A arr.x oux cAsR1Aer, invented at

A STEAM GUN CARRIAGE, invented at
St. Louis and built at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, has beentested on the Hudson
river, in tho presence Of Admiral Fsrra-
gut and various army and navy officers.
The carriage, when tested, bore 9 To-
inch gun, and is in appearance similar
to that now in use. Under it are the
gun slides, and between and attached is
a steam cylinder by a simple fastening
of cross head and piston rod to the car
riage. Tho latter, with tho gun, can,
by the application of steam to the pis-
ton, be removed in either direction with
essS- and rapidly; that is, the gun is
run tut by steam, then fred and recoil'
on the same pressure. One man only
is required to work it. It is also loaded
by steam in q rapid and simple manner.
On tho trial, solid shots were fired with
charges offrom thirty-ive to Fifty pounds
of powder, to the entire satisfaction Of
the Admiral and other officers. This
carriage is intended for brosdside and
was mounted on s.large scow to test it.
To work q l5-inch gun in casemate in
tho ordinary way would require forty
men. By this plan four men only arc
needed, besides the time required to
discharge each shot 10 lsssened At least
one half.

ENCOUNTER BETWEEN AN ELEPHANT
AND A RIA very extraordinary en-
counter between q rat and an elephant
has recently taken place in the Garden
of Plants, London, which was witnessed
with interest by hundreds Of persons.
The keepers were engaged in destroying
q great number of rats, when n OF
them escaped, and ran to the spot al
lotted to the elephant. Seeing no other
refuge, in the ~twinkling of an eye the
rat snugly ensconsed himself in the
trunk Of the elephant, very much to the
elephants dissatisfaction. He stamped
his foot and twisted his trunk around
like the sail Of a windmill. After these
evolutions he stood suddenly still, evil
IDENTIFY rejecting on what was bestt o do.
He ran to the trough where he is accus-
toned to drink, and plunged his trunk
into the water, then returned to his den,
and raising his trunk, with tho water he
absorbed, he dashed out the unfortunate
rat, which was in q sheet of water like
that issuing from q fire engine. When
the rat fell to the ground the elephant
seized him and made him undergo the
immersion and projection four times.
At the fourth throw it fell dead. The
elephant, with a majcstic air, but cool
and placid, crushed, his annoying little
enemy with his foot, and then went
round to the spectators TO make his
usual collection Of cakes, sugar and
oth.r da;ntiea Tho feat WAS received
with vociferous applause, which the ele-
plant seemed fully to understand and
appreciate.

CHINESE JUaaLERs.-Ibn Batuta, an
Arabian traveller, who spent the thirty
Q q between 1925 and 1855 in wander
ings in the East, relates that one night
he fell in with a Chinese juggler. "He
took q wooden ball with several holes
in it, through which long thongs were
passed, and laying hold of one Of these
slung it into the air. 1t went so high
that we lost sight Of it altogether, There
now remained only q little Of the end Of
a thong in the conjurer's hand, and he
desired n of the boys who assisted
him, to lay hold of 1t and mount. He
did 50, climbing by the thong and we
lost sight of him also. The conjurer
then called to him three times, but get
ting no answer, he snatched up a knife
as If in o great rage, laid hold of the
thong and disappeared also. By and
by he threw down one Of the boys
hands, then a foot, then he came down
himself, and all putting and painting,
and with his clothes all bloody; but
presently he took the lads limbs, laid
them together in their places, and gave
a kick, when prestoL there was the boy,
who got up and stood before US. All
this, adds the veracious traveller, Gas
tonished me beyond measure, and I had
an attack Of palpitation like that which
overcame m once before in tho pres
ence Of the Sultan Of india, whom he
showed me something Of the same kind"

fnLENESa.

Sympathy, both public and private, is
always strongly felt and expressed for
those industrious operatives who, from
unlooked-for causes, such as the clos
ing Of a mill or q mine, are thrown
out of employment and reduced, ior q
while at least, to enforced idleness. we
feel doubly for their loss of situation
first, because they are cut of from the
means of supporting themselves and
families /; and secondly, because having
then nothing to do, they are in danger
Of acquiring injurious habits which are
30 commonly the effects of idleness, ana
which would sadly interfere with their
ability and readiness to resume work
when it is offered to them. These peo-
pie represent the class of compulsory
idlers who are entitled to sympathy n
aid in all practicable ways. But the
case is far different with voluntary
idlers, who do their best to reduce life
to a blank, and themselves to insignif-
canoe and contempt.
Idleness is the nurse Of all the vices.
It moves so slowly that they all over
take it. The Germans and the Italians
say, proverbially, that "idleness is the
DEVILS pillow" Some affect to excuse
this hydra-headed habit by asking what
harm a a person do when he does
nothing? The reply is ready and plain.
He who is passive in allowing decay is
himself a destroyer. While standing
still and refusing to help he obstructs
the progress of others. We are told in
Holy Writ: "By much slothfulness the
building ~decayeth, and through idleness
of the hands the house droppeth
through" And again it is said: 81
went to the field of the slothful and by
the vineyard of the man void of under
standing, and 10 it was all ovcrgrown
with thorns, and nettles had covered the
face thereof, and the stone wall thereof
was broken down." The words Of Cato,
the elder, are in the proverb, ''that one
who does nothing learns to do evil
Idleness has been well described to be a
moral leprosy, which soon eats its way
into tho heart and corrodes our happi-
ness, while it undermines our health.
Idleness is costly without being a luxury.
Montague always wound up the years
account of his expenses with the fol-
lowing entry: "Item-for my abomin-
able habit of idleness, a thousand
livres." We toll for leisure only to dis
cover when we have succeeded in our
object, that leisure is great evil. How
quickly would the working classes be
reconciled to what they may call the
hardships of compulsory occupation, if
they were doomed only for II short time
to the greater hardship of compulsory
idleness. They would quickly lind that
il is much better to wear out than to
rust out. The idle man is at the mercy
Of all the vices. The working man, on
the contrary, finds u safeguard in his
occupation, which leaves no time for
temptations nor desire to yield to them.
1t was we'll said, by the oldest of the
Greek poets, that the laborer is the SEN

THE advocates of female suffrage have

TIE advocates Of female suffrage have
recently been reinforced by Mr.. John
Stuart Mill, who has become q strenu-
Gus supporter Of the extension Of the
right Of voting in England to women,
and upon that subject writes to q Re-
form meeting at York: 81 hope you will
permit me to observe that the principle
that it is unjust that the great bulk of
the nation should be held amenable to
laws in the making of which they have
had no voice, cannot stop at 'residen-
tial manhood suffrage; but requires
that the suffrage be extended to women
also. 1 earnestly hope that the working
men Of England will show the sincerity
of their principles BY being willing to
carry them out when urged in favor OF
Others besides themselves"

JoLLY.-An English paper calls atten-
ton to the fact that the slang sense in
which the word "jolly"i IS often used is,
after all, not slang. In "John Traps
Commentary on the Old and New Tesla
msnts," published in London two hun
dred years ago, is to be read: All was
jolly quiet at ,Ephesus before 81. Paul
came thither." A century earlier, says
a writer in Notes and Queries, the word
is thus used by North, In his transla-
ton of Plutarch's Lives: at (the wind
which some call c~scias) blowsth . ]oly
cool wind" So, without knowing IL,
our fast young men use this convenient
word In It's most classical sense.

the starving people of the South:
NEW YORK, April 18th.
Southern Famine Relief Committee, ~.
No. 81, Broadpay, NeO York,
April 10, 1867.
The famine in the South is severe and
increasing; the means given by Congress
for relief through the Freedmen's
Bureau are very inadequate, and unless
generous contributions are made by
the public, the loss Of life must be ap-
palling.
Signed-Archibald Russell, President;
Edward Bright, Corresponding Secre-
tary; Fred. Law Olmstead, Recording
Secretary; James A. Brown, Treasurer;
John Bowen, General Agent.
There is no doubt of the truth of the
above statement. We earnestly hope
that generous contributions will be
promptly made to this Commission in
the far West.
Signed-Hon. John Conness, U. 8.
Senator from California; Hon. VIM. NJ.
Stewart and Hon. James W. Nye, o. 8.

We believe that liberal contributions

relieve great suffering, and would have
a most happy influence on the prosperity
Of the nation.

"The Tent on the Beach |" is the title
of q new poem by Whittier, Of which
copies are for sale by H. G. Lille l. Co.,
Virginia city. 1t is published uniform
with the authors famous "Snow

as its idyl predecessor, but it viii more

ton Of the Quaker bard, as . true poet.
A"Youth's History of California"
written by Miss Lucia Norman and pub
lished BY Roman l. Co., is for sale BY
Lille Co., Virginia. 1t is q handsomely
printed IL mo. volume, Of about two
hundred pages; and is embellished with
a frontispiece engraving of "The Golden
Gate, as seen from Clay street hill, San
Francisco" This little volume would
make q most appropriate May day gift
to any Of our youth from parent or
friend. 1t is written in q plain yet at
tractive style, and the realities which
arc here described, in the form Of speed
lily constructed cities, ETC., are sober
acceptances Of Alladin dreams. To the
mature person it will prove quite as in
teresting as to the ''youth" for whom it
is specially intended. For it is a COM
pendulum of the main facts Of California
history, as set forth in detail by Tuthill
and others in. their elaborate or preten-
tious works.
The "Cabinet edition" Of Dickens
works, the issuance Of which has been
commenced by Ticknor & Fields, OF
Boston, has specimens on the counters
of our booksellers, in the form of illus
trated prints of the Incompatible "Pick-
wick Papers" and sour Mutual Friend"
The illustrations, which are profuse,
arc capital both in design and execution.
They do really aid, instead Of injuring,
the readers enjoyment of the text OF
the great novelist. They are truly and
admirably "studies." The likenesses of
Pickwick are worth the price Of the new
volume in which they are contained.
As the name of the edition would indi-
cate, the volumes are Of very convenient
size for "having EN- handy"

The PARIS ExPosIrIoS.-Nearly all the
steamship lines connecting America with
Europe have adopted special rates for
passage between the two continents
during the Paris Exposition. Thus the
Cunard line has raised its charge to
$3.50 in gold for carrying passengers to
Liverpool ; the Inmau line charges Sllo
in gold to Liverpool, or $500 in gold
from New York to Paris and return
French line, $3.50 in gold to Paris, and
the Great Eastern $3.50 in gold to Paris,
Tho Great Eastern arrived at New
York about April 9th, and expects &c
take 5000 passengers back to Europe,
1t is thought that the Exhibition and its
surroundings will not be complete be,
fore the LIST Of May, so that visitors need
be in no hurry to experience the high
price Of living in Paris.

BULLY FOR Us.-There are memorn-
BILE instances of c~omplacency on record.

ing Report will be found to contain o
a large amount Of valuable information
relative to the mining interests of our
State, much more, I believe, than has
ever been put together in a collective
form at any previous time" This is
paralleled by q famous parsonage in
Gothe's Faust, who says wittily, at is
clear that, if a god labors six days and
in the end exclaims "BravoP' to his
work, something smart has been achiey-
ed" Or, perhaps, NOR happily by the
heroic nursery tale:
Little John Horner,
Sat IN tho corner
Eating a piece Of Christmas pie;
He stuck In his thumb
And pulled out O plum,
Saying. What . bravo boy am H."
This contains more complacency, VIC be-
lieve, ethan has eve been put together
in a collective form at any previous
time. "-Reese River Reveille.
