IT IS not often that a pope is called
into court and Pope Leo is fortunate,
or unfortunate, in that distinction.
The cause OF it all is that a fervent
Swiss Catholic left at his death certain
requests to the emperors of Austria
and Brazil, and appointed the pope his
residuary legatee. The heirs-at-law
contested the will on the ground that
the deceased was not in his right mind
at the time Of making the will. The
emperors renowned all claims under
the instrument, but the pope made no
answer to the preliminary proceedings.
He is therefore cited to appear in court
and show cause why the decree prayed
for by the heirs-at-law should not be
granted. The pope will be represented
by counsel.

Zululand, a midshipman with a detail
of marines to work a Calling gun, was
ordered to an eminence commanding the
enemy. The prejudice of the commander
against the Yankee arm caused him to
ignore the MILDLY during the rest of the
fight. This left the latter a command
er during the conflict, and how he did
his duty we h:-e recorded above. But
the greatest honor for the young MILDLY
was, that being a commander, he had
the remarkable honor of writing a re-
port to be transmitted tothe lord admi-
raj, a distinction which never before
fell to the good fortune of a midship-
man. This circumstance naturally at
tracted attention, and upon closely
studying the report, together with that
Of the commander -in-chief, it was seen
how ill-founded : was the prejudice
against the Calling gun. So instead of
choking off the MILDLY and his ''what-
is-it2' by prejudice, the commander
succeeded in having the strange instru-
ment of death adopted for land use.
We do not propose to boost any spe-
cial invention, but it is a matter of
pride to Americans to know that a
home invention has been adopted by a
foreign power, and that is England,
who thinks she stands at the lead in
all the arts and appliances of var. A
double prejudice has been overcome
that against it, because it is of Yankee
origin and because it is such a novel
looking arrangement. But why mill
tary men should doubt its effectiveness
after learning of the great service an
imitation Calling did in the Franco
Prussian war we don't profess to un-
derstand.

SECRETARY McCRARY is sound on
the question Of lacking general legis-
lation to appropriation bills. He con-
tends that 1t is little short of revolution
AIRY in its extent. 1t would be possible
he says, to complete a revolution by
this means Under the operation Of
this species Of legislation IL would have
been possible for the democrats in 1861
to have incorporated in an a%ppropria-
ton bill a provision allowing South
Carolina to secede, and either compel
the executive to sign the bill and dis
solve the union, or vetoing it, leave the
government without means to support
itself. This principle might apply to
every subject of legislation, and the ex-
ecutive and judicial branches of the
government could be crippled upon the
most trivial occasion.

THE GATLING GUN IN AZ.
RIGA.

Military men will be interested to
know that the Gatling gun has suddenly
risen to the highest favor in the Brit
ish army in Zululand where one recent
ly played a prominent and most valua-
BILE part in a battle with the Zulus. The
latter were defeated with terrible
slaughter, the Calling having moved
them down like grass to the sstonish-
ment of both the Zulus and the Brit
ish. As a consequence, the arm is
highly regarded by the authorities in
England and will be largely distributed
throughout the army IS well as the
navy. A prejudice against the Calling
gun on the part of military officers ex-
lists in England as it does in the United
States, as what the British have of
these gums are mostly in the navy. The
excuse is made that they don't know
whether to class them as artillery or in
fantry arms.

THERE is threatened a new curse on
the country; happily, n that al be
blotted out by proper treatment. On
all hands are arising prophets who
presage things both good and bad, but
principally bad. The fame Of a prophet,
your know, is usually gagged according
to the horror Of his prophesy. Wars,
domestic and foreign, pestilence, fam
inc and unearthly scourges of divers
kinds, sum up the style of prophesy for
the present season. In yet a little while
and an overstrained people may arise
and charitably kill these gentry of i'll
omen. 1t is the best plan of salvation
for the people.

CHEAP ~TELEGRAPHY,


We have already noted the fact that
the American rapid telegraph COM
pany purpose to revolutionize in
a measure the telegraphic bust
ness Of the country. There are
practical electricians who are con-
fident in having demonstrated the i'm
practicability of the scheme, but there
are others who hold that the invention
will work beyond all doubt. At any
rate the company is said to be a bona
fde concern, as several prominent
business men of New York admit their
connection with it. The plan of the
work Is the perfection Of the old auto.
matte system. The wires are of steel,
coated with copper, which is put on by
the electroplating process. The resist
ance is just half that.of a No. 6 wire,
that is to say, six omhs to the mile, in
stead of twelve omhs. The messages
are prepared for transmission by being
perforated in Morse letters in a tape.
The tapes are put into a transmitter,
which can be run at a speed of 1000
words per minute. The receiver is a
machine wherein the message is print
ed on a tape with a pen. The tape is
prepared chemically, and glides rapidly
under the points OF the pen, the passage
of the current leaving dark green marks
and dots on the tape. An alternating
current is necessary. The receiving
tapes are taken by the operator and the
message printed with a type writer by
hand on blank sheets and distributed,
The company claims that 1t can
transmit So rapidly and conviently as
to be able to send commercial messages
al twenty-five cents for thirty words;
night messages at fifteen cents for fifty
words and press reports at ten cents
per one hundred words. 1t will trans
NIT business letters and put them into
the mails at the city of its destination
for twenty-five cents for fifty words.
The company aspires to do the COM
mercial correspondence which is now
done by mail, agreeing to put messages
at the place of destination into the
mails.
II all this be true and the company
carries out its plans fully, the Western
Union will have to subsidize Edison for
an Improvement which shall be even
superior and cheaper. Failing in that

TIE Southern Mule as an instrument Of
War

Inc OUututEu Dult ab al lustE uhltut VI
War.
Lord Beaconsfleld, in view of the pro-
bable continuance of the Zulu war in
south Africa, has instructed the rep
resentatives Of the British government
in the United States to obtain as near
ly as possible exact information about
the capacity and habits of the "South
ern mule" During the late unpleas-
antness the British government had a
number of representatives residing in
the south who doubtless became some
what acquainted with the habits, char
acteristics and peculiarities of the
Southern mule" and to this fact may
be attributed the interest Beaconsfeld is
taking in the war qualities of the
animal. M~anifestly the southern mule,
as a war engine, is the next best thing
to a gatling gun, and in some regards
is superior, as it can take itself to the
battle field and place itself in position.
The New Orleans Times is enthusiastic
in speaking of the Southern mule" as
just the thing the British need to whip
the Zulus. The Times says the ''South-
ern mule. can out-bite, out. buck, out
kick and out. hehawhehaweee any mule
Of his size and heft in the world. Just
bride him up, put a raw recruit on his
back, give him room to exercise accord
ing to his disposition, and he will go
through more complicated mannuvres
in less time, and roach up his back
oftener and squeal louder, and give
that recruit more vigorous cavalry SER
vice in one half hour than any l 0mules
north, east or west of Dixie could do if
they were in competition for a gold
mdial or diploma. Introduced into
Africa, the southern mule would prove
particularly eficacious as an instrument
of war. No need of howitzers where
the southern mule is. Just back him
towards the enemy, get the broncho
streak properly in line by sighting
along the backbone, then depress his
ears according to the elevation, put a
20 inch shell just abaft of his hind feet,
clear the track, and let No. 3 of the
firing squad touch him off with a straw,
and the way that shell will let loose up
on the sullen foe with deadly precision
will eclipse the feats Of, Krupp's best
any day in the week. A battery of SOUTH
ern mules, properly trained, would
prove better than a whole corps Of field
artillery, being more easily limbered up
the southern mule is always limbered
possessing unequaled facilities for
swabbing, adapted to any caliber of
projectile, and moreover, being so con-
structed that the pieces never could be
spiked.
|, With this high Endorsement, the
English demand is likely to be enor-
nous, and if it should so happen that
this Southern mule" kicks Christian
civilizati onin to Africa, it will be regard
ed as some compensation for the great
wrong done that country when a few
hendricks of its population were caught
and sold into slavery by the Yankees.
