UNION SERVICES. Yesterday af-
ternoon, the Bible reading service
was held at the hall of the Y. N. c.
A. Sixty-seven were present. Half
an hour was spent in singing and
prayer at the opening, followed by
an exposition of and remarks upon
Christ's words. as recorded in Luke
XI, 5-13, by Evangelist Brown. The
expositions and applications were
forceful and spicy, and the spirit
and influence of the meeting were
interesting and profitable to the sin
cere worshippers and seekers after
good. The evening exercises were
held as usual at the Presbyterian
Church and were we'll attended. The
preparatory services consisted OF
singing. prayer and Bible reading.
The rolling away of the stone from
the grave and the raising of Laza-
rus from the dead, by our Lord, in
the days of His earthly ministry,
furnished the subjects of the dls-
course by Mr.. Brown. His method
and illustrations are calculated to
excite the risibilities somewhat, and
persons who are almost dying of
propriety and Churchism are not
we'll pleased. The spiritual interest
is evidently on the increase and the
religious thermometer indicates a
thaw-perhaps storm.
FAST T1ME.-The bark Wandering
Jew arrived in San Francisco on the

time of 80 days. This vessel was
built in Rockport, Maine, and in

reputation for speed. She sailed
for Philadelphia, October 12th, 1877
and arrived there in days. Thence
she loaded 1900 barrels for Ant
werp, Belgium, making the run in
25 days. After discharging, she
went to Cardiff, Wales, in 9 days,
thence to Hong Kong with coal. in
11O. From Hong Kong she made
the passage to San Francisco in 80
days, beating the time of the mail
steamer. The Watering Jew was
built last year by Carlton. Norwood
& Co., of Rockport, and registers
1877 tons. During the last nine
and half months she has sailed a
distance of %, 500 miles and loaded
and discharged three cargoes.

EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL,
MAY IA, 1873.
ARTll.LERY ExPERIm ENrs.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Times, who has given evidence of max
ing a careful and systematic study of
the works at Woolwich, has an inter-
estipg account of the tendency of re-
cent artillery experiments in England,
and the conclusion to which they are
leading. The contest between defense
and offense has been enormously ex-
pensive. Iron plates are now made 40
inches thick, and yet it is believed that
a 2OO.ton gun can now be made with as
little trouble as used to be found in
making the guns of thirty-eight tons.
Possibly armor could be made that
would resist the impact of the shot of
even such a gun as this. But it would
be very expensive. Moreover, the
cost of the gun Is exceedingly heavy,
and it costs a great deal to fire it. Its
charge would be a thousand pounds of
powder, its shot would weigh two tons,
and it must be remembered that it
could not be safely calculated that every
shot would tell. So England is finding
that the cost OF both offensive and de-
fensive war is very heavy, too heavy
even for England to bear, and too heavy
in proportion to the results achieved.
Accordingly she is directing her atten-
ton to new methods. The problem Is
to get the largest amount of destruct-
i've energy at the least possible ex-
pense, from an army to the army or
the works of the enemy. In pursuance
of this idea England is operating with
torpedoes and rockets. The advant-
ages of the former have been discussed
on other occasions. Of the latter arm
1t is only necessary to say that it is to
be freighted with nitro-glycerine. This
will cheaper the cost of warfare inn
nensely. while at the same time it in
creases the efficiency of an army. But
England may be certain that if she sets
an example in this direction, it will be
sure to be followed by other nations.
If England can not afford the dear
ways of making war, other nations can
less afford them. Such nations only
need the precedent of a strong Power
to resort to the cheaper and more de-
structive methods of destroying human
life. If England tries dynamite, other
nations will try it, and the destructive
character of future wars will greatly
exceed anything which has been wit
messed. The length of the purse will
not be so potent a factor as heretofore
in determining the result of national
disputes. Small nations will stand
more on equality with large ones. Atthe
same time it is difficult to avoid the
conclusion that, sooner or later, the
policy that is credited in this cores
pondence to England will be adopted,
If not by England, then by some other
country that despairs of c%ontending on
equal terms with weapons of the
enemy's choosing.
