Fortunately. the Cossaeks were . CREST
deal more frightened of us than We were
Of them, and they bolted after . few
minutes desultory fire, whereupon I sug-
gestsd to the commanding officer that we
might return with some show of reason,
IS in case Of meeting anybody who would
and could fight, We should be somewhat
sadly of SO badly armed. On returning,
Osmsn laughed IS related the matter t.
him, and said, but what can dot l
have no sshres to give; they must do
without them. They must do the best
they can, as we all have to do here" Still
it must not be supposed that he left
things to chance. Many of our military
authorities win be interested to hear that
Osman Pasha tried an experiment with
mounted infantry which gave the very
best results. Each Turkish infantry bat
talliOn boasts some 30 or 40 horses, which
carry packsaddles, and thercupon the
and the slender commissariat
of the men. Osman, having found that
his cavalry, without sabres and with only
Winchester rifles, whose effective range
might be measured at 400 yards Or there
abOuts, had not SO much effect on the
Cossacks as could have been desired, or
dered one day some thousand or ~ Of
these packhorses to be mounted, each by
= good Infantry man armed with Mar
TIM Henry rife, the range of which
weapon is fully 1000 yards. Getting his
men out, he ssut them away intn the
plain in front Of the position on the river
Vid, and very soon large number of
as he had expected, began to
hover ABOUT. They took the force for
irregular cavalry, and, knowing the capa-
bilities of the Winchester rifle, ap-
preached to within about 600 yards of
Osman's mounted infantry with great
feeling Of security. Quickly dismount-
ing. the foot soldiers ran little way for
ward, and, without more ado, poured a
volley into the astonished COssacks. The
effect was electrical. Such Of the Cars
horsemen q were not killed made of
with the utmost celebrity. They never
had such surprise before. In like man.
ner Osman Pasha made very good use
twice Or thrice of a couple of little
mountain batteries, which he used to keep
very near the headquarter camp. He
used to like to send them into action
with the infantry, aud then suddenly open
on the enemy at close range with them.
The enemy's appreciation OF this style OF
warfare was to be gathered from the way
in which they left the field to Osmsn and
his mountain batteries.-Loadon Tsls-

A SrHADFAsT MAN., The following
incident shows the noble stesdtastness
and courage OF a true man, but 1t also
exhibits the cruelty of q public judg-
ment founded on mere suspicion:
