/ The Louisville Courier says, captain Sum-
mons, who has been a close observer of the
| Ohio river, its tides and charges, these forty
| years, says that the river this season reminds
him most foEcibly Of the fall and autumn of
1881 Then, as now, the river continued at a
most excellent navigaale stage from its source
to the mouth, the entire summer In October
it went down to low water stage, with much dry
weather, and continued down till cold weather
set IN; and the river was closed by ice for some
time. Then followed the ever memorable flood
i of 1882, when the Ohio overlowed it's banks
everywhere, and immense damage was done
all along its course. The present summer has
been precisely like that of 1881, and we await
the issue Of the fall and winter, and shall look
for food to follow the breaking up Of the ice,
and all who; live along the river bank can pre-
pare to move. Red River has been nearly dry
for the past fourteen months. What are we

THE MIME BALL.-The Cleveland Herald
is informed that the manufacture of muskets in
our armores is abandoned, and our men will
be armed with improved Mimic rifles with bay
oneis. The MIME Ball is to be manufactured
upon an improved plan. As now used in the
Crimea, the powder drives the sheet iron cup
into the cavity Of the ball, and this spreads the
balls 50 as to perfectly slug or gil the rihed
bore of the gun. The improvement is 10 dis
peose with this sheet iron cup and make the
powder do all the work Of spreading the ball.
Our army will use the MIME Ball without the
cup. A portion Of the whole Of the charge Of
the powder is inserted into the cavity of the
ball, and powder and ball made into cartridge.
The explosion of the powder in this cavity
does the whole work of spreading the ball and
driving it on its mission of death. Another
improvement in the manufacture of balls in our
service, is that of cutting them out of sheet
lead instead of running them. These are
termed pressed balls, and possess much
more Uniform densiiy-hence more true in their
fight towards the object aimed at.
