Tremendous Artillery.

A London letter of Sept. % says !:
The eighty-one-ton gun was fired yes
terday at Shoeburyness for the first time
WITH it's service charges and projectiles.
The effect of the first shot was curious I;
there were two explosions, one from the
vent, the other from the muzzle OF the
gun. The sound to those who stood
near was not so painful as had been ex-
pected, but the conclusion at greater
distance was remarkable. Many win
dows were broken in the officers quar-
tiers and in the village near by the
plate-glass window of shop $50 yards
distant was broken, and the paddock of
an iron gate was fractured by the shock.
The gun stood on heavy railway, with
IN incline OF one in thirty, and with an
allowance of eighty feet for recoil. The
first shot fred was four feet long, and
the gun was given an elevation of seven
degrees, The gun was fred by cleo
tricity. The shot flew with remarkable
steadiness. 1t touched the ground at
$500 yards, in lib seconds, throwing
up pile of mud; then it went bounding
along for several miles, until it at last
buried itself in the channel The recoil
of the gun was only twenty-one feet,
and the officers were delighted. Great
difficulty was experienced in keeping
vessels out of the line of fire. There
were seven shots in all. The last two
were fred with the gun depressed so as
to strike the ground at 1000 yards dis
lance and both of these shots entered
the ground at precisely the same place,
showing that the gun can throw with
great precision.

How Custer Was Killed.

Mr.. Angus Macdonald, of Colville,
has arrived down from tour in North
ern Montana and the Rocky mountains.
He says that much smoldering excite
ment prevails in the minds of the int
rior Indians concerning the Sioux war.
The Sioux had reported to their camps
that they had killed since the war began
up TO the middle of July 400 or 500 men.
Big Rain was the chief who killed Gus
ter, but his body was not mangled be-
cause he was clad in hunters leather
suit, whence they took him to be some
brave accidental stranger out with the
troops. While Gen. Custer was running
his second man through the body with
his sword, he was shot by Big RAIN, the
Sioux chief, in the head. MIR. Macdon-
aid thinks that whatever help the United
States troops achieve from auxiliary In
dams is, in the long run, undermined by
the bad impression it leaves on the In
dams mind of the imbecility, treachery
and want Of fair power on the part of
the white man to whip him. Victoria

THE LITTLE FOLKS.

Little Mischief.
Little Master Mischief
Lives in Neliie's eye,
Sitting in the corner,
Peeping out 40 sly:
Now he's crossed the snow-ground
And in chamber blue.
Thinking he is hidden,
Peek-a-boos at you.
Now he drops the curtain,
Sure that he Is hid,
BHt you see him dancing
Even on the lid.
Now, the curtain lifting,
You can see he's crept
TO the inner chamber,
Where the love-ight slept.
Watching now his moment
He pops out, and see
Mammals spools and th;mble
Quickly disagree.
Shall We punish Mischief?
Better teach the child
How to hold and lead him,
Running now 30 wild.
Would she Like her playthings
Scattered here and there.
When she had arranged them?
Would she think it far?
Would she like her puzzle,
Portions Of it. lost
Would she like her dishes
Everywhere up-tos sed?
Would she like her apron
witE missing string,
Mamma hunting, meanwhile,
Thread and everything?
Nellie, learn the lesson
Be to Others tru--
Always do az You would
Have them do TO you.
This the dear Lords precept-
This the Golden Rule
This the highest lesson
In our Neilie's school.
