and lives would be saved. The thought
! took such hold of me that I commenced
work on it at once. The result was the
Calling gun.
Nay first guns were made in Cincin-
natl, and they would fire from 149 to $50
SHOTS per minute. / had six of them
manufactured IN 1862, when the foundry
was burned by incendiaries-I suppose
reheI ympathizers-and the guns were
destroyed. Next I had thirteen guns
MADE at what is now the type foundry
IN cincinnati, and these I sent on by my
partner, a wealthy merchant of Cincin-
natl, TO Washington, to persuade the Gov
eminent to introduce them. He took
them to Baltimore, where he left twelve,
and went with the other to Washington.
The Chief of the Ordnance Department
at the time was an old fogy. He received
him coldly, told him he had no faith in
his gun, and that he believed fint-lOck
muskets were, on the whole, the best
weapons for warfare. In short, he would
have nothing to do with him. Ny part
ner then left Washington, and returned
to Baltimore. Ben Butler was there with
his troops. He had heard of the guns,
and he asked to see them work. As soon
as he had done so, he said he would buy
them on his own responsibility, and did
so giving his voucher for 5000 for them.
My partner had this cashed, but at this
time there was a great fall in pork, and
$4,000 hogs which he had packed in
Chicago with the expectation of rise,
had to be sold. In word, the break in
the market ruined him, and my money
went with him. So, for the first twenty
guns, l had made at great cost to my
self, [ received nothing. Ben. Butler
took the guns he had bought with him
to the battle of Petersburg, and fired
them himself upon the rebels. They
created great CONSERVATION and slaught-
er, and the news of them went all over
the world. Now they are usedb all the
| leading Governments of Europe, and al
so in Asia and Africa. They enabled the
Prussians to conquer Austria in 1866,
though the Austrians had the larger fore
es, and they shortened the war by Ger
many and France, so that it practically
lasted but few days.
"The Calling guns are now made in
| Hartford, in this country, and in Europe
at Newcastle on-the-Tyne. I sell only
to Governments, and the United States
uses many of my guns. They now take
part in all wars, and you have seen the
| reports of the work they have done in
Egypt Z
ball?"
"From two to three miles. The new
| improvements which will enable it to be
fired into the air are such, that the ball,
| when it falls to the earth, acquires from
the force of gravity such a velocity, that
when it reaches the ground it will pass
through plank two inches thick. This
is at a distance of 5000 yards from the
place of firing"
| CIVIL If shoot accurata1
eyes. We can aim the gun at plank
nailed to a support several thousand
yards away, and by moving the gun rap
idly along while firing, we car cut line
through the board as though it were saw
ed. Bullets of different sizes are used in
different guns. No two bullets leave the
gun at the same time, but when you con-
slider that / 200 shots can be fired in a
minute, you will see how rapidly and
regularly it works"

mean? You are going to choose a Scott
delegation IN New York" That, Mr..
Weed explained was to keep New
York away from Mr.. Clay. Then he
went on : ''You do not see me here to ar
que about. What I come for and what
want is for you to be willing to accept
the support of New York for the Vice
Presidency in case my prediction about
Gen. Harrison is verified" Mr.. Webster
would not listen to this, and Captain"
Tyler was ultimately nominated. The
memoir says that 1.-TWO years later, when
Gen. Harrison was dead and Mr.. Tyler
President, Mr.. Webster, as Secretary of
State under the late Vice President, had
abundant leisure to reflect upon the con-
versation in the cloak-room at the CAPT
toll"
In 1848 Mr.. Webster was visited by
Mr.. Weed at Marshield and urged to &C
cept the support of New York on ticket
headed by General Taylor.
"Well," says Mr.. Webster, when Mr..
Weed appeared at Marshfeld, chow do
things look now? 1 suppose the ques-
ton still is, Who will poll the most
votes?'" "Yes," said Mr.. Weed, "and
that man is Gen. Taylor, who will be
the next President" "Why," said Mr..
Webster, Taylor is an illiterate frontier
colonel, who hasn't voted for forty
years." Mr.. Weed unfolded the object
of his visit, insisting that Gen. Taylor
must be nominated by the Wings, or he
would be taken up and elected by the
Democrats. Mr.. Webster sent for George
Ashmun, of Massachusetts, and Senator
Wilson, of New Hampshire, with whom
political prospects were thoroughly can
vassed. They listened to Mr.. Weeds
arguments and were disposed to yield to
his suggestions. Finally his point was
gained, and, pleased with his success, he
was about to take his departure, when
! Fletcher Webster reached the Marsh
| field House. "The cause is making ire
mendous progress" he said. When in
formed of Mr.. Weeds mission, he
ridiculed it unsparingly. Enough"
said his father, 81 shall remain in the
field as candidate for President. I
am not candidate for any other place"
| The National Convention met in June.
| Gen. Taylor was nominated. The Vice
Presidency went begging, until finally a
venturesOme delegate nominated MIR.
Fillmore, and he became the candidate.
| Gen. Taylor was elected. He died the
| 9th Of July, 1850. Mr.. Fillmore became
| President, and Mr.. Webster accepted the
position of Secretary of State in Fill
more's cabinet.
Had Mr.. Webster allowed the use of
| his name for the Vice-Presidency in
either of the above cases, he would have
reachd the goal of his ambition-the
Presidency. After occupying the Office
a part of term, it would have probably
been very easy for him to make himself
| his own successor. Mr.. Weeds idea of
the Importance of the ice-Presidency,
as twice exhibited in endeavoring to OBJ"
tain Mr.. Webster's consent to become a
candidate for the second place, has found
abundant illustration in the history OF
the country.

RAILWAY RATES.
The Matter Adjusted.

The prolonged conflict between the
Board of Railroad Commissioners and
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
road Company about freight rates has
been terminated by a settlement of a
satisfactory character. The company
will reduce the rates on the distance tar
if an average of thirty per cent, the re-
duction being the largest for long dis
tances. This tariff prescribes rates on
freight carried between stations within
the State and do not apply to shipments
made to and from points upon the Mis-
souri, river. The Commissioners and the
company have also agreed upon reduc-
tions at Great Bend and Newton. The
reductions embrace rates on all classes
of merchandise, and the reduced rates
will apply on all the company's lines in
Kansas, including the branches.
Under the new rariff rates on grain,
-four and live stock will be lower than
the rates on the same articles in Iowa or
Wisconsin. The reductions on coal and
lumber are also quite liberal. The rates
last named are those for shipments to
and from Missouri River points. It is
also agreed that the new local tariff will
be scaled upon the new rates at Newton
and Great Bend.
The reductions will not apply to rates
on the east end of the company's lines.
The Board of Railroad Commissioners
have heretofore decided that these rates
were already reasonable, that in fact
they were as low as rates for similar dis
tances on roads in the State Of Illinois.
The reductions will apply on the middle
and west portions of the company's lines.
The Company accepts the Commission
ers, Interpretation of the law in respect
to the validity of special tariffs to meet
commercial necessities, the Board having
heretofore and uniformly held that the
law was sufficiently flexible to permit
such tariffs.
All of the details of the new tariffs
have not been fully arranged and agreed
to. It is expected that the revised tariffs
will go into effect in few days.

WANTED A WIFE.
Persistant WOOing of a Delaware Man In
Georgia.

0ASASOahH u A0AH1"eIAO IAeSAA LII
Georgia.
Atlanta has developed a matrimonial
crank named William Fleming. Flem-
ing is handsome, dashing man of about
% years, and about feet inches, and
weighs about 40 pounds. His square
shoulders, blue eyes, dropping moustache,
and fair complexion combine to make
him a successful masher. One week ago,
Fleming, whose home is in Wilmington,
| Del, went to clearinghouse on For
sythe street. After making terms with
| the proprietress, Fleming asked her how
many daughters she had. The lady SEEM
ed little astonished at the question, but
replied that she was the mother of two
daughters. Fleming then added to the
| lady's establishment by asking for des-
cription of the ladies. After supper Elem
ing sought the parlor. There he met the
young ladies, to whom he was introduced.
Fleming proved an agreeable companion,
and after conversing with the younger Of
! the two he suddenly remarked: "Well,
you suit me exactly. I like you, and
think you will do"
why, what do you meanw indignant
ly asked the lady.
81 mean / want to marry you. Won't
you be my wife? You suit me exactly"
''No, won't" said the young lady an
grily, as she hurriedly left the room.
AS soon as the young lady left the
room he turned his attention to her sis
| ter. The conversation had not progress
ed far when he made second proposal
of marriage. This was treated ike the
first. Next morning, while standing on
the front porch, young lady passed by.
| Fleming asked someone her name, and
when he secured it he followed her, and,
after introducing himself, asked per-
mission to visit her. The young lady re-
ferred Fleming to her mother. Nothing
daunted, he sought the lady's mother,
and asked permission to visit her daugh-
| ter. His good address secured his Pc
tition, and that night Fleming called up
on the mother and daughter. Before 10
o'clock he begged the lady to marry him.
His courtship was after the style of his
first night on Forsythe street. The lady
declined the offer, but Fleming was per
sistent, and continued to beg until the
clock struck l, when in order to get rid
| of him she agreed to marry him. The
promise satisfied Fleming, and he left.
Early the next morning the matter was
| brought to the attention of the police de-
partment. The three young ladies ap-
peared as witnesses. Fleming was warn
| ed by the recorder that in future he must
only pour his tales of love into willing
ears.

PLUCKY IDA KURTZ.
She Acts as Deputy Sheriff and Puts Pris-
Oner in Jail.
Philadelphia Record.

Oner in Jail.
Philadelphia Record.
Miss Ida Kurtz, plucky little woman,
is the daughter of the sheriff of Franklin
county, Pa. One day last week she
rang the bell at the Eastern Peniten-
tiary gate, smiled and inquired for Ward
en- Cassidy. Accompanying her was a
tall man whose appearance denoted that
if the spirit moved him he could pick
up Miss Kurtz and toss her into the
middle of the street. The man wore a
pair of steel bracelets and was as docile
as Mary's little lamb. His name was
Thomas J. Cunningham, and he had
been sentenced to term of three years
for aggravated assault and battery. The
Warden was somewhat surprised when
Miss Kurtz announced to him that she
was deputy sheriff In his long ex-
perience Mr.. Cassidy had never met a
female deputy sheriff, and this one al
most took his breath. She was full of
business. Deputy Kurtz presented
her prisoner with the requisite papers.
He was accepted as a resident of the in
stitution and receipt was given in due
form. Then the warden and the deputy
sheriff sat down and had quiet chat.
The keeper of the prison found her a
very pleasant lady, who assisted her
father in the care Of the jail at Cham
bersburg. Cunningham shook hands
with her and babe her goodbye when
one of the under-keepers took him away.
Deputy Sheriff Kurtz said that Cunning
ham behaved himself on the trip from
Chambersburg and made no efforts to
escape. Warden Cassidy said that it
was no unusual thing for country sher-
ifs to be accompanied by their wives

the actress cut him short, and has since
declined to recognize him when they ae-
cidentally meet.
Mr.. Dumley was making an evening
call, and Bobby, who was allowed to sit
up little later than usual, put to him
the following question: "Mr. Dumley,
do you want to make S. in ten minutes?''
DO want to make So in ten minutes ?''
laughed the young man. Certainly l
do. But how can make So in ten min
utes, Bobby ?" Mamma will give it to
you. She told papa she would give So
to see you hold your tongue ten minutes"
That was a sharp girl who when asked
by the teacher why the noun bachelor
was singular answered: Because it is
singular they don't get married"

A good story is told of Judge Kent, the
well known American jurist. A man
was indicted for burglary, and the evil
dence on the trial showed that his burg
larry consisted in cutting a hole through
tent in which several persons were
sleeping, and then inserting his head
and arms through the hole and abstract
ing various articles of value. It was
claimed by his counsel that, inasmuch as
he never actually entered into the tent
with his whole body, he had not COM
mitted the ofense charged, and must
therefore be discharged. Judge Kent, in
reply to this plea, told the jury, that if
they were not satisfied that the whole
man was involved in the crime, they
might bring. in a verdict of guilty against
so much of him as was thus involved.
The jury, after brief consultation, found
the right arm, the right shoulder and
the head of the prisoner guilty of the
ofense of burglary. The judge sentenced
the right arm, the right shoulder and
the head to imprisonment with hard
labor in the State prison for two years,
remarking that las to therest ofthe mans
body, he might do with it what he
pleased.
A society young lady told her litter

that he'd be sure to come, as he was very

DR.. Gatling Talks About His Guns


''In 1861 was living in indianapolis.
The war had broken out, and the coun-
try was all excitement. My house was
within few blocks of the depot, and ]
was often present here when volunteers
were departing for the field, and also
when their dead bodies were at times
shipped back home in boxes for burial
One surprise to me was that the number
of men killed by sickness and disease
was more than those killed by ball or
actual battle. One day remember, nine
teen corpses were landed at the depot;
three had been killed in battle. The
thought then struck me, if a gun could
be invented that would do the work of a
hundred men, and would require but q
few men to operate it, that the horrors
of war would be greatly diminished, and
an end would come much sooner of every
struggle. More men could stay at home
