We had the pleasure of visit, yesterday,
from Lieutenant Commander b. H. Nc
Gala, executive officer on board the United
States sloop of war now in this port. The
Saratoga will probably leave in the course
of week or ten days. and will terminate
her long cruise by going in to reft. 1t is
not supposed the coming unpleasantness
among European powers will have any I'M

The Outfit of French Soldiers.

Though the foot soldier has much
lighter weapon in the Chassepot than in
the old muzzle loader, he still has to car
ry on his back and shoulders a weight OF
about seventy pounds French, that is,
upwards of one third of the regulation
weight carried by a sumpter mule. First
there is the Chassepot, seven and half
pounds; the sword, bayonet, and scab-
bard, three pounds; ten pounds of anu
milton, distributed partly in two pouches
and partly in his knapsack; a pair Of
shoes; four pound loaf of bread can
vas bag slung over the left shoulder, and
containing any creature comforts the man
may have procured. Over the knapsack
first, great-coat; secondly, blanket; a;
thirdly his share of the canvas for the
tente doJri, and sticks for the same
and fourthly, a huge camp kettle. Inside
the knapsack second pair of trousers,
combs, brushes, needles, thread, buttons,
a pair of gloves, a couple pairs of socks,
and three shirts; in addition, flask, Ca
pable of containing about quart of liq-
uid is flung over the right shoulder. a
long march with such weight must in
capacitate all but the very strongest men
and it is only too easy to understand how
it happens that knapsacks and impedi-
ments are invariable dropped the moment
the first shot is fired. In the French
army the practice is GENERALLY to order
the men to lay down their knapsacks on
going into action, but the stamina of the
men has been tried to the uttermost be-
fore they get up to the front by the carry
ing Of such monstrous loads. Picked
men may stand it, but it is sufficient to
look ut an average regiment Of the line
after few miles marching to form an
opinion of this vicious system of over
loading.

Value of Cent and Five Cent Pieces.

The one and two cent coins now in cir
culation are composed of Copper, 50 per
cent, and Tin and Zinc, 5 per cent.
The weight of the five cent coin is
T.16 grains the value of the Nickel is
6l.20 per pound in gold, and the Copper
twenty-four cents in currency per pound.
The weight of the three cent piece is 30
grains; the two cent SO grains, and the
one cent 4S grains, from which we readily
determine that the value of the five cent
coin is $0.007S3, of the three cent
$O.0O469, the two cent $00041, and of
the one cent $0.00205. We may there
fore say that in round numbers FIVE cent
piece is worth nearly 8 mills, and that 20
of them, or one dollar in face value, are
worth as metal less than 16 cents; and
that one hundred one cent coins are worth
as metal 203 cents.

A Just Sentence.

Recently in the Quarter sessions,
Judge Paxson imposed sentence on John
w. Baldy, alias Welsh, and w. H. Dun
can, for the outrage on Miss Jervis on
South Broad street, Phila., on the night
Of July 18th. The Judge said:
I" | am very sorry for both of you, and
it pains me to see in such a position men
like yourselves, in the prime of life, who
might and ought now to be useful mem
bers of society. But you have been gull
ty of the most heinous and brutal crime
that has for years disgraced the history
of this city. Never has the community
been more aroused than byyour foul deeds,
and in some communities you would have
met with a more summary judgment
then the one you are now to receive, you
would have been suspended at the end of
rope from tho limb of the nearest tree.
But we are law-abiding people, and
though our most violent passions are
aroused and our dearest sentiments out
ragged, we submit to the regular course
OF the law for the vindication of our
wrongs. Your crimes are grave and your
punishment shall be correspondingly
heavy"
The prisoners were sentenced to the
payment of $4,000 fine and an imprison-
ment of thirty-two years in the Eastern
Penitentiary."

The Remarkably Hot SUMMER Solar
Spots to Blame for il.

One Of the most remarkable spot-clus
ters ever seen on the sun is now visible
on that side which is turned toward
us, and situated in about 25 degrees of
sun latitude An observation taken at
6 o'clock, few afternoons since, showed
a group of fourteen spots, most of them
small, but the central one very large.
The principal spot was intensely black
and shaped something like minnie bull
let, the axle being nearly parallel to the
suns equator; it was about II 900 miles
broad by 10000 miles in length. Around
it was a monster penumbra, its outline
corresponding almost exactly with that of
the spot proper, except at the apex of the
bullet-shaped mass, where it flowed off,
forming wavy tail, which extended full
ly 100000 miles, running east, and then
curving round to the north.
The tail portion enclosed three of the
smaller spots. and just touched the outside
Of two others The appearance of the
penunlbra in the telescope can best be
likened to that of a closely woven spiders
web, which had been thickly strewn over
with dust particles. The diameter of the
penumbra at its broadest part was little
more than $4,000 miles, and its total area
750,0O0,O0 of miles, or one part in $50
of the total apparent surface of the sun.

How $50 are Made out of S45.

A very ingenious trick, by which a
gang OF swindlers are making money by
mutilatlng nj tional bank-notes of the
denomination of five dollars, has recently
come to our notice. The dodge consists
in making ten bills out of nine, and is so
managed that there is but one pasting to
each of the manufactured notes. The
nine whole bills are taken, and from the
right of the first, one-tenth is sliced off
from the right of the third three tenths,
and so on to the number nine, from which
nine-teDths are taken from the right, or
what amounts to the same thing, one
tenth from the left Number one is
pasted to the residue of number two, from
which two-tenths had been taken, these
two-tenths are made to answer the place
of the three-tenths taken from number
three, and so ON through. Thus nine
fve-dollar notes arc completed, making
the original nine, with tenth gone from
the left as tenth note. 1t will be seen
that but tenth is gone from each bill
aud in a different place on every one
and little ingenious pasting makes the
loss imperceptible to ordinary observers.
1t is certain that large numbers OF these
mutilated bills have been put in circula
ton, and our readers will do well to look
out for them. The rogues who have car
ried out the fraud were cunning in selec-
ting the denomination they did. Larger
bills would have been more closely scruti-
nized, and smaller ones would not be so
remunerative. The department will not
redeem bill which bears evidence on its
face that it has been tampered WITH and
we advise our friends to scrutinize their
fve-dollar bills closely,-FitsJurg EOen-
ing Hail.

The " Pain-Killer."

The foreign and domestic demand for Perry Da-
Wis u Sons great medicine--the Pain Killer-was
never before so large as it has been of late and we
think the time has arrived when the declaration
may be made without the possibility of refutation,
that the city of Providence, in the State of Rhode
Island, of the United States of America, has fur
nished the habitable globe with medicine, which,
in point of universally of demand, extent of use
funess, complete efficiency for all the purposes for
which it is designed and widespread, enduring
popularity, has never been equalled by any medi-
cine in Europe or America.
The un,rersality Of the demand for the Pain
Killer, is novel, interesting, and surprising fea-
ture in the history of this medicine. Its fame has
gone out" into every quarter of the habtable
globe The Pain Killer is now regularly sold in
large and steadily Increasing quantities, not only
to general agents in every State and Territory of
the Union, and every Prounce Of British America
but to Buenos Ayres, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Chill
and other South American States to the Sandwich
Islands; to England and Continental Europe; to
Mozambique. Madagascar Zanzibar and other
African lands; to Australia and Calcutta, RangoOn
and other places in India 1t has also been sent to
China and we doubt if there is any foreign port or
inland city in Africa OF Asia, which is frequented
by American and European missionaries, travellers
or traders into which the Pain Killer has not been
introduced and been sought after.
The ertent of its usefulness is another great fea-
ture of this remarkable medicine. 1t is not only
the best thing ever known, as everybody will con-
fess for bruises, cuts, burns, &C., but for dysen-
terry or cholera or any sort of bowel complaint it
is q remedy unsurpassed for efficiency and rapid
ty of action. In the great cities of British India
and in the West India Islands and other hot eli
mates it has become the standard medicine for all
suoh complaints, as well as for dyspepsia, liver
complaints and other kindred disorders for
coughs and colds, canker, asthma and rheumatic
difficulties, it has been proved by the most abund-
ant and convincing trials and testimony, to be an
invaluable medicine. The proprietors are in pos
session of letters from persons of the highest char
acter and responsibility testifying, in unequivocal
terms to the cures effected and the satisfactory
results produced, in an ALMOST endless variety of
cases, by the use of this great medicne.-ProU,

European War News.

A terrible battle appears to have been
fought between the French and Prus-
slams, on the 9th inst. In this engage
ment fully 100000 troops were brought
into action. The result was a very deci-
ded victory for the Prussians. The loss
of. life was terrible on both sides, and in
addition to this loss, the French had about
10000 taken prisoner. This battle was
fought near Woerth, which is small
town, about twelve miles south h-west of
Weissenbourg, the same distance south
east of Bitche and some nine miles from
Hagenau 1t stands almost in the centre
of the triangle formed by Hagenau,
Bitche, and Weissenbourg. 1t is almost
at the base of the Vosges Mountains the
surrounding country being exceedingly
hilly. By the dispatch of the Crown
Prince Of Prussia, which says that Mar
shal MacMahor's army retired upon
Bitche, we are placed in doubt whether
the French line of communication be-
tween. that place and Hagenau is intact
or not, Should it be broken, new line
is possible between Bitche and Brumath.
The report of this fight, and the result
brought political matters to crisis, and
compelled change in the ministry. All
the political factions unite for the saving
of France, from regard to the honor Of the
nation-not from respect to Napoleon
who is fast losing ground in the esteem
of the people. AS matters now stand,
another battle is imminent at any mo-
ment.
