LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
From Poverty to Afiuence.

Some time since it was rumored in the
Teutonic circles of an uptown hotel that
one OF the impecunious boarders had fallen
heir to an immense estate in the Fader-
land" Expectation was on tip-toe when.
on Monday, it was whispered around that
the estate had been administered upon and
the long-looked-forr remittance had arrived.
Inc young man was no longer looked upon
as common, ordinary individual" but
suddenly became the center of a circle of
admiring friends. He was frequentlyasked
TO " take a glass of beer" and quite as
often requested TO " take a cigar" Mon
DAY evening, and Tuesday also, he was in
, Vlted to go to the Clunie Opera House, and
being OF that class who seldom refuse
all those little tokens of esteem and regard
were accepted with an evident sense of ap-
probation. Monday afternoon the legatee,
IN as quiet and as transformations manner
as possible, asked the proprietor of the
hotel to accompany him to the bank and
identify him, so that he could draw his
money. This was done and the money
drawn. The parties returned to the hotel
and proceeded about their business as
though there was but little importance 10
be attached to such an ordinary business
transaction. The young man made no
blow about his suddenly-acquired
wealth; in fact, said nothing at all
regarding it, and those who were deeply
interested took the landlord to one side
10 ascertain the amount From the latter
they learned that it was all true. The
amount received was s., 023 30 in goldcoin.
The news soon spread throughout the circle
of the young mans acquaintance, and
people, especially ladies' who did not know
him before, now courtesied to him on the
streets. Especially was this the case with
the young mans creditors; bills that had
long since been carried to the profit ana
loss account were dug up, and placed in
convenient place to be handed the young
gentleman when he called to settle. The
young man, however, bought him a new
hat and linen collar and evidently meant
to ignore all old scores. This was too much
for an aged Teuton, who held a bill against
him for $40 50, and he called yesterday upon
the young man and demanded a settlement
The latter replied that he had no money.
What" exclaimed the indignant creditor
Pete said you drew 81, O23 80. What have
you done with it, " Well" answered the
young man, Pete was right about the
S23 80, but he lied about the four thousand
He kept S17 90 for a board bill, and with
the So | had left | bought a new hat, a
linen collar and a pair of socks"

NITRo-GELATINE GUNS. 1t is possible
that warfare is about to undergo another
revolution. The Age of Steel gives an
account of experiments recently made,
under direction of the Senate military
committee, in firing shells charged with
nitro -gelatine Four shots were fired
with six-inch shells carrying ll-pound
bursting charges of nitro gelatine, which
contains 95 per cent of pure nitro-glycer
inc. The range was 1000 yards and the
target was perpendicular ledge of solid
trap rock on the south bank of the Poto-
mac. The first shot shattered the rock
for a radius of thirty feet and hurled tons
Of rock into the air; the second shell tore
out the rock for twenty-five feet in diam
eter, and six feet deep in the face Of the
ledge. That would amount to over 200
tons of rock, removed by single shot,
from the face of the cliff The experts
expressed the belief that either shot
would have wrecked any ship aaoat, and
would have annihilated any wooden
ship. The safety Of the system also
seems to have been fully established.
OF course, if the foregoing is true, there
no more use in plating ships; there is no
more use for heavy guns, because a
small cannon will be able to fire shot
terrible enough to destroy almost any
obstruction which men can invent, On
battlefield few shots would be enough
to utterly terrify any enemy, and the
work seems to be in the line of that
theory which holds that the only way te
make war impossible is to prepare in
strnp,ante of ,la,tb too tarribln for hn n, a r
resistance to stand before. If there il
no mistake about this, our new navy
should be composed of immensely swift
steamers, each armed with two or thre'
nitro gelatine guns.
