IT was thought not many months ago that
an S1-ton gun, constructed for England, was
the ne plus ultra of enormous ordnance, but
the Italian government, taking sudden start
in competition, commissioned Sir William
Armstrong to construct a 100-ton gun, the
powers of which were tested last month at
Spezzia, port on the Mediterranean, and
the result of the numerous experiments was
that vessels are virtually incapable of carry
ing the thickness of armor necessary to resist
penetration by such artillery as this. More
over, England is entertaining the idea OF
having 2OO-ton gqpsl At spezzia thickness
of twenty-five inches of iron armor was com
pletely pierced by shot from the S1-ton gun,
and like thickness of steel armor, though
not pierced, was so shattered that the plate
was destroyed. Two immense iron-clads,
ordered for the Italian navy, are to carry a
belt of thirty-six inches in armor, with we'll
protected turrets, but it is anticipated that
they would have no chance if hit by direct
shot from 200, or even 150ton gun.

A book of Mrs. Browning's Earliest Poems is
being brought cut in London by man named
Shepard. The poems are those Mrs. Browning
deliberately excladed i'll editing her works for
complete publication; among them being that
youthful translation of the Prometheus which,
Mrs. Browning said to her friends, in a pre-
face, 81 have replaced by an entirely new
version, made for them and my conscience, in
expiatioa of sin of my youth, with the SINGER

the forthcoming volume of the Encyclopedias
Britannica will contain critical study of his
comedies and the quality of his wit. from the
dramatic point of view. upon which, since
Macaulay's famous essay, there has been much

AN important addition has been recently
made, the Athen@um announces, to the
Egyptian antiquities in the British Museum,
and it is no less interesting to the student OF
Greek and Roman history than to the Egyp-
tologist. 1t is the body of Tyre made OF the
shell of a land,tortoise covered with leather.
The shell of the tortoise can be seen through
hole in the leather. This is unique ex-
ample of the Tyre of the Egyptian Thoth--
the Greek Hermes; also of thesecond Hermes,
son of Zeus and Maia, who (according to the
Hymn to Hermes) stole the oxen of Apollo.
The story of the eallier deity is, that he was
walking along the banks of the Nile, after
the inundation had subsided, and accident
ally kicked the shell of dead tortoise, OF
which the flesh had been rotted away by the
heat of the sun, and only the sinews re-
mained: therefore the shell brought forth a
musical sound, and it suggested to him the
formation of the Tyre.

The Philadelphia Press hopes the Piesi-
dental salary question has now been finally
disposed of. While it remarks that fifty
thousand dollars now are no more than twen-
ty in the days of Washington it contrasts and
commends our economy in this respect with
the custom in Europe. The Russian Emperor
receives $500, 900 yearly; the Sultan of Tur-
key, $8,5OO,O00; the Emperor of Austria,
S3,950,OOO; Victor Emanuel, S3,250, 900; King
Wilhelm of Prussia, S3,1O0,000; Victoria, in
Guiding all family allowances, S2,6O0,oO0
and President Mcmahon, $152, 1000.

, SENATOR MORTON, in discussing the prog
ress of the Investigations going on in the
Southern States Of the recent Presidential
election, is reported to have said that he did
not see anything thus far to warrant the
Democrats in taking comfort, or any cause to
make the Republicans feel concerned about
the event. 'When the whole testimony is
in and everything is KNOWN" he said, ''it
will be.enough to blow the Democratic pre-
tensions to success sky high, and will show
such state Of things as will set the Ameri-
can people to thinking. The Democratic
Senators are already disgusted with the Ore
gon case as it has been shown up in the Sem
ate, as is evidenced in only few of them
attempting 10 defend it. Notwithstanding
their talk the Democrats know il is all over
with them and their Presidential candidate"

IT Is curious parody on the condition of
the Sick Man to find Russia hesitating to be-
gin war because Turkey has twice as many
troops on the Danube as can be mustered
along the Russian frontier. The Sick Man
may be very sick, but his disease appears to
take the similitude of an eplleptic fit, during
which the patient has half dozen times his
normal strength,

THE cotton crop just gathered is somewhat
smaller than that of last year. The fibre is
represented as being very clean and of good
quality. Worms and other enemies have not
been so troublesome as usual, and the season
is represented as being remarkably favorable.
Although prices have declined, the crop will
bring large amount of money into the
South, and prepare for prosperous times.
The Portland daily press., 1876-12-30

The point is made by Democrats that the
Louisiana Investigating Committee is taking
evidence which will react against Tilden.
They say that nothing is 10 be gained by
proving that there was intimidation on both
sides. The reason is that under the Louisi-
aha election law the Returning Board is
compelled to reject any poll where intimida-
tion is proved to have existed. If, therefore,
Morrison proves that in some precincts Re-
publican negroes intimidated Democratic
negroes, he will prove that under the Louisi-
ana law the vote in such precincts should be
rejected. Morrison claims to have proved
this as to the Orleans parish, but it happens
that in this parish no polls were rejected by
the Returning Board. This course II pur-
sued would deprive the Democrats of their
majority in several strongly Democratic par.
ishes

CREATING two governments is a favorite
Democratic custom. The Democrats started
an opposition government to the United
States between 1860 and 1865, but General
Grant broke il down hence it is very natural
for them to elect rebel against the regular
government in South Carolina, and to imi-
tate the same bad example in Louisiana.

THE Brooklyn Eagle, which paper was
among the ablest and most influential of Til
den's supporters, rejects the doctrine that one
branch of Congress has the constitutional
authority to object to the Electoral vote of
any State and throw it out. The Eagle ex-
presses itself in this way:
If Congress is not moved and guided by high
er and !oftier patriotism than has yet mani
tested itself among the people, as a whole,
congress can do nothing but embroil the ex ist-
ing situation. The so called Twenty-second
Rnle-about which politicians of late SO earn
estly Vrangled-in our opinion was devised to
make fraud easy, for it is a monstrous peryer-
sion OF the forms of our Government to claim
that either House of Congress has the power to
throw out the vote of a State of this Union
under any pretext, after the constituted au :
tnorlties OF that State have certified the result
we believe this is the Democratic theory, ard
we propose to stand by it, in dark and troub-
LED times Just as we have upheld it in the bet
Ter days when the assumption of judicial DOW
ers by political legislative bodies would have
been universally condemned.
