'Iii0 PRUSSIAN Til [L1TARY SYSTEM. ti
A writer in tho Baltimore Sun explains,
clearly and concisely, thai
L'ntwan tniliutry system, wIiom) won- fj
deriiil power an?l periection have been
developed in I he short live weeks
which have elapsed since France declared
war ngainH ilie house of llohenzellcrn.
its fundamental princi- p
pie is, thai every citizen owes his ser- J
vices to tlie country. At :i t:m oi'ii.f I '
# w - - 1' v"^ "1
drum everybody is in arms ; nothing v?
can keep them hack?ne!th r lupines-, a
afreet io is, workshops nor families. i<
Prussia has proved herself'to ho the
on)v co'inlvy which, in time ol'pcaco, n
is prepared l'or war. ]>y law, every' l!
Prussian is a ?oldicr. and the Prussian a
armies arc in very truth tlio bc.sl w
blood and bone and sinew of the peo h
pie. tc
Prussia has been spoken of as an aiv -M
my holding a country rather than a
country having army. The regular jn
firmy consists of men from twenty to /
twenty-live years of age, in which all ^
must serve thrco years, except professional
men, students, &e., whose
term of active service is one year. s;
This term being r-orved, the Prussian
enters (he Ijt'i.i-'iiJicr. or militia, which -(i
is divi'led into two levies, The first (j'
comprises all men from twenly-six to ^
thifiy-Lwo years oi" age, and in war i ji
is employes., the same as the regular ^
urmy. 'J'iie second levy consists oi' (
men from thiriy-three to thirty-nine
v?ar.- of ago, and :: liable to be called
out in lime of war l'or iho purpose of j.,
irarri-oning ihe fc; Iresses There is 'j
til so an i.t gular force (Lumhlnr.n) ^
composed (.fniiiii over thirty siine and
under sixty years of age, whivh is,
however, only a local fureo for del'en- ui
bivo purposes, and is never ca'led out dl
except in extreme cases. When war hi
is declared thcro is no delay. The m
militia, so-called, but who are in reali- es
Ly graduates o'' the army, are, besides, lii
regularly drilled every year, so that | so
wnen Uiey arc summoned lo arms in ai
any village or town only n few hours ol
idapsc belore I hey arc efficiently in the hi
i\uil:<. on the way Lo t lie point where O
Lheir services arc required. d<
Another important fact, which gives si
mi unparalleled facility ol"movement to gi
IVus-ia's military operations, is that ni
Lhey arc not cneumljcred with an un- a^
wiold'y commissariat, bnt in tgwns fo
where Ihero arc 110 barratlcs the hi
troops are quartered upon the citizens,
A. European correspondent slates that a<
Lho city sceeivcs them from llio gov- di
eminent and lho individual families hi
IVom the cily authorities, with no w
privilege ol' appeal. For their keep- it
ing an established allowaneo is afler- hi
wards paid by the government. For H
example, when Heidelberg lately re- cj
ceived licr quota, this instruction concerning
them appeared: ThcEinquar- tl
licrtcn (the quartered soldiers) shall
be contented wirh tho board enjoyed w

demned tlio poleax, were purchased at
the rate of four fivo francs each, and 11
ranged at considerable distance. Two
mitrailleurs wcro brought to play on V

500 horses were brought down at
a single trial. This formidable weap- 11
on is constructed as follows: 8
It is a light 37-barrclcd gun, arran- ?
gcd that its barrels may be discharged ^
simultaneously, or consecutively. The
37 cartridges, intended for ono charge, Jr
arc contained in a small box. A steel !r
plate, with corresponding holes, is ?i
placed on tho open box, which is then b

They are prevented from falling
through by the rims at their bases. '
The loaded plate is then introduced ^
into tho breech-slot, and when tho Cj
breech is closed by a lever a number
of steel pins, pressed by spiral springs, n
aro only prevented from striking tho b
percussion arrangement in tho cart- o;
ridges by a plate in front of them. ^
When this case is moved slowly by a ft
handle, tho cartridges are fired one by
one. If tho plato bo withdrawn rapidly
they follow each other so quickly u
that their discharge is all but simulta

well adapted for uso in forts or other
