SIR S. MORTON PETo's new book on Amer
lea thus sums up with regard to some Of the
confederate generals: Sherman's antago-
nists are in the express and railroad bust

moved upon at Donelson, edits an indiffer-

commander of the rebel cavalry at Corinth

THE New Orleans Picayune tells the follow

at Resaca, Bishop Polk said, ''you look

Some one had presented him with box of
guava jelly and bit of wheat bread (rari-

General picking himself out of the rubbish.

FOREIGN GossIr,.

There are variety of good stories told
at the London clubs with reference to the
late panic, for men will have their jokes
even upon serious subjects. A celebrated
barrister, who had invested a small sum in
Overend Gurney's Company, met friend
to whom he communicated his loss give

quite upset you" "Not at ALL replied the
wit, 81 only lostmy balance"
A Confederate immigrant to Brazil
writes back concerning Pedro the Second ::
"The Emperor was forty years old the I'd
of December last, is six feet and little over
in height, stoutly built, easy, graceful, and
dignified in his movements, has rather an
effeminate voice, is affable courteous, and
agreeable, easy of access, and particularly
partial to Americans, and encourages their
visits to him, speaking their language
huently.
The London Sportsman of June 18th,
says: "There is, we understand, every
chance of Mace and Goss again coming
together, as Mace has not only accepted
Goss' challenge, but staked ESQ to make
good match to fight in six weeks, for
either e200 or $500 a side. By our next
impression we shall, probably, be in a
position to lay the matter more definitely
before our readers. At present we can say
no more than that it is rumored Goss will
cover Mace's money this day"

The Prmssian Needle Gum.

The "needle- gun" in use in Prussia is a
formidable weapon-described by the Lon
don Times as a converted Enfield on the
Snider system, with improved ammunition
devised by the Woolwich Laboratory. This
rifle possesses the advantages of being SIM
pie, safe, cheap, non Gaping, and little La
bic to get out of order. Moreover, it does
not require such a reduction of the stock as
to destroy the efficiency Of weapon which
for military purposes is required to act as a
pike as well as fre-arm. A portion of
the upper side of the breech end of the
barrel is cut out for the admission of the
cartridge This vacant place is closed after
loading by lump of steel-the "breech-
stopper or "breech piece (which hinges
upon one side of the barrel, and forms a
false breech, against the face of which the
back end Of the cartridge rests; the barrel
is, in fact. shortened to this extent A
plunger or piston transmits the blow of the
hammer through the stopper to the top or
the cartridge, which is Withdrawn aftef
firing by little instrument which forms
part of the stopper.
The cartridge is on the "central-fre !"
system, the chief novelties being the case
and bullet. AS regards the former, the OBJ
ject has been to provide case which shall
uncoil or unwind to certain extent on dis
charge The bullet is combination Of
various constructions, none Of them origin
al. but producing together projectile Of a
sufficiently distinctive character. 1t has
the general form and appearance of the
Enfield rife bullet, with its hollow base and
baked clay plug; it has the cannelures
which originally characterized the Tamisier
and the Mimic bullets; and the wood plug
in the head, to which Mr.. Metford and Mr..
Whitworth may both lay some claim. The
cartridge is perfectly impervious to moist
ure; it is safe, not liable to lead or foul; it
admits of about fourteen rounds being fired
in minute; and it shoots from twenty to
twenty five per cent. better than the service
Enfield ammunition.

home is situated in the most lovely spot that
ever landscape painter dreamed of. Placed
upon height, it overlooks the city, the fort,

nothing seems to trammel the fight of even
genius itself. The house is celebrated in
Guernsey, where it excites lively curiosity
Wonders are related of it, enhanced by the
mystery overhanging threshold till now
never crossed by the Guernsey world; it is
said to contain furniture worthy Of an en-

designs by Victor Hugo; he passed three
years in drawing them. The rarest curl
osities adorn the interior; for Victor Hugo,
who loves to live in the past, has mania
for antique furniture.

The Battle in Paraguay.

The following anti Paraguayan account Is
from the Buenos Ayres Standard of May
the 9th:
Yesterday the Espigador arrived bring
ing the very important news of terrific
jungle fight, in which the courage, bravery,
and hero SIN OF the Brazilians are signally
conspicuous; in fact, as will be seen by the
following details, the whole of Flores van
guard would have been completely annihi-
lated but for Brazilian band of heroes,
who cut through solid Paraguay AIN square
and thus saved Flores.
On the ID inst, the Paraguayans, some
eight thousand strong, at one o'clock In the
day advanced on Flores and attacked his
position. Lopez in person was ia command.
As the Paragraphs were four 10 one twas
short work The fight was very sharp;
some one thousand six hundred men and
thirty one officers of Flores were soon hors
de combat Flores acted with the greatest
bravery, shouting vehemently to his men,
until he got so hoarse tn t he lost his voice;
two horses were shot under him and three
of his aids were also killed, but the weight
of the enemy was too great, and the Orien-
tails, SC, had to fall back with great loss,
the victorious Paraguayans making the
evening hideous with their yells They
captured Flores artillery and completely
hemmed in the hero of Yatcy.
Osorio saw that the moment had arrived
when it was possible TO make dash to save
him. He led on the splendid regiment of
the Voluntaries de la Patria, the best Bra
lillian soldiers in the field; they charged
under cruel fire from the enemy. Every
tree in the forest, every branch on the road,
belched out flame from the myriads of Par
agusyans, but his brave forlorn hope, moth
ing daunted, rushed with fixed bayonets,
and cut through a solid square of the enc
my. Flores was saved; but the heroic band
of Brazilians which entered the fight sever
al hundred strong was reduced to forIy-o one
men.
The Paragraphs pushed on after Flores
reinforcements came up, and the victors be-
came vanquished, the allies closed on the
enemy, and pen cannot paint the horrors OF
that route. Inch by inch the Paragraphs
fought, fell. and were trampled on, the guns
we're retaken, banners captured, and two
pmall ParaguayaH pieces also seized. AT
last night terminated the carnage. The
sllies held the ground they were driven
from in the morning at such frightful cost,
and the victory, bloody and sanguinary a:
it was, was theirs.
The little road which leads through the
Jungle is literally covered with dead Para
guayans; over two thousand impede th'
transit. The Belaco estero is dyed witt
blood of friend AMI foe. Lopez has falleI
back, but not gone into Humaita. 0soriC
lost two horses; he is no doubt hero; h
was in the very thick of the fight. Nett'
lost one horse. Colonel Paileja's son il
killed and several other Oriental officers.
