The CossaClls as Cavalry.

There is a great difference Of opinion among
Russians as to the merits of Cossacks as cay
airy. They are regarded by some as the true
type of the cavalry that alone is competent
to cope with the difficulties encountered in
modern warfare. This opinion is founded on
the distinguishing characteristics of that
class, viz, promptness, endurance, independ-
ence, keen sense Of location and natural in
telligence Others, and especially the regular
cavalry, look upon them with little favor,
for they consider them lacking in subordina-
ton, reliability and steadfastness; in fact,
they regard these wild borsemen as possessing
more than the ordinary amount of shyness in
advancing against infantry fire, and believe
them fit only TO pursue demoralized and re-
treating foe. According 10 these different
views the one would have the CoSsack irreg-
ular cavalry strictly drilled, brought into
discipline and instructed in the methods Of
the regular service, while the other insist
that the nearer the regular cavalry is made
to approach the Cossack type the more effi-
cient it is. The correct solution of the diff
Guilty lies between these viewS-Capt. John

The Tele graphs lightning Arrester."

To the uIinitiated it is great puzzle how
the dangers of lightning are averted where
there are SO many conductors of electricity
as in telegraph Office. More than 2,00O
different wires come into the Western Union
building, and run more or less directly to the
desks of the operators. Even when less
electric attractions are wanting, most people
confess to certain feeling of insecurity
when the elements rage and wake up terrify-
ing flashes of forked fury. Nearly half the
operators are young women and they may
be expected to share the general sentiments
of their sex concerning this uncertain and
wicked looking force. But science has pro-
yided an answer to this, as well as to almost
all other puzzles which stand in the way of
human progress
Every sire, as it enters the building,
passes through the bottom of a long narrow
board, and then again through it at the top.
This board is lightning arrester. If the
current is heavy, its first effect is to deprive
of it of much of its force Should even this
fail to deprive the current of its fatal power,
and it passes on to the top Of the board, it
touches q spring which drops instantly and
shuts of ali connection with the operating
room. The spring is called the plush mag
net, and beyond it no overcharge OF light
ming, whether proceeding from a storm or
from contact with other wires, can possibly
so. Absolute security from outside cleo
trical influences is thus insured. The wires
proceed directly from the street TO the
switchboard in the operating room, where
they are stopped The wires attached to the
machines in the room all run to this board,
and connections are established there With
the through lines.-New York Tribune.

A Valet as 4 Bopus Lord.

There was a horsey young Englishman
going down to Newport on the same boat
With me last summer. We struck up an ac-
Guaintance in the barroom, and dined side
by side. Among the attractions of the boat
We're number of horses and dogs that were
being carried from New York to the summer
city, and we went to look at them Strolling
about among them was a dandifed young
man who might have been the owner of them
all for the airs he put on. 1t was delicious to
see the way in which he bossed the deck
hands and virtually took possession of that
part of the boat. 1t was also delicious to see
his hand go up to his hat and his manners go
down on their knees when he caught sight of
my companion. When we left him, his
master said: "Your Internal climate seems
to have got into the head of that fellow Of
mine. doubt but I'll have to let him set up
for gentleman on his own account"
Last month met my Engishman at the
Hoffman, and over a grog be remarked, ;.

boatg"
told him did, and he laughed.
"Gad" said he, "he boned two boxes of
clothes from me and pocketful of jewelry,
anu tUc neAG L VI ElI11 ue was passing
for an Irish lord here in New York He's
got nigger to wait on him, and I hear he
licks him every day"
''Why don't you show him upw asked
"What good would it do'" said he "He's
bound to show himself up pretty soon, and
it's fun to watch him"
Sure enough, last week saw note in
fashionable paper detailing how society had
been imposed on by another bogus lord, and
how the lady who had introduced him had,
it was understood, given him money enough
to 60 to California, and spare her further
modification by his presence here. Judge
my amazement, then, when / called on my
Englishman today, to be received, with lofty
politeness, by this very gentlemans gentle
man, back again in servitude.
''Do you want him to steal the rest of your
personal propertyr asked my friend.
''He don't dare" replied that philosophical
citizen of the world Il lick him every day
now, and have promised TO break his head if
l catch him at any tricks. And, / say"-
''Eh?"
"You'd never imagine how he gets even"
"How does he9'

the stable and thumps one of the boys there"

How the Pennsylvania Boys Got Ahead
OF the Extortionate Sutler.
The regiment was next sent to Fort Craig
In a few days they were assigned to Gen.
Sigei's command, and they set out on the
march for Fairfax Court House, hungry and
eager to reach their destination. no ratlons
had been issued before starting. Soon after
passing Anandale staff officer rode up to
Col. Heenan and directed him to halt the
regiment on the spot and await orders The
officer was covered with gold lace and wore
an immense saber. His spurs were miniature
cart wheels and he gave his orders to the
colonel in broken English
Soon a suffers wagon appeared coming
from Sigel's headquarters. The boys thought
they were IN for feast, and wondered why
Sigel was so thoughtful of their wants. The
sutler, too, thought he was in for a feast,
having hungry regiment with full pockets
fresh from the Quaker City. One dollar
a pound for cheese and other provisions
at like rates At the first shock Of
such prices trade fell off, but, soldier
like, the men parted with their money
to appease their appetites. Az business grew
brisker the sutler could not tako the time to
pat the money pouring in SO fast into his wal
let, so be raised UP the seat and slid the
money under it. A keen eyed sergeant in
Company soon discovered this improyised
till and secretly cut a slit in the curtain
When the sutler would rise up to deliver his
wares, the sergeant would thrust in his arm
and draw out the money from under the
cushion seat Business now grew brisk, and,
as the sergeant literally distributed the
money around among the boys, they hushed
their grumblings and bought everything at
any price.
When the sutler first discovered his loss
was never known, but the regiment had
hardly reached their camp ground outside Of
Fairfax Court House when the same glittering
staff officer who had halted them in the road
came galloping up end in angry tones de-
manded to know where the colonel was to be
found. He found him, and angrily told Col
Heenan that Sigel would have him dis
missed from the service fer permitting his
men to rob the sutler. "Well," said Heenan,
in language decidedly pointed, ''let him try
it. I'm sorry didn't let the men shoot the
- thief" Disguised, the big sword and its
bearer rode off to headquarters and was seen
