THE UMBRELLoNE ER.-We think the umbrella can
be taken avery good test of persons character
The man who always takes an umbrella out with
him is cautious fellow who abstains from all spec
ul Ition and is pretty to die rich The man who
is always leaving his umbrella behind him. is one
generally, who makes no provision for the morrow
He is reckless thOughtless away late for the train
leaves the street door open when he goes home late
at night and absent to such degree az to speak i'll
of baby in the presence Of its mamma The man
who is always losing his umbrella is an unucky dog
whose bills are always protested whose boots split,
whose gloves crack, whose buttons are always com
ing off, whose "change" is sure to have some bad
money it. Be cautious how you lend thousand
pounds to such man The man who is perpetual
ly expressing nervous anxiety about his umbrella
and wondering if it is safe is full of meanness and
low suspicious with whom it is best not to play at
cards, nor drink bottle of wine. He is sure to
suspect you are drinking more than your share
Let him be ever so rich give not your daughter to
him, he will undoubtedly take more care of his
umbrella than his wife. The man with cotton UNI
brela is either philosopher or economist; he de-
fees the world and all its fashionable preudices or
else he does it because it is cheaper to lose than
silk one. The man who goes to the horticultural
fete without umbrella is simply fool, who richly
deserves the ducktng he gets.-Pu1eh.

DISCOVERY OF New PRINCIPLE IN GUYNERY AND
PROJECTILEs.-We learn that patent has just been
issued to Capt. j. L. Mcdonnell, of Illinois, for an
improved new shaped ball. suited every species of
firearms, from pistol to a cannon of the largest
size.
The discovery consists in the peculiar formation of
the ball, being made to give it spiral molten
when fred from a smooth-bored gun, the same as it
would take if fired from a spiral grooved or rifed
barrel.
The inventor discovered that ball of the exact
shape of an egg, thrown with thelarge end foremost
would keep that position, and wobld not revolve or
turn in its fight the MIME ball, thrown with
the small lightest end forward is liable to do So
He also discovered that, by putting upon ball of
thpt shape spiral grooves Of peculiar shape aud
angle the force of the atmosphere, acting through
those spiral grooves when the proectile is put in
motion, gives the same a spiral or twisting notion
like rife ball thrown from twisting groOved bar
rel The result is that the ball flies upon straight
line and does not cscllae from side to SIDE as an
ordinary round bali is known to do when thrown
from a smooth bored gun. Thus the certainty of
the rifle is attained, at far greater distance, and
with less force applied, that be attained with
round ball when thrown either from a rifed or
smooth-bored gun, of either small arms or cannon
In this invention the rife growing supoa the ball;
and not in the gun, and the spiral motion is commu-
neated to the ball by atmospheric pressure upon its
surface and not by the gun from which it is thrown
as in the ordinary rife-NationqI IHtelligeaeer.

FLOATING ON A ZEPHYR-A SUCCESSFUL
SWINDLE.

SWINDLE.
Some time ago a light-fngered parsonage of gen.
tee appearance arrived in Baltimore and being anx-
ious to make raise" visited one of the telegraph
Offices in the Sun Iron Building He took his posi-
ton, like other customers, at the window and de-
hberately wrote the following message:
Baltimore.
'Friend Jones, Richmond, Va,
81 am here floating on Zephyr, and as happy as
a clam at high tide. Yours respectfully,
flames Simpkins."
The unsuspecting operator took the message which
cost some forty cents for transmission. Mr.. Simp-
kins withdrew from his purse ten dollar note, re-
ceved nine dollars and sixty cents good money in
change, and was oph happier, doubtless, than the
clam at high tide and more ethereal possible than
the poetic Zephyr alluded to in his message. He
disappeared like the vision Of dream, leaving not
even a shadow of twilight in his wake. Some days
passed and no response came on hghtnings wing to
the zephyr missive. This, it seems, was the last
item Of patronage which Simpkins had to bestow
upon the telegraph He 1oated elsewhere, perhaps
in the may laby nths of unacceptable secluson,
happy in the consciousness of making fortunate
speculation. The out-witted operator, upon SUBJ
sequent scrutinizaton of the zephyr note discover
ed it to be counterfeit absolute and palpable. He
then, for the first time had his suspicion aroused,
and was pretty well able to account for the iberaty
Of one anxious to send message having so little
semblanee of business or commercial bearing Up
on the philosophical principle that there is no use
in regrettng spilled milk, the Eout generated cleo
tricGn pOcketed his loss and kept the note as fra
gle relic, born of ethereal substance to remind him
in the future that the reality of " floating on ze-
phyr," whilst it produced i'll gotten temporary re-
lief to one, was unsavOry to the other.
