Gun CoTToN AGAIN. Some recent ex-
periments made at the Wolwich Arsenal,
near London, encourage the hope that gun
cotton can be successfully used as n most
destructive agent. A palisndo was built OF
oak timbers n foot thick, firmly fixed in the
ground and supported in the rear by strong
%trusses. Discs of gun-cotton> were placed
along the face of the palisade about a foot
above the ground, and were fired by q bat
terry in the usual way. The effect may be
described az wonderful. The palisado was
literally blown away amid a deafening re-
port, as If the massive timbers offered no
more resistance on n side of the gun-cot-
ton than the atmosphere on the other. The
discs require no fixing; merely laying them
on il sufficient. Solid blocks of iron and
stone can be shiyered into fragments by
firing n disc laid ON the top. In future
sieges, if some desperate fellow can but
get to the gate or q thin part Of the walls,
and hang or n few discs of gun cotton, a
breach can be made by firing with ngalvnnic
current from n long distance.

was once counting a lady in Georgia or Car

he as often renewed his suit. AZ one inter
view she became extremely annoyed at his
importantly, and told him that she could
not marry him; that their tastes, opinions,
likes and dislikes were totally different.
'1n fact, said she, "Mr. Bacon, L don't
think there is one subject ON earth upon
which we agree"
81 assure you, madam, that you are mis-.
taken,' said Mr.. Bacon, "and 1 can prove
IT,"
'If you will mention one thing about
which we agree" said she, T will marry
you"
'Well, " said Mr.. Bacon, 81 will do It.
Suppose, now, you and | wcro travelling to-

"She rose Indignantly, and replied,
