Oscar Wilde ON America.

The resident London correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times sends spicy inter.
view with Oscar Wilde on the day of his
arrival in London. The apostle Of sestheti-
cism saws:
The average American is narrow minded
and ignorant; d magnificent liar, resembling
The Rna!'sh IN all their bsd points. but
none of their good ones; having no respect,
and utterly wanting in veneer ,tion.
"Amerlcan newspapers" said Oscar,
were fill or news. written with mini
mum amount of brains and in good English
but put together without regard TO truth or
dsccncy. They the ..newsraper>l were
stamped viii. IL c;npt1snc5. Tiers was no

magazines and periodicals were but elelnen-
tary. In the States there was foundation
toi an excellent school OF literature but at
present i, was too clani5h." IN tevly to the
query, Are you going back to America
ever?" Oscar replied, mot I, indeed"
From other sources the correspondent learn
ed that Oscar had told the following story
IN regard to his escapade just before sailing:

WASHINGTON NEWS
saturday, January ~.

sKnArx.-The senate disposed OF routine
business early in the session, and then pro.
ceeded to consider the tariff bill The de-
bate was long, tedious and, except to those
engaged In the speech making, exceedingly
dull.
A very late session was held, the metal
schedule occupying the day.
In the cou rse of the debate Mr.. Beck
again attacked the tariff commission. He
said that no body of men more artiully con-
cealed their deceptive designs than that
commission, adding that 1t went to work
Deliberately to deceive conaress and the
country: tie was particularly Severe on
Messrs. Porter and Skinner of the commits
sion.
The principal changes. made in the bill
to-day were in the direction OF reduction.
Bnt some of the attempts made to reduce
duties were unsuccessful, and the reduc.
tons generally were not 80 great as some of
them have been. Barbed wire was ordered
to g OF cent pound.
HousE.-The tariff di .cussion in the house
was not enlivened by any exciting scenes,
but was remarkable for the interest mani
tested Sy the members in the remarks of
Ness 8. Mckinley and Carlisle. Both must
have been greatly Aattered by the throngs Of
eager associates, who utilized every avail
able spot to hear what was being said by
these giants in behalf OF their positions.
There were few Interruptions of the speakers,
and these were of minor importance, and
did not perceptibly hinder the progress of
the debate. 1t was uns,erstood that when
the hour arrived for closing general debate
that motion would be made on tie part vf
the democrats to suspend the rules, aud pass
the o1ll without further discussion.

From the Columbia Register, s. C.
Tuesday evening last the train going
north on the Air Line railroad was board
cd at spartanburg by young couple
from the country, who took a place in
the middle of the car, the lady sitting
next the window. The train had been
moving but very few minutes when the
lady suddenly jumped up and screamed
My Lord! I'm all afre!" Both husband
and wife 'piled out" into the aisle. the
lady with her dry goods at prominent
elevation and spanking and rubbing
n,s,l.eaeo husband. Every
passenger in the car was
aroused, One man called to the hus-
band to wrap his overcoat around the
lady; another passenger pulled the bell
cord and stopped the train. For a few
minutes "pandemonium reiened su-
preme" in the car. Everybody was
looking for fire and everybody saw
everything but fire.
>. Alter the lady Gained down it came to
ilght that she had been sitting with one
loot upon the ledge through which the
heating pipes run. The register imme-
o'ately under being open she received
Il startling and unexpected hot blast.
which surprised her and caused the con,
fusion which followed. The man who
wanted her saved with an overcoat ia
going into the salvage business. The
man that stopped the train will never

The Calling Gun.
From the Washington Capital.


At trial at the navy yard of this city
on the 18th inst, before a board OF naval
officers testing the effects of some in,-
provements recently made on the gun,
the results were entirely satisfactory to
the distinguished inventor and aston
islling, to all who witnessed it. The gun
has been heretofore great success, and
in popular demand by the leading gov
ernments of the world, but with the inn
provements recently added by DR.. Cat
ling it seems to have reached degree OF
perfection never before attained by any
weapon of war.
In the trial referred to the new and i'm
proved method Of supplying the cart
ridges to the gun, load ing and firing was
found to be very nearly perfect, secur-
ing increased rapidity and effectiveness
in execution. One hundred shots were
fired in two and six-tenths seconds, and
8l6 rounds in fortytwo seconds.
This improvement has not only in
creased the rapidity and directness of
fire, but also enables it to deliver "hiyh
angles" or mortar fire at the rate Of 200
shots per minute, the bullets falling with
wonderful precision and effect, As shown
by experiments at all ranges from 200 to
$500 yards. The bullets so discharged
strike the ground in their descent with
sufficient force to penetrate from two to
three inches OF pine boards.
This is a wonderful achievement, and
places this magnificent gun far ahead of
all machine guns. No nation can now
afford to 80 to way without supply of
these guns, and, as in peace is the time
to prepare for war, our own government
should be as wise rs others and fully
supply its needs, that war may cease
from the earth.
Before these guns, unimproved, used
by the English the serried ranks of the
Egyptians melted away, and in a brief
time Gen. Wolseley rode triumphantly
over conquered Egypt.
