"New York, June 21.--The Tribune's special correspondent in Paris, C. 1 barnard, eal that Uol.

The military authorities in France uttach supreme importance to this discovery, which they consider will bring about a complete revolution in the methods of warfare of the twen tieth century. JOHN BRIGHT AS A SPEAKER Manner Hé Prepared Himseli For Public Oratory. London Truth. - I have noticed a discussion in the papers as to whether Mr. Bright was in the habit of writing out his speech: es. 1 do not suppose that be ever did write such a thing. But, sithough | have often heard him speak well with: out a note, he gendrally had very eo pious notes in his hand when spoke. 1 remember once in 1866, sit- ting with him in the smoking room of the house of commons. He was go- ing to make during the evening a set speech, and he had before him a bun- dle of sheets of paper with which he had come provided. He happened to way that he wished his spoech was over, on which 1 asked him how far he had peepiared his speeches. On this he handed me the bundle and told me that I might read his notes if 1 pleased. They were very copious, and every now and then a lengthy phrase was inserted. This, he told me was his usual habit. When speaking he held the bundle before him in one hand and gs soon as one sheet was exhausted he threw it away. There was no sort of concealment in this, although he séem- #d to follow the notes closely with: put apparently reading them. He told me that in acquiring the art of public speaking his greatest difficulty was to avoid a rapid utter- ance. A speaker should not, he ex- plained, pauss between his words or his syllables, hut he should pronounce sach syllable of a word more distinet- ly than he would do in conversation, From Trooper John Cairns. This morning W. J. Paul, tobac sonist, received a short letter from trooper John Cairns, CMR. It was dated at Klerksdorp, May 20th. The writer stated that Bis troop was quar: tered at Klerksdorp awaiting supplies. Peace negotiations were in progress at the time of writing and the treopd were anxiously awaiting the outcome; bets were offered that the war would be continued.

The track-layer has a huge erane, sixty feet long, which projects forward over the Youu. and it hauls behind it a train of sixteen flat cars loaded with ties and rails. A continuous double line of the latter moves forward over rollers and carries the ties with it. Both rails and ties are seized at the proper point by the machinery and placed on the road in front of thé train, where they shortly form part of the track over which it passes, This device is the most rapid and the most sconomical mechanical track-layer in- vented, Ran Away This Afternoon.

What Truth Really Is--Tempta- tion to Sell it For Pleasure, Riches and Advantage is Ever Present. A large attendance at St. George's cathedral was noticeable on Sunday evening, when the bishop of Ustario was announced to preach. He founded * 5 forcible, truly eloquent sermon on the text, Proverbs xxiii, 25" Buy the trath and sell it not." The clothing of truth with the at tragtiveness of light and power was a beautiful piece of diction. Truth was not mere verseity. It was a true statement of conception of un- derstanding and knowledge of facts, which were often partial, er imperfect. The real truth, the abiding faith, was interchangeable, miaet incessant change, flowing on like a mighty riv er, yet firm as a rock, It was not an array of numberless facts, or countless verities, since of no truth are we cer tain but of God's word unfolding man's happiness and hope. The bible wns not so much an expression of God's thought as a revelation of Himself, = Jesas Christ, the light, the truth, came not so much as a revela tion or witness as a manifestation, because He was God. "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father" As the ocean mirrors every star, st our Saviour reflected the Eternal Head, Truth, the great heavenly light, teaches us how to live and how to die, operiing where no man shuts and shutting where no man opens. The text proclaimed that truth was a matter of purchase, could be parted with, and that the parting was wrong. The purchase was defined by our Lord's use of the termi in parables, on His part the inestimable pacrifice; the cost on ours, the ever- existent struggle within, the subordi- nation' of mind and will, the looking unto Jesus. [4 was not an easy pur- chase ana yet so simple that we can sing "Nothing in mv hand I bring. Simply 0 Thy eross I cling." But it involved the use of God's ap- pointed ordinances, His means of grace, and this involved an effort, self-denial, perseverance, consecration, but: blessed would he be who endured to the end. The temptation to sell the truth, the faith, the light, for pleasure, rich ef and advamtagé, was ever present. The arch-eneiny, too, came by stealth and sabtlety, perhaps through the friendship of a fellow man, and there were still Judases and YEsaus who walk well for a time, run well for a sesson, but vet sacrifice: a precious treasure, an heirship to a crown and a kingdom. Like Peter, they at first little think of consequences. That men cannot barter both with God and man i= decided by the wreckage of lives on the shores of %ime. None escape. temptation, for it comes even in our hours of solemn service, when we walk closest with God, in the lust of the flesh or the eve. But resist and the angel of evil designe will flee before the sword of the Spirit, wielded by the hana of faith, which will be as potent in our day as when the blessed = Saviour trivmphad in: the mount. Blessed, indecd, would be the 'reward, beside. which our purchase would be as nothing. THE ROYAL LADIES. A Few Facts" About thé Queen And the Princess. London Modern Society. The present princess of Wales will be treated to far more of the glories of her position than any of her predeces- sors in the title, for not only do af fectionate and intimate relations exist between the sovereign and the heir-ap- parent--Hanoverian family disagree ments having come to an end--but king Edward js decidedly partial to full state displays, and likes a good posse of his relatives to figure therein Victoria Mary can take a just pride in her robes and vorgnet as princess of Wales, and need never assume that ti- mid, anxious air sometimes worn by Alexandra when in the company of the mother-in-law who seemed 'to have al ways been a queen, and whose fiat among her kin was at that of the Me des and Persians. Her majesty is beginning to draw a sharp distinction between the state duties whith belong to the king as the sovereign and those which devolve up on hérself ak the virtual leader of the social world. There wag a tendency at first for the household to seek her direction on varios matters in the absence of hin 'majesty. But queen Alexandra quickly realized that con fusion would arite' if she were to inter vene in details of procsture which per tained strictly to the king. She has, therefore, referred these inquirers to dhe private secretary. The result is that the court is gradually coming to understand that they must not look dor the connivance of the queon in se curing his majesty's consent to = the Jropusals of various kinds which are is personal ative.

MARTINIQUE'S POMPEILL. * Tells of Visit to the Dead City of St. Pierre. Seribner's Magazine A There was over all the odor of the dead, the smell of the battle-field; and with it the scent of sulphur sech as one may notice on the fourth of July, when many firecrackers have been burned. In another house the family seemed to have gone to death, hand in hand. In a bath-tub lying on its ove was the body of a man, in a eradle the body of a child, and by its side a aoll. Poor child! how swiitly its death must have come. I pickea up the doll and it crambled in my hand, leaving nothing but the eyeless china bead. On the wall was a big. brass, French clock, surmounted by cupids; the bands had stopped at ten minutes to eight. It was the same in all houses; nothing but desolation and destruction and death and ruin, all covered with the gray, heavy, sticky volcanic dust, which lay every- where and covered the whole land scape like a lead-covered pall.' The northern end of the town lies in a valley which sweeps up north-east To the feet of Mount Pelee, and here the obliteration was more marked than in the lower part of the city. Down this city had flowed a great stream of mud, following the Riviere Blanche, and that with the fall of ash and sand had buried the houses so that in place of a eollection of dwellings there was 5 level flat of the prevailing insistent dead gray color. In places riding showed, ana on the shore seiie vou could distinguish buildings stick ing in this enveloping mass liks rais ins in some huge, uncanny cake. This was the better portion of the town, and the residence quarter, ana from its sitnation the first to feel the effect of the eruption. It was evident that the eruption must have been aecom panied by a fierce tornado, for all the trees weré blown from the mountain a% one sees those on a windswept coast, and in a number of places 1 found pieces of corrugated iron roof: ing caught around stumps and pil lars ab a rag might be blown and lodged hy a breeze Not a living thir Rave our own party was in wight; there were no birds, no bu rards, nothing, It seemed as though all life was shunning this dreary, gray abode of death.
