ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS

Delights I'm as his dearest toy,
And flourishes I'm guilcless joyp
The pistol.
What Skaters then HIS little hand.
And sends him to the Happy Land
To Join the bright angelic bandr
The pistol.
What is Il that the youth so gay
Points at his sister Just in play,
And never with intent To slayr
Tho pistol.
What Is Il, 20 HIS great surprise,
That shoots her right between the eyes,
And sends her sailing TO the skiesr
Tho pistol.
What Is IL, I'm crowded street.
Policemen pull when roguos they meet,
To stop the rascars flying fcctY
The pistol.
What is Il, reckless and untamcd,
That misses him at whom It's aimed,
While some one else is killed or maimcd2
The pistol.
What is IL that, with deadly will,
For months will lie so snug aud still
That no one fancics II would killp
The pistol.
What is IL that at last picked up,
Or carelessly allowed To drop,
Some precious breath will surely stopY
The pistol.

Armies Ancient and Modern.

Armies are now so organized that
they can keep the field without the in
Permission of the seasons; they can be
moved great distances with extreme
CELEBRITY; they are furnished with terrible
means of destruction. the formidable in
ventions of modern science; they are
trained to march, to maneuvcr, and to
fight with an efficacy which, in the days
OF Froissart, would have seemed beyond
the capacity of man, and they are COM
posed of multitudes which Du Cues
elm or Talbot would have pronounced
impossible. On the other hand, civil
cation has made the natural defenses of
a country weaker; the multiplication of
roads and bridges has facilitated the
advance of an enemy; the diminution of
the power and numbers of fortrcsses
has had like result, and the improves
ment of agriculture, by increasing the
means of subsistence for an invading
army, has operated i'm the same direc-
ton. War in the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries was carried on in very differ
ent fashion, and in character and effects
was wholly dissimilar. Armies were
still, in the main, feudal militia; they
were on foot only few weeks in sum-
mcr; their movements were ptiably
slow and limited: their artillery and
arms were cumbrous and feeble; their
operations were rude, imperfect, and
seldom produced decisive effects, and
compared with the hosts of the present
day, they were no more than a handful
of men. Again, n country in those days
presented great and various obstacles TO
an invader; the roads were few and
bad, and the large rivers were bridged
only at wide intervals; every avenue was
guarded by feudal castles. and every
town was kind of fortress; woods and
marshes barred an invaders progress;
and, owing to a backward state of hus-
bandry, n hostile army was often unable
TO obtain supplies in its line of march,
and was paralyzcd or compelled to re-
treat. Offensive operations are thus
favored to an extraordinary degree in
modern war; the obstinate and pro-
tracted wars of defense which were
wagcd, occasionally with complete sue
cess, even down to the eighteenth CEN
fury, have become altogether things of
the past. Edinburgh Rccieto.

The Trespassers' Attorney Makes a
Few Points in Their Favor.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Mr. K. A. Smith,
counsel for Payne and the Oklahoma invad-
ers, to-day filed document addressed to At
torney General Brewster, at the department
of justice, calling attention to an act of con-
gress approved Jan, 6, 1888, which, it is
claimed, has been overlooked or defled in the
proceedings against Payne and his associ-
ates. This act provides for the holding Of
terms OF the United States court at Wichita,
Kansas, and it is commended by the counsel
for Payne that the judicial authority of that
court extends over the territory which Payne
invaded. The document claims that Payne
should have been arraigned at Wichita. 1t
also sets forth that Payne and his followers
are anxious for speedy trial, but that they
are held as prisoners and deprived of
the privilege of a hebeas corpus at the in
stance of rich cattle corporations, whose In
terest they have threatened by attempting to
settle the country. The attorney general is
urged to direct his subordinates to see that
those men have all legal rights to which they
are entitled. A letter received here from
Payne says that himself and associates are
kept in Cherokee county, across the river
from Fort Smith, to prevent the possibility
of writ of hebeas corpus. He says they
could have reached Fort Smith by the rail-
road in one day, but it would have taken
them through juridicial territory wherein
they could have appealed for writs of hebeas
corpus, and it was the determination fthe
authorities to deny them any such privileges.
