The Invalid Russo says that Austria ought
10 think seriously of peace. She IL endeavor-
ing to secure the support of Germany and
Prussia but in acquiring powerful allies she
might ut the same time array against her still

THE FRENCH FIELD TELEGRAPH.-A war
CORES spondent, dating from Brescia on the 4th
of June, reports a fact which has not hitherto
transpired, concerning the scientific appliances
of electricity to war purposes. 1t would ap-
pear that the remarkable precision and unity
of the French evolutions We're accomplished
by quite novel sort Of flying aides de camp.
From each corps, once in q position. a horse
man rode of to the next division. unrolling on
his rapid course light wire, which no time
was lost in adapting to u field apparatus and
the process was repeated all along the French
line of twelve miles. Hence the movement Of
the whole army was known and regulated like
clock-work from dawn to dewy eye,' on that
decisive day.
This rranGement had been planned in Paris
and a supply Of gutta percha-covered metal
thread forwarded with secrecy and dispatch
1t has done its work, and the patent may now
be disclosed. Portable galyanism beats port
able gas. 1t was already known to both ar
mics that special telegraphic corps operated
in the rear OF the allies, and laid wires fas /
as an advance was made. NJ. Lair is the chief
engineer and the first Frenchman that ntered
Noyara while the Austrians were scarce yet
out Of it, was NJ. Ganthier Of that staff, who
set up his box and telegraphed the details of

Deadly E.opOns.--If the law against the ha-
bitual carrying of deadly weapons was rigdiy
enforced, the courts would have little else to
dispose of for the next six months. So extern
sive has this practice become, that the boys on
the eastern anburbs Of the city carry their load
ed reyolvers and flye-snooters, on all occasions
and do not hesitate to draw them on old or
young for the slightest provocation. Some
few nights since, one lad fired at another, near
Leigh Street Church, in the presence ofseveral
ladies, but luckily missed his aim. Since then,
boys have been seen firing their fve-shooter
at targets in the street, and many of them
boast of their expertness at killing chickens
and dogs, when found on the commons. I'm.
less some check is put upon the youth of ths
present day, new prisons will be in demand.

be preserved for all time and AS il is said to
be the most perfect image Of the Father OF his
Country ever carved in marble no pains

be taken 10 guard against the possible destruc-
