Machines of Death.

The GatlIng Gun and Our British C0u- sins-Tae Great COntest-Connecticgl Manufacturers vs. the WOrlds For several months past trial has been going on in England between the machine guns. It is 8 contest to decide which gun shall be adopted in the British service. The | Calling gun, made at Colts works in Hart
 ford, has already bssn adopted by the English Government, but as it was claimed that the
 Nordenfslt gun was superior, this trial is to test the claim.
 As is well known the Calling gun is re- voIving weapon and is discharged by crank movement, while the the Nordenfelt is g lever gun. The former is fired with fine utmost rapidity, one at Q time, while the other, when loaded, must be fired simultaneously.
 Such is the rapidity with which 8 Gatling
 can be fired, it is barely possible to separate the sound of each discharge. It is almost simultaneous. and is quite continuous. The Gardner gun is slso competitor, but it is hardly considered 8 rival. The trial of the guns is being made at Shoeburyness, England, and will probably last all summer. The guns
 have to be tested for various good qualities, such as durability, rapidity of firing, and &C., curacy The cartridge used in these trials is 45-100th, or little less than half an inch in diameter.
 The Gatling gun in competition is g six
 barrel piece, while the Nordsnfslt is 8 tan shooter. But ten-barrel Calling is now
 being made at Colts expressly for the triRl
 It will be ready to send to England in Juns.
 The GatlinR now on trial has stood the test
 splsndidIy. It has beaten both tue other guns
 ct 200, 800, 800 and 800 yards range, and this
 renders it absolutely certain that it will beat
 them up to 2,o00 yards, which is nearly oHs
 mile and a quarter,
 The Nordenfslt gun was being trisd-not
 for accuracy but for durability-and it was
 raining the bullets into the earth at about 150
 yards distance, throwing up the mud at every discharge, when dog belonging to the sur
 geon of the post came running up to tho spot where the balls were falling, to play with the flying mud. At each fresh discharge hs
 would rush to the spot where the laat charge struck, and during the firing of 800 shots he ran from spot to spot without being hit. Or in other words each discharge so affected the range that the dog was safe so long as he was expeditions in reaching the spot where the last charge struck. If the Gatling had been on trial then the surgeon would have lost a dog.

Theory VS. Facts.

All established theories are set aside by solid facts. The solid facts in this case are, that the business interests of our fair city have been more greatly enhanced within the past year by one single enterprise, conduct ed by one single mind, than by all other productive institutions in Rochester. We refer to the manufacture of Hop Bitters. The remedial properties of hops,. with the herbs introduced, principally buchu, man. drake and dandelion, had long been known, bu" there had been so much mere stuH-aye, deleterious stuf-foisted upon the country. under the general cognomen of "bitters'' and remedies that this medicine, which had been perfecting under the experiments of skilled pharmaceutists and chemists, had to overcome the distrust of all such remedies" by the slow process of information, which has been so successfully done that to-day the druggist who does not embrace Hop Bitters in the list of his regularly ordered medi cines, or the family that does not know it's beneficial effects would be difficult to find.
 THE MANUFACToRY
 is located on Mill street, from which ema- mates the preparation that is daily shipped to all parts of this country, and to sections of the globe over which the American flag does not float. The business is splendidly sys- tematized, and everything goes on so quietly that it would be difficult to imagine that so extensive business was done in that local ity. Each department is overseen by com. potent persons The items for bottles and for packing-boxes are enormously surprising, and those who furnish these two articles alone have reason to rejoice at the discovery of Hop Bitters while the myriads of sick people who have been cured by this invalua- ble remedy have greater reason to reJolce.- Rochester ECeni1g Express

College Notes.

Mr. John T. Morse has been elected an overseer of Harvard College, in placs of the Rev. Dr. Bellows, who was declared ineligible because of non-residence.
 There will be a praise service in Battall chapel tomorrow evening. very attractive programme has bssn prepared for the occa- sion. Mrs. Blinn and Mr. Assay will render solos and Dr. Barbour will deliver an address. Columbia has already accepted Corneli's chal- Isnee to Q four-oared race some time this sum- mer, and express 8. desire that the event be thrown open to all colleges. Wesleyan, who was also challenged by Cornell, has intimated her willingness to row and is not averse to a general regatta. Bowdoin and Trinity will probably pull if chance is offered.
 The last game of the Yale-Woreester series will be played at Hamilton Park this afternoon. Admission 35 cents. Game called at 2:45, sharp. In no year since "A have the mana gers of the nine been so energetic in securing games with frst-class professional clubs, and as it is on this kind of practice that the nine must rely if they are to be victorious in the college games, every man who can possibly spare the time and money should attend these games.

STrNDAY. Jan. 25. 1SS0-10:45 P. M.

SUNDAY, Jan. 25, 19SO-1O:45 PM MIR. SoULE:-
 Dear Sir-By some mistake. your note &C., companying dozen bottles of 'tHop Bit ters'' and conveying also your kind offer to suppy to our large family, all of the medi- cine used there, was not given to me as it should have been done, to acknowledge. At the monthly meeting held last week, Mrs. Shipman asked me if it had been answered. At once the matter was stated to us, and was directed to thank you for your generosi- ty. The old ladies who have taken the Bit ters feel built up by it already. Indeed they almost are persuaded that they have a new backbone, so quickly have these old ones stiffened and strengthened. To have given so much happiness or comfort to these aged women, whose lives at best must be lonely, is blessing which reacts most graciously upon ourselves. Such bread cast lovingly on lifeswaters, comes back at some time, and in some way. May your gifts always bring equal comfort with this and may your re- ward be sure.
 Thanking you in behalf of the Board, of- fcially, of the old ladies gratefully, and for my own sake, that have been permitted to hear of improvement for once in lieu of in- creased suffering. I am
 Yours truly,
