I HE WESTERN WHEAT CROPs.-
SO much has been said of the damage
done to the wheat crops in the West by
persons interested in exaggerating the
facts for speculative purposes that it is
well to note calmly what is said by the
most trustworthy authorities ON the SUBJ
ject. 1t seems then to be conceded that
the continued heavy rains, followed by
warm, cloudy weather, have seriously
injured the crops of wheat in Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa and the northern
part OF Illinois. AT the same time it is
admitted that the wheat crop was su-
perabundant last year in the States Just
mentioned, and that considerable part
of it has not yet been sent to market
On the other hand there is cOmpensa-
ton in the knowledge that the crop of
winter wheat in Ohio, Indians, South
ern Illinois, Missouri and Kansas is
among the largest that has ever been
known, whilst the corn crop, which is
reported almost everywhere to be unu-
sually heavy, will tend to Il very con-
siderable extent to compensate the farm
ers for their losses in the States where
the wheat crop has measurably failed.

tIiE RIFLE BATTERY WHICH REDUCE
DESTRUCTION TO A FINE ART.

tuE ''R1FLE BATTERY WHICH REDUCES
DESTRUCTION TO A FINE ART.
A gun, which promises to be the most
terrible agent of destruction of modern
times, was on exhibition yesterday at
tie 0ffice of the patentees and inventors.
The rifle battery" as it is called, is so
constructed as to deliver Its fire either
in a right line or IL horizontal, radiating
lines. The barrels, ranging in number
fron. Six to twenty, are sufficiently far
apart to prevent heating from continu-
Gus firing, and are fred successively in.
stead OF simultaneously, at the rate of
10000 shots an hour. A steel cover in
front of the gunners protects them from
the enemy's fire. These guns may be
fired continuously in one fixed direction,
or from side to side, or the battery may
be made to vio4ate laierally of ITSELF at
the discharge of each gun, thus sweeping
the field in front. The barrels are about
an inch apart, and at intervals. where
the guns are held by clasps, they are in
closed within asbestos OF some non con-
ductor of heat.
Tho battery may be divided into the
barrels of the breod-lOck or machinery
by which the barrels are loaded and dis
charged, the whole resting on q turn
table or pivot. The balls are placed in
a ca.--.sf.dge-receiver at right angles to
/ and resting on the blocks. At the right
of this is crank, on the Lett lever. By
pressing the lever N given direction
the block IS EoIced up to the muzzle of
the qua, when an automatic loader call
ed the fingers" takes hold of the ear
fridge and withdraws them from the
receiver. Another turn ofthe lever and
the balls a4e Ioroed into the muzzles,
and tha battery is loaded. Then the
crank at the right is turned, and at ev-
cry revolution needle is thrust forward
and strikes a cartridge with sufficient
force to explode it. Again tho lever op
the left is turned, and tho FINGERS" ad-
vance and withdraw the spent, cart
ridgea. aad the battery is again ready to
; be loaded. By means of screw placed
in the centre of the block the battery
may be elevated or depressed at plea
sure. The inventors are trying to have
their guns adopted by the English Gov
eTnment. They claim that they will be
especially effective in naval engage
ments. Yesterday, with toy model of
the battery, Dall was fired through an
| oak plank an inch in thickness at fifteen

THERE IS NO SHADOW IN HER FACE.

THERE Is NO SHADOW IN HER FACE.
BY MRS. NJ. N. il. CONWAY.
There Is no shadow on her face!
Though as she sits beside the door,
Humming an old tune, soft and low,
We know that she can see the place,
Just over on the hillside there,
Now made by summer-fowers so fair,
Where he-whose life-work being done
Lies calmly sleeping in the sun!
There is no shadow ON her facet
Though other heads beside him rest,
That once were pillowed on her breast!
Indeed she seems to love the place;
For looking there I've seen her smile,
And heard her say, "a little whilev'
Her eyes looked far beyond the tomb
70 where the lilies ever bloom!
There is no shadow on her face.
She knows them safe across the river,
Where pain and grief can touch them never
by faith she sees that heavenly place,
That City on the eternal shore,
Where loved ones meet to part TO more,
And thus EN- here beneath the skies
Dwells in the light of Paradise!

BY WILLIAM TEc-NYSoS HEAToHS, AUTHOR OF
SONGS CT THE SIIENANDOAH.
Oh bear me away on thy bosom,
Most beautiful river of earth
Away to the land of pine and palm,
Where the tropical flowers have birth.
Where islands fair on the heaving tide
CLEAN far in the morning light,
And harvest moon in the Autumn time
Creeps in on the deepening night,
Where golden flowers by forest and stream,
In verdure and beauty arrayed.
Grow fair and bright as an angels dream,
And never do wither or fade
Where the winds blow soft as fairy's breath,
And tenderest, sweetest music make,
Among the palms on the moon and the heath.
And over the shores Of the sedgy lake.
on! bear me away on thy silver tide,
Away to the sunset West,
Meath skies rs soft as Italy's are,
To some fair isle of rest;
Where the sea-Wave's murmuring softly
To the night-wind's solemn hymn,
Seem to chant of better land,
Where bright eyes ne'er grow dim.
