Krupp, the great gun.maksr, has intro
duced new kind Of powder, which Is de-
servedly creating quite sensation among
experts, inasmuch as It may lead 10 the dis
use Of the black powder. 1t is known under
the modest name Of brown powder, owing to
Its peculiar celer, which resembles that Of
chocolate or cscos, and owes its discovery to
. mere accident. According to the reports
on the trials hitherto made, the brown pow.
der has \ decided advantage over the black
In producing . greater velocity, with an equal
pressure Of gas, and being applicable to guns
Of every calibrs. The remarkable fact about
1t Is, that 1t explodes only In tightly closed
space, while in the open cir or In the powder
box 1t ignites slowly and without explosion,
although II 10 said to consist Of saltpetre,
sulphur and char,osl like the black powder,
the difference consisting 10 the relative pro-
portions Of these Ingredients. 1t IL supposed
that the degree Of carbonization Of the wood,
from which the charcoal is made, plays q
prominent part in the new discovery, - the
color Of the powder seems to indicate; ~
also that the dangerous explosions In mix
ing and preparing 1t may hsncsforth be pre-
vented. OF special strategic Importance Il
the fact that the smoke Of the brown powder
Is much thinner and hsucs will more quickly
disappear than that produced by the black
powder. Trials srs now making in all ths
larger artillery services ON the Coutinent.

MoNoSYLLABLE POEM.


The following remarkable poem, illustra-
tive Of the power of short words in the En-
glish language, was composed by the late J.
Addison Alexander:
Think not that strength lies in the big round
word,
Or that the brief and plain must needs be
To whom can this be true who once has
The cry for help, the tongue that all men
speak,
When want, or woe, or fear is at the throat,
So that each word gasped out is like ashriek
Pressed from the sore heart, or strange,
wild note.
Sung by some fay or hend? There is strength
Which dies IL stretched too far orspun too
fine,
Which has more height than breadth, more
depth than length.
Let but this force Of thought and speech be
mine,
And he that will may take the sleek, fat
phrase,
which glows and burns not, though it
gleam and shine;
Light, but not heat-a fash without blaze.
Nor is it mere strength that the short word
boasts;
1t serves Of more than fight or storm to tell
The roar Of waves that dash the rock bound
coasts,
The crash of tall trees when the wild winds
swell,
The roar of guns, the groans of men that
die
On blood-stained fields. 1t has q voice, as
well,
For them that far off on their sick-beds lie
For them that weep, for them that mourn
the dead,
For them that laugh, and dance, and clasp
the hand.
The joy's. quick step, As well as griefs low
tread,
The sweet. plain words we learn at first
keep time,
And, though the theme be sad, or gay, or
grand,
With each, with all, these may be made to
chime
In tho1ght, or speech, or song. or prose, OF
rhyme

The maid, and thereby hangs n tale,
For such maid no Whitsun ale
Could ever yet produce;
No grape that's kindly ripe could be
So round, so plump, SO soft as she,
Nor half SO full Of juice.
Her finger was so small, the ring
Would not stay on, which they did bring;
II was too wide peck;
And, 10 say truth-for out IL must
1t looked like the great collar-just-
About our young colts neck.
Her feet beneath her petticoat,
Like little mice, stole in and out,
As If they feared the light;
But oh, she dances such way!
No sun upon an Easter day
Is half SO fine a sight
Her cheeks so rare white was on,
No daisy makes comparison
lWho sees them is undone);
For streaks of red were mingled there,
Such As are on Cath'rine pear,
The side that's next the sun.
Her lips were red; and one was thin,
Compared to that was next her chin,
Some bee had stung it newly;
But, Dick, her eyes 80 guard her face,
| durst no more upon them gaze
Than on the sun in July.
Her mouth so small, when she does speak,
Tkou'dst swear her words her teeth did break
That they might passage get;
But she so handled still the matter,
They came as good as ours, or better,
And are not spent whit,

Great wealth and exalted station are no
safeguard against the commonest ills that
befall humanity. 1t Is just announced that
that honorsd lady, Harriet Lane, has lost
her husband, Henry Z. Johnston, the Balti-
more banker. Sorrows have fallen thick
and fast upon her in recent years. When
visited at wheatland moro than year ago
they were then in mourning for their eldest
son, James Buchanan Johnston. The other
son was convalsscIng from the same disease
that had carried of his brother, and the
parents hurried with him to Europe In the
hope Of saving his life. They had scarcely
reached Paris before he, too, was dead. The
parents never recovered from this terrible
blow. They closed their splendid home In
Park avenue, Baltimore, and the wealth that
had been largely expended in hospitality was
devoted to charitable purposes. In memory
Of their children, they founded and amply
endowed the Harriet Lane Johnston Hos
pital for girls and . training school for
nurses. Mrs. Johnston withdrew from the
society in which she had been most promi.
nent, and rarely left the house except on
missions Of religion and mercy. Mr.. John
ston failed rapidly in health and retired from
the control Of the great banking house. His
death now leaves his distinguished widow
lonely indeed. Their sons were bright,
manly lads, full Of mental and physical
vigor, and gave promise Of growing into no.
BILE manhood.
The last time I saw Harriet Lane In the
streets Of Baltimore, grief had worn deep
lines in that handsome face that seemed 50
attractive aud so digniied under Its crown
Of abundant white hair. One Of her chief
solaces in recent years has been the issuing
of Curtis's life Of her uncle. She was TO
him moro Of . daughter than . niece, and
she has been comparatively happy in the be-
lief that the book has indicated him ~ .
patriot and statesman.

MOSES RECORD.
His swindling Operations in Massachu-
sets.

Moses Boston record is as follows, says
the Boston Globe: About five months
ago he went to ex-Mayor Green and said
his name was Middleton, and that he was
a lawyer of South Carolina. He inquired
of the eX-MayOr the names of the people
in this city belonging to the Society of the
Cincinnati, and was re ferred to several
gentlemen. On April he called on
Col. HigginsOn, of Cambridge, and rep
resented to him that he was a lawyer of
South Carolina, and had visited Montreal
on business. Coming from that city, he
said, his wallet, containing all his money
and private papers, had been stolen from
him on the train, and he wished to bor-
row enough money to take him home.
During the conversation he ascertained
that Col. HigginsOn had been introduced
to a Capt. j. d. Bryan ofSouth Carolina,
and upon being asked by the Colonel if
he knew such person replied
that he was the man. On the strength
of this statement, Col. Higginson let him
have S34. After he had left Col. Higgin-
son became suspicious that he had been
swindled, and wrote a letter to friend in
South Carolina, asking about Capt.
Bryam, In reply he received word that
Capt. Bryan had not been in Boston for
number of years. Col. HigginsOn re-
ported the case to Inspector Gerraughty,
and the latter, from information received
from another source, concluded that
Moses was the culprit. The inspector
wrote to Inspector Byrnes of New York,
asking for Moses picture, No. 676 in the
rogues' album; and when it was shown to
Col. HigginsOn he identified it as that of
the man to whom he gave the money.
Moses also went to a. Williams, who
formerly kept the book store corner of
School and Washington streets. and,
making the same representations, OBJ
tanned $40 from him. He also visited
another ex-MayOr of this city. and said
his name was William X. Simmons and
that his brother was Speaker of the House
of Representatives of South Carolina. He
told the same story-that of losing his
wallet on the way from Montreal-and
obtained $40. The last heard of him was
when he went to a Mr.. Lawrence, living
on the Back Bay. He there gave a
fictitious name and made the same repre-
sensations; but Mr.. Lawrence would not
give him any money unless he could get
some one to identify him. Moses ac-
knowledged that this was the proper way,
and left, pretending to go in search of
DRrty to identify him.

Keifer at Work.

Keifer has a marvellous amount OF
cheek. 1t Is impossible to make him I'M
derstand that the people, even of his own
Congressional district, have no further
use for him. The House, last session,
adopted two reports concerning him,
either or which would have caused a SEN
sitive man to seek Obscurity. But Keller is
uota sensitive man. The reports declared
that he improperly used the patronage
under his control while Speaker, and that
he made a false statement on the floor OF
the House in his controversy with Gen.
Bovnton. but they had no effect on him as
far as anybody could see. He is now
seeking a denomination to Congress.
He is making a very earnest canvass OF
his district and is attracting attention by
the fulsome way in which he speaks OF
himself He declares that he has done
more for the soldiers than any man who
was ever in Congress. This is saying
Oood deal. of course, but keifer doesn't
fear contradiction because he knows that
nobody Will take the trouble to contradict
him. He is making speeches all over the
district. the burden of which is that he is
so great man at Washington that he eX-
cites jealousy and the newspapers, in
spired by his enemies, prosecute him. He
has set I'D a printing press and issues
daily campaign paper, which he fills with
flattering notices of himself. He does not
anpear to see that his manner Of seeking
a denomination is disgusting to the best
men his district, but then Keifer never
did see anything but himself. 1t isn't at
All nrobable that he will be renOminated.

Doctor and Lepers Restrained.


DR.. O'Donnell is in trouble. He fears
that he will not be able to take his two
lepers East, where he has been anticipating
considerable pleasure in exhibiting them.
He has been threatened with arrest if he
attempts to take his two examples of the
terrible disease through the streets on
Sunday, when he proposes to leave for the
East in a special car, fitted up for the use
of the unfOrtunates. This morning he
called on Mayor Bartlett to obtain per-
mission to take the lepers away, but was
assured that he would be arrested il
he did so. He then appeared before
the Health and Police Committee,
and asked them to interfere and
allow him to proceed without molesta-
ton. He assured them that 1000 men
had pledged their lives to protect him
and his lepers and secure their departure
for the East, and was vigorous in his as
sertions that he had no desire to see
blood sned, which he feared would be if
the authorities interfered with him. He
exhibited photographs of some horrible
cases of leprosy and elephantiasis, and
stated that there were to be found 800
like them in Chinatown. But among the
photographs shown were some which viii
tax the credulity of Eastern people when
they are told that they can be found here,
for they show background of palms, or
a reed hut, or tropical vegetation, or are
dressed in the barbafic costume peculiar
to the Malay peninsula, the FIJI Islands,
Suma.ra, Africa. etc. The features of
many Of these are such as are met with
in the places above named. The COM
mIttee did not see what it could do to
help DIR. 0'Donnen in his trouble, but was
of the opinion that he should be allowed
to take his lepers East for the benefit Of
the opponents Of the exclusion bill.

services over the remains of a farmer to
be buried from his home in the country
In the hurry and excitement, added to the
fact that his buggy broke down on the
trip, the good man arrived at the last
moment. Without waiting to hold any
extended conversation with the friends
of the deceased, he led in singing hymn,
and then began:
death comes to all. Though the de-
ceased was stricken down in the bloom OF
life, She"

the friends at the minister's elbow.
"Although in the prime of life, he knew
that death was liable to come at"
''He wasn't In his prime, but was 70

'AlthOugh he was an old man." re-
sumed the clergyman, after swallowing a
lump in his throat, she will be greatly
missed by his large circle of friends and
relations. Death"
Didn't have friend or relation except
the old woman" put in the man.
"Although, as | said, he may not be
missed in his home," said the now thor
oughly embarrassed minister, ''his church
will sadly realize the vacancy. He joined
the Baptist Church at an early"
"Always trained with the Methodists,"
whispered the friend.

clergyman, with a great effort. SHE died

man sat up on end, looked around for
