BosroN IN GRIEF ABOUT LOSING THE Gu
NAaD SrzAMsH1rs. The Cunard Steamship
Company has concluded that it does not pay
to send their vessels to Boston. There is not
business enough. The company has had,
however the politeness to put this fact in the
least offensive shape possible and says the
high cost Of railroad freights on grain and
other products has compelled the withdrawal
of the steamers from the Liverpool and Boston
route and the transfer Of them to New York.

The ADJOURNMENT OF CoNGhrss Mr.
Edmunds called up his resolution yesterday
providing for the adjournment of Congress on
the 22d Of June and the Senate passed it
unanimously without discussion. 1t remains
to be seen whether the House will concur.
There is q great deal of work to be done, but
if Congress should set about doing it in earnest
a month ought to be long enough to finish all
that is necessary. The currency question will
be, probably, the greatest drawback AS
there seems to be little hope of an agree

ANOTHER Destructive FIRE m CONSTANTINE
PLE.--In Galata, q suburb of Constantinople,
q severe fire broke out on Monday night,
destroying about one hundred houses, mostly
occupied by Jews of the poorer sort. We
cannot but express our sympathy for the
unfortunate sufferers. These destructive fires
have Of late been more than usually frequent
in Constantinople. Pity that they are not
turned to better account No sooner are the
wooden shanties burned down than they are
replaced by others similarly combustible, and
thus 1t is that the work Of destruction goes on
from generation to generation, without any
lesson being learned or any improvement
made.

TIE REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH con-
cludedits council yesterday evening, in an
enthusiastic meeting for lay members. Several
important changes in the rubric and formula
relating to the holy communion were proposed
and agreed to. The feature Of the day was
the appearance in council of the Rev.
Stephen H. Tying. Jr., who was formally in
troduced by Bishop Cheney. Mr.. Tying adj
dressed the meeting as an outside friend and
sympathizer, and he assured the Council OF
the sympathy Of the Church and congrega-
ton Of the Holy Trinity, Of which he is pas
tor. 1t is quite manifest that Mr.. Tying will
not much longer fnd it possible to retain his
connection with the older Episcopal body.
His secession is only question Of time. Mr..
Tying in our. judgment, would act nobler
part if he joined the new body at once. He
is evidently battling between two opinions
and striving to serve two masters. As he
cannot love and serve both he ought to de-
eide at once. The Reformed Church is gain
ing ground Its next Council is to be held in
Chicago in May, 1875.

Oh, sweet and fair! oh, rich and rarei
= That day 20 long ago;
The autumn sunshine everywhere,
The heather all aglow.
The ferns were clad in cloth of gold,
The waves sang on the shore;
Such suns will shine, such waves will sing,
For ever, evermore.
Oh, fit and few! oh, tried and true!
The friends who met that day;
Each one the others spirit knew;
And SO in earnest play
The hours flew past, until at last
The twilight kissed the shore;
We said, aSuch days shall come again

One day again No cloud Of pain
A shadow DER US cast
And yet VIC stroye in vain, in vain,
To conjure UP the past;
Like, but unlike, the sun that shone,
The waves that beat the shore;
The words we said, the songs we sung,
Lke-unlike, evermore:
For guests unseen crept in between,
And, when our songs flowed free,
Sang discords in an undertone,
And marred the harmony

Though like the same, are not the saneS

BRITISH RAILWAY DISASTERS FOR
SEPTEMBER.

From London paper.
AS usual, the close Of the tourist
season presents a truly formidable
series Of railway disasters. Of these
there have been twenty-six, Of which
nine were collisions, and nine were
caused by trains leaving the rails
The Lancanshire & Yorkshire is. as
usual, pre-eminent in badness, and is
responsible for six "accidepts," five OF
which were collisions of a serious kind.
Iwenty-nine persons have been killed
from causes beyond their control, two
more lie in critical condition, nine
ty-seven have been more or less severely
injured, and upwards Of 120 have been
badly cut, bruised, or severely shaken.
The Irish railways, though poor and
few, generally enjoy an immunity
from disasters, but on this occasion
they contribute two. The great num-
ber Of instances Of trains leaving the
metals are probably due 70 the worn
out and uneven condition or djsplace-
ment Of the rails, owing to the heavy
traffic Of the season, which also
allows little time or opportunity
for repair. The collisions in ev-
cry case are the results of careless
ness, negligence, habitual want OF
punctuality and disregard Of rules.
How far these things are to be at.
tributed to worn out energies, ove1
work, and the deficiency of strict and
intelligent supervision on the part Of
the superior railway officials, is a
question In favor Of which there Is
much to be said. The frightful ca.
tastrophe at Thrope is the leading
feature Of the month. Twenty per.
sons killed on the spot, five death:
afterwards, and seventy-fve person:
so injured as to require medical treat
ment, is a disaster which in point O:
magnitude has hardly been equalec
in the annals Of railway misfortunes
The details are too recent to need re
counting.

ENGLISH IGNORANCE OF AMERICA

1t is we'll known that the English
are wonderfully ignorant of American
geography, but it is not often that
they confess it. Lord Roseberg, in a
recent speech in London, said that
che could walk up to map in the
dark aud put his finger on the site
of Cicero's villa, but if any one asked
him where San Francisco was he
should have to think twice." This
remark recalls to the table-talk editor
Of the Gentleman's Magazine a similar
remark Of Mr.. Golden. "These
men," said Golden, speaking Of Eng
lish ambassadors, and of the necessity
of turning them into commercial
travellers these men know where
the Ilissus is; but they know moth
ing ofthe Mississippi" ct was twen-
ty years ago. "Yet the Mississippi
could float all the navies of Europe
upon its bosom, and it took me half a
day to find the Ilissus when was in
Athens, and then I only found the
bed of the river. Half dozen wash
erwomen had damned up the Ilissus
to wash their clothes"

DIR. HOLMES ON PREACHERS AT
DEATH-BEDS,

The Springfield (Mass.) Union
says: DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes
is evidently a convert to the doctrine
of euthauasia, or the right of moribund
persons to the assistance of anesthet-
les in procuring a painless passage
out Of this life. In his recent address
before the Harvard Medical School,
the Doctor said it was the duty of the
physician to make dying for his pa
tient as nearly as possible like the
closing Of the eyes in sleep. "When,"
says he, "the end is evidently near,
it remains for the physician to claim
for his art the right of procuring a
painless passage out Of the world, so
| far as is practicable, for the patient
whom be can keep no longer in it.,
and without doing violence to the
proprieties of the closing scene; !; to con-
slider the physical process as one
which should be under his exclusive
direction" The spiritual adviser will
contest this claim, holding that where
the doctor has done all that he can
for the body the clergyman should
have chance to do something for the
soul, but in this controversy we pre-
sumo the patient would generally
side with the doctor. For the past
eighteen hundred years the priest
and the physician have, with tolera-
bic respect for each others claims,
shared sick humanity between them
and this proposal of Dr.. Holmes
virtually tv Danish the spiritual al.
wiser from the death-bed is another
sign Of the aggressive warfare Of sci
ence on religion in these days.

AMERICAS PRESENTS TO JAPa>

From the San Francisco Bulletin. Oct %
Several months have elapsed since
Gen. Meyers, of the Quartermaster's
Department, United States Army, and
Col. Lylord, Of the Ordinance De-
partment, were detailed by the Gov
ernment for special mission to Jap
an, as the custodians Of presents from
America to the Tenno. The presents
were composed for the most part Of
rifles and cannon of American manu-
tacture, and samples Of accoutre-
ments used in every branch Of the
army, and the object of our Govern
ment was to reciprocate a similar
courtesy extended by Japan several
years ago, when valuable and inter
esting curiosities were sent to Wash
ington by the highest officials of that
country. The action of the Japan
ese Government was the direct means
of stimulating trade between the
two countries in articles Of use and
ornament of japanese manufacture,
and it was presumed that the response
OF America would bring some manu-
featuring products to the favorable
notice Of the people of Japan, end
create new trade. The Tenno re-
ceived the accredited representatives
Of America with distinguished coa-
sideration, and returned grateful &C
acknowledgements tor the presents
through the appropriate diplomatic
channels. The two officers were al
lotted the apartments in the summer
palace of the Tenno occupied by the
Grand Duke Alexis, and could NOS
possibly have desired more hospitable
treatment that they received from n1 -
to last. The Ministers of the Tenno,
by his special order, gave the officers
a banquet Of regal magnifcence, &
which all the digni tarles, save the
Tenno, were present. The provisions
of monarchical etiquette, which con-
prehend a vast amount of respect to
rank, did not permit the presence Of
the Tenno at this banquet. But at
later date, upon the occasion Of q
banquet given by the United States
Minister, the Tenno attended and took
an active interest in the exercises
Several Of the Krupp guns and fez
of the other arms, among the Amer,-
lean presents, were satisfactorily test
ed in the presence Of the Emperor at
the grounds of the summer palace
The mission of the officers was a suc-
cess in every respect. Col. Lytord
arrived here yesterday by the ateam-
ct Japan, and will shortly proceed to
Washington. Gen. Meyers is making
a tour through Japanin company With
Alvinza Hayward, of this city, end is
not expected here for several weeks.

an EIGHTY TON Gun.
From tie London Doily TeLeqraDh.

fro" tie Lonelon Daily Telegraph.
1t may not be generally known
that the principle upon which all our
guns are now made is that discovered
by Col. Fraser. Briefly it consists Of
series Of coils, welded together il
such way that the grain of the iron
Is best: opposed to the explosive force
Of the powder, and encircling steel
tube, the interior Of which is riaed.
A long bar Of iron-say 8 inche,
square-previously prepared, is slow
ly drawn from a furnace, to a lencth
Of about 300 feet and wound into a.
double coil in the form of cylinder.
This is again heated, and placed be-
meath steam hammer, where it is
welded together by tremendous blows
which SO ehectuallydo their work that
a cylinder, capable of bearing the
greatest possible strain is formed at a .
comparatively trifing expense. Sew
eral of these coils being made, they
are placed in order upon long steel
tube which has been made in Sheffield,
and the weapon is finally turned out
at an average cost of about ESQ ton,
as against the sum of ESQ at Krupp's
factory in Essen. Upon this princi-
pie, then, it is resolved to construct
an eighty ton gun, which should be
able to pierce 20 inches Of iron at
distance Of a thousand yards, with a
shot Of 800 pounds in weight, and
by the aid Of 300 pounds of powder.
The length Of this magnificent piece
Of artillery was fixed at p feet, its
diameter at the trunnion 6 feet, and
at the muzzle 16 inches, inside meas
urement. It was calculated that
such gun would be able to deliver
its mischief-working missile at a
distance Of nearly ten miles, and that
it would, at the same time, be easily
placed in the turret of war ship or
The embrasure Of a battery, and
worked quickly and without difficulty.
OF course there were many difficulties
in the way Of the construction of such
weapon. No steam hammer such
as that which Krupp possesses at
Essen was to be found in England
no forges were built large enough for
such a tremendous cheat - no cranes
were in position to hoist such
weight. But all these difficulties
were speedily overcome by the skillful
officials at Woolwich. The forges
were built, huge steam hammer Of
10 tons weight, with double action
arrangement, and striking power Of
nearly 1000 tons, made, and very
soon all was in readiness to begin the
construction Of the great gun. Curl
ously enough, His Majesty the En-
peror Of Russia was the first one to
see one Of its coils welded, and since
that time the work has been gradual
ly going On, till now the steel tube,
the breech-piece, one coil, and the
trunnion are finished so that it is
certain that by June next the gun
will be ready for trial. 1t will then
consist Of the following parts: A
tough steel tube inside, weighing
nearly 16 tons, and measuring about
"a feet in length a breech-piece coil
- feet in length; one central, anoth-
er coil nearer the muzzle, and the
trunnion coil. The cascabel through
which the fire from the friction-tube
is communicated to the cartridge in
side the gun is Of steel, and immensely
strong.
