If it were not for the i'm
proyements in %gunpowder made
by the late General Rodman
of our army, these great guns could not
be used at all. That distinguished cili-
Ger introduced the large grain, slow
burning powder, which reduces the
strain on the gun. BY means of it the
initial pressure is reduced, bnt a higher
mean pressure is maintained during the
passage of the shot through the bore of
the gun. While the propelling power is
not lessened, the maximum pressure on
the gun is vastly reduced.
But-eveh with the d sntages offered
by this mammoth grain powder, the
construction Of a modern heavy gun il
one of the most difficult of engineering
feats, and there is constant discussion
among ordnance men a. to the sound
ness Of every system of manufacture in
use, and every detail under il. The
late accidents with the 3S-ton and 100.
ton guns have given a new impetus To
the controversy, and may result in inn
POrtant changes in the manufacture.
There are but three or four manufac.
tories of such guns in the world. The
only ones we can count up are the Els.
wick works, the Government works al
Woolwich, and the Krupp factories a
Essen in Germany; and there is nc
agreement among ordinance men as 4
which turn out the best weapons. Lat,
experience shows pretty %conclusiyely
that even the best are not free from dan
gers to those who use them.--NeV Yorl

that given by Kit Carson's In

lover. While mining in the West

whom she lived very happily
When he was taken il, a long

Night and day she continued her
journey, resting only for a few
hours on the open prairie, flying
on her wonderful little steed as
soon as she could gather up her
forces anew. She forded rivers,
she scaled rocky passes, she
waded through morasses and
finally arrived just alive to find
her husband better. But the
exposure and exertion killed. her:

Dear sir:-I take pleasure in attest
ingto the excellent workmanship on the
Southern Standard press erected by you
last summer on this place: It not only
works easily but has realized my expec-
tations as to the weight of the bales
turned out, some weighing as high as
$50 pounds, and many over 500 pounds
All this was done by hand. During last
season there were about 1870 bales pressed,
no accident or delay occurring during
the progress of the work I feel satified
that any person desiring to put up a
press OF this character, cannot be other
wise than pleased with the manner in
which your work is performed.
Very Truly,
~ THAD.s WATERMAN.

DEAR S1R:-The Southern Standard
Press. which you put up for me, has
given perfect satisfaction. During the
months of December and January last l
packed 259 bales cotton-averaging in
weight 500 pounds. | used an ordinary
SIG cotton rope which, at the close OF
the season, was sufficiently strong to be
used for pillow lines. It possesses many
advantages over any other press OF which
have any knowledge Its cheapness
L and durability should recommend it to
every one 1 regard the Southern
Standard cheaper at 500 than the
Brooks or Reynolds or any press of like
make at $40. Yours truly,

4 FIGHTING EDITORS WORK.

Va st MA -
A western editor whose style
of writing was calculated to
arouse people 10 deeds OF gore
being himself not much on the
muscle, found it necessary TO
keep fighting editor, and ne
had a speaking tube connected
with the heeIer's room to call
him when danger required. One
day a gentleman whom the edi-
tor referred to as "cross eyed
dromedary" came in to request a
correction, and as the fighting
editor was ont didn't hear the
signal of distress, and while
the editor and his visitor
were on the floor under the desk
the former agreed to correct the
mistake, and the irate man left.
Pretty soon gentleman from
the rural district came in to give
the editor a big squash, and get
a notice, and about that time the
fighting editor returned and a boy
ia his room told him the. boss
wanted help. The man of war
was quick to respond, and dash
ing into the chiefs room and see
ing the latter in somewhat dis
orde1ed condition the result OF
the previous visit, he thought the
countryman was the cause OF it,
and clutched him, and after stav-
ing up some furniture, ran the
victim across the street to where
an empty hearse was standing in
front OF an undertaker's shop.
Into the vehicle he jammed the
farmer, and shut the door. The
commotion he had created scared
the horses attached to the hearse
and they started off on the dead
run. People soon noticed the
runaway and ran after it, and
were shocked at seeing the Learse
collide with post and become q
complete wreck; and their hor-
ror at seeing a human body pre-
cipitated to the side walk, was
only equalled by their amaze
ment at seeing it spring nimbly
to it's feet and take off across the
country, yelling murder. They
thought it was an attempt to
bury man alive, and part OF
them went and got the under.
taker to lynch him, while the
rest pursued the farmer, who, was
found hidden in the swamp. And
after he was brought in it took
three hours to get matters ex-
planned, and then he went before
ajustice Of the peace and made
affidavit that he hoped to be
struck by lightning if he ever en-
