SHOOTING GEESE WITH A CANNON. Some
Cincinnati sportsman of the "pot,hunter
species, as nc boldly proclaims himself, has
been on a hunting excursion in Edgar co., in q
Western State. In a well written letter to the
Cincinnati Enquirer, detailing his exploits, he
thus relates an attempt at shooting geese wit h
cannon that happened several years since 10
Edgar, which is worth reading
Speaking OF geese reminds Inc OF an in-
c,dcut in the history Of this county which
occurred within my own knowledge, when
was boy, several years ago Colonel Tom
Smith, Of Grandview, had q caunou-au old
brass slx-pOunder, belonging to the State, but
OF which he had somehow or other obtained
the custody. Colonel Tom was the hero OF the
Black Hawk war, and retained sort Of fierce
regimentalS, which he wore on Fourth of July
occasions, and with an improvised gun-squad,
made up OF Grandview boys, fired salutes with
the six FOUNDER. Grandview was little town
consisting OF 4 tavern, dry goods store. gro
Gerry, school house, and blacksmith shop
The country was then new, and the prairie
~warmed with game. Close to the town was
a large pond, which geese aud ducks frequent.
ed in myriads Some of tho young men about
town conceived the brilliant idea of loading
Colonel Smiths cannon and killing geese
with it.
They accordingly moulded about ten. nonnds
IT rifle bullets, and crammed them into the
ueld piece on top OF a generous charge OF pow
der, They built shed near the pond, placed
the cannon under it, pointed it, and waited Tor
geese. For several days the geese came IN
and ashed the waters OF the pond into foam
with their cavOrtings, but not in sufficient
numbers to Justify a shot Finally a cold snap
brought the geese in from the North in great
numbers, and early one morning the pond was
reported black with them. The stockholders
10 the enterprise went out and took look at
the pond, and decided that it would be good
time to realize on the investment SO one OF
their number was deputized to sneak up to the
gun and touch her off. Geese were not so
wild then as now, and no difficulty was expert
enced 10 approaching the gun.
La the mean time the other members OF the
goose company amused themselves with spec
ulatiOns az to the probable number that would
be killed Nobody guessed less than 100,
while one SanGllne spectator insisted on 100.
The painful suspense was finally ended by
puff of smoke and tremendous report. The
AIR was full of flying geese, and the stockhold-
urs rushed up to take account OF stock and de-
clare dividend. To their great disgust not
single dead goose was found on the pond. The
gun had not been properly pointed, and the
charge had passed entirely over the pond, tear
.ng down several panels OF fence and killing
colt and cali in corn field on the other side.
The goose company went into ban kruptcy, ow-
inp heavily for powder and shot, and, so TAR as
know, no second attempt at tie wholesale
Slaughter of geese was ever made In Edgar

The New Fra and Observation-Disclosures
RecOnstpu ctiou.

All our latest news from Europe tends TO
encourage the belief that France is on the eve
of crisis, and that Napoleonism really is in
danger. The Emperor is pleased to inform ,,s
that the policy of the government is suli-
ciently clear TO prevent equvOcal interpreta-
tion, and that elections will continue as before
TO perform the task OF ''reconciIing strong
power with sincerely liberal institutions" This
is very well but it leaves IL doubtful whether
the liberal institutions are likely to be found
compatible with the continuance of the one man
power. Ii is not TO be denied that the second
elections, the results Of which are now known
to us, have somewhat modified the severity of
the situation. The second elections have, on
the whole, been in favor OF the moderate
rather than OF the extreme meu. II cannot
be said, however, that the men who have
come in victorious on this second test of The
sentiment of France make Napoleons position
more secure than il seemed when the first
elections were alone known 10 ns The liberals
had counted on some ninety members in the
new Chambers. IL now appears that the
liberals will not exceed eighty. The imperial
ist journal, Poys, admits seventy-uine. On q
test division the government will thus be able
TO count on a majority Of one hundred aud
twelve. In the Chambers, therefore, the
triumph of the opposition is not quite 80 great
as il was believed il would be- But the nil
nority, as we have explained 10 our readers
on more than one occasion already,

been under the empire, and in public estima-
ton the majority which the government can
still count upon in the Chambers is more than
counterbalanced by the enormous losses which
the government has sustained in the Electorate.
The empire began with a majority of seven
millions OF votes ii has now barely eight hun
dred thousand more than the opposition aud
when the government machinery for collecting
and securing votes is taken into account the
eight hundred thousand may be taken at
discount.
In the new Chambers such names as Theirs,
Favre, GARNER Pages, Pellatan, Picard, Gam
beta, Raspai and Ferry will be found and
1t is difficult 10 see how such men az NJ. Rouher.
Marshal Mel, Clement Duvernois and some
others can overcome their fierce, scathino
criticisms or play of their sarcasm and their
ridicule. The debates in the Chambers are
certain to be more lively than ever, and we
ii1ay safely take il for granted that in spite Of
prosecutions the debates will be echoed In the
lively criticisms Of the press BY reforms and
by war Napoleon may do much to postpone The
evil day; but unless we greatly mistake he
cannot eaectually stem the tide which, IN our
judgment, has set iu against him and against
his dynasty.
The truth is France Is ripe for another

Politics are getting rather mixed in Missouri.
The radicals there, at any rate, are In sad
muddle--one faction, with Carl Schurz at their
head, going in for the simultaneous enfran-
chisement OF negroes and white rebels, and
another, headed by Senator Drake, declaring
that the case Of the negro must be settled first,
and ''precede any consideration Of the eufran-
chisement of rebels" This is practically put
ting the negro first and the white man after

mined for some time, as there Is no election

RoBBgRY. The maxim of war that the re-

possible must be equally true in the art Of
thievery. No vault can be made that is i'm
pregnable, no lock can be contrived by human
ingenuity that will be superior to human inge-
nuity, and no system Of watching can at last
make property safe against the patience aud
acuteness Of men who give good faculties to
the left-handed science OF stealing. II iron
and bolts and bars can make anything safe

the yachts Rambler and Magic cannot fail to
attract attention, as both vessels are we'll
known for their speed. The confidence In the
ability of his boat to beat her antagonist ex-
hibted by Mr.. Banker, in betting one thousand
dollars on her against five hundred dollars
staked on the Magic, promises well for the
race, which will take place ON the 10th prox.
The Rambler Is one OF the swiftest yachts in
the New York Yacht Club, and has won repr-
tation in more than one trial of speed. All
things considered, we shall expect, wind and

Of races next month.
