The Bursting of the "peaeemaker."

Commodore Stockton's "Peacemaker,"
which burst on board the United States
steamer Princeton, on the 2Sth of Febru-
ary, 1874, was of English manufacture.
Il was manufactured at the Mersey
works, of Yorkshire wrought iron,
brought to this country and subjected at
Sandy Hook to what was deemed the
proper test. After the first firing, prep
arations were made to mount the gun.
In doing this a crack was perceived op-
posite the chamber, which induced Com
modore Stockton TO have the breech
strengthened by putting bands around
it. These bands were represented as be-
ing l-2 inches in thickness. With this
additional strength given to the defective
part of the gun, the experiments were
renewed, and the result was a decided
conviction upon the minds Of all con-
nected with them that, in general, the
anticipations of Commodore Stockton
were perfectly realized; and, secondly,
that il gun OF this construction should
yield to the force Of the trial, it would
be by single opening, and not, as in
FAST iron, q violent disruption aud scat
tering of the fragments. Unfortunately
his anticipation was not realized, anu
The fragments killed several of the dis.
inguished spectators. - Ben: Perley

stoutness q Sign Of Disease-A Man Of
Extraordinary Weight.

Extrnofuihary "eishIf
Fatness, or stoutness, is still loosely
mentioned as evidence of health, al
though everybody acquainted with the
laws Of hygiene knows that it is nothing
of the kind. you're getting fat" is a
common form of greeting intended to be
complimentary; but if it be true, it is
seldom so regarded. Stout persons, par
hcularly women, are very sensitive on
the point, and would be glad TO forget
il, not TO be continually reminded Of it.
They are but too well aware of the incon-
venience, awkwardness and discomfortof
the condition to be pleased by any refer
ence thereto. Not only this, any excess
Of flesh is sign of disease, if not disease
itself. If' is altogether preferable, on
every account, to be thin rather than
fat, to have too little rather than have
too much avoirdupois. Stoutness, al
though not so called, is unquestionably
misfortune. Everybody that is stout
wishes to be otherwise, and many that
are stout are trying various ways to re-
duce themselves. A man Of ordinary
height and build who weighs 200 pounds
generally weighs more than he ough to,
and is made conscious Of il in divers
ways. There are exceptions; but
such is the rule. One of the extraor,lin-
ary exceptions, as reported, was the
noted Daniel Lambert. In youth hewas
very strong. excelled in athletic exer-
cises, and gave no indications Of corpu-
loDoa Put hofora on ba ha1an ~ in
crease rapidly in size. which he as
cribed to sedentary habits as keeper Of
the prison at Leicester. At 20, when he
weighed 44S pounds, he walked from
Woolwich to London with little fatigue.
He excited so much curiosity that he de-
cided to exhibit himself, and he drew
crowds in the chief cities of England.
He was five feet eleven inches high.
measured nine feet four inches about the
body, more than three feet around the
leg. and weighed at his death, which oc-
CURED at 50. 100 pounds.
No doubt his immense bulk was due TO
some organic disease, which an autopsy
would have disclosed. Pathology was
not nearly so well understood seventy
years ago as it is now. 1t is preposter-
Gus to suppose that any man of SO extra
ordinary accumulation of flesh could
have been in good health. II very
stout man were healthy, the fact of his
stoutness would, after while, be very
likely to cause some physical dis
order.-New York Commercial Adver-

Iumbus.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. % George Brad
ford, a director OF the Columbus Base
BaNCluh, has been IN Atlanta for two
days pulling first one string and then an
other with a view TO getting Columbus
back into the league. He says that Co.
lumbus has raised $1,000, aud is willing
to paw eeod sum for the franchise Of
some club. Yesterday ne made a strong
efortto get the Atlanta directors to agree
to taking in knoxville and Columbus,
thereby increasing tho number Of clubs in
the league from six TO eight, but this
proposition fell fiat bore and in Chatta-
Oooga. Mr.. Bradford then telegraphed
Charleston that he would give her $1,000
for her franchise, and told the NEWS cor
respondent that he would give $1,000. To-
day he made a straight offer 80 Atlanta OF
$1,000 for her franchise and the contracts
OF the men signed.
ATLANTNs STOCK.
l ne STOCK OF bne Atlanta association Is
divided into twenty shares OF SEQ eacl.
All Of them are not taken, and a mSiOrity
OF them that have been subscribed for and
paid up are gentlemen who last year lost
every dollar that they advanced, hut were
willing to try IL again this wear, even ii
an additional sacrifice had 20 be made.
When MIR. Bradford made the offer, which
is considered q handsome one, direo-
tors held a meeting TO consider it. 1t was
decided to make a canvass of the city,
and If $4,000 could ne raised in good sub
scriptions TO decline the offer, or other
wise TO let Columbus have the franchise
and contracts at the figure named.
ATLANTA INCLINED TO SELL.
Many of the directors are inclined to
sell, as by doing SO they can see their way
out Of last years losses Besides this,
they are aware Of the fact that strong
opposition TO base ball has been worked
mp here by sam Jones, DR.. hawthorne anu
others, and there is a question whether
the games will draw as well as they did
last year. A number Of prominent citi-
zens " ere asked this afternoon to sub
scribe and thereby lessen the responsible
lty that the directors Will have upon their
shoulders, but no encouragement was
given. Monday another canvass Will be
made, and & $4,000 is not raised the popu-
lar impression is that Columbus bid will
be accepted. The offer is so flattering and
the outlook to those wh0 are financially
interested so discOuraging that it is hard
TO tell what viii be done Monday.
