a Spotter Left.

Probably every railroad line of any conse-
quence in the country has its "spotters" to
watch and set traps for conductors, and If the
public has any feeling either way 1t Is for the
latter officials. This was shown few days
ago on line running out Of Detroit. A me-
dium-slzed, fairly dressed passenger set up
the plea that he had been robbed, and beg
ged the conductor to pass him free. The
official looked him over carefully, and re-
piled:
"Your fare, or of you CO."
The man whined and begged, but when
he found 1t was one or the other, he pro-
duced S. bill to pay bis fare,
"Counterfeitr y said the conductor, Is be
handed 1t back.
"Why, man, that's as true greenback as
was ever made!n
"Can't take IL, sir! Your fare, pIease.'
"But that's all the money have!"
aThen off you go!"
aBat, sir--bui-rr,
The train was stopped between stations,
and the passenger backed of with many .

tor re entasfd the car half dozen passengers
tackled him with indignant protests, and two

POETRY.
THE SUMMER GIRL.

No more she'll stroll by moonlight this yea
upon your arm;
She's gone TO study Latin in spot wei
fenced from harm.
How cool her muslin somehow seemed-sht
always brought breeze;
And how short she made the evenings IL
those walks beneath the trees!
must say it to her credit that she never lost
her heart, r.E
Nor in any piece of acting ever failed to know
her part.
For she laughed at jokes, no matter how old
and stale and bad,
And she thought the present company the
best she'd ever had.
Then she gave us all her photograph, each
the first she ever gave;
Would the recipient please be silent on the
subject as the grave?"
But her art was quite transparent, and as
harmless as the sun,
And the misanthrope who Stunned her did
but lose heap of fun.
So, old fellow, ere we separate to join the
winter whirl,
Let's drink parting bumper to that jolly
summer girl.

DESTRUCTIVE WEAPON.
The Air Torpedo Which Threatens to Make
Junk of Iron Clad Savies.
NetC York Sun.

The dynamite-throwing gun, with which
experiments have been began at Fort Ham
ilton, is in fact an air torpedo gun, sending
its dynamite. laden shell through the air in
stead Of the water. If the exhaustive ex'
perments which are 10 be made show that
it can do what 1t is expected TO TO, the effete
monarchieS of Europe may melt up their
100-ton guns aud sell their war ships for old
iron. Mr.. II. ID. Winsor, Of the American
Torpedo Company, said yesterday that when
the advantages Of an air torpedo over a
water torpedo suggested themselves the only
difficulty that appeared to stand In the way
of success was to shoot a dynamite shell
from a gun without exploding the dynamite
instantly. French, Russian, Austrian, Ger.
man and other nations had experimental
with gunpowder as the propelling force, but
all had failed. II was found that the shock
the gunpowder gave, of from 10000 to 75,'
900 pounds to the square inch, invariably
exploded the dynamite as soon as the guu
was fired. Light explosions were tried, but
the fuse required with them was so sensitive
that 1t exploded. The new gun or air tor
pedo is fired by compressed air, which actu.
ally forms a cushion for the dynamite TO rest
on, or rather a backing thereof. The gun
consists OF seamless brass tubes, one quarter
Of an inch thick, and is made in three sec
tions. The bore of the gun which has been
tried at Fort Hamilton is two inches. The
entire gun weighs only 2S0 pounds, and
throws five pounds of dynamite, A four
inch gun weighs 500 pounds, and will throw
25 pounds of dynamite. A sixfinch gun
would weigh 4s0 pounds, and throw 3D.
pounds of dynamite. An eight-inch gun
would weigh 72o pounds, and throw liz
pounds OF dynamite. This gun is the
largest size contemplated, and could easily
be carried on small steam launch. The
simplicity Of the machinery by which the
dynamite gun or air torp do, is fired Is no
ticeable. f

A WELL.BRED MAN.

Chicago Ne,cs, February 13
Dave Littler, of Springfield, was 10 attend
ance upon the State Central Committee
meeting yesterday and whenever he spoke
his voice could have been heard ten miles.
Dave Is one of your healthy, strapping,
coarse, meaty politicians, who are always
making bad breaks when they happen to get
into good society. The, last time Dave was
in Washington he of course called upon
President Arthur and was received with dig
nied courtesy by that gentleman. "You've
got mighty nice quarters here" said Dave,
gawping around at the furniture and pictures
and affecting an air Of well-bred ease. VI
don't know that I'd object TO being President
If had money enough to keep up all this
style." The President smiled good-natured-
~ and strove to conceal the embarrassment
the unmannerly familiarity Of his caller
naturally occasioned him. Presently Dawes
eagle eye rested upon an elegant bank Of
flowers which had been cullsd in the White
House conservatory and covered small
table In the presidential parlor. "Gosh"
cried Dave, throwing up his big red hands In
astonishment; sat must have cost heap o.
money to pay for them howenw President
Arthur made no reply. He simply touched
the call-bell. A servant appeared. Shave
these flowers sent TO this gentleman's room
at Willard's Hotel" said the President,
blandly.

A SENSIBLE RESOLUTION.
Couple Through Fear of Quarreling Do
Not Speak. ,..

Canton tO.J Dispatch in 81. Louis Globe.
An event of considerable importance ha:
occurred in a little farm house few miles
from this city within few days. Mrs
Devices spoke to ber husband. This Is what
she said
"William, believe am dying"
However, she did not die, and she is now
nearly well again. But the fact that she
spoke at all to her husband has greatly ex.
cited those who are acquainted with the old
couple. They are past threescore. This is
the first time either has spoken to the other
for nearly quarter of century, though
each has spoken to other persons daily all
! the while.
Nearly 2j years ago Mrs. Devices desired
her husband to do tri1ing thing, which he
regarded as either impossible or unwise, and
he refused. She, becoming petulant with
disappointment, exclaimed:
elf you don't, I'll never speak to you
again as long as live"
81 not only will not do it," he said,
aroused to anger, "but will not speak to
you until you speak first to me-"
The issue thus joined lasted longer than
either imagined it would. Until the recent
night spoken Of, neither Mr.. nor Mrs.
Devices ever uttered word to the other.
The quarrel was soon over and the best of
feeling was resumed between them. They
have lived together ever since, contented
and harmonious, the only cloud upon their
happiness being their silence toward each
other. But even that has had Its advan-
tages. When Mr., Devices wanted to say
anything to his wife he would say, for en-
ample, to one of his children, Jennie, tell
your mother wish she would sew another
button Oh my overalls." Or the mother
would say, "John, tell your father to bring
some sugar, oil, pepper, and spool of
thread, No. 90, from town to-day" At first
it was difficult for them to repress the i'm
pulse to speak to each other, but being per.
sons of strong will, they stuck doggedly to
their resolutions until habit made 1t easy to
do so.
"Yes," said Mr.. Devices TO a neighbor one
day, "we have not spoken for pretty near 25
years. 1t has sometimes been little incon-
venient, and, of course, 1t seems silly to
most people, but it has been blessing to US
in some ways. That one quarrel was our
last. know from my disposition and hers
that if we had kept on talking we should
also have kept on quarrellng more or less.
Possibly, we'd have got worse, because we
are both pretty high strung, and it might
have gone so far that we'd have been
divorced"
On the night when the silence was broken
Mrs. Devices had been Ill for some days, and
about 1 O'Clock in the morning she awoke
in great pain, and thought her end had
come. In her agony she called out to her
husband:
William, believe am dying"
The old couple have been talking to each
other ever since.

canuon-Makins in the United states.

Save an experimental gun, at long inter-
walls, America has made no cannon since the
war. The immense private plant at South
Boston, where two cannon week were cast
during the most active periods Of the rebel
lion, has lain idle. The same may be said
of the only other plant in the country, At
West Point, N. Y., where cannon can be
made. England has It's government foundry
at Woolwich; Germany has Krupp's i'm
mense works at Essen, guaranteeing him so
much work each year, and further support
