A Big French Siege Gum.

Continued experiments are reported
as being made by the French Govern
ment, with new and improved siege
guns, one of the most recent am ing
these being prodigious power-the
most effective probably, of its class yet
constructed, 1t is described as made
of steel and nearly thirty feet in length
The tube Is siren thened with ten cells
of plated wire one millimeter of l69
inch in diameter. The composition is
said to be such that the canon, after a
few discharges, becomes elongated to
the degree of three millimeters. The
weight of this gun is fifty tons, and it
projects Il shell weighing nearly 800
pounds, capable of penetrating armer
plates nearly six inches thick, at u
range of seven and one.half miles.

An ingenious instrument for ascer
tanning the distance of accessible and
inaccessible points from the observer
and from each other has been invented
by DR.. Luigi CerebotanI, Professor
of the University of Verona. The
apparatus consists mainly of pair OF
telescopes mounted on a stand and
fixed on a tripod for use. The tele-
scopes are both brought TO bear on the
object, and reading is then taken
from graduated scale on the nstru-
ment, which, compared with a set of
printed tables, gives the distance. By
this means the inventor obviates the
necessity for the base line. which has
hitherto had TO be laid down in these
operation, and he dispenses with all
calculations. Dis
tances can be measured between far
of objects, and by means of sheet of
paper fixed on a drawing board a
rough plan OF the country under meas
urement can be sketched In the same
way the distances Of ships at sea, or
OF moving objects on land, can be
determined. The apparatus pears
to be well adapted for land surveying,
and particularly for military purposes.
In fact, 1t is stated to have been already
adopted in the German Army in the
latter connection, and il is about to be
tried by the authorities of our War
Department. A practical trial was
made with this instrument on the
Thames embankment lately, when its
varied usefulness was demonstrated

ED. SOUTH KENTUCKIAN:
AS 'IntO every life some rain must
fall some days be dark and dreary,"
so is the blessed sunshine of earthly
joy necessary to fill up the measure
Of human existence and to expand it
into those majestic proportions
which shall be typical of its divinity.
As the hardest plant will soon as
sumo sickly hue and become frail
and delicate if deprived of the nour-
ishing rays ola physical sun, so will
the human mind, without the benign
influence of congenial association
and left to feed upon itself, ere long
grow diseased ; it will lose its pow
er OF truly generous feeling and fl
nally degenerate into that miserable
selfishness which is the natural re-
suit of constant contemplation of
self.
The young people of this vicinity,
after being housed for four months
by bad weather and still worse roads.
have particularly felt the need of So
cial enjoyment which was afforded
them at the delightful party given
by Mr.. Robt. Boyd, on the night of
the 18th. inst. This party was hur-
riedly gotten up and comparatively
a small number of invitations had
been issued, however, the crowd was
sufficiently great for the genuine
pleasure of all present. The mental
pleasures of the evening consisted of
agreeable social converse, together
with most excellent music, made by
Mr.. Charlie Adams and the
Misses Stroube, which added greatly
to the pleasure of the occasion and
was much appreciated, especially by
the "old folks" and the children, who
sat as beings cntranced. Another
not unimportani factor in the make
up of the evenings entertainment
was a most bountiful repast, served
about ten o'clock p. NJ, consisting of
a variety Of the substantial edibles
topped of by PERFECT feast of DELI
cious cakes, pickles, etc, Indeed
this party was grand success in ev-
cry particular, and Camille desires
TO return many thanks to Mr.. and
Mrs. Boyd, and also their two attrac-
tive daughters, Misses Mary and
Lou, who played the role of hostesses
with charming simplicity, rendering
the evening one of unalloyed enjoy
ment TO their guests.
A settled conviction that the l. A.
~ Il. railroad will eventually be COM
pleted to Princeton, Ky, makes it
imperatively necessary for Hopkins
vile to take some steps to counter
act the injurious effect which the
building of the aforesaid road will
have upon her business interests.
SO long as this project was mere
speculative theory of enthusiastic
cranks, Hopkinsville could afford to
laugh in derision at the idea and
proudly boast Of her Indifference to
the scleme, but now in the face of
stern facts she must awake from her
lethargy and go TO work ifshe would |
retain the patronage which has here !

Moses Calon was sentenced to-
death, Monday, in Union county, for
the murder of his wife, Hester Cation,
on Feb. %, 1885. Within 30 days
from the commission of his diabolic-
al crime the murderer was convicted
by a jury OF his countrymcn. If ev-
cry murder case could be tried as
PROMPTLY and every jury could be in
duced TO enforce the law as rgidly
as in this case, there would soon be
better order Of things in Kentucky.
But as long as murder cases are per-
mitted to drag through the courts,
from term to term, until the Witness
es die with old age or leave the coun-
try D.; as long asjuries allow their SYM
pathy to get the better of their sense
of duty and let pity for the living
cause them to forget the murdered
dead, so long will bloodshed and
crime disgrace the fair name of Ken
lucky and cause the Commonwealth
to be regarded far and wide as the
lawless home Of cut-throats and as
sassins. In Rowan county, only last
week, the officers of the law were no.
tilted through the mails that they
must leave the county. One deputy
sheriff was killed and the county al
torney badly wounded by assassins
who fired upon them from ambush,
and the other officers of the county
have left the county rather than risk
their lives by remaining. In other
counties it is almost as hard 10 C, =
force the laws and punish crime, and
even here in the enlightened county
of Christian, people arc not safe rs
they sit by their iiresides, work in
their fields or go to and from their
daily labor. An examination OF our
criminal docket, will substaniiatc
this statement. Murders committt d
years ago are still untricd and some
of them will perhaps never be tried.
If by chance criminals are brought
TO trial an acquittal is sure to follow
nine times out of ten, unless the pris-
oncr is some poor devil without
money or friends. How long is this
thing TO continue? How long is crime
to go unpublished There will come
time when the people will no long
er submit TO this state of affairs. The
tide Of public sentiment is already
beginning to set i'll the direction Of
law and order. The people are begin
ming to see that Christian Co. needs
some hangings, and tie verdict Of the
jury yesterday in the case of Jordan
Taylor will he commended by every
good citizen. Death is the only ade-
quate punishment for such crimes as
his.
