Arabian MaXins.

Death is nearer to us than the eyelid ia
the eye.
The little which suffices, is better than
the much which disturbs US.
The best possession is a sincere friend.
The eulogium made on the absent,
serves to incline our hearts to the pres
ent.
The best riches is contentment, the
worst OF property is low spirits.
Labor for this life as if thou vert to live
forever, and for the other, as if thou vert
to die tomorrow.
Desire not either the wise man or the
fool for thine enemy, but guard thyself
equally from the cunning of the wise man
and the ignorance of the fool.
The man who contents himself to-day
with that which he has, will content him
self tomorrow with that he may have.
There is no tomorrow, which cannot
be converted into to-day.

How a 'ssIartyr'' was made in
Illinois.

The Editor of the Rock Island Argus,
j. B. Danforth, jr., a modest and unas-
suming peace Democrat, who goes about
armed with sword cane aud revolver,
was transformed into martyr the other
day, by Major Beardsley, of the 18th llli-
nois Regiment. Danforth had been abus
ing the Ladies' Soldiers Aid Society, for
some weeks, through his paper, and
finally climaxed his conduct by address
ing the ladies an insulting letter, making
demands upon them which they did not
see hit to concede. Major Beardsley, hav-
ing the use of but one arm, the other hay
ing been wounded in the battle of Ring
gold, undertook to make report for the
Society. The Rock Island Union tells
the sequel thus:
During the morning the Major met the
copp, Thead editor in front of Harper &
Steel Hardware store and accosted him
b! le.na. king that he was now prepared
ia make the report for the Soldiers Aid
Society. Danforth mumbled over some
thing TO himself, when the Major planted
we'll aimed blow on the end and under
Dantorth's smelling organ, knocking him
through one OF the large windows in front
of Harper & Steel's. Danforth partially
recovered, when the Major followed up
the attack by several skillfully directed
blows which brought Danforth to the
pavement. Danforth commenced blub- |
berlng and begged like a schoolboy to |
be let up. This was pretty position for |
a man of Danforth's size to be in, and |
placed there by enc armed man, and |
unarmed at that, while the baby who Law /
at his feet was armed with a revolver and |
a sword -nann m rnnA. h.
paid Mr.. Riggs three dollars for putting
ii in good order. In the fracas Danforth
lost his wig, and we learn that he accuses
some one of the Grey Beard Regiment of
carrying it off.
The Major allowed his adversary to
arise, when he again aimed several well
put blows at Danforth, who burst in the
door OF Harper 4 Steel's store and at
tempted to gain the further end of the
room. He was met by Mr.. Harper, who
begged the Major to desist striking him,
and turning TO Danforth, whom he did
not recognize, said:
You had better leave here immediate
ly, or they will kill you' I
Z The Major told Harper to stand aside, I
As he believed heknew what he was about 6
that he was making a report for the !
Soldiers Aid Society, and he wished to /
make satisfactory one to the public G

WoRK.-The best lesson father can
give his SON is this:-"Work; strengthen
your moral and mental faculties, as you
would strengthen your muscles by vigor-
Gus exercise; learn to conquer circum-
stances; you are then Independents Of for

left their marks on the years in which

I civilized world, he says that the pimple
are papular and hemispheroidal, with an
occasional exception, when they are soft
and fat, which condition is much to be
feared, as those cases almost always ter
inmate fatally.
DIR. John Fisher, OF Boston, Mass,
wrote in 1885, and is among the highest
of American authorities. He says:
The eruptions of small pox are of the
size of pins heads, are round, hard, NOV
able, and rolling under the finger, and are
diagnostic of that disease"
Again he says, in giving the ditferen-
tial diagnosis between small and chicken
pox: "In small pox the eruption presents
itself in the form of small, red, circular
points. These are hard and resisting,
and movable. and communicate to the
finger shot-like sensation"
I could produce much other authority
to prove that our Eclectic journal friend,
nor none of his contemporaries, have
sstounded the medical world with their
new discovery, only in one way, and that
is to witness the amount of impudence
used in writing and publishing such false
statements as those contained in the quo
tation, completely paralleled by the ap-
parent ignorance and stupidity of its au-
thor
The quotation which the writer makes
is correct one, and with one or two 9TH
er symptoms, can always be relied upon,
as it has been for years past in the regu-
lar profession of medicine.
can assure the writer that he need
give himself no uneasiness for fear that
his ''unfailing diagnostic symptom" will
be left out of its proper place in any of
the standard works that may be hereaf-
ter published, but that he can find the |
symptom given in its proper place, just |
the same as he can now, if he will take
the trouble to examine almost any of the
authorities in the regular pro
iession, that have been issued within the
ast thirty or forty years.

The Great Gun.

One Of the most important events in
the history of the rebellion, and which
inaugurates a new era in the manufacture
of heavy guns, took place on Thursday,
between twelve and one O'Clock, at the
Fort Pitt Works. A gun with caIibre Of
twenty inches diameter, was cast on the
Rodman principle, in some twenty two
minutes from the time of tapping the fur
naces. The arrangements for casting
this mammoth piece of ordnance, were
most perfect, and during its process ev-
erything worked like clock work. The
amount of metal used for this huge gun
was eighty-6ve tons, or one hundred and
seventy thousand pounds. The metal
was melted in three furnaces, which were
charged at five o'clock in the morning.
At twenty minutes past twelve, every
thing being in readiness, the three fur
naces were simultaneously tapped, and
the molten metal was conveyed BY means
OF three conductors TO large reservoir
close to the mould. The mould was set
perpendicularly in a mammoth pit, and
was held in position by huge chains sus-
pended from two large cranes of q lifting
capacity of forty tons each, and worked
by steam. As soon as the reservoir was
sufficiently charged the metal flowed
from it into the mould, and in twenty
two minutes from the time of tapping the
furnaces the mould was filed to within
few inches of the top. As the metal
settled the mould was filed by the work
men with metal from furnaces held in re-
serve In case of accident The casting
was perfected without the slightest con.
fusion, the whole being done under the
immediate superintendent of Mr.. Jo-
seph Kaye, foreman of the works.
We are indebted to Captain Joseph NJ |
Knap for the following statistics, which
viii give our readers better idea of the
of the casting:

The gun, IT is estimated, will use q
spherical shot of half a ton weight, and q
shell of seven hundred and fifty pounds.
If the gun was rifled, il is thought il
would throw a solid shot of one ton in
weight. The amount of powder to be
used in charging the gun is estimated
from eighty to one hundred pounds
The gun is said to be the largest in the
world, and to Pittsburg belongs the hon
or of adding such heavy piece of ord
nance to the science of war.
The costing Of the gun, as we before re-
marked, was on the hollow core princi-
pie, invented by Major Rodman, United
States Army. The core consists of an
iron cylinder, half IN inch in thickness,
through which stream Of water is kept
continuously running during the process
of casting. The cylinder is wrapped with
rope, which is covered by sand, and out
side of this for short distance from the
mouth of the mould, is a sheet-iron cyl-
inder. During the casting the water dis
charged from the core indicated q tenn
