In Olden time q QuartermaSter's Ser
geant might squint his left eve along a
field-piece and have il fired with the hope
OF hitting something somewhere. Now,
however, the sighting of a cannon is
more difficult to do than the solution of
= problem in comic sections to a school
boy. Six instruments must be used i'm
France before the word fire. is given.
The thermometer measures the force and
velocity of the wind. The pressure of
the atmosphere is taken by means of a
barometer. The sights are graduated
with the pressure of \ certain figure. and
of course a change must be made if the
pressure is greater or less. Next a
~hydrOmeter gives the amount of moist
ure in the atmosphere. The degree of
dampness materially affects the resist
ance offered to the light of cannon
ball, although to meet one of them you
would not expect it would mird damp
ness or any thing else much. A plan
Ghetto is used where the object fired at
is out of sight. A telemeter, or range
finder, is employed to ascertain tie dis
lance of objects fired at, and finally a
Thermometer gives the temperature, as
the sight marks that would be all right
in warm weather are too cold for firing
in cold weather. After all this is done,
we presume it does not require more
than half q dozen men to tell the gun
ner to fire. 1t must make them mad af-
ter all their calculations are made to
lind that the ball does not go within a
mile Of the object fired at, or what is
more probable to find that the enemy
has moved off one hundred miles or so
while the figuring is going on. The
French army win have to provide each
cannon with a college of technology to

A Conductors Luck.

Many years ago, one night. while a
conductor on the Southern Railroad was
taking up fares, a man without q ticket
offered him a large bill, and he. n con-
ductors are apt To do, took il along. say

change. The purpose Of these delays
is to make = quiet study of the bill in
the baggage-car and see If il j. all right.
When h. reached the baggage-car with
the bill. Mr.. Mckinney found what he
had taken u be 800 was abill for 5000.
He returned 10 the passenger and found
he had shifted his seat. Telling him
there was a mistake, that the bill vas

How Old Is the Friday Superstition !

In Mr.. Proctor's Sunday evening lee
ture on the "Religion If Astronomy -
he alluded TO the prevalent superstition
about the ill-luck of beginning journeys
on Friday. and cited in illustration the
delay of p troop ship by order Of the
British Admiralty some wears ago,out of
consideration for the terrors of the sail
Ors. An apteri llu~strationlay close al his
hand i'll the fact that Friday is avoided
as the day of departure by all the At
lantic steamers which ply from this
port. But MIR. Proctor ventured an as
sertion about this superstition which adj
mits of doubt. He said that it dates
back four or five thousand years. So
erudite a writer as Robert Southey. on
the contrary, regards ii as Christian and
as arising from the cruo'fixion. IL Mr..
Proctor mas facts To c%ontrovert this
opinion of the author Of 80 The Doctor"
they would ,e very interesting to the
public. The historian, Buckle, who de-
lighted in that kind Of research, seems
To lest content with SOuthey's assertion.
In a considerable mass Of material he
accumulated about the ill-luck of Fri
day, We find nc examples cited outside
of Christendom save from the west coast
of Africa. The fact that Columbus
sailed on a Friday upon his first grand
voyage of discovery implies. also, that it
is a superstition of comparatively modern
origin. If it had been widely diffrsed
among sailors in his time, surely he
would himself have avoided adding such
a terror wantonly to the expedition.
Still further. had such a superstition
been known at the Spanish cour il is
scarcely possible that an express prohi-
bitiOn would not have been laid on him
by Queen Isabella against defying it.
Allusions TO the common existence of it
made by Shakespeare and Mon.aigne
a century later, which Indicate the six
century as the period of is rise
and diffusion. In "Troilus and Cres-
sida Shakespeare makes Pandarus say,

Of the Trojan war. l. is one of Skak-
speare's immense anachronisms, like the
Introduction of firearms in Julius
and proves only that Friday
vas deemed unlucky in his own age.
The allusion by Montaigne is contained
n his Essays" where he saws that

The Old. Fashioned Girl.

A writer in the Examiner and Chrou-
icie says that the blessing of heaven NAV
fall upon any .'Old-fashioned girl" He
C knew such girls, and sketches a
portrait of one of them as follows:
She fOurished so or 40 years ago.
She was a little girl until she was Is.
She used to help her mother wash the
dishes, and keep the kitchen tidy, and
she had an ambition to make pies SO
nicely that papa could not tell the diff
ference between them and mammals.
She could fry griddle-cakes at 10 years
of age, and darn her own stockings be-
fore she was II, to saw nothing of
knitting them herself. She had her
hours of play, and enjoyed herself to the
fullestextent. She had no very costly
toys, 10 De sure, but her rag doll and
little bureau and chair that Uncle Tom
made, were just as valuable to her as the
twenty-dollar wax doll and elegant doll
furniture the children have now-a-days.
She never said, al can't" 81 don't
want to" to her mother, when asked to
leave her play, and run up stairs or
down on an GRAND, because she had not
been brought up in that way. Obedi-
ence was a cardinal virtue in the old
fashioned little girl. We do not sup
pose she had her hair in curl-papers or
crimping-pins, or had it changed"
over her forehead, and her fiounces were
no trouble TO her. She learned to sew
by making patchwork, and we dare say
could do an sover-and-over" seam as
well as nine-tenths of the grown-up
women nowadays. The old fashioned
little girl did not grow into q young
lady and talk about beaux before she
was in her teens, and she did not read
and was not fancying q
hero in every plow-boy she met. She
learned the solid accomplish
ments as she grew up She
was taught the art of cooking and
housekeeping. When she got a hus-
band, she knew how to cook him a din
She was not learned in French
verbs or Latin declensions, and her near
neighbors were spared the agony of
hearing her pound out "The Maiden's
Prayer" and Silver Threads Among
the Gold :" twenty times q day on the
piano. But we have no doubt she made
family quite rs comfortable as the
modern young lady does hers. 1t may
a vulgar assertion, but we honestly
believe that when it comes to keeping .
happy, a good cook and house
Keeper is to be greatly preferred above

hey sometimes are, then is the house.
lold over which such a woman has con-
rol blessed.
The o~ld-fashioned little girl was mod
st in her demeanor, and she never
alked slang or used by-words. She did
lot laugh at old people or make fun Of
ripples, as we saw some modern little
iris doing the other day. She had re-
pect for elders, and was not above
to words of counsel from those
lder than herself. She did not think /,

The Philadelphia Enquirer is taking
the third term business to heart, and en-
treats Grant to improve the greatest op
portunity of his life and withdraw which
he will not do unless $4,000 a year for
four years is made up. The Enquirer
says; But we believe if there was any
danger of Grants nomination, it is now
past, 1t all depended on Pennsylvania
solid vote, and he will not receive it. The
third term movement is like a burst bal
loon, or a tub without a bottom, or a
barrel without hoops. The declaration
OF independence of the Philadelphia del.
egates to Chicago has, in giving expires.
sion to the will of the overwhelming ma.
jority of the Republican voters, destroy
ed it. Another open letter to Gen. Har,
ry White, similar to the one he wrote
that great soldier and statesman in 1875,
when he could not be nominated, is now
