A Tribute to GeneralLee

The recent war between the North and
South has developed military genius which
would have slumbered on forever if the emer-
gency had not called it forth. The mighty
waters surged up names that will live forever.
Robert &. Lee is one of them. His fame
burst upon the world with sudden splendor,
but it will never fade from the galaxy of
greatness. The Montreal, Canada, Telegraph,
in speaking of Gen. Lee, says "Posterity will
rank General Lee above even wellington or
Napoleon, before SAKE or Turenne, above
Marlborough or Frederick, before Alexander
or Caesar Careful of the lives of his men,
fertile in resource, a profound tactlcian, gifted
with the swift intuition which enables COM
mander to discern the purposes of his enemy,
and the power of rapid combination which
enables him to oppose to it prompt resist
ance; modest, frugal, sslf-denying void of ar
rogance or self assertion, trusting nothing to
chance; among men noble as the noblest, in
the lofty dignity of the Christian gentleman;
among patriots less sef-seeking, and as pure
as Washington; and among soldiers combining
the religious simplicity of Havelock, with the
genius of Napoleon, the heroism of Bayard
and Sydney, and the untiring, overwhelming
duty of Wellington, In fact, Robert E. Lee,
of Virginia, is the greatest General Of this or
any other age. He has made his own name,
and the Confederacy he served, immortal"

Tbe prussian Needle Gun.

,s this weapon has been frequently refer
! T., few words in description of its plan
, ,'" principles will not be out of place:
rbs cartridge used in the Needle gun is
uo5e of stiff card board, the ball, powder,
'"J Explosive composition being contained in
'ns and the same cylinder. Its great pecu-
Garitv is that the decorating powder is placed
llaamediately in rear or base Of the ball, and
tween it and the powder The advantage
D " his is that, when the powder is ignited,
.hot norton next the ball, in which combus-
. .u~' is first perfected, exerts its full force
''On the proiectile, the powder in rear also
lPortinc its influence, as it becomes almost in-
.sntaneously ignited. Under the present
',,trm in which that part Of the powds6,next
!, the breech of the gun is first ignited, 4 por-
ton Of the powder is frequently expelled from
.ba oun with the ball in condition of only
narfal combustion, the explosive force of
Re nowdsr first consumed being adequate to
sy6aI the ball and the powder in its front be-
eve the whole charge has time to become en-
frely ignited Thus in the Needle gun all
,be powder is consumed, and applied to the
host effect, and 50 as to obtain its fullest force
a. fine same instant and in the same direc-
hon, The ''Needle" gun is a breech loader;
and when the trigger is pulled, stout
needle" or wire is thrust through the base Of
the rcartridge, parallel with its axis, into the
decorating charge, causing its explosion
and the ignition of the cartridge. In ac-
curacy the Needle" gun cannot be surpassed,
and its effective range is said to be about ff-
teen hundred yards tits, however, doubtful
whether it will be found to bear with impu-
pjty the necessarily rough treatment of an
active campaign. The Prussian Jagers, and
sharp-shooters generally, are armed with this
formidable weapon, and upon skirmish line,
when it can be used with care and deIibera-
finn. il must prove very effective.

American Opium Cultivation.
From the New York Tribune.


1t has long been known that the species of
poppy from which opium is obtained is indi-
gsnous in Northern Mexico; where it grows
in great profusion in the extensive plateaux
of that country According to the report of
Major Dufield, United States Marshal in Ari-
IONA, this plant is also found growing in its
natural wild state in the valley of the Santa
Cruz River.
Mr. Emanuel Weiss, Of Pennsylvania has
recently visited the regions where the poppy
Is found, for the purpose of examining the
country with reference to its availability for
home culture. In circular which be has
Just issued he exhibits the China trade with
England and the United States, from which
tappears that the British Government ex-
changes opium with the Chinese for tea, and
transfers large quantity of the latter article
to tae United States, for which we pay in
gold
If it be true, as set forth in this circular,
that two families, with bat two able field
hands, can put ten acres of peoples under
cultivation, which will yield about 1900
lbs. of merchamabe opium, containing near
ly ten per cent. of morphine, it will prove
one of the most profitable crops in this coun-
try The poppy natures rapidly, and is
harvested within one hundred days from the
date Of planting. The greater part of the
year could, therefore, be employed in the pro-
ducton of other crops, in stock growing, or
IN mining operations, for either of which the
Territory of Arizona affords ample facilities
The production of opium as an article of ex-
port would add materially to our commerce
and weuld remove the necessity for a large
expectation of the precious metals
