drance to the realizing of this mineral
wealth is the difficulty Of transporting it to
the seaboard, there being neither railroads
nor navisable rivers in the country, and
the only means of transportation being
the backs of mules. The commercial in

OF the people, aud the small extent to

with the general insecurity OF property, to

Four CHILDREN SMoTHEREp TO
DEATH IN AN OLD OAK CREST "A ter
rible realization of the tale of Ginevra,
which Rogers has immortalizod in verse,
was discovered in the township of New
burg yesterday. On Wednesday afternoon
last man named Schoger, living near the
Buckeye House, on Kinsman street road,
left the house with his WIFI to 90 into the
field to work. Their four children, aged
from two to ten years, remained at home.
On returning 10 the house the parents
sought in vain for their children. Search
was made around the premises, over tho
farm and through the woods, the whole
neighborbood turning out to jim in it, but
without success. Yesterday morning,
however, their own house was searched,
and in it, in an old German chest, the
children were found, smothered to death,
their faces being black from suffocation.-
In their play the children had got into
the chest, and the lid falling and tho
spring catching, had been imprisoned in
a living tomh.-Cleu.1und CO., Leader,

space of three days, the presumrtuous

combined were enough to have turned
them most eflectualy. Ii this expedition

FLOUR SPEcULoRs IN BosToN.-The
receipts OF flour at Boston during the last
week were $4,000 barrels, and the stock
on hand at the time was $4,000 barrels.
There is very little foreign demand, conse-
quently, this heavy amount is dependent
upon, rs it is intended for, home COM
sumption. II was purchased az specula-
ton, in the same way that other articles
have been bought by lorestallers elsewhere,
who think they see profit in the transact
ton. If gold falls, Or even remains at its
present quotation, such enterprises, lose
their profit. There is also chance Of
loss by the souring and consequent spoil
ing of the articles. Meantime such heavy
speculations, where the third of a million
OF barrels of an article Of prime necessity
are locked up, accounts, in some degree,
both for the strngency of the money mar
ket and the cost of food. Il other cities
have as largely entered into the specula-
ton az Boston, il cannot be wondered that
prices now rule high.-PhH. finer.

The Antiquity OF CANNOH.-No his
torian has ever given us the true epoch Of
the use Of metallic cannon; it is certain.
however, that they were in use about the
middle of the fourteenth century. The
Swedes used lead cannon between the
years 1920 and 1852, which were lined on
the inside with tubes of wood or copper,
and secured on the outside by iron rings
The general opinion is that cannon were
first made use of in 1886 or 1888. They
were certainly made use Of by the English
in l347 at the siege Of Calais and BY the
Venctians at Chiaggia in 1896, and in
their war with the Gtnoese in 1894 anu
Ass the Turks employed them. In the
commencement o. the fifteenth century
Murice, of Switzerland, discovered :,
method of casting cannon whole, and
boring them so as to withdraw the core
III q single piece. In 1870 cannon were
made of iron at ST. Petersburg, and balls
of many pounds weight were projected
without injury to the pieces. Cannon
took their name from the French word
canne-a reed. Before their invention
machines were used for throwing enOr-
nous stones these were initiated from
the Arabs. and called ngeaid, whence en-
gincer. The first cannon were made Of
wood, wrapped in numerous folds OF lin
en- and we'll secured by iron hoops. Even
to this day wooden cannon are used by
the Poles.

How TOW LOST HIS SnEEp.-An old
farmer in Tennessee sent hi, son Tom to
Memphis with flock Of sheep TO sell.
Tom sold the sheep and got the money,
but falling in company with some sports,
who had tie presence of mind 10 hold
better hands than he did, he was cleaned
out. Tom went home. but avoided the
old man. lie told his mother, however,
of what had bcfallen him, and she tool.
the news, as gently as she could to the
master of the manor and the sheep pasture.
The old man raved, and Tom very judi
ciously continued to keep out Of his way.
One day the farmer had friend to din.
ner, and some spirituous potations being
introduced, they became quite merry.
This was Toms opportunity. lie rushed
into the room holding four kings in lis
hand, and exclaimed, Father, would
YOU bet anything on n hand like that !"
"Bct: Guess l would. I'd bet every
cent l had" well" said Tom with
sigh, that's what became Of the sheep.
The other Teller had four aces !" The old
man was spccchless.

THE EVENING NEWS.
SUPPLEMENT-

Is THE SrS INnAB1TED Sir John
Hershel concludes that the sun is planet
abundantly stored with inhabitants; lis
inference being drawn from the following
arguments; On the tops Of mountains OF
sufficient height, at an altitude where the
clouds seldom reach to shelter them from
the rays of the sun, are always found 10
be regions of ice and snow. Now, if the
solar rays themselves convey all the hca:
to this globe, it ought to be the hottest
where the course is least interrupted.
Again, aeronauts ali confirm the coldness
of the upper regions of the atmosphere.
Since, therefore, even on our Garth. the
heat of any situation depends upon the
aptncss of the medium to yield 10 the lm-
preston of solar rays, we have only to ad-
nit that on the sun itself. the elastic fluids
composing its atmosphere and the matter
on the surface are Of such nature rs not
to not to be capable of any affection f.om
its own rays. Indeed, this seems TO BE-
proved from the cop;ouS emission Of them;
for if the elastic fluids Of the atmosphere
or the matter on the surface of the sun
were Of such 4 nature as 10 admit of any
chemical combination with its rays. their
emission would be much impcded.
A wcll-known fact is. the solar focus of
the largest lens thrown into the air vii!
