How Bomb Shells are Made.

The manufacture of Bomb Shells is
very interesting. The shell is first
filed with old fashioned round leaden
bullets; melted sulphur is then poured
in to fill up the interstices and bind the
bullets together in one solid mass the
shell is then put into kind of lathe,
and cylindrical hole of the exact size
of the orifce of the shell, is bored
through the bullets and sulphur. This
cavity is filled with powder even with
the interior edge of the orifce, inch
shell of the kind here described holding
about half a pound. The fuse fitted
into the orifce is recent Belgian in
vention made of pewter, and resembles
the screw cap used for patent fruit cans.
An examination of this pewter cap
shows, however, that it is made of two
hollow discs of metal screwed together
and filed with meal powder. A mum
Der of fine holes are drilled in the lower
disc, while the outer disc is entire, and
marked with figures in circle, l, 2, 8
4. In this state the shell is water proof
When taken for use, the gunner, by
means of a small steel instrument
scoops out a portion of the outer sof
metal surface, and lays bare the chargt
of composition powder below it. L
the shell is desired to explode in one
second after leaving the gun, tht
scooping is made on the figure 2, ant
so on-the idea being that the shells o
this description shall first strike the oh
iect aimed at and do execution as bal
and then explode, sending the bullet
forward as if from another cannon, 10
Gated the point where the flight of th
shell is arrested. Large shells of eigh
or ten inches are filed with powder only
and bursting do execution by the mean
of their fragments. These large shell
are generally fired by means of fus
of meal powder, extending through
brass plug screwed into the mouth Q
the shells. In both cases the fuse
fired by the ignition of the charge il

We question whether new troops
should ever be led against batteries and
breastworks, until they have been pre-
viously preached by cannon balls. Z
Look at Bunker hill. A few hun
dred farmers threw up breastwork of
the most ordinary and unscientific des-
cription, in few hours of a short sum-
mer night. A British force of three
thousand veteran troops were twice re-
pulsed, and carried the work at last,
when the ammunition of the defenders
gave out, by loss in killed and wound
ed of more than thousand men. Such
an immense advantage does breast
work give. .sisza odt l1 smu 9ai
Consider the battle of New Orleans.
A bank of black mud, defended by
three or four thousand militia, kept at
bay for month, great British army
led by generals of the first distinction,
heroes of the Peninsular war. III asdf
If such works could enable raw
troops to do such wonders, who could
expect men to make any impression
upon great battery trap--a series OF
forest-covered heights, defended by
works constructed by skillful engineers
and defended by large army. The
attack of such place, so defended, be-
fore it had been pounded by a weeks
cannonade, may very properly be
termed bulls run. Only the bul
must have been amad bull. - fix

Kitty made no reply, but with res
olute will went on her own way. When
the funeral was over, she led the wea-
ry heart-broken mother and wife,, and
the proud paralyzed daughter to their
new shelter, and the now sober hus-
band followed 1oQB ss.g'si hiai
But what a sight met their gaze
The hovel was cottage, every window
pane in its.place, the floors clean and
bright, the palings whitewashed, the
mud-hole gone, and the pleasant COM
forts of an humble home on every hand.
Into it they walked mute with aston
ishment, to find the favorite furniture,
even to Susan's piano. = ,''.o
"Where there's will there's way"
said Kitty, gravely@'I had anticipated
trouble, and with the money had been
laying up for few years, / have been
able by the kind assistance of my hus-
bands partner to secure this in my

ny and / will be faithful to the end.

She conquered just as she did with
the big boys. Thomas Gray had not
been inside a drinking saloon since
that memorable day. Miss Susan is a
wiser and better woman than before
the fall. The aged mother is only sor-
rowful that the dead man cannot return
and see how happy cheerfulness and
industry can make family.
Kitty still works away-her blue
eyes and golden hair, like the sky and
Spring sunshine, shedding light, and
JOY all around her. She sometimes
says quietly to Susan, that she shall
teach young Thomas, the third, that
important lesson which has been hel
own talisman through life }; THAI

We make the following extracts from
letters of the. correspondent of the
London Times in this country:asslE
Ia PRESIDENT LINCoLN.aiaTIy
What change since the heir of
England stood there by the side of one.
who may prove the last President of.
the United States-united, at least, as.
a voluntary entirety Is The feeble
courtliness of Mr.. Buchanan is replaced
by the straightforward purpose and
energy of Mr.. Lincoln, on whose broad
shoulders have fallen the grievous,leg-
acy of his predecessors vacillation and
errors and the letters, dispatches and,
messages which matured civil war are
succeeded by speeches to nedlegions
who are about to end it in conquest'or'
In defeat. 1t is probable the English
public are already familiar with the.
lines of the sallow, long, and strongly
marked face of the present President.
which to me is indicative of shrewd-
ness, honesty and some love of humor;
the eyes are deeply set, dark, not very
bright, but penetrating and kindly; the
tall, lank body, set on loose legs, with
powerful arms swinging by his sides,
is inclined with slight stoop forward,
and in his movements, if there is not
much grace, there is no lack of vigor.
jHi bne 20 GENERAL SCOTT. % crow
Beside him, towering over the crowd
and topping even the President, stands
General Scott, the veteran, but for
whom it is not too much to say, in spite.
of heaven born warriors fand citizen
soldiers in civil life, Just as Cabinets
exist in tho militia and volunteer regi-
ments, the President would probably
not be there at all. The bold, leonine
front of the man, the massive head and
broad forehead, the full fine eye, tho
mouth, broad and distinctly cut, and
the square resolute chin, arrests the at
tention and recalls the types of some
better known commanders but Ameri-
cans are justly proud of one who, in q
military career extending beyond half a
century, has been uniformly successful,
and who has not been less fortunate in
any diplomatic or political functions he
has undertaken to discharge.
+ The Virginians who burnt the house
in which he was born, lest it should see
the birth of another traitor, and who.
changed the name of county in their
State called after him to that of Davis,
will not do him any harm with posteri-
ty. His look and manner indicate his
mind is still vigorous, though the snow
of seventy six winters have wreathed
their honors round his brow; but when
the tower-like frame and great torso
are set in motion there is feebleness
in gate and want of power in the limbs,
which show that age and wounds and
hard labor have taken their hostages
and securities. eii9ifs ialaa@)

A Few WORDS ON RArIoNs.-Tha
British rout in Afighanister, when they
abandoned Cabul SO disastrously, was
due to one days failure in provisioning
the men. Marshal McMahon says that
vast events depend upon an army's not
going into action "till it has had its
coffee" We quote these words from
Mrs. Parton, who adds that Napoleon
saws that what soldier needs most is
two things, ga full belly and pair OF
shoes"-and tells us that Frederic used
to say, +" An army, like serpent, goes
upon its belly" saiaslal eii si.9i
