An elaborate pnprr in the IUme ilea Deux
Moruhs, written by M. Xavicr Raymond, con
taiiiR, in connection wuit a review of the war in
iit-miany, some interuntini; statement's concern
ing the necdle pun nn1 the dillerent varieties of
breech-loading anus.
He says of thu Prnsnlau wonoon that Its
mechanism is very simple, and easily alutcd
even b tlie lea-t intelligent private. Thai it is
apiactical weapon is eullioieiitly apparent Iroru
the tact that It has been in use for twenty-Uvo
years, and has sto.,d three campaigns victo
rioiiBly. btill, Its doiecis are serious As regards
ranpe, aceurary ot aim, and penetrating poer,
it leaves a ercat deal to ho desired. It shoot
straight cnouub r.p to three hundred metres, but.
declines above that ranee up to six hundred
metres, bejond which distance she does not
carry. At 'that range even improved bullets
will fall at the loot ol the target, whilst the
muskets of other European armies shoot hard
at one thousand nucl even twelve hundred
metres. It is owing to t his and not, as Dr.
Kusscll fays in one of his letters to the London
Times, its small size that the bullet "skims by
a bone" where a French or Bnelish bullet would
break it.
11. Raj mom) ascribes this defect to the impor
ted closing ot the b-cech, which permits a grem
escape ot i:us. aud to the extent of the windage.
Another drawback is tliut tne musket must be
cleaned very frequently. Iu wet weather the
resieue left by tne p jwder takes the shape 01
thick mud, and in dry wcalUer it becotuc3 a
haid crust, which impedes tne tree inotion of
the sliding tune; mud or crnst, it hu lo be
washed away, else the weapon would be useless.
M. lt:i inond does not appear to be quite mire
how oiten this operation is necessary, but he
has heard that cleaning becomes necessary ar.er
the musket has bun tired titty rounds.
M. Raymond theu proceeds to fihow what has
been doue in I' ranee with reference to breech
loaders. Among the various weapons which
he mentions, two are worthy of nonce. The
first is the rifle adopted by the Cent Gardes as
early as lii'3 a beautiful weapon, very
lieht and handy which shoots very straight,
sind entries twelve hundred metres: 'the bullft
is small, the whole cartridge weiuhinsr ouly
twelve gramme?: the charge is exploded by a
brass pin, driven laterally througu the copper
socket ruled with fulminating powder; this socket
closes the cartridge. Th s musket was invented
by Colonel Trcilie du Hea.ilieu. It is almost
perfect as a weapon, but has one tatal fault it
is far too costly and delicate to tand the rough
usage of a campaign.
The breech loader, however, which appears to
have found favor with the Ireuoh (Jovernuent
is one invented by M. Chassepot, whicn h.s
been on trial at intervals lor the last ten years.
It has. as M. Raymond sajs, emerged from the
limbo ot committees and itommittee-rooms; the
battalion of foot Chasseurs of the Imperial
(iuard, now at the camp 01 Chalons, having,
ninee its arrival there, been provided with it.
M. Raymond gives thi following account ot the
results obtained by this weapon.'iireiuising that
the musket was iired, not by picked men, but
by privates taken at random from the ranks:
THE FRENCH BREECn-LOAnL-rt.
"As regards the rapidity of fire, which appears
nowadays to be the principal desideratum, a
man with a lot 01 loose cartridues oeside him
can fire the CuasFcpjt musket twelve times m
one minute; but that rate the most skilful and
robust soldier cannot keep up neyond about
thiny rounds; past that the tire perceptibly
slackens. The same thing occurs with the
Prussian i.cedle-gun otter the taeuty-titih
round. Tlie4cause is purely physical, i. e the
latigue of the man, whose left aim has often to
support unaided the whole weight, ot the wea
pon. If, instead of having loose cartridges by
ths soldier's side, he has to take them out of
his pouch, tne rate of tiring declines to six rounds
per minute; but it averages seven or eight rounds
per minute if the man is allowed to take his
cartriotres from the right-liand pocket of his
tiousers. The accuracy of the weapon has been
ascertained bv making the men ur at targets
two metres hi:h by two in breadth, at a ramrc
of five hundred metres, using a rest lor the
rifle. At that range a grent mauy men tiling a
hundred rounds lodged a hundred bullets in tne
target (or, as we should say, there were very
lew wide ones). The point-blank rauce of the
Chassepot musket is fixed at live hundred
metres, the extreme range exceeds one thou
sand metres, and the weapon requires no clean
ing before two hundred and fifty rounds have
been Bred. One ihousaud and twelve hundred
shots have been tirsd with the stme musket
without its sustaining any damage. Tne Chasse
pot musket may, therelore, sustain very
advantageously a competition with the
needle-gun. Its superhnity arises chiefly
Irom the more perlect closing of the breach,
wnich Is complete, wuilst it is very defective lu
tne tundtwdeigewehr. All the gases developed
by ihe ignition of the charge are utilized to
piopel the bullet, wbien adds to its range and
penetrating power, whilst the perfect combus
tion ot the powder naturally obviates th ne
cessity of frequent cleanings, which the Prussian
weapon cannot do without. Croaicprs will
lament that such a long time should have
elapsed beiore its merits were recogni.ed, but it
must be acknowledged tnat the reults arrived
at are important. Let us add but this k, the
dark siae of the picture that it the Chassepot
rifle were adopted as the regulation iuusket lor
the intautry (which means two million of
muskets), it would be requisite to anply for a
credit ot 100,0()0,000f. to manufacture them
(2O,U0O,O0O)."
THE AUSTRIAN'S AND THE NRBDLE OUK.
HI. Raymond then speaks ot the gun in us a in
the Austrian service a mu.y.le loader on a new
principle, that of M. Lorenz, which, both as
regards ranee and precision, he thinks may com
pare advantageously with any other arm on the
try stem; but that system in condemned, lie
ays:
"General Benedek, in nn order of the day,
warned his soldiers of the rapid tire of the
needle-gun, but told them to come to close
quarters, and trust to their bayonets
and the butt ends of their muskets. The
advice waB worthy of a brave man, but
was it possible to follow it 1 The
ueedle-un, limited as its range is, sends
a bullet five hundred ards, aud that is a lonar
distance to get over under Buch a pelting storm
of lead aB the Prussian infantry can shower into
the space before it. General lieiiedek, who was
at Sulieriuo, where he displayed no common
energy aud talents, must have known thac at
that battle no cavalry, auntiiuu or French, was
able to come up to tbemtautiy opposed to them.
On either side the tire disorganized the charges
before they could reach the squares, aud tuis in
sDite ot the undoubted eallautry of the men
tad yet horses chargo at a more rapid pace than
men do, and on both rides he luiautry had only
percussion muzz'e-ioaaeis."
BREECH-LOA DBR3 1! ENGLAND.
At the Wimbledom rilie meeting in England.
last month, several varieties of breech-loaders
were tested. The lesults are summed up by the
Miiurauy ittoieioas tollows:
"The best performances iu the trial for accti
racy were those ot the Westley Richards and tno
Spencer at two hundred, and the iierdan at five
hundred yards. The greatest speed wasootained
with the Remington carbine, from which one
competitor actually got out titty-one bullets iu
three minutes. Hut this was only doue by
shooting so wildlv as not only to throw the
maioriry of the balls oft" the target, but to send
a lair proportion ot them quite away from the
buts on to the running detr mantelets, and. iu
hhoit, all over the country. Uvea when tired
slowly at the short range ot two nuuaied yards,
the weapon wa deficient in accuracy and torce.
and would need much Improvement before it
could be seriously thought ot as a soldier s arm,
We are not sure that Brown Bess would not be
more true, and it would be beyond aR comparison
a stronger snooting u un. ,1 1
"In rapidity, the Westley Rlcnards was gene
rally fired at the rate ol about twenty shots in
three minutes (lafter, no doubt, than the Pr.is
cian gun), and its accuracy at this rate was
vriy creditable, its best score in the records we
have yet seen belne sixty-two marks In three
minutes, which was more than the Remincton,
with alt its rapidity, could achieve. Hut the
prcatei-t triumphs in accuracy and rapidity com
bined were won with the Spencer rifle. Its shoot
ing seems at least as good at that ot the Westley
Richards, and its pace is better. On one occa
sion it scored pevcnty-nine in thirty shots, and
on another elgnty-two in thirty-three shots
within the allotted time, and Cher scores were
made little Inferior to this. Hut the Upcnrer
is at present (hut out of the Held by a defect
traceable to the same arrangement to which its
rapidity is due. Unltae any other weapons
acaiust which it competed, the 8pencer takes in
seven chames at once, which lie in a hollow In
the butt, and are deposited in turn in the cham
ber bv a very rapid action. Unfortunately,
however, the cartridges are apt to jam, arid
several competitors were stopped lu Ihi middle
ota good score by finding tnat the mechanism
refused to act. Whether this latal difficulty can
be cot over is one of the questions to be solved
beiore the tnone) breech loader t found; but it
Is diflicnlt to believe that the ult inate pattern
will not oe a gun loaded, like the Speuccr, with
several cartridges at once.
"Resides those we have mentioned, a great
variety ot rifles were tried, with different decrees
ol success. The new Henry breech-loader we
believe an American invention and the Berdan,
the converted Enfield, made eood work; and
there were Green's and Craig's, and many others,
both old and new, none of which, however,
came quite to the Iront. The shooting, too, was
principally at two hundred yards, a distance
which tests the steadiness of the shooter much
more than the accuracy of the rifle."
A prize of two hundred and titty dollars,
oflered by the proprietors of the Sa'urday
Ji'ou-w, was won with an Enfield ride "con
verted" on the plan of Colonel Berdan, the dis
tance being five hundred yards.
AMERICAN EXPERIMENTS.
The Board of Army Officers which recently
met in Washington to test sixty-hve different
guns, tiled its report in June, but the I document
is (not jet published. We are enabled, how
ever, to give the materiul results of the experi
ments. General Hancock presided over the Board.
The members wero General Buchanan, of the
infantry service; General Gnliin, ot the artil
lery; General Hacner aud Colonel Benton, of
tne ordnance: Colonel Owens, of the cavalry:
Colonel Coming", recorder. After repeated
trials of a!l the guns submitted lor inspection,
the lohm recommended tor adoption tne plan
ot converting muzzle-loaders into breech-loaders,
nventcd bv Colonel licrdau: and also recom
mended tlie same plan for all the new muskets
hereafter to be made.
The Bcrdau musket was tired from the
shoulder, before the numbers of the Board, one
hundred times in five and a halt minutes the
hrst twenty rounds in one minute. It had pre
viously been tired three hundred times for the
purpose of "fouling" it; had then been rusted
in salt and water, and afterwards rolled in fine
sand; and, dually, was subjected to proof
charees with the sediiiicnt ol lour hundred
charges in it but came out in perfect cocdi-
lon, and was again ured wvtn saiety. This ex
traordinary reault is probably without a parallel
in The history of small arms. A correspondent,
alluding to ihe Wimbledon trial, remarks that
'it must be very gratifying to the board to
know that an Kniield inusBet altered on the
same plan won the ciize in England."
The rapidity of tire of this arm is more than
double that of the famous "needle-gun" of the
Prussians. The cost of conversion does not
exceed two dollars lor each musket. Another
American invention, therefore, is to be placed
by the tide ol the monitors, now attracting the
notico of Europe, as the best of its kind in ute.
ihe magazine gun is not considered so eucctive
a weapon as the improved breech-loader, nor
has it been able to endure the repeated dis
charges to which the Army Board Bubjected the
arms submitted tor trial.
Married the Wrong Lad jr.
Love is a verv uucortain thina, and it is not
very safe to be too certain ot'tlie symptoms
until tney are unniisiaKiioie. Vienna uas oeen
stirred tip lately by the comical result ol a
stranee love story. It seems ihat in the house
ot one llerr Kuhne, a teacher ot languases,
Dr. Kant, a young physician, happened to mauo
the acquaintance ot a younu lauy, ourueneu
niih Rome urniii rtv. and thirtv vuars of ace.
The lady, beingUiiniarried, evinced some interest
in me voting out ramcr uuuoucu uuuui. duu
mode love to him, iu lact, very strongly, aud
Dcrsuaded him to visit her at her house. But,
alas I he loved another lady. One evening,
while conversing with 1dm, sne said:
"With jour favorable ideas ot matrimony,
may 1 ask it you ever thought of marrying,
yourself'"
Dr. Kant sighed; and his eyes resting on the
ground, hesitatingly muttered in reply :
"1 nave aneaay inougut ol marrying, uu
made my choice, but"
'But'" the lady hastily interposed.
'But." he continued, "the lady is rich, very
rich, and I am pocr. 1 am afraid I ould hardly
aspire to her hand; and rather thn allow my
selt to be taxed With sordid designs, I will bury
my passion in my breast, and leave U uuavowed
forever."
At hii enrl v hour the following :lav. however.
she betook herselt to a solicitor, aud iu legal
lorm declared her wish to present aud band
over as his property the sum of 150,000 guilders
(115,000) to Dr. Kant. When the document
hud been ni cued, countersiened. and dulv com
pleted, she tat down in the otlice, and enclo.iug
it in an elegant envelope, aausu me louowmg
note:
'Dear Sir: I have much nlesre in enclosing a
paptr which I hope will remove tne obstacle in tae

Dr. Kant tor he. and no other, was the indi
vidual addressed was the happiest man iu the
world on receiving this generous epistle. Re-
Dairinc at once to the parents of the Fraulci
Kischel. theladv ot his love, he proposed lor and
lweived the hand of a fjirl who had been
flattered by his delicate attentions. His reply
to Alice Ma"rtini, besides conveying to her his
sincerest thanks, contained two cartes le visits,
linked together with the significant rose-colored
ribbon. Miss Martini lorthwith sued the happy
bmleirroom lor restitution: but as no promise ot
ruarr:age had been inada, the case was, by two
kucctssive courts, decided agninst her.
Writing Newspaper Articles.
From thr. A'yr th British lttvitw.
It is not enoufih to think and to know. It
requires the faculty of ut.erance. Certain
things are to be said, and in a certain manner;
and jour amateur article writer is sure to
strengthen m tny manner but tho right. Per
haps of r.ll etvles of writing there is none in
which excellence is so rarely attained as that of
ntwBpiiuci' wrifimr. A readable leading article
may not lie the work of the loftiest order, or
demand for its execution the highest attributes
of genius; but whatever it may be, the power of
accomplishing it ith i success is not shared by
"thousanos of clever fellows. " Thousands of
clever follows, tortlHed by Mr. Thackeray's
opinion, may thtuk thev can write the articles
which they read iu the uiovniue journals; 4but
Id them take pen and paper and try.
Men are rot born article writers any more

has anthorled ns to sell their First Mortgage Heron Per
Cent Thirty year Bonds. The whole amount 1st SOOOftnO,
Coupons, payable on the first days of JANUARY aud
JULY of each year, In New York.
Before consenting to this Agency, we have made a
caretul examination ot the merits of these Bonds, by
sending WUlism Mllnor Roberta, and others, to report
upon the Condition and prospects ofthe Railroad. Their
report is on file at our omce, and Is high y satisfactory.
We do not hesitate to tecommend these Bonds as being
a first class security, and a most safe and Judicious in
vestment.
The proceeds of thece bonds will be used In extending
a Road (already complete 170 miles Into North Missouri)
to the Iowa State line, where It Is to connect wltb the
railroads ot Iowa) and to also extend It westward to the
Junction with the Paolflo Railroad fat Leavenwottb),
and other roads leading ar the Missouri River, so that
this mortgage of 6 OcO COOwill cover a completed and
well-stocked Road of 389 miles In length, coating at
least II6.OCO.1OO. with a net annual revenue, after the
first year, ot over 111,900 0' 0, or a sum nearly four times
beyond the amount needed to pay the Interest on those
Bonds. The Income of tho Road will, of course, lncroase
every year.
The Railroad connects the great city of St Loafs with
Its two hundred thousand Inhabitants, not only with
the richest portions of Mbsourl, but with the States of
Kansas and Iowa, aud the great Pacific Railroads,
To the first applicants we are prepared to sell FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, at the low rat
of EIGHTY CENIS, desiring to obtaina better price
for the rimalnucr. This will yield about 9 percent
income, and add 20 per cent, to principal at maturity.
