The Prussian "Needle" Gun.

As this weapon, which was referred to in
the telegraphic dispatches published on yes
terday will in all probability be frequently
mentioned during the course of the present
European war, a few words in description Of
its plan and principles will not be out Of place
The cartridge used in the Needle gun is
made of stiff card board, the ball, powder,
and explosive composition being contained in
one and the same cylinder. Its great pecu-
liarity is that the decorating powder is placed
immediately an rear Of the base of TIE JoU
and between it and the powder. The adj
vantage of this is, that when the powder is
ignited that portion next the ball in which
combustion is first perfected exerts its full
force upon the projectile, the powder in rear
also exerting its influence, as it becomes al
most simultaneously ignited, Under. the
present system, in which that part Of the
powder next to the breech of the gun is first
ignited portion Of the powder is frequently
expelled from the gun with the ball in con-
dition of only partial combustion, the explo-
sive force of the powder first consumed being
adequate to expel the ball and the powder in
it's front before it's whole charge has time to
become entirely ignited. Thus in the Needle
gun, all the powder is consumed and applied
to the best effect, and so as to obtain its full
est force at the same instant and IN the same
direction ii --i!-'.-.f,rE 1a ls3a5
The ''Needle" gun is breech loader ); and
when the trigger is pulled, stout needle
Or wire is thrust through the base Of the cart
ridge, parallel with it's axis, into the detona-
ting charge by the ball, causing its explosion
and the ignition of the cartridge. .
In accuracy the Needle" gun cannot be
surpassed, and its effective range is said to
be about fifteen hundred yards. 1t is, how
ever, doubtful whether it will be found to
bear with impunity the necessarily rough
treatment of an active campaign. oG,
The Prussian Jagers and sharpshooters
are generally armed with this formidable
weapon, and upon a skirmish line, when it
can be used with care and elaboration, it
must prove highly effective. -Richnsoad

Build up Home Enterprises.

The matter of home industry, says the
Fredericksburg Herald, is of vital impor-
lance to the people of the South. We must
do everything in our power to foster and en-
courage all and everything that in the least
tends to concentration of capital and labor
in our midst, and which seeks to develop the
mechanical and agricultural resources of our
section. The shade of difference in the pri-
ces of material produced at home should not
be of such moment as to cause total dis
continuance of patronage, all of which is in
favor of the foreign producer but fair allow
ances should be made and public spirit enough
eyinced, as shall place our mechanical abili-
ties upon such footing that they will be
able to compete with outside capital and
cheap labor 1t is but question of time,
which liberality and enterprise will soon ae
complish. -
10 this end encourage your own work
shops-your own foundries-your own me-
chanics your own merchants Neither go
abroad nor send abroad for what you can
have manufactured or can purchase at home.
We ought not to purchase articles from out
side sources which can be produced in our
midst, merely because they are trife cheap
err, but should encourage our own producers
by our patronage. We can neither be great
nor independent until we are self-sustaining,
and we ought to be willing to pay for these
blessings. They will come with a united effort
on the part of our people, and not before
Daily Neus.

How Brigham YOung's Wives Live.

A Mrs. Wait, who has lived in Utah, has
written book, in which she describes the
life of the women in that territory. The fol-
lowing is an extract from the chapter on
BrIgham's wives:
"The Internal arrangement of affairs at
the Harem is very similar to that of a young
ladies boarding school. Each woman hav-
ing her own room, her affairs are all centred
there. The culinary department. is under
the control Of such of the wives as Brigham
from time to time appoints. She is the
stewardess, and carries the keys. A cook
is employed generally man-and several
servants besides, who are under the control
of the stewardess.
When the meals are prepared and ready,
the bell rings, and each woman with her
children, if she have any, flies down to the
Each, on rising, has her children to attend
to and get ready for breakfast; this over,
she commences the business of the day, ar
ranges her rooms, and sits down to her sew
ing or other work, as the case may be-.
A sewing machine is brought into requi-
sition, and one of the number appointed to
use it. WEE
Most Of the women spin and make their
own clothing, doing their own coloring.-
They are quite proud Of the quantity of cloth
manufactured in their establishment every
year. All work hard, and take but very
little out of door exercise. Parties and the
theatre are the favorite amusements. At
the theatre, Brigham and one or two Of the
favorite wives sit together in the " Kings
box" but the remainder Of the women and
children sit in what is called F." Brighams
corral" This is the parquette about the
centre of the area. The Prophet goes down
once or twice during the evcng to the corral,
and chats with one and another, but IN a
short time he can be seen by his So dear Anne
liza" again.
At the Mormon parties much gayety pre-
walls Appearances are maintained some
what by paying more respectful Difference to
| the first wives on such occasions. Gentlles
with whom the saints are on good terms, are
we'll received and kindly entertained at these
parties, and all join in giving themselves uE
| to the influences Of mirth and festlvity.-
| OdHClilS ID uOtOHi i'NOl1sO OH l'eoAAoA', u
is cultivated to such an extent that it becomes
passion.
Brigham's women, though better clothed
than formerly, still work very hard. They
Re infatuated with their religion, and devo-
"A to their husband. If they cannot obtair
his love they content themselves with hi
kindness, and endeayor to think themselve
happy. As religion is their only solace, the.
try to make it their only object. If it doe
not elevate their minds it deadens their sus
capabilities, and as they are not permitted t
be women, they try to convince thenselve
that it is Gods will that they should b
slaves
A music teacher, a dancing master, and
teacher of the ordinary branches of an Eng
fish education are employed in the famil,
school. Also a teacher of French. Hi
children have much better advantages thai
any other in the territory. Dancing ant
music are the leading accomplishments, ant
everything else is made subordinate to these.

An Amusing Incident.

Henry Hale, one of the best scouts in the
Federal army, left Leavenworth with dis
patches AS he rode along, men from every
direction were going to join Price. He saw
an old secessionist with shot gun, and
thought it would be nice thing to drive off
the old fellow, and take his horse into Lex
ington.
So he engaged the man in conversation,
and getting an opportunity, put his revolv-
er to the rebels head, ordered him to tie his
gun to the saddle, to dismount and finally to
skedaddle. ..
The old man made tracks rapidly, glad to
escape with his life.
Hale took the horse by the bride and rode
on whistling 'sYankee Doodle"
He had ridden but mile or two, when,
at the turn of the road, he was suddenly Or
dered to halt. u5 Isl tE
The old rebel had procured another gun
and got ahead of him. The gun was leveled
at Hale's head.
''Get off that horse" said the rebel.
Hale got down. a4rej -
..Tie that revolver to the saddle"
Hale obeyed. ea 3a-ao odG
"Pull off your pants" aal
Hale did it, 81
'Skedaddle." H
An order which Hale at once carried into
effect, merely saying: M
"Weli. Cap ! thought my shirt was
coming next. Goodbye 80.
The rebel went off with two horses whist
ling Dixie; y while Hale marched seven
miles into Lexington with only his shirt and
coat on. His coat contained his dispatches.

BUTTER MAK1NG.-A machine for making
butter. just announced among the new in
ventions in the English Patent Office, con-
sists of movable metal cylinder suspended
from a small cast-iron frame The bottom
of the cylinder is a loose piece of galvanized
iron, and above this it is perforated by a
number of small holes This cylinder is
suspended in a bowl Of water, and the cream
is placed in the cylinder and pressed by a
screw piston, the result Of which is that the
butter is forced through the holes into the
shape Of vermicelli. BY this means all the
buttermilk is excluded, and the butter is
found to be much closer and sweeter than
when made BY hand. Times

THE BATTLE FIELD.

Once on this soft turf, the rivulet's sands,
Were trampled by hurrying crowd,
And fiery hearts and armed hands,
Encountered in the battle-cloud
All never shall the land forget
How gushed the life-blood of her brave
Gush'd warm with hope and courage vet,
Upon the soil they sought to save.
Now all is calm, and fresh, and still;
Alone the chirp of the fitting bird,
And talk of children on the HILL
And bell of wandering kline are heard.
No solemn host goes trailing by
The black-mouth'd gun and staggering vain
Men start not at the battle-cry;
Oh be it never heard again.
Soon rested those who fought; but thou
Who minglest in the harder strife
Fer truths which men receive not now,
Thy warfare only ends with life.
A friendless warfare lingering long; i.
Through weary day and weary year,
A wild and many weapon throng
Hang on the front, and flank and rear,
Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof,
| And blench not at thy chosen lot;
The timid good may stand aloof, i
The sage may frown-but faint thou not.
Nor heed the shaft too surely cast, .T-
The Kissing, singing bolt of scorn;
For with thy side shall dwell at last
The victory Of endurance born.
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again,
The eternal years Of God are hers
But error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshippers. ~4
Yea, though thou lie among the dust, p
When they who helped thee flee in fear,
Die full of hope and manly trust,
Like those who fell in battle here.
Another hand thy sword shall wie,d,
Another hand the standard wave,
Till from the trumpet's mouth is pealed
The blast Of triumph Ger thy grave.
