Dear little Dick, curIel by nc fire,
sat watching the shadows c ne AMI 90,
As tie dancing funes Ie.,peI higher aud higher,
Flooding the rom with its yellow glow.
His chubby hand on his size was pressed,
Ami he turned ;og a moment d listening ear;
Mother cried he, I've got a watch!
feel 1t ticking isl, under here"
''Yes, Dick, lis watch that Col has made
To marx your hours Is they ay away;
He hollis the key .n his mighty hand,
And keeps II in order nirh. and dly-
''Shou.d he put aside the mystic key,
Or lay L.5 hand ON the tiny spring,
The wheels would stop and your watch run down,
And lie in your bosom a helpless thing"
He erept 70 my side, and whispered soft,
While his b.l.y voice had an awe-sti ucL sound,
81 wish you would ak him, mo,her dear,

II
eStins Account of the Proc CdinEs.
The experiments IN frIug the Sl-ron gun
at Shoeburyness. England, were continued
on the 81 INST The charge Of powder ON
this occasion WAS, as b+fo-e, $40 pounds
The cartridge was in the silk bag, as before,
with hollow tubing so constructed hat the
point of ignition should be in the center If
the powder, Il cOntriyancs-said to be a new
point-uhiuh, it is bell Eed. gives the whole
force Of the powder to the proiectile, instead
OF some being putfsI out Of he gun uuburued.
The fist prgj-otiIe fired was a shrapueI she'll :,
with i,s powder chamber unch4rged, weight
ei up TO l14O pounds, and bearing u muzzlr-
loaded fuse, the blowing charge being -four
ounces Of powder, i'll iact, to show whether
th,zuso woald catch the flame. The load
ing by baud was displaced this time in favor
of loading ty machinery, aud some little
timR,, spent over the loading: When the
, that nrcessary par. If the business had been
overlooked dGQ The
SHE'LL. HAD TO BE DRAWN OUT.
Such an occasion had been foreseen by com.
mi'tee Of 80 wide an experience rs this, and
then Use had to be made of the instrument
Protided for the purpose-the instrument
being one which, though constructed similar
to TN one i'll use for other guns, has au ar
rapgsSent by which it can be disengaged
from the head Of the pTojsctile while
it Is i'll the bore. The fuse having been
adjusted, the projsctIe was again rrm-
meSk kome. Captain Ellis, who commands
the gun detachment, set the gun at five de-
grees of elevation, aud gave The signal to fire
when the coast was clear. All who had the
chance, from beius on the sea side of the gun,
ran on 10 the sands TO watch the progress Of
the shell. The prujectile could be bo:A
heard ana seen. As the roar Of the gGn died
away, the shell made It's progress over the
water with the sound Of continued peal Of
thunder in the distance, broker nnly at the
Intervals when II made each rIcOchet- 4he
iarervI between It's leaving the gun and
/ : FIST blow on the water Was 10 SECONDS.
\ doubt arose whether the fuse IN this in

the magnanimity of dead-heading stump speakers
Every meeting had its brass band, and musicians
whether rural or metropolitan, require cash or
delivery for their notes. There were rent of halls
lights, and other proper incidental expenses, which
swallowed up large sum. But perhaps the
heaviest items were printing and postage. Tens
of thousands of documents were printed by the
committee and scattered ever the State, on every
ore of which the postage was paid, and have
seen 500 worth of stamps used in single day on
newspapers and pamphlets. Hundreds of tele-
grams passed every day between the State Com
mittee and the local leaders in the various towns,
all Of whichwcre paid for by the committee, and
required large sum. In these and other equally
honest ways all the money raised in New lamp
shire or out Of it was expended, and have seen
no reason to believe that the Democrats were not
equally honest in their expenditures. l affirm
from my positive knowledge as to the Republlcans,
and from my best information as to the Democrats,
that not nearly so much money has been used on
either side during this canvass as IN many prcyl-
Gus years. That few voters were bought on
each side is undoubtedly true; that the result was
in the slightest degree affected by these purchases
is as undoubtedly false, and a libel on the people
Of New Hampshire of all political opinions.
There Is one other matter concerning which a
word must be said. The supCrscry Ccablc Assis
tant Democrats have made and will make great
ado about the Republican committee bringing
home voters from distant points. In itself the
statement Is true, but 1t Is susceptible oil eNFIana
ton. First-Both parties 90 it, and happen to
know that each provided the same number Of
transportation blanks, and used them all. Second
1t is an immemorial custom for the citizens of
the State to return home every year to vote, no
matter where they may be- and, lastly, their return
costs neither party cent; for both parties make
arrangements with the railroad companies TO take
their certificates for the return, the voters them
selves paying full fare when coming, for, without
exception, they are men who vote IN the State
every year, and never vote anywhere else. But
thi, is what Assistant Democrats call importation
of bogus voters. 1t is even more of a lie and
Islander than their talk about bribery.
Every hour the victory becomes more magnih-
cent. The Republicans surely have nine SEN
ators possibly ten; certainly twenty FIVE majority
in the House; four Councillors, and perhaps the
other one. Cheney bias at least 1900, perhaps
600 majority, and the complete returns will not
change this result unless to m1gny the Rep'lI)ii-
can triumph.

Republican victory and diminish its effect by say

politicians the men Of New Hampshire, renowned
