A NEW RrLE.-The New York Journal Of
Commerce describes new rifle, called the Mars
ton Rife which possesses peculiar advantages,
rendering it well worthy Of examination by
sportsmen and military men. 1t is breech
loading weapon and is so simple and perfect IN
its structure MS to render any doubt OF avalibil-
ty entirely out of the question. 1t is made for
the use of a cartridge, as all breech loading
guns must necessarily be. The cartridge, how
ever, is not necessarily of any fixed shape, and
any one can roll his own cartridge, with COM
mon paper, powder and ball. But the proprie-
tors manufacture cartridge which is simply n
roll of paper with ball at one end, and leath-
err patch at the other. The leather patch remain
ing in the gun after each discharge, is carried
out by the next ball, cleaning the gun thoro'ly
II is of the same weight with the ordinary rlfie,
and resembles it almost exactly. Tho trigger
guard of the common rifle, is in this one lever,
of the same shape and size, which, by down.
ward pressure, draws back the breech pin, allow
ing a cartridge to be laid in the breech, which IS
forced into the barrel by the return OF the lever,
and the pin closes tight. The ordinary caps are
used, and the only merit claimed for the gun Is
as breech loading gun, and one that cleans IT.
SELF Of course, being in all respects like the
ordinary rifle, it may be used a. such, and wad-
ded with loose powder and ball by the muzzle,
if the owner prefers.
The Journal says this rifle is one Of the most
graceful in appearance that has been produced,
and that it will take the eye of sportsman by
its compact and simple construction. All fire
arms are more or less dangerous, but we do not
see why this is not rs safe, to the man who
stands at the breech and not at the muzze, as
any of the old fashioned sort. The prejudice
which has existed against breech loading weap-
ons, is entirely overcome by experience.
