Marksmans!liD in the Army,

The War Department has determined
to improve if possible, the shooting Ca
pacity OF the army. This is 4 good
idea. The army is an expensive de-
partment of the Government. We hire
it to kill people when the occasion de-
mands. For this purpose we furnish it
rifles of the most approved pattern, *
cept when there is Il job in the way, and
someone wants to make 4 little money
in Il fat contract. The curious thing
about our army is that while the only
enemy it is called OF to oppose is with
in u territory and jurisdiction, that
enemy is as 4 rule, rs well, if not bet
ter, equipped in death-dealin@ machine
ry than it is. There is only one way by
which this can be effected, and that is
through corrupt connivance of the In
dian agents. If we had honest agents,
war on the plains would be impossible,
but for solnc reason or another we have
never been able. except in a few rare
cases, to discover the right class of per-
som for this service. If the shooting
standard of the army is to be elevated,
targets will, of course, be needed. The
larger portion of the army is on the
plains and Western forts. If in some
way it could be arranged thattle agents
who live and flourish in this region could
be made to serve in the capacity of tar
gets for the experimental volleys of the
military it would be a great gain all
around.-NcW IOTk Herdld.

A SeuatOr's Racket.

One day in 1864 Senator Zach Chand-
Ter was a passenger on the train from
OwoSSo to Lansing and, strangely
enough. no one in the car had any idea
of his identity. Two men had the seat
behind him, and from talking of war
they drifted to politics, and naturally
enough Chandler name became mixed
up Both men were red-hot against
him. ami directly one of them observed:
Its a wonder to me that some one
doesn't shoot the old blood letter."
'Oh! he'll get his dose yet, and don't
you forget itr' replied the other.
The Senator turned slowly around.
took a good look at both. and then said:
'Gentlemen, please speak a little low
er-I am Senator Chandler myself"
He thought he had them frozen solid,
but he was mistaken. He had scarcely
turned his head when one of them lean
eli forward and replied:
That's all right. pard, if YOU can
beat the conductor with it; but don't
try to stuff us. We met the old chap
back IN Owosso not an hour ago, wait
liz 10 go East, and it cost me SO in
cash and u silver watch to call his hand!

Bound Her Chicks Should Swim.

ducks eggs, and in due time the duck
lin@s We're out and on their way to the
nearest water. Biddy was much alarm
ell at the apparent folly of her brood;
but after Il few days she lost all fear,
and each morning She led them to the
water and patiently waited until they
were done bathing. After Il few weeks
the ducks were able TO take care of
themselves. and the hen WAS set upon
eggs Sc her own Kind. When the chicks
=. N~1ed she had not forgotten
what appeared to be maternal duty
She led her flock TO the water. but to her
surprise not one entered. After some
time spent in talking to them in hen
language, trying to convince them that
it was their duty to 60 into the water.
she became eNaSpcratcd at what looked
like disobedience on the part of her
children, seized them one by one and

The Ring Jules Fayre Wora.

The late Jules Favre in 1851 and again
in 1874 conducted before the French
Court of Appeals the case of the heirs
of n at the pseudo Bourbons, Charles
William Naundortf, who had claimed to
be Charles Louis. Duke of Normandy,
son Of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoin-
ette. When he concluded his plea, the
French Pretender's daughter presented
him with a ring, inscribed with
the figure of a centaur drawing a bow,
which she said belonged to her father,
Louis XVII. This ring NJ. Favre always
wore, and when in 1871 he went to
Frankfort to sign the treaty with Ger
many. Bismarck desired him to seal it
in due form. 'But / have no seal, said
NJ. Favre; Il am not a sovereign"
"But you have a ring there" s!Yes;
but" ''Oh, never mind, it will do"
And SO the treaty OK Frankfort was seal
ed in behalf of the third Republic with
the ring of-possibly-the King of
France.
