ENGLISH ARMY BUGLE CALLS.
How the Men Learn to Remember the
Five Different Notes.


Five Different Notes.
Considering the length of some of the
calls, it may surprise the reader TO hear
that there are only five different notes
played ON the bugle, and though that is
the case, the language of the instrument
is not at all limited. A language with
only I've words might be thought easy TO
learn, and yet the different arrange
ments of these 'fWords' sentences. -
as / may call them) are endless.
1t IS, indeed, very neces-
sary part Of IA soldiers training to
learn the language OF the bugIe. and even
unmusical men soon acquire IL.
For, in the first place, the same ''calls"
sound much about the same time each
day. A hungry recruit, for instance,
does not take long 70 RECOGNIZES the ''din-
ner bugle," nor does the careless soldier
forget the summons TO extra drill, much
as he might wish 70 do so. The men in
their barrack-rOOms, 700, often associate
words with the notes of the bugle, and
that is help 10 remember the meaning
of the sounds heard.
! will first explain as 10 the instrument
itself, that the notes are all made with
the lip and tongue, there are no keys
used, as is the case with most brass in
struments. They are all notes Of the com.
mon chord; and, although bugles are al
ways in the key OF fiat, music for them
is written in the key Of 9. IL will be
easily understood that no greater knowl-
edge of the principles OF music is neces-
sary TO play an instrument so limited in
It's capacity; a correct ear, q thorough
acquaintance with time--iOr even
dOted semi-quavers occur frequently
and the power Of learning by heart all the
different calls. are the chief essentials.
Toe authorized course Of instruction for a
bugler is 10 begin by playing the lowest
note with AL the variations Of time OF du-
ration. The same exercises are then
taught on the second note, G; these two
notes are then combined in "A variety Of
ways, after which the original OBe-note
exercises are taken on the third note Of
the buglc; and, perfect in that note. ex-
ercises are played with the three notes
combined, and 50 Oh with the others.

The news that comes from khartoum Is of the
most distressrul character. Gordon is dead,
killed by a treacherous stab in the back, and
the garrison are butchered or enslaved. Even
had Khartoum been relieved. England would
have had task OF the greatest difficulty still
before her in the pacification OF the Soudan. but
the loss OF that city has now multiplied those
difficulties hundred fold. England stands con-
fronted to-day with a crisis only less serious
than that which was prec!pitated by the Sepoy
rebellion in 1857. And. in some respects she
Is not so well prepared for an emergency Of this
sort as then.

Congress, in undertaking to gobble up ali the

with the dedicatOry ceremonies OF the Wash

and honor of the construction OF that shaft,
made the singular mistake of providing Ia the
joint resolution for rather more monument
medals than just one each for the senators and

proper to omit the members OF the Washington
