Military Shooting.
[From the Saturday Review

Good military shooting requires three
things-the ability to hit an object when the
distance is known, the ability to make good
guess at the distance, and the ability to COM
bine these two powers in circumstances re-
sembling those of actual warfare. No pains
seem to be taken to make an English soldier
perfect in any one of these elements. In the
first place, the amount of practice at the tar
get is very much less than it ought to be-
Many skilled volunteers fire, it is said as
many as 1000 rounds in the year aud none as
few as 200. The regular soldier fires 90
rounds year-that is little over 500 rounds
in his whole time with the colors. This is not
enough to make him good shot, even at a
fixed target with the proper decoration of
bulls-eyes and rings. But supposing that
these 80 rounds were enough for this pur-
pose and that an English soldier did learn
reserve how to fire at target with reasona-
BILE probability of hitting it, he would have
mastered only tho rudiments of military
shooting The targets at which he will have
to fire on campaign will not be fixed. He
must dismiss all thought of the familiar mark
ing from his mind, and learn to fire at any
object, however inconspicuous, which pro-
misses to be, or to belong to an army. More
than this he will have to ascertain for him
self how far off the object is, and to sight his
rifle accordingly, and to do all this amid the
excitement, probably the wholly new excite
ment, of battle. No kind of training can
give him the experience he needs in this lat
ter respect, but he is not even given the ex-
perience which, with a little expense and
trouble, might be brought within his reach.
The practice at the target is pretty nearly all
the practice he gets, and practice at the target
leaves him just where he was as regards fir
ing when skirmishing. Major Daubeney sug-
gests that the proper targets for soldiers
would be dummies placed behind rocks or in
hollows or on the side of hill. in positions
as nearly as possible resembling those in
which q flesh and blood enemy would be dis.
covered II the men were then to advance
firing to within certain distance of their
supposed foes +he condition of the dummies
when the halt ~ sounded would be an ex-
celIent test of their proficiency. The sugges-
ton is so simple that the wonder is that it
should be necessary to offer it. That soldiers
should be accustomed to the mimic warfare
of sham fight in which they do nothing but
blaze away will, blank cartridge and be deni-
ed the mimic warfare in which they would be

The Crying of Sunday Newspapers.
20 the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Some weeks ago you published in your
paper an article on the annoyance of crying
newspapers on Sunday, and for three or four
weeks there was marked improvement.
But week ago Sunday and last Sunday it
was the same old cry again. The New York
papers are the worst, as they get here about
10 o'clock, just as every church-goer is start
ing for meeting. Last Sabbath L noticed six
boys on Clark and Humphrey streets. all
crying at the top of their voices: 'New
York Times Herald. and San !'' and after
the services had commenced at the East
church, the windows and door being open,
they twice passed crying their papers in the
same way. Now, is there no remedy for this?
No Sunday law that needs to be enforced
If men must have Sunday paper why not
subscribe for it and have it delivered quietly,

[From the Carson (Nev.l Appeal

'I want to tell you how my child's life

Appeal Office yesterday 'You don't mind
an item with a snake in it, do you?''
Hearing no reply, the old man continued:
Last Tuesday I was coming down
from the lake with my little girl, when 1
stopped the horse and got out to get drink
at spring my bottle having given out.
While 1 was drinking the horse got fright
ened and dashed down the road with the
child in the wagon. 1 only have twelve girls,
sir, and wouldn't spoil the set for worlds.
Well, gave up the horse and child for lost,
but I followed them up, and presently
found the horse right on the edge of preci-
pice, at a dead standstill He couldn't
move an inch. When got closer I thought
that strap had caught round his fetlock and
one end had also caught round a tree. I

have snapped the snake clear in two. I got
the horse away from the prec1pice. And 1
might as well tell you the whole truth The
snake wasn't over five feet long, for when I
took the strain off he came right back to his
natural size. You know how elastic snake

General Sherman rarely opens his mouth
in public without saying something, and his
recent remarks to the West Point cadets
were interesting and sensible. "There is, :"
said he among other things, "a good deal of
nonsense talked about this Academy, but the
nonsense about its aristocracy is the greatest
of ALL You should not listen to this. You
should personally bear testimony that you are
simply fair representatives of American youth.
Don't look down on citizens, for they have
paid to educate you, will pay you for doing
your daily work, and they are the foundation
of our government This is good and timely
advice The citizens have no admiration for
the aristocracy of the army.

be beaten and wounded, but not killed" A
correspondent of the Neate Freie Presse of
Vienna, writing from Kew, says: 1.-THE en-
tire bazaar in this place, containing over 600
shops, was plundered. The merchandise

ANOTHER FATAL STROKE
In the vicinity of Reistertown the storm
was particularly severe, and about three
miles from the town two people were struck
by lightning. One of these, Louis Aler, a
young man working on a farm, was struck
down while standing in a field and instantly
killed. 1t was in the early part of the
storm. and boy who was working with him
asked him to stop work ana go to the house.
This Aler refused to do, saying that he did
not think the storm would last, and hardly
had the words left his lips, when the light
ming flashed around their heads and dazzled
them so that they both fell to the ground.
Only one of them rose and that was the boy,
who was badly scared, but not in the least in
Jured. Near the same place colored woman
was struck by the lightning, but was not Sc
riously injured. The same flash tore away

lea with their two trains, one in and one out in

A Barn Full of People Struck by the
subtle FIuid-Four Persons Killed and
Several Others Injured.
From the New York Herald
BALTIMORE, Md, June 1O.-The particu-
lars of the fatal disaster by lightning which
occurred yesterday morning at the farm OF
Basil G. Benson, in Anne Arundel county,
have been received here. A number of men,
women and children, mostly Bohemians, en-
gagged in picking Strawberries, had taken
shelter from the storm, which came up about
IL o'clock, in an old frame shanty used by
them during the season as their quarters.
There were fifteen or twenty in the. building.
engaged in changing their wet garments for
dry clothing, when the fatal bolt struck the
building. The electric fluid passed down the
brick chimney and struck John Otis, who,
with his wife and infant son and daughter
Matilda, aged thirteen, was standing near the
doorway.
AN AWFUL VISITATION.
He was STOPPING over fastening his shoe,
and was in the act of upbraiding his daugh-
ter for some triaing offence whom report
was heard, and the next instant Otis fell over
on the floor corpse. slight mark on the
right side of the head was the only sign of
injury visible. His daughter was the next
victim, the lightning striking her on the left
shoulder as it glanced from the father, pass
ing down the side to below the thigh and
burning her in fearful manner. She also
fell to the ground dead. The panic-stricken
spectators watched the fluid as it flashed
about the place, keeping close to the ground
and striking the feet and legs of several pres
ent, until it took an upward direction and
struck boy, Franciscus Bryerniski, aged
eight years, who was sitting on cot beside
his mother and sister Annie, aged thirteen
years The lightning struck the right side Of
the face, near the temple, and passed down
the right side of the body to below the knee,
leaving a,purple scar along its course and
completely burning the flesh from the shoul-
der. The child fell over into his mothers
lap and expired instantly.
TERRoR-sTRICKKN PEOPLE.
Both the mother and daughter were affect
ed by the shock and the girls limbs were
paralyzed The lightning then seemed to re-
enter the chimney, when it disappeared.
The utmost CONSERVATION and terror were
caused by the appalling disaster, and some of
those present were almost crazed with fear
and excitement. Many others were injured
by the shock, among them Mary Gerleskie,
aged ten years, daughter of George Gerles-
kie of No. 106 Lancaster street, was serious
ly burned about the back and loins. Mrs.
Otis, wife of the man killed, and infant, were
injured about the legs and feet. Joseph

cially appropriate yesterday.

The value of scientific and industrial educa-
ton is illustrated by the demand for gradu-
ates of schools where such education is given.
Thus, of the twenty eight young men who

Agricole des Etats- -Unis'' has been formed in
Paris with the object of seeking in America
compensation for the losses which French
agriculture has suffered by the importation
of American wheat and beef. By way of
furthering this laudable endeavor, the COM
pany has purchased about 100000 acres of
land in Texas at the modest price of $23 an
acre. The yearly return which this land is
expected to yield to the company is about

there are two seasons in Texas. ''From No
vember to May is the season of wheat, and
from May to November is the season of corn.
The country is of surprising fecundiry, and
is traversed by the great railroad of San
Francisco" Texas is yet in its infancy, the
projectors say, but that is precisely the
psychological hour at which intelligent
capitalists must reach it to wrest from the
soil all it can render to the hand of man.
For the two seasons the profit on the wheat
is to amount to $21 per acre. and the corn
fields to produce 800. 70 per acre.
