now 70 HANDLE GINS.

Guns should always be carried at the
half.cock, as then neither a blow or
strike nor pull on the trigger win
bring the former into action. There is
no necessity whatever for a gun to be
otherwise than at the balf-cock, unless
game is Immediately in front; and, fur
ther, it may not be out of place to add
that it is dangerous when shooting IN
company for the gun to be swung round
in taking aim with the finger on the
trigger. The eye should follow the
line of fight and the gun be raised at
the proper moment. Accidents from
guns bursting are rare, but caution is
very necessary in the getting over fences
to see that no earth gets In the muzzle,
or in winter time, that the latter does
not get blocked up by snow dropping
from bushes or otherwise. These obsta-
cles, although they may be easily re-
moved, are quite sufficient, if they re-
main, to burst the strongest barrels
when the piece is discharged. This is
caused by the wonderful velocity of the
expanding gases. This expansion
which is said to be at about the rate of
seven thousand feet per second, is the
same is all directions, and the least
check at the muzzie of the gun causes
such sudden Increased pressure in its
sides that the latter are unable to resist
its effects, and are burst OPEN None
is more cautious or more scrapuloasl,
careful IN the use of his gun than an
old sportsman, and no one more readily
than he detects and condemns careless
ness in the manipulation Of their gusn
in others.

purpose Of this cipher dispatch ASSAULT
upon Mr.. Tilden is to defeat his noini.
nation by the party in 1880. 1t is a
foregone conclusion that If nominated
he will be elected, hence his enemies,
the Republicans and the Democratic
aspirants for the place, must XIII him
of before the election, if At all. We
now predict that the schemers will fail
Of success in their design. Poetic jus
tice demands that Samuel J. Tilden
must be President de j;ieto, as he is
now President dc j4re Of the Republic.
His chances are better to-day than ever
before, and his published card, forcibie
in argument and manly in tone, clears
away the stain that was sought to be
fastened upon him, and raises him
head and shoulders above any other
candidate for the Presidency, be he
Republican or Democrat.

GENERAL GRANT IN RUSSIA.
BIS Pleasant Meeting VIII the CZar
ana Fringe GprIscbakOR.

General Grant has had an interview
with the Czar at 81. Petersburg. The
Emperor manIfests great cordiality.
The General was presented by Prince
GortZchakOff. His Majesty talked OF
his health and the Generals travels.
He seemed greatly interested in our
National wards, the Indians, and
made several inquiries as to their
mode Of warfare. At the close OF the
interview the Emperor accompanied
General Grant to the door, saying:
rSince the formation Of your Gov
eminent the relations between Rus
sia and America have been Of the
friendliest character, and as long as /
live nothing shall be spared to con-
tinue that friendship"
The General answered that although
the two governments were directly
opposite In character the majority OF
the American people were in sympe-
thy with Russia and would, he hoped,
so continue. At the station General
Grant met the Grand Duke Alexis,
VINO was very cordial, recalling with
pleasure his visit to America. A
visit was also made to the great
Chancellor, Prince Gortschakoff, with
whom the General spent some hours
smoking and discussing American
and European affairs. The Caro-
witch also received General Grant at
special audience.
The French Ambassador give q
dinner to the General, and there was
special review OF the fire brigade In
his honor. The attention OF the
Emperor and the authorities were SO
marked that he prolonged his stay
many days. On the Sth inst. be left
for Moscow and reached the ancient
capital on the 9th. He dined with
Prince DogoIof on the 10th. General
Grant reached Warsaw on the 18th.
On the 2Oth he will be In Vienna and
spend 8 month in the Tryol.

The Awful Boy.

A boy is q wonderful institutIOn.
He manages to have good times by
simply enjoying his own exuberance
Of animal spirits. He begins life by
sitting down In the dirt, and laughing
as never q full-grOwn man laughed
while he makes the mud pie which is
the despair OF his nurse and mother
He is a delightful bundle OF contra
dictiOns, and can ask more and hard
er questions In five minutes than the
profoundest philosopher can answer
In a lifetime. He performs q sur
gicAl operation on the head Of
his sisters doll TO discover how the
eyes roll, and finds 1t easier to
take the family clock to pieces than
to put II together again. he cuts
open the drum to see what is inside,
and does so many daring things that
you will wonder a thousand times il
be will ever grow to manhood, fully
expecting every time that he goes
out that he will be brought back with
q broken head or manned !Or life in
some horrible way. But he lives
through IL all, and is the better for
his rough and tumble experience.

Work.

DIR. Charles Hodge says: "When q
man joins a particular church, he is
bound to identify himself with 1t he
must attend its services and eo-Ope-
late in its measures" This is sound
advice, and We could but wish ii was
always taken. We see no reason why
any man should imagine himself to
be a bee, and go wandering from flOw-
er to flower. The old prOverb that "a
rolling stone gathers no moss" ap-
plies with great force 10 many q pro-
fessed Christian. The prayer meeting
has 70 be sustained. The Sabbath
school must not 90 down. How Is
this to be accomplished unless some
are willing 10 work? A Boston paper
says q business man OF that city, 3
member OF the church, is In the habit
OF lunching down town. A few days
since as he was seated st q table in q
restaurant, where he was no stranger
and the proprietor accOsted him
with
"DO you see any change here?"
hNo."
"Why, don't you notice that my
bar is gomez"
we'll balu the NauuefluR ulsclplb
after staring moment, "what is that
fer ?"
"Why, you see, I've been down to
the tabernacle lately, and Pve made
up my mind that can't afford this
business any longer 50 l hsveturned
round"
And then taking q card from his
pocket, he showed a list OF men he
was praying for, and then told earn
estly OF the work he was doing. Then
with the eagerness and confidence OF
q newborn enthusiasm, he said
"EOw tell me what you are doing" "
No answer. The prOfessed disciple
was not doing anything. But the
question sent an astOnished man
home 10 ask God to show him his
work.

Men Who Make Journalists.

1t has been remarked that very few
men who get into journalism start out
with such Intentions. They drift in
accidentally, are promoted as they
develop capacity. Money, wealthy
parents, and influence are of no sort
Of service In getting q young man a
place on q newspaper. There Is no
business that IL 90 entirely indepen-
dent OF all these considerations as
this. A wealthy father can easily get
his son q location to read law or
medicine, or push him forward Ia al
most any rank OF life he may select /;
but, he is utterly powerless to do any
thing for him In journalistic way.
To be sure he may buy newspaper,
and set him up in that way, but un-
less there Is something Ia him called
Journalistic knRck," natural
knowledge Of what to write and how
to write il, he will be 3 failure Ia that
line, and all the money and influence
Of wealth and perhaps powerful re-
latives will count for nothing. Some
fond parents educate their sons with
the special view Of making journal
lists OF them but it il rare that we
hear OF these young men after 3 few
years. Meanwhile, some youth born
among our hills, having nothing
more than q common school educa-
ton, and the knowledge scraped up in
q country printing office, will adj
vance to the front rank in the profess
sion. He has the journalistic knack,
and forces recognition because he has
II He Oats IrtO q qOOd DOsftiOn mt
because he has wealthy parents to in.
fiuenee the proprietors of leading
newspapers, but because he knows
what to write and how to write 1t.
His articles go in because they supply
8 demand, while perhaps the elabo-
rate essays Of 8 man educated on two
continents are cast into the waste bas'
ket.

HsKeeL sixteen"

We don't here nearly 80 much raw
ing as we used to about sweet six teen,
but the sentimental infatuation
about 1t still exists to a certain eL-
tent. American girls at sixteen, es-
pecIslIy in the North, are not usually
attractive to the men. They are
neither one thing nor the other. They
lack the ingenuOsness, freshness, and
freedom Of girls, and they are with
out the tact, grace, or charm of wom-
en-. They are very prone to be awk-
ward, indefinite, silly, and they are
very rarely pretty, however much
promise they may give Of pFettiness,
II any mRp cares to get an eSaGt iGea
OF them, let him step into the street
cars going up or down town
about 6 o'clock any morning, and
he will behold them to his dissstisfsc-
tIOn. Ifhs has ever idealized them,
their actusl presence will destroy his
ideal completely, After riding . few
blocks with them, we defy him to
conjure up any sentimental image
respecting them. Their thin fingers,
uneOuth manners, extreme selfish
consciousness and uneonquerable
tendency to giggle will render
them prosaic enough. II he will wait
two or three years, he will see into
what 8 splendid butterfly the poor
plain chrysalls has developed. Eigh-
teen, nineteen, or upward may be as
