WHT THE HEaTT LOSs ~ OFFICERs.
II has often been asked why the per
cent Of casualties in battle are usually
so much greater among the officers
than among the enlisted men in pro
portion 10 those engaged.
The answer is not difficult, First
the officers are expected to set exam
pies and lead their men not drive
them-into battle. Second, the men
generally have opportunities TO shield
themselves behind such distractions
as may oifer-a thing always enjoined
upon the men by the prudent and care
ful officer when il is possible while
the officers themselves, ia order TO
direct, must necessarily assume more
exposed positions. Third, an officer
who would hold back seek shelter, or
assume timid or halting attitude in
the face OF the enemy, would either
demoralize and stampede his men. or
in turn be hootei at and ridieuled, II
not driven out OF the army
These and many other reasons aside
from that Of personal bravery afford
the answer to the question The men
look TO their on isers not only TO guide
and direct them in battle, but TO SET
before them examples Of bravery; and
were these officers 70 begin TO seek
shelter and cover at the lrst shock Of
battle the effect upon the men would
surely lead to demoraiization, and bott
men and officers know this only toe

Ends and Revenge Begins.
The right of self deftnse is by some
old writers declared. to pc inherent IN
all men by the law of nature. Now,
these "natural rights are all very
we'll, but they are not recognized by
the law of Great Britain. 1t is the law
that a man may defenl himself, his
wife, child or servant from physical ag-
erosion. He may also 1epel by force a
forcible attack upon his property. When
you, or your wife, child or servant is
attacked, or threatened with violence
ia such manner as reasonably to lead
you to believe that violence is about to
DO used, you may resist the aggressor.
And as the best mode of resistance is
very often to attack, you may lawfully
follow the advice given by all old prize
fighter to a pupil. c., "get in the
first whack. -"
But self defense must be moderate.
1t must not be totally disproportioned |
to the attack. For instance, if hulk.
ing ruf1an runs at me with knife, l
may shoot him. But if he runs at me
merely with his fists olinchod, and l
shoot him dead with revolver, shall
be hanged by the neck. Not
that the law expects man to be calm
md cool and collected in all circum-
stances. By no means For instance, if
he said burly ruflian PUSHES at me with
linchcd fists, evidently meaning mis-
hief, and | hit him with heavy stick
IL the back Of the ear, may kill him. I
'ut shall not be hanged for that. l
ad right to use the stick, and in the l
circumstances am not to be supposed {

REMARKABLE SHOOTING.
Killing Four Caribous Out of Five at Long
Distances.

Distances.
A party Of four Of us left Bath for the
upper part of Maine for four days
a hunting trip There was one man among
US, Orderly Sergeant Richardson, U. S.
!, A., at Fort Popham, Me-, still in the
service. On the third morning three of
us-tho sergeant, another and myself
left camp together in search OF game,
the snow falling thick, but calm; no
wind. We had not gone more than a
mile from camp when we saw OH the
next ridge Ga hillside) five oaribous
standing in such an open place that it
was almost impossible to get nearer to
them without being seen. After wait
of some time for them to change their
position, that we might advance and get
a shot of more certainty, our silence
was broken by the sergeant's remark
that he had killed deer as far away as
that, and thought he could kill one of
these.
We all agreed to let him take a shot
and estimated the distance at 500 yards.
When he got in his position, which he
calls the Texas grip and selecting the
one on the right told us to look out for
him, at the crack of his rife, to my
great surprise, down came the animal
with his back broken. The others, being
bewilderod, ran in circle like, coming
to standstill somewhat nearer to us
all hands estimated $50 yards. Again
he selected the one on the right, and at
the crack of the gun again the animal
dropped, shot through the heart. The
other three leared off in another direc-
ton, as we estimated, GOO yards. Then
the sergeant adjusted his sights to that
distance, and to my great surprise he
killed the third one. The other two sep.
arated and one of them came back near
to the first one that was shot, when he
stood broadside to us, and the sergeant
fired, but shot low and broke both front /
legs just above the knee After q little j
sklrmlshlng about in the brush we t
found HIM, and one more shot from the Il
