During the ong interval of several centuries in our history, since archery and tilting primed away, military exemiscshave found no place among the amusements and pastimesof thepeo 10. In no country have men been so devotci to what are called manly sports as in England; but till the volunteer move- ment arose, no outlet for athletic cxmisn was found for the youth of the country. save in cricket, rowin 1, football, and such- likc games, together With sporting both on horseback and on foot; To these has now been added a new outlet for the energy of the country, and the line taken has the ad. vantage of being patriotic and national, cle- vating what is to a great extent a relaxa- tion and a pastime into the performance of an act of (In ' and citizciishi i which is re- cognized uni admired by he public, and which adds to the self‘cstccin of those who engan in it. Among the many well-wish- cis of the volunteers must be included those who wish to see the youth of the country trained to those physical exercises which add so much to the graceful caj'riagc iuid good appearance of young men. Englishmen of the upper classes appreciate the benefit of this form of education, and the lower orders will in time learn to value it likewise, and will be able to find it in the ranks of the volunteers. When the improvement of the health'find physique of our vast working population is occupying the thoughts of our philanthmpisfzs, let. it not be forgotten that in volunteer training we possess the best school for promoting these objects. The annual Wimbledon meetings have done much toward rendering rifle-shooting u nu- tiomil pastiiiicIâ€"thus promoting the stability of the \‘Oltinteer movement bycriuiting a wholesale competition and rivalry between the various corps. 9’l‘he best; marksman in each regiment are well-known, and can be counted off as readily as the best speakers in the House of Commons. A noble Duke rccentl endeavored to explain in the House of Lor s the cause of the temporary reverses of our troops in the Transvaal by showing that they had to encounter dear-stalkers rather than soldiers. This shows the value of skilled rifle-shooting. It is obvious that men trained inthe-intelligmrt'use of their weapon are of the greatest value in the cam- paign. A squad of such iiicu placed behind a. bank and well sup lied with ammunition could silence any artillery, as the Boers are said to have done at; Lajiig’s Nek, when they made our guns all whit-e with bullet marks. Let us now draw attention to what is possi- ble to be done with the modern arms of precision, supposing that the men are equal to their weapons, which can at present he only a few. A small, well trained body of 50 men, placed under cover, can easily fire 3,000 shots in a quarter of an hour, (each man firing at the rate of four shots or min- ute,) and can place every shot at . yards in a space no larger than an ordinary sired room. At this rate a. battalion of 800 men could, in half an hour, pour 80,000 or 90,- 000 bullets into an enemy ndvnnciug‘iigainst them, thus produciii a shower of lead under which no troops cou d stand, much less ud- vanceâ€"an instructive and consolutory rc- flcction to a country whose Army can never be numerically large, and which should, therefore, endeavor to make amends for the snmllncss of numbers by the high training and superior intelligence-of the men. The waste ,of ammunition and the consequent loss of opportunity in war are enormous. They inuSt always be large, but might be greatly reduced. A Marriage and a. Mystery.
