ANECDoTE OF W ESDEIL PuuLLITs -
Mr.. Train, in a speech at Boston the
other evening, speakings of Wendell
Phillips, said: That distinguished Alb
olitionist went to Charleston, S. c.,
once, before he was very we'll known,
and put up at a hotel. He had break
fast served in his room, and was waited
upon by slave. He embraced the
opportunity to represent to the negro,
in very pathetic way, that he was a
man and brother, and more than that
an abolitionist. The negro seemed
more anxious about the breakfast than
he was about his relation or the condi-
ton of bis soul, and finally, in despair,
Mr.. Phillips ordered him to go away,
saying that he could not bear to be
waited upon by 4 slave. "Excuse me,
massa," said the negro, ''must stay
here, cause Use responsible for the sill
yer ware" Great laughter.

guns at million of dollars apiece-the
guns to be furnished in time for the
next war.
The last weapon subject to trial was
a modntain howitzer of new pattern
The inventor explained that its great
advantage was, that it required no pow
der. In battle it is placed on top of a
high mountain, and ball slipped loose
ly into it. AS the enemy passes the
foot of the mountain, the gunner in
charge tips over the howitzer and the
ball rolls down the side Of the noun
tain into the midst Of the doomed foe.
The range of this terrible weapon de-
pends greatly upon the heighth of the
mountain and the distance to its base.
The government ordered forty of these
mountain howitzers at d hundred thou
sand dollars APIECE, to be planted on
the first mountains discovered in the
enemy's country.

Improved Cannon.

Orpheus c. Kerr thus describes some
of the ewlyinvented cannon he saw
tested at the navy yard lately:
By invitation of we'll known off
cial, visited fhe Navy Yard yester-
day, and witnessed the trial of some
newlyinvented rif1ed cannon. The tri
al was of short duration, and the iur,
brought in verdict of innocent of any
intent to kill.
The first gun tried was similar to
those used in the Revolution, except
that it had a large touch hole, and the
carriage was painted green, instead OF
blue. This novel and ingenious weap-
on was pointed at target about sixtv
yards distant. It didn't hit it, and, as
nobody saw any ball, there was mucl
pcrplexlty expressed. A midshipmar
did say that he thought the ball must
have run out of the touch-hole wher
they loaded up; for which he was i'm
mediately expelled from the service
After long search without finding the
ball, there was some thought of SUM
moning the Naval Retiring Board tc
decide upon the matter, when some one
happened to look into the mouth of the
cannon, and discovered that the bal
hadn't gone out at all. The inventor
said this would happen sometimes. cs
pecially If you didn't put brick owe,
the toachhole when you fred the GUN
The Government was so pleased with
this explanation, that it ordered forty
guns on the spot, at two hundred thon.
sand dollars apiece. The guns to be
finished as soon as the war is over.
The next weapon tried was Jinks's
double back action revolving cannon
for ferry boats. It consists Of a heavy
bronze tube, revolving on pivot, with
beth ends open, and touch-hole n tbe
middle. While one gunner puts q load
IN at one end, another puts in load Al
the other end, one tonch-hole servino
for both. Upon applying match, the
gun is whirled swiftly round on pivot
and both balls fly out in circles. cansine
great slaughter on both sides. Thi.
terrible engine was aimed at the targe
with great accuracy; but as the gunner
has large family dependent on hin
for support, he refused to apply tb.
match. The Government was satis6e,
without firing, and ordered six Of tho

Labor is rcst-from the sorrows that greet US
Rest from all petty vexations that nlaet US,
Rest from sin-prelnptangs that ever entreat US,
Rest from world-syrens that lure US to i'll.
These four lines from the pen Of Mrs.
Oscood contain food for a world Of re-
fcction; and yet how few appreciate
and obey the heaven-command to Ia
Dor! Mankind are eternally contrlv-
ing some method by which they may
obtain-not earn-a livelihood without
toll, at least by their hands. 1t seems
to be the lcighth of the ambition Of a
young man to lay out some plan In life
by which to become wealthy "by his
wits, by brain-work. And from this
they are seldom discouraged by their
lawful guardians, but instead assisted
by every artifce they can command.
Little do these realize how exhaustin Q
this constant labor Of the brain becomes
to both the body and the mind. And
they seem to totally ignore the fact
that where one meets with success, ten
fail, and pass away in poverty and un-
honored. True, a few become promi-
nent, wealthy, and revered; but in
comparison with those who utterly fail,
they are isolated cases. But the man
who labors cheerfully and persevering-
ly at any Of the various vocations, is
certain to attain all he needs, and very
often all the luxuries which his appe-
tite and fancy crave.
These reflections have been induced
by noticing the great number Of idle
boys to be found in every community.
Every monkey show that perambulates
the country they must witness. They
must go to balls, saloons and horse
races. They play cards and billiads
with the 0aaivete Of experienced gam
blers. They swear according to the
'latest STYLE" and guzzle lager with
the gusto Of a Dutchman. They are
idle-are being lulled in the cradle of
Incidence by their thoughtless and in
dulgent parents. Their laziness begets
dishonesty, which in turn bcgets the
penitentiary and hell. The boy that
never has anything to do, will steal.-
But to the active, industrious lad you
may trust your fortune, and your conf
dence will not be misplaced.
Parents! for the sake of the welfare
Of your child and your own happiness,
always know how and where he spends
his leisure time. When he arrives at
the proper age, apprentice him to learn
the trade of his own choice. A thor
ough knowledge of a'ay trade is equiv
alent to a beqaest of at least one thou
sand dollars. Whether he shall pursue
in after life the business he has learned
in his boyhood or not, it is as good as
money at interest. If he fails in new
branch of business, he can make an
other "raise" at his old trade. Re
member this great truth: "Every boy
should learn trade"

a SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-A short time
ago a Federal officer, noted for his
suavity as well as bravery, was stroll,
ing down a sidewalk III Memphis, when
he met y couple Of secesE ladies (?)
who with every symptom of disgust i'm.
mediately placed their handkerchiefs te
their delicate noses, as though they
smelt something terribly odious. The
officer at once stopped, lifted his hat
with one hand, placing his other over

To the Electors of the Second Con.
gressional District.

BY the death of Hon. Luther Han
chett, the Second Congressional Dis
trict of Wisconsin, under the old ap-
portionment, is left without a represen-
tative in the present Congress. The
Governor has ordered an election to fill
the vacancy, to be held on Tuesday,
the 30th inst. Owing TO the brief in
terval of time that remains, and the
shortness of the mexpired term, the
District Committee appointed by the
Cony yention which nominated Mr.. Han
chett two years ago, have thought it
proper to unite in recommending can
didate, rather than to call Convention
which would necessitate the appoint
ment of delegates throughout District
comprising nearly onc-half the terrific
ry of Wisconsin.
They have further been confirmed in
the proprlety Of this course by what
has seemed very general concentra-
ton of public sentiment in favor of
Hon. Walter d. McIndoe, of Marathon,
as such candidate.
We, therefore, unite in recommend
ing Mr.. McIndoe to the support of the
electors of the district, as a gentleman
in all respects well qualified for the po-
sition. Upright, capable, and patriot
ic; familiar with legislation an old
resident of the district, well acquainted
with its requirements firm and un
swerving supporter Of the war for the
suppression of The rebellion and the en-
torcemcnt of the Constitution and laws
throughout every portion of the Ma
tional domain, he deserves, and we
trust will receive, the hearty and gene
raj support of the electors Of the dis
trict.
