mons last night, the Hon. F. Gait gave notice
that on Friday next he would present resolutions

penses of similar nature arising out of the

THE CHAssEP0T.

A Change in Military nTan9uvres Necessary.
A correspondent of the Nord gives the following
details Of the Chassepot with
this arm have shown that the present military ma
npuvres must necessarily be changed. The cxecu-
ton made with it is such that entire bataons would
be swept down as il by q cannonade. The men must
present the smallest surface possible. They must be
taught to spread themselves out as sharpshooters,
and to form groups behind trees and on advanta-
geous positions. A proposal was made that, when
the troops are formed in line OF battle, they
should dig a trench and throw up the earth be-
fore them to form rampant; but for that to be
done the soldiers would require to be armed as
sappers, and some time would be necessary TO
execute such entrenchments As substitute, the
mems knapsacks will be piled before the first line.
In any case the formation OF squares Will be en- rey
abandoned, they do not resist the enemy and the
troops the ianks cannot fire. AT present, to re-
sst the heaviest shock of cavalry, oil that will be
necessary IL two lines, the second Of which will load
the arms OF the first. The part to be played by
mounted soldiers in battle appears to be so much re-
duced that three-fourths Of them might be sup
pressed, the heavy cavalry especially. The only use
of the horse will be to make reconnoissances or
pursue fugitives. In the next campaign matter of
Importance will be for the army to understand the
power OF the musket, and not fall into confusion
before the Prussian neede-gun. The war should
necessarily be work OF attack and not Of defense,
as what is wanted is not so much troops who stand
firm as soldiers who advance. The Zouayes and
native regiments OF Algeria would be of great
utility,n

The indignation of the Greeks at the conduct OF

burg Cabinet has always been opposed to the estab
supported the national aspirations OF the Hellenes
with the object OF provoking the dstrust OF Western
Europe remarkable article in this sense, entitled
Cos, journal hitherto chiefly known for its attach
ment TO Russia The writer quotes history to prove
that Russia looks upon Greece as her rival In the
East and as the chief obstacle to the development of
Panslavism. In the late Turco-Greek dispute, he
says, and in the Cretan question: the Cabinet of St
Petersburg oresaw that its pretended efforts to pro-
cure the annexation of Crete to the Greek Kingdom
would meet with check; but t nevertheless stimu-
lated the Government of King George to an aggres-
sve policy with the object OF dvertng the attention
OF the Western powers from its own Panslavst in

urging its countrymen no longer to allow themselves
TO be made the tools OF Russia but rather TO the
sympathy of the West by opposing Panslavism and
preventing Russia from extending her influence in

HYDROPHOBIA.
Three Children Bitten in Wilmington by u
Rnhid DDR.

Three Children Bite. BitssS bau In Wilmington by I"
The wilmington DeL) Commercial Of last evening
contains the followng:-
Yesterday afternoon a large black dog, belonging
to John Moore, who resides on farm near the Con-
cord toll-gate, displayed symptoms OF rabies, and
suddenly rushed ut and bit COW belonging to Mr..
Moore; he next sprang at an OK, but that animal
raised Its head in time to avoid the spring, and es
sumng threatening attitude, deferred the dog from
further attack. The dog then started towards Mr..
Moore who got out OF its way thinking something
had infuriated the ANIMAL but not at first suspectng
hydrophobia Immediately after this the dog
started towards the city. On his way towards
the Brandywine he bit q dog belonging to man
named Trusty. Reaching Jessup's road, he turned
towards that part of the city formerly known as
Brandywine Village, and turned up the Philadelphia
road. At the corner OF this road and Mill road he
caught dog belonging to butcher and shook it.
Some men were working there putting up gas
lamp, and one of them picked up heavy stone and
struck the mad dog on the head. 1t caused him to
loosen his hold and he ran on up the Philadelphia
road. AT Vandever avenue he bit one or two other
dogs, and shortly afterwards met cow and two
avoid him. but he chased them back and forth across
the road until he succeeded in biting each Of them.
He next turned up Lammot street, and here comes
the most horrible part OF the affair.
Some little children were playing in front OF row
OF tenement houses there, and the dog made for
them. He first caught little boy, six seven years
old, son OF Edward Nugent He dragged the child
Off OF porch, to which he had fed for protection,
and dragged him out in the road, terribly tearing and
He next bit little girl about six years old, one OF
a couple Of twins daughters of William Carter. He
Donovan The dog now turned back to the Philadel-
phia road and ran rapidly northward, biting one
two other dogs. He was pursued by crowd OF
twenty thirty with guns, ETC., and chased
from the time he left the city limits, shortly after
o'clock, until about p. NJ, when he was killed on
the farm Of Eli Wilson, short distance above the
city limits. All the dogs known to have been bitten
have been killed.
The excitement in the Sixth ward formerly Bran

the terrible grief of the parents Of the unfortunate
children is dppnlV felt Dr Miller ia attending

Very "Frenchy."

A Paris correspondent gives the following account
of curious scandal that has occupied the attention
OF arstocratic circles in that city,
The husband OF the lady bore name well known
in the annals OF the first empire, but, his
rlage, added the more ancient one Of his wife to his
own. The harquise c. dc F. Is the mother of
four little children. In society she met and en-
couraged the advances of Commandant Theve a
married man, but separated from his wife, and pos
sessed Of considerable fortune The intimacy is said
TO have lasted six months. NJ. Theve suddenly
learned that an officer in his own corps shared the
heart OF the Marquse Resolved on Vengeance he
certainly devised the most frighful scheme that the
human mind Is capable of. Determined to
prove TO his brother onlcer that he had the Mar
qulse completely in his power he summoned her to
his barrack-room. What passed during the interval
OF her arrival and the moment when shot, heard
from within the locked doors OF his apartment
attracted the attention OF the officers in the neigh
boring rooms, is not known, but on bursting
open the door, the Marquse partially undressed, and
bearing marks OF recent struggle, pointed TO
bleeding corpse lying on the bed. Commandant
Theve had shot himself through the heart. An hour
later his son, young man of seventeen came to
the barracks to see his father He was, however
prevented from entering the room where the body
lay till the event had been broken TO him by the
brother officers of his father. NJ Theve was man
OF forty; the Marquse is about thirty. M. Theve
was buried without military honors, which in France
are not granted to suicides.

Despatch 20 The ASsOcidted ITSSS.
WAsHMGToN, April 22.-James X. Young
correspondent of the New York Tribune and
A. j. Ramsdell and w. B. Shaw, also press
correspondents, appeared before the select com
mittee of the Senate this morning, in obedience
to a summons. They were seyerally interrogated
as to the source whence they derived copy of
the Hale and Perry respondence-whether it
was furnished by any Senator, etc.
These gentlemen respectfully declined to
answer the questions on the ground that they
always held confidential communications to
them TO be inyiolable, and that to give the name
of those who privately impaired information TO
them for the press would be breach of honor,
besides njuring them in their business pursuits.
The committee will report the result of their
investigation 10 the Senate in executive session.

How TO MuR.--Some mixers seize
the root of tho tcat between the thumb
and forclingcr, and then drag upon it un-
1T II slips out Of their grasp, In their
way, the tcat and uIdcr are subjected to
severe traction for an indefinite number
of times, and in rude hands is often se-
verely injured. The propermode of milk,
ing is to take the tcat in the entire hand,
and after pressing it upward that it may
be well filled from the capacious milk-
reservoir above, 10 compress it first at the
base between the thumb and fore6nger,
then successfully by each of the three sue
cccding fingers until completely emptied.
The teat is at the sumo time gently drawn
upon, but any severe traction is altogether
unnecessary, and highly injurious. These
remarks on the mode of milking, and
those on milking clean, are of more mo-
mcnt than many may at first suppose, and
IN some localities more cows are ruined
from faults of this kind than from all
other causes which act specially on the
udder. - Wd,N nDd Homr
