TRAINING Al WEST PesNT.

At the West Point militia school
the cadets are taught to ride bareback,
to ride without stirrups, to Jump hur-
dles, TO use the pistol and sabre while
riding, to "cat heads of right and lsft,' =
and other fesls. The heads are leather
balls about four or 6ye inches in diam
eter, which are placed On posts of vari
ous heights The trooper moving at a
rapid gallop must cut these heads rid
ing to the right and left, and also cut
heads resting on the ground, the last a
rather difficult feat when done to the
left, compelling the rider to swing his
saber over his bride hand and reach
down from horse sixteen hands high.
They also cut heads with the right aud
left cut at the same instant jumping a
hurdle. The most skillful maneuver
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 intcrvel between leaping the
hurdles. The trooper is also taught to
turn his horse at fall gallop in a circle
four yards in diameter. Most Of these
feats are performed in a riding hall. a
room about one hundred and ninety
feet long, by sizty-eight wide, with a
tanbark aoor The parade ground is
about three hundred and fifty yards
long, by one hundred and fifty wide.
Seventy-6ve horses are kept in use, the
stables accommodate about ne hundred.
The animals are cared for by detach-
ment of regular soldiers provided for
such service, the cadets being too busy
to perform this duty

Tho Philosopher Of sam Marcos
on the Financial Situation,
the Next Transit of Vrnas,
the Pyramid Of Cheops, Etc.
For the FRss Pass
The newspapers are full Of argu-
meuts on the financial problem; but is
all conjecture with no definite argu-
ment; because it takes moro than
routine bankers, Wall street or trea'
ury science, to comprehend the origin
and workings of the mighty dollar, OF
devil, all the same.
At present the financial or social
problems cannot be settled; but after
tho observations of the next transit OF
theI planet Venus. in 1882, haye been
made, chance will be more favorable.
There is a certain passage in the
Cheops pyramid with an angel OF near
ly the dimensions of the suns paralax,
according to the transit of 1863. A
comparison with the transit of 1874 and
1882 will throw some light on the sub
ject Of where we are drifting to-
According to the Bible, the world has
had ends and beginnings. Solomon
says, There is nothing new under the
SUM-" The people who built the pyra-
mids did not build them for time. but
for eternity. 1t is customary to put
the number of the year on the corner
stones of public and other buildinls !;
but if the earth should resolve into
chaos. and remain SO few thousand
years, as it has done before, the iuhab.
itants of future creation could not
get any sense out of A, ID and o cypher.
The pyramid builders had larger
comprehension OF astronomy. time and
eternity. The earth is moving to aud
from the sun at intervals Of ten thous-
ands Of years, as regular as clockwork
OF the movements of living organism.
Children comprehend hours, days
and weeks; common grown people
months and years; men of learning, de
cades aud centuries; but the builders Of
the pyramids knew the beginning and
end of their world. by measuring the
solar paralax at the transits of the
planets over the disc Of the sun, and
thereby preserving the time of their
event Of their existence 10 the universe
for eternity. 1t is nonsense to assert
that arts and sciences have grown con-
,rsu,ly from the building Of the Egyp-
