I’ve got a practicing room, where I gymnas- J
{ tic every day. I’ve taken-up the carpet —aj
I perfoi’mancc which my . landlady entirely ap
| proves —I’ve piled the chairs on top of a table
! in the corner, and have sold my bed at auction
—Zouaves sleep on the floor.
Besi !es it is a good thing to know how to
j sleep without a bed—in case of war.
8; inkey end his brother, came to see my
I room alter I hacbgot it arranged for practice — I
they di4 things —they Zouaved a little, by way
: of r -‘ling me an example.-
I found out by the actions of the Spinkoy
J brothers the exact dimensions of my room; it
i is three flip-flaps long, and a hand-spring and
two back summersaults wide.
By means of a Cip-flap you disconcert your
) enemy s aim and dmw bis fire, then you kill
him. A flip-flap is a good thing to do—in case
| of war.
By means of a hand spring, yon reverse your
j position, and your bewildered enemy cuts off
j your foot, instead of yotirhead. Then you kill
him; then you screw on a wooden leg and do
so again. When you’ve done this twice, you’ve
1 killed two enemies, and only lost two legs; and
: after that you can only lose wooden legs, which
1 are comparatively cheap, especially if the war
i is in a well timbered country.
A handspring is a splendid thing to do—in |
■i case of war.
By means of a forward summersault you lean !
’ •/II
over your enemy, when he charges on you ;
I then, ‘ a back smnnu rsault, you fall on his 1
I head r un agfeat height, and stun him; then ;
nvou k.::; nini.
! J . , . * . .. , .
A summersault is tin indispensable manocu
j yrc—'n case of war.
Our company—Spinkey commanding—can !
| go through the mangel of arms complete, and I
only touch the ground three times; they do all
the lending in a single summersault, “springing
| into the air at tboVord “Up !” with their mus
i keG < “ ply, and loading exactly together a*t the i

I then bring ycu!*h; a1 up and yo # ur heels down;

When I came to tiV*it I thought the t|por lo#k*

soon became manifest that a large proportion “of i
bthe in cm bo vs were jw pi rants to all tlio ports of

! tion that all who desired to become officers
should retire during the balloting, when to the
| general astonishment it was found that there
| were only three left to conduct the election. —
The three gentlemen, however, determined to |
! do their duty, and proceed at once, with the |
] business. After a little time had elapsed the j
I outside party was called in, and informed them ]
that, the meeting had great difficulty in making i
choice, as the claims of all those who had re- |
tired were so conspicuous. They had conclud- j
ed, therefore, that the only wav to escape the:
difficulty, and give general satisfaction, would
be to elect themselves to the three offices, and
they had accordingly done so. The company
acquiesced in this wise decision.

i have died there during the last four j-cars,
without finales: John McDonough, Joseph

three. The combined fortunes of these four

about one-eighth of the property of ths whole
