THE GREAT GUN-Secretary Floyd's
big gun was tried at Point Comfort,
Va, on Tuesday, the 28th The first
shell, weighing $50 pounds was thrown
fifteen hundred and forty yards, at an
angle of five degrees-and striking the
sand, bounded seven hundred and fifty
yards further The charge of powder
was twenty pounds. The second
shell weighing 1913 pounds vas thrown
something upwards of four miles on
the water, at an angle of forty degrees
and with a charge Of twenty FIVE
pounds of powder The powder with
which this gun is fred is in grains of
about one inch cube. The report is
not so loud as that made by the ten
inch guns on the ramparts, but the
whistling of the shell through the air
is terrific. The shell thrown on the
water was forty two seconds in the air
before striking. The +" Floyd" gun
is pronounced success, and there
seems to be no doubt that it will reach
range of six or eight miles. 1t
weighs 1909 pounds and cost in its
casting $4,000.

THE CHEMISTRY OF MEDICINE

that it was large, yet we were surpris-

magnitude, and still more by the ex-
tent and complication of its truly i'm
mense business The whole massive
structure is in fact one vast chemical
laboratory, in which the processes of
this wonderful art are constantly GO
ing on Medico-chemical science l.as
found that curative properties Of any
substance exist in some one or more
of its component parts. Thus the rem

the morphia it containes, although
this is but one eighteenth part of its
weight; the other seventeen parts are

out completely pnre at last These
concentrated, purified medical proper
ties, or virtues, are finally combined
together to produce the remedies
which have made themselves o reputa-

tho world. Not only does the Doctor
disclaim all secrecy in his art and ex-
plain every process and particular, but
he maintains that this is the only pro-
cess by which people can be supplied
with the best possible remedies for the
treatment of disease. The Formula
by which his remedies are made are

DISTRESS IN KANSAS. There is a
lamentable dearth in Kansas, owing
to the unexampled drought of the
past summer. In certain parts of the
territory, indeed, it is said there has
been no rain of more than two hours
duration for more than a year The
people of the Eastern States should
extend the hand of relief to the suf-
ferers of Kansas, many of whom may
perish of starvation during the coming
winter The Philadelphia Bulletin
says that if Philadelphia were to raise
some thousands of dollars to send for
distribution among the neediest of the
people it would be most gratefully re
membered, q vast amount of good
would be done, and the example would
probably be followed by other cities.
Kansas is deserving of all the assist
ance that can be given to her. There
are many Chester county people in
Kansas, and should they need relief,
they have only to make their wants
known, as handsome amount could
be raised at the numerous political
meetings which are being held through
out the country.

FATE OF ERRING BEAUTY. moi
long ago, even American readers may
remember, the most admired woman in
Paris was the Dame -de-compteir at
Frascati's, known AS La belle Limon-
diere, whose beauty set half the young
men of Paris crazy. Not only was
the cafe constantly full Of persons at
tracted to see her, but the Boulevard
near was often crowded. After a
while she disappeared, and it was
given out that she was living in grand
style under the protection Of some
wealthy person. But after an eclipse
of some fifteen years she emerged into
light again, at the Office of the correc-
tional police, on charge of raising
money under false pretences. Her
history was briefly this: Her maiden
name was Jenny Jackson she mar
ried very young, and her husband in
taking her had no other object than to
speculate on her beauty. He had
paraded her in the Cafe Frascati; but
she felt Inundated, and obtained a
separation, from him. Then unfortu-
nately, she went astray /; she fell in
with great English nobleman, and
he spent millions of francs on her,
But after a while she formed an attach
ment for a student, and abandoned
the nobleman to join him For him
she sold her dimonds and cachemeres,
and when she had nothing left he
abandoned her, giveng her the worth
less obligation of 5O,OOOf. Reduced
to the lowest poverty at last, she tried
to raise money by passing herself of
as Countess and the heir to large es-
tates.
