A Formidable Weapon.


A dispatch appeared in the Tribune a
few days since to the effect that the war
department had ordered some OF the
rev Hotchkiss guns for use upon the
plains. The descriptions of this ne and
terrible arm show that it is constructed
somewhat upon the plan of the Calling
gun, but that it is lar more effective 1t
consists of group of fve revolving bar
rels, with a breech. block, hopper and
crank. The barrels are Ct fluid, com.
pressed steel, 81 2S inches long, and rihed
in twelve grooves. The trunnions are 50
mounted that the gun can be trained TO
make small angle with the axis OF the
carriage. The total length of the gun is
1884 inches, its weight 1,l00 pounds,
and the caisson carries 900 roands.
Both shot and shell are used, the former
being of steel and the latter of castsiron.
The experiments thus far made have
been with those constructed for naval
use, which differ somewhat in their
| arrangements from the field guns, though
both are worked upon the same princi-
pie. the Dutch oommsndSnt OF naval
artillery, who has thoroughly teBted
them, considers that torpedO boats can
not have the slightest chances OF success
against them. We have seen no accounts
of the use Of the field guns, but from the

them it Is evident that the experiments

10 Cut Glass Without a Diamond.

Carpenters, ioiners and cabinetsmak-
ers are frequently called upon to fit
glass to frames or sashes where no glass
has been prepared to suit; under such
circumstances it would I've well TO know
how to cut glass to answer their purpo
ses, without the aid of diamond. Many
persons may not be aware that glass can
be cut under wster with grest ease, to
almost any shape, by simply using pair
Of shears or strong scissors. In order
to insure success, two points must be at
tended to first and most important, the
glass must be kept quite level in the
water while the scissors are applied /;
aud, secondly, to avoid risk, it is better to
begin the cutting by taking Of small
pieces at the corners and along the edges,
and so reduce the shape gradually to that
required, as if any attempt is made to
cut the glass all at once to the shape, as
we should cut a piece of cardboard, it
will most likely break just where it is
not wanted. Some kinds of glass cut
much better than others, tho softer
glasses being the best for this purpose.
The scissors need not be at all sharp, as
their action does not seem to depend on
the state Of the edge presented to the
glass. When the operation goes on we'll
the glass breaks away from the scissors in
small pieces in a straight line with the
blades This method OF cutting glass
has often been of service when a diamond
has not been at hand Tor cutting and
segments, aud though the edges are moi

purposes, yet it viii answer in grea
many csses. Tne two hintsgiven above
if strictly followed, will always insur,

New Burial of Sir John Moore,


Not a drum vas heard, because the
drummer was not feeling very well and
asked to be excused, nor funeral note
of any kind, az his corpse to the ramparts
we hurried; not a single, solitary son.oi-
a.gun Of a soldier discharged his farewell
shot DER the grave where the remains OF
the late Mr.. Moore were deposited. The
farewell.shot business was omitted on
account Of the great scarcity Of ammuni-
tion. We buried him darkly at dead
Of night, and did the best job we could
for him under the circumstances. We
could not borrow, beg or steal a pick or
shovel in the entire neighborho0d, and
were obliged to turn the sods with our
bayonets, which, by the way, was the
first thing that had been turned by said
b2yonets since we had been drafted.
We did this all by the struggling moon.

dimly burning, with just abou. half
enough oil in it, and a strip of an old
flannel undershirt for q wick. Few and

lain being home on a furlough, fnd no
one within forty miles to take his place.
We spoke not word of SORROW, our time
being somewhat limited, as the enemy
was not far distant, and advancing with
gigantic strides. We thought, as we
followed his narrow bed and smoothed
down his lonely pillow with q canteen,
that the foe and the stranger would tread

billow; but not TOO far, however, az the
enemy outnumbered us about seven to
one, Lightly they'll talk of the spirit
that's gone, and wonder where they can
get another hGsk flled with the same,
and DER his cold ashes upbraid him,
knowing, Of course, that he is in nc
condition 10 defend himself; but little
they'll reCk if they let him sleep on in a
grave where Briton has laid him, and
not bother him to get up ard take cut :

rent. We wish here TO correct the i'm
preston that slowly and sediy we laid
him down from the field of his fame fresh

corpse was washed and put in good shape
and we defy any man to show that there

Poisoned Waters of the Gulf.


Col. II A. Crane, st Key West, who
has been aresident OF Florida forty years,
and ID well informed as to southern
Florida, gives his views concerning the
late destruction Of fish On tbs Gulf coast:
" The poisoned waters have left us, and
the smack fishermen will resume their
wonted avOcati0ns again. There are
many amusing coujectures a. to the bad
water, and the last one is that it must be
volcanic by its being salt in shore. The
real fact is, people at a distance have no
conception Of the vast extent Of the
water. Think for moment that from
Lake Tohopokeliga southwark to the
guilt is two hundred and fifty miles, and
this from two to twenty feet deep ia
water, the width of which is not less than
fifty TO seventy.tive miles, and which
passes through immense swamps of dog
wood and mastic, both destructive to
fsh. These swamps torn to pieces by
driftwood would generate poison enough
to kill all the fsh in the gull. From
the hunting grounds sll around to Char
iotte harboT, two hundred miles, from
one to four feet of water is pouring over
the banks with force that has been
frequently heard on this outer reefs by
the light keepers, like the roar of falls.
This water is so impregnated with vege.
table matter as to sink below the salt
water (as only the shoal water fish were
killed). 1t seems to me it would not
mix with the salt water, as l have seen
strata OF this water one hundred and
fifty to i've hundred yards wide, as lar as
the eye could reach, carrying upon its
surface millions of fish. Every tide the
salt water would reach the beach and
remain there for daya. This is my opin.
ion Of the whole natter

cation of the roads west of the Missouri

agreed to- 1t was also agreed that here
after everything excepting live stock
shall be rated per one hundred pounds,
instead of carloads. The Omaha exten-

therefore there was no Encouragement OF

per cent. of which was exported grain
crop of rs, 70 having been simply an
enormous annual yield. falling a little
short of 400, 100000 bushels, of which 26
per cent. was exported. Great activity
has marked the expectation OF bread

iron and the shipment OF provisions to
Europe from this country, amounts TO
5000 tons daily. A draft of a bill pro.
viding that wrecks of sunken vessels be
