Some curious experiments have been
made in England for the purpose of
demonstrating the value of infantry as
opposed to artillery. The result was
not such as was anticipated. A half
battery of artillery was represented by
three logs of wood painted black, each
supported by couple of trestles. The
guns were at full intervals, and placed
on shelf of the target butt, about
twelve feet above the level of the range.
In rear of each gun, at a distance of
some four yards, we're placed, resting
on a slightly inclined position against
the target butt, q brown blanket on a
frame eight feet square. These repre-
sented the limbers and teams. The gun
ners were supposed to be kneeling in
shallow pits, giving some slight protec-
ton, and were represented by black
boards four feet high by twenty inches
broad, the top diminishing like the sum-
NIT of a tombstone. There are five
gunners to each gun, one gunner to
each timber, and an officer. In order to
give an air of realism to the experiment,
a fire of wood and straw was kindled on
one side of the guns, in order that the
latter might be partly shrouded in
smoke as they would be in action. OPP
posed to these guns were two sections,
each of ten picked marksmen. The
range was 1,4OO yards, and ten rounds
per man were consumed in independ-
ent firing, and ten rounds in volley
firing. Two hundred cartridges were
fired, and but single dummy gunner
was hit Yet the English journals are
persuaded that infantry is more effec-
tive than artillery.

A COUNTRY THANKSGIVING.

Ay, goodman, close the great barn door;
The mellow harvest time is DER
The earth has given her treasures meet
of golden corn and hardened wheat.
You and YOUR neighbors well have wrought,
And of the summers bounty caught;
Won from her smiles and from her tears
Much goods perhaps; for many years.
You come tribute now to pay
The bells proclaim Thanksgiving day.
Well have you sown, well have you reaped;
And of the riches you have heaped,
You think, perhaps, that you will give
part, that others, too may live.
But if such argument you use,
Your niggard bounty refuse.
No gifts you on the altar lay
IN any sense are given away.
Lo rings from heaven voice abroad:
Who helps Gods poor doth lend the Lord"
What is your wealth? He'd have you know
To have it, you must let it go.
Think you the hand by Heaven struck cold
Will yet have power to clutch its gold?
Shrouds have no pockets, do they say?
Beholdl show you then the way:
Wait not till death shall shut the door,
But send your cargoes on before.
Lot he that giyeth of his hoard
TO help Gods poor doth lend the Lord.
To-day. my brethren-do not wait;
Just yonder stands Dame Kelly's gate;
And would you build mansion fair
In heaven, send your lumber there
Each stick that on her wood pile lies
May raise dome beyond the skies;
You stop the rents within her walls,
And yonder rise your marble halls:
For every pane that stops the wind
There shineth one with jasper lined
Your wealth is gone, your form lies cold,
But in the city paved with gold
Your hoard is held in hands divine;
1T bears a name that marks it thine.
Behold the bargain we have made; @
With usury the debt is paid. o.
No moth doth eat, no thieves do steal,
No suffering heart doth envy feel.
Ring out the words, Who of his hoard
Doth help Gods poor doth lend the Lord.
60 get your cargoes under way;
The bells ring out Thanksgiving day!

Sanguinary DueIS.


The duels of olden time were in their
results very unlike the French duel of
to-day. For there is CHASTITY and true
story OF two noblemen of Paris who
quarreled, and determined to settle
their differences without any of the Gus
tomary formalities Accordingly, they
entered coach, one of the slow, lum-
berlng old vehicles of the time, and di-
rected the coachman to drive slowly
twice round the Place Royale. He did
SO, and then alighted from his box to
take the further commands of his mas
ter. But that master was never to issue
another order. He lay in the coach
dead-at once a murderer and victim,
for beneath him was the corpse of his
old friend, his new enemy, pierced with
innumerable wounds. A duel equally
sanguinary took place in the reign of
James L., between two noblemen; the
cause being the almost invariable one
e fair ladye." The Duke was the chal-
lenger, and, contrary to the laws of duel
ing, allowed the Lord his choice of weap-
ons. They met in Hyde Park on cold
wet, miserable morning, and, as was
usual in those days, commenced with
pistols. They fired two shots apiece
with but trifing results; the seconds,
even at this early stage, being unceas-
ing in their endeavors to effect recon
citation. The combatants then seized
their swords and rushed upon each 9TH
er. The impetuosity of the Dukes as
sault had well-nigh cost the Lord his
life, as, in receiving it, he slipped on
the wet grass and stumbled on to his
knee, narrowly escaping thrust
through the heart. Again the seconds
lnterpose, but without result; and, with
redoubled fury the combat is renewed.
At last they arrive at ad-lock their
arms are round each others body, their
swords are firmly interlaced, and their
glaring, stern-set faces are almost touch
ing each other. To and fro their bodies
sway, each knowing that the one who
gets clear first has the other at his mer-
cy, till, by one simultaneous wrench,
they spring apart, and their swords
both whirl into the air and fall far from
them. Nothing now is further from
the thoughts of either of them than to
resign the contest. They rush eagerly
for their swords and again fall to. Soon
the Lord is run through the sword-arm,
and the Duke, in making the thrust,
slips little and falls forward. Quick
as lightning the wounded man shifts
his sword from right hand to left and
runs it through the Dukes body. But
in so doing he leaves his whole body
unguarded. He cannot withdraw his
sword, and the Duke, with the weapon
still in his body, makes desperate lunges
at him. For some time he wards off
the thrusts with his hands, but the
Duke, closing, runs him through just
below the heart. In falling forward he
drew his sword out of the Dukes body,
and, stumbling across the blade, snapped
it short at the hilt The Duke, seeing
this, broke his sword purposely across
his knee, and, staggering wildly with
outstretched hands, fell upon the dead
bods of his rival, then, with one despair
ing groan, turned his face heavenward
and died.-Argosy.

WHEN an Afghan is about to sell his
horse, he carries on the dicker with the
intending purchaser by pressures of
their fingers concealed by his robe, and
though the animal is carefully exam
med, of course, not word is said. Each
squeeze of the hand means 5 rupees.
The theory is that the horse would lose
flesh through sorrow if he thought his
master would part with him.

WASHINGTON, June 18.-The Senate
has ended its additions to the Sundry

them. The extravaganza of the upper
chamber has raised bill, liberal in Its
appropriations when it passed the lower
House, to S27 100000. Six millions of
this is due to the Geneva Award bill, but
not far from five millions has been add
ed by the Senate, none of it needed ,much
of il criminal excess. The Senate con-
fereas-Dorsey, Window, and Beck-are
all men of an extravagant turn, and
while they are confronted on the side of
the House with two of the most econom-
ical Democrats having seats in that
chamber. Atkins and Hewitt, the latter

does not want the session extended, and

Furniture at the Opera House.

Furniture at the Opera House.
Messrs. j. & J. N. Harman, the well
known furniture manufacturers, of No.
40 King street, have kindly rendered the
ladies Of the Wesleyan Female College
the use Of two handsome parlor suits,
which will be placed on the stage Of the
Grand Opera House, this evening, on the
occasion OF the College Commencement.
They will also be allowed to remain
there tomorrow evening, to Grace the
commencement exercises Of the Boys
High School.
These suits were manufactured by the
Messrs. Harman, and are very beautiful,
being similar in design, but different in
finish. They comprise seven pieces each
sofa, large rocker gents reception
chair and four wall chairs. The wood
work is elaborately gilded, and the up
holstering ia in raw silk, while the
springs are nrm, durable and comforta-
bic. More beautiful furniture is rarely
seen, even in the finest mansions of the
country.
The Messrs. Harman report business
better with them now than ever before,
and they can scarcely keep up with their
orders. Their store room, which is filled
with finished work, is one of the largest
in the country, being 40 feet deep, and
over twenty feet wide. They propose, in
a few days, commence work on a new
front to their store, which will contain
large and beautiful bulk windows.

LONDON, June 20, 1878.

adjourned at quarter past four.
AFTER BULGARIA BEssERABIA.
The North German Gazette says
"When the Bulgarian question is settled
the proposed retrocession of Bessarabia
will probably form the subject of search
ing consideration. Russia will not rec
ognize Roumania's right OF appeal to the
Treaty of Paris, as Roumania was not a
party thereto. Roumania must consider
whether she had better yield to thewishes

over the non-partisans.
There is no enthusiasm away from the
