sABBArH-DAY SUGGESTIONS.

Busy not thyself in searching into
other mems lives; the errors Of thine
own are more than thou canst answer
! for. It more concerns thee TO mend
one fault in thyself than TO find out a
thousand in others. .--Bish. Leighton.
II know not which is the greater
wonder-that prayer, which is a duty 10
easy and facile, so ready and adapted TO
the opportunities Of every man, should
have so great effects, and be productive
of such mighty blessings; or, that We
should be so unwilling TO use so easy am
instrument Of procuring so much good.

At the date Of excavation assigned TO
it by Sir Charles Lyell, namely, n foot
a year, five thousand years will carry
the Horseshoe fall far higher than
Goat island. As the gorge recedes, 1t
will drain, as it has hitherto done, tho
banks right and left of il, thus leaving
n nearly level terrace between Goat is
land and the edge of the gorge. High
er up it will totally drain the American
branch of the river, the channel Of
which in due time will become cultiva-
BILE land. The American fall will then
be transformed into a dry precipice,
forming n simple continuation Of tho
cliffy boundary of the Niagara. AZ tho

the consequence OF this. To those who

Description of the New Springfield
Gun for the Army.

From the Springfield piass.) Republican.
The gun adopted is No. SO on the
list, and is operated in all respects
like No. 48, the arm issued for expert
mental trial in the field, differing from
it only in having the lock plate of uni
form thickness, about one-half that of
No. 48; the handspring bolster-spring
being replaced by a screw, and in
changing the shape of the hammer and
surrounding parts of the stock so as to
promote economy of manufacture and
ease of manipulation. The gun has five
motions, locked, opened, loaded, closed
and fred It is opened by half or full
cooking the hammer, and then pressing
the thumb-piece of the camratch spring !;
locked by the horizontal elongation Of
the hinge pin-hole in the breech-block,
allowing the block to slide bodily back
ward under the influence of the dis
charge, until by the enlargement of the
cam-shaft hole bearing in the line of
the barrel is obtained by means of the
interposition of tie cam, which abut-
ting against the bottom of its recess in
the block, transfers the reooil 10 the
face of the breech screw without sub
iectine the cam-shaft itself to any strain !;

usual pattern, the firing pin guard on
the front piece preventing in any posi-
ton of the breech block an unexpected
discharge of the piece before the breech
is securely closed. The cartridge shell
is extracted by an extractor swinging
on the hinge-pin and struck upon its
center of motion by the forward end of
the breech block near the completion of
its movement in opening. The eject
ment of the cartridge is made by ac-
celebrating the movement of the ex-
tractor by means of the spiral ejector
spindle and bears against the bottom of
the whole in the receiver at one end,
against the head of the spindle at the
other. When the extractor is revolved
by the opening of the block, the eject
or spring is compressed by the ejector
spindle, the point of which rests in
cavity at the back of the extractor,
above it's axis of motion. The contln-
ued revolution of the extractor finally
brings the direction of the eiector SPIN
die below the axis of motion. As soon
as the "dead center is passed the sud
den release of the ejector spring causes
the extractor to rapidly rotate about
it's axis, carrying the empty cartridge
shell against the beveled surface of the
eiector stud, by which it is detected
upward and thrown clear ont OF the
gun.

The French Flop Over

How curious are the vicissitudes Of
fortune Here is the family Of McMa-
hon, driven a century ago from Great
Britain on account OF their devotion TO
the exiled family of Stuart, or, in other
words, the hereditary monarchy. Now
one of their number in another country
to which they fed, heads the monarchial
reaction against the republic. We do
not believe there will be civil war IN
France in any event or under any cir
cumstances. The country is too wealthy
for that. French revolutions have never
partaken of that character, except in
the case of the Province Of La Nendee
in 1884. They have generally been
accomplished by an insurrection in
Paris. The revolution Of 1870, which
brought in the republic, was called in
derision the revolution of the pave
ments." The seat of government since
then has been at Versailles, fourteen
miles from Paris, which, guarded by
troops, is rendered much less accessible
to the power of the mob Of the capital,
which has 50 repeatedly upset or put on
foot governments. The peaceful acces-
sion Of Mcmahon may be greatly attri-
buted TO this fact GIN. Enquirer.

"A superstition prevails among GER
tain brutal and ignorant people that
certain birds may be made to sing more
sweetly by putting out their eyes. A
professor of this cruel art, who boasted
that he had sometimes done forty in
a day." was recently punished by fine
and imprisonment, in London, for thus
treating a chafiinch which, instead of
singing better, did not sing at all, but
was put to death by humane person,
to end its agonies.

How TO KEEP HAMs.-Every season
more or less hams are destroyed by in
sects, or rendered too unpalatable to be
eaten by decent people. By following
this method the insect can be entirely
kept at distance, and it is very simple,
and within the reach of almost every
farmer in the country: After the meat
has been well cured by pickle and
smoke take some clean ashes, free from
bits of coal, moisten them with little
water, so that they will form a paste,
or else just wet the hams little, and
rub on dry ashes. Rubbed in thorough
ly, they serve as capital insect-pro-
tector, and the hams can be hung up in
the smoke-house or wood-chamber
without any danger of molestation.
