AN HISTORIC SPOT.
The Old Upper Fkinsalc Plantation 20 he
Turned into a Summer Resort.

Turned into Summer Resort.
The old plantation of 500 acres, now the
property Of Capt. James Albert Clark, which
adioins the Colonial Beach property on the
north, is to be turned into general summer
resort. Tho plantation for generations was
known as Upper Kinsale, and so appears on
the Westmoreland county records. This old
stretch Of shore has history reaching back
to colonial times, and its wealth of classic
story has given rise to the name Classic Shore,
which it will bear hereafter. In the time Of
the colonies q spacious mansion was erected
here Of brick imported from England and it
stood boldly out on the bluff twenty five feet
above high water mark until 1872 when the
British guns from the feet which assembled
the river toward Washington riddled it,.
From that time the plantation began to fall
into decay, and the huge pile Of bricks now
forming mound IN the vegetable garden on
the place, is the only relic of stately edifce
that would have done credit to the imaginary
planters mansion which Thaokeray so grace,
fully depicted in Harry Esmond.b
Classic Shore Is the central plantation on
the river, bounded on the north by Rosters
creek and on the south by Monroe creek, the
latter taking its name from the estate of the
Monroes, which adjoined on the west. This
part Of the Potomac was centrally located on
what was known in the revolutionary crisis
as the Northern Neck, and enthusiastically
mentioned by Irving, LOSING, Bancroft, Mar
shall, and Sparks as the Athens of America.
Every inch of this shore is classic ground, aud
it is now being transformed into pleasant
summer resort by Capt. Clark. The original
design of Colonial Beach precudes public
excursions from landing there, as domestic
quiet and rural retreat, on the plan of LIE
Droit park was the intention of its founder,
But, as there are hundreds in Washington
who may never own a cottage there, but
would, nevertheless, enjoy trip to the ad-
the beach could interchange visits, it was
deemed advisable to open resort on an ex-
tensive scale, where a dining room large
enough to accommodate an entire steamer
load of passengers could be seated. This is
now being done

THE eRusoN SHIELD.
II is Nothing so New or Strange rs TO
RcvoIutionize Coast Warfare.

Rovolutionize Coast Warfare.
An article In the New York Sun of Monday
treated Of the Gruson shield as q German in
vention, which renders navies inefficient and
may protect any coast against tho battering Of
tho outside world. Struck with its import
ance if true, and with some doubts, a repre-
sentative of The REPUBLICAN called at the
war office, and was politely referred by Gen
McKeever to Gen. Benot, of the ordnance
division. Gen. Benet had not read the arti-
Gle in question, but on hearing that it as
sumed on the strength of some English
authority that the naval lesson said TO hayo
been taught by tho disastrous bombardment
of Alexandria was all lost because Of the
Gruson shield he said that he thought that
was putting it too strong, and called TO Mr..
Smith to bring him the latest about armor
for forts While waiting he recommended
that Chief Engineer Wright be soon, as he
was tho gentleman bost posted.
II have to do with the guns that try to
demolish the coast defenses," said Gen. Benet,
"and not with the armor"
But just then Mr.. Smith came in with q
book, which tho general opened, Temarking
that he hoped il wasn't In German. 1t was
in French and full of illustrations. 1t ap-
peared from this report upon the Gruson
armor which was made In 1879, that it Is
hHue WIN view OF projecting IOTlS WlVn
thick blocks of chilled iron, and that IL is in
tended for casemate firing, whereas barbette
firing is the modern style of coast defense.
81 guess" said Gen. Benct, that 1t Is not
so very new or important as the article you
mention would seom to Indicate"
well, general, suppose the forts guarding
the approach by sea to New York were COW
cred with this Gruson shield of chilled iron
five feet thick, would 1t not protect tho
cityp
well, no. Hore Is New York drawing
rough lines with a poncil) aud hore are Forts
Hamilton and Wadsworth, about six or seven
miles below. Now, suppose this armor were
put on the fort. II would be no better than
an embankment Of earth, and earth is
plenty behind each fort. But admitting that
IL is better, why couldn't the attacking fleet
throw shot and shell over the fort into the
city,"
What, seven miles2"
"Oh, yes. When l was at West Point
threw shot miles, and then we were cautious
with our popguns not to use more than one
fourth the weight Of the projectile in powder.
Now they use one-half and have guns that
will throw ton shot or 10 mlles-the
ton guns Can you imagine q gun at Fort
Hamilton that could keep the Lefante SO far
away that she couldn't throw she'll into
New York ?"
of course the barbette firing, and the case
mate firing, and the angles of embrasures
were all Greek to the listener, but the COM
mon sense of the explanation as to throwing
shots over fort into city was plain enough.
