The Terrible XNeapon.

The exploits of the Parrott gun. at the siege of
Fort Pulaski, are but the prelude of what can and
will be done with that tremendous weapon. The
guns. which from their position on Big Tybee
Island, over a mile from the Fort, were able to
drive cast iron bolts through the stone wall as if
it had been cheese, were nothing but thirty

When the first specimen OF this weapon was turn
ell out, short time ago, there was great deal
of theoretical doubt about its successful opera
ton, but experiments which were carefully made
at the foundry. and at Sandy Hook, soon estab-
lshed its amazing capabilities The Government
promptly took the hint, and has enough PlrrOtt

in this connection 1t would be equally i'll timed
to- give the wonderful results of certain expert

the repetition of these experiments on a grander
scale in actual conflict The prediction is not a
rash one that these great Parrott guns will upset
good many notions of invulncrability that are
now regarded as scientific truths. And the end
is vet Guns of still larger calibre I'm pro-

Indiana STATE Debt.

The debt Of this State is now stated to be eleven
millions four hundred thousand dollars. There
must have been some mysterious increase of the
debt recently that the people have not been
aware of. The debt Row seems to be nearly as
large as il was when the Butler bill arrangement
made. by which one half the debt was liqIi-
dated. When that arrangement was made, the
debt reduced to something less than seven
millions, and it has been understood that taxes
have since been raised to pay the interest on the
debt and meet the ordinary expenses of the Gov
eminent. The present Constitution prohibits the
Legislature "from mourning any debt, except to
meet casual deficits in the revenue to paw the in
test on the present State debt; or to repel inya-
sion or suppress Instruction" How then has
the State debt been largely increasedT Will

are doing nobly at the peril of their lives. The
other is to maintain the Constitution as it is; and
