house 10 Lambeth st cost Of fl,000. Col
Scott, however, did nst live long to enjoy these
tokens of the royal favor; for. dying in 1871, ,
be was buried IN Lambeth church, where a
sumptuous monument, still 10 be seen, was
erected to his memory by his loving wife Anne
whom he married in France. The sculptor
has represented the Coloue as so srmor clad
herce-looking man. wearing heavy mustache
and pointed beard.
In the very year of the Colonel's death.
Gustayus Adolphus had an ample proof of the
effectiveness and utility OF the leathern artillery
at the battle Of Leipsic. The guns were found
to be so easily portable that a small battery
could easily be removed from one part of the
field TO another, or new battery was made in
the space Of ten minutes and when fresh
attack was about 10 be made on the part Of
the enemy, a battery was immediately at hand
TO repel it. 10 fact, il was 10 a great measure
owing 10 the invention of Colonel Scott that
the Swedish King obtained SO glorious vic
tory; aud the imperial General Tilly himself
was eoustraiued to admit that the portable
cannon performed wonders. How it came
about that the leathern ordnance was shortly
laid aside as worthless, is ficult 10 explain or
even conjecture; but it is not recorded TO have
made any subsequent appearance on the battle
field, though a leathern cannon was fred in
Edinburg so late as the year l7SS-probably
out OF curioSity.--M the Year Round.

Leathern Artillery.
our pay

The field pieces of former age were ma,
chimes of iron or brass. immensely cumbrous
and almost unmanageable. The problem TO be
solved was, how to render gun more portable
without lessening its projectle force. After
full consideration OF the matter, Robert Scott
came to the conclusion that there was nothing
like leather" OF hardened leather, therefore,
he constructed guns. The correctness of his
idea was tested by experiment, and the result
was considered TO show the immeasurable supe-
riority of leather over brass and iron. Why
be did not lay the Invention st the feet of his
own liege sovereign, ii is needless to inquire.
Perhaps be did SO and was snubbed for his
pains, as other inventors have benn since bis
time. At all events, be raised company Of
200 men and went over to Sweden, where be
was welcomed by Gustavus Adolphus, who,
seeing bis ability and the value Of his discovery,
forthwith took him into his service, and at the
end Of two years rewarded him with the Office
of Quartermaster General of the army. Afer
FIVE years service under Gustavus, be repaired
TO Denmark, where he was appointed General
of the Kings Artillery; but soon afterwards,
yielding to the advice of friends, he returned TO
England, aud rendered bis services to his own
sovereigs, King Charles I. This step, which
was taken 10 1929, turned out very profitable
one for the ColoDel. He was received with
open arms by Charles, who appointed him one
of the gentlemen OF bis privy chamber, granted
him an annual pension of $500 out of the
Court Of Wards, and purchased for him q

The PLACE OF ONES BIRTH.-Oue likes to
know the place of ones birth by other than
artificial marks-by some hoary mountain,
severe yet kindly in its aspect, that one has
learned to love as friend-by some long
Withdrawing arm OF the sea sublimeiy guarded
where it opens to the ocean, by its magnificent
portals of rock-by some wild range of precip-
itous coast, that rears high its ivy bound pin
nacles, and where the green wave ever rises
and falls along dim resoundiDg caverns-by
some lonely glen, with its old pine forests hang

Letter from Fort Humboldt.

Ma. EDIroR-Again l write you from this
post; everything is going along as usual at any
military post, no, being in the midst of any
wsr-like movements.
The weather. after hard run, has finally
settled down. and pursued a steady course as
all good weather should, for the past few days.
We do really have some beautiful weather up
here 10 Humboldt.
The Indians do not all seem to be as quiet
as some of the residents of this county would
wis them to be. They have committed seve-
raj depreda,ions near here lately. Two houses
were robbed of everything they could carry
away, and then burned. Lieut.. Middleton, of
the Mountain Battalion. came in with twenty
three Indians, few days ago, from Trinity
Centre. and put them in confinement on the
peninsula opposite his place, as prisoners OF
war. There is about four hundred confined at
that place at present. and the Government
is furnishing soldier ra,ions to them.
SANITARY.
A good deal OF interest is being taken here
in sanitary matters. The Ladies of Arcata
organized Soldiers Aid Society, and held
Fair at that place, on the thirtieth of Decem.
Der, which realized the snug little sum Of one
thousand dollars. A resident OF that place
built huge cake to be sold on the occasion
1t was made in sections. each section repre-
senting State. 1t was surmounted by the
glorious old flag with all its stars complete
1t was sold by section or State, at auction
the sale of i. amounted to little over $500
tie State of New York sold for $50, being
the largest price paid for any State. The cake
was donated by its purchasers to the Aid So
ciety at Eureka, and re sold again last night.
| have not learned the gross receipts, but by
the prices paid for some of the States there
must have been realized as much as at Arcata.
Several other articles were sold, such as books,
work boxes, cabinets baskets OF apples, etc.
Qnite stirring speech was made by Surgeon
FulSome, &, v, on the occasion.

A REAsoR FOR GoISG TO CHUR en-
My desire is to give you one or
two good reasons for going to church
which do rot depend upon the au-
thenticity Of Christianity or upon
the sacredness Of the Christian Sab
bat at all.
Ny FIRST reason is, that unless a
man puts himself into a clean shirt,
polished boots and good clothes once
. week, and goes out into the public,
he is almost certain to lapse into
semi-barbarism. You know that un-
less you do this on the Sabbath, you
cannot do it at all, for YOU labor all
the week. There is nothing like
standing isolated and alone, with no
place in the machinery Of society, to
tone down ones self-respect. You
must be aware that you are not in
sympathy with society. You are
looked upon as an outsider, because
you refuse to come in contact with
society on its brOadest and best
ground. tell you it is good thing
for man to wash his face clean, and
put on his best clothes and walk to
the house of God with his children
on the Sabbath, whether he believes
in Christianity or not. The church
is . place where at least good morals
are inculcated, and where the vices
Of community are denounced. You
can afford to stand by so much Of
the church, and, in doing so, say:
"Hvre am I, and here are mine,
with stake in the welfare of society,
and an interest in the morals Of so.
ciety."
NY dear friend, this little onera.
tion gone through with every Sab.
bath, would give you self-reSpect,
help you to keep your head above
water, and bring you into sympathy
with the best society the world pos
