COMMUNICATIONS.
A Free Library.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Can it be true, as was stated some weeks ago in your columns, that New Haven does not want free ibrarya If so we venture to suggest that the failure of any enthusiasm in regard to it is because the place selected for it vas the State House. If such library is to succeed it is of the first importance it should be accessible to all who would desire to frequent it. It should be on a thorough fare where the horse car could bring the visi- tor to the door, with no high flight of stairs to ascend in order to reach it.
 With every possible facility of approach there will be many days in a climate like that of New Haven when icy streets and slippery steps would prove all effectual bar Tier to the in6rm timid who must go for themselves to procure the books or to return them when due. Why not combine the library with the new building proposed by the Young Mems Christian asso- citation, at least long enough to test it's value to the public! If this should be conceded it is right to expect that the interest will be far wider in behalf of both objects, ,and the mon ey more readily obtained The children in the public schools the mechanic and the clerk, the old and the young, will all have 6 share in the privileges of free library and no sum of money need be thought too large to contribute to the fund, while those who have books of reference, or such as are new and of value and interest in the present, will have an opportunity to show their good will and iberality.

respectable. The girls are just efficient, too, except when it comes to the heavy part of the work, such as lifting type from the stone, etc. The only reason that women do not become more of an influence among printers is because just they become capa- ble and are developing into frst-class print CTS, they either marry the editor or one of the printers, and retire from the case"
 "Are women printers increasing in num- ber2" questioned the reporter.
 ''I have no statistics on the subject" was the reply, "but from what I am able to learn I should say that they were slightly. The increase is not great, however. For instance, when I came into this office, seven eight years ago, there were only three female printers, now the number has increased to eleven. Not much of an increase for such a long period you may think, but such is the case"
 "Is there opposition among the other printers to women compositorsg" asked the reporter.
 ''Of course we have to meet with some op position," was the reply, "but it is not very great. I suppose that women have no more difficulty in getting position in the govern ment printing office than the men, but that does not mean the difficulty is slight by any means. There is no reason why women should not be useful in printing office as men if they would stick to it, and their pres ence there has done much to change the manners and customs of the composing room

WOMEN AS PRINTERS.
How They Have Succeeded in she Composing Room.

How They Have Succeeded in the
 Composing Room.
 From the Washington Star
 "Women are quite as good printers as men, remarked one of the female compost tors in the government printing office to a Star reporter who was talking to her on this subject. 1T don't say that they are better, but they average as well. A great many have the idea that as type setting requires a certain deftness of manipulation that women, having more facile hands, become better compositors. That has not been my experi- ence. I have seen men and women at the case, and while the best female typo settlers might rank with the best male, yet there would be all grades of both. Some women can never learn to be proficient at the case any more than some men can."
 "Are there many female compositors?' asked the reporter.
 "Not great number" was the reply, "but think they are increasing each year. At one time we had a union in New York city composed entirely of females, but that is no longer in existence. The women here be- long to the Typographical union, every printer is compelled to that works in the government printing office Most women learn their trade in country office; that is the way I did. After working for a time in that office came to this city, and that is the extent of my experience with composing rooms."
 "What effect has the presence of women ir composing rooms' inquired the reporter, as he called to mind the average composing room. "A very good effect, I should judge" wal 1 the response.

THE INDIAN SEVERALTx BILL.

THE INDIAN SEvERALTX BILL.
 It has taken long time to make change in the attitude of the government toward the Indians, and the change is not yet as com plete as could be wished. Still, there has been some progress, and those who have faithfully worked for a change have no req son to be discouraged. The belief is spread ing that there are other good Indians than deai ones, and the time is evidently coming when Indians will vote and be worthy the attention of politicians.
 Senator Dawes Indian severalty bill, which has just passed the Senate, will, if it be- comes law, mark long step forward in the treatment of the Indians It provides for dividing up the reservations among the Indians at the rate of one hundred and sixty acres to each head of family, eighty acres to each single person over eighteen years of age, and to every child under that age forty acres. The lands to be held for them by the government for twenty-five years and then patented absolutely. The lands not so allotted to the Indians are to be sold, with their consent, and the proceeds turned into the treasury to be paid out for the benefit of the Indians at the end of twenty-five years. During that interval the money is to draw interest at five per cent, the income to be used for educating the Indians and preparing them for self-support. This law is not to be applied to any tribe until the consent of two thirds of the men above twenty-one is ob- tained. The whole plan is to break up the tribes, individualize the Indians, make them self-supporting on their owii land, throw open the reservations to white settlement and settle the Indian problem by education and the contact of civilization.
 It is now believed by good judges that this bill has fair prospect of passing the House. It ought to, without trouble, for it is prom ising attempt to deal with the Indian ques- tion intelligently, fairly and humanely.

The Early Use Of Artillery by the
 T0rks.

From the National Review.]
 When Romulus was marking out the lim- it's of his new city, gunpowder was already known, and 5000 years before the birth of Schwartz pieces of ordnance had been cast in China. The Moors used guns in Spain in the beginning of 1200,.. if not in HOO. The claims of the Chinese having now been gen. eraliy admitted, it is supposed that ordnance reached Europe through the Moors of Spain or the Venetians. Neither, however, had any connection with China. It is unac- countable that it should not have been perceived by the Turks, who conquered the northern portion of China, in the early part of the thirteenth century, and were es- abolished all around the Black Sea, with the exception of strip between Varna and the Bosphorus. It is now doubted whether, indeed, the Black Prince did use guns at the Battle of Greasy; but there is no doubt that Murad I. had before then employed them at the battle of Cossovo. On both sides they were used, the Turks having al ready instructed the populations with whom they were at war Employing artillery in the field, it was easy Reversing the process in Europe) to apply it to fortresses; the peculiar nature of the Straits of the Bos- phorus and the Dardanelles invited to its use. To the batteries placed above Constantinople is attributed the fall of that city, the supplies from the Black Sea being cut off. At subsequent period, and after the Venetians had penetrated into the Sea of Marmora, they equally fortified the Oar danelles- The enormous calibre of the guns placed there still astonishes the travel er In the campaign that followed the cap ture of Constsntinople they had 300 guns. The siege train equally remarkable for weight of metal and number of guns. At the siege of Scutari they cast into the place shot of fourteen hundred weight. At that of Neuheussel, in Hungary, on the first day, 700 shot were gathered by the besieged of not less than three palms in diameter.
 The largeness of calibre was not the only point on which they anticipated modern in- vention. They employed red-hot shot at the siege of Vienna. The howitzer seems also to have been an invention of theirs, and also it's successive Improvements; even down to the time of Selim III. they ran ahead of Europe in invention. One species, adopted by the Russians under the name of Unicorn, :" gave rise to the Paixhan gun for red hot shot and horizontal shells. A battery of unicorns was taken from the Russians by the French af
 ter it had done good service at the battle of Smolensko. Napoleon, on seeing one of the captured guns next morning, is said to have exclaimed: ''Ce sont ces diables la qui nous ont attrapes de si loin hier." An improved instrument of this kind was the consequence of their attracting Napoleon's attention, and the celebrated Paixhan's gun subsequently, ap-

peared On one of these, and that of almost the smallest calibre, was based the new sys- tenn of field artillery by Louis Napoleon Bon aparte. With this instinct for warlike in struments, and as the first introducers of ar tillery into European warfare, the Turkish corps of artillery must have occupied an i'm portant place in their armies. The same instinct extended to Notifications. Adminis- trative disorder has prevented the applica- tion, and, therefore, seeing the dilapidation of their walls, and the neglect of all sorts of works whissNras prevailed for couple of centuries ofXFore, these statements must ap- pear extraordinary and incredible; but they rest on indubitable authority. They first used fanking walls and mined glacis; they first made regular approaches, and devised the system of zigzags and parallels. The latter were distinctly planned at the siege of Zegedetty, under Soleyman; and the former are mentioned at that of Candia, though of a peculiar fashion, and overlying each other as the scales of fish. They also first intro duced mining and even before the use of gunpowder reduced cities by burning down the curtains of the wall.

Consumption
 Conquered !!
WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as a last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than a gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of a cough or cold fly to it for the relief it never fails to give"
 DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. A copy of Dr. Flowers Rules for the Treatment of Consumption ac- companies each bottle.

the city of Marshall, Texas. Fifteen years
 ago when the Memphis and Fl Paso railroad
 was building the city contributed large tract of land and forty thousand dollars to secure the location of the principal offices and shops in the place. In time this road
 became part of the Texas 6 Pacific in the Gould system. Last year the Texas & Pa ei6c part of the System" went into the hands of receivers, who have abandoned the shops and offices at Marshall and concentrat- ed all business at Dallas. The citizens of Marshall got an injunction from the State courts, to which the receiver paid no atten- tion. An injunction was obtained from the United States court only after the removal was wholly accomplished. Now the city will sue in the courts for recovery of the land and the money contributed, with inter- est
 Patagonia has not been considered very attractive country, but now that gold has been found there it will get better reputa- tion. E. L. Baker, consul general to the Argentine republic, has made 8 report con- corning the matter. Great excitement pre- vails over the discovery, and the Chilians are already hard at work. One hundred of them from Sandy Point have been at work in body. They have only the crudest and most primitive appliances, which they have improvised on their own account. But, nevertheless, they have collected, on an aver age, 175 grammes, or $7, per day each. One Chilian whe has been operating alone took out in month five pounds of gold, or about $1 ,o0O worth. MT. Baker says that it is i'm possible now to estimate the extent or the wealth of the washings, but they are thought to be as rich or richer than those of Califor- mia and Australia. While giving all these facts, MT. Baker advises that no rush be made to these new mines until something more definite is known about them, which is very good advice.
