Trousers for Ladies.

Long white trouers for ladies are
very much worn on the Continent
| These trousers should be quite plain
! for wearing in the daytime and in the
| street but those for evening wear
| should be made of fine cambria, or mus
| lin ornamented with embroidery, lace
! insertion, or heavy rich lace frills or
| hounces, according to the taste and
means of the lady herself. What could
look prettier, or more modest, than to
see a pretty, small, trousered foot in
silk stockings and a neat sandaled shoe,
appearing under the skirt of a muslin
dress, the ankles buried, as it were, in
several rows of the lao frllls or fiounces
of fine cambria or muslin trousers
Surely, also, when young lady of IS
or 10 is dancing, it is more modest, as
it is certainly very becoming, to see the
limbs hidden in lace frilled trousers of
cambria than in the present fashion.
AS / said, this mode is very m~ch seen
on the continent, among French, Span
lards, and especially Russians. When
at Barcelona a few years ago, 1 re-
marked that every lady wore trousers.
some i'Iain, some richly trimmed, with
lace frills or hounces. Two or four
inches of the trousers were visible, set
ting off the small Spanish foot to per

lady who used to wear most becoming
trousers in the evening, which were
made of very fine cambria, or muslin.

A New Mitrailleuse,

Taylor's new battery gun was tested
recently near Hartford, Conn. The IN
ventor is James Patton Taylor, Of Ten
nessee. 1t is claimed that in simplicity,
compactness, and rapidity of firing 1t
excels any mitrailleuse or GatlIng gan
before invented. its barrels are twenty
four in numGer, and are arranged III
two concentric circles-eight IN the in
uer and sixteen in the outer. They are
also regulated so as to radiate their ire,
covering a horizontal line of twenty-five
feet at a distance of five hundred yards.
4his would bring down every msn IN
column standing within this boundary.
The barrels project from combination
of breech cylinders which safely lnclose
all the internal mechanism and protect
it effectually from dust, dirt, or damp
ness. The gun fires with great rapid
operator in t en ene6dtsi Y34 a}g ~ 1F 1H9ilaae lse
the barrel from suitable charging cases,
which are introdue d into the interior
of the breech cylinders.
The test was made in the presencs of
journalists and others. The results
were astonishing. In firing a single
barrel at a distance of five hundred
yards bullets were repeatedly sent into
an eight-inch bulPs-eye. In firing the
Susilade the twenty-four balls were dis
tributed on a horizontal surface twenty
two feet long at a distance of a foot
apart, and firing by the battery the
same results were accomplished. The
rapidity of the fire was remarkable, be-
ing at the rate of seven hundred balls
per minute All present were convinced
that the gun was the most formidable
light arm weapon of war yet invented.

A Gave and a Corpse.


Buckingham county has sensation. A
wonderful cave has been discovered
there. which writer in the Farmvllle
NJ rcury tells about. After describing
several chambers, the account contln-
ues
eve had satisfied our curiosity and
were about to leave the cave, when be-
hind large rock, or rather a spur of the
main rock which formed the bottom, my
son discovered a larger passage than
any we had before seen. This we en-
tered, and after following some SIX or
seven feet merged into an apartment OF
immense size. The light of our torches
falling upon the stalactites revealed
scene of beauty which was talrly daz-
zling. The size of this apartment
cannot tell, as the roof and sides were
lost in darkness. We penetrated to
considerable distance, keeping close 10
one of the sides so that we might easily
fnd oar way back, and would have gone
farther but for finding in a recess, some
seventy feet from whAre We entered, ly-
ing directly under shelving rock, the
body of q man wrapped Ill some dlngy
cloth-like substance. We did not know
it was the body of man at first, and
" re not positive it was until We had
gotten it outside of the cave.
'' Mr.. Bovd discovered the body, and
when we moved it from under the rock
nv son found several large and beautl-
ful pebbles where the body had lain,
and a small round vessel some four
inches in diameter and about two inches
in height, shaped very much like an
ink-stand with handle this and the
stones or pebbles he put in his pocket.
| We took the body and at once went out
of the cave. The clothes with which it
was wrapped were very rotten, and when
we had laid thesbody down after leaving
! the cave, they had nearly all been rub
bed from it. What YeAa left crusnol .,
