An Electric Gun.

Colonel Fosbcry created q sensation
at lecture he recently gave to an as
scmbly of officers, small-arm inventors
and other experts at the Royal United
Service Institute by suddenly drawing
from its place of hiding, under the table,
q wonderful new gun, which he had
just brought from Liege. He called it
u '.baby electric gum" II looked like a
pretty carbine, but IL had no mechanism
and could not possibly go off until con-
nected up TO the source of electric force.
This done, il could be fired with amazing
rapidity, 1O4 rounds having few days
before been fired from II by its inventor,
M. Pleper, of Liege, in two minutes.
Colonel Fosbery fired two rounds with
iniinitesimal powder charges. He had
prepared himself by secreting under his
vest small circuit of wire and putting
on banderole, supporting what looked
like two ounce vial, but was in fact an
electric accumulation, with sufficient
stored up energy to discharge 1000
rounds. Tho cartridges were innocent
looking mites and contained no detonat-
ing substances, nothing in fact but
simple powder and wad. The opinion
was expressed by various speakers that
the electric gun must once more revolu-
tionize the manufacture of small arms
within q brief period. Electrical Jour

Strange Death by Lightning.

Mr.. Robert Claiborne is brother To
Mrs. T. Z. Leathcrs, wife of the Captain
of the Natchcz. He is Postmaster at
Point Coupec, besides having the agen-
cy of the Pool Line and other boats at
that point. Last Tuesday evening,
while the steamboat Blanks was lying
at the landing. Mr.. Claiborne started
down the lcvee toward where she was
tied, followed short distance behind
by two negro men, mounted on mules,
carrying the mail bags. When nearly
to the boat he was seen to fall TO the
ground suddenly beneath white blaze
of light that lowered around him for
an instant, and the two negro men at
the same time were hurled off their
mules to the ground. Those on the boat
who witnessed the phenomenon rushed
ashore, and almost at the same moment
the two negroes recovered their feet and
came up TO where Mr.. Claiborne had
fallen. They found him corpse, black
as ink all over. An examination of tho
body disclosed the fact that the electric
fluid had penetrated the body in two
currents, penetrating his right and left
breasts respectively, and making two
apcrturcs where they entered, like bull
lets would have made. The lightning
travcrsed his body, passing down his
legs and tearing of his shoes, hurting
them TO considerable distance from
his body. A lot of silver coins in one
of the pockets Of his pantaloons was
melted and fused together in an indis-
tinguishablc mass. The two negroes
felt the force of the shock sufficiently
to be thrown from the mules they were
riding without being seriously injured
thereby. The sun was shining in an
unclouded sky at the time the thunder
bolt came down. A phenomenon SINH
lar in its fatality and strangencss oc.
Cured some weeks ago by which two
men were killed under a tree near Bay
st. Louis, being struck dead by light
ming while the sun was shining. Silver
and gold coins in their pockets werc
