One effect of long-range Weaving.

--Cham, the clever Parisian caricaturist, is making himself very merry with the long- range weapons now so generally in vogue.--According to him, the word of command on drill will be "Attention! Spy glasses! Fire!"The new weapons enabling the hostile armies to fight at great distances, the vanquished army will be summoned by telegraph to surrender; and a victorious hero returned from the battle field, and recounting the events of the campaign, when interrogated respecting the personal appearance of the people against whom he has been fighting, will be obliged to confess his inability to satisfy the curiosity of his hearers upon this point, as, though he saw the fire, he was quite out of sight of the enemy.
