Erksson's Destroyer

The American Ship was the first to
discover that mysterious craft was
/ building at Delamater.s iron works in
this city for warlike purposes. The in
! ventor, Mr.. Ericsson, was inclined to say
little more than that he intended to pro-
duce a floating war engine that would be
not only invulnerable, but irresistible.
After various trials and adjustments, she
is now pronounced complete.
1t is named the Destroyer" and it
is wholly Of iron, 130 feet long, eleven
feet deep, and twelve feet wide. When
in readiness for action it is Learly sub
merged, only few inches of it raising
above the water. There is an extra and
massive armor-plate placed at an angle
of 45 degrees forward of the engine and
backed with four feet of woodwork, thus
constituting a shield to resist shot fired
from in front. The rudder is several feet
under water. The Destroyer is driven
by a 1000 horsepower engine. The
remarkable feature of the invention is
the gun and the projectile. The sub
merged gun stands on the foor of the
torpedo room just above the Keel, 1t is of
gun metal, cast in three pieces, the rear
or breech section being reinforced by
number of heavy steel rings shrung on.
The different sections are securely bolted
together, and the whole piece is 30 feet
long, with bore of 16 inches in diameter
and weighs 1900 pounds, including the
firing charge of explosives, placed in the
forward end. The terrible torpedo or
submerged shell is placed in the gun and.
the cartridge is placed behind it. The
breech block is then closed, and the
wires are connected with the electric fir
ing apparatus. The sea-valve is opened
and the gun is fired, throwing the tor
pedo directly through the water at the
enemy's ship. It leaves no disturbance
on the water, and can neither be seen,
nor avoided. No netting hung aboutthe
ship can keep it away, for it moves as
the rate of 30 feet for the first three
seconds and will travel from 400 to 700
feet, rending its way through nets or
shields till it strikes the ship and sends
her to the bottom. The sea-valve is i'm
closed after firing, and any
water that may have got in the gun is
allowed to run out at the breech and fall
into the bilge, where it is pumped out by
aid of steam siphon. The details of
the torpedo and the method of handling
it are the secrets of the inventor. The
United States Navy Department is aid
ing Capt. Ericsson with men and mate
rials in his experiment, which has thus
far proved most gratifying success.
Charles Barnard takes this view of the
matter.
'sHere then, is the American idea: An
boat with submerged gun
firing shell or torpedo of greater power
than any yet made, and before which the
lron-clad fleets of Europe are helpless.
The Destroyer" can outrun any iron
,lad afoat, she is invulnerable, fights
bows on, rushes up to within LOG feet of
her enemy, fires shot after shot in rapid
without warning, and without
noise or sign upon the water New

she had heard from Pauline. Miss
Meyer informed him how her cousin had
been searching for him, and was about
leaving for home in disgust. Schmidt
asked the cousin to accompany him to
where Pauline had engaged

ship Cimaria to-day. They arrived in
Hoboken on Thursday, and found the
young woman at hotel on the corner of

Flower Gardtn ana Laws.

If any seeding of grass or turfng is to
be done, attend to it early, that the grass
may become well established before hot
weather comes. In turing, select the
sods with care, and endeavor to intro
duce no weeds. For seeding on light
soil, red-top is best, and for heavy clay
soils use Kentucky bluegrass. Either
of these, with quart of white clover seed
to the bushel, is likely to give as good a
lawn in our climate as when mixture
of dozen kinds sown. Select only the
best seed, as there is great difference
in quality in grass seeds. A
good top.dressing of ashes, plaster,
guano, or fine bone should be given
the lawn each spring. In the planting
of trees and shrubs always preserve the
balance between the tops and roots.
While the lawn is put in proper shape
the appearance and comfort of the exte
rior Of the house should not be over
looked. Most houses have piazza or
veranda of some kind, and this should be
furnished with an abundance of climbing
vines. The following are among the best
for this purpose: Akebia, Virginia
creeper, wistarias, Dutchman's pipe,
ever-blooming honeysuckle, and climb
ing roses. For lower climbers the large
lowered kinds of clematis are desirable.
With these properly arranged, the ver-
anda of a house may be made attractive
and afford comfortable shade Ameri-

BEEF AND MUTTON IN ENGLAND.-Not-
withstanding the constant large impor-
tations of these from America and
Australia, the English papers inform us
that the prices not only keep well up
there, but are likely to continue to do SO.
This is owing mainly to the increasing
population, and the increasing pros
perity in the manufacturing districts.
Moreover, those poor people who got
meat formerly of a poor quality once
week, on account of it's high price, now
that abundant importation have placed
before them superior quality ad q lower
price, can afford to have it nearly every
day on their tables, and hence the greatly
increased consumption Of meat in the

The Romance OF a Tramp.

A Washington correspondent of the
Hartford Times, writes: During the Cen
tennial year, among the thousands who
went through the Centennial buildings
one day in July, was a tramp named
George -. AS he was passing down
the steps, after an inspection of the
building, he stumbled and fell breaking
his arm. A Capitol policeman picked
him up, and after preparing cot sent
for surgeon, who set the arm. This
over, the tramp asked the privilege of
setting around in the Capitol Park until
he got strong enough to go about again.
saying he had no money, and knew that
habitual loungers were liable to arrest
on charge of vagrancy. The desired
privilege was granted; and in addition,
an arrangement was made by which he
was given comfortable sleeping place
in the building. The officer also man
aged to bring enough food from the
boarding house to supply him. In
about two weeks the tramp gave notice
that he would start West. He was very
thankful for the kindness shown him by
the officer, and said if he ever got half a
chance he would endeavor to repay it.
The tramp met Centennial tourist from
Salt Lake City, who happened to know
his father. After talking, the tourist Of
fered to take him West if he wanted to
go. The offer was accepted, and the
Capitol policeman, Arthur Thomas, went
to the depot with them and bade them
good by.
Now let four years pass and the rest
of the story comes in. Arthur Thomas
who was Capitol policeman in 1876, is
now and has been for over year, Secre-
tary of Utah Territory, having been APP
pointed by President Hayes on the rec
ommendation of number of leading
men. Some weeks since man named
George - entered Mr.. Thomas Of
flee in Salt Lake to ascertain something
about the boundaries and survey of GER
tain sections of mineral lands. They
recognized each other and had long
talk The tramp had prospered. Be
sides having wife, he can draw and
have honored his check for 500, 600.
The ex-po1iceman and the ex-tramp can
be seen strol1ing or driving about Salt
Lake any afternoon and the wives of
each are equally inseparable.
