German Navy and Coast Guns.

The following particulars, furnished
by Commercial Councillor Krupp to
the Imperial Admiralty recently re-
specting the three new classes of guns
for the navy and coast defenses, with
which he proposes to supply the
national ornaments, namely, 35cen-
timetre guns, 38-centimetre guns, and
46-centimetre guns, have reached the
London Standard from trustworthy
sources. The heaviest gun hitherto
constructed has been the 36-centimetre
gun, or so-called thousand FOUNDER,
which, when exhibited at the Paris
Exhibition, aroused so much astonish-
ment. It is at present standing in a
coast battery of Kiei. In last years
International Exhibition (Vienna) the
strongest gun exhibited was the 3Oa-
centimetre, which is destined to serve
as coast-battery gun. Up to the pres
ent time the heaviest gun used in
arming the iron-clads has been the "a
centimetre; and the Kaiser Wilhelm,
whose seaworthiness is doubtful, is
provided with guns of that calibre. It
is intended to arm the two new iron.
clad frigates now building at Sandals,
in london, with 30a -centimetre guns,
weighing about $4,000 pounds, and
taking charge of 120 pounds of powder
with 600 pound shell. This 303-
centimetre gun, at short ranges, will
pierce the l4-inch plates, and at 5000
yards the 6-inch plates; while the "a
centimetre gun will only penetrate the
10-inch plates at a short range. The
newly projected As centimetre gun,
however, will, according to calcula-
tions the accuracy Of which are
indisputable, when loaded with a
charge of five cwt of pris-
matte powder, and shell weigh
ing about ton, pierce 20-inch plate
at about 800 yards'-or metres'-
range. The only difficulty at present
standing in the way of constructing
this gigantic engine of war is the set
ting up of steam hammer sufficiently
powerful to weld together into solid
mass the jets of moulten steel poured
together from the various melting pots
in quantities of about 100 pounds. The
heaviest hammer hitherto employed by
Krupp weighs over 100, 900 pounds, and
to make the new gun hammer will be
required weighing least 220, 900
pounds. AS Krupp's workshops and
foundries, which ere built upon hollow
ground, might be seriously damaged
by the working of such hammer, it
has been resolved to set the new one up
in the new practicing range at Dull
mer. The weight of the new gun will
be between 26O, 900 and 27O, 900 pounds.

Small shapeless drifts of cloud
Sail slowly northward in the soft-hued sky,
With blue half-tints and rolling SUBMITS
bright,
Nv the late sun caressed slight hazes shroud
An things afar; shineth each leaf an1gh
With it's own warmth and light.
O'erblown by southland airs,
The summer landscape basks In utter peace !;
Tn lazy streams the lazy clouds are seen;
Low hills, broad merdows and large, clear cut
squares
OF rirening corn-felds, rIpped by the
breeze,
With shifting shade and sheen.
Harkl and you may not hear
sound less soothing than the rustic cool
OF swaving leaves, the steady wiry drone
OF unseen crlckets, sudden chirplngs clear
OF happy birds, the tlnkle OF The pool,
Chafed by single stone.
What vague, delicious dreams, 90 81
Born OF this COL en- hour of afternoon,
A air-balm ireighted, fill the soul with
bliss; "
Transpierced like yonder clouds with lustrous
CLEANS, .. .-rtt s
Fantastic, brief as they, and, like them

OF gIided nothingness! ...
All things are well with her. ....
IT'S good TO be alive, to see the light
That plays upon the grass, TO feel (and sigh
With Lerfect pleasure) the mild breezes str
Among the garden roses, red and white,
With whlffs of fragrancy.
There is no troublesome thought,
No painful memory, no vain regret, .
To mar the sweet suggestions of the hour
The soul, at peace, ref cts the peace without
Forgettlng gri, as sunset skies .orget
The mornings transient shower.

The Potato.Bug's Winter Quarters.
n Do \ Arn

John Keller, of Unity Township,
while grubbing on piece of land the
other day, unearthed countless thou
sands of potato-bugs, fat and lively,
and ready for the summer campaign.
It has often been subject of wonder
to many where the bugs went to in the
fall. The above will afford them suffi-
cient enlightenment, we trust, to ena-
BILE them to rest easy on this matter in
the future.

Distribution of the Geneva Award.
The Judiciary Committee OF the House to-day dis
cussed at length the bill prepared by Mr.. Butler
for the distribution OF the Geneva award which Is
substantially the same the bill prepared by him
at the last session oil Congress. One important
change has been introduced, providing that all
who lost by the depredations Of the rebel cruisers
shall be permitted to file their claim, whether the
same come under the head Of vessels enumerated
in the Geneva award or not.

BOSTON CUSTOM HOUSE.
MIR. Simmons Appointed Collector OF tho
Port.


BOSTON, Feb. II, 1874
The nomination Of william A. simmons as Col
lector OF the Port OF Boston, vice Judge Thomas
Russell, resigned, has disturbed Boston scarcely
less than the great IRE. The announcement OF the
nomination this morning took everybody by sur.
PRISE and mingled with those who were pleased
at the selection were handsome abundance who
were most indignant. In hotels and counting
rooms and the street there has been little else
talked of during the day. The active part which
Mr.. Simmons as Supervisor OF Internal Revenue,
has taken In State politics, particularly
during the late Butler gubernatorial campaign,
has rendered him obnoxious TO the Washburn
stripe OF republican politicians, and his promotion
from the Internal Revenue Bureau to the Custom
and Butler snub to til ose who were so active in
dampening Buffers gubernatorial aspirations last
fall. He has been in the revenue business Tor ten
years, and Tor four years has had charge OF the
New England department. The fact That he Ia
only thlrty-three years OF age Is brought up by
those who are opposed to Young America, and
among the efforts which are being made to defeat
ton meeting by portion OF the Board OF Trade
IS possible. II, however, such an event comes,
there Will be an opposition movement by
those members OF the Board friendly to Simmons,
and all OF these are confident that the Senate
will ratify General Grants selection. Whatever
may be the result or the Importance OF the matter
the movement Is undoubtedly the entering wedge
OF another Butler campaign next fall. Judge Rus-
sell, the retiring Collector, Is named for mission
to Venezuela; but his selection for that bureau
probably depends somewhat upon the late OF Mr..
summons nomination in the Senate.

the opportunities offered by the new

we see no bar to Lehighton having AZ

by our citizens to listen to the temper
ance lecture delivered by the eloquent
lady orator, Mrs. Ida F. Leggett, Of New

our people were highly delighted with
her.
