The French Nltraillcur.

Tie Mitnillcur, which isas vet
mtricd in practical warfare, is con.
sidered by the French as the most
destructive military weapon known
Recently, 800 wrctched horses, al.
ready condemned to the poloax,
were purchased at the rate of ioul
or five frances each, and ranged at q
considerable distance. Two nit,
Tlllcures were brought to play on
them and in three minutes after tive
discharges, not one OF the animals
remained standing. On a seconc
occasion, 500 horses were brought
down at a single trial. This iormi-
dable weapon is constructed as fol-
lows:
1t is a light 37,barrelcd gun, ar
ranged that its barrels may be dis
charged simultaneously, or consecu
lively. The 81 cartridges, intcndc,
for one charge, are contained in q
small box. A steel plate, with cor
responding holes is placed on til,
open box, which is then reversed
and the cartridges fall points tore
most into their respective holes
They are prevented from fallin,
Trough by the rims at their bases
The loaded plate is then Introduce

Der of steel pins, pressed by spira
springs, are only prevented from

slowly by a handle, the cartridge
are fired one by one. 1.-THE plate /

ADDRESS TO YOUNG MEN.
BIZ Rer. B. II. Palmer, Of Men
Orleans.

DR.. Palmer after some prelimina-
ry remarks, said;
And now as these in the dew Of
their youth look forth upon life
the question occurs, what is the
prospect of success to me in life ?
Casting my eyes over these troubled
waters may | hope to steer my bark
successfully over that sea and reach
that port which / desire to attain,
or shall | be stranded upon some
unfriendly shore with melancholy
wreck of all these bright hopes
which throw their radiance over
my youth? What do we understand
by success? There is no little dan
ger with the young to measure sue
cess altogether by a material value
they are in danger of regarding sue
cess as being determined solely by
their wealth. He did not propose
to teach them how to succeed IN be-
coming rich, even if he were COM
peteut to do it, but said he, if in
their vocabulary success means tc
fill life with brave and honest deeds
to build their names in the history
of their names, and go down al
length to their rest in their grave
amid the regret of the wise and the
good, so that a grateful posterlty
should arise around their tombs,
and lay their offerings of gratitude
upon them, it was competent for
him to say now with industry, pur-
pose and will, even those who are
not gifted with the largest endow-
ments of gcnious may acquire a
measure of success. That man sue
ceeds in life who is able to extract
from it all the cnjoyments, and to
reap from it all the profit which be-
longs to him and his own station
that man succeeds in life who place;
this world in its right relation to the
next, and stands as it were upon
the edge of the two plains as they
touch each other, looking to the
splendid realities of the spiritual ant
eternal future realizes that the pres
ent, the earthly and the temporal i:
the seed time of harvest which he il
the grand and splendid future is to
reap. Those men attain the mos
eminent success, in the broad use O
that word, who are prepared to en-
ter upon life and to grapple ewith it
duties with solid, forceful anC
massive character. What are tht
