tho following concerning Lord do
Tabley's shooting:
s'lord de Tabley was the surcst

piece was rarely raised bnt to kill,
and twenty snipes in succession have
fallen in proof of his accuracy of aim.
And with the pistol he was Still more
wonderful. The head of a swallow
peeping over corning in the old
tower was sufficient object for Is
bullet about the size Of q pea. a
wagtail hopping and skipping apop
the lawn was gone bird if ] asked
for another specimen of skill, though
he was ont Of practice since the tiIne

gulneas, laid upon him by the prince
regent, the evidence of the Winning
of which bet was testified by a card
with wo holes in the centre, resem-
bling the ace of clubs, and which had
been perforated in that way at the
duelling distance of twelve PAGES. -
He would have stood poor chance
in duel who ventured to meet
Lord de Tabley. The loading Of the
pistol was bit of inmate SCIENCE
which amused me. The gunpoyder
was carefully measured in a ram rod
with q funnel end to receive it, and
smoothed by fine card; the pistol
was inverted over this, aud being
reversed every particle was deposited
in tho brcech. The rest of the load
ing was equally precise, and, as his
lordship never missed, | was brought
to the conclusion that three or fonr
of the finest grains of powder, more
or less, made all the difference in the
hitting and missing.
