Monster Cannon.

Among the most striking objects
on exhibition at New Orleans are the
models of the monster guns, some of
which are now being constructed by
the United States. All the world is
far ahead of us in this particular
kind of war weapon. They are
needed on our coast to protect our
seaboard cities, which are undefended
and could easily be captured by any
power having foreign navy. John
Ericsson, the inventor of the famous
Monitor, has built ship carrying a
submarine gun which experts think
would destroy any vessel trying to
enter one of our harbors; but Con-
gress at its last session refused to pay
the cost price Of this Destroyer, as it
is called though it would seem that
the members of the Senate and
House might have met Capt. Erics-
sons wishes in this respect in view
of the signal service he rendered the
country in supplying an antagonist
to the rebel ram MeITimac off llamr-
ton Roads. Notwithstanding the
r1missness of Congress in this matter,
the Destroyer will be kept for TIL S
country in case of need, for its inven-
tor is patriot as well as man OF
genius, and has refused to sell it to
foreign powers who were anxious to
purchase it, There has been great
activity in cannon-making all ovel
the world recently. A monster can.
non is being made at the foundry Of
Gail at Grenelle. 1t is TO be AZ fee
long, and will send a bomb of l,7W
pounds distance of some nine miles
Its price will be 100000, and il will
be exhibited at the Exhibition o
Antwerp.-From Demorests Monthly

Provided that England and Russia
can agree as 10 what shall be the
boundary between Russia anu Afghan
territory, the question as to whether

on the 30th of March. Russian violat-
ed an agreement made between her
and England on the l7lh of that month
will be submitted to arbitration
That agreement provided substantial
" that neither the Russian nor AT.
CHAN forces should advance from
their positions until the negotiations
in progress, when the decision of war
or peace would determine what their
respective movements should be.
Notwithstanding the agreement, a
bloody battle was fought between
the Afghan and Russians. The
question, as yet undecided, is. which
party was to blame for it! This
question is what Christian TX, King
of Denmark, will, it is believed, be
called upon the decide, shall negolia-
lions proceed peacefully until the
time when his decision shall be in
order
As he is the fathcr-in-law of the
helr-apparcnt TO the throne of Eng

is prJpriely in his selection for the
decision indicated.

Mr.. Edward B. Foote as a repres-
entative of Eclectic Medicine, as a
writer Of popular medical literature,
and as a physician stands prominent,
and is, perhaps, throughout the world,
better known by his writings than
any other medical writer who has
directed his teachings TO the people
rather than the profession. Born and
raised among Connecticut settlers, on
the "Westerm Reserve" in Ohio, he
early began the work Of many self
made men. Starting at the age of
sixteen as "printcr's devil" in news
paper Office, he worked his way to the
editorial chair, and was severally con-
nccted with the most prosperous
weekly of lis time in Connecticut,
and the first successful morning paper
of Brooklyn, n. Y, but his main i'm.
pulse had always been toward the
study OF medicine, and to this end
business enterprises were sacrificed
until in apprenticeship with noted
botanical specialist, aud course Of
study finishing with graduation,
found him prepared to follow out the
bent Of his life to its completion. lie
was among the earliest of those who
advocated the publication of anatom-
ical, physiological and hygienic books
for the masses, and his success IN
writing interesting and popular
books has been conspicuous. Ills fir t
and best known book, entitled "Medi-
cal Common Sense" reached a circu'a-
tion 10000 copies, ,probably because
CT its igina ity and novelty in a
new field and his subsequent writ
ings have been mainly in the same
line, Science in Story" having been
written fer the purpose OF providing
u readable book for children, and one
which should make plain to thcil
comprehension the facts which he
considered it necessary for them to
know concerning their own bodie'
In speaking of the late Prof. j s
Smith, of Oxford, London, Ma tart
remarks: at has been said that in
scientific thought, the best and most
original ideas have always been con.
ceived before the age ofthirty.' This
is probably true, also, of the origina
of this por;ra.t. His most radic'
thoughts were published in his frs
work, written before he was twenty
nine years of age, and though his pei
is never long idle, his first success ha
not yet been equalled by subsequen
: work, though his "Plain llome Talk,
/ revision and enlargement of" "Medi
cal Common Sense seems likely il
time to obtain a circulation rivallins
that Of its predecessor

The Coming Cholera.

There is a general expectation that
Asiatic cholera is Un its march around
the world. 1t has reappeared in
Spain; has made its appearance in
Southern Russia, and in all probabil-
ity before this meets the readers eye
will be heard of in different parts of
Central and Southern Europe. Cases
of it may appear OH our own At
lantic seabnard by midsummer, but
there does not seem very much dan
ger that ii will penetrate far inland
this year. There is no cure for chol-
era. A certain proportion of those
attacked die no matter what the
treatment. People who live on hilly
OF upland dry regions generally es-
cape its ravages, while it is more apt
to prevail along the line of water
courses and where the soil is satur-
ated with moisture. A cholera scare
is not without its good effects. 1t
leads to a general cleaning up in ev-
cry locality liable to be visited by the
pestience. People live more careful
| iy, and the final result is that mtr,
lives are really saved from other dis
eases than are destroyed by the pre-
vaiing pestilence. Those who wish
to preserve their homes from its raw
ages would do well to pay attention
to the disinfectants employed. Some
of these compounds merely serve tt
nputralize bad smells This can gen
arally be much better done by sun
light and pure air than by chemica
means. Clean your houses, remove
the waste of your family to a distance
ventilate your rooms, and then ifyo'
employ and disinfectants' let them b
such as will destroy germ life' Kecl
watch over your out-honses, cess
pools and wells, always bearing il
mind the fact that the cholera poison
is generally disseminated by liqui'
rather than by the current of air.
