On the night of the 18th inst, baby
of the feminine gender, about six weeks
old, was found on the front door step of
the glass warehouse of Messrs. VIM.
Frank & Son, Pittsburg The little
founding was conveyed to the house Of
q neighbor, until permanent provision
could be made for it. The affair was
soon noised about, and the child became
an object Of great curiosity. It was
very beautiful, and the habilinents in
which it had been thus rudely presented
to the public were Of very fine quality,
suggesting an aristocratic origin for the
infant. Rich and poor, old and young,
male and female, married and single
people, all became interested in the lit
tie wait, and all were eager to adopt it.
No one asked "Who was her father ?
Who was, her mother p but all were
anxious to take tho position of father or
mother. The interest being so great, it
was finally determined by the temporary
to put the little one up at
auction. and sell her to the highest bid
der. This plan viii be acted upon, and
the terms are cas- h-the money to be a
bonus for her benefit, to be placed in
the bank at compound interest, and to
be drawn when The girl arrives at the |
age Of eighteen years. An interesting
time was anticipated at the sale, and
The beautiful foundling will doubtless
bring fabulous price.-Exchange.

The Fourteen Mile Gun.

The tOurteen Mile 6un.
The New York Democrat says of the
l4-mile Iowa gun ut will revolution
izc the art of war. 1t is said that pract-
ical men of theIWar Department have
become satisfied as to its merits. The
principle of thiSinvention is that series
OF these projectles are meshed one with
another, like a sest of boxes, each at
tached to the other by fuse connected
with charge Of powder. At a given
distance from ths gun the first charge
explodes, giving new impetus to the
projecti!e, then the second, and third,
and so on to the last, the last projectile
receiving the forte of the charge until
it has over-reachsd the distance in which
that of cannon balls are usually spent"
The N. Y. Democrat exhibits profound
Ignorance of the Law Of projectiles, as
the inventor does. if the nature Of this
projectile is correctly described. Even
if it could accomplish all claimed for it,
the invention would be OF no practical
utility. It would make ''good shot"
to come within sew eral miles of the sup
posed location of the fourteen-mile OBJ
.ect. The base Of each projectile in
the air, to give it tie forward propulsion,
is the air itself IF the base. is in the
