TRIAL. or Arr LhgRY+--At the trial Of big guns,
at Fort Monroe, lnder the superintendent Of Col.
Hager, BY order pf the Secretary Of War, Sawyer's
gun proved most accurate; DR.. Reeds gun, . ten

half miles, with astonishing accuracy for that dis
lance General Wheat's gun, breech loader,
termed an accelerator,' was fire fourteen times
with effect. but exploded before experiments were
over. The PARROT gun. whose plan Of rifiing has
been recommended for use, was not experimental
with. There was sufficient evidence to prove the
superiority Of rifed ordnance over the old smooth,
bored gun, and were recommended to be used b.
the Government FOR future service.

A SERIOUS EYI4--People on every side Of us are
complaining of trouble in the feet. in The form Of
corns, aud huniols, and sWeled joints, while some
lay claim othe govt with good deal ofassuranee
to the fespectablity Of which aristperatie disease
they have not ts leastright Nine-tenths Of these
troubles flow from the unphiloaophieal and rdieu-
lousfashion of WEARING high heels to the boot. The
nearest we confirm TO nature In any and all re-
spects is the neaIest right and nature never gave
hint that she forgot to nut high heel on man
foot. The step il flat upon the ground naturally,
and when sandals became necessity, before the
invention of shoes, we venture to say there never
was q case Of corn or bnnion known The fact
il, the high heel throws the body off Its center, and
the weight tends towards the toes, croWdng the
foot down into he shoe or boot. This prevents
circulation, binds the joints III close and Irritating
prisons, and eNeites Inflammation, resulting III the
troubles described at the commencement. 1t may
well be asked, Why do people wear high ieeea
shoes, when no Compensation OF appearance can
atone for the woe that il sutiareds The ladies
have taken TO wearing then ilsanely high, aaaE-
gt5 all remonstrknee, and complaints are heard
about aching toes and aailhains, which ale but
the result of it. 1t Is pity that grown up people
will behave so 4mpridently and SO entirely for
their harm. We put high heels and dranl-drinking
side by side among bad habits.
How 10 SEhEGE FLoGH.--I. Look at color; if it
ls white, with slightly yeloWish on straw colored
tint, buy it. If Il il very white, with BLUSH east,
or with black spdeks in it, refuse it. 2. Examine
its adhesiyeneas wet and knead a little OF it be.

it is poor Flour from spring wheat is likely to be
sticky. 3. Throw a little lump of dry flour against

like powder, 1t is bad H. Squeeze some Of the
-four in yonr hand; if it retains the shape given
By the pressure. that too il . good sign. Flour
that will stand all these tests Ii safe to buy. These
modes are given ~ old -four dealers, and we make
no apology for Printing them. as they pertain to
matt that cbneerns everybody, namely, the
quality OF the STALL OF life.
