Glad at all times 10 give "hono1

. We record the testimony universally
borne of the remarkable kindness
TO and consideration for the fleeing

whose name heads this article. So
that while in no way attempting or
intending to detrac one iota from
the merits of others on that occasion,
it is our pleasing duty to say en-
phatically that Mr.. Herwig was the
"pood Samaritan" on the occasion.
With q grave emergency unex-
pectedly precipitated on his hands,
taxing the brains Of the most fer
tile in resource, he quietly, and no,

A New MitraiIleuse.


Taylor's new battery gun was tested
recently near Hartford, Conn. The in
ventor is James Patton Taylor, Of Ten
nessee. It is claimed that in simplicity,
compactness, and rapidity of firing it
excels any mitrailleuse or Calling gun
before invented. It's barrels are twenty
four in number, and are arranged in
two concentrie circles-eight in the in
ner and sixteen in the outer. They are
also regulated so as to radiate their fire,
covering a horizontal line of twenty-five
feet at a distance of five hundred yards.
This would bring down every man in a
column standing within this boundary.
The barrels project from combination
of breech cylinders which safely inclOse
all the internal mechanism and protect
it efectually from dust, dirt, or damp
ness. The gun fires with great rapid
aty and IN two modes, viz. by fusilade
or by volley, at the pleasure of the
operator The cartridges are fed into
the barrel from suitable charging cases,
which are introduc d into the interior
of the breech cylinders,
The test was made In the presenca of
journalists and others. The results
were astonishing. In firing q single
barrel at q distance of five hundred
wards bullets were repeatedly sent into
an eight-inch bulPs-eye. In firing the
fusilade the twenty-four balls were dis
tributed on horizontal surface twenty
two feet long at a distance of a foot
apart, and firing by the battery tine
same results were accomplished. The
rapidity of the fire was remarkable, be-
ing at the rate of seven hundred balls
per minute All present we're convinced
that the gun was the most formidable
light arm weapon of war yet invented.

a Care "a q oorpse.

BuCkIngh ham county has sensation. A
wonderful cave has been discovered
there, which writer ia the Farmville
Mercury tails abont. Altar describing
several chambers, the account contin-
ues:
: & We had satisfied our curiosity and
we're about to leave the cave, when be
hind large rock, OF rather spur of the
main rock which formed the bottom, my
son discovered q 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 fairly daz-
zliDg. The size Of TINS apartment I
cannot tell, as the roof and sides we're
lost IN darkness. We penetrated to a
considerable distance, keeping close to
one Of the sides so that we might easily
End our way back, and would have gone
farther but for finding In a recess, aome
seventy feet from where We entered, ~
ing directly under shelving rock, the
body of u man wrapped ii some dingy
elOth-like substance. We did not know
it was the body of man at first, and
re not positive it was until We had
gotten Il outside of the cave.
LsoYu QlStDFELEL El6 DOuNs anu
when va moved it from under the rock
my son found several large and beauti-
fu1 pebbles where the body had lain,
and small round vessel some four
inches in diameter and about two inches
in height, shaped very much like an
inlz-stand with a 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 1t
was wrapped were very rotten, and when
we had laid theI body down after leaving
the cave, they had nearly all been rub
bed from it. What were left crumDled
like burnt paper.
eve brushed the body clean and
found it to be the dried up remains of a
man who had evidently been of more
than ordinary size, for 1 found i to be
by actual measurement five feet nine
inches in length. It is dried and with
cred something like dried meat, only
the skin is tightly drawn over it. Tt is
hard to the touch, and wherever there
is a wrinkle it is hard like parchment.
. It is impossible to form any idea of
what color the man was or what his fea-
lures were like. The body now is sort
of smoky color, and the hair, though
there is very little of it, is intensely
black. On the second finger Of each
hand and on the thumb of the right
were large square rings, round on the
inside to fit the finger. These rings
and the small vessel 1 have referred to
were evidently composed of gold, with
large quantity of some kind of alloy
which gave them very peculiar appear
ance. ff -
eve took the body to my house,
! where il is now. When we arrived with
it there, my son bethought him of the
pebbles he had found, and showed them
to us. There are seven in all five are
richly colored and unlike anything else
I have seen. The other two, think,
are diamonds they possess in a very
high degree the powers of rejection and
refraetion, and are about the size of a

is one man who has struck a more sure
death-blow to intemperance, and that
man is DR.. Walker, an old California

popular as a compromise between strong
drink and cold water, and does away
with the mania for drink, and in reality
cultivates an involuntary disgust for
the same. It even does more: 1t acts
upon the entire physical system, puri-
ies the blood, and produces hale, hardy
health. The discoverer of this great
medicinal stimulant is surely entitled
to the thanks of whole nation, and it
is not extravagant to entitle him ''a sec
