The weapons that will be used in she
Franco PrussIan contest are thus described
by the Boston AdUerfiser.
Prussia fights with the needle-gun, as she
fought four years ago. In fact her infantry
has been armed with this weapon for more
than twenty years. and has gained famil-
iarity with il which counts for as much as
the intrinsic excellences of the breach-load-
ing rifle. The pecgliarities of the Zi1ndn0d-
e!getChr were SO thoroughly explained at the
time of the Sadowa campaign that few
readers having an interest in such matters
can have forgotten them. A cartridge con-
tanning a Illuminating compound between the
powder and the bullet and ignited by needle
thrust into it by the action of a spiral spring,
this is the main feature of the contrlvance
which by its simple and rapid loading and
firing brought Austria to her knees and put
Prussia in the front rank of the nations. It's
advantages are great and manifest; but it has
also such drawbacks that other nations. in
stead of initiating it, have sought to obtain
something better. Its cartridge is dangerous
to handle and difficult to transport and the
exposure and rough usage of long campaign,
it Is thought, would seriously injure the
weapon itself.

town will be fully represented by it's full

The European Situation.

Little progress, sc fer az actual fighting is
concerned, has been made in the war be-
tween France and Prussia the past week.
B 9TH those Powers have been busily employ
ed in preparing for the impending conflict,
and in fortifying against invasion or sudden
surprises from without their respective terri
tories. A new cause of irritation and excite
ment among the other European Powers has
been developed during the past three days,
by the public alton in the London Times of
a secret treaty said to have been proposed
between France and Prussia in 1866. We
have spoken more fully Of that subject in an
article in another column Prior to the pub
LEGATION of that document in the Tunes OF
Monday. England, Austria, Russia, Den
mark and several of the Italian or German
States had officially proclaimed an intended
neutrality in the present war. But should
it turn out that France had been privately
intriguing to secure undue prominence in
affairs on the continent, the whole aspect oil
war affairs may become changed. A despatch
from Coblents, July Oath, says:
