The Battle of Solferino-A Curious
Calculation.

Messrs Editors - Permit me to call
your attention and that of the public to
the following facts
In the battle of Solferino, between the
allies and the Austrians, il is committed
that three hundred and fifty thousand
soldiers were engaged for at least twelve
hours. or these three hundred thousand
were armed with niuskets. Suppose zach
one fired once in ten minutes. or six times
IN an hour, then the number of shots
fired was twenty-one million, six hundred
thousand; or, if once in five minutes,
torty-three million, two hundred thou
sand--if once in ten minutes, then onlu
one shot tells fatally in seven hundred,
and twenty, if once in five minutes, then
only one in fourteen hundred and forty.
because the number killed from the be-
ginning to the termination of the battle
was less than twenty-five thousand-thus.
ten thous and Austrians and fifteen thou-
SAUDI Italians and French. Add TO the
twenty one million, six hundred thou-
sand shots the tens of thousands of halls
discharged respectively by the Austrian
and French fields of ordnance. then how
comforting the truth that not much moro
than one ball in a thousand tells fatally
in the ZELDA thousand fall harmless at
the soldiers feet. Amid all the improve
ment in this our age, the improvements
in the arts of war, like the failing of Gold
smiths pious Vicar lean all on Virtues
side. The implements of death welded
40 Wagram, Lodi, Austerlitz, and Water
loo were eminently more successful.

T. "a CoMIcAL INCIDENT.-ln Worcester
I Mass paper we find the following:
just as the train was about starting for
| Greenfield, on Friday morning, on the
| Vermont and Massachusetts, railroad, a
| spl1ghtly little woman with child took a
scat IN the car near where | was sitting.
Inc cars were beginning to move, andrhe
! little woman looked anxiouslv through
the end window of the rear car for her
missing husband, who was in the depot
attending to the purchase of tickets, &c.
Tie speed of the cars increased, and the
women looked more anxious. The hus-
band now appears and commences to
run. He gains on the cars at first. but
they are too far ahead of him, and soon
are leaving him behind, although he did
run well for n season" 1t is now the
wiie's turn to try and see what she can
do. In agony she implores the conductor
that her husband is left, but lac can't help
that. 81 am starting on Journey, and
cant get along without my husband -
"Ihen let him attend to his business next
time" was the cold answer. But" saws
the keen Yankee woman, 81 have no
money with me-" The brakes were ap-
Piled and the cars brought to a stand
still, and the painting husband enters the
cars, to the delight of all the passengers,
especially of his wife.
Norol.- Money will stop train of cars
much quicker than husbands.
PCS The London Times gives long
description of the new mon steam ram
which, it says, will be anoat next june
Her total length will be $50 feet. breadth
90; total weight at sea about 5000 tons,
full speed 10 miles an hour. About 900
feet of the broadside OF the vessel will
be of teak, q inches thick; this will be
covered by armor plates ~ inches thick
ON the deck. The ram will be armed
with 30 Armstrong guns each throwing
IOOlb. shot over a range of six miles,
The ram will run down ships by driving
straight at full speed. If she only does
one half of what may fairly be anticipa-
ted from her, she will be cheaper to the
nation than dozen sail of the line. The
cost of the hull will be about 100000,
the engines about e75,OOO, and her fitting
for sea about CAS-, 900 more, or e320,OOO
in all.

RAJ There exists at Lahassa a very
touching custom, which we were in some
sort jealous of finding among infdels.-
In the evening, as the light declines, the
Thibetan men, women and children cease
from all all business, and assemble in the
principal parts of the city, and in the
public squares. AS soon as the groups
are formed, every one sits down and be-
gins slowly to chant his prayers in an I'M
der tone, and the religious concert pro-
duees' Immense and solemn harmony
throughout the city, powerfully affecting
to the soul. The first time we heard it,
we could not help making a sorrowful
comparison between this Pagan town,
where all prayer is common, with the
cities of Europe.
