worth while to say that Gen. Wool, the

1t. Col. MERRlrT's REPoRT.--It appears
that Col. Merritt has not published an official
report. What is published as such, were the
rough notes from which he intended to make
out report, and which he unfortunately en-
trusted to the reporter of the St. Louis Re.
publican on the express understanding that
the names and facts alone were to be picked
out by the reporter. Instead ofwhich he sent
the whole undigestcd mass to the Republican
without explanation. The Republican put
the papers into an official shape on its own re-
sponsibility. Of course the Colonel was
somewhat mortified.

MARRIAGE OF DR.. SpRrNG.-Rcv. Matthew
Hale Smith writes to the Boston Journal
under date of August 18th, as follows:
The marriage of Rev. DR.. Spring came of
in the chapel of the Brick Church on Thurs.
day last, in the presence of small company
of visitors. The affair has created much
talk. The doctor is well on to eighty. lie
is quite infirm and his sight is poor. Tho
lady bride is sixty-five and is maiden.-
Mrs. Spring has not been dead quite year
and in New York it is regarded as quite an
impropriety for widowcr not to wait al
least one year. In this marriage quite lit
tie romance is blended. The lady has for
tune of 100000 in her own right. She has
long resided with her uncle, very bcnevo
lent man in the city, and the lady is reported
to say that it has been her great desire to be-
come Mrs. Gardner Spring. The bride and
bridegroom left the chapel and at once pro
ceeded to the cars for bridal trip to Niagara
Falls, both seeming in need of assistance and
help, although the bride was sprightly fol
one Of her years.

What It Cost.

/" 1t cost just twenty. thousand dollars to
discover America, and for this small sum the
Queen of Spain had to pledge her jewels
This was about three hundred and sixty mine
years ago. Then the English language had
not been spoken century. Printing had
been but twenty-one years in use. Manu-
factures were also unknown; but four mer.
chant ships belonged to London, and the peo-
pie were opposed to trade. Columbus never
saw the United States in their present limits,
but he was at Cuba, five degrees from Florida
But eighty-fivc years ago on the 7th of June
the American Colonies with about the same
number Of inhabitants that England had
when America was discovercd) declared
themselves independent. Within that eighty
five years we have founded federative
nationality recognized as the United States of
America, and respected as one of the fore
most nations of the earth. Under the Con-
stitution we have not only prospered beyond
precedent in the history Of the world, but
our influence has excrted a mighty power
over all the civilized states of the earth.--
There is not nation with which we have not
a commercial and political relation. There is
not country in which our enterprise has
not entered, nor an ocean on which our ships
do not float. American genius is more or
less impressed upon every people and cline,
and mutual interest and sympathy bind us
to mankind. Our example, our ideas, our
discoveries, our inventions, our habits of life,
our social, political and religious institutions,
have ali been impressed upon the old world,
and no higher title than a citizen of this
Federal Union is essential to command respect
and consideration over the globe. Now, in
the midst Of this unexampled prosperity, the
Union suddenly collapscs! Her life, her
truth, her hopes, and her humanity, are
about to be sacrificed! For what and for
whom? Why, for an Utopian abstraction
and by brcthern of the same nation and blood
1t cannot be denied that there is thirst for
blood among the politicians, that all the
water Of the Mississippi cannot slakc!

How Bomb shells are Made.

In q late number Of the Scientific timer
acan, we find the following account Of the
manufacture Of that destructive engine Of
war, the bomb shell, with al modern i'm
proyemeet, including the recently invented
(Belgian) fuse:
"The manufacture Of bonn shells Is very
interesting. The shell is first filed with
old-fashioned, round leaden bullets; melt
ed sulpur is then poured in to fiji up the
intersticies and bind the bullets in one sol
id mass; The shell is then put into kind
Of lathe, and cylindrical hole, Of the exact
act size Of the oriice Of the shell, is bored
through the bullets and sulphur. This
cavity IS filed with powder even with the
interior edge Of the orifce, six-inch shell
of the kind here described holding about
half pound. The fuse fitted into the OH
fee is a recent Belgian invention, made of
pewter, and resembles the screw cap used
for the patent fruit cars. An examination
Of this pewter cap shows, however, that it
is made of two hollow discs Of metal screw
ed together and filed with meal powder
A number of fine holes are drilled in the
lower disc, while the outer disc is entire,
and marked with figures in a circle, /, 2,
B, 4. In this state the shell is water proof.
When taken for use, the gunner, by means
of small steel instrument, scoops out a
portion of the outer soft metal surface and
lays bare the charge Of composition powder
below it, If the shell is desired to explode
in one second after leaving the scooping is
made on figure l if in two seconds, on fig
IRE 2, and 50 on--the idea being that TIE
shells of this description shall first strike
the object aimed at, and do execution as a
ball and then explode, sending the bullets
forward as If from another cannon, located
at the point where the fight Of the shell is
ARRESTED. Large shells Of eight or ten inch
es are filed with powder only, and burst
ing. do execution by means Of the frag-
ments. These large shells are generally fir
ed by means Of fuse Of meal powder. ex-
tending through brass plug screwed into
the mouth Of the she'll In both cases the
fuse is fired BY the ignition * the charge

Cheap way to File Papers.

EDrroRs PRAIRIE FARMER - Having
often experienced the benefit ana pleasure
of having the PRAIRIE FARMER and other
periodicals filed for future reference, / send
YOU a plan for filing them that is so simple
and easy that anybody, even little boy or
girl can accomplish it.
Take strip ol hath two inches longer
than the paper to be filed, split it length
wise and nail the two halves together with
two pointed single nails, then separate
them, leaving he nails set in one Of the
pieces. Then place the papers one at a
time on the nails, pressing the nails through
the back Of the paper, about half an inch
from the folded edge, and replace the strip
on the nails as it was. Fasten the ends Of
the strips together with loops Of elastic
cord or Of leather, and it is done.
Then each week, as the paper is read
and ready for fling, all you have to do IS,
to remove one Of the loops, raise up the
strip, put in the paper and replace the
strip again. This makes very convenient
book for reference. The convenience Of
having a volume Of the PRAIRIE FARMER
or any valuable periodical bound in this
way, to refer to at any time, will pay a
thousand times for the trouble Of fling
them. j. Ill.

Col. Fosney writes from Washington to

Miss Pamela Cunningham was one of

property Of lis alleged ancestor. Where

or was few days ago, at Mt Vernon, in

the secession leaders, and has been paying
many recent visit to Washington, for the
purpose Of ascertaining low far she could
damage the Free States, nd assist the arnl-
ed traitors in the South But you must
not conceive these world in reference to
Miss Cunningham to be undeseryed, for,
with all her gentle nature, she carries a
warriors heart in her bosom, and is doubt
less as ready to see this conflict 90 on as
Beauregard and Davis. When it is recol-
lected that the entire fund for the purchase
Of the home and grave of Washington,
with inconsiderable exceptions, was raised
in the Free States, and paid by the people
of the FREQ States, the graceful attitude of
Miss Cunningham will be understood
She has a delightful summer retreat where
she can look upon broad and fertile acres,
can receive her friends like a very princess,
and by means Of the easy and forgiYing
temper Of our Washington rulers, can for
ward to Davis Il CO., the latest intelligence
from the Federal metropolis. AS to those
who paid their money for the purchase Of
the home and the grave, are they not
Northern bafbarans. interiors, mudsills!
and ifJohn a. Washington, who sold the
place and took the money, could subse-
quentIy join the enemies of the Union, why
should not Miss Cunningham cf South
Carolina, follow this illustrous lead, take
the place unto herself and her section, and
with a pleasant smile, bid her recent loyal
lady associates polite farewell? 1t is a
good bargain all around. Although Wash

Umon, and fought for it and stood by the
Constitution, yet bis homestead was in

Northern dupes can be lead to believe that
in paying their money they were really Sc

the better; for as recent events have shown
the South has not only kept Mt. Vernon to
themselves, but the money paid to dedi-
cate it to the country; thus cnrich'ng
themselves without any loss, and securing
a handsome residence for life, to Miss Pa

them; said that they had done well in the

could wish, he hoped for better luck next
time. "Abraham, we will give you the
men, do give US better officers" said Lieut..
