4 REVOLVER.
Much More Effective In q Cavalry Charge
Than the Saber.

han the SAber.
Few soldiers ever understood the
secret of handling %squadrons better
than did Sheridan, Custer or stuart
Naturally enough, when there were no
traditions to go upon and not mucA
time for training, men turned instinc-
lively to the weapon they were most
accustomed to and rarely used their
sabers until they had exhaused their
supply of cartridges. A charge carried
through with decision swept opposition
away by its rush and volume; riders
were endorsed, and chargers knocked
over without the aid of sword cuts, M
men who had learned to shoot on horse
back made good practice with carpines
or revolvers when their foes had given
way and flying before them. An Amer
lean might, in fact, be trusted to look
after himself uncommonly well In his
own fashion. II was Quantrell espe-
cially who showed how much might be
done in this way, and how completely
= cavalryman might dispense with his
traditional armament That daring
leader, the Turkoman Of the southern
states, equipped each OF his followers
with at least two revolvcrs and
taught them to shoot as skillfully with
the left as with the right hand. A good
swordsnan would be as much at a dis
count in an encounter with such oppo-
nents as the bravest Afghan or Zulu at
the muzzle OF n Martini. But the sue
cess of the revolver in this particular
instance affords no solid foundation for
theories as to its value for horsemen
less accustomed to its use. 1t is very
possible, no doubt, that if a war be pro-
longed once again Europe for four or
Eve years, the regular cavalry might
disappear eventually on II side, and
the same developments might once
more be evolved by force of circum-
stances. But unless the process OF
shange is gradual we imagine more ex-
ecution may be done on friends than
foes ''Mr. Atkins with a brace of re-
~volvers shooting round on a requi-
sitioned cab horse would, indeed, be an
ally whose neighborhood had better be
avoided. A sharp saber might make
havoc with the ears of his charger, but
the consequences in the other case
would be more ~far-reaching and more

A Cats Peculiar Family.

The steamer Wilmington arrived in
Puget sound recently, with a cat on
board, which had developed the mater
nal instinct to an extraordinary degree.
Some months before, the officers say,
she adopted the kitten of another cat,
which had died. Still later she adopted
another kitten, and then she made an
astonishing addition to her family. In
rumaging in the ships hold, she discov-
cred and killed an old mouse, which
bad two baby mice. These the old cat
tenderly carried to her quarters and
raised, in company with the kittens.
When the ship came into port, the two
mice, the two kittens and the old cat
roomed together in a box, as happy as
any human family, to the delight Of all
beholders. -Golden Days.
