Captain Ericsson's Torpedo Boat, tho De

The New York Times says that what
looked like long black box, taperin2
at both ends, with lead-colored box
on top of it and a black smoke-stac
running up through the middle, lay at
the New York wharf. 1t was Captain
John Ericsson's torpedo boat Destroyer,
which the inventor thinks, will destroy
vessels that are impregnable to shot
thrown against their sides. In the gun,
which pointed out at the bow, about
eight feet below the surface of the wa
ter, was q long steel cylinder. This
was the projectile which in war should
be supplied with torpedo at the conf
cal-shaped tip, to explode on striking
the side of a ship and blow her to pieces.
In the experiments a net will be low
cred into the sea to serve as target and
to be fired at at distances of from 800
to 500 feet. On the bow of the little
craft, which was almost submerged,
were two wooden floats to support the
net in the water. The projectiles arc
hollow and made so that they will float.
The tendency to rise is so carefully adj
justed as not to interfere with the flight
under the water or to destroy the aim.
They are expected to come to the sur
face about 700 feet from the vessel, and
they will pursue a perfectly horizontal
course for 500 feet at least. They will
travel the first 800 feet in three seconds,
or a little less. They weigh 1,5OO pounds
each. In the experiments there will be
no occasion to use the torpedoes. The
object will be to test the distance of
flight and the accuracy of aim. The
experiments heretofore have been con-
Quoted in still water, and the firing off
Sandy Hook will be the first deep sea
practice. The Destroyer has attained
speed of seventeen knots an hour, and
her fullest capacity has not been reach
ed. Although her hull proper is almost
entirely under water, she is seaworthy,
for everything can be battened down
and no water can get into her. Blowers
ventilate the boat perfectly. All her
working apparatus is below water. and
it would be next to impossible to dis
able her in an engagement. If the iron
house built on top of her and her smoke
stack were knocked off entirely it would
make no difference. She would be as
serviceable as ever. A steel plate 10
inches in thickness is set in front of the
pilots position to defect balls if they
should strike there. The pilot is entire
ly surrounded by iron-work. and looks
out through small hole on level with
his eyes to get his bearings. He can
touch off the gun when he goes in exact
range, and Immediately back off to
safety. There is a dummy plug at the
opening in the boat where the projectile
goes out. This is shot away with the
projectile, and valve closes over the
hole to keep out the water. Only
enough water to fill the gun can get in
anyway, and this can be quickly pump
ed out by . steam siphon. So there is
no danger from this source. There is
no room to spare on the boat but suffi-
Gent for the uses required. The De-
stroyer is the only craft that shoots .
torpedo under water.

A, person, who describes himself as a
descendant of Leofric and Godiya,"
has written to London newspaper
protesting against the Godiva festivity
at Coventry. He is indignant that the
memory of his fair ancestress and ex-
cellent ancestor should be kept alive
only by a fable-a fable, too, which, as
he says. is "a disgrace to English his
tory" This descendant tries to
show that Godiva never did ride naked
through the market place, and that
Leofric, Earl of the Mercians, who is
spoken of by Mr.. Tennyson as the
Grim Earl, " was wise statesman,
loyal subject, and a devoted husband.

A $4,000 BLAZE
Musselman's Warehouse and all its
Contents Destroyed!
And n Frame Dwelling Close
by it!
About 10000 Bushels of Wheat
Burnedi

On Tuesday afternoon last about 4
o'clock the large Grain Warehouse of
Musselman G Co., on the north side of
the railroad, near the depot, was dis
covered by a small boy in the building
to be on fire in the Engine room, and
before the alarm could bring assistance
the magnificent structure was beyond
human power to save, so rapidly did
the elements flash through it. 1t is a
complete pile of ruin, not even a sack of
grain, books, safe, or any movable arti-
Gle was taken out. The loss cannot be
much short of $4,000, considerable of
which will fall upon farmers who had
their grain stored in the building. There
is from $4,000 to $1,000 insurance on
the building and it's contents, most of
which is carried in companies represent
ed by Messrs. Hubbard & Peters. A
fine two story dwelling standing but a
few rods north of the grain house, also
owned by the Musselmans, and which
was occupied by Quinn & Son, is a COM
plete wreck. The Quinns succeeded in
getting most of their furniture out before
it burned. 1t is impossible to give any
thing definite as to the loss at present,
as our forms were lei rly made up when
the alarm was sounded, but will do so
in full next week.

The Bay City Morning Call, of the 2lst,
pays its respects to the NORTHERN TRI-
BUNE in more than column. Its spirit
is genial, its style clever. In fact 1t does
not lack dash, and it is our pleasure to
recognize in the Democracy tendency
to literary elegance. The Calm the light
of Republican administration of law,and
of its inspiration to use the language with
its moral granduer, has absorbed enough
good sense But with the advantages he
has enjoyed there is an occasional break
of the true Democratic inwardness. For
instance, "Jhe verdict Ill Ohio is only an
index of the general condemnation
awaiting the organized hypocrisy In
1884," The Call here lis a little rude.
Hypocrisy" is not true of any great
party of this republic. There may be
mistakes, honest differences Of opinion.
but hypocrisy has no place in the Amer
lean mind. 1t is with pleasure, however.
we recognize in our contemporary grow
ing signs of courtesy. 1t is too much to
ask Of Democrat that he should be up
in all proprieties at once. Between 1884
and 1888, with the advantages of another
Republican national administration, the
Call man will have 50 improved In his
tastes that the Democracy cannot forget
him, especially so when he is one OF the
few who is devoted to its respectability'
One thing is certain, another four
years will, with sedulOT study, improve
the opportunities of the Democracy that
they might be intrusted with managing
the government. Before such time the
American people cannot think of sur
rendering their national honor to the
keeping of those who have to forget so
much, before they can be said to learn
the genius Of those laws that have placed
us first in everything. Democracy has
not yet learned that this is nation.
1t has nos quit its barbarous free trade
notions. 1t is without any training in
finance. 1t is out of order with progress.
These lessons are important.
The Call must know something more
than linking the faults of the Republi-
can party together. Democracy must
possess its own virtues. 1t has a knack
of calling hard names. This will do for
an alarm-a mere alarm, but for plat
form it is too thin. The Call has
abundant field for its usefulness in train
ing the unwashed to the habits and
usages of refined expression. 1t can
well hold over its ambition till 1888, as
then the government will have solid
trend. The Democracy, as a ballast
power, is rational enough, but to have
the Presidency, the people don't think of
such thing. The chemical feat0f "Ex-
tracing sumbeams from Cucum bers" is
new departure. and for this the Call is
TO be congratulated.
