our feet long, used as target, showed the
bullet marks along the board, at such reg
ular intervals that had there been a line of
twenty-iOur men standing in front of the
target not one could have escaped death
RepetitiOns of the running fire brought
the the same results, and then in conclu>
sion the lever was brought into requisition,
and the twenty.iOur SHELLS were simulta-
ueOusly exploded, aud, as before, the bull
let- wer" regularly distributed on the hor-
iZoutal surface. 1t was evident to all that
the yum ,uu,d do anything desired, the
rapdity ~ iiymg depending entirely upon
the ceierty o. the Sunners. -Ns fast az the
cartrIdgc-Cases can he placed in position,
the twenty-fpur bullets can be discharged, ,
and there was no douot among the specta
tors that 500 shots per minute could be
fired en- JHSiYdRe, and 500 per minute by
battery. II is, of course, entirely unnec-
essary to descant upon the tremendous eff
feet Of such weapon in battle. Charging
columns could not live before it a minute,
but would be fairly mown down, rank af-
ter rank, n the rate of Il regiment Il min
ute. There seems to be no doubt that for
terrible destructiveness the gun stands un-
riVaed. In appearance, with its bundle
of steel harrals and its polished brass
breech, the gun is II beauty, and as a piece
of mechanism is highly creditable to the
Colt Company.
The inventor of this wonderful weapon
is Col james p. Taylor, of Knoxville,
Tennessee, a son of the Hon. y. G. Tay-
lor, who is "a prominent politician of Ten
nessee, and was Commissioner of Indian
Affairs under President johnson. Cot.
Taylor is still young man and a notice
ably quiet ana uuassuming gentleman.
His great invention was conceived in
1870, and patented July 4th, 1871, and
since its invention has passed, under the
COlone's direction, through many grada-
tions of improvement, being greatly SIM
rlitied in the process, until now the ma
ciIinery is mostly all gone and the gun
only is left; but that is enough, Judging
by tO-day's test.
A joint stock company for the intro
ductiOn and sale of the gun has been
formed, having the principal office at
Knoxville, Tennessee, and now that the
Invention is perfected the Colt Company
Remington IL Co. and other parties are
making estimates ns to their cost, and
one of them will soon commence manu-
featuring them, and steps will bs taken
for their introduction in this country and
among the European governments. There
can he no doubt of the great success of
the invention and of the company inter-
estcd in it.

January p, ls7l.l
The new Taylor Battery Gun, which has
been in process of manufacture at Colts
armory for some past, under the direction
of the inventor, Col. James j. Taylor, Of
Knoxville, Tennessee, was publicly tested
to-day on the Meadows below the armDry,
in the presence of a number of interest
ed gentlemen, representatives of the press
and others. Brief notices of the gun and
its wonderful execution have been made,
but before proceeding to an account Of
the test that general description rs given
by the inventor may be of interest.
Like the European mitraileuse this
battery gun employs the fasces-like bun
die of barrels, arranged in two concentric
circles, supported at their mu2zlcs by u
circular disc, through which they project,
said disc being cast solid upon two lat
eral arms, which are simply longitudinal
sections or combinations of the front
breech cylinders. These barrels ut their
breech are screwed into another disc which
| fits into the said front cylinder and are
arranged at slight angles so as to distribute
| their shot in n horizontal line of twenty
two feet in length at n distance of 800
| yards, placing the balls at regular inter-
walls of one foot at that range. The barrels
are n IN number; Two or theSe lying on
the vertical center line of the gun are not
angulatcd but point straight forward, and
| may be used exclusive of and separate
| from the rest when it is desired to shoot at
any single object, as instance at one man.
| The object of the horizontal radiation of
the 22 remaining barrels, is to cover n
group or collection of objects, rs for exam
! pie section of a column of men in line of
battle. The caliber is 42-l00, but the in
vention is adaptable to any caliber from
| 42l00 to full inch. The brcech mechau-
ism and arrangements are exceedingly
| simple, consisting of an outer rotating
| cylinder or jacket, supported by the front
| breech-cylinder, aad containing the lock
| cylinder, and cascabel. Thorough this
jacket and through the front breech-cylin-
der, just behind the breech-dise, is II slot
sufficiently large to admit cellular case,
| the compartments or cells of which con
| tain each cartridge, and correspond in
number and position to the barrels. This
slot, when the gun is To be charged, is
open for the free introduction OF the cart
ridge case by reason of the rotating, jacket
| (Which makes only third OF a revolution, J
being turned TO certain position, but
| is completely closed after the Introduction
| of the charge by the Jacket being reversed.

Sensation Of Starving.

For the first two days through which II
strong and healthy man is doomed to exist
upon nothing, his sufierings are, perhaps,
more acute than in the remaining states
he feels an inordinate, unspeakabe craving
at the stomach, night and day. The mind
runs upon beef, bread and other substan-
tials, but still, in great measure the body
retains its strength. On the third and
fourth days, but especially on the fourth,
this incessant craving gives place to Il
sinking and weakness of the stomach, ac-
companied 10y a nausea. The unfortunate
sufferer still desires food, but with loss of
strength he loses that eager craving which
is felt in the earlier stages. Should he
chance to obtain n morsel or two of food
he swallows it with woltish avidity, but
five minutes afterwards his siIfierings are
more intense than ever. He feels as if he
had swallowed "a living lobster, which is
clawing and feeding upon the very founda-.
tion of his existence. On the fifth day his
cheeks suddenly appear hollow and
sunken, his body aitenuated, his color
is ashy pale aud his eye wild, CLASSY, can
nibalish. The different parts of the sys.
tetl now war with each other. The stom .
ach calls upon the legs to 20 with it l. n
quest of food the legs. from very veal :

increased suffering, although the pangs of
hunger are lost in an Overpowering Ia n
guor and sickness. The head becou aes

We learn through the papers that sever
al new railroad projects are being agitated
ia different PORTIONS of the country, all
having Knoxville for their objective point.
We rcmemher 10 have told the readers Of
the POst "a far back as 40 that some day or
pthet Knoxville would be great railroad
centre. We remember, too, that some of
our friends up that way then rdiculed and
laughed M the suggestion, aud swOre they
didu't want any ythIng better than the Hol-
ston river and the wagon trade of the side

lhe women Of ohio are wHging an ef-
fectiVe warfare on the sale of Intoxicating
liluors. In Franklin, Warren county.
they have held series Of meetings In .Le
churches, and finally delegation of forty
four women visited the saloons and bar
rooms in pairs, entrealing the Keepers to
give up the business, aud singing and pray :
ing where they were permitted t0'do so.
This assault proved irresistible. The pro-
prietors could not Withstand such an Mt
tack. The example OF these women has
proved contagious and the women OF other
places are adopting similar tactics with like
results. Intemperance lays its worst bur
,dens upon the shoulders of women. and no
woman who has experienced the drgrada-
ton and agony in her own life, or with essed
it in another's, hut should set her fsce like
1iut against custom that has inflicted in
conceivable misery upon InilliOus,aD may

could easily be got rid Of IL the women Of

A Randolph County Horror.

Elijah Mcconnell, a citizen of
Winchester, who has been engaged
in the confectionery and whisky
selling line, has just been arrested
on a charge of incest, alleged to
have been committed with his
married daughter, Mrs. Seagrave.
Mcconnell was arrested on COM
plant of the woman. The entire
community is frozen with horror in
contemplation of the awful crime
with which Mcconnell is charged,
and public opinion is divided in
regard to the question of his guilt.
The circumstances attending the
charge are seriously complicated.
and it is equally difficult to arrive
at conclusion of either guilt or
innocense, without violence to
probabilities. While Mcdonnell has
been known as ''coarse" man his
reputation has never been that of a
icentious man. Beyond the fact
of his being engaged in the liquor
trade nothing has heretofore been
alleged against him. The com
planning witness-a young, modest
and rather good looking woman
has always borne good character,
while the husband, who lives in
Grand county, has always been
regarded as harmless but weak
minded man. It seems almost i'm.
possible that q woman like Mrs.
Seagrave should bring false
charge of this kind against her
own father, but, on the other hand,
o letter from Seagrave, offering to
compromise for $4,000, looks like
q conspiracy to extort blackmail
But in any event, whether true o,
false, it is a case which would
justify suicide on the part of the

A bachelor thus impeaches wo
man: I impeach her in the name of
the great whale of the ocean, whose
bones are torn asunder to enable
her to keep straight. I impeach
her in the name of the peacock,
whose strut without his permission
she has stealthily and without hon
or assumed. I impeacll her in the
name of the horse, whose tail she
has perverted from its use to the
making of wavy tresses to decorate
the back of the head and neck I
impeach her in the name of the
kangaroo, whose beautiful figure
she, in taking upon her the Grecian
bend. has brought into illfavor and
disrepute.
