TWO WERE DROWNED

at Fort Sherman, and John Hart the
lO,year-old son of Musician Hart of
Company +, were drowned in a small bay
opposite the fort Sunday evening while
in bathing. Xillhoiler is about p years
of age, athletic and a good swimmer.
With the boy on his back he undertook
to swim the bay, which is about 90
yards in width. When tWO-thirds of
the way across the swimmers legs be-

Young son of Lieutenant George stood

Guard and a favor to be admitted to it,
and, consequently, the rank and file
are selected men, the very flower of the
youth of America. No one is enlisted
who cannot pass a severe medical eX-
animation, or who is not acceptable as
a companion and friend to his future
comrades: and while Il captain has a
legal right to enlist any man, subject to
the approval of the colonel and sur
geOn, he Scluom exercises this right
without unOtticially consulting his men.
SO great is the conservatism and eX-
clusiveness in some regiments that
members are actually selected, precise
~ as they would be elected by a club,
and four or five black balls will eX-
clude n recruit. The term in this coun-
try is not IAN officer and a gentleman"
as in Europe, but "a soldier and
gentleman"-by the term gentleman
being meant not person who is not in
trade, but a person with the manners
and feelings of gentleman, and no one
who is likely to disgrace the Guard is
admitted. If a mistake is made the
man is expelled, as from a club, and
expulsion is a disgrace keenly felt.
The armorieS of the Guard are, in
many places, very magnificent and
costly structures, equipped with all the
cOnveniences Of gymnasium and n
club house. In the Greater New York
alone, 100000 have been expended
on armories. and the famous Seventh
owns a million-dollar structure. IN
Boston, the new armory of the First
CORPS. Cadets, on Columbus avenue, is
one of the finest buildings in that city;
and in the West the armories are
among the most important structures
in large cities.
There was a time not so long ago,
when Americans were the poorest

during the last ten years there has been
a most remarkable revival of interes~
in rifle practice in the United States.
In New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and other
States nearly every infantry and cav
airy officer and man is a marksman,
who has won the State decoration at
the short ranges. And the sharp
shooters and experts who have quail
fled at the long ranges are numbered
by the thousand. When the new rifle,
already issued to the army, is also
issued to the Guard, the Americans
will be almost as formidable antagon-
lists as the Beers, or the Kentucky rifle
men who defeated the best troops of
Europe at New orleans.
The minor tactics of the Americans
are borrowed from the Indians whom
their fOrefathcrs fought. The Ameri-

In the narrative Of his journey to
Burmah, Captain Gill r, f., incident
ally gives some scraps OF information
that may be found practically useful.
In ore of his stories, says Harper
Roun1 Table, he describes the way i'll
which a leak was stopped in junk
which met with Il miShap While sailing
M tie Yang-tze river. The skipper of
the Ioat was an old lady, a widow,
whom the Captain, with shocking lack
of gallantry, designated JeZebel. Her
force of lung and store of bad temper
were such that none of the coolies or
boat-men could withstand her, and it
was only when ascending the rapids
she would for a time yield her com
mand to the pilot, On one occasion
the ianK ran aground and knocked a
big hole IN her side. Jezebel, looking
at il with uncOncern, remarked, be-
tween the whiffs of her pipe, cotton
wool" by which she meant that the
breach was TO be repaired with that
material. The coolies first put ON q
plaster of witty brown paper mud and
grains of rice. Over that they nailed
piece of wood, and stuffed the In
terst.ces with cotton wool and bamboo
shay;ngs. The patch was, of course,
put on inside. The operation was
long one, and, extraordinary as this
method Of boat repairing may appear,
it proved tolerably efrectual,, although
from the amount of bailing that was
always necessary afterward, one voy-
ager suggested that the vessel should
be called the "Old Bailee."

A purse was made up for her, and she was given a ticket to this city. A close search yesterday failed to unearth this interesting person, and she presumably had left the city.
