ENLIsH BREECH LOADING CARBGNE.-The
English appear to be running race with
the Americans in inventions for the i'm
proyement of fire arms. A breach loading
rifle oarbine, detachable so as to form pistol
also, has Iesently been invented by Mr..
Terry Of Birmingham, which seems to have
proved very successful. AT recent trial
1900 rounds were fired from it with unprece-
dented accuracy, at various ranges, without
cleaning the weapon. The rife missed fire
but twice in 1900 rounds, and whether dis
charged by officer or man, eighty six per cent
were "hits." The practice, says the London
Times, at 700 or 500 yards, was marvellous,
Notwithstanding a very powerful wind. Its
advantages over the pieces in use are, three
pounds less in weight, and five shots to one
in time of firing, giving it the advantages of
revolver with a tremendous range. and no
necessity for cleaning out under about
couple Of thousand rounds.

AN IMPORTANT CRoP.-Somebody has figured
up eggs to be the great American staple, as fol-
lows There are 1903 900, 900 laying fowls in the
country. or about four to each inhabitant, the
erege of whose laying is equal to one egg day
throughout the year for 100000 of them. This
would give the annual crop of lS,25O,OOO eggs
and these, at eight cents dozen, would be worth
1921, 1866. 666 The cotton crop of the United
States, estimated at the seaboard, according to
the census of 1850. amounted to SIS 264,92S Es-
timated at the same point--that is, according to
New York prices today-the egg crop of the Uni
ted States would amount to 1888 oil 666, or twice
as much as the cotton, tobacco, rice, hay, hemp,
and sugar crops of the Stare States put together.

Mr.. Abel Matthews announces, in the Lon.
don papers, that he will recite throughout from
memory alone the twelve books of Millions Para
disc Lost, comprising 1866 lines.
A friend of ours has two or three volumes Of
accurately reported sermons, which he has writ
ten out entirely from memory, after his return
home on the several occasions when they were
delivered. He informs US that he never has any
difficulty in making correct report in that way.
The great development of the faculty of memory,
in some men. is surprising as the almost entire
want of it in Others.

and soon became deirious, and expired about
eleven o'clock Saturday morning. When he
grew worse, a son of Cosgrove gave Clancy infor-
