But all this is moral suasi0n only, and in the end disputes are frequently settled by resort to first principles the rule of fist-while redress is some- times obtained in ways as drastic as they are novel.
 4 gentleman joined crack cavalry regiment He had no pedigree or fami- 1y to recommend him. h fact, his fa. ther was retired brewer, and by the scions of nobility among his comrades he was rather coldly reeaived.
 Are you the son of Dash, the brew er?a inquired one of these.
 T am.
 Then why didn't yanr father bring you up to his trade?'
 "Oh, well, you're the son of Lord Blank, aren't you;'
 ssYes. :"
 Then why didn | Ae bring you up 2 gentleman"
 The upshot of this was 8 rough and tumble, wherein was demonstrated that ill the army q plebeian is the equal of a peer--if he can box as well.
 Another gentleman from the ranks of trade came home one day to find all tho crockery and breakable articles in his rooms smashed, the same being intend ed by the wreekers as q delicate hint that his presence among them was ob- jeetionable
 He was late for dinner that evening and apologized to the president of the mess for it, explaining what had hap pened--thst be had been to the rooms of the three he suspected and returned the compliment; if he had 0ronged any. he would apologize and restore the articles; if he had hit on the right ones, they could have satisfaction in the rid ing school after dinner.
 Accordingly. after dinner two of them received satisfaction ill full. a Ia Gorbett jn drill time but the third proved a tougher nut to crack, and the big hearted plebeian (Hho, by the bye, is now 2 generaD, weakened by his ez- ertions, was getting wefsted, SO anoth- CT of the same social status who was all expert boxer took mp the running.
 He soon finished off the third man and obligiDgly offered to take OH any one who sympathlzed with the trio. By this means-appropriate to their pro- fession-these two officers opened the door in that regiment to others than nifshoots of the peerage, by whom it had previously been regarded IS q pre- serve
 Among officers exchanging from one regiment b another is common. One little man, q lieutenant, incurred the enmity of the nen of his troop by con tinually finding fault and rubbing it in by contracting them unfavorably with his late corps till they hated the very name oe the Pinlls, 2 as we'll call them
 Not only the rank and file, but the noncommissioned officers, cano ill for his animadyersion till 1t got unbearable and at last the troop sergeant major told tho captain quietly that there would be nRtiny i'll the troop before long if it continued
 15 So happened that he had also car ried his insulting comparisons into the mess, and as he wouldn t take advice and drop it'' his brother officers took the matter into their own hands, with the result that one cold night in Fcbru- ary there was q hubbab within the off cers' quarters, a window was presently opened, and little Joey, clad only in his nightshirt, was handed out. seized, placed and held down in a handbarroN, wheeled off to the manure heap and there shot out. to nake his way back to bed as best he could lIa soon after left the regiment.
 The antipodes of this gentleman was an officer i'll the same regiment an Eishman, feet and big in propol.- tign, but his go Was not proportion ate to his size. He was too big and apa- thetie for a cavalry captain In fact, his nickname, Molly, well describes him. One cheeky youngster appeared to think he could take any liberties with such an easy going mountain of flesh, and in the billiard room one night he carried his impadenee beyond all reason
 Molly said nothing. He simply dropped has cue, picked the offender up and sat him violently down on side ta- ble, ignorant CT needless of the fact that upon it were standing glasses and decanters.
 u was some time before the surgeons picked tho last piece of glass ont of the impertinent one and weeks before ho could appear in the saddle again. It is scarcely necessary 10 say that he gave Molly" Mcguire a wide berth after Shat Pearson E Weekly
