the barrel slides back far
enough to admit the cartridge
to be placed in the cavity Of
the barrel, which is done by
the gunner, with his lett hand,
without removing the piece
from his shoulder,or necessarily
losing his aim. Another move

the top of the barrel to its

Behind the cartridge, as it lies
when the gun is loaded, is the

Democratic Papers Against
Prussia.

The bitterness against Prus.
sia exhibited by many of the
leading Democratic papers ol
this country is said to be car
rying the German democrats
over to the Republican party
in great numbers. We quote
from the Chicago Times, the
leading Democratic organ Of
the Northwest. l..,
"It may be added that these
German meetings to express
sympathy with the Prussians
are exhibitions of very cheap
patriotism--worthy, however,
of the descendants of the hire
ling Hessians who fought
against American Indepen'
dence in 1776."

TREES AND SHRUBS OF OHIO.
BY REV. c. II. WARREN.

RED MULBERRY.-l M0rhs 1iuo'u'J
In the New England States
this tree is rarely met with, ,bu'
it is quite abundant in the Mid
die and Western States, where
IN favorable locations it forms
a tolerably large, widespread
ing, horizontally branched, ell
egant tree. The leaves are
very large, cordate, hairy be"
meath, and scabrOus above,
giving the tree a bold and
strong appearance. OatkinS
cylindrical. The fruit is a deep
purple, being very sweet and
delicious, ripening late in
May or early In June. The
Red Mulberry sometimes at
tains the height forty or even
fifty feet, it is almost always
found growing in deep, rich
mellow soil. The wood is of
the very first quality when
fully seasoned, assuming a dull
lemon colored hue, and is near
ly, if not quite, equal to that
of the Locust or Live Oak for
all purposes, it Is not only dur
able but exceedingly beautiful.
In some of the Eastern cities
its timber commands a high
price, tor the framework,
knees, floor-tlmbers, and tree
nails OF vessels. The Mulberry
is certainly worthy OF a place
among the ornamental trees of
our forest. The large heart.
shaped leaves; which thickly
clothe the out-spreadlng
branches, creating a deep shade,
will not fail to recommend it
to those who are employing
trees to adorn their pleasure
grounds. 1t is worthy Of ex-
tensive cultivation for the
pleasantly favored fruit which
annually loads its branches.
The male and female trees may
be quite easily distinguished
from each other; the foliage of
the female is much larger, and
of a darker green; the flowers
in the male are in loose spikes
without q corrolla; in the fe-
male flowers the spikes are
dense. In the young trees the
leaves are deeply locked. The
roots are very yellow. No ex-
tensive experiments, so far as
my knowledge extends, have
been made to cultivate this
handsome tree for its fine fruit
and excellent timber, but Ger.
tainly it can be fully recon.
mended to the particular at
tention of those who possess
facilities for plantations OF this
kind. There are early associ>
ations clustering around this
tree which perhaps gather
around no other one. Who
does not recollect the large
spreading Mulberry in the days
of boyhood, standing perhaps
near the murmuring brook,
with its dark, sweet fruit, and
pretty leaves2
