1t is said that Paixhan guns are not the
invention Of French general, as has been
supposed, but were invented by Col. Bonn
ford, Of the United States army, and used
in the war of 1912. The dimensions oil
these were first taken to Europe by a
young French officer, and thus fell into the
hands Of Gen. Paixhan. who Immediately
introduced them into The French SERVICE
They were by this means first made known
TO the rest OF Europe, and received the
name Of the person who introduced them
into the European service, rather than that
Of the original inventor.

A Coon ONE.-The Petersburg (Va.)
Intelligencer tells a good story to illustrate
the fact that whenever the Locofoco party
are in strait, and don't know how to get
out with whole bones, they raise the cry Of
"Federalists" against their opponents. The
story goes that man in 1910 who had Ia
ken drop too much at grog shop, stag
gercd to the vicinity of camp meeting,
where he laid himself down on the grass
and went to sleep. Having partially slept
off the fumes of the liquor, he was aroused
by the sound of loud speaking, and in going
in the direction of the noise, he found him.
selfin the presence of large audience,
who he thought were listening to a stump
speech. The preacher-for such he was
was in full swing, and in loud and fear
full tones, proclaimed the dreadful sentence
unless you repent you will be damned"
To which the drunken man replied "that's
a fetheral lie."

Interesting to Shippers of Corn.-It has
been ussertaned that the ''shrinkage" o.
corn shipped TO Europe is about equal to
six per cent. An account Of sale Of 5000
bushels sent from New Orleans to France,
gives loss OF 40 900 lbs. Those who ship
ought 10 take this item into their calcula,
ton, as it is an important one, and would
be equal in many cases to avarage profit
upon a cargo Washington Union.
