Perkins, steam Gun.

An exhibition is now open at the Assembly
Build nQs, cotner of 10th and Chesnu, streets, of
that wonderful instrumen, of warfare, the Steam
Guo," invented by Perkins. Having seen 1t in OPP
Grafton, we must say that the accounts Heretofore
given of lis destructive capsbihues. are not at all
exaggerated; showers Of bullets often spoken
of but it requires steam gun to realize the idea.
The model now shown. throws l5S balls minute,
aud with such tremendous force, that without re-
sorting to any yihng like its possible power, and at
d d stance Of over 100 feet, the iesden balls are
ha,tened 10 the thinness Of the wafer against the
iron target, some of them passing completely thro
the sheet non.--Ths barrel used in this model is
about the size of ordinary rife. but the prnci lie
i. applicable to pieces uf any dimensions. and the
one employed in experiment before The Duke
Of Wellington and other distinguished officers,
drove ounce bullets at a distance of 35 yards
through an iron plate one-fourth of an Inch In
thickness. and likewise through eleven hard deal
panks one inch thick and placed an inch apat.
Con inuous showers Of balls were also Proeced with
such rspiitv, that when the barrel of the gun wss

llank, twelve feet in length, was completely
perforated that the line Of shot holes nearly resem'
bled Gu, from one of lis ends to the other.
There is likewise newly Invented steam gene.
rator attached to this gun also invented by Perkins,
which Combines the qualities Of simplicity, safety
and economy, to degree never before attained,
aud which is we'll worthy the attention Of The sci
entific The exhibition is therefore very Interest
ing one in several respects and will doubtless al
tract crowds OF visitors.
| No one can witness the operation Of the steam
gun w,hou, being satisfied that il is destined in
tmportat respects to change the aspect of war; ans
that particularly a defensive weapon, il canno
eas, be oyerated, while terrific combination car

against it is, that i. IL too murderous, and that i

TURKISH WIvLs-T'here is a general idea pre-

ralily of wives, but such custom has existence
in reality. II is true that the Koran allows the Sui
tan seven wives, ard every other Musseman four :
but there sIe few instances in Turkey at the pre-
sent day, OF Turks having more than one wife, and
| was assured by hey, that with the exception OF
thres OF four Of the weallhiest pachas, there were
no, five Turks in Consantnople who had more
than one wiie On one occasion | asked an old
ellend how many wives he had. "One is sll can
Afford" sid it would lie almost as cheap to keep
four wives in a house al one, and his answer was,
"Probably four English wives might live peaceably
in one house, but Turkish wives mus, have sepa-
rate houses and a man must have as many estsb-
lishlnents he has wives, for if they TO live
in the same hoase, they would scratch one ano-
