TIE Rocky Mountains.-The old idea that
the whole region Of the Rocky Mountains
north of the fortieth parallel is sterile re-
gion, presenting an almost unbroken icefeld,
is completely refutsd by Gov. Stevens ex-
plorations. One of the officers of his party,
Lieut. Saxton, says in his report: ~ find that
my previous ideas of this Rocky Mountain
range are, 80 far rs this section is concsrned,
entirely erroneous. Instead of vast pile OF
rock and mountains almost impossible, I find
fine country, we'll watered altered by streams
OF clear cold water, and interspersed with
meadows covered with most luxuriant grass" !"

Carried The Fan too Far.-In Prirceton.
Ohio, Daniel Elliott, respectable butcher,
after dinner went to his daus hter's house to
clean it out. While there he wa, plapu;no
the children, and placing the rope With which
he hoisted besves around his neck, told a bow
to turn the windlass and hoist him up a short
distance, at the same time telling his dauph-
ter to go and tell her mother that he vas
going to hang himself When the child told
her mother what he had said, she paid no
attention to it, as he was in tho habit of pIa.
guing her and the children, being very i've
iy person, and fond of sport. But it appears
that the little boy turned the windlass too
tar, and the rope suddenly slipping, caused a
large iron hook which, was tasted 10 the rope to
sink into the back part of his neck, and he
was suddenly stranglsd. He carried his fun
too far, aud lost his life.

Carrying Deadly Weapons.-The Balti-
more American has some judicious remarks
on this subject, suggested by the recent oc-
currencs in Baltimore, in which young Far
low met his death. Here were two lads,
both provided with pistols, both reckless in
the use of them, dispute occurs. and with
the means of death at hand, in the heat of
passion one kills the other, destroying the
peace Of the family of the deceased, tortur-
Jag the hearts of bis own friends, and con-
signing himself to the horron of jail
How little" justly sxclaims the American,
''can the law do to remedy such a wrong
Admit that the perpetrator is punished by
imprisonment, or even death, where are the
feelings Of bis family, which are to suffer for
the hastinsss of a passionate boy, or what
proper solace will his fate bring to the friends
Of the deceased Is it too much to say that
the law which fails to forbid practice pro-
ductive Of so much mischief, and the state of
public opinion which tacitly sanctions the
thing, are morally, though indirectly, account
able Tor all the evil that may spring from it."

The North Pole-In discussing the prob
ability Of the existence Of an open Polar sea,
the New York Courier and Enquirer gives
the subjoinsd interesting paragraph:
If the possibility of reaching latitude 80
degrees north is granted, the next considers
ton is, the probability Of finding an open sea.
The facts upon which such a probability is
based are these: 1t is generally admitted that
the geographic pole and the thsrmometric
pole, or the point Of maximum cold, do not
coincide. The latest Investigations 90 to
prove that there are two northern poles of
maximum cold, both being near the 7s de-
gree north latitude, and this, together with
the direction Of the isothsrmal lines, proves
that the existence of higher temperature and
an open sea, near the north pole, is not only
probable, but almost without doubt. Again,
the periodic movements of birds and fish, in
Guiding whales, that can only live in an open
sea, and in higher temperature than is found
at the thermometric pole, towards the north
pole, prove the existence Of an open sea. We
have also the recorded statements of travel
ers. A party Of Russians, in 1910, claim to
have discovered an opsn sea. The Scorsbys,
father and SON, in 1905, saw an open sea,
commencing at 81 degrees 81 minutes. Two
Of Dr.. Kans's party fouad an open sea As low
a. 30 degrees 20 minutes. The indications
are, that this sea is opsn all the year, but
however that may b, We believe its sxistsncs
in summer is no longer questioned.

The Augusta, Ga, Constitutiona1ist of Sunday

THE FRUIT BUG.-The Danville VA sem-weekly

its appearance in this region of country, which is
said to be very destructive to the Young peaches

about orchards and prey upon the buds and bios

The late rains have greatly benefited the growing

A DESTRUCTIVE WAR ENGINE.

We mentioned some time since that two of our
ingenious citizens, Messrs. Wright and Gould had
completed the model of rotary cannon which could
be fired at the rate of sixty rounds per minute
Since that announcement the inventors have been
engaged in having constructed a working model of
thegu which is finished, and was tested yester-
day afternoon in a vacant building on Washington
street. The piece is a beautiful little brass gun
of the usual shape, mounted on wheels, and
so constructed that rotary cylinder constitutes
the breech, which contains four charges, re
penished by means of hopper, and fired as
rapidly work an ordinary lever
backward and forward The piece is discharged by
electricity, and from this results an important
and valuable discovery, which was developed
after the completion of the piece BY means of the
battery and wires connecting with the cylinder by
which ignition is caused, the cylinder becomes per.
fectly cectrsed, which keeps it as cool as if con
tinually bathcd with ice. Some two hundred rounds
were fired Yesterday in rapid succession at the rate
of about thirty rounds per minute, at the end of
which time, without using the swab once, the
brcech was much colder than when the firing com
mcnced. The rapidity Of the firing was much re
tardcd by the bad quality of the cartridge in use
but such as it was it sufficient to demonstrate
the complete success of the invention. We under
stand that as soon as all arrangements are completed
the inventors will proceed to Washington and lay
their plans before the Governmental Er-

FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

A letter to the New Orleans True Delta, dated
Brownsville, Texas April It'll, says:
From Monterey and General Vidaurri nothing
official has been received for near ten DAYS. which
is the best evidence that he too has met with some
disastrous defeat-for good news is generally her
Aided in advance of the mails, which are now over
due ior more than week. This is very unusual for
the mails between this and Monterey. When ad-
dressed you last | informed you that Col. - "a
distinguished Nltaraguan fghter) had arrived, and
was on his way to Monterey. This was slight
mlstake-but the Colonel dispatched a courier, who
returned and left again the same evening" to accent
suppose, the propositions he had received This |
infer from the fact that the Colonel leaves for Texas
to-day, and for New Orleans by land, via San An
tonic
Nothing would rejoice the good citizens of
brownsville and Matamoras more than to hear that
these facts were true, for every department of bust
ness has been paralyzed since the revolution; and
until American aid shall be called in, we have no
thing to hope for but continuation of the same
state of affairs. In reality, commerce is Gecayed,
agriculture abandoned for the want of laborers to
till the rich and fertile lands, and every element of
industry is completely destroyed.
Since writing the above, Col. - has called at
the office, and informs that he will assist vi
daurri, and will enter the country with the invita-
ton of the people of the Sierra Madre States This
is glorious news. The Colonel says he will do no
thing but what is legitimate and expects to be on
the Rio Grande in thirty days.
