Disnantling the Guns.
Springfield Republican: Abou

Springfield Republican: About 100
old-style muzzle-loading So caliber
Springfield rifles are now dismantled at
the armory daily, and such parts as fit
the new breech-loading model are re-
used. The guns thus taken to pieces
are part of the 100000 old-style rifles
made at the armory during the war and
stored there unused after 1866. The
dismantling began in 1868, when it was
found that the whole gun could be sold
in the market for only $1.50, while the
parts which could be used In the new
model, together with the sale of the re-
mainder as scrap iron or to shotgun
makers, would net the Government
about 81. The parts sold are mainly
the stock and barrel and scrap material,
and most of these parts go to manufac-
turers of cheap shotguns. The Whit
ney Company, of New Haven, and the
Remington Company, of IIIiOn, N. Y,
are large buyers. The 50-caliber rifles,
which were first made in 1866, of which
only $4,000 were manufactured, were
never stored, but went at once into
active service, and have been mainly
worn out in it. There are now stored
at the armory about $4,000 of the S.
caliber model, and 1853, 900 dismantled
barrels and 128, 900 stocks About 5O,-
900 Cleaned and repaired" 5S-model
rifles are also stored, but will not be
dismantled, as they are mainly contract
guns and have seen such rough service
i'll the field as TO make it inadvisable to
use their parts in new rifles.

Lord and Lady Exmouth.
Long Branch Letter

LOuS oIdACA AOSVCA.
One of the most p1ainaycdressed wom-
en- in the room was Lady Exmouth.
She wore black lace dress over cana
ry-colored silk. cut very decollete, and
exposing a beautiful neck and sloping
shoulders. Loops of canary-colored
ribbon, diamond ornaments, including
a necklace, and huge bouquet of yell
low roses finished her costume. Lady
Exmouth is twenty three years old, but
has not the freshness and bloom of En-
glish childhood, nor the buxom expan-
siveness of British naatron. She is
rather thin and pale, and if it was not
for her way of wearing her hair, cropped
at the top and in Langtry knot at the
back, would look more American than
English. Lord Exmouth is dapper
little man, about the size of Sunset Cox,
with bright eye. During the evening
the noble pair never moved from their
chairs; he sat on one foot, swinging the
other, with an eyeglass in his ocular,
watching the dancers, and she alter
nately partook of powerful smelling
bottle and the fragrance of her roses.
These emblems of the English aristoc-
racy left last night for Saratoga, with
openly expressed disgust for Americans,
though they have only met two during
their stay in the hotel.

Crossing the Atlantic.

Mr.. Pearce, the builder of the Alaska,
the Oregon and other fast steamers,
has proclaimed his belief that the voy-
age across the Atlantic will ere long be
accomplished in six days. But this is
as nothing compared with the hope
which Leeds gentleman announces to
an astonished world. He promises
when he has built his ship-to carry
people from Liverpool to New York in
three days. This wonderful achieve
ment is to be brought about by his new
aqua-aerial or wave ship. The aqua
aerial ship is intended for express, mail
and passenger service, also for un-
armored war-ships for which great
speed IS desirable. The wave ship is of
shallow draught when at rest. and when
set in motion its draught is to decrease
with the increase of speed. Instead of
plowing its way through the water it is
to skim along or over the surface, there
by avoiding the chief cause of resist
ance to the progress of ordinary ships,
viz: Wave making. The resistance Of
fered by the water to its onward course
is thus to be reduced to aminimum, and
the power uselessly expended in wave
making and displacement of water by
vessels of the ordinary type is to be
wholly utilized in the increase of speed.
This is to be accomplished by making
the bottom of the vessel series of in
clined planes placed one after the other.
Why not arrange to have the vessel
lift herself out of the water with the ex
ception of the heel of her rudder post
and let her skim along on that? The
voyage might then, perhaps, be ac-
complished In few hours.

Eloquent

There are those who are blind to the
eloquence of a gesture or to the pathos
Of look. They see the armless sleeve,
but unless the poor soldier appeals to
them with words, they do not feel the
charity that beareth another's burden.
Such resemble the gentleman who re-
quired, before he would be pitiful, that
the expressive pantomine of the Irish
beggar should be enforced by pathetic
speech:
A gentleman passed man who was
painful spectacle of pallor, squalor
and wretchedness. The man said moth
ing, and the gentleman, turning back,
accosted him thus: ''H you are in want,
why don't you beg?"
HSnre, it's begging I am, yer Honor. !"
You didn't say word"
''Of coorse not, yer Honor, but see
how the skin is spakin' through the holes
of me trousers, and the bones cryin' out
through me skini Look at me sunken
cheeks, and the famine that's starin' in
me eyes. Man alive! isn't it begging 7
am with hundred tongues?"

of herself Only for that should have been

'sBut you nobly redeemed yourself in saving

''My Godl can I ever shut out the horror of
it all?'' he cried bitterly. Rising, I said:
''Yes, I think you can, =" then he bent his hag-
gard eyes questioningly, upon me, added;
"Wait here few moments"

A little dark-eyed fellow stood shyly eying
the man had left but few moments before,
then laying his hand upon the mans arm he
asked:
"Are you my big, brave Uncle Joe9 Cause
if you are mamma sent me to fetch you"
''Child! what is your name?" exclaimed the
man eagerly.
sJoe Mason" answered the little one, add
ing: s'but mamma calls me Little Joe:'" then
glancing up he continued naively: ''Uncle Joe,
mamma said you'd be glad to see me; are you?"
s'Glad!" and as Joe Fuller uttered that one
word, like unto sob, he clasped the little fell
low in his arms, while I, closing the door,
erept softly away, convinced the child had won
the day.

There is much complaint of corrup-
ton in American politics, and not with
out reason, and also of the fact that our
senate is filing up with millionaires,
and that too many men of money rath-
er than of brains are getting into the
house of representatives. Now while
no one takes the ground that rich men
should be excluded from public life, the
welfare of the body polite demands
that rich men should not be promoted
exclusively on their money, and that
money shall not be used to corrupt
electors. But after all that is admitted
in regard to the use of money in Amer
lea, the case is vastly worse in England
where it costs small fortune to getin-
to parliament. The usual reckoning is
about e1 or SIS vote. According to
parliamentary returns in the last cleo
ton in the North Riding of Yorkshire,
Mr.. Dawnay spent s9, AT in obtaining
8,135 votes, and his opponent. Mr..
Richardson, G5, 500 in obtaining Z, ,449,
so that between them over e15, 200 was
expended in getting 15, 800 votes. In
North Durham Sir G.. Eliot and J.
Laing spent nearly Ella 900 and polled
together not quite 10, 500 votes. so that
each vote in this instance cost consid-
erably over Ell. LIN Westminster Lord
Algernon Percy, who was not opposed,
had to spend 92, 900.

shortly before stumps were drawn for

his long absence. Carbury, as it hap
pened, did not see him again till late in

ing over small sheet of paper, on which
certain hieroglyphics were scrawlad in

THIS LIFE Is WHAT WE MAKE TT.

Let's oftener talk of noble deeds,
And rarer of the bad ones,
And sing about our happy days,
And mono about the sad ones
We were not made to fire.. and sigh,
And when grief sleeps wake it;
Bright happiness is standing by
This life is what we make it.
Let's find the sunny side of men
Or be believers in it;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win it.
Oh! there's slumbering good in al,
And we perchance may wake it;
Our hands contain the magic wand
This life is what we make it
Then here's to those whose loving hearts
Shed light and joy about theml
Thanks be to them for countless gems
We ne'er had know without them.
Oh! this should be a happy world
To all who may partake it;
The faults our own if it is not
This life is what we make it.

The Names of Nations.

These are derived principally from
some peculiar cause or object. For in
stance. Ireland-which Julius Caesar
first called Hibernia- kind of mod
ification of Erin, or the country of the
West.
Scotland, from Scotia, tribe which
originally came from Ireland. It was
anciently called Calenonia, which means
mountainous country-forest and
lands.
Portugal, the ancient Lusitania, was
so named from town on the River
Douro called Gale, opposite to which
the inhabitants built city called Porto
or Oporto. And when the country was
recovered from the Moors the inhabi-
tants combined the words and called it
the Kingdom of Portucale-hence Por-
tugal!
Spain, the ancient Iberia, from the
River Iberius or Hispania, from the
Phenician Spaniga, which signifies
abounding with rabbits, which animals
are very numerous in that country
hence Spain.
IduCG. lIOuu tu0 l. PCopiO Va
| Germany, who conquered that country.
Its ancient name was Celia, Gaul or
Gallia- -Barcchata, the latter signifying
striped breeches, which were worn by
the natives.
Switzerland, the ancient Helvetia; was
so named by the Austrians, who called
the inhabitants of these mountainous
countries Sweitzers.
| Italy received it's present name from a
renowned Prince called Italus. 1t was
called Hesperia, from its western 10
cality.
Holland, the ancient Batavi, war
like people, who was SO named from
the German word hohl, the Eng
lish of which is hollow, implying very
low country The inhabitant are called
Dutch, from the German deutsch or
teutsch.
| Sweden and Norway were anciently
called Scandinavia, which the modern
antiquarians think means a country the
woods of which have been burned or
destroyed. The appellation Sweden is
derived from Sictuna or Suitheod. The
native term Norway or the northern way
explains itself.
| Prussia, from Peuzzi, Sclavonic
race: but some writer's suppose it took
its name from Russio, and the Sclavonic
syllable po, which means adjacent or
near.
Denmark means the marches, terri
| tories or boundaries of the Danes.
Russia is the ancient Sarmatia, which
has been subsequently named Muscovy.
It derived its present name from Russi
Sclavonic tribe who founded the Rus
sian monarchy. The original savage
inhabitants used to paint their bodies in
order to appear more terrible in battle.
They generally lived in the mountains,
and their chariots were their only habi-
tations.
Turkey took its name from the Turks
or Turcomans, which signifies wander
ers, and originally belonged to the
Scythians or Tartars. It is sometimes
called the Ottoman Empire, from Otho-
man. one of their principal leaders.

Card From the Oficers of the RushviiIe
Presbyterian Church.

Card From the Officers of the RushvilIe
Presbyterian Church.
RUsHvILLE, Feb. We, the stated supply
and officers of the Presbyterian Church in
Rushvllle, assembled to take action con-
corning publication in the Indianapolis
Sentinel Of Saturday, January 81, 1855, in
which it is stated that Rev. James d.
Thomas was dismissed from the charge of
this church, under the head of Democratic
Divine Dismissed" and that the reason or
ground of that so called dismissal was polit-
ical, request that you, the editor of the
Sentinel, gi7e place to the following in your
paper:
1. We jointly assert that said action was
taken in compliance with a request from
Rev. J. ID. Thomas and was not dismassa'
but simply an expression of the opinion o.
the officers of the church upon questions
touching the interests of Rev. ]. D. Thomas
and the Church.
g. We further assert that this action
was of private character aud in
tended only to be conveyed to Rev. j. d
Thomas as q matter of opinion and advice
on subjects on which he had sought said ad-
vice, and that ii WAS not based upon politi-
cal grounds.
We deem the publication of this card
simple justice to both parties. Neither Rev
j. ID. Thomas nor the officers of this church
desire 10 have the private matters affecting
his interests or those OF the church discussed
In the public press, and particularly do We
deem 1t harmful to him as a minister of the
Gospel 10 be published as in any sense allied
10 politics, thereby causing his dsmssa
from church relations, and harmful to the
church TO publish it as so allied TO any polit-
zeal interest or opini ion as to cause the church
10 dismiss minister upon such grounds.
