hundred signatures, and these, most
Is residing within the corporate linz
ITS of the town, showing conclusive
that n large majority Of the adult
citizens Of Oscoola are opposed TO
license and the return Of saloons.
We are satisfied that a canvass Of The
district embraced in the three mile
limit, outside the corporate lines, viii
develop a still stronger sentiment in
favor Of letting the three mile law
remaining as it is; and yet our rep
rasentatiye has been led by few in
terested whisky dealers 70 bell We
that the people were tired Of the law,
tired Of being sober, respectable and
decent, tired Of seeing bright, happy
smiling faces walking our streets
without fear Of being insulted by
whisky rufIians. Again We
pray, in the name Of Il once whisky
cursed community, that the legisla-
turo, and our represent tive in par
ticular, will so slow in urging tbc
repeal Of the three mile law.

LINCOLN ON MCCLELLAN.
A "Reminiscences Related by Ex-GOv
Austin Blair, of Michigan.
From the Detroit (Mich.) Free Press.

From the Detrou kMlCn'J rree NIesS.
In a recent address at Bellevlle,
Mich, ex-GOv. Austin Blair. gave an
account Of the convention of governors
of northern states that met at Altoona,
Penn, at the time Of the issuing OF h
Emancipation Proclamation by Pres.
Lincoln, in 1862. The convention was
called to bring an influence TO bear up
on President Lincoln TO induce MIN 10
issue q proclamation or do some act
that should set at liberty the 4,OO0,OOO
slaves: but the president outwitted the
% governors by issuing the proclsma-
ton the same day their convention met.
The governors then decided to go on to
Washington and present to the presi-
dent. not the urgent resolutions they
had intended, but an address compll-
menting him Upon the step ne a
taken. This address was prepared in an
able manner by Gov. Andrew, Of Massa'
cbusetts, who read j: 20 President Lin
coin as he sat at his d,\S, while the gov
ernors were seated around the room.
After that an incident happened that
Gov. Blair said he had never before re-
lated TO any one. Gov. kirkwood Of
Iowa since a United States senator and
secretary Of the interior, rose and said:
mi. PRESIDENT should be delight
ed could l return TO my home and say
TO the people of Iowa that the president
of the United States believes Gen
George b. Mcclellan is royal man.
He branched off upon other subjects
corrected with the war, n then
closed py repeating with o empha-
sis: "I should be glad, Mr.. President to
be able to tell the people of Iowa thai
YOU believe in the loyalty and patriotism
of George B. Mcclellan" .
Taking his feet down from the desk
upon which they had been resting, Hr
Lincoln sprang to his feet and straight
ened up apparently two inches tallel
than usual, and said, with much fore,
and apparent excitability: Loyal
George b. Mcclellan is as loyal as any
n ofyou." Then stopping a momen
the presidents face assumed its natu
rally pleasant look, and he continued II
a natural and pleasing tone: III tel
Won gentlemen, Gen. Mcclellan is al
exceedingly well-informed General, AM
Is very careful, in fact, too careful, an
the great trouble with him is that whei
he wins q victory he doesn't know wit
to do with it."
"Why not try somebody elseP" mildly
suggested Gov. Blair.
I'VE might do that and might lose ar
army by It." was the quick response o
the president, which Gov. Blair admitted
Completely endorsed him." -

A correspondent writes to the New

teresting account Of certain experiments
that have been made there during the

This gun was made out Of an old one by
putting on a jacket and hoops and q
bronze extension piece to lengthen the
bore. II might have been expected that
with the heavy charges that have been
used in il this composite cannon would
have gone 70 pieces in a short time, but
it has held together without perceptible
signs of weakening. The experiments
with it have cleared up certain doubtful
points, and the experience gained will
| prove exceedingly valuable in hand
ling the guns Of the new steel cruisers,
which are to be of American design and
manufacture. The size of the charge OF
powder has been determined quite sat
| isfactorily, and a very high velocity OF
/ shell was obtained with a smaller charge
| than is used in English guns Of the same
caliber. For instance, in an experiment
by Sir William Armstrong, a muzzle vel
ocity OF z,297 feet per second was OBJ
tanned with 81 tons pressure; at An
napolis, with a gun ofthe same cahber, q
muzzle velocity Of 1928 feet per second
was recorded with a pressure Of only
1872 tons. A 6S-pound ~projectile fired
with charge of habits weight, furnished
a muzzle velocity Of 2, 12O feet per sec
ond, with a pressure Of fourteen tons
The range of this ~projectile a
a high elevation, is about 81,
miles.
