MODERN WARFARE.


A war correspondent with the Eeighth
Corps OF the Russian army writes: TO
illustrate the method OF attack In the
Russian army, which is as In the Ger
man army by the company column, the
colonel called four OF his orderlies,
each one to represent @ company, and
stationed them in what IL called the
'cross" formation; that is, there stood
man representing company at each
of the four points OF the figure OF the
cross. They moved forward, retaining
these relative positions; they changed
direction to right or to left, still main
tanning the same; In the former case
the company which had been, the right
fanking company becoming the lead
ing company; In other words, march
ing at the head OF the cross in the lat
ter case, the previous left hankiDg COM
pany taking the leading position. He
told me that In each battalion there
was one company OF tirailleurs, or light
infantry, whose duty 1t was more espe-
cially to skirmish. On occasion, the
tirailleur companies might be m&ssed,
II arifis battalion or brigade were re-
CURED; but this, in the nature iii
things, would b6 seldom. There fs. be-
said, no cavalry attached to an infantry
division OF the Russian army, with the
exception Of few Cossacks to act al
orderlies and carry dispatches; ali the
cavalry OF each corps is massed into the
cavalry division OF that corps and
operates Independently"

CHANGE OF 4IR.

An occasional change of air NAV be
said to be almrst necessary to the we'll
being OF every man. Every workman
must leave his workshop, the student
his library, and the lawyer his office. or
sooner or later his health will pay the
penalty; and this, no matter how great
his temperance in eating and drinking;
no matter how vigorously and regularly
he uses his limbs; no matter how open
and dry and free from impurity may be
the air of the place in which he is en-
ployed. In the slightest cause of i'm
paired health, the sleeping in the sub
urbs of the town in which the life is
chiefly spent, or spending a few hours of
detached days in some accessible rural
districts at few miles distance from the
dwelling, may suffice to restore the
healthy balance of the bodily functions.
and maintain the bodily machine in a fit
state for its duties; or in more cases of
somewhat more urgency or of somewhat
more aggravated character, few days
once or twice year may suffice to ad-
just or restore the due economy of the
system.

THE HAEYEST.

The past harvest has been an unusu-
ally bountiful one. The yield of the
kindly earth has this year been I'M
precedented. The returns are all in
now, and the indefinite congratulations
that we have uttered to one another,
from time to time, may now be crystal
hzed into positive knowledge. Such a
bountiful provision of cereals has never
been known in the history of the coun-
try. In the two cereals, wheat and
corn, the crop is 1875, OOO,OO bushels OF
the former, and 1880, 600, 900 of the lat
ter. The nearest approach to the wheat
crop of 1877 was in 1874, when it reached
800, 1O2, 700 bushels; the corn crop is
a trife below those of 1876 and 1875.
The movement of this vast amount of
food is just beginning to be felt, and the
promise of real wealth which it implies
is golden.-PiHs6argh Dispatch.

ART OF PLEASING.

A modest and virtuous young man,
on first going into society, is apt to be
sorely perplexed upen the question
how to make himself agreeable to Ia
dies. He need not be ashamed of his
perplexity, as he is far from being alone
in this feeling.
Washington Irving, in one of his early
sketches, confesses that we'll dressed
young lady was an object perfectly cav
full to his imagination.
We once heard of a gentleman of dis
tinction in public life, the father of sew
eral accomplished daughters, who could
not. even in his 50th year, enter draw
ing-room where ladies were present with
out painful embarrassment.
1t is certainly good sign in a young
man to stand in some awe of the beautl-
full sex. A person of coarse and vul-
gar mind, who thinks more of himself
than his best friends think of him,
and who knows little of the worth of
good woman's heart, rushes fearlessly
in where Irving or Addison would fear
to tread.
Bear this in mind, young gentlemen,
who blush and stammer in the presence
of ladies' the girls are as much afraid of
you as you are of them.
| You are awkward in your manners,
you think. If you think SO, it is likely
that your fair friends think otherwise !;
for the really ill-bred fellows that we
have known have never suspected their
ill-breeding.
And, after all, what is good-breeding
but habitual good nature The simple
fact that you a0ish to please is proof
that you possess, or will soon acquire,
the power to do so.
The good heart and well-informed
mind viii soon give grace to the de-
meanor, or will SO abundantly atone for
the want of it, that its absence will never
be noticed
Besides, the ladies-that is, most of
them-like man who is simple in his
manners, provided that they see that
there is substance and worth in him.
Graceful manners and ready wit are good
as far as they go.
But be sure of this, oh, bashful,
blushing youth, that in the society of
ladies and of men, you will pass in the
long run for what you are worth-no
more, no less.
The art of pleasing, therefore, is moth
ing more than the art of becoming an
honest, kind, intelligent and high
minded man. Such man, be he grace
full as Chesterfield, or awkward as Cali
ban, all worthy women trust and love.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1877-11-08

IT is significant of the prestige of the
magisterial Office in England. that the
highest men in the land are proud to
accept the Craftsmanship of the Board of
County Magistrates. Thus, Lord Sails
bury, Secretary for India, is Chairman
of the Middlesex Magistrates, and Lord
Derby, Foreign Secretary, has just been
elected to the same office in Lancashire.
There are some twenty Middlesex JUS
tees who work, all unpaid, harder than
many men with handsome salary.
Jails, lunatic asylums, industrial schools,
reformatories, etc., are the objects of
their ambition. Probably England is
the only country in the world where so
much work is done gratis.
