The MIME BALL,-A few DAYS since
we published an article descriptive of the
Mimic rifle ball, which just now is sending
so many poor fellows to their long home,
and the name of the inventor down to
posterity.
We are informed by an intelligent off,
Ger of our army, that the Mimic rife ball
is being adopted into our service, and
up,n an improved plan. As now used
in the Crimea, the powder drives the
sheet-iron cup into the cavity of the ball,
and this spl eads the ball so as to per-
fectly slug or fill the riaed bore of the
gun. The present improvement is to
dispense with this sheet iron cup and
make the powder do all the work of
spreading the ball.
1t lis little remarkable that the French
gunsmith, Delvigne, who invented the
hollow oblong ball, entertained this same
idea but as his ball merely rested on
the powder, the experiment did not sue.
ceed and Col. Mimic introduced the sheet
iron cup, which was effectual in spread
ing the ball.
Our army will use the Mimic ball with.
out the cup. a portion, or the whole of
the charge Of powder is inserted into the
cavity of the ball, and powder and bail
made into cartridge The explosion Of
the powder in this cavity does the whole
work Of spreading the ball and driving
il on its mission of death.
We understand that the manufacture
Of muSketS in our armorieS is abandoned,
and our men will be armed with the ig.
proved MIME rifles with bayonets.
Another improvement in the manufac-
ture of balls in our service is that of
cutting them out Of sheet lead instead of
running them. These are termed pressed
balls, and possess much more uniform
density, hence more true in their flight
towards the object aimed at.-Cleuelarad

EyGLIsa AND FRkscH OFFICERS.

We make the following extract from q
private letter from an American gentle
nan in Constantinople:
/ have pretty good opportunity of
comparing English and French officers.
In The passage from Marseilles talked
4 great deal with the French officers.
The two armies are very different.
French officers are regularly educated;
they must serve so long in the school
before getting a commission, and they
know their duty at once. English Off
GERS, you know, buy their commissions
and learn their duties after they enter the
army. The French officer has what the
French call esprit : he is brave, and he
discusses military subjects well and un-
derstandingly. The English officer don't
discuss; he tells you his opinion, and
that is enough! But as for bravery, the
Crimea has proved that in them. Mark
the difference, however. The French
spoke with becoming seriousness of the
horrible slaughter at Alma, while the
English take it as a matter of course,
and say it is necessary to get accustomed
to such scenes.
What cry will be heard in England
Hardly noble family that will not
mourn some member. Yes, the English
officers did fight braveIy, and their SOL
diers, too, but their loss has been much
more than the French, and will tell you
Why. When we were at Boulogne, the
whole French infantry marched past us
on the road; their march was very de.
| sultory, with very little order. They
were all laughing, chatting, or singing.
On the field found that a column of in
fantry moving on to the attack moved
on in the same manner they were all
together, but in anything but straight
line; they went straight forward without
stepping to parade. Now this is entirely
the reverse with the English troops.
They always march as if they were toeing
mark, and in making a charge in col
umn hey..dress front as regularly as if on
a parade. am told this difference ex.
lists always and each party goes into
battle just so. But what makes the diff
farence in loss is this: the English COL
umn, when swept by discharge OF can
non, closes up and marches on; the
French don't stop to close up, but keep
right on, leaving the spaces vacated by
their comrades open, so that there is q
greater chance of escape at the next dis
charge"

FIGURES. Various have been the opin-
ions of the origin of the numerical fig
ures l, 2, 3, 4, S, 6, Z, 8, g; bat the
one most generally received is, that they
were brought to Europe from Spain, that
the Spaniards received them from the
Moors, the Moors from the Arabians, and
the Arabians from the Indians. 1t does
not, however, seem probable says Bishop
Hunt, that the Arabians received them
from the Indians, but, on the contrary,
that the Indians obtained them from the
Arabisns, and the Arabians from the
Grecians, from whom, in fact they ac-
quired knowledge of every science they
possessed.
