A Monster Gun.

A London paper gives the result of the trial
of an enormous gun, which was eminently
satisfactory, notwithstanding the opinion
entertained by many that the maximum OF
heavy metal had been exceeded in its manu-
facture, and that the eighty-one ton 'infant"
would burst in front Of the proof butts. The
bore is at present only fourteen and halt
inches in diameter, and the walls of the gun
are consequently much thicker than they will
be when the tube is bored out to a size of six
teen inches, while the strain upon the gun
will necessarily be increased by every adiition
to the powder charge, which it is proposed
gradually to Augment up to 300 pounds. This
is 60 pounds more than has yet been fired, but
the strain has been carefully calculated and
provided for with little margin of endur-
ance to spare. So well has experience quail
fed the officials to calculate results, that the
velocity attained by the untried gun in its
first round was foretold to be 1890 feet per
second, and it proved to be 1898 feet. The
gun is not to be fred any more in its present
state but it has many more trials in store
It's whole lifetime will, indeed, be probably a
series of trials, for while its sister guns are
being manufactured TO go on service in the
iron-cad feet, this, the original gun, will
be devoted to experiments tor the good Of
science.

The Magnificent Funeral Of the FayOrite
Daughter of the Khediye.
COLOGNE Gazette


The Princess Hanum Zsinub-only fife en-
years OF age-a favorite daughter of the khe.
dive of Egypt and wife of Ibrshim Pasha,
died recently in Alexandria of typhus fever,
following shortly after her confinement. The
Khedive and his family, as well as his guest
the Sultan Of Zanzibar and the whole city OF
Alexandria, were much disturbed by the sad
event, and the theater was closed for three
days. The body was taken to Cairo the same
day and placed in the Kasir-el Nil palace. An
immense concourse followed the body to the
depot in Alexandria and hundreds of thou
sands Of lire were distributed among the poor
people.
The interment took place in the Rilah
mosque on the following morning. Twenty
four bullocks, thirty camels and twenty wagons
were in the funeral procession. These ami
mails were laden with bread, dates, cooked
meats and vegetables; the wagons carried
casks of water and of syrup, and all along the
route distribution of the provisions was made
to the poor. Eunuch's, meantime, threw
45O, 600 pieces Of silver coin to the people
who thronged the street. Three thousand
priests, some clad in rich vestments of gold
and silk, others half naked, followed the
wagons, repeating prayers as they
marched, and clapping their hands. At
ter them came the family OF the
poor young IrincesS anu Tug eiioioi'
of state, and then the coffin, borne
by officers of rank. Behind this walked three
eunuchs, bearing on golden shovels copies OF
the Koran, to be buried with the deceased.
The coffin was of simple, rough-hewn wood,
and the corpse was sewn up IN linen CLOTH
Upon the coffin were placed the jewels of the
Princess, worth million and half dollars.
After the burial the priests slaughtered the
twenty-four bullocks before the mosque,
roasted them and ate them up. The priests
remained for seven days in the neighborhood
of the grave to pray for the soul of the de-
parted. The Khedive was so overcome with
grief that he could not receive any visits OF
coincidence.

A Centennial Chess Game.

An ingenious Swedish wood-carver has hi
on a way of applying the game of chess to po-
litical and religious controversy. This artist,
whose name is Oestergren, aud who is ma
tive of the obscure town of Westerns, in Swe-
den, is making ready tor the forthcoming
Philadelphia exhibition set of chessmen in.
ten ied to typity the struggle of opinion now
going on in Germany. On the one side the
Emperor is the king, the Empress Augusta
the queen, Prince Bismarck and the Miuister
of Public Instruction, Herr Falk, the bishops;
the knights are uhlans, and the pawns recruit S
of the landwehr. Their adversaries are the
Pope, of course, as king, while an abbess fig
ures as queen; the bishops are cardinals;
monks mounted on asses represent the
knights, and the pawns are monks on foot.
This is not the first happy hit of the artist.
Last winter in the Upsala exhibition he ex-
hibited chess game, in which the pieces
represented the chief actors in the Franco
Prussian war

GREENBAcK FARE.-In comment
ing upon our article in reference to
Qreenback fare on the C. p. road, the
"Silver State" VIM mucca, says:
An item appeared in the Lyon
County Times" Of the 28th instant,
relative to coin and greenback fares
on the Central Pacific Railroad.
That journal stated, upon informa-
ton received from California
LAWYER, that the railroad company
were not demanding coin rates for
fares to the East; and that an order
had been promulgated to agents and
conductors from headquarters to ac-
cept greenbacks if they were ten
dered." Somewhat anxious to ascer-
tain if the :. Times was correct. We
called upon w. H. Welch, Railroad
Agent here, and asked the fare to
Omaha and other Eastern cities. Mr..
WEIGH replied by giving the amount
to each place, payable in currency.
We then asked if he made any de-
duction if it was paid in coin. He
replied that fares and freights to all
points East are on greenback basis,
and that when a man pays coin he is
allowed its full value in greenbacks.
This satisfied us that, so far as this
station is concerned, the lawyers in
formation was not authentic, and that
persons purchasing tickets here for
the Atlantic States do not have to
pay greenback rates in gold. The
Central Pacific have sins enough to
answer for without charging them
with those of which they are not
guilty.
The above goes to corroborate the
statement made Us by the California
lawyer. Why, then, does not the
c. P. publish the fact, so that it may
be generally knownl

FaIEND NORTON:
l was in Bogota, the capital of the
United States Of Colombia, eleven
days. 1t is strange old city
Spanish in every part, except some
new Improvements made by Englisl,
and Americans, but, you can bet, at
the expense Of the Columbians; .
city Of $4,000 to 10000 inhsbitants,
ON a plain 50 by IS miles square, or
nearly SO; very level, and $500 feet
above the sea. The plain 10 Dor
.dered by a range Of mountains, from
500 to 5000 feet above Its level. The
plain 10 we'll watercd, and all cult.
waited by lazy get Of farmers;
buildings all stone and brick, one to
four stories high, and rooted with
tiles. Plenty Of women, all pretty,
mostly very dark, but some quite
white. They dress in black, no hats,
with black shawl over the head.
The men are much like other men.
This is Bogota.
There 10 six to ten small papers
published in Bogota, but I do not
think there would be q chance for
printers to make . living there, for
typos can't make over g per week.
From the looks of the people do
not think they have any editors.
This is hard country to live in
without money; in fact it il inpos-
sible to do anything here without
money to start on, for there is no
middle class-a man is either bust
ness man or peon.
Nearly all Americans here fall by
brandy, rum or auguardiente, but l
know you do not drink, so you would
not make that mistake. / cannot
advise anybody to come here until
they have money or a business to
make them independent of the
people. There is little war here
just now, but it will not last long.
l like the country and l like the
people, if they are little black or
dark. They are kind, and they don't
expect OF ask all the money man
has for little favor. Regards to all
friends. Yours, CONNER.

PrrER's OpERA HOUSE CoxPANY'

PIPERs OPERA HOUSE COMPANY
This company appeared last night at
Armory Hall to a large and most ap-
precistive audience. The perform
,ance consisted of the great drama Of
/" Uncls Toms Cabin" To particu-
lssiss among the various acton would
he wrong where all did 90 nobly.
Little Dorritt, Is "Eva," cannot be
surpassed; for child We don't Know
that We ever saw her equal. The
. Topsy Of Miss Annie Firman was
an artistic piece Of negro dclineation,
and although necessarily boisterous,
was in no way vulgar, the lady never
for once forgetting that she was .
lady. John Jack, as "Uncle Tom,"
was great, and played the part to
perfection. Mrs. Douglas, in tho
dual character of Eliza" and
F" Cassie" displayed the great powers
she possesses a. trsgedienne Of the
greatest talent. Mr.. Ashton played
the parts Of St. Clair and Lagree adj
mirably, making the complete change
in the characters 80 that it was inn
possible to recognize the same man
in the two parts. The other charac-
tiers in the piece were all enacted
truly by the various actors and &C.
tresses to whom they were allotted.
On Wednesday night this talented
company will present before the
citizens of Silver City the splendid
dramatization of the great " Ledger
story of the Hidden Hand" with
the full company in the cast. This
Tuesday, evening the company will
appear at Odeon Hall, Dayton, pre-
senting "Uncle Toms Cabin" We
sincerely hope that they will meet
with the success that the talent of
the company and the peculiar cir
cumstances under which they are
now appearing deserve.
