AIR aUNa,

Probably. the most perfect sir guns
in the world are those made in London
for the use Of English poachsrt. Al
they make no smoke, and, consequently
no smell, they are not 10 easily detect:
cd rs firearms when used ia game pre-
serves. Il il . mistake, however. 70
suppose that they make no noise.
When charged 20 as to produce the ef-
fects above described, the report IL
quite sharp-fully a. much % 8 that
prodncsd by g66p6Wder. When tightly
charged. the report is, Of coarse, d.
minished; but the force with which the
bullet is projected is also proportional
ly lessened, and 80 is Eie recoil. Al
weapon for secret assassination, the
air gun does not posseas much Advan-
tage over good ride cane. Few per-
sons are, however, aware,ofi.ths slight
charge of powder OF air that IL neces-
sary to produce fatal wound at short
distances.
Experience teaches us chat . bullet
that will go through half-inch board
will kill asman II it strikes him in
fatal and not too well protected part.
Now bullet can be projected from o
rifle from o force sufficient to pierce
such board at twelve PAGES, by means
OF charge of powder not greater than
that which viii lie on a. silver three
cent piece; and, provided the charge be
ignited quietly, as by pill lock, the
noise of the explosion will not attract
the attention of persons ~ho are sixty
yards distant. The small pistols in
common use make very little noise, ex-
cept when discharged in confined
places; and, yet, il the ban should
strike vital part. death may be caused
instantaneously BY q wound from them.
The only advantages posessed by the
air gun are its perfect cleanliness, and
tho fact that the parts are not liable to
be corroded and rusted. Il never re-
quires cleaning, but the labor of charg-
ing the condenser ma; fairly offset
against the labor involved in cleaning
ordinary firearms after they have been
used. F @

OBSERVATIONS OF AN OLD MAN.

Ihave noticed that all men are hon
est when we'll watched.
I have noticed that purses will hold
pennies as we'll as pounds.
have noticed that merit is always
measured in the world by its success.
I have noticed that in nearly all things
money is the main object in view.
/ have noticed that in order to he q
reasonable creature it is necessary at
times to be downright mad.
I have noticed that some men are so
honest that nece essity compels them in
the end to be dishonest.
I have noticed that silks, broadcloths
and jewels are purchased with other
peoples money.
I have noticed that whatever is, is
right, with a few exceptions--the left
eye, the left leg, an1 the left side of n
plum pudding.
have noticed that he who thinks
ovcry man 4 rogue is very certain to
see one when he shaves himself, and
hcought, in mercy to his neishbors to
surrender the rascal to justice.
have noticed that money is the fool 8
wisdom, the Enave's reputation, the
poor mans desire, the covetous mans
ambition, and the idol OF all.
I have noticed that all men speak
we'll of all mems virtues when they are
dead, and that tombstones nre marked
with cpitaphs of the good and virtuous
Is there any particular cemetery where
tho bad men are buried?

A DINNER Excuse. - Apologies for
poor dinners are generally out of place.
But when lady has a forgetful hus-
bantl, who, without warning, brings
home dozen guests to sit down to q
plain family dinner for three or four, it
is not in hum IN nature to keep abso-
lutte silence. What to say, and how to
say it form tho problem. Mrs. Tucker,
the wife of Judge Tucker, of Williams
burg, solved the problem many years
ago. She was the daughter of Sir Pey-
ton Skipwith, and celebrated for her
beauty, wit, ease anu grace of manner
Her temper and tact were put to the
proof one court-day, when the Judge
brought with him the accustomed half
*core or more of lawyers, for whom not
the slightest preparation had been
made, the judge having quite forgotten
to remind his wife that it was court
day, and she herself, strange to tell,
having overlooked the fact. ''.
The dinner was served with elegance.
and Mrs. T. made herself very charm
ing. Upon rising to leave the guests
to their wine she said: Z" Gentlemen,
YOU have dined to-day with Judge
Tucker; promise me now that you
will dine tomorrow with me- @
This was all her apology, whereupon
the gentlemen swore that such wife
was beyond price. The Judge then ex-
planned the situation, and the next day
there was q noble banquet. &
Mmal-Never worry q guest with
apologies. Z snjgt1'a !-.'
