lTiuuut-l
The United Service Gazstts reports that
the French haze discovered a new backing
for armor-plates, which promises to add
greatly to the invulnerability Of warships
This substance is cellulose made from
the fibers OF cocoa nut tissue The Gazette
says:
Experiments have teen carried out &C
Toulon with the following results: A tar
get was erected composed OF fourteen parts
Of cellulose and one part OF celiulose in
fiber. the whole compressed into q fslt-liks
mass, with lining two feet thick upon the
inside Of an on-plated ship. A shot seven
and half inches in diameter was fired
against this strange target, at a distance
that would insure penetration- The result
was not only satisfactory, but most extra
ordinary; the shot which carried away
about one fifth Of a cubic foot Of the com.
D sition, had no sooner passed. through than
the cellulose closed up 50 firmly that q
strong man was unable to insert his arm
into the hole.
a tank filed with water was then hung
against the place where the shot had en-
tered, aud after an interval Of fifteen min
utes water began to trickle through. but not
more than a man with q pail could easily
intercept. As soon as the composition be-
came thoroughly soaked it offered increased
resistance TO the entry Of the water, Which
eventually ceased to flow, aad Tire breach in
the target was closet automatically. The
re suit was thu same when shells were used
in the place OF solid shot, and, what is still
more extraordinary, the composition is
proof against fire. Rei-hot coal, were
heapod upon the celluIose without causing
its ignition"
American naval officers have been expert
menting with shell; loaded with wet gun
cotton, to be exploded at will. which promise
TO put this cellulose TO a new and severe ts-t,
ami restore the equilibrium between attack
and defense.

Just as got to the baggage-car the baggage
master gave one of my trunks toss that
nearly broke it apart l was very indig-
nant, and threatened to report him. He
turned around in a deliberate way, and
looked at me from head to foot Then he
said to me:
Say You - hamfatter, why don't you
mini your business
Il was going to strike him. went on the
actor. "and just as l drew OF to strike, he
took hold OF my arm and said:
Say, old man. don't forget this is Satur-
day night, and that you're q stranger in q
strange town.
HE was right hadn't thought OF that
I'd have been locked up and would have had
to lie in jail all day Sunday. l have never
forgotten that baggage master. and every
time go to Oil City he gets two Of the best
seats In the house free. tell you an actors

A GREAT COAL DEPOSIT.

A scheme which is row being talk
ed of and which promises great COM
mercial prosperity for New Orleans
and other gulf cities, that of connect
ing the Warrior coal fields of Alabama
with these cities by tramway and the
Black Warrior and Tombigbee rivers,
is not a new scheme. Thomas +.
Greene, of Tuscaloosa, Methodist
preacher, advocated this scheme.
Now after all these years people are
beginning to see what Mr.. Greene
then saw. 1t is now claimed that this
scheme will take away from England
the immense coal trade that she now
carries on with the West Indies and
South America. IfThomas +. Greene
had possessed As much money al
brains he would have accomplished
this twenty-five years ago.

divided up into smaller numbers, then
there would be just as much bcek, and
better. If it pays a farmer better to
raise beef than wheat he will do 1t.
The great fire at Chicago
hurt individuals, but it made
the city what it is to-day.
So far as the validity of the cattle
men who have held leases in good faith
is concerned, 1 am not prepared to
say, but do say that great frauds
have been committed for years in that
Territory, and is, in fact, the home of
frauds. I would recommend q reason
able time to remove the cattle, and
not beyond that. This move is not
unexpected, only it came sooner than
they anticipated, all were in hopes
they would be willing to retire from
the business before it did come, just as
man puts of religion.
The commerce of this country de-
mands that this country be opened up.
The worlds treasury and the worlds
highway demand it. Eight million
dollars is great power, but $780,
DOC, 600 backed by the public is still
greater. LEON.

At the meeting of the Union League

At the meeting of the Union League
Club, to take action on the death of
General Grant, many "reminiscences
took shape. Among the statements
tina: attracted unusual att ention was
one made by General Schofield. to the
effect that it was q mistake TO say that
Grant had no military reputation pre-
vious to the war, and that he was not
regarded among military men as s
man likely TO make his mark. Gen
eral Schofeld insisted that the oppo-
site was true. Among West Point
officers Grants soldierly ability was
well known, and at the beginning of
the war four of his West Point tutors
had put themselves on record in
prophesying that Grant was the COM
ing man Of the war, or at least that he
was likely to take high rank as
soldier.

THE NEW ROAD.

Mr. F. II. kollock returned Tuesday
evening from a several days visit to
Wichita, where he had been attending
a meeting in the interest OF the Wich-
tia, Abilene and Omaha railroad, the
new road, which will run through
Marion county, from south to north
and strike both Peabody and Marion.
Mr.. Kollock informs us that the ut
most enthusiasm prevailed at the
meeting and that the business was
transacted with promptness
snd earnestness that indicated
the success of the enterprise
The company was organized, the
chart er filed by the secretary of state
and board of directors elected, and a
sufli cient sum of money voted to COM
plete the preliminary survey, which
will be commenced just as soon as a
suitable person can be secured TO take
charge of the work. From what we
learn from Mr. kollOck, we believe the
road is assured and if the people along
the line will give their hearty and I'M
divided support, it will be built at an
early day. Those who have charge of
the matter are earnest, intelligent
business men with a large
experience. and they are fully
alive to the importance Of the pro-
posed line, and they are determined
the road shall be built if it lies
within the range of possibility, but
they expect and must have the CO.
operation Of all the people along the
line whom such an enterprise will
benefit. That Peabody will reap a
rich reward from this road. no one
who is acquainted with the circum.
stances will deny. The proposed line
will have a tendency to cheaper
freights, as it will probably tap a
line that Is now, and always
will be run in direct competition
to the corporation that has for so
many years controlled the traffic of
this country. Peabody without any
aid, other than the advantages of its
location, and the intelligence. energy
and enterprise Of its citizens. is max
ing rapid strides forward, and is fast
outstripping all other towns Of the
same class in this part of the state.
Give il this new road and its future
growth will be little short of the mar
velous. 1t will become q first-class
city and the value of property will in
crease ten-fold.-Peabody Graphic.
