It Is usual to compare tlio battles of tho last century with tho battlus of to day, and to dilate upon tho greater deadlines* of tho modern weapons and the modern results. Hut tho facts are all tho other way. At Fontenoy, for Instance, ouo volley of iho Coldstreams struck down 4f>0 Frenchmen of tho Regiment du Hoi. Again, at the same battle, the Gardes du Corps had not much short of R00 saddles emptied by a fllnglo volley, while the French Guards were scattered by a point-blank volley from a British regiment at twen ty paces that brought down *1 .*>0 men. Here wo havo nt K rugersdorp thou sands of Boors In cover shooting for hours on two days at 000 Englishmen In tho open, and killing very few com pared to tho hundreds who dropped at ono volley from the Coldst reams at Fontenoy. Tho fact Is that modorn lighting tends moro and moro to become a game of long bowls. This was the cuttso of tho small execution done/at Krugera dorp. On tho other baud, our fore fathers at Fontenoy and elsewhere hold their flro till they wero within twenty or thirty paces, and the otllcers jmssod their canon along tho muskot barrels to mako suro they weru no: aimed too high bofore tho volley was delivered. Moreover, tho men wero formed In solid column or square, and every shot told. It looks as If the great er range of tho tillo would bo followed by less loss of men, and certainly tho rapidity of tho dlschargo of tho maga 6lno rlflo tends to encourage wild and curoloss shooting, and Is against cool and accurate workmanship.? .Saturday Review.
