THE COssACKs.
as~ they LOCK ANA Fight.


iKischeneff Correspondence Of the N. Y. Herald ]
The Cossacks are divided into several
corps. the Cossacks OF the Don, the
OF Caucasus, etc. Each OF these divi-
sions has a chief, who is called an Alta
man, and holds the rank OF general,
and all the Oossacks OF the empire are
united under single chief, who has the
title OF the "Ataman General" This
latter title always devolves upon the
hereditary Grand Duke. The Uossack
clothes and equips himself, and his uni
form and horse belongs to himself. He
wears large, round. low Gap, made OF
skin from AstrakaH, wide pantaloons
stuffed into his boots, and reaching just
below his knees, the whole covered by q
kind Of overcoat buttoning on the back,
and having three long flaps reaching to
On bis breast, to the left and right,
ridges at each side. In his belt he carries
a pOniard. A baldrick hangs from his
right shoulder and passes to the left
side, where 1t supports q long saber in a
feather scabbard. On his Eack, hang
ing from bandoleer and wrapped In a
case made OF goats skin, he carries his
rifle. The Cossaok always carries lii his
hand whip, with q short lash, which
he calls kinjdl. His horse Is small and
rather ugly, and though he il made Of
good stuff his form Is somewhat angu-
lar. To form an idea OF the Cossack
saddle, imagine an ordinary saddle upon
which would be fastened by a strap a
square leather cushion about four inches
high. This Ia the reason that at first
sight one Is SO much surprised to see
this curious looking cavalier perched up
so high on his saddle. He sticks on his
horses back by sticking his knees into
the animals sides with all his strength,
which gives the legs the appearance Of
a pair Of pincers. The stirrup is an
equally curious thing. The bottom ia
round and thick enough, but from that
up 1t resembles very much one OF those
tin boxes In which preserves are sold,
Ii has been already said that the Cos
sacks horse Ia his personal property,
and it may be added that he turns it to
business account by hiring it out.

The statistics published by the Ger
man government Of the soldiers wound
ed during the late Franco Prussian war
present some interesting statistics of
the risk a man runs who goes into
battle.
Deducting those killed outright and
those concerning whom information is
wanting, the large percentage Of the
wounded who. these statistics show, re-
manned with their corps is remark
Generals, ais; oolonels, Is; inferior
field officers, EST: captains, 1872; sub
alterns, 206: surgeons, etc., Ala;
men, Ill. 1t will be seen that with
the exception OF the lieutenants
and the surgeons, ETC.. the higher the
rank the larger the proportion who &C.
companied the troops. Some light may
be thrown on this fact by bearing in
mind one or two circumstances. One is
that in the present mode OF fighting the
higher the rank the shorter the time to
which an officer is exposed to close
fire, and that, consequently, the large
majority Of wounds from spent bullets
are inflicted on the higher grades.
Another Is that an officer of high rank
is more APT. to cling to his command
than one OF lower rank. A third Is that
engagements for being transported and
tended than the poorer officers. As for
the soldier, he is allowed no option In
the matter.
1t might naturally be expected that in
the infantry large proportion OF
wounds would, owing to the practice OF
seeking cover by lying down, or getting
behind tree, q bank, etc., be received
in the arms, shoulders, neck and head.
The returns show that out OF every 10C

A CHURCH sQUARBLsR
Incrndinry Christianity ON Long Island.
rst Louis Republican, s4fE89}. Il

L5t. Louis Republican, st4} 5,t
Northtield, Long Island, has had a
glorious church fight. It presented a
true picture OF the church militant.
The Independent Methodist Church got
tired Of It's pastor, Rev. Henry Newman
Wright, and the trustees told him he
needn't mind preaching for them any
more. But he refused TO quit. The
trustees told him il he came he would
be excluded from the pulpit. He came
on Sunday, fought his way to the pulpit
and preached. The next Sunday the
trustees got early inside Of the sacred
edifics and locked the doors on the
preacher. He and his party broke
down the doors and scene OF con-
fusion ensued, which Ii is not worth
while to try to describe. Wright
and his party were beaten, and there
was no preaching that day. The next
Sunday the war was to be renewed, but
the sheriff and posse were on the
ground to prevent the threatened COLI
sion among the muscular Christians.
On Monday Mortified had q fire. The
church burst into flames In several
places and was soon burned down, and
while the church was burning passer-
by saw fire kindled under the stoOp OF
Rev. Wright's house. It was O very
promising blaze, but the discoverer,
being a Wright man, informed the
family and the parsonage Was saved.
The church building was worth about
$4,000. 1t was probably the cheapest
way to settle the troubles. But the
trustees did not succeed in smoking the
pastor out Of the parsonage.

steps to build their road to Weatherford

will permit it to lapse, and organize

On thee 17th of January last Robert Dillon,
an aged retired merchant of Chicago, died
leaving fortune of 475, 600. According to bis
will, a friend named Decker was to get $4,000,
| the bslance of the property going to various
other friends. The Public Administrators, how
ever, contests the will on the groupd that it 10
entirely different from what moot Of billions
friends expected, and that he.must have bssn
unduly Influenced or "bulldczed." Meanwhile,
if Mr.. Dillon has any relatives in this section
of the country whom he ignored during life,
we would advise them not to cherish any hard
feelings against him, bot, as true Christians
and loving relatives. to forgive him and put in
their claims to his property at once.
Another and .. far richer man who died re-
Gently, leaving no relations and plenty money,
was Joseph L. Lewis, for many years sta-
TONER and manufacturer Of engraved plates in
New York. He was born in the West Indies
eighty-six years ago, and came to this country
when . mere boy. He served in the Mexican
war, and was 30 enthusiastic patriot that Of

over seventy years Of age, was with great dif.
