A Formidable War Engine.

The L. S. torpedo-boat Alarm, now
lying at the navy-yard, has an arma-
ment consisting of one fifteen-inch
Dahlgren gun, rugged to fire from the
bow; four Calling guns that are rugged
on the rail and can be shifted from side
to side in less than one minute, and
three torpedo bars, one on each side of
the bow and one running out of the
Prov, which extends forty feet ahead
of the bOw-twenty-tiv feet of it be-
ing under the surface of the water.
The Prov is so constructed that it can
be used as "a ram when necessary, and
is formed of iron four and six inches
thick, in such form that it is perfectly
buoyant, and instead of tending to
drive the vessels bow nose under
heavy sea, has stronger tendency to
keep it free. The two bow torpedo
bars are each fifteen feet in length,
and are so arranged that they can be
run inside of the vessel to ship the tor
pedos, and run out again to discharge
them. They pass through the side Of
the vessel in water tight sleeve, about
three feet below the water line, and
the orlllceS being filled with water
tight valves there is no fear of any flow
of water from the outside. The Prov
torpedo bar is worked in the same
manner as the others, but can be run
out twenty feet beyond the point of
the Prov, so that the torpedo will ac-
tnally be discharged sixty-five feet
from the bow of the vessel. The guns
and torpedoes can be fired by electric
ity, governed by a keyboard in the
pilot-house, and the battery is strong
enough to discharge the gun and ex-
plode the torpedo simultaneously. The
latter can also be exploded by con-
cussion. Both gun and torpedo bars
can be operated wholly by steam if re-
quired, and so instantaneous is the APP
plication that much time is saved over
the old method of working everything
by hand. Each of the Calling batter
les is capable of firing 400 discharges in
minute ". Y. Commercial.

of Savior, and they managed to keen
before the country continuously for nearl,
six months. This man had always been !.
Democrat, and entered the Cabinet by the
personal preference and confidence of the
President, without ever having Deen con.
nected with the Republican party.
1t is impossible now to fix the cost of all
these investigations. | have heard M
estimate putting it at less than half
million of dollars. Investigations set an
foot for the purposes of truth, justice and
the punishment of crime are praiseworhv
and useful; but when they are used as
methods of electioneering, to CRAFTY
malice, blacken the innocent, and helm
demagogues, traitors, land thieves and
railroad robbers into office, they become
darker crimes than those they pretend to
investigate.
One Of the darkest features of this
business was the intense desire to soil the
reputation of the Chief Magistrate. The
effort to connect him with whisky frauds
has been persistent and devilish, revealing
not only malice toward him persopallv
but an earnest hatred of the Government,
and the determination to tarnish it before
the world. The filth hurled at him re.
fused to stick, and, rebounding, adhered
to the splotched faces of his adversaries.
and his good name and integrity shine
brighter than ever through the storm of
dirty missiles. His command, Let no
guilty man. escape" will be read and adj.
mired when his enemies are remembered
only to be despised. Senator Morton an
has Indianapolis Speech.

An Astounding Snake Story.

A RECENT dispatch from Milford,
Pa, says: A four year-old son of one
Riley, living on the old Milford and Os-
wego turnpike, in Blooming Grove
township, this county, came into the
house on Saturday last carrying rattle
snake. He had one hand clasped tight
ly about its neck and the other above
its rattles. The mother of the child
was terrified, and screamed to the boy
to throw the snake on the floor, which
he did. 1t coiled up in second, and
filled the room with the din of its
rattles. Mrs. Riley seized a broom
and soon dispatched the serpent. Her
little boy cried over the death of his
yenomous plaything, and said there
were more where he got that, and he
would go after another one.
Mrs. Riley summoned her husband
from an adjoining field. He asked the
child to show him where he got the
snake. He led the way into the scrub
oaks about quarter of a mile from
the road, to small ledge of rock, in
which there were many assures.
There, basking in the sun, the farmer
saw dozens of rattlesnakes. He took
his child in his arms and hurried away
from the spot. Procuring the assist
ance of hired man, the two, armed
with fails, returned to the den. They
attacked the serpents, threshing right
and left. For tiNe minutes the contest
waged. the noise made by the rattles
of the snakes being almost deafening,
Riley and his man killed twenty-one
OF the reptiles, and many escaped into
the assures in the rock. Riley's little
boy had wandered alone to this danger
Gus place, and had captured the snake
and taken it home. 1t was two feet
and a half long and had seven rattles.
