FEMININE ExTRAvAGANCE.-The editor o.
the Presqus Isle Sunrise visited New Sweden in
company with party of gentlemen from the
different parts of the State and in conversation
upon the wonderful progress of the colony, they
concluded that the prosperityiwas largely due
TO the fact that the women worked as well as
the men and that there are no dlers One gen
teman whom the Sunrise designates as zone of

ENGINES OF Wharf.-The Boston Advertiser
gives the following particulars of the Wizard
gun experiments, Thursday, at Nut Island:
The experiments were conducted with the
view of testing the efficacy of the invention at
short range. The guns used were two twenty
one ton, fifteen inch guns, cast for the purpose
at the South Boston foundry. One of these
was rit1ed under the supervision of Mr.. Wizard,
and the other had the ordinary smooth bore
Inc rfied gun was first tried. One hundred
ana hfty feet Off were placed two iron targets
exactly alike fifteen inches in thickness and
o ~ tsa,h oi nve tnree-lnch plates firmly bolt
ed toSether, and backed by the natural gravel
of the bank, forming most powerfnl 1raS;s.
ance. The gun was loaded With conical shot
of 400 pounds. with f1ange on either side to
fit the rifled bore. The powder was loaded in
bags, to the amount of LOO pounds, the heaviest
charge ever fired from one cannon The
charge was exploded by means of string,
the man who pulled 1t standing several hun
dred feet off. The effect was terrific, the force
carrying tie shot entirely through the target
and twelve feet into the solid gravel, which
was frozen for some distance The massive
target was almost completely demolished
Through the first two plates the shot made a
clean-cut hole, but the last three plates We're
rent and shattered the bolts and rivets which
held them together being broken and torn
from their sockets. A piece of the target
weighing something like half ton, was hurled
over the heads of the spectators who stood
looking on from afar oil, IN a manner to strike
terror to their hearts. 1t fell into the sea
something like half mile off. The second ex-
pertinent was with the smooth bore gun, which
was loaded with the same amount of powder
and spherical shot of the same weight as the
oGher. The shot penetrated but three of the
five plates of its target and was then crushed
and stopped, showing the vast superiority of
the rifed shot, which would crush through
the stoutest iron clad af1oat as it would an egg
shell. Mr.. Wizard claims that with thirty
tou gun he could as easily carry a shot through
twenty finch plate. The experiments were
regarded as highly satisfactory, and the result
was telegraphed to the Secretary of the Navy
as soon as the party returned to the city. A
photographer was onlthe spot and took views of
the guns plates and all the surroundings, for
tne use OF the Navy Department. Early next
week further experiments will be made at long
range. in the direction of Strawberry Hill and
Nantasket, with view of aseertanidg the We
locity of the shot and the distance to which it
can be fired,

Pernicious Purgatives,

The brilliant idea of half century ago that the
weak and ailing could be bed blistered and salivat
ed iuto condition of health and vigor is happily ex-
rloded but violent and prolonged purgation is STILL
to some extent, in vogue. We have imposters who
daring enough offer to The world as tonics and
restoratves, the most destructive catharics unmod-
flied by single stimulating, soothing OF restorative
element Compare the operation of one of thes ter
rible nostrums with that of Hosteters Stomach Bit

eIements-a toui., an Alternative, and an aperient
Ihe former completely paralyzes the vital forces SO
that nature can ma sc no resistance to disease; the
latter sustains the strength of the patient, while it
restores the suspended functions of the secretory
gans and relieves the bowels without violence or pain
1t Is simply choice between restoration and pros
tration.
