and we learn by late Easterm papers
that it isa. formidable weapon.of war
with which the; French Army is liberally supplied. It has thirty-seven. baryels, which are worked bya crank, and
throw off bullets at a rate heretofore
anknows in warfare. When placed in
range, the soldier, or operator, has
nothing to do but to take sight and
turn the crank, and everything in front
in the shape of bone and muscle must
come down. ‘These weapons are now
to be used for the first time in -actual
warfare,and we are prepared to believe that they.are the .most destructive that the inhumanity of man lias
ever devised. It is related that, for the
purpose of trial, three hundred ‘condemned horses were purchased and
ranged at a considerable distance. Two
“mitrailleuse’ were brought to play on
them, the men at the cranks commeneed their work, atid ia three minrites by two discharges nt one of the
animals retiained standing. On another occasion five hundred horses were
