Pointers' Talk.?Every profession has its tech-!
nical terms, and, of course, the printers have a j
? smattering" which I# only intelligible to the
craft. The followi*^ is a specimen. It don't
mean, however, as much as it would seem to the
uninitiated: "Jim, put General Beauregard on the
galley, and then finish the murder of that negro
vnu commenced, von remember, yesterday. Net
up the ruins of GuvandoUe; distribute the small
pox; you need not finish that mutiny; put the j
mumps in the paper this week. Pitch that pie
into the batter-box; and then go to the devil, and '
he will tell yoo how to dispose of the dead matter." {

SttAfcPSHOofs&s.?Fo* bnsh-fi|hting, the American
riflemen are, undoubted!*, the best hi the ]
world. Jn all the woodland districts of this coun- 1
try there is an abundance ef game, large and 1
small, ana, as the crafty backwoodsman must to i
some extent rely upon bis gun for his dinner, it, t
is hardly wonderful how expert he becomes at 1
picking off a squirrel from the topmost branch of (
a tree, or sending his bullet into a deer as far away t
as he can catch a glimpse of him through the un- i
dcrbrosh. It is a common mistake to suppose j
that a deer in the forett nnut be on easy mark on
tccOat t of its sise. The steins of the trees in our
American forests are very close together; they
are everywhere interpolated with trees of smaller
growth?with underbrush, in fa&, and it is through
i openings, in these, alone, that i small portion of
the deer's bodv is visible, and | is all the more
difficult to "draw a bead" on, fto:n the circumstances
of its being nearly the uniform gray color
| of the stems. In most ca?ei,?then, a shot at a
! deer is a?out as difficult as one at a small piece of
brown paper stuck against a breffcn wa 1 at seventyfive
or a hundred yards distant The Swiss rifle!
men, who are very famous sharpshooters, are certainly
accustomed to longer sh<js than our backwoodsmen.
The chamois, one of the principal
objects of their pursuit, caa**t be approached
nearer than between two and three hundred yards;

pinnacle of reek, boldly relieved against the sky,

ing. Hunters aver that the black squirrel is aware ?
of this fact, and will run up a cliarred tree in pref- t
erence to any other, when he smells "villainous i
saltpeter,'' or get himself mixed up with the black- ]
knots that crop out upon many trees. For ages j

men ; but, as in most European countries, the skill i
i in tire-arms among them is mostly confined to i
the upper or "privileged" classes. Prizes are still ]
! shot for, however by tradesmen and mechanics. 1
1 Among such prizes the famous "Siller (Jun of 1
Dumfrie' held a foremost place, though, if Mayne, j
the poet-hutorian of those who shot for it, is to be i
believed, their craft as marksmen was more dan- i
gerous to themselves than it could ever have been c
' to an advancing foe: s
"Wide o' the mark, as if to scar us, ?
The bullets ripped the sward like harrows;
And fright'ning a' the crows and sparrows

The sharpshooters in the French service are, j
for the most part, Swiss. They are very sensitive j t
on the subject of their skill, any imputation upon j}
which is resented as an insult. Not many years i
ago, one of these riflemen, having been unsnccess- j

from again competing for the regimen- j
tal prizes until he should have brought himself by
practice to a better standard of skill. By disguising
himself, however, and assuming another name, j
he again obtained a chance for distinguishing himself,
again failed, was detected and ignominiously
expelled. Burning for revenge, he watched his
opportunity, and flred at his commanding officer,
but missed him. The only good shot made by
this unfortunate Swiss was his last; for, the moment
after discharging his rifle at the officer, he
drew a pistol and shot himself through the head, jr

negro who has the least cross of white blood in ,
his veins, is to be pressed into the rebel aimy. }
There is impartial justice in this. It shows that:
these rebel law makers are too magnanimous to j
exempt even their own children. a

Commission in the city of Boston have sent one I

Poland?Langiiwicz :?A correspondent of n

lis camp, writes as follows : At the entrance of

with their weapon's crossed. These form
;he body guard of the insurgent General. On the
eft is a chamber of moderate dimensions, in the
centre of which is a table of a long and oval shape,
md around this sit and stand many men, who car y
on so lively a discussion that one scarcely conjirehends
its purpo t. Some of these are strong

nany questions, and also distributes various orders
o his officers, who continually come and go. His

At last he raised his head a little, and ]
:oold observe him more narrowly. Persons enirely
disinterested would declare his appearance
o be quite an ordinary one, but he pleased me on
he instant. I will describe him as briefly as poslible:
He is of small stature, something over
hirty years of age, thin, but muscular ; the head
n proportion, but with a weather-beaten, though
resh complexion ; dark hair and somewhat spare
)eard; the eyes dark and large, but very beautiful;
lis entire expression is mild and decided, as with
nost thinkers. On his head, he wore his sapphire
colored four-cornered cap, with dark lamb's wool
rimming and a white feather. He wore also large
Polish boots, Polish hose and a dark fur trimmed

The second in 1787, Shay's insurrection
