IxrrREsrrsa AxAroxrcAL CASE

INTERESTING ANATOMICAL CASE
A gentleman by the name of De
Gowen Ian interesting foreign gen.
tlcman Of distinction) was watching
the coasters on Friday night, and in
advertently remarked that in the
forests Of Europe the south side Of q
tree was always softest the bark
being much thinner, as the heavy
storms generally coming from the
north, nature had clothed her chill
dren accordingly. A gentleman on
the track, by the name of Won
Elliott, German savant, thought to
the contrary, and to sustain his argu-
ment, offered to give De Gowen an
peculiar demonstration of the fallacy
Of his theory. To do this satisiac-
torily he mounted swift-running
sled, and to better dispel De Governs
illusion, he was assisted by Cuban
refugee, Senior Holmes. They started
and sped swiftly and safely until
they reached the post selected by De
Gowen to experiment upon. At this
point Won Elliott, confident of sue
cess, boldly thrust his head forward
and encountered the post; but, to his
great astonishment, found no soft or
yielding surface. As his heretofore
interesting phiz is now sadly de-
moralized, De Gowen is exultant,
and Won Elliott AYERS it was salts
factory success to--the doctor.

When things don't 60 to suit you,
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in fretting. a
But drive away that frowni
Since life is oft perpiexing,
Ills much the wisest plan
To bear all trials bravely, 8e
Aud smile whene'er you can.
Why should you dread tomorrow,
And thus dsspoil to-dayf m
For when you borrow trouble
You always have to pay.
It Is good old maxim, 9
Which should beeoften preached
Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached.
You might be spared much sighiag.
If you would keep in mind
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined.
There must be something wanting
And though you roll in wealth,
You miss from out your casket
The precious jewel-Aealth.
And though you're strong aud sturdy,
You may have an empty purse
And earth has many trials
Which consider worse @
But whether joy or sorrow ~
Fill up the mortal span,
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile whene 'er you can.

Mr.. Koykel, of Passaic City, N. J.
has for fourteen year past, in con-
nection with New York mechan-
ic, been at work on an invention
which promises to reVolutionize
ordnance. There was an exhibition
on Saturday of the gun in public.
The little one used Saturday looked
like a twelve-foot gas pipe, with q
half-inch bore, carrying a needle
shaped bullet. On the underside of
the gun are metallic pockets, filled
with as much powder as the load at
the breech. AS the gun is fired
these additional charges of powder
explode as the prOjectile passes
through the barrel, so that before
it gets out it receives the impending
force of each additional charge.
Being spread along the barrel, the
danger of an explosion is averted
and the force increased to a won
derful degree.
The first shot fred was through a
solid mass of monitor iron four
inches thick, which the projectile
pierced as though it was a pine
board, and buried itself several
inches in an oaken stump, against
which the iron had been placed.
Then a shot was fired at a target
composed of three-eighths-inch
plate iron securely securely strap
ped together. The bullet went
through this. One of these cannons
of six-inch bore, has been compile
ted and will be tested before Uni
ted States officers In q few weeks,
and it is estimated that it will send
a Dall from twelve to fifteen miles.
