The attention of the town Council is
again called to the hole in the Donaldson
vile wharf. On Wednesday night deck
hand of one Of the river boats, not being
able to see well on account of the darkness,
fell through it and was somewhat bruised
up. Fortunately his fall occurred in place
where the mud was rather soft, and no
greater damage was caused him than the re-
novat Of few patches of skin. This is the
secopd- or third time this has happened. A
week ago man, whose name we could not
ascertain, in going out to take passage on
a boat, passed through the opening, sustain
ing some small Injuries. On nights ouch
as these two, when one car. hardly see his
hand before him for the inky biackness
hich prevails, it is impossible, even with
the exercise Of all the precautions which the
wharf-master can take, to prevent accidents
OF this kind from happening to strangers
who know nothing of the break Should
any thing serious take place the town will
be liable in damages; and we suggest as a
precautionary measure, the necessity, II
repairs can not Immediately be made, of at
least strong railing, i'll order that the
hole may no longer continue trap to catch
the unwary passer-by.

A Rebel Leader in Washington.

Washington Letter in New York World.l
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, who is now
serving his second term in Congress
from Alabama, is one of the few South
ern members who has sought to make
figure in society. Last night he
opened his large house on the corner
OF Massachusetts, Avenue and Four
teenth Street to as great g. crowd as
has ever been entertained in Washing
ton outside of the White House. Gen.
Wheeler is successful cotton planter,
and this explains his financial ability
to give q large entertainment. 1t is
the first distinctively Southern enter
tainment that has been given here in
some time. The carpets and rugs
throughout the lower part of the
house were all taken up. There was
dancing in the large picture gallery and
endless crowding in every corner of
this great house. There were more
Southern people present at this re-
ception than have been seen in any
house IN Washington since the war.
Gen. Wheeler is one Of the most prom
inent of the surviving Confederate gen.
erals. He was a graduate OF the five
years course dO w 0SU II 1IlG III % dnO
was an officer in the regular army at
the time of the breaking out of the
Rebellion. He was the principal Off
Ger in command of the armies of the
West and Southwest during the latter
part Of the Rebellion. He was chiefly
noted for his success as a cavalry
leader. He is a slight man and under
sized. He does not look to be over
it. 6 in. in height. He has a high
sloping forehead, piercing black eyes,
straight nose, g. sallow complexion
and sharp face, partly hidden by a
black mustache and long, dark chin
whiskers. His hair is black, thin and
straight. It is combed back without
parting into long roll at the back of
his neck. He has much more the look
of an evangelist than of a soldier.
This appears to be the popularity of
the appearance of many of the South
ern military leaders. Stonewall Jack
son had the air and manner of a revi-
valist. Malone looks not unlike an
exhorter.

He Doesn't FIirt Any More.
From the San Francisco Chronicle. I

From the San Francisco Chrenicle.1
He doesn't firt any more. He has
no use for personals; in fact, he has
never sworn off at all; he simply gave
up. A man is very stupid sometimes.
He does not look critically at his wife,
and he is altogether too fond of be-
lieving in the confding quality of wo-
mankind. A few weeks ago he took
his wife to the theater. On the oppo-
site side of the dress circle sat pretty
girl in a red bonnet, and she was look
ing around for somebody to devour.
She wanted to firt, and when wo-
man wants to firt she's never too
ugly or too old to be accommodated.
She had two or three young men
about town on the string. They pre-
tended to be deeply interested in the
play, but they kept their chances on a
pair of eyes under a red bonnet. In
the most guileless and innocent way
he fell victim to the pretty girl, and
with that natural wickedness of the
sex she was more desperately intent
on the married man than on the single
ones. Two days afterward there was
personal in the paper:
RED bonnet Theater,
Thursday; You W re SO pretty; send
address to -
He sent q messenger boy with the
card to the newspaper office and got a
reply. 1t was his wife's handwriting.
1t read thus:
81 don't think you need to adver.
tise me-"
And he went home and found his
wife sitting in the parlor. She had
just come home from calling and she
wore g. red bonnet, And he did not
say word, but the next time he went
to the theater he asked her carelessly
not to wear that bonnet, and she
knew she had not made any mistak e

PASSING oF OLD FARMER BROWN.
BY ]. B. WALTER, NJ. d.

The summer was over, the autumn was past;
aud mOwS;
Around the great barn swept the snow-ladened
Within, warm and coy, the solemn-eyed COWS
And fat, well-groomed horses stood munching
their hay
All day had the feathery flakes fallen fast,
Till highlands and lowlands were hidden from
Beneath the white shroud, cold and cherries and
vast,
That lay over ALL Still the light crystals flew
AS night settled down; then the wind rose amain
And roared Ger the chimney and ratified the
pans,
And shrieked at each crevice and tossed the light
snow
In swift-whirling eddies, till round the old
manSe- -
With quaint gambrelroof andits porch wide and
low
A legion of storm-fends screamed loudi in their
dance,
And spruce tree and pine sadly moaned as they
And swayed their long arms, where the chicka-
Gees clung.
The wide, open heart was aglow with the blaze;
The logs hummed tune and the tea-Ke1Ule
Nowloud and now low, on its crane. of the days
Whenvoices of youth through the great kltchen
And old farmer Brown bent and feeble andgray,
Sat there by the fire while his thoughts stray q
away,
Far back through the past and were busy with
names
And faces of those who, ere lie's morning glow
Had faded away, left their fever racked frames,
And passed to a land where the ebb ana the
flow
OF time is unknown. And he fancied one form
Had come to his side through the night and the
storm,
And stroked with soft hand the bowed head, as
of old,
And spoke of the days when she stood at his
side
AS now, by the hearth, or with him watched the
gold
And crimson of still summer sunsets; when
wide
And rosy their path wound DER LIES pleasant
And love was their pole star and tempered life s
gales
No voice stirred the air, but his soul caught the
sound
And throbbed to her tones as the harp strings
will thrill
When wandering night winds the tense coros
have found,
Or light, skilful fingers roam DER them at will.
But tense cords may snap and the music viii
cease,
And world weary souls soon orlate, find release.
He sat there and smiled while the tea-kettle
sang,
Now high and now low to the blazing logs tune,
But heard not nor saw how the sparks upward
sprang,
For winter had bloomed into roses of June.
And old farmer Brown, bent and feeble and gray,
Had passed from the scene of hislabors away.

KrupD Guns,

The exclusive use of crucible steel
for cannon, leading to perfection OF
means for making it, has been followed
by an increase of lghtness in gun or
ganization, which renders possible an
enormous increase of calibre. Here is
10-inch gun, calibre 35-i. e., 80 times
as long as the diameter of it's bore
which weighs only 81 tons. There was
shown me plate combined of II inches
of iron, 2 inches wood-packing, and a
second iron plate of inches thickness,
making q compact mass, which had
been pierced by shot from this gun.
The ga shot was propelled by 165
pounds of powder; the distance was 491
feet, and after passing through the tire
BILE plate, the shot actually went l mile
and 642 yards beyond. An old wrought
iron gun would have had to be unman-
ageably large, thick, and heavy to do
anything like that, and would never
have fired another shot. In modern
gun-making mere bulkiness is got rid
of, as in nature the megatherium has
been got rid OF. the increased size of
guns representing an increase of power
rendered possible by refinement of ma

power in machinery for managing and
moving large masses.
Chief-Engineer King, in his Var
Ships and Nauies of The World, pro-
nounces the 71-ton Krupp gun "the
most powerful breech-loading gun ever
constructed on the continent of
Europe" and holds it superior to the
100-ton Armstrong. The 71-ton is 80
feet 9 inches long, greatest diameter, 5
feet 6 inches; length of bore, % feet
inches; diameter of bore, 15.75 inches !;
diameter of powder-chamber, 1872
inches. Over the tube (of two parts,
neatly jointe6 are 4 cylinders, and a
ring around the breech. It is rifed
with uniform twist of l in As. It is
impossible to fire it until the breech is
fully closed. The back of The breech.
block is rounded like the letter D. II
holds maximum charge of 385 pounds
of powder, carrying chilled iron shell
of 1708.8 pounds. This is the gun
that fossilizes so many fortresses. 1t
is quasi miraculous that this mass can
be so easily moved. Mo7acatTe d. Con-
