BIC CANNoN.-The talk about the large
wrought iron cannon which Captain Stock
ton has caused TO be made for the Govern
ment, has led to an article in the Army and
Navy Chronicle from which we make this
extract:
In all this there is nothing new or mar
vellous power TO the purposes of war, it has
been an object of ambition with pctentates
and powers 10 possess The hugest possible
engines of destruction. The history of ar
hilary has preserved accounts of pieces con-
structed many centuries since, TO which this
gun would lie mere baubc. In IS47
twelve pieces, called bombards, were cast
in France, one ofwhich tire W stone globe.
II inches i'll diameter and waying upwards
of 500 lbs, TO distance DISCO PAGES, with a
change of 900 l5s. Mahemct II, at the
siege of Constantnople, had gun of 27 in
ches calbre, which threw stones weighing
from $50 to 1900 culverin, taken flom the
castle of Ehrcnbrcitstcm, called the Griffon,
which was cast in 1928; it is ) feet long,
nearly feet diameter at the breach, and
weighs upwards of g. 0O lbs Such mon
sters belong TO the infancy of the art. and
may be regarded as monuments of its pro-
gress. Like the mammoths in the animal
kingdom,the have disappeared TO make way
for smaller, it is true, but more servieable
and less unwiridlv creatures.
Neither is ii a new thing to make wrought
iron guns, for wrought iron was employed
in the manufacture Of cannon before cast
iron. 'Bombards,' says an eminent French
auihor,"wcre first constructed ofwood. bound
with n,then of longitudinal iron bars, hoop
ed together like the slaves ola cask ;but such
assemblages being deficient in soidity, they
were made of wrought iron, then of cast land
finally of bronze.

the duty of avenging the dead; may rest
heavy on your souls
And in the hour Of battle, when all around
is darkness lit by the urid cannon glare,
and the piercing musket flash, when the
wounded strew the grouno, and the dead
litter your path, then remember soldiers
that God is with you. The eternal God
fights for you; he rides on the batte-cloud,
he sweeps onward with the march of the
hurricane charge; God the awful and the
infinite, fights for you, and will triumph
"They that fake the sword shall perish
by the sword"
You have taken the sword, but not in the
spirit OF wrong and revenge. You have ia
ken tho sword for your homes, for your
wives, for your little ones. You have ia
ken the sword for truth, for Justice, and
right, and 10 you the promise is; be of good
cheer, for your foes have taken the swol d
in defance of all that man holds dear, in
blasphemy of God; they shall perish by the
sword.
And now, brethren and soldiers, | bid
you all farewell. Many of US may fall in
the battle tomorrow. God rest the soul
Of the fallen; many Of us may live to tell
the story oil the fight tomorrow, land in the
memory of all will ever rest and linger the
quiet S Gene OF this autumnal night.
Solemn twilight advances over the val.
ley; the woods on the opposite heights
fling their long shadows over the green of
the meadow; around us are the tents OF the
continental host, the suppressed hustle OF
the campfire hurried tramp of the soldiers
TO and fro among the tents, the Stiffness
and awe that marks the eve Of battle
When we meet agaiu may the shadows
of twilight be flung over peaceful land.
God in Heaven grant, it.

CAUSE OF THE ExPLosIoN.-The New
York True Sun is of opinion that the ex-
plosion of the "'Peacemaker" may have
been eau ed by the smallness Of the charge
of powder used on the occasion The full
charge of the piece is stated to have been
80 pounds, but only % pounds were used
for the fatal load, The chamber of the
gun was a .frustrum of a cone-that is, a
cone with the point cub o1. The narrow
end received the powder, and if the guam
tity were not sufficient to fill the cavity up
TO the place where the ball was stopped
by the conveying sides Of the chamber, q
vacant space would be left between the
powder and the shot. The consequence Of
such mistake would be, as every sports
man knows, an explosion. We know not
whether this is the true explanation of the
accident, but there is certainly some plau-
sbility about it.

oil Lewis Carr, and soon acquired a hand
some living; but his restless spirit and in
tigung disposition kept him constantly in-
vowed IN difficulties, and his treatment of
his wife was cruel in the extreme; vet by
taking SIDES with the government, he was
elected 10 the assembly OF the Bahamas,
ana was chosen its speaker about 1920.
L his was his last elevation to notice: bv
his treatment TO his wife and his continual
debaucheries and seditions-as no money
which he could command ever stopped his
ogress-durng the year 1881 and 2, he
became so embarrassed that he was obliged
to leave the island, and once more returned
20 Kingston in jamaica, from which place
IN 1888 he once more came TO the United
States, and landed at Philadelphia under
his true name, Lewis Carr; it is believed
that he for the last time visited Col. Burr,
and soon after was taken sick and died in
obscurity in the city OF Philadelphia At
least this is the belief of his wife and his
| friends at Nassau.
Thus ended the life OF this bold and rest
less spirit, which, from his entrance on
public life until his death, was one cont!n-
ual scene Of adventures. The wears he
lived at Nassau were filled up with in
trignes of personal character, but from
the time he left the United States in 1907
until 1888, he never resided in any other
place than the Island Of Providence
Our informant was The vice consul Of
the United States, who lives on one Of the
Saltkey, Bahama Islands, who read law
with Blame rhassett, and was afterwards
his partner for near twenty years. where
he passed under his true name o. Lewis
Carr, and often told him this history OF his
lie and connection with Col. Burr,-so
that the writer Of this article, who was in
Kingston (Jamaca) and at Saltkey Island
last summer nearly a week, has no doubt
of the truth Of the foregoing narrative
The facts and circumstances of his con-
nection with Coz. Burr were fully detailed
so that there was no room to doubt, that
