LADY THORNE'S ACCIDENT.
Her LadysbIp Not Seriously Injured.


The Buffalo Courier of yesterday says:-Spe-
cial dispatches from Rochester, published yes
terday afternoon, announced that the Queen of
the Turf, Lady Thorne, had injured herself by
slipping while getting into car at that city for
transportation TO Buffalo. 1t is with feelings of
the greatest satisfaction that we announce the
facts in the case. Lady Thorne was going into
the freight car in the Rochester depot, yester-
day morning, and had to walk up an inclined
plank which had no railing. There was crowd
about anxious for glimpse at the great flyer.
Frightened at the novelty of the situation, she
started back when part way up the plank, her
hind leg slipped and she fell off, coming down
on her hip. The fall was less than foot and
half, but she struck on u bone which corresponds
to the ''crazy bone" in the human arm, and was
temporarily lamed so that she hobbled on three
legs. Dan Mace, who had her in charge, was
naturally alarmed, and thought she was ruined,
and this fact, added to her going out of the
depot as she did, and the lack of competent
veterinary skill in Rochester, accounts for the
dispatches sent early in the day. Before the
old mare got back to her stable she was using
the leg. William Somerville, the veterinary
surgeon of Buffalo, was telegraphed for, and
went down by the afternoon train. AS soon as
he saw the Lady he assured Mace that the injury
did not amount to anything, and last evening at
Rochester she took her exercise as naturally as
usual. She is as certain to trot next Friday over
the Buffalo track as If she had never stopped in
Rochester.

PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST g. 1870

Count Bismarck sent despatch to the repre-
sentative of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
saying:-"In reply to your telegram, l declare,
in the name of the Confederation of the North,
that she will respect the neutrality of the Grand
Ducby as long as France respects it."
As an instance of the delays attending the
movement of troops, IL is estimated that the
French Eastern Railroad Company would re-
quire ten days to move force of 40, 600 men,
with horses, ammunition, ETC., from Chalons to
the frontier, even If a train could be despatched
every hour.
NJ Emile Olivier, the French Premier, said
recently to committee of the Corps Legislatif,
when the question of the publication of war
news was before them:-"Make what observa-
tions you like, and vote as you please; but you
will not prevent us from killing the journals
which would embarrass and kill u.s."
The France says of the American built iron
clad Rochambeau that she is regarded in sea-
mems language as formidable and irresistible, 3"
and is evidently destined to render important
services in the present war. She is manned by
500 men, the guns alone requiring $50 to attend
them. Her armament weighs 600 tons.
Great Britain annually exports merchandise
to the valne of $110 0000 to Germany, and
receives from her products amounting to $95,-
100000. Germany is the best customer England
has, and as an exporting country is the fourth
on her list. The German trade is very largely
indirect, and represents goods intended for
Austria, Hungary, and other parts.
The progress in marine guns during the last
uecaue mas Dteu very great. III 1903 Tue Oo-
FOUNDER cast iron gun was the most powerful
weapon. At present there are 600-pounder 25-
ton guns, beside 1S-ton, 12-ton, 9-ton, and Ga
ton guns. The lightest of these is more power
ful than the 6S-pounder, and could pierce AZ
inch armor on a ships side at 200 yards, while
the 25-ton gun would probably pierce most
iron-clads at a range of two miles.
1t is said of the mitrailleuse (Which, however,
is TO be proved) that bullets may rain around,
bursting shells may fill the air, still its thirty
seven barrels will shoot like one man, and at SOC
or 1000 yards will pour volley after volley OF
deadly concentrated fire into circle of from 1C
to 12 feet in diameter No boring or fixing OF
fuses is required, and the whole operation is
performed so rapidly that two steady, cool meu
could maintain fire of ten discharges per min
ute. On the other band the mitrailleuse could
not well compete with the field gun, and it il
with this weapon it will assuredly be met. Itt
bullets would have comparatively slight effec
at the ranges at which field artillery projecte
are perhaps most effective, while its size woul(
offer very fair mark to the gunner.

Immediately avails herself of the lessons taught
by the American struggle. Like the Confede-
rates, she forthwith extiDguishes every beacon
on her coast and removes the light-boats and
buoys from her channels. Following the
Union precedent at Charleston and the Rebel
at Savannah, she forbids approach TO
her commercial cities by sinking stone
freighted crafts at the mouth of the Elbe and
Weser. On land she proposes, II is said, to re-
produce our earthwork system, the territory of
the Rhine provinces 'being covered with inn
provised works of this description" Her peo-
pie likewise, outside of the armed population,
have caught the blessed conception of american
humanity, and are forming sanitary and relief

adoption by France of an American precedent
and, as we show In another article, France is

clads which she has obtained from an American
ship-yaId.
Profting further by the experience of Ameri-
can warfare, the French troops at Chalons have
for three years been drilled in the use Of the
spade. Last summer the Imperial Guard in
camp at st. Maur was practised In throwing mp
shelter trenches, or rlfe-pits, as We are accus-
TONED 10 call them. The use of trenches abrts
is now a recognized feature in the French SER

aggregated at $1,000. The agents of the compa-
nies, according to marine international law, can
not dismiss the crews in this or any other foreign
port They, however, can send them back by
other vessels and pay the expenses; but
as it is expected that the war will not
be of long duration, some reluctance is felt in
dismissing a body of able seamen, speaking
German whose places may not easily be sup
piled. There were some hopes during the hesi-
fancy evinced to open hostilities that trade
might be resumed and both France and Prussia
would mutually agree not to molest the mer-
chantmen of their respective antagonists; but
this hope has died away as it is evidently the
policy of the French Emperor to maintain a
strict blockade of all the North German ports,
and thus destroy commerce which has hitherto
been annually increasing at a most satisfactory
