A WONDERFUL INVENTION Mr..
JAS. W. lleadrick has invented and
applied for patent, a gun which is
certainly a wonderful piece ofmechan-
ism. 1t has six barrels, and is fired
by simply turning crank. We wit
messed the firing of the gun and timed
it, and wonderful to say, 1t fired four
hundred times in one minute. There
is a chamber above the barrels which
is filled with water, which prevents
them from becoming heated, another
chamber below which receives the
empty cartridges. 1t is certainly very
simple and no possibility Of getting
out of order. WyheUjlie Dispdtch.

said that King William would leave for
Germany If he could, but that sufli-
GENTLY large and safe escort cannot be
spared for the purpose. Gen. Won
Moltke Is reported as very anxious on
account of the daily expected simulta-
neous attack i'm front by General Tro-
chu, from Paris, and General dc Pala-
dimes from Orleans. The francs-tireurs
are infesting the whole neighhorhood
Of Paris. and in fact are surrounding
more and more all the German
armies now i'm France. The whole
country is literally armed, and
Death TO the invader is their battle
cry. In the east the Germans have not
been able to advance beyond Dole-a
town which they reached several
weeks ago. In the north they have
been obliged to retreat i'm every direc-
ton in the west they have had to give
up the City of Chartres. A great bat
tie near the town OF Toury is daily ex-
peeted. The French army of the Loire
is more than 10000 strong. General
Won der Tam has only $4,000, i'm
cluding the Duke OF Mecklenburg's
forces, and the Prussian cavalry under
Prince Albrecht, of Prussia. Prince
Frederick Charles is marching south i'm
forced marches with about 100, 600 men.
1t is, however, more than likely that he
will be too late. The greatest entbusi-
asm and activity prevails all through
France and the exertions of the Ger
mans to hold their own are SURPRISING
everything accomplished by them up
to now. Immense siege trains are
moving forward to Paris, and the north
and northeast of France are stripped
of every man that can be spared for
Paris and Versailles. The war has en-
tered into a now and striking phase,
and everything promises complete
turning of tables.

TRAVIS OF TENNESSEE.

[From the Nashville Banner.l

A negro desperate named Louis
Travis, who murdered in cold blood, in
Spaulding County, Ga, month ago,
a DR.. Butler, wife and child, colored
woman, and two other persons, arrived
in this city on the negro excursion
train from Atlanta last Nav, and
until yesterday had been ENJOYING n
fancied security from that retributive
justice from which he had fled. W.S
Brown, Sheriff of the county in which
the murders were committed, having
heard that the bloodthirsty scound. rel
was lounging about this city. arrived
here yesterday i'm quest of him. Sher-
if Brown being known to Travis, dep
utised Capt. Skiles, officer at Chatta-
nooga depot TO make the arrest. At
$3.50 o'clock in the afternoon Captain
Skiles discovered Travis on Church
street, opposite the old Academy build
ing, looking intently at flying jen-
ny, in an open space on the south side
CT that thoroughfare Having already
been informed of TraVis's desperate
deeds, Capt. Skiles took every precau-
ton not TO allow the rascal to get the
advantage of him, and not to arouse
any suspicion Ia Ynvis's mind until
he should get near enough TO lay hold
of him. Captain SkiIes accordingly
walked up in the direction of the spot
| where Travis was standing. Travis
became aneasy at his approach, but
made no motion to depart. When
| Captain Skiles had reached him he
| caught him by the collar and told him
he was his prisoner. AT that moment
Travis jerlled out a Colts revolver and
shot at Captain Skiles, grazing his
| right hand. Captain SlIiles broke his
mace over TTavis's head, which caused
| Travis TO drop his pistol. They then
had desperate struggle for the mas
terry, ending in both being thrown to
the ground, Travis falling upon his
pistol. At tthisimcture Captain Skiles
snapped Derringer at him. The negro
then shot at Skiles, the ball taking out
apiece of the latter's ear. Captain
Skiles now drew forth small Smith a.
| Wesson pistol aud shot Travis in the
neck, after which the latter gave him
self up, and was conveyed to the Chat
| tanoOga depot, from whence he was
| taken 10 Atlanta, by the Sheriff. man.
acled and handcuiied, on the $50 p. NJ.
train. 1t is believed that Travis's
wound may prove fatal. Governor
| Bullock, subsequent TO the committal
| of the dreadful murders mentioned, Of
fered s 900 for Trayis's apprehension,
the citizens adding So, 900 more. What
ever may be the reward, Captain Skiles
certainly deserves not only TO be COM
mended for his bravery, but to share
in the division of THO money.

Tax on English Journals.

The tax on English journalism,
known us the newspaper stamp, ended
the 3Oth of last September. 1t had
lasted more than five generations of
men. The original act was passed in
Queen Anne's time, in l7l2, and was
intended to repress the seditious publi-
cations of the time. That it might not
excite popular attention, il was tackled
on to bill taxing soap, linen, silk,
calico, &c.-a device, we believe, not
unknown to modern legislators. The
duty was at first one penny. In May,
1916, IA date interesting TO Americans,
IL was advanced 10 three half pence
i'm 1889 it was again raised TO two pence.
In 1894 an additional half penny was
tackled on; in 1897 it was further in
| creased to three pence half penny, and
in 1915 TO four pence, at which time a
newspaper must have been serious
item in the family expense. In the
reign of William ~, 1896, il was re-
duced To one penny. In 1919 the stamI
was only required for papers transmit
! ted through the mail, and finally, al
the last session, II was done away with
altogether. AdshuiHc JHion.

that he said to England, "we will

AFRICANIzED.-The Legislature
Of South Carolina, recently elected,
Buffers Ap0stasy.

Gen. Butler is preparing to aban-
don the sinking fortunes of the Re
publican party as he did the democ-
racy in 1861. In his speech before
the Boston Lyceum on the 23d, he
uses the following very significant
disloyal language:
The Republican party, in its incep-
tion, held in fact but one cardinal priu-
ciple i'm common; its members divided
upon every other. Its highest claim
was demand for the extinction of
Slavery by the gradual circumscription
of its limits. Its record is of the past
alone. Its mission, at home, has end
ed, save to garner the gleanings of the
harvest of its great past.
When the call to arms in 1861 ranged
patriotic men of all shades of political
opinion on the side of the Government,
and by the mere force of that circum-
stance they were thrown into the ranks
of the republican party because they
saw that thu time had come when Sla-
very was no longer Compatible with
free institutions rs they existed under
the Union and Constitution, many
who had acted all their lives with the
Democratic party became identified as
Republicans, bringing into that party
all their Democratic doctrines and
opinions except those upon Freedom
and Slavery. This class of Republi-
cans, or War Democrats, formed no in
considerable portion of the Republi-
can party, and aided not little in the
| ultimate triumphs of the country in
the struggle for its life. So it happens
that the Republican party is scarcely
q homogeneous one. Its members to-
day hold but single thought in COM
mon-they nOay and do differ upon all
else. That is the determination that
the Government of the country ought
not, must not, and shall not pass into
the hands of those who sought TO di-
vide and destroy it, or who were pas
sively willing it should be divided.
