Shooting a Gun that Had Been Load
ed Eight Years.

There has been a gun standing
behind cupboard in Pine street
residence for the past eight years.
1t belonged to the occupants father,
and was set up there in loaded con-
dition. Its presence was always an
eyesore TO the occupants wife, who
shared fully with the six their fear
Of frearms So, the other day
Friday, we think she induced her
husband to take it down and fire is
of. He had never fired a gun that
had been loaded for eight years in
fact, ho never fired gun at all, so
he polked it out Of tho window and
took aim into tho garden, without
the fainte.t shadow Of fear. His
wife, being afraid Of firearms, stood
behind his back and looked over his
sholder, with her eyes tightly shut.
lie shut his eyes, too, and then pulls
ed the trigger. What Immediately
followed, neither appeared TO have
any settled idea. He says he can
vaguly remember hearing noise Of
some kind, and has an indistinct inn
preston of passing over something
which must have been his wife, as
she was found between him and the
window by the neighbors who drew
him out Of the fireplace. The fact
that one of his shoulders was set back
about three inches, and that three
of his teeth were imbedded in his
scalp, seemed to indicate that in
stepping back from tho window he
had done 50 abruptly, and this con-
clusion, we are glad to say, was veri-
fled by both on being restored to
consciousness DanJTy Nel0S.

Great Loss of State Papers.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Some time
ago it was charged, and afterwards
demonstrated, that the records of the
Buell. court martial were distracted
from the War Department. Within
q day it has been discovered that all
the archives in the War Department
PERTAINING 10 the secret history Of
the rebellion have been stolen.
When this was done, or by whom, is
not known. The late Secretary STAN
ton, during his administration of the
War office, filed away large number
OF private letters and kilograms, the
existance Of which was known to
two or three persons besides himself.
They relate to courts martial, the
conduct Of prominent officers of the
army, the intrigues af politicians and
military aspirants, and the rascality
Of the Government contractors, and
the ways and means used to influence
the President of the United States
in overruling the decision of the Sec
rotary of War. In these cases, gen.
tleman whose positian made MIN fa>
miliar with these documents, says
many men, who were connected with
the army and who have since fgur-
ed prominently in public life, will re
tain their character more securely
with these records out of the reach
OF scrutiny. 1t is known that they
were all in the War Office when Stan.
ton retired. He had them systemat~
ically briefed and slowed away In
safe place, and had he lived and re-
manned in public life, they probably
would have figured largely in pre-
venting the appointment CT men to
office who have since shown that they
were no bett er fitted for the Civil
Service than they were for positions
of trust and high command in the
army. These private archives COW
cred q period Of time from the first
battle of Bull Run down TO the sur
render OF Lees army. They embrat
ced orders Of court martial, with thei-
finding, some OF them sentencing the
offenders to be shot, and other rec.
ords OF which tho people were ignor-
ant. L. is said that gentleman cor :
nected with tho War Department
during the rebellion, through whose
hands all these matters passed, took
copies of them, and will use them in
writing the secret history OF the war

Notwithstanding which, it waa not vet know,

or tue United Statos Government in its decision,
tint it waa duo to tho great importance OF tho

and also tho Interruption Of tho maila between
San Francisco ana Honolulu. The advice Of tho

promptly resigned; but, at tho urgent solicita-

There was considerable astouiBhment and indig-

the natives that tho reciprocity treaty would
