the proportion Of deaths from con4umplyo dis.

Everybody needs more or less purging. Purge
the blood from its impurities Purge the bowels,

IMPROVED ARTILLERY.-In Germany, in Russia,
and in America, NJ less than in this country and
in France, no incnnsiderable amount If ingenut
has been expended in the endeavor to contrive a
gun, suitable either for ship, fortress, or for
the field which shall excel all others that have as
yet been introduced into either service; not only
in range and in precision but in the facility with
which it can be handled.
As might have be n supposed, the performances
of some of the most remarkable of the pieces of
ordnance that have recently been tried have
thrown into tn shade our ancient ordnance; but
even though range of five miles has on more shan
one occasion been reached. military men are not
after all, so sanguine as might have been surpos-
ed as to the practical utility of such vast power,
unless Is can b. rendered generally available for
all the purposes of war. We took occasion the
other day, in notice of several new
works on riaed arms, to show that for naval con-
hlcts-ship against ship, feet against feet any
thing like range of miles would be compare
lively useless it would only be in the event of the
bombardment of a town or citadel that shells, pro-
jected from remote distance, could be efficiently
employed. In land fight the contingency
of protracted conflict cat long bowls be-
tween batteries miles apart is not a very
probable occurrence. True it is that where
as in some of the recent battles of Italy,
army is provided with field pieces capable of
throwing explosive missiles into crowded masses
whose artillery, the other hand, is harmless at
half the distance, the advantage must necessarily
be very great the side of those who possess the
more formidable equipment; but this pre-eminence
it would be difficult long to maintain since, soon
as the adoption of any particular description of
gun was found to be essential, its would speedi
ly become general, and the gain to the nation orig
mating the change would probably be limited to
the nrst Few engagements.
AS matters stand just now, certain continental
nations are perhaps somewhat ahead of us in the
article OF rlhed cannon. The French have been
strainng every nerve to manufacture them in large
quantities, both for their army and navy, and not
