Methods of Great CAPTAINS.

In the seventeenth century Gustavu
Adolphus introduced light cannon thst
could be drawn by two horses and be
made great use of them in connection
with his cavalry and was uniformly
victorious. His armies were organized
on a basis of two-thirds infantry, one
third cavalry. The invention of the
bayonet soon afterwards caused the total
abandonment of the pikemen. Cavalry
for charging again went out of reputs
until Charles Mi. Another great
Swedish soldier lightened his horsemen
OF their brcastplates and always charged
sword in hand with unvarying success.
In the meantime, Frederick the Crest
came on the field with much improved
light artillery and cavalry force brought
up to q great state of efficiency. he
was one of the greatest captains of the
age. Napoleon, who came next, paid
great attention to his cavalry and used it
with high degree of success against

And the dear close face of earth.
There is laughter in the snowflake.

The Yinp1ing Gymnasium.

According to our announcement OF last
week, the Yinglng Gymnasium of Western
MARYLAND College was formally opened on
Tuesday evening last. Although it has been
mentioned in these columns from time to
time, few words of description seem neces-
sary.
The building was designed by jackson c.
Colt, Of Baltimore, and is beautiful one
from any point of view Its foundation
dimensions are 4OxSO feet, and two oetagonal
towers furnish front and rear entrances and
additional space The first story, to the
gallery floor, is of brick, and the remainder
is of shingles, put on with the alternate ones
of each row projecting. These are tastetully
painted in buff and bro yn. The basement,
not vet finished, is to be fitted up with bowling
alley. baths and lockers. On the main floor
to the gallery the brick wall is left in its
natural color. Above the gallery, where the
running track is located, the interior is
finished in wainscoatiug of Georgia pine and
open work of hard wood. The graceful
arches of the beams and braces give to the
interior a Gothic appearance, and add greatly
to the beauty of the room. The equipment
of gymnas6c and calisthenic apparatus Is
quite complete, and altogether the gymnasium
is as fine as that possessed by any college of
the same standing.
MISS lluSiIuB. iue Stueiuus uOuOif SiaN
uated at Western Maryland in the class of
II, aud a tasty mural table of marble, de-
signed by Miss Rinehart, of the Art Depart
ment, placed near the entrance, commend
rates this fact.
The physicians of Westminster were the
first to make an inspection of the building,
which they did by invitation of President
Lewis at p. m. on the day of opening.
They expressed themselves as highly pleased,
and confident Of the great amount Of good
in the way Of healthfulness and fine physique
to be derived by the students from their
training in this department.
At 40 p. m. there was an exhibition before
a small but very much interested and enthu
siastic audience. 1t consisted of fancy
wand exercises and club swinging
by the Students and Of gymnastic perform
ances by four of the best gymnasts OF Baltl-
more-Prof Schultz and Mr.. Hadyu, of the
\. NJ. c. A. Gymnasium, and the Miles Bros,
Of the Baltimore Athletic Association. They
used parallel bars, flying rings, waiting horse
and horizontal bar, and gave fine exhibition
Of tumbling. The exercises were all loudly
applauded, and the boys made the building
ring with the college yell after the speech of
