have platform of ten lines and
broad enough for every silver Re

MILITARY ORDERS.

Ambrose Blerce, IN the Examiner
gives The following advice to com
manders of military companies:
For score of years 1T has been
my delight on IA Skinny night" to
consider the Mllltiaman of the field,
how they 60. (They toll and spin,
yet Solomon in all his glory was
bodygeared with inferior state. }
ION such night, us Shakespeare
will be having 1t, | have watched
them for hours performing their
warlike pranks, and even now with
retrospection's backward eye
see them on their winding way
About their ranks the moonbeams
play.
The good, good Militiaman!-be it
ever mine to celebrate him fifty; his
gorgeousness, his patience under in
justice, his submission to the mean
ness of the powers that be in sup
plying and equippiping him, his
stolen drills at moonrise, his Moons
time prades aud processionings to
make holiday for the fledged and be
braided show-oficers who run him
his Fourth>of-July annual cobble
trot with dutiful enthusiasm in pat
rtotic pain Our citizen soldiers are
loyal, their dicipline is good, their
courage umimpeached. But IN bat
tie they would be vaiueless; they
would break up aud run away; they
would evanish with an unthinkable
nimbleness. Why!
The trouble is with the officers.
Not one of them whom have ever
heard has known how to give com
mand. For the men to be efficient,
even in drill upon the field of peace,
when commanded as they are COM
manded is impossible. 1t is not that
the wrong commands are given; the
right ones are given wrongly; they
are SO spoken that deliberate precis-
ion of execution is unknown. The
men are kept in state of nervous
expectancy. The preparatory COM
mand throws them into something
like apprehension; the command of
execution startles and disconcerts;
they jump at it with unsoldierly
haste; sometimes even antici pate it,
never execute it with the concert
that comes of GOODNESS, tranquility,
repose.
As commands are given so will
they be obeyed; an officer without an
unframed voice makes a soldier with.
out efficiency. A faulty system of
giving commands, or no system, will
deliver an army into the hands of ALI
intelligent enemy as surely as defect>
i've arms. In the National Guard of
California the art is, l fancy, not
taught. We could as proftably
neglect to teach the soldier the use
ol Ills Tllle-
The courage of an army is coher-
ence; when broken up it runs away.
On the drill ground our batalions
hang together at least. That is be-
cause, thanks to silence and atten-
ton, the commands are heard--such
as they are. But IN battle there is
neither silence nor attention. 1t is
the simple truth that in all my OBJ
servation of our State troops, Uni
versity Cadets included, | have never
once heard command that would
have been audible in the din of mus
kerry. An officer may shout the
top of his head otf-he might as well
shout in vacuum. He must sing.

DEATH FROM FRIGHT.
Singular Instances of tho Fatality Of
Nervous Shock.

Singular Instances of tho Fatality OF
Nervous Shock.
II have interested myself somewhat
In looking up unusual causes Of death. ~
said Dr. Elder, land have met several
Observation-Disclosures instances where
fright was the cause. The ENGLISH
Surgcon-Gcneral Francis tells of a
drummer In India across whose legs n
harmless lizard crawled while he was
half asleep lie was sure that n cobra
had bitten him, and it was too much
Tor his nerves and he died. Frederick +,
OF Prussia, was killed by fear His wife
was insane, and one days h6 cscapcd
from her keepers and dabblinr hey
clothes in blood, rushed upon her l,us-
band while he was DOING in his chair.
King Frederick imagined her to be the
white lady whose ghost was believed
to invariably appear whenever the
death OF member of the royal family
was to occur, and he was thrown into
a fever and died in six weeks But
perhaps the most remarkable death
from fear was that of the Dutch
painter. pcntman, who lived in the
seventeenth century. One day he
went into room full of anatomical
subjects to sketch some deaths heads
and skeletons for picture he intended
to paint The weather was very sui
try, and while slsetching he fell asleep.
lie was aroused by bones dancing
around him and the skeletons suspend.
ed from the ceiling clashing together.
In fit of terror he threw himself
from the window, and, though he sus-
tanned no serious injury. and was in
formed that slight earthquake had
caused the commotion among his
ghostly surroundings, he died in few
days in nervous tremor. l could cite
many other cases where the shock to
the nervous system which we know as
fright has produced death. "-Washing.
