The Injury TO Poor Boy in the Pittsburg Dis
aster Opens up Sad Story.

asteT "opens up Sau Story
The wounding of boy at the Wood St. &C
cident, Pitts5urg Pa, on Wednesday, Jan. 8, led
to the discovery of a romantic war story.
The boy, Richard Dabney, was but slightly
injured, but it led to an investigation of the
circumstances of his family, which resides at
800 Fifth avenue. The father, T. S. Dabney,
was found to be almost dead from lung trouble.
He gave lengthy history of his life, the gist
of which is as follows:
At the opening of the rebellion he was a
member of wealthy Virginia family, cousin
of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and also related to Gen
Stonewall Jackson. Hostilities had just about
commenced when Dabney married a young
lady, a member of a wealthy and aristocratic
family of Richmond. The husband decided to
cast his lot with the North, and his wife sadly
but faithfully acquiesced. Dabney, as the Navy
register shows, became an Acting Assistant
Paymaster in the United States Navy; partici-
pated in the battle of Mobile, under Admiral
Farragut; lay sick in Pensacola hospital, and
was afterward sent by Hon. Gideon Welles with
a feet to South America to protect American
interests.
Dabney witnessed the Spanish bombardment
of Valparaiso, and was mustered out of the
service in March, 1867. He served in eleven
engagements during the rebellion, and his
proud Virginia relatives, and those of his wife
have never forgiven them. Efforts at reconcil-
iation have completely failed. Dabney, his
wife and child came to Pittsburg six years ago.
They are in destitute condition, which the
proud wife would not confess Dabney is out
of work and almost too weak to talk.

Texas GRIP.

Some lie prone, and others yet believe that
they get greater steadiness of their arms in a
back position.
Each score is the total of five consecutive
shots at the same range. Each hit in the
bull's-eye, called " Bull or" Bull's-eye," counts
5; between the bulls-eye and inner ellipse,
called Center" counts 4; between the inner
and outer ellipses, called Inner" counts g.;
between the outer ellipse and limits of the
target, called Outer" counts 2; misses count O..
Although firing the same gun, with same
quality and weight of powder and ball and at
the same range, yet the light, temperature and
force and direction of the wind are elements
that should be carefully considered by the
marksman before each shot.
/ find that space forbids me to write more of
this subject, for / have found it interesting in
studying the matter up, but / could give half
dozen columns more of this that | believe
would be interesting to every conrade of the
old time of the rebellion. 1t may be that at
some future time | will write more of this
but meantime l will read up so that l will
be better enabled to tell of what ! believe will
make the soldiers of our next war-God forbid
that one may come in my time better marks
men than our gallant comrades of the last one.
Ny wonder is now that SO many were hurt.

exactness Of rhythm. The other complaint he
makes is that they, the officers of the Regular
Army, taught the troops nothing whatever of
how to use the arms placed in their hands for
offensive warfare
This veterans complaint wakened IN me
line Of thought which led 10 some study, and
fancy that what I have learned and will write
here viii be Of interest TO many Of my old COM
rades of that dreadful four years that we
marched and fought and suffered to prevent a
single star from disappearing from the blue
field of our Nations flag
AS to the drill IN evolutions and the hand
ling OF arms, ] think that most soldiers of 1861,
90 who were restless under the dreary disci-
pine Of the school Of arms, the school Of the
soldier, the platoon, company and battalion,
saw the value Of the work long before the end
Of the war, for il taught each man-who was
the unit-how the discipline Of drill modified
bodies into skilled men of war; and taught
each one how to rely upon his neighboriug
comrade in times Of perilous excitement in the
rush Of battle
Ny veteran friend IS right in complaining of
the lack OF instruction given in the use of the
rife and carbine issued. But he fails TO re-
member that at the outbreak of the rebellion
the only arm Of precision known TO the mill
tary service Of the world was the Enfield rifle,
sud the numbers of that arm in possession Of
our forces was so small in comparison with the
number Of men TO be armed that they were
looked upon as curiosities. The regiments

and one lying down, with an interval of one
yard between centers of figures; thus it will
be seen that the skirmishers fire at targets
which bear some resemblance to those which
would be presented to his aim in action. The
men, having been instructed IN Individual fir
ing at known, fixed distances, are first instruct
ed in squads of from eight to 16 men to fire at
these skirmish figures under the direct COM
mand of q Lieutenant or Sergeant. For the
company firing the skirmish-line is formed
with intervals of one yard. For organizations
armed with the rife the line is formed at 600
yards from the targets; those armed with the
carbine form skirmish-line at about 500 yards
from the targets At the proper commands for
manuvering skirmishers they are advanced at
quick time until little more than 200 yards
from the targets when they are withdrawn at
double time to the first position. During the
advance five hats are made and two shots fred
at each halt The same rule governs during
the retreat If any man fires more than two
shots at any halt one hit will be deducted from
the total number of hits made by the company.
The piece must not be loaded until after the
command halt; an interval is allowed between
"halt and commence firing" to give each man
time to estimate the distance from the targets
and to load the pieces. An interval of Is Sec
onds only is allowed between the commands
commence firing" and "eease firing" After
the run the officers count the number Of hits
on the targets. There is one figure target to
each man in line; the firing line for each or
ganization must be composed of so per cent. of
its enlisted men (excluding Sergeants, must
clans and recruitS) whoare on duty at the post.
The per cent. of hits to the number of shots
allowed gives the score. AT competition of
distinguished marksmen about so per cent.
of the shots hit the targets; that is, about every

The extreme range was admittedly only 1000
yards, and then we had TO guess at the eleva-
ton necessary for that distance because the
sghts-such as they were-were only graduated
for 600 yards. Such thing as hitting mark
at more than 200 yards was then considered non

4 Western Barber Gets Out an Amusing

Western Barber Gets Out an Amusing
and 1nlaue Fashion Plate.
Mr.. Henry A. Mayor, Main street
barber, has perfected u unique hair dress.
er's fashion psate. A man can look over
the fashion plate, select the style of hair
cut or beard trimming he wants, and has
only to call out the number of the one
selected without giving any further in
structions. The idea of getting up such
fashion plate suggested itself to him one
day while looking in the show window
of photograph gallery. He has spent
over year in perfecting his FASH m
plate, has it copyrighted ana has appiaeA
for patent.
In order to properly carry out his plan
of getting up a fashion plate, he Would
would so to the park or some plblic
place, or even on the street, find suit
able subject and induce him to have his
hair or beard trimmed in the style most
becoming to him, then have him pho
tographed, front, side, and back view.
The fashion plate shows forty-eight diff
fcrent views. There are seventeen diff
erent styles of trimming the beard,
the Greeley" English, Vanderbilt"
"Turko," Senator" Scotch" Ger
man, "American, ""French. ""Ladida,"
Birdie" three kinds of prince Albert, "
"Favorite," Clergy" and several slight
variations from these. The American"
or Southern style is the mosS popular
for older men, and the "Favorite' for
younger men.
The styles of cutting the hair are
many, and all the styles are represented
on the plate. Three or four styles of
pompadour are shown, and q barber who
knows his business has better chance
to cut mans hair to suit his face in d
pompadour cut than any other. This is
still the most popular style. The prin-
Cipal styles of hair cutting he calls the
One-fourth, one-half and three-fourths
Single, with different styles of parting
and of trimming the neck. Then there
are tho Saratoga" the "horse shoe, "
the feather edge tho "high peaked,
"society" and square" pompadour, the
eight clip" medium clip" and bill
Nye" styles Several heads perfectly
bald on top have the hair SO arranged as
to cover up the deficiency. The Logan
roll is the most elaborate hair cut, and il
really two cuts in one. The hair is cut
long and square all around. Then the
hair is lifted up, and regular one
quarter shinGlo cut given and the long
hair turned under at the bottom.-kan'
