Animate Artillery Carriages.

According to the London Globe, there
is some idea of forming mitrailleuse cam
ell batteries in India. The gun is TO be
mounted on and fired from the camel's
back; the latter kneeling down at the
word action" 1t was at one time pro-
posed to fire mountain guns of the backs
Of mules. Sigel tiled it, we believe, dur
ing the late war in the mountains of
Virginia. Tie simply failed; but in Eng
land they had funny time. A donkey
was procured, and small gun was strap
ped firmly to cradle resting on the
pack saddle, so that the muzzle of the
gun pointed over the animals tail
The donkey, as the story goes, was led I o
tue marshes. accompanied by the com
mittee and several "hig wigs" who were
attracted by the novelty Of the experiment
On the arrival, the gun was loaded. the
donkey turned with his tail toward the
earth mound to be used as marx, and
the usual preparation made to fire with n
lanyard and friction tube. Hereupon
however one of the committee remarked
that this mode Of firing might possibly
derange the aim by the jerk in pulling
the lanyard. A discussion followed, and
it was decided to use a slow match, and
this being duly ignited the committee
and big wigs" stepped few PAGES to
the rear to await the result. Hitherto
the donkey had taken rather sleepy in
tsrest in the proceedings, but the fixing
of the match on his back caused him to
prick up his ears and finally turn sudden
ly round, leveling the muzzle of the gun
directly at the spectators, who skedadded
in all directions; the Secretary threw
himself fiat on his face; there was a mo
ment of agonizing suspense, then bang
went the gun and the shot went richo
chetting away in one direction while the
wretched donkey turned a complete som
ersaalt in the other. The experiment
was satisfactory.
