A Difficult Drill.

At the West Point military school the
cadets are taught to ride bareback, to ride
without stirrups, to jump hurdles, to use
the pistol and sabre while riding, to "cut
heads TO right and left" and other feats.
The heads are leather balls about four or
five inches in diameter which are placed
on posts Of various heights. The trooper
moving at a rapid gaIIop must cut these
heads riding to the right and left, and also
cut heads resting on the ground, the last
rather difficult feat when done to the left,
compelling the rider to swing his sabre
over his bride hand and reach down from
= horse sixteen hand high. They also cut
heads with the right and left cut at the
instant of jumping hurdle. The most
sklltul maneuvre is the cutting Of head
upon the ground between two hurdles
placed about forty feet apart, the trooper
riding at full speed and cutting to the
right and left in the interval between leap
ing the hurdles. The trooper is also
taught to turn his horse at full gallop in a
circle four yards in diameter. Most of
these feats Ere \performed in the riding
ball, room about one hundred and nine
y feet long by sixty eight wide, with
tanbark floor. The parade ground is
about three hundred and fifty yards long,
BY one hundred and Gfty in width. Sew
snty five horses are kept in use, the sta
oIes accommodating about one hundred.
The animals are cared for by detach-
nent Of regular soldiers provided for such
'ervice, the cadets being too busy to per-
orm this duty.

A COLORADO DEsERT.-This is story
to illustrate the possibilities Of the Colora
do Desert: "Some three years ago, wan
dering home hunter, having sold out his
rude homestead in Los Angeles county,
rugged up team with a good supply of
yearling nursery trees. seeds, DC, intend
ING to 90 to Arizona, with his wife and two
children. His way was through this des
ert. Resting one day to recruit bis horses
where few bushes offered browsing. bis
children amused themselves digging hole.
The mother noticed tina. the Ioamy sand
was moist In few minutes she drove
crowbar down four feet below the hole and
struck water. A wisp Of straw inserted
brought up by capillary attraction enough
to prove the water good and to quench
thirst. Next day they dug we'll, and at
six feet found water plenty on the third
day. If this miserable soil would grow
anything, we might sqnat here said they.
While debating green spot appeared. 1t
was the horses oats and hay seed which,
with spilled water, had grown to lively
green on the fourth day. Where oats aud
grass grow everything will grow; let US
pitch our tent right here And they did
50. Very rude culture, with water, gave
them in sixty days vegetables enough to
support them for year. From this rude
beginning, see now, 1877, how quickly in
dustry, with tridlng coin, can realize lux
uriant home in a climate which knows no
winter, and where vegetable growth is as
active in December as in April. Already
he has grapes, apples, peaches, and bana-
mas. Alfalfa clover he cuts every month.
Stacks Of hay, cows, sheep, pigs and fowls
make it look like rich farm long estab

A FEMALE HERMw.-We hear quite
frequently of male hermits, but female
hrrmits are more rare. Femininity is gen
-railv but another name for sociability.
and no lively, laxative woman cares to
deprive herself Of the opportunity of min
Cling with the society of her kind. But
awav out in Nevada there exists verita
bic she. hermit, an excentric woman who
has KEEP. goat and sheep ranch for the
past ten or twelve years. She lives alone
10 small cabin, with her goats, sheep
and fowls for her only companions, inva-
riably avoiding all intercourse with white
people as long as she can When her
stock of the necessaries of life is exhaust
ed, she visits the nearest towns to sell a
few dozens Of eggs and chickens, with the
product of which she repIenishes her store
She is quite sociable to the Indians that
wander in that direction, and treats them
kindly always, especially when they are ILL.,
At such times she prepares from noun

Peeps at the Planets.

Neptune, the most remote of the plan
eta in the solar system, is about 1900,
100000 miles from the sun.
1t is supposed that Mercury has noun
tains higher than our Himalayas, and vol
canoes in state of activity.
Out Of all the myriad lights in the heav-
ems, the earth is only visible to the Moon,
Mars, Mercury and Venus.
The Earth is 746 times smaller than
Saturn, and its mean distance from US is
over 81, 100000 miles.
Uranus can never see US at all, as i! is
1853 100000 miles from the sun.
The temperature in Mercury is supposed
to be seven times hotter than our torrid
zone; therefore, if it is inhabited it must
be By people very differently constituted
from ourselves.
1t is believed that Venus has and atmos-
phere much like ours, and mountain peaks
five or six times higher than Teneriffe,
their sides bright with flowers, aud birds
Of brilliant plumage.
The Moon never leaves our globe; there
fore it is called our satellite Though to
US it appears larger than the stars, it is
really smaller than any of them, bu, much
nearer to US.
Astronomers have calculated that the
mountains and extinct volcanoes in the
Moon are higher than any on our earth.
If there were any one on the Moon to
soc it, the earth would appear to them a
magnificent ball. The planets and sun
would move behind it in brilliant sue
cpssion.
Our globe appears to Mars as the mora
ing and evening star.

[From the N. Y. Graphie.1

DEAR MOTHER: L am not making 80
much progress as l expected in my studies.
because there's great deal else to attend
to here. But we have lively times. I
have just returned from the funeral of
Billy Cook. He was shot last Tuesday
because he wouldn't allow the Sophs to
take off his pan:s|oons and paint his legs
red aud green, barber pole fashion. This
is the last degree conferred on the Fresh
men by the sophs. / wish you would
send me six-sh ooter, ono hundred car
tridge., and double -barrelled shot gun.
We amt going to stand any more non-
sense from the Sophs. After prayers thi.
morning our class were all busy making
sand bags. We're putting up barlcads
on the east end Of our building, and in-
tend to mount it with six-pound cannon
ade. The losses in our class have been
pretty heavy this week. John Hilton is
very low with bullet in his stomach,
and Seward Livingstone is not expected to
recover from the stab 10 the side. Jack
RhineIonder is famed for life BY bullet
in the knee, and Sam Astor has lost the
sight of one eye from brickbat. There
isn't whole window left in our college
building. But you wait, mother You
just wait few days and you'll hear some
thing. We're undermining the Sophs'
quarters. We're working day and night.
The tunnel is now l2O yards long. 1t
goes straight over the campus and under
old Prex's building. We've established
communications with his cellar, and tell
you drop Of c|aret OF Burgundy is very
nice to have after afellow's handled pick
and shovel half the night. We shall use
dynamite. Keep shady, mother. There
won't be Soph left by this time next
week. Your sFectionate sou,

The Horrors of War.

What the Pail Mall Gazette ironically
calls "neidents of the holy war of the
Nineteenth Century" are vividly describei
by a correspondent of the Daily Ne1cs
who accompanied the Russian army from
Phi|ippopo'is to Her1nsn|, He saw the
bodies of Bulgarian peasants with terrible
wounds ip the head and neck, sometimes
N utillated and disfgured; women and in
fants, children and old men, both Turkish
and Bulgarian, fallen in the fields BY the
roadside, half buried in the snow, or lying
in the pools of water. It seemed to have
beeu one long battle between the peasants
of both races, in which the dead were
counted equally for each; but while many
of the bodies bore marks of violence and
showed ghastly wounds, the great proper,
tion of the women and children were evi,
IDENTIFY frozen to death, for they lay on the
snow as if asleep, with the flush Of life still
on their faces, and the pink skin of their
feet and hands still unblanched. Side by
side with these, many corpses of old men,
ful! Of dignity even in death, lay stark BY
the roadside, their white beard clotted
with blood, and their helpless hands fallen
upon their breasts. From the muddy wa
ter of the bitches, tiny hands and feet
stretched out, aud baby faces, half covered
with snow, looked out innocently and
peacefully. with scarcely sign ofsuffer'ng
On their features. Frozen at their moth
sr's breasts, they were thrown down into
The snow to tighten the burden of the poor
creatures who were struggling alone in
mortal terror.
