4 New Proiectile.

A novelty in the shape of a projectile
was tried at Fortress Monroe last week,
which promises q range often miles,
1t is a cannon shot containing another
shot. During the flight shot number one
lets Il Z shot number twO, which keeps
on as if discharged from cannon. The
experiment was pronounced successful
The, inner cavity Or,bore was three and
a half inches; and extended some eight
inches. Into this cavity was placed
half pound of powder; seme tow was
then inserted, and then a twelve and a
half pound shot. The nozzle is stopped
up by brass plug in two pieces. The
double shot is then placed in cannon
and discharged. The fuses are from five
to ten seconds At the end of that time
the fuse ignites the powder and dis
charges the .tweive-poundl shots The
explosion does not burst the shot but
drives cut the plug, as there is no yacu-
um between the shot and the nozzle
The principle on which the improve
ment is made is sregarded as a good one.
Our fifteen-inch guns throw solid shot
at least five miles; load one of these guns
with double shotted projectile, with a
fuse arranged to discharge the small
shot when the cannon bali has reached
ltS nISHeSG eieNalioh. n hibeeH incH
shot would tax "a twenty or twenty-four
pound shot without danger of bursting,
and it is claimed that it would go further
from this elevation thanlit wauld from
the ground. The largeushot would of
course be fired at an object, while the
small one would be sent ON to do what
execution it could. and in firing at q
line of-troops would be very effective
The small slrot is made with sabOt for
rifle il the large shot, and is large
enough to fill up the space betweemfhe
powder and the plus, which is screwed
in, but only just enough tokeep it from
being shaken out.a |ow. I l-at -lb

The Rc.districting of Ohio.


Judge Winans, of Ohio has introduc-
ell a bill in the House of Representa-
tives to divide the State of Ohio into
three Judicial District-No Northern, Mid

be composed of the counties north OF a
line from Preb lie TO Monroe, aud south of
the Northern District; all the counties
south of line from Monroe to Preble,

While it is desirable that Ohio should
be divided into three Judicial Districts,
The bill of Judge Winahs does not grant
the relief TO South Easter IN Ohio that is
needed, and shonld be granted, when

The biography of any man who has
won. eminent success, ne: matter what
ever department of life, cannot fail to
be generally interesting Success is
after all the chief criterion of greatness"
among men, be it victory, in the domain
of letters, in the stock-market, in the
field of grim-visaged war, - or in the
most humble aVoeations Of life But the
biography of such a man as Barnum,
who has won victories upon varied
fields, and over almost insurmountable
obstacles, conqaering to himself fame
and fortune where most men would
only have suecumbed in defeat, and
covered themselves with obloqlyeis a
work of no less than exciting interest.
In its varied inirrorings of human life,
every reader will find something of per-
sonal interest to himself, reminding him
of like trials, thoughts and emotions.
The reader enters therefore into in
stinctive sympathy with the Incidents
and thoughts of this recital of Barnum,
which must be d" the secret" of the sue
cess which attends the sale of the w0ck;
for he who reads it voluntarily com
mends it to others. Barnum's styleais
racy. He knows how to "point peri
cd, u and tells story inimitably. The
lovers Of fun will be delighted by the
Iaccessions which this work brings to
their stock of humor; and they who
care Only for facts and practical good
sense, will be equally grateful, to Bar
mum for. his autobiography. The book
cannot but win. for its. author a new
fame. - - ..-,.-. -
BarnuIn. has herein. given US his
famous lecture on the }" Art of NJ 1ney-
Getting" revised, too, since its delivery,
and full of important suggestions to bus
mess men.
Knowing allsorts of (" mortal men and
women, and having had worldwide
experience as a traveller, with access to
everv grade of society from that of the
humble cottage up to that of the palace,
Barnum's genius for observation has en-
Ijoyed rich field, and we'll has he i'm
tproved it; and in his book he. presents
us with the, valuable results thereof.
Whoever opens the book to read will not
readily put it by till he has devoured its
