Tnr NEw U. S. ARMs--Thc War Department
At Washington, anxious to adopt the lars: n
provrments in all the munitions of war, have
been manufacturing nt the different armorlcs a
new rifle musket that is far superior to any Of
tho small srnis now in use. The barrel of this
new weapon * but 10 inches in length, with a
calibrc Of O5S of IN inch, and has three de-
crcasing grooves cut in it. with sights graduated
from one hundred to one thousand yards. The
locks are adapted to the use OF Maynard's patent
urirncrs, which arc regarded us greatly superior
TO the old percussion printing. The ball-on
the Mimic plan-weighs 4s7 grains-sixty
grains heavier than the round ball now in use.
Tho new piece is one quarter of pound lighter
than the old one. and requires but about one
half the charge Of powder to make 1t equally
effective 10 The service charge of the other
These new rifles will probably soon entirely
displacc the ones now in use, as they are more
reliable in service, and less expensive to manu-
facturc.

A ROMANCE OF REAL LlrE.-On the 5th Of
April, 1878, merccr's shop of a very modest
appearance was opened in the Rue St. Denis,
near the market Of the lnnocents. About
half an hour after young workwOman en-
tered the shop and brought skein Of black
thread for ten centimes. viii you have
the kindness to tell me your name - the
mercer asked in the most polite manner of the
young girl. as she handed him her two sous,
| should be glad to know the name at least
of my first customer
My name is Nictorine D. replied she,
smiling at his fancy. Blessed be the hand
which gives me my first sale, responded the
mercer, as he wrote her name upon his re-
Glster.
The workwoman, without, however, at
rachinG the least Importance to this benedic-
tion, which street beggars hestow on us at
every turn, and which the Disposor Of all
good grants 50 seldom, the workwoman las
we were saying, bowed to the shopkeeper and
took her leave.
Two years since a poor woman of sixty,
having on her shoulders a bundle of coarse
bags which she was carrying home to make
up, was walking along the street when an
old gentleman passing in cabrioet, after
having looked attentiyely, at her, stopped his
horse, descended from his carriage, and ap-
preached her Pardon me, madame said
he to the stranger, who looked at him with
, an air OF extreme astonishmcnt, have not,
! confess, the honor of being recognized by
you, but for my part remember YOU. Are
you not Madamoisclle Nictorine D. For
merly, SIR, that was my name. but it was
long time ago, now | am the widow &. 4
Will you be 50 kind as to tell me where
you live that | may make you a visit, and
that we may talk together, for | have much
to say to you
Very much mystiiiod by this singular rem
cOntre, the widow &. gave her address, and
the old man took his leave, promising to call
soon and sec her. Many cl angcs had taken
| place in the position Of the former Miss Vic
torinc d. since the year ISIS, for then she
was rich, in youth and illusions, at least,
and now years had come to destroy and dis
color ali this-aitcr an extremely laborious
life the poor woman, whose cycsight had be-
come weakened, had boen forced to quit the
| profession Of vest maker which she carried
on, and to employ herself in sewing up
coarse bags, a prccarous business which
barely served to maintain her in fact her
gains were 81 scanty that her landlord was

widow because she could not pay her rent.

The AUSTERLITz or THE ANTs.-OnC dav |
went out to my wood pile. or rather a pile of
stumps, and observed two large ants. the
one red, the other much larger. nearly half
an inch long, and black, icrccy contending
with each other Having once got hold. thcv
never let 90, but struggled and wrcsted and
rolled on the chips incessantly. Looking
farther, was surprised to find that the chips
were covered with such ants, that it was not
a duel. but a battle. a war between two races
Of ants, the red always ritted against
the black and frequently two red ones against
ono black. On every side they were engaged in
deadly combat, yet without any noise that
could hear, and human soldiers never
fought 50 resolutcly.
watched n couple that were fast locked
in each others embraces. The smaller red
champion had fastened himself like vice to
his adversary's front, and through all the
tumblings on that field, never for an instant
ceased to gnaw at one Of the feelcrs near the
root, while the stronger black one dashed him
from side to side, and as | saw, on looking
nearer, had already divcstcd him OF several of
his members. They fought with more per-
tlnaty than bulldogs. In the meanwhile
there came along n single red ant on the hill
side of the valley, evidently full of excite
ment who either had dispatched his foe or
had not taken part in the battle Probably
the latter, for he had lost none of his limbs
lie saw the unequal combat aiar, for the
blacks were nearly twice the size of the reds;
he drew near with rapid pace till he stood on
his guard within half an inch of the combat
ants, then scizing his opportunity, he sprung
npon the black warrior, and commenced his
operations near the foot of his right fore-leg
leaving the foe to select among his own
members. ] took the chip on which the
three were struggling, carried it into my
house and placed it under a tumbler on my
windOw-sill in order to await the issue. IlOl>
ding microscope to the first mentioned red
ant, ! saw that though he was assiduousy
gnawing at the near foro-lcg of his enemy,
having severed the remaining fcelcr, his own
breast was all torn away, exposing what
yitals he had there TO the Jaws of the black
wurricr, whose breastplatc was apparently
too thick for him to pierce and the dark
carbuncles Of the sufferers eyes shone with
forocity such as war only could excite They
struggled halfan-hour longer under the
tumbler, and when looked again the black
soldier had severed the heads of his foes from
their bodies, and the still living heads were
hanging on either side like ghastly trophies
at his stddle-bow, still apparently as firmly
fastened as ever and as he was cndeayorng
with fearful struggles, being without feclcrs
and with only the remnant of n leg, and |
know not how many wounds, to divest him
self Of them, which at length, after half an.
hour more, he accomplished, | raised the
glass, and he walked over the window-sill in
that crippled state, | never learned which
party was victorious, nor the cause Of the
war.

WHAT THE WIND SAYS. "Do you know
what the wind says, grandpa I" asked little
child at an old merchant knees ono, puss
what does it," he answered, stroking her fair
hair "Rcmtmb the poor ~ grandpa; when
it comes down tho chimney, it roars, Re
member the poor !; when il puts its great
mouth to the kcyholc, it whistles, Remember
the poor : when it strides through crack
in the door, it whispers it and, grandpa,
when it blows your beautiful silver hair in
the street, and you shivor and you button
up your coat. does it not get at your car and
say so too. in a still small voice. grandpa"
"Why, what does the child meant" cried
grandpa, who, am afraid, had been used to
shut his heart against such words. "You
want now mulT and tippet reckon a.prct
ty way to get them out Of your old grand
father" "No, grandpa said the child shak-
ing her head, "no its the no>mun-and tip
pet children I'm thinking of my mother
always remembers them, and so do | try"
After the next storm the old merchant sent
fifty dollars to the treasurer of the relief So
cicty, and said call for more when you want
it. The treasurer started with surprise, for
it was the first time he ever collected moro
than dollar from him, and that he thought,
came grudgingly. "Nhy said the rich old
merchant afterwards, 81 could never get rid
OF that child's words; they stuck to me like
glue" "And a little child shall lead them, y
say the Scripture. How many a cold heart
has melted, and a close heart opened, by the
simple carnestness, and suggestive words Of a
child.

CANADIAN FuGlTyE SLAVE LAw.--It is an
old saying, that, to hear tho news one has to
90 away from home. We find this exempli-
fed in the following paragraph. which we
notice has been going the rounds of the
American press -
We see it stated IN the Canada papers,
that a movement is on foot in Canada to Sc
cure the passage of an Act of Parliament, by
which iugitiycs may be sent back to the
United States"
How such a story could have got into cir
culatlon, we are at n loss to Imagine. Ger
tain, however, we are, that it was never
" stated in Canada papers" No doubt
there are many in the United States who
would dchght in the passage of such an
Act, but we can assure them that such
statute with never disgrace the pages of Gas
madam history. A fugitive slave, when he
has once reached the shore of Canada, is free
and will ever main so, though 1t does
CRATE hard on the feelings of some Of our
American ncigEbors

Election Frauds.

The Chicago Tribune says that fraud
was committed by the BorderRuhan can
yass,rs of the votes on the Presidential elec.
ton IN lllinois-that Buchanan's vote was
reported by them to be lO5,3i4, when it was
l0i270. Frcmont's vote they gave 90, lSO,
when it was 9G, $50. In this way Buchanan :
majority was cyphercd out to be 9,ld4,
whereas it was in reality 7,999 being less
than reported by l,lGj. 4 suspicion is
thrown out that the fraud was committed to
save certain bets that Buchanan's majority
would be 1000 or more. The fraud is now

How PAUL AND PETER IooKED.-It is allow
able to mention the general notion of the
forms and features of the two apostles which
has been handed down in tradition and as
represented by the early artists. Paul is set
before us as having the strongly-markod and
prominent features of jew, yet not without
some Of the finer lines indicative Of Greek
thought His stature was diminutivc, and
his body disfgured by some lameness or dis
tortion, which may have provoked the con
temptuous expression Of his encmios. lis
beard was long and thin. His head was bald.
The characteristics Of his face were trans
,--.--s -s--.ri~-'on- which ~isibly betrayed
the quick changes of his feelings bright
grey eye under thickly oyerhanging united
eyebrows n cheerful and winning express
sion Of countenancc, which invited the ap-
proach aud inspired the confidence of stran-
gers. 1t would be natural to infer, from his
continual journeys and manual labor. that
he vas possessed Of great strength Of con-
stitution. But men of delicate health have
often gone through the greatest cxcruons ::
and his own words, on more than one occa-
sion, show that he suffered much from lack
Of bodily health.
Peter is represented rs a man of larger
and stronger form, as his character was
harshcr and more abrupt. The quick i'm
pulses Of his soul revealed themselves in the
flashes of dark eye. The complexion of his
face was full and salow and the short hair
which is described az entirely grey at the
time of his death, curled black and thick
round his temples and his chin, when the
apostles stood together at Antioch. twenty
years before their martyrdom Believing, as
we do, that these trNdtionary pictures have
probably some foundation in truth, We take
them as helps to the imagination.
