WHAT Is A H0oDluM ?

The Eastern Press Is profoundly ag-
itated over the above conundrum.
What Il n Hoollum? asks the New
York World. Even Manton. Marble.
with all his classic and Eastern lore,
fails to catch the meaning of this new
California word. We are not sur
prised. The animal Ia indigenous to
our State, is the growth Of our pecli-
liar civilization-belongs to Us. We
proceed to enlighen the Swans Of the
Press. The Hoodlum Is a male Of the
human species Of the genus homo. He
dresses In broadcloth, wears polished
boots. carries q cane. He Il too lazy
to work ; he Il too proud to leg he is
too cowardiy to steal. lie lives of the
hard earnings Of the sin and shame Of
some poor girl whom he abuses and
neylect.; lie stands upon the street
corners with his Hoodlum companions
ofan afternoon ; stares In brazen vul-
garity at honest women. and insults
with rude gesture and indecent expires
lion the soiled doves As they fiutter by.
He has respectable relatives from
whom he 6orroMs when the wolf
chases him too closely, and during
election times he sells his influence for
cnin aud aids to control political re-
suits. He travels OH shape and talent;
he DULLES the weak and he hwnS upon
the strong; his ambition IL to get some
sinecure berth In politics; he Is night
watchman. or has q special police
mans beat-duties which he never
performs, except to collect the money.
He lives at free lunches he amuses
himself by rowdy actions; attends ex-
cursions. His strong effort Is to keep
out Of the clutches Of the law. He Is
the friend and counselor Of thleves
swindlers aud confidence men. and
finally adopts the felon's profession

From tho Eurefa Sentinel, July al
A few days ago a gentleman con-
nected with the coal and timber 6ust-
ness received several hundred dollars
In town on a contract, which amount
he proceeded to dlsburse to the last
cent before startling for home In the
hills. A few miles out he was met by
"A mounted road agent, and commanded
0 fork over "that money" He
frankly told the agent that he hadn't a
red ; but his story was not accepted rs
the whole truth, w%hereupon the enter
prising agent fastened to search him
In the appropriate style OF the art.
Not finding anything. the agent was
disposed ut first to be a little overbear-
Ing. but finally simmered down and
ronversed good naturally on many Of
the current topics Of the day. Before
parting the robbed was the recipient
Of n chew Of tobacco from the robber,
after which he went on his way re-
jolring. Taken all through, It was a
little the coolest affair Of the kind that
has ever come under wi notice.

solidated Company, Is now In 800 feet

BIG GUNS.

Daring the last few years great I'M
provements have been made In cannon,
both a. to size and accuracy. The old
style Of gun which was simply q good
sized hole created In q heavy mass OF
iron OF the requisite length. has given
place to the neatly made rifle cannon
which can be fired with wonderful
precision and accuracy, some Of them
50 large and heavy that they can only
be handled by means Of the most I'M
proved machinery. and two or three OF
them are enough for any ordinary
sized war vessel. The ancients u'ed
wooden cannon quite extensively. and
the records OF history show that they
were quite as successful IN slaughter
ing of their enemies In battle As are
We Of the present day with all u
modern improvements to that end. A
story Is told Of the Chinese, at the
time the English were forcing them to
open their ports to the world. One Of
the English steam frigates undertook
to pass up the river from Shanghae.
when she found a huge long chain
stretched across. Putting on a little
more steam she went for the chain gal
lantly, and to the sstonishment Of the
crowds Of belligerent Chinese crowding
the banks Of the river she snapped the
chain with perfect ease. and passed
along. Directly, however, n big crowd
OF them came hurrying along with a
huge wooden cannon, carrying it Oh
sticks placed across underneath 1t.
They laid 1t down on the ground, ele-
waited the muzzle over a rock. AMI sent
a marble ball Is big rs a tea.kettle
whizzinx over the frigate. She re-
piled with a small broadside Of
grape and canister, which laid the
poot devils out promlscuously, aud
placed their wooden gun at \ discount.
Before the close Of the Southern re-
bellion, cannon which would project 4
solid ball fifteen inches in diameter
had become quite common IN the naval
service. and even larger guns have
since been constructed. In which the
powder used has to be rs Coarse aS
hickory nuts. Besselner. the inventor
Of the new aud cheap process Of max
Ing steel, now proposes a new style Of
ofheavy ordnance. wherein the charge
10 divided up into various separate
cells and discharged SUCCESSFULLY, each
adding fresh impulse to the ball aud
all being discharged before It leaves
the gun. He proposes making a steel
cannon sixty feet long, with q bore
thirty inches In diameter. which shall
project a shell Of five tons weight.
Such a ball would almost knock an
enemy's ship out Of wate.. let her be
Of iron or any other material, and be
rulnous to land Notifications. We
presume before long that somebody
will make q cannon which will b. 4
whole ship load Of itself-a cannon
that a ship a DO built around aud
taken out 70 sea. Tho muzzle could
stick out Of the bow Of the ship and the
toueh-hols DO kept nca the ruader.
There would be no handling Of the
gun necessary. but all there would be
to do would be merely to point the
ship at the desired object aud touch
her Of.

sunday school Teachers, Institute.

The Universalist centenary Sunday school
teachers association began the two days session
of its Sunday school teachers institute in this
city, yesterday, at the Unyersalist church. The
forenoon session was held in the spacious vestry
Of the church, which was filled to Overlooking
with representatives of the denomination from
all sections of New England. The meeting was
called to order at hall-past ten O'Clock by Rev
j. j. Lewis of South Boston, who acts as mod
orator of the assembly, and Rev. g. W. Perry Of
Lynn is secretary. The exercises were opened
with prayer by Rev G. II. Vibbert of East Bos-
ton, after which the hymn, "Nearer My God to
Thee" was sung. An appropriate address of
welcome was then made by Rev, T. E. St. John,
pastor of the church, in behalf of his parish
and Sunday school, to those present from
abroad, pledging them the warmest hos
pitality and good will of the citi-
zens of the Heart of the Common
wealth, congratulating them upon the noble
object which they had met TO promote, and the
happy auspices under which such large numbers
had assembled. Rev Mr. Lewis responded briefly,
extending his heartfelt thanks in behalf of the
institute, saying this was the commencement Of
new movement for the advancement of the
Sabbath school cause, in which the hearty CO.
operation of every friend of this benefcent
Christian enterprise in the land was asked. Its
special object was the most thorough consecra-
ton and adaptation of every Sabbath school
teacher to his work.
The discussions were opened with an address
by MIR. Charles L. Carpenter of Providence, r.
l., on "The Field and the Laborer," in which he
made interesting references to his experience as
superintendent of the Sunday school connected
with the First Universaist church of Provi-
dence, developing therefrom hints of the neces-
sity on the part Of the TEACHER for more
thorough preparation for and devotion to his
work
Rev. A. B. Heryey of Peabody followed with
an able essay on "1he Spirit and Method re-
qured for the work. This, he said, was found
first In Christian copsccration and lively per-
sonal duty and love of the work aud degQtion to
it, heart and soul, so as to be able to lead the
young souls upward and onward; secondly, in a
possession of all the requisite knowledge in
GLIDING every branch of literature, science, &c,
for the work; thirdly, an increase of the apti-
tude to teach. He then considered how to get
the best power and method, and how to increase

AT the conclusion of this trial a patent coup
ling, owned by S. B. Hutchinson Of Springfield,
was tried in competition with the kind now in
use, by the members of steamer B. 1t was
found that with this coupling connection
could be made and a stream put through the
hose in 10 IL seconds, while it took 80 seconds
to accomplish the same thing with the old style
coupling. There is a prospect that this patent
will be adopted by the city.
The trial of hook and ladder companies under
engineers Loring, Knowles and Brophy, took
place inside the agricultural grounds, and was
witnessed by a large crowd of people, who
viewed with wonder, not unminged with fear,
the daring manner in which some of the feats
were accomplished. The test consisted in run
ming from given point to the carriage, make
splice ofladders, place roof ladder in position
and replace the ladders in the carriage. The
time was taken when the roof ladder touched
the ridgepole, and when the ladders were re-
placed on the carriages, as follows:
Hook and Ladder No. 2.........,..1:20 LAO

This exercise concluded the series of competi-
tive trials, and the members of the department
assembled on the track to hear the announce
ment of time, which was made by Alderman
Chamberln, of the committee on fire depart
ment, from the judges stand. Previous to the
announcement, Mayor Very was introduced,
and spoke in very complimentary manner of
the days exercises. He addressed a few words
of advice to his hearers, and pledged himself
to do all in his power to make the condition of
the department even better than it now is.
Alderman ChamBerlin also made few remarks
of coDgratulatiou on the improvement which
has been manifested in the department during
the last six months.
The procession then reformed, and, after
long march through some of the principal
streets, disbanded in front of the city hall about
seven o'clock. The days exhibition was OF a
very successful character, and very crcditable to
those who participated in it. The people of this
city have just reason to be proud that they have
fire department so faithful and efficient.
