monstrous ordnance, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, has been projected by the Secretary OF
War, which will probably be cast at the Fort
Pitt Works, in this city. 1t combines some Of
the features of both the "Dahlgren" and "Co-
luDbiadp guns, and is calculated to do execu-
ton at four miles. 1t is to be of fifteen-inch
calibre, with diameter of twenty-eight and a
half inches at the muzzle, forty seven inches at
the breech, aud an extreme length of fifteen
feet. The ball will weigh between four hun
dred and four hundred and fifty pounds, requir-
ing an enormous charge of powder The esti-
mated weight of the gun is between twenty five
and thirty tons.

DETROIT CUsToN HoUsE-Mr. Jordan, the
Superintendent ofthelN ew Custom House build
ing in Detroit, has gone to Washington for the
purpose Of making arrangements, if possible, to
resume work upon the structure at once. He
is authorized by the workmen to propose that
they shall receive no pay till after the lst of
July for work done prior to that time. Such is
the bankrupt condition of the Administration
TIE Detroit Tribune remarks:
This new building is now most silent and
impressive testimony against the sins and follies
of that Democracy which has had full swing in
our National affairs for years past Extrava-
gance has at last received its certain and se-
we're check, and the sins long hidden are thereby
brought to light.

From the KnicksrbOcker
RICH---THOUGH POOR.
BY A. D. F. RANDOLPH.
No rood of land in all the earth,

No rood of land in all the earth,
No ships upon the sea,
Nor treasures rare, nor gems, nor gold
Do any keep for me:
i As yesterday l wrought for bread,
So much toll to-day;
Yet some are not so rich as I,
Nor SO poor as they.
On yonder tree the sunlight falls,
The robins on the bough,-
Still l can hear merrier note
Than he is warbiing now;
He's but an Arab of the sky,
And never fingers long
But thai o'erruns the lifelong year
With music and with song.
Come, gather round me, little ones,
And as sit me down,
With shouts of laughter on me place
A mimic regal crown;
Say, childless king, would accept
Your armies and domain,
Or cen your crown, and never feed
Those tiny hands again!
There's more of honor in their touch
And blessing unto me,
Then kingdom unto kingdom joined,
Or navies on the sea;
So greater gifts TO me are brought
Than Sheba's queen did bring
To him who at Jerusalem
Was born to be king.
Look at my crown and then at yours!
Look in my heart and thine;
How do our jewels now compare
The earthly and divine7
Hold up your diamonds to the light,
Emerald and amethyst,
They're nothing to those love-lit eyes,
Those bps SO often kissed
Oh noblest Roman of them all.
That mother good and wise,
Who pointed to her little ones,
The jewels Of her eyes.
Four sparkle in my own to-day,
Two deck sinless brow;
How grow my riches at the thought
0fthose in glory now!
And yet no rood of all the earth,
No ship upon the sea, ~
Nor treasures rare, nor gold, nor gems,
Are safely kept for me:
Yet ] am rich-myself king
And here is my domain,
Which only God shall take away
To give me back again
