Unique Manual of Arms Prepared by ''Ex-
ira Billy"
The most remarkable company of sol.
diers ever drilled in this country fought
under Extra Billy" Smith, twice gov
ernor of Virginia. He acquired the nick
name through connection with the ex-
tensive mill contracts which he had be-
fore the war, his charge to the govern
ment of "extra work" ON his star routes
being SO frequent and large as to keep
the postoffice department. in state of
constant ferment.
He was a grand old man of the rough,
honest type of "Blue Jeans Williams
Lincoln, Thurman, Jerry Rusk, Craw-
ford and Jenkins His education had
been sadly neglected, but he owned
brains to spare and horse sense enough
for three ordinary governors. He drilled
his men according to Extra Billy IS

A Military Trick.

One of our German American citizens
related the following incident of the
German revolution Of lS46:
1--WE were short of men and had a
large number of prisoners to look after.
That did not worry us az long as we
were not moving, but one day we had
to make forced march. The country
through which we were to pass was
hostile, and extreme watchfulness was
necessary. We had few enough men as
it was, and we knew that those pris-
oners were ready to make q dead run at
the first opening.
Finally young officer made bril-
liant suggestion, and it was promptly
carried out. We ripped the suspender
buttons from the prisoners trousers,
took away their belts and knew we had
them. Their hands were busy after
that, and fast running was out of the
question. We made the march safely,
and do not believe that even Yankee
ingenuity could have invented sim
pier solution. New York Tribune.

TRAINING A WARHORSE,
How He IL Taught to stand the Biaz
and Thuuder Of Battle.

Row ne Is TauEht To stand the blaze
and Thunder Of Battle.
A warhorse is broken to be steady
under fire by tying ropes to his legs.
While the animal is down on the ground
the officer takes a pistol and fires it
close to his ear. Then III rapid order he
fires the weapon over his back, under
his mock between his legs, anywhere
that an opening presents itself during
the horses futile struggles. Not until
he sinks back exhausted, all a.trem BILE
and showing the whites Of his ewes, does
the pistol practice cease.
After two or three lessons of this kind
1t is considered safe to mount him with
bride furnished with curb bit. Up
to this time the horse has never felt q
curb. The light snaffie is still retained,
and the curb bride is only given a gen
tie pressure at first, just enough to let
him know that it is there. Gradually
the strength of the pull is increased,
and with this safeguard the horse is
taught to stand fire from his riders pis-
tol or carbine.
In carbine practice the horse must bo
thoiooShti plohcii, aS Uotu Dauus dE0
required in using this weapon, whereas
with the pistol the rider may retain the
bride with one hand.
Then comes saber practice, and that
is another trial to the horse Again is
he thrown to the ground, and he probs-
bly, cant understand why he should
have to suffer this indignity all over
again, for he has learned that lesson
very we'll. But when the bright blade
of the saber with quick thrusts flash
ing before his eyes and cutting the air
in close proximity to his ears, appears
to him he is again terror stricken.
But the lesson he has learned from
the smell of gunpowder stands him in
good stead, and he soon gets over his
fear. Aud even with man on his back
and another mounted upon seasoned
horse coming at him with saber raised
in the air or slashing left and right he
knows that it is all part of his educa.
ton and something to be expected. So
he stands his ground or cavorts about
the other horse while the two troopers
indulge i'll their saber practice. New
