The Taylor Gun.

Mr., A. a. Taylor, brother of j. a.
Taylor inventor of the Taylor gun, writes
from New York to the Jonesboro' Hcruld
and Tribune as follows:
In the present model there are twenty
four barrels, (it will be remembered that
as many barrels can be used as DESIRED
of II calibre. These barrels are screwed
into Il heavy breech-plate and encased in
a brass Jacket, or cylinder to which is to
be connected, 10y metallic tubes on each
side, IA tank, which is to contain water for
cooling purposes. The water is let into
the cylinder through these tubes by means
of a small screw, and passes out under the
muzZle of the piece. There being a space
between every barrel, the water has free
circulation, and 10y this means the heat
generated by rapid firing is carried off.
The cluster is eX inches in diameter at
the mouth and oval in shape. The bar
| rels are so angulated as that when fired
! the balls are sent in IA horizontal line,
spreading so feet in IA distance of go
! yards, putting "a ball every II inches. We
use the center fire cartridge-i. c., the full
| inmate is in the center. (Our Govern
/ ment is adopting the cartridge in prefer
ence to the rim fire. This is the reason
why we have adopted it for our gum
| These cartridges are placed in the maya
zine, which contains as many chambers
as there are barrels, each chamber con-
tanning nine charges. They are then
forced into the revolving plate by means of
rods, which we call feeders, and are then
carried by the revolving plate to the bar
rels where they are fired. This operation
is performed by means of a simple lever
the upward and downward movement of
which does four things lCith the utBlOS:
precision, namely: loads, revolves, fires
and elects the ignited cartridges This
lever is used for firing broadsides and
for eiecting the hulls. Aside from this
there is crank attached to the firing APP
paratus, which is used for discharging In
fusilades. SO that in action, when occa-
sion demands, the whole number of bar.
rels can be discharged simultaneously
while, by means of the crank and reversal
of machinery, they can be discharged
singly or in fuslades, at will. Even this
} firing will he more rapid than the Calling
ut its best, leaving the brOadside fire out
{ of the question. Last week we gave it &
partial test in the shops, which was
r entirely satisfactory 10 all present, On
e Monday, having prepared n target, il waS
mounted on trunnolIs and turned loose,
first in fusiadcs, then broadsides.

, looking at the UOOdcn nOdcL on one Occa

The alleged discovery Of the Homeric
city 0f Troy by DR.. Schliemau is regarded
as fabulous by some. Indeed, there are
those who believe the city itself is myth,
never having an existence except in the
poet, brain. The fact that it has defied
the researches of ancien. and modern IN
yestigations is deemed conclusive by the
sceplical. Still il may be well fOg these
doubter- To remember that there are more

Elder J. w, Hartscll has given us the partjo.
ulars of an aliray which occurred in the Greasy
Cove, in Washington county, II few day. ago,
which for brutality and fendshness scarcely
has its parallel. A man residing in the Cove
who is engaged in the occupation of whisky dis
tlling, went away from his home on business,
leaving colored .:,un to attend to his still, and
giving instructions that no spirits should bc sold
to any one during his absence He had been
gone but a short time when two men made their
appearance with a Jug and asked for whisky.
The colored man told them his instructions and
positively refused 10 let them have any. They
then went to the wife of the gentleman who
owned the still, and by menacing threats sue
ceeded in obtaining tho liquor, promising 10
pay cash DO Vn for it. IL was measured out to
them when they Immediately started of with
out paying for il. She pursued them and tried
to get the Jug away from them, when they a.
saulted her: The colored man, seeing this,
went 10 her assistance, when they seized hold o.
him and cut him with pocket knivc, in most
horrible manner, literally hacking him 70 pieces
-disemboweling and dragging his intestines,
! several yards of them, in the road. Nfter I'M
| shing tEeir brutal work the Ecoundrels left,
when the lady washed the intestines of the in
! jurcd man, replaced them, and we are iH'urmed

A correspondent of the Country GestiemaH says:
Immediately after the corn is planted, sprinkle
ON the hill, over the covered grains, ab.nt one
tablespoonful of salt to each hill More will do no
harm, hut how much mare thecoru will stspdI do
NOT know. A tablespooe fulise poqgS nd perhaps
less wonld do. That an. 1have buried cut worms
in salt and left them there long time without dos
them any apparent harm, and they will not eat
the Yong corn plant II thereis little salt in
its sap. That seems to be the explanation of its
protective influence.
Allow me to repeat that the salt should be put
on the corn hills Immediately after the planting,
that it may be dissolved by the ran dew, or 9TH
Of the plant greatly diluted by mixture with the
sill, and therefore safe to the young aud tender
plant; aud also that it may be at the roots, where
it may enter the sap of the plant, not at the
leaves, where it can only be destroyed.

sure way to prevent bees from going to the
woods, when they come ont and light, is to get a
pail half full of cold water from the we'll; take
broom brush and dip in the wafer, and throw it
mp over the bees, aud it will come down them
like fine rain; then hive them the usual way, and
sprinkle them while going in. and sprinkle the
ground around the hive, to cool the air; in fifteen
or twenty minutes do it again, and continue it
until the day is cooler keep the hiyein the shade.
There n no need Of having any bees 90 to the
woods-not at all. l bad over forty swarms last
last summer, aud saved all by sprnkling- them.

vENIILIAIE YouR CEILARs-Probably one of
the chief causes Why vegetables of certain kinds,
particular carrots, potatoes, beets and turnips,
rot SO soon after being deposited in the winter
bins, is the want Of proper care in ventillating
the cellars in which they are deposited. Far
mers should avoid this, by having some COM
munication between the cellar and the principal
chimney, in order t. facilitate the escape Of the
noxious and stagnant gases engcndered by the
vegetable or other eoutents
