a Vraitorous ARMY.

1t now appears that the recent CHILEAN vic
tory at Mirafiores was not due to the proves
of the enemy so much as to the treason in the
Peruvian ranks. At the termination OF the
battle near Mirafores, five or six miles from
Lima, the Peruvians held the advantage, and
might, by one more determined and prompt
effort, have made themselves master of the sit
uation. At a critical moment, however, while
President Pierrola was asleep, the traitorous
chiefs disbanded their forces, and, assuring
them that the Gillian hordes would soon be
swarming through Lima and Callao, robbng,
pillaging and devastating, advised them to an
ticipate the ChiGans and ''help themselves to
whatever they wanted" A scene of devasta-
ton such as has been seldom equaled, ensued,
and only the supreme efforts of the foreigners
prevented those cities from being given over to
general pillage. A more shameful story has
seldom been written.

terrible Guns,

ThefavOrite paradox Of humanitarians,
that war will be made impossible by the
use OF perfect weapons, OCCURS to one
reading accounts of recent experiments
at Shoeburyness. Six machine guns -
for ordinary Martini-Henry cartridges
were tested. 4 two barreled "Gardner"
fired 1876 shots, one at time, in half a
minute. A ten-barreled long Gatling I"
revolver, fed from hopper, and worked
by one man, fired $50 shots in half a
minute. A fve-barreled "Gardner, :"
worked by three persons, fred 288 shots
in the half minute, though two blocks
occurred in the machinery. A ive-bar-
relied Nordenfeldt fired $50 shots III the
same time. A four barreled Pratt
Whitney fred $50 rounds In the half
minute. The weapons were then tried
with 1000 rounds each-each shot to
be fired singly, an important feature
as the Nordenfeldt can fire i'm volley or
"in file." The two-barreled 6. Gardner !"
got off the thousand rounds in two
minutes and fifty-seven seconds. The
ten-barreled long Calling was blocked
more than once, but fired 9S7 rounds in
two minutes less a second-thirteen car
tridges being dropped at the block which
occurred. The firing with the five-bar-
relied Gardner resulted in the 1000
rounds being worked off in one minute
and thirty-fve seconds. The five-bar-
relied Nordenfeldt bad block, caused
by defective cartridge, and the gun
was emptied, the cartridge rammed out,
and the whole was set into working order
SO rapidly that, including the stoppage,
! ,O19 cartridges were fire in two minutes
and forty-two seconds. The ten-barrel-
ed short Gatling fred off the 1000
rounds In one minute. The ''Pratt-
Whitney had no representative present,
and it had the good fortune to be work
ed by two royal artillery officers, assist
ed by a royal artillery gunner. 1t
scored the 1000 rounds III one minute
and fOrty-one seconds.

Am Awful Doom.

A party of turpentine makers at work in the
forest near Carthage, Moore county, \. c., on
the night of the 18th inst, met horrible death
IN the midst of fierce gale which swept that
region. 1t seems they constructed a rude shan
ty between two lofty pine trees the roof of the
hut being thatcled, and huge boulders placed
thereon to keep the straw and boughs in place
During the night the storm felled the trees.
and precipitated the cabin roof, with its fearful
weight, upon the thirteen sleeping men be-
meath. Ten were literally crushed to death,
and their bodies consumed with the debris,
which ignited from the camp fire near by.
Three of the men managed to drag themselves
away from the horrid spot, although badly
maimed

A Coon that Would NOT be freed.

James Stewart, of Georgia, was in a
swamp with his dogs and an axe. The
dogs found a coon proving around in
the woods and pitched into it for the
sake of gratifying the general antipathy
dogs have for coons and love they have
for fighting. The coon was in no wise
10th to have bout with it's natural enc
mics, but made demonstrations that con-
vinced Mr.. Stewart that he could not be
an idle spectator. the dogs made COM
bined attack-one in front, one in the
rear and one circled around generally to
distract the assailed as to which should be
the objective point. General Coon fixed
himself firmly. and with one blow of his
right paw knocked out the right eye of his
front assailant, which demoralized and
sent him bowling to the rear. AS quick
as lightning it then concentrated on the
rear assailant, planted his teeth in the
burr of that dogs ear and soon made
shoestrings of it. Poor CAMS went yelp-
ing after his brother and cooney went
for Stewart before he had time to realize
that his dogs were defeated With
rush he dashed upon his leg and with
his tremendous claws ripped the tough
leather of his boot from the top of his
leg to the sole, and caused him to retreat.
Cooney might then have escaped. but
wishing to make sure of IFS victory il
followed the flying Stewart, who came
upon his axe, and grasping the helye
firmly, wheeled upon the enraged brute
and cleft his head in twain.
