The English Press ON American Ord
nance.a

The London Herald states the case
against England very strongly. 1t says,
In 50 many words, that England has only
one gun-and that is now a notorious
failure; yet according to the Herald:
"The whole of the siege, field and
horse batteries of the regiment of artillery,
the fortIfcations Of Gibraltar, Malta, and
other important stroDghods, besides the
works Of defense at home, and every
ship in the royal navy, are now, almost
without exception, armed with guns

Armstrong; pattern. There may be a
battery or two Of Mr.. Whitworth's or
Capt. Blakeley's; there may be large
numbers Of the smooth bore pattern in
store but the service gun of the British
army and navy, its sole point of depen-
dence in the event of hostiiities breaking
out, is the riied breechloader, which
with such implicit confidence and at such
enormous cost, has been issued as our
recognized heavy ordnance
But 1t goes on to saw that this gun, up-
on which, for the present. the power of
England depends, is a "totaI failure. -

To show the enormous ADVANTAGE the
Americans have over the English in the
matter of heavy guns, the London Herald
admits that the heaviest piece of ordnance
now known to be reliable by the British
Admiralty. is the old smooth bore 6s-

MAKING WISE.-An American having
written 10 friend in Italy for instruc.

paper, The South Bend Register:
Washington is becoming more and
more northernized. Instead Of the list
lsssness and stagnation which seemed to

all hustle and activity. The new blood
in it's veins appears TO have given it
new life, and a new era of prosperity
seems to have opened before il. Not only
