THE RUSSIAN ARMY.
Nearly Five Million Men Armed
for Battle.
European Nations Watrhlntr Their Mil
itary Maneuvers - Vri'sh llatu Concern,
lug tho TactlrH and Armament of
Ine tit-eut Army.
The recent gigantic maneuvers of the
Russian army on the western boundary
have directed anew the attention of all
Europe to the great Eastern colossus.
The endurance, willingness and iron
discipline of the one hundred and fifty
thousand soldiers who met at Kowno,
the capacity of the officers to handle
(rreat bodies of troops easily, and espe
cially the morale of both officers and
men were so conspicuously displayed
that all Austria and Germany have been
doing a good deal of hard thinking and
exhaustive writing concerning the Rus
sian army ever since.
The exact size of the Russian army in
Europe on a war footing, says the Chi
cago Times, is rather problematical.
The active army is estimated by the
best German authorities to contain one
hundred and ninety-two infantry and
fifty-eight cavalry regiments, fifty-one
brigades of field artillery, and one hun
dred and forty-five Cossack regiments:
the reserve troops, one hundred and '
five infantry regiments; the mili
tia, two hundred and one infantry regi- j
ments. The garrisons include twenty
four infantry regiments and fifty-ons !
and a half artillery battalions. AU ,
these, together with the batteries, ,
sharpshooters, sappers, miners, etc., '
swell the grand total to four million
five hundred thousand men. The Eu
ropean Russian army has five hun
dred thousand horses and about
four thousand guns. The cost of
this establishment last year was, j
reckoned in Russian paper currency,
8186,000,000. That meant a tax of about
$2.60 on every man, woman and child
in European Russia. Since 1874 Russia
has had the universal obligation to
service, lhe time of service in the
standing army is five years; in the
reserves, which are in camp twelve
weeks every year, thirteen years; in the
militia, tii'i the soldier's forty-third
year. The buying of substitutes or
exemption is not allowed.
The infantry is armed with breech
loaders, Derdan II. model '73, with a
caliber of 10.07 centimeters, and a boll
weighing about an ounce. The field
artillery has guns of 10.07 centimeters
caliber for heavy work and others of
8.7 centimeters caliber for light and
mounted artillery. ' These latter throw
grenades and shrapnels. The maxi
mum range of the 10JS7 caliber is 5,300
mcters,and of the 8.7 caliber 0,300 meters
for grenades. The range of the shrap
nel is between 3,300 and 3,750 meters.
What kind of men stand behind these
arms? The opinions of all who have
seen any of the more recent Russian
maneuvers are uniform. The Russian
soldier, they say, is the most willing,
obedient and robust in the world. He
can live contentedly from what a
Frenchman or German would starve on.
He can march tremendous distances
without losing his pluck and under the
most trying hardships needs only a
word from his superior to make him
forget all his troubles and rally to any
effort. A German officer, who after his
recent return from Russia published his
observations in the Cologne Gazette,
says: .
"The maneuvers showed that the
Russian army is made up of men and
horses that are equal to all exertions
and all demands of the modern battle
field. Heavily built, thoroughly disci
plined, content with little food, and
loyal above all others, the Russian sol
dier is ready and willing in every
emergency."
The strenuousness and the aim of
Russia's exertions to bring her army to
its present state of efficiency and avail
ability at a moment's notice are best
illustrated by her railway policy of late
years.
"The energy of the Russian Govern
ment in the construction of military
railways during the last decade has
been truly wonderful," says Mux Liman
in the Illustrirte Zcitung. "Still, the
distances to be overcome were so tre
mendous that the meshes of her iron
ct are at least twice as great as those
in Germany and France. The railway
construction in Russia in the lust few
years has been pushed most rapidly on
the western boundary, so that a quick
attack in Germany and Austria might
be rendered possible. The Government
was forced to do this by the I'anslavs.
This party has its advocates in high
military places, and through them has
spread its ideas throughout the army.
"It deserves mention, too, that the
Russian forces are being steadily shifted
to the western boundary. Sixty per
eent. of all the troops and even three
quarters of the whole cavalry are at
present dn the military departments,
Warsaw, Wilna, Kie.w and Odessa, and
almost the entire army is garrisoned
along the lines of the stategical rail
ways. During the last year sixty-two
battalions, fifty-eight squadrons, and
sixteen batteries have been transferred
to the western departments. Thereby
the standing Russian army has been in
jreased by fifteen thousand men on the
Serman border and by thirty-five thou
sand men on the Austro-Hungarian
frontier "

INDIAN AND HEBREW.
A Comparison of S:,,ii i'efiillar Customs
i . of the Two HiK-eM.
Early travelers nnnuer the Indians
claim to have found rites and cere
monies strikingly similar to those of
he Jews, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. George Catlin, the artist,
i who spent a considerable portion of his
life among the tribes, said he believed
that they had Jewish blood in their
veins, although he could not go so far
as to identify them with tho lost tribes
of Israel. The Indians worshiped a
a great Spirit or a Jehovah. Idolaters
were never found on the North Amer
ican continent. Tho tribes had their
council or medicine houses, which they
held most sacred. They had their high
priests and their prophets. They fol
lowed the Hebrew custom in not allow
ing the women to worship with the men.
Fifty .years ago the Sioux exploited the
I same belief that they arc dancing them
selves crazy about now. They main
tained that the Indians were the chosen
people of the Great Spirit, and that in
time they were to triumph over the rest
of the world through a Messiah.
In marriage the Indians had customs
which savored of Palestine. They
gave presents for their wives. In their
bathing and in their family relations
they followed with remarkable precis
ion many of the requirements of the
Mosaic law. They observed certain
laws of purification which the Old Tes
tament teaches. Fifty years ago trav
elers found no difficulty in discovering
the practice of these rites and cere
monies by tho Indians. Hut as the line
j of white settlement advanced the In
dians gave up their old customs. Their
, forms were laughed ut by white men
and many of them were abandoned.
lhe ghost dance, which tho bioux nave
been scaring the frontier with, is the
old sun dance under a new name. It
used to be practiced frequently as an
atonement ceremony.
There was one.! an Indian f"nst which
was very like the annu.d feast of the
passover. Some of the tribes kept a
feast with brunches of willow und pre
liminary fasting, v.lii li Ixnv striking
resemblance to the least if Taber

rences other than mere galloping, out-
ting, thrusting and strong language,
all of which are very similar on like oc
casions, and aro often told in prose and
?eree. Short and to the point is best
suited to what is required of mo. So to
begin my story:
Maude s horse artillery, with me sec
ond in command, opened flro at day
light and kept in action until its ammu
nition was exhausted, when it retired a
few yards down hill and remained there
for awhile, screened from the Russian
shot and shell, with the hope of giving
confidence to some wavering Turks.
Maude was seriously woundei by a shell
bursting in his horse, and there wore also
several casualties among officers, Jmen,
horses and gun-wheels. Some of our
Bold batteries soon arrived and contin
ued the cannonade.
In the course of an hour or so our two
brigades of cavalry and horse artillery
formed columns near the heights of the
plateau of Sobastopol, when suddenly a
line of cavalry, with supports in ool
umn, probably 5,000, poured down the
grass slopes toward Iialaklava, and
were gloriously defeated by our heavy
brigade of cavalry under General Scar
lett. In the pause that followed I deemed
It desirable to learn what the Russians
were doing, and as the horse I had rid
den was wounded by a splinter of a
shell, I mountod a baggago pony and
rode up tho grass Blopo to near the crest
of the now-famed valley, whore I teth
ered him to a tent peg, and crept on
through the long grass until my tel
escope cautioned: Beware! Tho brush
wood on the hills opposite was full of
guns, and down tho valloy were troops
by thousands. Captain Chartcris, one
of Lord Lucan's aides-do-camp, now rode
by, but as ho did not see mo I hailed
him with the information, when he re
plied: "The Light Brigade is ordered to
attack," and while we wore speaking I
hovo in sight, advancing and deploy
ing at the trot and canter. There was
not time for warning, so I ran to my
pony, and getting back to tho guns as
fast as he could oarry mo, brought them
up at full speed and placed them over
the ridge, whore best able to aid the re
mains of the Six Hundred in their inev
itable retreat. w
At this time Lord Cardigan reined up
and told me what had happened, at tho
same time pointing to a long rent in hil
cherry overalls mado by a Cossack Lan
cer who had otherwise missed his aim.
Others rodo or ran up to the guns.
Among the last was Captain Oodfroy
Morgan, Seventeenth Lancers, now Lord
Tredogar, whoso horse had been killed
and his helmet lost. However, ho came
to mo, sword in hand, and, speaking as
cool as he would on parade, said: "Is
not this an awful business, Shakespoarel
What shall I do?" My roply was:
"Quick; jump on a gun limber, and go
to tho rear will, us, or to tho front if we
go into action, when you may help fight
a gun."
Wo must not forget tho volley from
tho Ninety-third Highlanders, which
emptied many Russians saddles near tho
entrance to the village of Iialaklava;
nor the attack on the Russian artillery
in tho brushwood by tho Fronch cavalry
on white horses. I can seo them now,
so conspicuous were they on the hill. So
keen is memory formed on the battlo
fleld that even now I fancy I soe Nolan
and his horse lying dead, like many
others whose names I did not know.
Of my friend Chartoris I have a re
markable foreshadowing of fato to re
late. On tho previous evening be and I,
while taking a quiet ride, saw signs of
a tight on tho morrow, when he spoko
very gloomily of it bolng his last. My
saying: "Well, we have beon under fire
together pretty often, and yt here we
are again," did not cheer him. "Mo, it
would bo his last." A round shot killed
him directly wo parted on tho ridge be
fore named. As the spot was debatable
ground my gunners buried him then and
there.

DR. TODD'S MISTAKE.
A I.ong-Wimlecl Dissertation End. la the
Lecturer's Hasty Ketreat.
If old Or. Todd, of the R Medical
College, wuero he Is one of tho most
learned and valuable lecturers, ha9 a
pet hobby, it is "emphysema." The
doctor, says the Chicago Herald, has a
theory that directly conflicts with tho
beliefs of nearly all of tho other emi
nent practitioners of the world. He
holds that all players upon wind instru
ments have diseased lungs Theaffec
tion so contracted he calls "emphy
sema." Twice a year ho lectures learn
edly on emphysoma. Ho has even been
heard to remark that through this mala
dy, discovered by himself, his name will
be handed down to tho future agos. As
we now spoak of "Bright's disoase," so
will future generations refer to "Todd's
disease." One day a tall, cadavorous
looking individual entered Dr. Todd'a
clinic. A glance sufficed to show that
the patient was in the laststages of con;
sumption.
"What is your occupation?" inquired
the doctor.
"I play in a band," hoarsely wheezed
tho poor sufforor.
"Aha!" exclaimed Dr. Todd, turning
to the class, "what have I so often told
you, trontlemcn? Iloro wo have a fine
case o( emphysema " Then followed a
long dissertation on the effects produced
upon the lungs by oontinually blowing
a wind Instrument. The class listenotl
with great attention. They were not
exactly convinced, but they could not
help admitting that the doctor for once
was making a strong argument. When
the latter had finished he turned tri
umphantly to the consumptive musician
and asked, patronizingly:
"What wind instrument do you play,
sir?"
"Tho bass drum," wheezed tho gentle
man.
VOORHEES' ELOQUENCE.
Emotional Oratory That Cittne tu an Ig
nominious Knu.
Senator Voorhees Is an eloquent law
yer and is lastly noted for his influence
over a jury. Sometimes, however, lie
moves their sympathies and that of the
court to no purpose, as one or two
stories told In the New York Tribune
will show.
lie was once engaged In a suit before
a justice ot tho peace to defend a young
lady in an action against a hank. The
case was a weak one, but Mr. Voorhees
endeavored to work on tho feelings of
the court. Ho depicted tho sufferings
of his client until tho sympathy of the
"squire" was so aroused that tears
trickled down the old gentleman's
cheeks. But the decision was a disap
pointment. "The plaintiff," said tho squire, "is a
woman, and hnr counsel has for the last
hour touchod the sympathy of the court
in her behalf, lain glad of it; but 1
think, under the law, that justice is on
tho side of the bank. 1 therefore will
find in favor of tho bank, and lot the
record show that Mrs. has the full
sympathy of the court."
Mr. Voorhees tells another story of
emotional eloquence which eainn to an
ignominious end. Ho had succeeded in
delivering an appeal which had brought
tears to ttio eyes of several Jurymen.
Then arose tho prosecuting attorney, a
gruff old man, with piping voice and
nasal twang.
"Gentlemen," said he, deliberately
helping himself to a pinch of snulT, "you
might as well understand from the be
ginn ing that I am not boring tor water."
This proved so effectual a wet blanket
to tho emotion excited by Mr. Voorhees
that ho realized the futility of his own
'boring."
