IHE Army and Mary Journal gives facts
which show that the cha,sepot is better
weapon than the needle-gun. They are both
"bolt guns;" that is, tie breech is in both
cases closed by a bolt with knob for TIE
hand, and, so far as the mechanical details of
opening, closing, and firing are concerned,
neither has a material advantage over the
other But in calibre, shape OF ball, and
charge of powder the chassepot is the better.
The callbre OF the needle-gun is sixty two
hundredths, which is too large to allow the
beat shaped ball without making the latter
too heavy, and requiring too much powder
The charge of powder is fiity.sx grains; the
ball weighs about four hundred and ninety
six grains, and i, shaped like an egg. The
chassepot has a caibre of forty-five hun
dredths; the ball is one inch long, nearly cyl
indrical in form, tapering from forty two one
hundredths calibre in the front end, which IS
hemispherical, to forty-eight one-hundths at
the base; weight of ball, four hundred and
eleven grains weight of powder eight grains.
These proportions Of the chassepot are in ac-
cordance with later scientific experiments.
The Prussian officers who experimented so
long in the city finally adopted smaller bore.
The more elongate projectile of the chassepot
weighs less, provokes less resistance from the
air, and propelled by 60 per cent. more of
powder. The chassepot ought to carry far
ther and with much fatter curve. But it
has been in the army about year or two,
and the Frencbmen are not as familiar with
it as with the needle-gm. The latter can fire
more rapidly and with more skill, and after
the parties get within five hundred yards of
each other, the difference of the two guns in
possible range is Of less consequence.

ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free

make some preparations dangerous and

some eligible spot whereon he could build
himself, most literally, a "princely home."-
He was of France, and had been king of Sici-
ly and Spain. and all that was favored by Ia
ture in soil, climate, and scenery was to him
familiar. In pursuit of his purpose of found
ing home in America, he had visited some
OF the most celebrated localities of the North
ern and Middle States, but wavered in max
ing selection. The moment, however, he
saw the little trout lake, aud examined its
surroundings, he seemed inspired. He threw
aside all ceremony when conversiDg with its
owner, he gratifed the old German by indul
gins in familiar conversation and in smoking
one OF his 'corn-cob pipes" and at last his ex
majesty announced his desire to purchase the
farm.
Contrary to all expectations, Barhyte re-
fused to sell. The real value of the property
at the time might have been two or three
thousand dollars, and Joseph Bonaparte in
creased his offer from the sum named to the
enormous one, as then considered. of thirty
thousand dollars; but the queer old proprie.
tor refused to part with his domain-his trout
pond, he said, should never be other than his
while he lived. Thus escaped Saratoga the
fashionable prestige of having a palace and a
park, which were subsequently created at
Bordentown, New Jersey; and such was the
estimate that the eldest brother of Napoleon
placed upon the trout ponds and scenery in
the vicinity of the world-renowned Saratoga
