The Improved Calling Gun.

At a trial at the Navy Yard of this city.
on the 18th ult.. before board of naval
officers testing the effects of some improve
ments recently made on the gun. the re-
suits were entirely satisfactory to the dis
tinguished inventor and astonishing to all
who witnessed it. The gun has been
heretofore a great success and in popular
demand by the leading governments of
the world. but with the improvements re-
Gently added by DIR. Calling it seems to
have reached a degree of perfection never
before attained by any weapon of war.
In the trial referred to the new and inn
proved method of supplying the cartridges
to the gun, loading and firing was found
to be very nearly perfect, securing in
creased rapidi,y and effectiveness in exc
cution. One hundred shots were fired in
two and sixth-tenths seconds, and SIC
rounds in forty-two seconds.
This improvement has not only increased
the rapidly and directness of fire. but also
enables it to deliver .high angle" or NOR
tar fire at the rate of 1900 shots per minute,
the bullets falling with wonderful pre-
cision and effect, as show by experiments
at all ranges from 200 to $500 yards. The
bullets so discharged strike the ground in
their descent with sufficient force to pene-
trate from two to three inches of pine
boards. This is awonderful achievement,
and places this magnificent gun far ahead
Of all machine guns. No nation can now
afford to go to war without supply of these
guns. and rs in peace is the time to pre-
pare for war, our own government should
be as wise as others and fully supply its
needs. that wars may cease from the earth.
Before these guns, unimproved, used by
the English, the serried ranksIof the Egyp-
tians melted away. and in brief time
Gen. Wolseley rode triumphantly over
conquered Egypt Washington Capital.

AT the great Centennial Exhibition Of 1876, the

was a task of ordinary difficulty. Inventions and

given to rubber Porous plasters was awarded 10 the

{. b. WHITE, NJ. D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLEIsCH. NJ. d., Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by the
medical jury the last Paris Exposition. Knowing
the value of such high and unbiased testimony the
medical profession, both in the United States aud in
Europe, quickly threw aside the old, slow-aciing
plasters they had been using. and adopted Benson's
in their regular practice. That physicians and
geons the broaest regulations did this distinctly
proves the intrinsic merit of the article.
Ii is no more than just to add that the average
physician of to day is not dominated by the prrju-
dices which retarded the progress and modified the
successes of his predecessors of not more than %
wears ago. He accepts hints from all quarters and
endorses and adopts demonstrated healing agents
wherever he finds them.
The right of Bensons Calcne Porous Plaster TO

Butte Inter-Mountain: The cause Of
last nights excursion Of the 3-7-77 was
rs follows: Harry Gundy, a man about
thirty years old, arrived here from Ne
vada about three months ago. He was
a miner by trade, and has been employ
ed in different mines during his sojourn
in our midst. He was of rather dissipat-
ed habits, but not thought to be espe
cially harmful until last Thursday morn
ing, when his innate cussedness broke
out in a bestial attack on a ten-year Old
girl, the daughter Of one of our most re-
speted citizens living in the upper part
Of town. He was frustrated in his de-
signs, but the little victim still bears the
bruises Of the brute about her person.
This was followed by a similarly unsuc-
cessful attempt on two little girls yester-
day morning. The human hyena was
waited upon by the committee of safety
last evening and escorded TO an old shaft
house on the outskirts of the city, where
he was fully identified by his intended
victims and other parties, an1 sentence
pronounced upon him. 1t was really q
dramatic scene-the old ruined shaft
house, the half light of the bright moon
shining through the chinks and cracks
IA the walls, tho grim body cf determin-
ed men, the covering craven. on whose
worthless carcass the rays of a dark
lantern were thrown-the only CLEAN Of
light in that gloom Swallowed scene-all
tended to make solemn the silence,
which was only broken by the swish of
the descending lash on the culprit's
back. 1t was not until sixty-four lashes
had been administered that the execu-
toner ceased, and that the brute was
unbound. He then started on the road
ont of the country, followed by an escort
for some distance, and warned that the
fate in store for him should he ever re-
turn would be a secluded nook in the
graveyard, where the daisies and daffo-
dis would nod to each other over his
remains in very glee that the fair face Of
mother earth had been rid of a thing so
vile. The affair was conducted with
quietness and dispatch, no excitement,
no mistakes-the victim confcssing his
crime in the presence Of his intended
victims. The county has been saved a
considerable bill of expense and the
community rid of a miscreant whose
very presence polluted the air we
breathe.

VALDosTA, GEORGIA, July 20, 1882
II sold n Of your Patent Dust Proof
Cases about ten months ago, and the
other day it came back to me with the
request to make it wind easier. On
examination found that the stem was
rusty, and inquired into the cause of it.
The gentlemen stated to me that he was
starting some saw-logs hat had lodged
in the bend Of the river, when his chain
caught in a bush and threw his watch
into about twelve feet Of water, and he
was about two hours finding it. When
he got it ont it was running and he
thought all right. In about three
months he found that the stem was hard
to turn and sent it to me.
l can say that the watch is all that the
company claims for it and recommend
it to railroad and mill men.

These watches are all open face, The
bezel, into which an extra strong crystal
is fitted with an especially prepared
waterproof cement, is attached to the
ease by screwing it thereon, and thus
forms an alright junction with the
