may be that he should under
stand the principles of trigonolnetrical
science.
=, When range Of any point is taken,
before a battery begins to play, for in.
stance, or regiment to fire, the horse
is slipped out of the shafts and the body
of the "charlot" then turned completely
on, its axle. The frame, on which Isl
built the seat, then serves as a firm and
steady support for the instrument. The
BODY of the vehicle is box or case one
metre wide, nearly two long, and about
a. foot deep. and when its two opposite
ends are thrown open the instrument is
ready for use.
This consists, loosely described, of two
parallel telescopes about one and half
metres long, and very powerful, affixed
to frame which swings on a common
pivot. The sight ends are..just one nemetre
apart, and this is, of course, the base line
of calculation. One of these telescopes
is movable only with the frame, of which
both form part. This is first sighted
on the object, and then the frame is made
fast, the first step being thus complete
The other telescope is adjustable further,
on pivot of its own, and, bv means OF a
small wheel is turned to the right angle
af conveyance with its companion-that
is to say, until it too covers the object.
Now, having the base line and the an
gle of conveyance, any surveyor could,
Of course, calculate the distance. But in
Gen. Berdan's instrument the wheel
which adjusts the second telescope Is
marked of into metres, centimetres, and
milimetres, and is covered by little
hand or pointer, and when the hand is
brought within the focus the pointer in
dicates exactly the distance. This is abb
solutely all there is of it. In two minutes
the instrument can be unlimbered, put
into readiness, and distance found.

James OBrien.

James O'Brden.
In the TRIBUNE of March IA it was
stated that O'Brien who was shot by
Morgan gave his name to the OBrien
precinct where such lively voting was
done in 1873. O'Brien and some of
bis friends regard this q reflection on
the unfortunate man and feel hurt that
his name should be used in that connsc-
ton as he was pot in tn e country at the
time and in fact was not the O'Brien
who owned the cabin where the voting
was pretended to have been done. The
language was unfortunate, because liable
to be misunderstood, and we regret its
use, but it was not intended as rehec-
tion afld faily construed will not appear
to be-. Now, Mercer, Gayton and others
have given their names to#the ranches
they occupy, in the sense we used this
expression, but if four or five should get
together in Bismarck and prepare set
Of returnsof an election said to have
been held at Gayten's we do not see.
that Gayton-would be in any sense to-
blame for it though.he had long since
given .hrs name TO- the ranch where the
eli, ,ction was. ssid to have been held. In
1873 some fellows in Bismack did this
very thing only they selected O'Brien's
cabin. which was deserted, instead Of
Mercer's, or Gayton's OF. .Agard's rsome
other, and called their papers the returns
OF an election held at~the residence OF
James O'Brien, &c., but no one ever
supposed that any one by the name OF
O'Brien had nything to do with it IN
any shape whatever, nor will a fair con
struction of the language used imply
that he had. We did rot say he lent his
name to the fraud but gave his name to
locality where thing which was never
done was said to have been done.

Considerable curiosity has been evin-
ced as to the war record OF Major Marcus
A. Reno, whose recent court-mart'al III
this city has attracted attention through
out the country. He is graduate OF
West Point, class of 1857, and is there
fore past the period of youthful ind'scre-
ton, having been in continuous service
twenty years. He was promoted at once
into the First Dragons, on DUTY IN Ore.
eon, where he remained OF duty until
the rebellion Of 1861. At this time the
dragons were changed to cavalry, and
Lieutenant Reno became Captain'ln
the first regiment, which was formed OF
the First Dragons. During the years
1861 and 1862 he took part in ten engage
ments in the campaigns against Rlch-
moT,d, for which he received his first pre-
vet In 1864 he participated IN seven eye,
battles, and was breveted lieutenant-Col-
onel. He was on staff duty un1l the
close of the war, having in 1856? COM
mandei the Twelfth Pennsylvania Caval-
rv and received brevet as brigadler OF
volunteers. In 1865 he was detailed to the
important position of instructor OF tao

The Trials of Journalism.


Courier-Journal, in we'll considered ad-
dress before the Tennessee Press Associa
ton, gives the following succinct and en-
inently truthful picture of one of the ''trials
of Journalism" : -
sOf all public men the journalist makes
The most private enemies He is habit
ually giving offences negative descriP-
ton by refusing to comply with the
many impudent, unreasonable and pre-
posterous demands which are made upon
him by all sorts of people every dav
We forgive an insult sooner than a slight;
and when an editor has wounded the
vanity of the respectable contributor who
has asked the insertion of a cornmunica
ton, or disappointed the self love of the
ambitious politician who expects half a
column of panegyric and gets only lire
or two of faint praises, he. may be sure
that he will be remembered long after
his fierce assaults upon the enemy have
been forgotten. Journalism is an intel
lectual outpost; the journalist, vidette,
who is subjected to the fire Of the regular
line in front, may be picked off atany mo-
ment by the sharpshoo,ers, or surprised
from the rear, or otherwise molested on
account of his exposed position. 4
The journals: is usually weak candl-
date for office on this account. He may
be the most distinguished member of the
community, admired for his brilliancy
and his courage; but let him offer him
self for an aspirant for votes-that is, let
him throw away his professional armor
and weapons, and sink to the level of Or
dinary, men and to the common uses of
the hustings and the ballott-box, and he
will encounter multitude of adversaries
and obstacles additional to those which
beset the out-and-out politician. The
public is more exacting in his case, be-
cause it thinks he has an advantage in
his newspaper whereas it is disadvan-
tage; whilst the people he has affrollted
in one way and another feel thatat length
they have him on equal footing with
themselves and are glad of an opportu-
nifty to paw back the old score, For these
reasons, editors should be gentler to each
other. AS class, and at best, they have
an uphill Journey of it; the abuse they
get does all the harm that abuse does to
other people; the praise unsubstant'ai
and unfrequent, and of small practical
account. OF course most Of this may be
ascribed to our habit of depreciating our
selves, each other and our calling. But
after every reform has been made which
we can hope to make, there will still be
a discount against us. This can be made
good only bY superior diligence and dis
cretion, self-insp pection and se!f-denial,
and the practice Of those virtues which
are rightly expected of him who sets
himself up to teach his fellow men,
