The Sixth Corps have no elaborete regi-
mental cooking system, with ovens, vote,
mid boilers, soh as our t flying colt/elms ' go
forth with ; and the Avant of these was not
manifest ; while the benefit in the lighten-
ing a transport was great. During the
sham fights one of the four divisions acted
as its skeleton enemy. This force was at-
tacked on, two successive days anti driven
back. The operabions were ordinarily begun
after caretel skirmishing and heavy artil-
lery fire. Although the formation of the
troops was loose and ragged to a degree that
would have given the Idorse Guards a fit,
and driven the War Office to contemplate
resignatioa or suicide, the work was splen-
didly executed. The men were sent for-
ward to the attaele at the most advantage-
ous points, and there was far less thud -
aline than can sometimes be seen on the
Foxiiille. Practice makes perfect, and both
French and Germans drill their men more
frequently than we do, in what is, after all,
the ohief lesson, how to use the rifle, and so
advance as to develop the greatest possible
fire power."

an officer does he salute. If he is engaged

Teaching Smith Sea Natives That It is Cost-
ly to MU awl Ent White Men. '
The Solomon Islanders, who inhabit a
beautiful archipelago stretching for 500
miles parallel with the nor' heaat Coast Of
New Guinee, have °nailed the repatation of
being among the wildest and most untaann
able of savages. It is only within a few
years that the missiouteries hey° attempted
to work among them. Before the natives
grew accustomed to the sight of trading
vessels it was as emelt as a man's life was
worth to venture on shore and the islanders
were left pretty much to therneelves until
six er seven years ago, wheu England and
Germany divided the islands, between them,
and then looked around to see if they were
really worth dividing. Since then a mini-
ber of traders and missionaries have built
staLions on the islands and persistently
wooed the natives to barter and prayer.
The coy and suspicious creatures, however,
distrusted the good intentions of the strang-
ers, and as they are confirmed head-hunters
they have lost no opportunity to lop
off the head of a white man whenever they
caught him alone.
The British Government decided recent.
ly to keep a war vessel in the neighborhood
and teach the natives better than to cab
missionaries and. adorn tabu houses with the
skulls of traders. So, her Majesty's ship
Rapid, has done a lively business of late, in-
flicting gunboat justice upon villages indulg-
ing in cannibal feasts with white men as the
most tempting delicacy on the bill of
fare.
When the Captain of the Rapid made his
last report he had just escorted rotative for
the murder of Mr. Duval, a white trader.
The crime occurred in the Mott Bay, among
the southern islands of the group. One day,
soon atter the murder, the Rapid anchored
in the bay and sent word to the chief that
uules$ the murderer of Mr. Duval WAS de-
livered within two hours the village would
be aliened. The SolomonIslanders bevelled
considerable experience of this sort, and the
Chief knew just what to expect. The Chief
and one of his men promptly set off in a
canoe for the warship, having in oharge a
native whom they delivered up as the mur-
derer of Mr. Duval.
The Accused wee made a full confession of
bis crime, The captain of the Rapid made
careful ins estigation, couvineed himself
that the prisoner was the culprit he was
alter, and sentenced him to be shot at
o'clock next morning at the village where
the murder had occurred.
At daybreak next moruing a solemn pro,
cession of boats went ashore carrying the
prisoner. It was thought that the treach-
erous natives might be ill-mannered enough
to attempt to interfere with the programme.
A line of seamen Was therefore extended
around the part of the village facing the
woods to guard against surprise. The
prisonerwits led ashore and. tied to a tree.
Ho was very calm, observedall the proper- ,
ationa without, a tremor, and did not utter I greater end.

DOW have reversed the process aud its
officers be incessantly insisting upon intel-
ligent freedom of movement rather than ex-
actitude, and high individual standard in
place of deed uniformity. It is easier for
Germany to decree than to carry out the
French principle of training, the traditions
of the Prussian service were not to be oblit-
erated in a day, and so with their newer
scheme and plan of drilling they still re-

Of the German officals the correspondent
says " No praise is too high, no words tee
strong, to describe their excellence as mili-
tary leaders. Doubtless they have faults,
from some of which their French rivals are
happily free; on the other hand, they know
their duty, attend with exemplary fidelity
to its discharge, and are proud of their
position, regarding the work as of the utmost
importance to the well-being of their land."
The French soldier's ability to outmarch
the German soldier is probably beyond
cinestien. This was noticed by military
critics throughout the manceuvres of last
year. The Telegraph correspondent notic-
ed. numerous cases of lameness among the
German soldiers in his field, but during his
stay in France did not remark one man who
showed signs of suffering even after the
hardest day's work.
In his letter published on Sept. 21 the
correspondent gives an interesting, though
incomplete, account of what he observed of
the manoeuvres of the Sixth French Army
Corps under Gen. Jamont : "For ewe weeks
the corps, which was made up from the
garrisons and depots along the frontier,
have been marching, manceuvring, and
fighting among the hills and valleys that
border the Moselle and Meurthe. The
French soldier is well shod, his laced boots
being much atter the favorite pattern of
those worn by gentlemen who shoot over
the moors at lime, Fete Or one of the
46,000 men in the Command showed signs
of lameness -a thing very common among
German troops on an afternoon's march.
Their pace was quick and strong, and
fifteen miles, even with their well -load-
ed packs -- each soldier carried about
fifty pounds -did not seem to trouble
them, though there were days when the
weather was hot to sultriness. The French
soldier is kept up by his excellent coffee and
frequent dishes of bouillon or campaign
soup, which he is an adept in =eking. In
the twinkling of an eye, by roadside or ie
quarters, he bas the pot on, and with a
