Gen. Hector Tindale post, No. l'0. of this
city, has been presented with small brass
cannon, which is apparently toy, but it has
a historical interest. II was used at the bat
the Of Antietam, Sept. IL, 1862, with deadly
effect. 1t was drawn from Sharpsburg while
the hattie WAS in progress by boy Ii years
Of age, who lived in the vicinity, and who,
like Old John Burns at Gettysburg a year
later, went into the conflict Oh his own per
sonal responsibility. He took a position on
AN elevation, and with his little cannon faced
the enemy and poured load after load of
deadly missiles from the muzzle Of his minia-
ture cannon into the ranks of the Confesier-
ates. Tho young hero fought for hours in
the ranks OF the Union army. Among the
LOO, 90 msn with whom he fought there was
not one with whom he had any personal ac-
9uaintancc.
While thus engaged he was shot, it Is be
heved, by n Confederate sharpshooter. When
found he was lying upon his face, with his
body across the little gun. After his death
the cannon was kept until recently when it
was SOLD for old brass and brought to this
city with other old metals. A comra,ie of the
Tyndale post, who is extensive metal
broker, learned tho history of the little piece
Of artillery, then dirty and corroied, and
presented it To the society. 1t has been

A gentleman, formerly professor in

following travesty of justice illustrative OF

came To DIR. Lord, missionary there, and
asked if 1t was ever right to tell lie. This
was n stagirerer for the doctor, and he said
he would have to know the case before he
could decide, although, on general principles,
he did not think it WAS The case Is this"
replied the seeker after truth: "a Turk, a
stranger tn Inc, living In Rutschuk accused
me of buying and receiving from him 900
sheep l knew Of no way Of proving that
did not buy and receive these sheep, and the
case must certainly 60 against me. II came
up for trial today, and after the charge had
been made admitted that had bought and

ObservatOrics Devoted to u Speciality.
In lecture recently delivered before the
Scientific society of Bamberg, Bavaria, DIR.
Hartwig, the director of the new astronOmi
cal observatory there, sketched out the future
work of that institution. 1t was well, he
said, that an observatory should devote itself
to some speciality, with which its name
should be associated; that of Paris WINS
with the discrimination and mapping Of tho
fixed stars; Greenwich, with the movements
Of tho moon; Vienna, with comets, and SO OIL
In a similar way Bambcrs would occupy a
certain limited field, and labor therein. In
the first place it would undertake the sys-
tematic investigation of the parallaxes OF tho
liked stars, IA work which had already been
partially performed at tho Cape observatory
for the southern, and at New Haven in the
United States for the northern hemisphere.
Bami,erg will he provided with a finch hell
omcter, the largest of its kind at present in the
world, although the Cape observatory will
soon lie provided with one Of the same size.
DR. Hartwig pointed out that at present
the parnIIaxes Of only eight or ten of the stars
We're calculated, while about 200 remained
to be done, and this, he said, would take a
single qualified observer more than thirty
years to accomplish. He hoped that as Ieil,
sic and Gpttinger We're about to be provided
with heliometers, they would participate in
the work, SO that in comparatively short
time may obtain more accurate notion
of the distance of many of the fixed stars and
of their grouping i'll space Another work
which Bamberg would undertake Is the invcs-
tigation of the ply steal filtration of the moon
IA problem that has been studied at konigs-
berg since lS4j, and in Strasturg since 1S70.-
