Iron Fortifcations and Great Guns.


A letter from Berhn says: ssThe success
which attended the experiments of last SUM
mer has induced the Prussian government to
employ large blocks of hard cast metal for the
purposes of fertilization. a foundry has been
established with this object on the artillery
experimental ground, by which arrangement
it is not necessary to move its ponderous
productions any very great distance, whenever
it is thought advisable to give Mr.. Krupp an
opportunity of knocking them to pieces, or
endeavoring to do SO. A colossal casting,
weighing ninety tons, was made there last
Friday, in the presence of the Minister of
War and numerous military and naval officers,
and is unquestiouably by far the greatest that
has ever been attempted on the Continent
What is considered still more remarkable than
the size of this casting was the very short
time required for the process. The metal
was melted in three large furnaces in the
short space of three hours, but the actual
casting was completed in forty five seconds.
''The report adds, by way of comparison,
that the casting of steam hammer weighing
one hundred tons required in England forty
eight hours.
A hydraulic crane is used for moving these
large masses, and does its work so easily that
shield weighing forty tons has been moved
several hundred yards and placed on the
framework intended to receive it in half an
hour. The plates are not fastened together
By bolts screws, but cast in such a shape
as to dovetail into each other. 1t is intended
to employ combination of iron, eurthwork
and masonry in the new forts, and to adopt
the improved methods in the coast defences
first. as they are exposed to the heaviest fire.
"The Woolwich gun, which has been
competing at Bealin with Dir. Krupp's, has
shown deep crack after the two hundred
and sixty fourth round, whereas Krupp's gun
has remained unscathed after four hundred
rounds, aud his friends are of course jubilant.
On the other hand, an English seven-inch
plate, three inches of steel on four inches of
iron, FROM the Cyclops Works, Sheffield, was
too much for Krupp's ninaty.six FOUNDER, at
least only the point of the shot came through.
1t has been stated since that only reduced
charge of powder was used on this occasion.
The same projectile, however, and with
similar charge, had knocked an elght-inch
plate of Austrian manufacture all to pieces.
Both Krupp and BorsiS have offered to estab
lish works for rolling plates in Prussia"

a Heavy Sugar Crop in Louisiana.

The damage to the sugar crop in Louis
lana, though quite serious in some sections,
has rot been SO disastrous as at first reported.
The crop is now set down at 10000 hogs
heads, which is Il vast increase over last year
A correspondent Of the New Orleans Plea,
yunc, writing from the Parish of Plaquemines,
one of the best sugar parishes of the State,
says that from every locality wherein the SUI
gar cane is cultivated on this coast, the yield
both in quantity and quality promises to be
a fit ending to glorious spring, summer and
autumn. The atmospheric conditions of the
last few days have checked vegetation and
are fastening maturation. Last year grind
ing commenced here On the 10Th of Novem-
Der; the probability is that some of our mills
will this season be in full operation before
the end of the month The first lot Of sugar
Of last years growth, manufactured in this
parish, reached New Orleans on the 4th of
Novem Der in 1866 on the 9Th of Novcm-
Der; in 1865, on the 10th Of November; in
1864, on the 22d of November, and in 1868
On the 18th of November. Last year the win
ter was so unusually mild that sugar cane
bloomcd in some of our more favorable local.
tiles, which had not occurred here since 1852.

Quinine.

Qun:ne is produced from the forest tree
in South America, known as the chinchona,
of which there varieties, but the Chin
chona cansava and chinchona rubra yield the
medicine in greatest abundance. So great has
been the demand that in most of the districts
whence it has been obtained, the supplies are
gradually diminishing and as no substitute
Of equal value is likely to be found, it is of
the utmost importance that new sources shall
be discovered. In Jamaica the chinchona ru-
bra has been cultivated sufficiently to show
that it will grow we'll on that island, and the
government is urged to encourage and assist in
its cultivation on an extended scale. 1t seems,
however, that only on mountains from 1900
to 1000 feet high, where the forests are often
believed with mist, does this tree arrive to
perfection that will make its cultivation prof
table; but there are several sections on
the island which will answer the requirements.
Besides, there are others in this quarter of
the world where similar conditions prevail,
and if due efforts are made the worlds supply
of quinine may continue unexhausted.

CoNTENrMENr.-There are hundred sue
cessful men where there is one contented
man. 1 can find score of handsome faces
where can find one happy face-happy in
all weathers, and radiant with the suu6h inc
of the heart can even find score of works
ing, Jealous Christians where can encounter
a single Christian who, under the DER brood
ing love of God sits as a robin does on its
bough, singing and swinging, without one
trouble in its heart, or one discord in its min
strelsy. A downright contented Christian
is rare, and all the more attractive for his rar
ity. What did Paul mean when he said, 81
have learned in whatsoever state am, there
with to be contented 2'' lie meant that he was
perfectly willing to be just where God placed
him, and to do just what God told him. and
to suffer just what God laid on him, and to
work out, through manifold pains and persecu-
lions, his mighty mission TO his race. He
knew how to be abased and how to abound
how to be full and how to be hungry. He
was not content without work, but content
with his work

LOVING AND HATING.-If you love, love
more. If you hate, hate less. Life is too
short to spend in hating any one. Why war
against mortal who is going the same road
with US? Why not expand the flower of life
and happiness by learning to love, by teoch-
ing those who are near aud dear the beautiful
lesson? Your hands may be hard, but your
heart need not be. Your form may be bent
or ugly, but do you not know that the most
beautiful flowers grow in the most rugged,
unsheltered places? The palace for care, the
cottage for love. Not that there is no love
in the mansion but somehow, if we arc not
very careful, business will crowd all there is
OF beauty out of the heart. Thisis why God has
given US the Sabbaths and Saturday nights,
that we may leave business in the Office and
have eart-cleaning.

Gen. MooDY's CURE FOR HoARsENEss-
The General had been speaking a great deal,
and became SO hoarse that he could scarcely
speak above whisper. 1.-The thought struck
him. he said, THAT coal oil npplicd externally,
would be good for him" lie accordingly
procured some refined coal oil, and, lying
down and making bare his throat, requested
a friend to apply it vigorously with his hand.
lie did so and the hoarseness left him im-
mediately. This being so remarkable a cure,
and the knowledge being of SO much i'm
portance to those like himself, who are engaged
in public speaking, the General is anxious
that all should know and receive its benefits
when afflicted in a similar manner.

There's neat little cot in the mountains
That border my own native State.
p There the waters gush pure from the fountains,
And glad smiles the weary await.
IT'S the long CHERISHED home of my childhood,
The scene of enjoyrhents that were;
And Ilnve the dark cliffs and the wildwood,
For my hearts dearest treasures arc there.
To the wand'rer, heart stricken and weary,
Whose birth-right is Liherty's smile,
There's magic in home-howe'eT dreary,

Though wild blows the keen mountain air,
Still my heart for that homestead Is swelling,
For Its hottest treasures there.

LITTLE TnINGs.-Spripgs are little things,
but they are scources of large streams; a helm
is a little thing, but it governs the course of
a ship; a bridIe-bit is little thing, but see
its use and powers nails and pegs are little
things, but they hold the parts of large
building together; word, look, a smile, a
frown, are all little things. but powerful for
good or evil. Think of this, and mind the
little things. Pay that little debt if it is a
promise redeem it if it is shilling hand it
over You krow not what important events
hang upon it. Keep your word sacred-keep
it to children they will mark it sooner than
any one else, and the effect will probably be
as lasting as life. Mind the little things.

KINDRED HEARTS.

o, ask not. hope thou not too much,
OF sympathy below!
Few are the hearts whence one same touch,
Bids the sweet fountains flow
Few, and by still conflicting powers
Forbidden here to meet;
Such ties would make this world of ours
TO fair for aught SO fleet.
But far those bonds all perfect made,
Wherein bright spirits blend,
Like sister flowers of one sweet shade,
With the same breeze and bend
For that full bliss of thought allied
Never to mortals given,
o, lay thy,loveIy dreams aside,
Or lit Ihcm up TO Heaven.

j Deaths that occur from an unknown
cause are generally ascribed to disease of the
heart a committee Of physicians at Stras-
burg, Germany, lately made postmortem ex-
aminations of sixty six persons who had died
suddenly, and they found that but two of
those deaths were caused by disease of the
heart, while nine resulted from apoplexy, and
forty>six from Congestion of the lungs Cold
feet, tight clothing, costiveness and sudden
chill, are mentioned as frequent causes ofsuch
congestion.
