just now there is some trouble among Bnt-
ish officials on account of the disclosure of a
State secret of great importance. The Glad
stone government paid the respectable sum
OF $50, 900 for the exclusive secret of making
the destructive /" fish" torpedo, doubtless in
tending that this new and terrible instrument
Of naval warfare should be quietly kept out OF
public view, as Bismarck kept back the nee
dle-gun, which won the victories in the Aus
tro-Prussian war of 1866 When distinguish
ed foreigners" were admitted and permitted
to 90 through the constructive departments
at Woolwich, they were not allowed to see the
g fish torpedo, and mention Of it in CONVEX
sation was avoided or tabooed. Few but the
persons entrusted with the making of this
engine of wholesale slaughter of men and de
struction of ships knew anything of its
principle. Nevertheless, the secret has
oozed out, for the German Admiralty has
paid q large price for it to an Englishman
who claimed to be the inventor. When En-
peror William was at Kiel, the other day,
at the launch of the formidable iron-clad
Frederick the Great, he was SO anxious
to see the capabilities Of the "fish torpedo
fully tested that an experiment, che success OF
which much exceeded expectation, was made
under his own eye. In Prussia the secret is
said to have been intrusted only to one officer
and to the chief of the engineering depart
ment. The authorities in England disbe'
lieve the idea that the "fish torpedo was
invented twice, and are persuaded that some
treachery ut Woolwich has betrayed the secret
for which the Gladstone administration paid
SO largely.

Narshal MacMahon Is . very simple minded,
quiet person, and had he followed out his own
desires, would never accepted the high posi-
ton he now occupies: But the wife OF me
Marshal is q very ambitious and most capable
woman, and she has great influence over her
husband She will prevent his ever giving up
the power and Office which she caused him to
accept until the expiration of his term, and
SO well do the Legitimists and Bonaparhsts
know this that they most cordially detest the
good lady. Madame La Marechale is not
handsome woman, but she has fine head, q
broad brow, and very black, searching eye
She is firm, very intelligent, and has ever been
noted for her unbounded charity. Placed in
power. she follows the bent of her mind, in
the latter way, assiduously. and is becoming
most truly popular. She is not ostentatious
in her goodness to the poor and suffering, but
her charities are general and constant. Her
influence over the Marshal is unbounded, as l
said above, and she will prove more than
match for even the schemers in the Assembly.
A few months past, when there was question
OF having the Comte de Chambord at once as
sumo the throne, an effort was made to induce
Madame la Marechale to persuade her husband
into favoring the scheme. He was to be made
next in power to the King" Lieutenant Cen
eral of the kingdom" or something to that eff
feet. To all such plans and promises, La
Marechale turned a deaf ear. 81 would rather
INV husband should be the Chief Officer of the
Republic" she replied, " than the first serv-
ant Of any monarch ;" and, from that day, the
Legitimists, who had seemed SO certain of her
aid at the proper moment, have evinced more
discouragementan and concern.
The Bonapartists hate La Marechale, and
are very bitter in their denunciations against
"petticoat government" They feel that the
wife of the President will never be an ally OF
theirs, and dislike her accordingly. To a
prominent member of the party, who was
dwelling upon the fact that it was Napoleon
the Third who made her husband Duke of
Magenta, she replied, 'But it was no more
than just, as at Magenta my husband saved
Napoleon from destruction. Had he not
checked the Austrians there, the Empsror
would have been caught in trap. The title
he gave was well-merited reward-no more. y

LOCOMOTIVES CAPBICES.-It is perfectly
well kNown TO experienced engineers that il
q dozen different locomotive engines were
made at the same time, Of the same power.
Cor the same purpose, Of like material, in the
same factory, each OF these locomotive en-
g;nes would come out with its own peculiar
whims and ways. only ascertainable By ex-
pegence. One engine will take great meal
of es2l and water at once; another will not
hear TO such 4 thing, but insists on being
coaXaa by spadefus and bucketfuls. One is
disposed to start OFT when required at the
top of Ills speed; another must have little
time TO warm Mt his work and to get well
unto it.
These reculiarities are so accurately mas.
tered by skSttuI drivers that only particular
men can persuade engines 10 do their best.
1t would seem as il some of these "excel-
lent Honsters' declared, on being brought
from the stable, IF it's Smith who is to
drive won't go; if its my friend Stokes, I,
am agreeable to an gthing." All locomotive.
engines are low spirited in damp and foggy
weather. They have great satisfaction in
their work when the air is crisp and frosty.
AT such time they are very cheerful and
brisk, bnt they strongly object to haze and
mists. These are points of character on
which they are united. 1t is in their pecll-
liarities and varieties Of character that they
are most remarkable
