aOIIAKER GUNS"

Much ado is made about certain Qua
ker guns which were found in position at
Centreville, after its evacuation by the re-
bells, and which are held up as proof
positive of the cowardice and inethclency
of General Mcclellan. This view can
be honestly taken only on the assumption
that the works at Centreville were never
mounted with any other than Quaker
suns--a conclusion which could be ar
rived at only by those who are entirely
ignorant ofthe arts and practices of war.
For this device of Quaker guns is one
constantly and successfully used by COM
manders who intend to retreat from forts
or entertainments.
Next TO his men, an officers first care
is his artillery. But TO remove his guns
in sight of the enemy would be TO notify
him in the quickest and most unmistaka-
BILE manner of the intended evacuation
So his pickets are strengthened and even
pushed forward, as if for an advance
then in the night the guns are removed,
and wooden ones of similar size and ap
pearance, so like as to make the detection
even with a glass impossible, are substitu
ted for the real Simon Pures. Dayligh
maniiests no change in the apparen
strength of the works; the bulk Of the
troops move of by daylight; and wher
the next night comes the pickets with
draw suddenly and run for it.
There is obviously no protection agains
the trick, except a nightly driving in o
pickets, and reconnaissance in force in tn
dark, which is generally more harrassin
to those who undertake it than to the en-
envy, and is rarely productive of nue.
good. The supposition that, because tn
rebels left only Quaker guns behind them
they took none of the worlds guns wit
them, makes itplain that they did not us
up all the wood in the world in makin
sham artillery.-[N. Y. Times.

MANUFACTURE OF BoMBsuELLs.-The
Philadelphia Press says Several firms
in this city are at present engaged in the
manufacture Of shells for Government,
and are turning out daily large quantities.
After q shell has been finished, many are
puzzled to determine-there being but a
single hole in the little hollow bsll-how
the core is taken out. The core is COM
posed of -four and sand, and after being
properly moulded and finished, is placed
in an oven and baked like loaf of bread
until il becomes hard. The hot metal,
when it is poured into the mould, burns
the -four out and the sand crumbles so as
to be easily taken out.

THE HEROIC WIFE OF PARsoN
BRowNLow.-The naturally feeble health
of the Parson gave way after the lapse
of month, under the close confinement
and i'll treatment. He was taken sick
with the typhoid fever, when the earnest
prayers of his family and friends for per-
mission to remove him to bis home was at
last granted. He was confined to his bed
and room for nearly eight weeks. AT
one time his lite was despaired of. Even
then rebel persecution did not cease
The house was surrounded day and night
by guards. The members of his family
were not allowed to leave it. The sur
veillance went so far as to compel his
wife to do her marketing in front of the
house, in the presence of one of the guards.
Every opportunity was also improved by
rebel dastards to insult Mrs. Browulow
and her children. On one occasion, a
company of cavalry that had run away
fron the battlefield at Logan's Cross
Roads, leaving their horses and every
thing else but their precious per-ons, was
marching past the house, while Mrs
Brownlow was looking out of the win
dows. One of the runaways stopped be-
fore her and asked & Are you the wife
of traitor and Lincolnite p The spirited
woman at once replied, 81 am glad that
| am not the wife of miserable coward,
that runs away from the battlefield"

THE LATE BROADER GENERAL LANDER
The late Brig. Lander was as modest as he
was brave, and upon his death the newspapers
found much difficulty in obtaining materials
for even a short biographical sketch Certain
general facts in his life were well known, but
so far as we are aware no connected account
of his adventurous career has ever been pub
lished. Previous to his death, Messrs L.
Prang & Co, of Boston requested him to send
materials for biography, to be published in
their forthcoming work, "Tbe Officers of the
Union Army and Navy-their Lives and
Portraits" They received the following
characteristic letter in reply:

EXTRAORDINARY BANK RoBBERY.-

EXTRAORDINARY BANK RoBBERr.-
One of the most barefaced robberles we
ever heard OF took place at ST. Louis, on
the 9th of March. The chief actor was
a mere boy named Redman. i
The city being under martial law ana
a very sharp look being kept after Seces-
sionists, the youngster forged an order
of the Provost Marshal, asking military
officer in command in the city for squad
of six men to aid in the arrest Of Mr..
Hammer 81 Co., bankers, on change OF
disloyalty to the Government. Mt be,
ing altogether satisfied with the aspect OF
the Provost Marshars signature to the
request, the officer applied to refused to
detail the men, Another forgery enabled
Redman to procure the services of a
squad of men from a Wisconsin regiment,
who accompanied him to the banking
house, which is situated in one OF the
most crowded of the thoroughtares of the
city. Stationing the guard AT the door,
Redman entered and informed Mr.. Ham
mer that he was a prisoner. Mr.. Ham
mer asked an explanation. This was re-
fused him, and he was told to go instantly
with the guard. The banker began to
put up his bills and gold, but that was
what the young scoundrel did not want
above all things, and accordingly he for
babe it. Resistance only brought the
the guard with their bristling bayonets
and Hammer, at the risk of implement
threw what he could readily catch up in
to the safe and locked it. On being or
dered to open it he refused, but was
obliged to give up the key. The LOCK
being combination one, Redman coulc
not open it, although he tried very hard
Hammer was commanded to unlock the
safe, but that he absolutely refused to do
and was given over to the guard, whit
took him to place of custody. Mean
while Redman gathered up what none,
was left-some S2250-and pocketed il
He then made his way cooily through tn
crowd around the door and effected hi
escape. He was subsequently, caught
however, and is likely to meet his desert:

Ing in bilinry derangenent, caused by

We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, Is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CrRE" expelsftA6 fniasmatic poison OF FEVER
AND AGuE from the system, and prevents the de
Seopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach OF its premOnitory symptoms. Itisnot only
the best remedy yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest The large
quantity We supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
ton a great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intenittents is that it contains no Quinne
or mineral, consequently it produces no qunisH or
other injurious effects whatever upon the cOnsti.u-
ton, Those cured by it are left as healthy as ii
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the nliasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
aers arise from its irritation, among which arc
