4 Pledge of Peace.

The London Times of the I'd has the
following telegram from st. Peters
burg. The Emperor William, on the
20th of April, in reply to an address
from German residents In st. Peters
burg, thanked his subjects for the ex-
preston Of their patriotic sentiments,
and alluded TO the great transformation
which had been brought about in Ger
many, due before all to the unequalled
deeds of valor of the German army, but
owing also it's accomplishment to the
unanimous devotion and sacrifice of
the whole nation. The Emperor
continued as follows ''You know
how the disposition of God
led us to victory in war into which we
were forced by sudden attack. Prov
idence fulflls the hopes by which we
are inspired, that the future of Ger
may be equal to the position to, which
she attained, and that her national
development may be facilitated by the
blessings of peace. HeruDity is fact,
and will, from year to year, bear
glorious fruit. Such state in the
center of Europe is a pledge of peace,
and is a happy thing for us all, who
are now learning to feel that Provi-
dence selected us to achieve this great
contamination. Our hopes, too, will
be accomplished.

How Great Guns are Made.

The Springfield Republican gives
the following account of how the
Hitchcock cannon are to be made Tn
the fabrication of the large Hitchcock
cannon, about to be manufactured at
the water shops, it is necessary that
the iron should be heated in reyer-
beratory furnace, to avoid it's contact
with sulphur and other impurities of
coal. The gun is to be formed of rings
of wrought iron or low steel, made
without Yields, the rings SO formed as
TO be united first in the centre. that
the superfuous cinder may be squeezed
out The anvil which is to receive the
blow OF the steam hammer is to be
seated on the piston of hvdrostatic
press, SO as to be lowered as each sue
cesslve ring is added to the gun,
during the process of forging. The
furnace IS to be situated between the
anvil and the steam hammer, and so
arranged that the rings project into it
from below, and the hammer drops into
1T from above. The ring to form the
muzzle OF the gun is laid upon the
movable anvil, and is projected
sufficiently into the furnace to allow
the flame to raise it to welding heat.
Meanwhile, in another part of the
furnace, the rings are heated to weld
ing pitch the same time by proper
tloning the heat, by means of hampers.
to the relative bulk of the two parts,
Without removing the parts from an
atmosphere IN which there is very lit
tie, If any, oxygen, they are laid to-
gether and instantly welded by a few
strokes of the steam hammer. The
anvil Is then lowered the thickness of
the RIG just welded on, and the same
process repeated until the entire gun
IS forged. One advantage Mr.. Hitch
cock has is IN his plan over all others
IS, that he never over or underheats
the metal, the temperature being regu-
lated III either furnace by the turn of
the h3nd, so that al even temperature
may be maintained for hours, If neces-
sary, thus avoiding oxldizing, Us the
Welding surfaces are not exposed 10

IS TO be made OF cast iron, eighteen
inches III diameter when turned, and
fourteen feet long, with the head fitted
to receive the anvil block. This plung-
or will weigh five tons. The anvil block

weighing eight tons. Over the top Of
the anvil block viii be placed several
loose blocks, which will weigh 5000
pounds. The rings with which the gun is
TO be built up aie to be made at Pitts

Three BARRIERS,

A traveller writes: "During my tour
I made three interesting visits to bar
Der shops. The first was in indian
apolis, on circus day. The calliope
placed itself before the shop as l en-
tered, and l was shaved to the internal
music of the calllope. The next time
was in Milwaukee. My barber, a
young German, told me he had Just
been converted--converted by the
preaching of Mrs. Van Cott-and that
he was young convert trying to walk
in the ways Of the Gospel. I don't
know that ever before was shaved by
a converted barber, but this one did
his work so we'll that I wished every
barber might be converted. The next
time was in Montreal. I saw BARRIERS

who were enjoying a dog fight. re-
treated, entered another shop near by,
found two burbers asleep, woke one of
them up, when he had roaring French
row with his partner as to which should
undertake the job. It was hard to
come down from calliope shave in
indianapolis, and pious shave In
Milwaukee, to choice between dog
fighting barber and a sleeping barber
in Montreal.

The Future Enigrnnt Ship.

Days harper weekly.
The emigrant steamer, to attract
the public IN future, should be lust
what the Atlantic was not. It should
provide Tor safety rather than speed; it
should be commodious and conve-
nient; it should be never overcrowded.
It's provisions, fuel, medical attend
ance, comforts and appliances should
all be on generous scale Cleanli-
ness and decency might well be en-
forced upon the emigrants and the
crew. The captain should be of I'M
doubted capacity, the officers and men
selected for sobriety, goo1 morals, and
honest repute. 1t remains, probably,
for our shipbuilders and merchants to
produce q line of emigrant steamers
that will satisfy al those require
ments. 1t is the duty of our people TO
provide safe passage for their host of
ever welcome guests. And we are con-
fident that in line of Justly managed
there would never occur another disas-
ter, like that which has strewn the
coast of Novia Scotia with emiorant
dead, in which the over crowded shin
became the scene of an unheard bar
barity, when women and children were
driven to the wall, and of the fierce
and frightened crowd that forced it's
murderous passage ups the gangway;
the strong cared only for themselves,
the feeble were cast aside. Had the
Atlantic been but half as thickly
thronged with passengers, a large
part of the women and children-per-
haps all of them-might have been
saved

The Profit of Alaska.

Il is quite possible that posterity
Will have reason to class among the
late Mr.. Stewards greatest services to
his Country the part which he perform
ed IN the acquisition of Alaska. 1t
is figured that two small islands in the
Behring's sea-St. Georges island, and
ST. Paul's island-which were included
In the purchase, will, in the course of
few years, pay back the entire sum
that Alaska cost, and be the source of
a great revenue to the federal treasury
for all time to come. They have been
leased to company for seal fishing, the
government receiving yearly rental
of S55, 600 and So for every seal skin
shipped from the islands. One hun
dred thousand skins are annually ex-
ported, SO that the yearly income of
the government from this source is
1856, 900.

Willow Whistles.
BY OLIVE A. wApswoBTH.

The world is wide awake to-day.
The LATEST drones are bustling,
The brooks slip by, the winds are gay,
And every leaf Is rusthng;
This shady bank meath beech and oak,
With lance like grasses bristles,
And yon and i, two idle folk,
Sit making willow whistles.
Oh, heavenly sunshine of the May,
Succeeding winter hoary,
What shade can shut its light away,
What gloom resist its glory
Down through our ieafy canopy
Dart myriad golden missiles,
And gid the brook, the bank, the tree,
And cen the willow whistles.
Such wealth of leaf such worlds OF green
Such balm, no words caa utter
And all the birds that e'er were seen
Have gathered here to futter;
They pertiy perch, with heads awry,
Upon the swaying thlstles,
Aud evidently wonder why
We're making willow whistles.
How dare you, comrade, trife so,
In these grand forest temples,
And laugh, and beat your sappy bough,
And set me bad examples
Such songs of praise here arise
As ne'er were found in Mssals,
And we should hearken, We're we wise,
Instead of making whistles.
They say the worlds a vale of tears,
And man is born to trouble
The words sound idly in my ears
Beside the brooklet's bubble;
Friends change, | hear, and hopes grow pale,
The fairest project tizzles,-
I'm glad there's no such word as fail
In making willow whistles.
The brook shows back two heads of brown
Though ones prettjer Color
A Titan hue,-no need to frown,
Eve said not which IS duller:
They'll be the same, both yours and mine,
When time their BROWNIES grizzlies
And then we'll laugh at Aud Lang Syne,
When we made willow whistles.
