ANCIENT AND MODERN WARs.-A CORE
spondent of q northern journal Wrltlns
from Paris gives comparison between the
losses of armies in the battles Of the first
empire with those resulting from engage
ments where improved firearms have been
employed, which, it is held, Will show hu,
manitarians that the old buck-and-bal
cartridges, fired from " Brown Bess," were
much more deadly than rifled cannon, nee
die guns. and chassepots. Annexed are the
figures Sadowa-4O0, 900 men engaged
SO, 900 killed and wounded !; about per
cent, Marengo-5S,0 600 combatants; num-
Der of killed and wounded, .13,OO0--that IS,
nearly 25 per cent. Austerlitz-Loss, %,
600 out of 10000; over 13 per cent.
Jena-4,O0O out of 2S0,000 combatants
nearly 8 per cent. Borodino-S0,0 900 killed
and wounded out of 25O, 900 engaged; about
80 per cent. LeipZig-50,G 900 out OF 450,OOo
between II and II per cent. AT Magenta
the French lost 8 per cent. and the AUS
trians 10 per cent. of their forces. AT Sol,
ferino, where the French alone used rl1led
cannon, their loss amounted to !3 per cent,
while the Austrians lost but II per cent:
The correspondent might have gone still
farther back, to the wars Of Frederick the
Great. who lost at Kolin 1900 out OF
IS, 900, and ut Kunersdorf II 900 men out oil
so, O,OOO-two-thirds in one case and more
than half in the other. If we 60 back to
period long before the invention of firearms,
we shall find the slaughter far transcendlng
any effected by the present engines or de,
struction. When the Roman legions hurled
their heavy spears upon their enemies
at twelve PAGES, and then closed in with
their swords, there was an aggregate
Of slaughter effected Of which modern
times have no conception. Ancient
wars, in their hand-to-hand encounters,
were more severe test of manhood than
the modern. where machinery is so much
used, and where coming to close quarters is
SO unusual that, in regard to one OF the
battles of the present war, correspondent
says, admiringly, that there was " almost
hand-to-hand encounter" 1t is Il pity that
battles could mot be fought altogether by
machinery instead of men. War Is not only
in general great evil and wrong to hu,,
manity, but as now conducted it IS not
even test of the comparative valor OF the
contestants, as generalship and improved
weapons decide the day. AS to any vindi-
cation which they offer of justice, history
proves that in nine cases out OF ten Night
has prevailed irrespective of Right.

- IA STRANGE STORY OF THE EMPEROR ~
AT Longueville the Emperor and house
hold encamped Sunday night OATH. Early
Monday morning they were awakened by
cannon shot. Rushing out of their tents
they beheld shells falling all about their
encampment. The escort mounted, and
instantly the Emperor tumbled into his
carriage in the utmost haste. .7r.,..e... b. i. s~
Meanwhile the Prussian reconnaissance,
which had caused this alarm, was, easily
driven back, and the imperial carriages,
