Mechanics Lectures.

General H. L.. Abbott DiscOurses on Sea Coast Defences-IuustratiOn of TOrpe- do Warfare.
 General H. l.. Abbott, of the United States Engineer Corps delivered a lecture in North Sheffield Hall last evening, his subject
 being ''Sea Coast Defense" One year ago General Abbott lectured at tbe same place and on a similar subject, and then as on this occasion large audience was in attendance. In his opening remarks the lecturer said that in the preceding lectures in this course some of the primary arts of war had been learned,
 and in his lecture he would give to his listen CTS some of the more permanent matters connected with the defences of large sea coast like that of the United States. He said that this country had nothing to fear from the narrow belt of land called Canada on the north, or that of Mexico on the south. There was disposition, however, in the United States at the present time to enforce the eMonroe' doctrine, and with this view the government had right to look after the | proposed Panama Canal. Leaving these con- ! alterations out of the question, we have about three thousand miles of sec coast de- 1 fences, and we are rendered particularly ia- ble from injury by water. If we have any ! trouble with foreign nations, few months time with our present defences might injure us to a very great extent. We cannot tell what injury our coastwise cities
 are exposed to by the ironclads in case of | war with a foreign nation. This Is not | 8 theoretical question, and we can do
 nothing better than to trace out the sea I coast defenses and provide for their protec- | tion. The lecturer then referred to the diff | ferent methods adopted to protect the sea- | coast from the time of the Revolutionary war | until the present time, in which he showed the advantages of steam over sailing vessels | in naval architecture down to the time of the | famous fight between the Merrimac and | Monitor In Hampton Roads The improve
 ment in guns was referred to, the speaker
 saying that the largest guns we now have are
 eight inch rife bores throwing a one hun.
 dred and sixty pound projectile. He
 said his object was to give his listeners some
 idea of torpedoes, and to this end he would 1 give them in the course of his remarks sev.
 eral illustrations of torpedoes and thei1
 effects. The General then elaboratedhis lee
 ture byscenes showing various experiments
 with torpedoes, the same being thrown upor
 canvas by powerful stereopticon in charge | of an assistant. The terrible explosive pow l CT of dynamite under water by submarine bat
 teries was not only shown upon canvas, bu
 lectured upon in a manner that commanded | the undivided attention of the large audi l ence in attendance When General Abbott had concluded with illustrations of the man
 ner in which torpedoes were exploded, ht
 was greeted with manifestations of approval
 It was most interesting lecture.

The Late Scare.


 The few people who have been so terribly frightened over smallpox have regained their senses again, and not even new rumor has started to-day. The sick are all doing well, and no new cases have been reported. The only thing of interest was the attempt of Hervey Rogers, jr., to leave his house Thurs day afternoon, before the quarantine was de- clared of, or he had been properly disinfect- ed. The special policeman guarding the house had gone to supper, and Mr. Rogers took advantage of the fact to make break for liberty. He was seen by Special Hill, who was guarding the Byron house, and there was at once an exciting race. in which Mir. Rogers came of second, after about quar- ter of mile run. The race was seen by 8 number of people, who took good care to keep out of the way, but aided one or the other of the contestants by words of encour- agement Special Hill took his captive back to the Rogers house, and he remained there until this afternoon, when the Board of Health decided to release him, as the physi- clans had decided that all danger of infection was over. He was ordered to take a bath and put on a complete new suit of clothes which had not been in the house previously. One of the Marinan boys who is i'll is report ed to be very anxious to see priest, and the policeman guarding the house has conveyed his request to the Board of Health. He is not dangerously i'll, but his request will prob ably be granted, if proper precautions are taken Meridera Repubaean, 1lth.

TAXING THE POOR.

Some of our Democratic, anti tariff
exchanges are repeating the stale
tom foolery with which they amused
their readers years ago. In glowing
terms, that would be touchingly
pathetic ifnots SO abusurdly ridiculous,
they tell of the oppression of the
poor by our tariff system. A formid
able array of taxed articles is present
ed, articles which they say enter into
every day consumption, but it takes
an exceedingly credulous man not to
know that these articles are manu-
featured at home, and consequently
not taxed at all. In portraying this
terrible oppression of the poor man,
the Memphis Appeal says:
Should the man of moderate means
feel able to keep a horse and carriage,
he must shoe his horse with 40 per
cent. taxed shoes, driven on with q
81 per cent. taxed hammer, and har
messed with a s. per cent, taxed har-
ness, trimmed with 80 cents per
pound taxed nickel plate. Then he
must ride in 35 per cent. taxed car
rlage, ironed with taxed iron, glued
with 20 per cent. taxed glue, and put
together with 8 cents per pound
taxed screws. His home, whether he
owns it or not, must be carpeted
with 40 per cent. taxed carpet, and
his table must be set with 40 per
cent. taxed plates, 35 per cent. knives
and forks; his victuals sweetened
with 70 per cent. taxed sugar sailed
with 100 per cent. taxed salt; pep
pered with 298 per cent. taxed pepper.
spiced with 308 per cent. taxed spice !;
his rice buildings with Is per cent.
taxed raisins. If thirsty he drinks
out of % per cent. taxed glass, and
eats his bread raised with 70 per cent
taxed soda; and, after eating his
well-taxed repast, perhaps he lights
his 12O per cent. taxed cigar with a
20 per cent. taxed match, and then
reclines back in his easy chair, re-
joicing that in no other country on
this habitable globe could man en-
Joy the privilege Of 80 much taxa
ton.
Just to think how this very poor
man is taxed on his horses and
carriages, his brussels carpets, his
silverp1ated knives and forks, and bis
Havana cigars. It is too utterly ut
teri But this is in keeping with the
stuff palmed off as argument and FACT
by free trade politicians.
