A WORD ABOUT PISTOLS.

There has always been attached to weapons
of defense and offense an interest peculiar L
themselves Men naturally have a curiosity tc
inspect and handle, apart from any particular
| desire to use or carry them. Death-dealine
articles have about them something like q
charm, morbid though it be, and beautiful
digger or old pistol awakens a host Of imagi
nary pictures, and conjures up battalion OF
dramatic probabilities.
The manufacture of pistols has now reached
a perfection more remarkable perhaps than
that Of the larger arms. Mechanical inge-
nuitv, it would SEEM has exerted itself to The
utmost i'll the improvement of these small
arms in efficiency aud accuracy. The first.
and by connosseurs considered the best,
revolver now made is the English Tranter
This is selt-cocking cartridge revolver Of
different calbres, made Of the very finest
material and thoroughly proved in the Tower
before being placed on the market The
pocket or belt size is remarkable for its accu-
racy at even very long distances, and this,
together with rapiaity Of firing, makes it the
first favorite.
Next is the Smith u Wesson tive-shot re-
volver. Since this pistol was first introduced
it has risen steadily in reputation, and
not .self-cocking, is yet considered
by many to be superior to the Tranter. Its
lightness, ease Of manipulation and thorough
finish make it probably the most convenient
OF the others, Colt, Rem
inSton, Terror, Bulldog and a host Of others,
there is nothing as yet remarkable in their
They have been recently i'm
proved, and the calibre enlarged as far as
safety would allow. In fact the tendency OF
seems to be to give all the pos
sible weight to the ball, in order to insure
he greatest efficiency. and this for very
good reason.
Numerous instances are on record where an
attacking party has received seven body shots
rom small seven-shooter Of 22-1OO calibre,
nd yet lived long enough to kill his victim.
n these days Of burglaries and crime it j.
veil enough to know something OF these facts, |
nd for this we thought out these lines.
