The Tow Pistol Again.

We have been shown another toy pistol, said
to be much deadlier than the one described in
yesterdays PRESS. The one referred to has a
barrel about three inches, or IL inches long,
and this barrel swings off on a swivel, just be-
yond the hammer, to allow the introduction OF
a blank cartridge. The boy is apt to put his
hand over the muzzle of the pistol, and as
there is no half-cock for the hammer, the ham,
mer slips, the pistol is discharged, and the
wadding driven with the force of a ball into
the palm of the hand over the muzzle. These
Yenomous little things cost % cents.

from Gen. Neal Dow:
PORTLAND, 7 July, 1882
Dear Sir-I am just home from Western
Pennsy.v ania, and find your note of 26 June.
In reply, 1 have TO say that | have known Col.
Robbie we'll for many years, as temperance
man and a prohibitionist. Personally, Ia
yored the nomination of Mr.. Thomas, and was
afraid of the candidature OF Mr.. Robe because
he was urged by certain deacons and other
"rummies' in the eastern part of the state
whom supposed to have ulterior views for
their reference; but I am assured by Col. Robe
that he is changed in nothing except perhaps
in more earnest views of the importance to in
diyiduals, and of the wisdom of prohibition for
the state, with which policy he is and always
has been in hearty sympathy.
Respectfully, NEAL Dow.

placed in the middle Of this hollow sphere not
only would the moon have space to circle i'll
IT'S usual orbit without ever getting outside OF
the solar shell, but there would be room also
for second satellite, nearly a. far again AZ
the moon, to accomplish similar course The
weight of the sun is three hundred Thousand
times the weight of the earth, or in round
numbers, two thousand millions Of million, o.
millions of millions Of tons Tho mean dis
lance of the sun from the earth is now so
well asccrtained, through Investigations which
have been made in sareal district ways, that
there can scarcely be in the estimate an error
