A tejv words will ex plain why, and os it Is very rarely iMt these things seo tho light, oven in the immediate neighborhood of the army or of town, it may bo’weft to, giro you some idea of what is u horrible fact. ; *T* — r * : In their capacity of rangers, the of course have un almost boundless field of movbmonl. If Kent out from a city or a camp they urclnbver expected to return before Or until after night,,or tho host day.— If attached to a tram, they art “only expected to show themselves occasionally, to signify that they arc oh the alert.
