RIGHTS OF MOTHERS as TO THEIR
Chill DREN.

We said, when commenting thu bill which has
recently passed Legislature for the protection Of
married women in their earnings and means of live
lihood, that it lacked but thing to make it per
feet, and that was provision securing Mothsn
in their right 10 their Children, 90 that they
could not be divested of them by q viii Of
deceased father. The following bill, submitted to
the Senate by Dir. Covin of Albany, seems to cover
this ground admirably and we trust it is destaed 10
become law at this Session:

was that of the Swedish Baron Wahrendorf Ills
gun was also breech.loadng, and his shot cylindso-
conodal. The difference, however, in the shot
was this: while Cavalli's shot was Of hard metal,
and had wings to fit in the grooves, Wahrendorifs
shot was covered with thin layer of lead, end
slightly larger in diameter than the bore Of the red
portion of the gun. After being introduced into the
chamber, which was large enough to receive it, the
shot was propelled by the explosion into the riaed
bore, and the lead being pressed into the grooves
effectually, did away with all windage, and pre-
vented the escape of any portion of the gases formed
by the explosion. The results obtained with these
guns in Sweden and elsewhere were quito satisfac-
tory, and if Cavals guns were introduced into the
armament of Genoa, those of Wahrendorf figure
in the classmates of Wegbolm in Sweden, Ports
mouth in England, and in some Prussian fortresses
Thus, the introduction of rihed ordnance into prac-
tcal use had begun, although only for fortresses.
There remained only the one step to introduce
them into field artillery and this has been done in
France and is now being done in all European ar
tlleries. The various systems on which the rifing
of field ordnance is now, or may be- prOftaby car
ried Cd, will form the subject Of q second paper.
