THE RUSSIAN ofFICEIs AND SOL-
DER.

The Russian officer has the splendid
valor of his nationality; he is no brnggart,
but does his fighting us amatter of course,
and as part of the days work, when he is
hidden to do it. As for the Russan private,
regard him as the finest material for
soldier that the soldier producing world, so
far as I AIN acquainted with it, affords. He
is an extraordinary weight-carrying
marcher, tramping on mile after mile with
good heart, with singular freedom from
reliance on sustenance, and with good
of the longest foodless march. He never
grumbles; matter s must have come to
bad pass, indeed, when be let's loose his
tongue in adverse comment on his su-
periors. Injured to priyation from his
childhood, lie is hard man to starve, and
will live on rhtions, or Glance installments
of rations, at which the British barrack-
room Cur would turn up his nose. His
sincere piety according to his marrow lights
his whole-heared devotion to the Gar
which is ingraned into his mental system,
not the result of process of reasoning
aud his constitutional courage, combine to
bring it about that he faces the casualties
of the battle. field with willing, prompt,
und long sustained bravery. He needs to
he led, however; not SO much because OF
the moral encouragement which Il gallant
leader imparts, but because his reasoning
faculties, fol lack of education, being
comparatively dormant, he does not know
what TO do when All unaccustoMed or un-
looked for emergency occurs. He is desti-
tute of perc pton when left to himself.
Somebody must do the thinking for him,
and impurt to him the result of the process
in the shape of an order; and then he can
he trusted while physical power lasts, to
strive his pthest to fulfill that order. But
If there is nobody in front of him or with
in light of him, to undertake the mental
part of the work, the Russian soldier gets
lazed. Even in his bewilierment, how
ever, he is proof against panic, and we
saw him with sore hearts at Plevna, Oh the
30th of July, standing up to be killed in
piteously noble stubbornness of ignorance,
rather than retreat without the orders,
which there was none to give. The Turk

time flanking fleet could be sent up the
Potomac, which could easily polish off
the western section of the city with its
public edifces.
1t will now be understood why it be-
comes necessary to spend so large
portion of the eighteen or
twenty millions of dollars of annual
naval appropriations in and around
Washington; and how it occurs that
there should exist the present interne-
cine war amongst the vast body Of naval
officers to whom the defense of the city
is confded. The two parties belligerent
are the line officers on the one hand and
the staff officers on the other, and the
feud all grows out of question of braid
about two inches of gilt braid worn on
the coatsleeve. The naval staff officers
arrogate to themselves this bit of braid,
and have procured that the ancient mar
iner of the Wabash, Admiral Thompson,
should issue a circular ordering the line
officers to abstain entirely from lace upon
their new uniform. A line officer and
staff officer, be it known, are chickens
of different feather. The duty of the
former is to scratch and work for liy-
ing, while the latter, from the serene al
titude of the official dunghill, supervises
the work, and this is wherefore the latter
have influenced the naval fgurehead to
issue said circular.
For few days the war ragged furious
ly. But for time at least the country
may be relieved of apprehension. The
circular has been suspended and the line
officers are given time to collect sigma
lures to petition begging the right to
wear the braid.

RUSSIAN FIRE COMPANIES.

A letter from st. Petersburg speaks OF
AN interesting parade OF the Fire D'part-

best in Europe: ....
Every department in the city has Its

paraded recently, each with different flag.

SERIOUS NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.

In the absence of anything else to do,
bitter feud, capable of being famed at
any moment into a dangerous flame, has
broken out amongst the naval officers in
Washington. In order to clearly under
stand the critical situation of affairs in
our navy it will be necessary to 60 into
some details, explanatory of the necessity
Of retaining a large naval force and quite
a body of orse-marines in and about the
National Capital. AS every highly cul-
tivated American who reads Don Piatt's

JACOB VHLINGER, tried at Chicago
for the murder of his wife, proved such
IN exceedingly strong case of hereditary
insanity that it only seems strange how
any woman of ordinary caution could
ever have been induced to marry him.
His uncles on his mothers side were so
crazy that they would take to the woods
and roam about like wild beasts for
weeks at time. A number of his cous-
ms were confirmed lunatics, and Jacob
himself was considered of uusound mind
from his birth. Having his skull broken
and his Uranium patched up by doctors
on several occasions did not by any
means increase his intelligence; and
when his feeble faculties finally concen-
trated on settled desire to send his
wife to the land of shadows, she should
have taken the hint and parted company
with so dangerous lunatic. The ply.
sicians clearly established that he is now
such a wreck, mentally and physically
that he can not long live, and the jury
rendered a verdict of his insanity with
out leaving their seats.

IT looks very much as if the country
is to be again afflicted with John A. Lo-
gan in the United States Senate. The
Republicans have small majority in
the Illinois Legislature, and it is said
that Logan will go into the party caucus
with a majority of the members pledged
% his support Logan is pronounced
ireenback Republican, and this, with
his power of manipulation, and the influ-
ance of an accomplished and very tai
ented wife, it is believed will give him a
majority in the Republican caucus. Ill
inois Republicanism, through the infu-
ance of the InterOcean, has strong
.ncture of Greenbackism about it, and
this statesman, who boasts that he "de-
voted several weeks study to finances"
will be proper representative for it, but
that the party proper and the people of
the country should be afflicted with
such a selection, is great misfortune.

An Innocent Slayer.

The sequel to an almost sensational tragedy in November last, was given at Columbia, s. O., in the acquittal of Miss Sallie Pauline Wood, charged with the murder of Samuel Henry. The evidence showed that Henry had deliberately de- signed and attempted the seduction of Miss Wood, who is a very pretty coun- try girl, about eighteen years of age, and that he had threatened openly to &C., complish his purpose at all hazards.
 On the 9th of November he according ly visited the house at which she was living, and, after meeting with prompt refusal of his improper proposals, at tempted by violence to effect his object. A short struggle ensued, when the fren- zied girl, suddenly escaping from his grasp, secured pistol and shot her ene- my dead where he stood. The jury, after a short absence, returned yer. dict of not guilty. Local interest in the affair is heightened by the fact that the would-be ravisher was 8 married mar and we'll connected, while the girl who slew him in defence of her honor IS lit tie more than child and an orphan.
