class Of firearms, as some OF them did few
years ago to the use of breech-loading mus
kets, but it is now certain that the day will
soon come when the latter will be used by all
enlightened nations, as the fallacy of the OBJ
jections urged against breech-loaders has
been demonstrated and the criticisms proved
to be of no weight or force. The gun is
strong and durable and is in every respect
irst-class weapon. 1t can be easily trans
ported and, if need be, can be taken apart and
its several parts packed on horses OF mules,
when carrying on warfare in mountainous
region, and can in a few minutes be made
ready for action. There is
NOTHING ABOUT THE GUN
that is mysterious, or difficult to be under
stood. If by bad management any clogging
should occur in the feeding of the hopper, 1t
can be thrown back and the matter righted in
few seconds; and if one of the locks should
become imperative, it can be taken out
through the opening in the cascabel plate,
and new one inserted in less time than it
would take to load and fire a muzzle-loading
musket; after which, rapid firing may again
be resumed The main parts of the gun are
SO strong as to preclude the possibility Of
injury from use, and duplicate pieces
of the smaller portions can form
part of the outfit; moreover, means can
be provided for reloading the cartridge
shells after they have been fired-that is to
say, supply of balls and loose powder can
be carried, and the shells reloaded by a de-
tachment of men assigned for such duty, and
thus cartridges can be at all times kept on
hand for immediate use. The working parts
of the gun are encased in the breech-covering
so as to be entirely protected from dust and
exposure to the weather. The barrels are
open from end to end, and can easily be kept
clean by the use of a swab or wiper. Balls
fired from these firearms may not give the
pyrotechnic display of shells discharged from
field artillery, but their effectiveness is none
the less. 1t is generally admitted that in
battle the small balls are the most destructive
of life.-N Y World

Louis and went out to-day
To see the soldiers fighting;
The balls came showering all about,
And round our Louis lighting.
/ wish you'd seen how brave he was,
How cool and unimpressed,
He didn't mind the smell of smoke
Nor need to be undressed
He caught the bullets in his hand
And put them in his pocket,
He says he'll have a nice one fixed
For Mamma, in locket.
The Prussian cannon thundered loud,
And wildly surged the battle,
But Louis proudly viewed the storm,
And then-called for his rattle.
Full many a gieoS mOustdche / saw
Half hid by bullets flying
Cast one astonished glance at Lou
And then burst out a-crying
Like fire through grass the infection spread,
Till, spite the Dutchmens pelting,
j found ten thousand grenadiers
In bitter tears were melting!
The minor features of the fray,
Are hardly worth repeating,
So Just get out the usual tale
How we that ''Fritz" are beating.
