A DECIsIOy.-The board of army officers
lately assembled at the West Point Military
Academy to test the qualities and adaptation
to the military service of the Government Of
the various breech-loading arms offered to that
end, have made an elaborate and able report to
the Secretary Of War. From what 90 can
gather on the subject, they unanimously agree
in declaring the Barnsidcs rife TO be the best
arm that was thus formally tested by them
They arc also said to have decided that they
have not yet seen any arm that can properly be
substituted for the muzzle-loading gun, for in
fantry use. They state, further, that having
tried Colts revolving pistol with shoulder piece

arms before them, at one and six hundred

@Po,sticaI Preaching"

The presses of the Administration have
rendered themselves hoarse with their cries
against political preaching" and none have
been more loud than the Union. That de-
lectabe print now INDUCES the following
paragraph with gusto rarely equalled.-
The performance throughout is worthy of
note:
"TIIE PRESIDENTS LAST SABBATH IN WASH
INGToN."
"President Pierce has, during the term
of office, been regular attendant at the
four-and-a-half street Presbyterian Church.
Last Sabbath was remarkably fine day.
The crowd in the city attended church with
our citizens. The Four-and-a-haf street
church was very much crowded all the pews
in the church were filled at an early hour,
except the one occupied by the President.
He came in as the service began. The Rev.
Mr.. Sunderland, the pastor, in the course Of
his sermon addressed the President. He
alluded to the great dignity to which he had
been called as President of this great ma
ton; of tie success Of his administration,
of the cessation Of popular clamor, and Of
the prosperity of the nation Of iOhich he
had been the head, and alludiug, feelingly,
with tears, to the sorrow of that church and
the people at large, at the departure of the
President from among us. A solemn still
ness and many tears bore witness to the
truthful statement"
The Tribune exclaims very pertinently:
"Was there ever anything under the rule
of the Cesars-or even in the lowest de.
basement of the Lower Empire-more ser
vile and out of place in a house of divine
worship than thisl Where sleep the thun-
ders of Indignant Democracy against 'po

THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN THE
UNITED STATES Captain John Smith
gives the following interesting sketch of
the infant Church in tho original settlement
of Virginia -
"Whcn first went TO Virginia, well re-
member wee did hang an awning (Which is
an old eaile) tothree or four trees to shad-
owe us from theSunne; our walls were rales
of wood, our seats unhewed trees, till we
cut plankes; our Pulpit n bar of woode nal
ed to two neighboring trees; in foule wealth
or we shifted into an old rotten tent, for We
had few better, and this came by way of
adventure for new This was our Church
till we built a homely thing like u barne,
set upon crotches, covered with RATS, sedge,
and earth; so was also the walls, that could
neither we'll defend winde nor raine. Yet
we had daily Common Prayer, morning and
evening every Sunday two sermons, and
every three months the Holy Communion,
till our minister died. Planters Adv., 1881.

The ocean Telegraph.

The last act of Secretary Dobbin, before
retiring from office, was to transmit orders
to the Navy at Brooklyn TO fit out at once
the United States steamers Niagara and
Mississippi to proceed to England to assist
in laying down the Submarine Telegraph
cable between Newfoundland and Ireland.
These arc the two finest ships in our Navy
for the purpose. The Niagara is the largest
steam vessel of war in the world. She is
screw propeller, while the Mississippi is
the most powerful paddle-whcel steamer in
our Navy. The English Government
will furnish also two ships of the same char
acter--the two propellc,s being designed
to receive the cable, and the paddle-shps to
attend them, and in case of accident 10
take them in tow and continue the voyage.
As soon rs the cable is received on board,
the four ships will proceed together to the
middle Of the Atlantic, when the two En-
glsh ships will start for Ireland, and the
American for Newfoundland. There will
doubtless be generous rivalry between the
officers Of the two navies to sec which
portion of the cable shall be laid in the most
perfect manner. 1t is very much to the
honor of the two Governments that they are
ready to join so cordially in the attempt to
connect the two hemispheres. 1t is a ma
tional courtesy worthy to follow tho return of
The ReSolutc. Secretary Dobbin has taken
the deepest interest in the success of this
great enterprise, as he has shown in ordering
these two magnificent ships for the purpose
The new Secretary will doubtless carry out
fully the intentions of his predecessor

Poisoned Liquors.

On tho 18th Mr. Cowan of Shelby coun-
ty, introduced bill in the House making
it penal offence to use strychnine in the
manufacture of intoxicating drinks. The
penalty for using strychnine or any other
active poison, in any quantity, in the manu-
facture, or rectifying any liquors to be drank
as beverage, is hard labor in the peniten-
tiary from one to five years. Manufacturers
of liquor to brand the casks, &C., with their
names, and the words containing no pois-
onous ingredients" and 10 give purchasers
a certificate of the facts. Persons found
with poisoned liquors in their possession
subject to fine of 500, and imprisonment
in Jail from one to six months. Suspected
liquors TO be analyizad under direction Of
court, aud poisoned liquors to be destroyed
by order Of prosecuting attorney.
Liquor guzzlers must feel very comforta-
bio about the stomach when intoxicating
drinks are so full of strychnine or Other
poisons as to require such an enactment a:

The Growing wheat in virginia.

The Staunton Spectator says We arc
informed by farmers that tho growing
wheat in this county looks badly. In some
parts of Eastern Virginia it wac greatly in
iured by the recent severe weather. A gen
tlemau informs us that friend in Missouri
writes to him that the wheat in that region
never before was so unpromising at this sea-
son.
The Winchester Virgihian says: Appre-
tensions of considerable injury to our staple
crop in this quarter do not seem to be sus-
tanned. On limestone lands the wheat
seldom looks better at this season. On
lighter soils the frost has done more mis-
chief. From many portions Of Eastern
Virginia the accounts arc very gloomy.
Welearn from the Danville, Va, Register
that the wheat in that section is looking
very promising. It is said to bo thick set
aud green, and the weather Is now very IA
vorable for il.

Now is the time to cut them. Let us
tell you what to cut aud how to set them.
If possible, cut chestnut or some other dur
able timber for your poles, which should
be five or six inches in diameter at the butt,
and eight feet long. Set these two feet in
the ground, twenty feet apart in the rows,
and the rows wide enough to plow beween,
stretch No 8 wire from post TO post, six
feet above the ground, and plant your beans
in drill under the wire A willow or apple
sprout, or some preserved broom-corn stalks,
stuck one end in the ground, and the other
tied to the wire, will serve you better than

Mutton VS.. Pork.

Physicians recommend mutton rs the
most wholesome mcat-the easiest digestcd
and best suited to invalids, while pork, as
everybody knows, is the most unwholesome
flesh eaten. In England mutton is favor
ite dish, and VIC apprehend it is in this,
rather than to roast beef, that the English
man owes his robust health and rosy com
plexion. Our people eat too much pork
and too little mutten. And yet, as cotem-
porary well remarks, "mutton can be pro
ducod pound for pound at less than half
the price of pork yields more nourishment
when eaten, and keeping sheep does not ex-
haust farm to the extent feeding hogs
docs. Sheep can be kept during the winter
on hay and turnips, or mangel wurtzel, or
sugar beet, while hogs will not do without
at least some corn" We would like to see
in the papers fewer accounts of big hog and
more fat Portland Transcript.
