A jealous husband was going out on one
occasion to spend an evening, when his wife
said to him: "You needn't hurry home, my
dear, for shall be so very busy ro-nich,
sewing that | shan't be lonesome" This
innocent little speech created an uneasy sus-
picion in his mind, just as the wife bad
calculated. After he had gone the wife
dressed up dummy in suit of her hast
bands clothes, with hat noustacbe, and
everything necessary, and set it up in a chair
beside her. 1t was not long before she heard
sly creaking of the bed room door, and
presently in rushed the enraged husband and
presented pistol at the breast of the dunn
my. The wife shrieked with laughter, and
when the chag,ined husband saw his mistake
be saia Excuse me, my dear, thought it

OSE HUNDRED SHors A MlNurE- There
are now 65 Of the Union Repeating guns in
the army Of the Potomac. It is a riff d
arm, breach loading and has telescope
sight. The barrel is much thicker than An
ordinary rifle, although the ball used is only
one ounce in veighl-the ordinary caib,e
of Mimic ball.
The breach of the gun receives the ba |
from the cylinder in which q cartridges are
deposited. BY the turning of crank the
ball drops into the barrel when a hammer
instantly strikes the caps, when tie discharge
takes place The barrel moves upon a pivot
and can be elevated, lowered and moved
around at pleasure. In prospect of capture
the gun can be detached from the carriage
and borne from the field on the shoulder.
Each carriage is furnished with two bar
rels, so that in the event of one becoming
too warm it can be unscrewed and the
reserved one attached The ball and cart
ridge are placed in an iron case. at the end
Of which a percussion cap is fixed The
hammer, which strikes this cap, receives its
motion from the crank.
The rifle is represented as having made
one hundred aud fifty shots minute. One
hundred shots can be fired with ease. Al
every turn Of the crank discharge takes
place. The late exhibition was eminently
successful. Twentyfour shots were fired in
fourteen seconds. Two of those guns are
attached to Sickes brigade.
They were worked with grea; success in
the battles in which that brigade has partic-
ipated. The Government has ordered an
additional number of them. They can be
made for about $3.50. They are known as

The.Cancer,

We find the following statement in the
Herald Of Progress. 1t will not cost much
to test the efficacy of the remedy. We
know the very estimahle lady who makes the
statement, and know that she would not
knowingly make misstatement.- Ed.
Times.
A woman in our city had very large
cancer. She had a celebrated physician
from New York, who concluded to Gu, it
ont. 1t grew again. and then a physician
made an application that ale it out. 1t reap
peared, and through it all she was an intense
sufferer. Finally she and her family concIu-
ded there was no help for her. She was
then advised to try a clover plaster which
was made hv filing a small brass kettle With
fresh red clover blossoms After boiling
them in soft water for two hours they were
skinned out, and the kettle again He'd
with the same quantity Of the blossoms in
the same water, when these were skinned
out, the water was boiled down to a sort Of
thin molasses, which when set away, dried
to a consistency like salve. She applied
this externally for perhaps six weeks or two
months at the same time she ahstained from
tea or coffee, and drank the clover tea to
the exclusion of anything else. 1t cured
her cancer entirely. Previous to that
cured one in the same way. I have known
three others who had been real sufferers for
some time, but who were cured bv this treat
ment. consider taking the tea as indsl
pensibe as the salve. / give the reme,l,
very particularly SO that it may be done

Tree WoRM-In conversation with an
intelligent gentleman. who has studied much
upon the nature Of trees, day or two since,
he expressed the opinion that the cause of
the decay of many of Sthe apricot trees
might be traced to a worm which finds is
way into the trunk. 1t is little less than an
egth of an inch in diameter An excessive
quantity Of water for long time about the
tree is likely to cause the worm to breed
and do mischief. They are very likely to
enter the tree by what is called the "tap
root" which in this country is cut off when
the tree is planted. 1t is said that such
cutting causes the tree 10 bear fruit much
earlier but that i: decays much scorer. The
worm dev"urs the pith and causes the tree
to die. 1t sometimes. however enters the
trunk near the ground and can be found BY
carefully washing the tree and making a
close search. A pin or An awl i'll kill the
intruder. In case he cannot be found in the
trunk, it may he well, if practicable, to
examine the tap root and inject strong soap
suds into it, if the insect is out of reach.
Soaking the root with the same may also
have = beneficial effect. The suggestion is
at least worth a considerations when so
much tree property is bei"c lost.
