It is anticipated that the cost of the pro- posed change in rifles used by the Csnndian militia which has been urged on the Minisâ€" ter of Militia by a. delegmtlon of rifle- men, will be an insupembla obstacle to the desired reform.

The other day when one of the nervy birds break- fasted on one of her spring chickens and then calmly took his station on a. stake fence to wait {or an appetite for dinner, Mrs. Spence was very much stirred in her feel- ings, and as there was no man about the place she took down the shot gun and sal- lied forth. Placing the bust against her left shoulder, she took good aim at the hawk, shut both eyes and fired. The gun was heavily charged and its recoil knocked her over and lamed her shoulder. but the hawk was killed, and Mrs. Spence is happy. AMERICAN.

Mr. Stanley‘s last letters are of later (late 3 than the rumors concerning his death, and they effectually dispel all fear that mis- fortune has overtaken his laudable mission. His statement that the people ahead of him appear to be the broken fragments of many tribes confirms the testimony of Dr. Junker, who has traversed a. part of the country in which Mr. Stanley's route lay. Dr. Junker says the tribes of that region have been so broken up by war that they are now not at all formidable. There is, therefore, every reason to hope that Stanley met no serious opposition from the natives in the last part of his journey. The candleextingnisher style of native hut in which Stanley quor- tered his party at Ynmbngs Rapids shows that he was getting within the sphere of in- fluence of the Nale tribes, that form of hut being oommon in the Nile basin. but seldom seenvnlong the Congo A BIT OF PBUSSHAN HISTORY. General Voael Von Falckensleln. In a. recent number of the I’rcussische Jahrburher, the historian, Prof. Delbruck, of Berlin, corroborates the stMements previous- ly made by the Austrian ex-officer Herr von der \Vengen, in his exhaustive work on the Prusao'Hanoverian war of 1866, concerning Gen. Vogel von Falckenstein. The career of that Prussian General has long been a puzzle to the German people. In 1866, as the head of the Prussian Army of the Main, he forced the Hanoverians to surrender at Langonsalza, beat with his 40,000 men 100,000 south Germans in repeated encount- ers, and was on the point of dictating terms to the conquered city of Frankfort when, on 1 on the chh ol June he was suddenly recalled and supplanted by Gen. Manteufiel. Again, in 1870, when the talent and experience of every general were called into requisition. Falckenstein took no part in the aver itself, having been assigned THE TASK 0K PROTECTING THE GERMAN COAST. against French invasion. The authoritative explanation now given by Herr von der VVengen and Prof. Delbruck is that Gen. Falckenstein in 1866 was guilty of double dizohedience towards the supreme command. He in the first place, disregarded Moltke’s order to send a. part of his army to Madge- .burg and Eisenach, in order to cut 011' the retreat of the Hanoverians towards the south, preferring instead to keep his troops to eth- er; and, secondly, after Gen. von Alvens eben had agreed upon a truce with the enemy, he deliberately attacked, and. it is true, van» quished him. His recall had been decided on already on the 11th of June, but the or- der did not reach him until the 19th, and in the meanwhile he had had time to win the battles which have made him one of the most successful of German generals. The reason why he was not assigned a. command in 1879 is, according to Prof. Delbruck, the same that held good in the similar case of Gen. von Steinmetz. He had become too important a general for the command of a cn‘pa him a The British sailor has long since ceased to feel, if he ever felt, any great awe of torpedo boats. \Vithout the enterprise and pluck that will take them into action, run- ning the risk of being blown out of the water, these torpedo boats are as harmless as com- mon flies. English officers know how to handle them for ofience. and how to meet their attacks under all conditions; and familiarity never bred more contempt than it has in the case of these overrated craft. Torpedo men believe in them, and think that they could make splinters of a. fleetif they ever hid the opportunity for attack, but they forget that boldness and not fool- hsrdiness is requisite to ensure success. Gunnery men, on the other hand, deride this View, and are quite prepared to‘tnke their chance on board an iron-clad when atteckedhy a. swarm of torpedo mosquitoes, provided only that the ship has her nettings down, her electric light at Work and is prope'rly arm mitr uilleuses.
