A Relic Of the war.

The Listener witnessed recently an in-
teresting little ceremony--the removal Of
three charges from an old revolver, which
had been borne, and evidently used, by
an officer on the field OF Cedar Creek, on
Oct. 10, 1864. On that day, Capt. G. f.
W, of the Thirteth Massachusetts,,
had, as he charged with his company the
stone wall behind which the Confederates
were entrenched, drawn this old i've
shooter, Of the most approved ante war
type, which looks about as much like the
ordinary Colt or Smith q Wesson Of this
day as a revolutionary flrelock does like
the latest pattern Of magazine rifle. The
revolver was loaded, but the captain had
discharged two shots from it. Then he.
was himself shot through the heart, and
fell. The men pushed on; the Confeder-
ates were driven from their position, and
defeat turned into victory; but when Gen.
Sheridan rode before the reformed line,
and complimentcd the troops upon their
bravery, the gallant captain lay back
upon the field, among the dead and
wounded
His revolver, with the remaining three
charges in 1t, was sent home to his family,
and from that day to this the clnrges re-
mained In it, like asheathel weapon ready
for service. Occasion had arisen, how
ever, to pass the old pistol on to q still
younger hand, and it was deemed best 70
draw the old CHARGES at last. So the three
percussion caps, that looked as old fash
ioned as flint lock itself 20 this genera
ton, were removed. The bullets, with
their paper cartridges, were carefully
drawn; and the powder fell out Of them.
some OF It as bright and doubtless IS
energetic, II one were to test II, as when
the captain loaded his revolver before the
battle of Cedar Creek. TO one who was
there, the sight Of those old cartridges
must have brought back grim and nov-
ing spectacle Of as gallant charge as the
war had known. Boston Transcript

People who travel nowadays in Pullman

rails threw the train or the track, but
generally the cars b0wled merrily along
over the break, and the passengers were

they didn't know that anything extra0r-
xiinary had happened until some one told

A fight between about 100 crows and
perhaps 200 or 300 English sparrows was
witnessed at Cumminsville, O., just boz
fore sundown some time ago. The crows
Were returning TO their ro0kery from feed
ing, when they were attacked by the spar
rows. Four or five Of the latter would
get after one crow and pick ID so badly as
TO almost disable it. IN fnct, three or
four fell to the ground, being SO badly in
jured as to be unable 70 fly. The fight
resulted IN the complete ront Of the crows,
and they seemed only too anxious 70 get
away. One Of them which was picked
up was found to have had both lis eyes

WOMEN GAMBLERS.
A Minister of the Gospel Talks About

Rev. Edmund Hez Sven of the Sec
ond Baptist Church would make a first
class advertising agent for patent
medicine, and the amount of it he is
doing for Mr.. Hez Sven is almost
enough to warrant call for the police.
In his address last Sunday on gambling
he has this among other statements:
"Women gamble in this city. Many
of them are shining lights in the very
best society. How do they commence
They commence with cards by playing
a game with q ten-cent limit. Soon
they go beyond this limit, and make it
twenty and fifty cents. After a
year or so they will not play for small
stakes. The women gamblers Of to-day
are as reckless as any of the French or
Spanish women who crowd about the
tables at Monte Carlo. Women are
more anxious to win than men; more
elated by success; more depressed by
loss.
"Women of all grades of society at
tend the races here, and some of them
bet large sums upon the various sport
ing events. have been informed that

The Process of Putting a steol Tube Ini
12-Inch Cannon.

The Process of Putting steol Tube Into
12-Inch Cannon.
At the ordnance foundry of the South
Boston Iron Works large force of
workmen is at present engaged in COM
pleting the third and last in the series
of the three heaviest rifled guns ever
built in this country for the United
States Government. This gun has l2-
inch bore, and is made of cast iron, with
a steel tube and steel hoops. The ap-
preparation for the building of these
large guns was made by Congress in
1888, upon the recommendation of the
Logan committee, and the contract was
awarded to the South Boston Company.
The first gun was made wholly of ast
iron, and, when finished, was taken to
Sandy Hook, where it was tested, but It
was not recommended for introduction
into the service. The second gun was
made of cast iron, hooped and tubed
with steel, and was finished March 4,
1887, but, owing to lack of appropria-
tion, 1t was not delivered until last
April, after Congress had passed an
urgency deficiency bill This gun was
transported to Sandy Hook, but 1t has
not yet been tested. The gun which is
now in the shops approaching compile
tion, is of the Italian type, and the
work Of putting in the steel tube, which
is inserted at the rear of the barrel, ex-
tending through from the breech, was
completed yesterday, after three trials,
to insure getting perfectly tight
joint at the shoulder or casing
of the gun. The process OF
placing the steel tube in the gun was de.
scribed to representative of the Bos-
ton Herald by Captain Lyle, inspector OF
ordnance, who is now stationed at the
South Boston Iron Works, and who in.
spects all the work done on this gun
The gun was placed horizontally over O
longitudinal pit, and was then covered
in with boiler and sheet iron. A fire
was built under it, extending from the
breech of the gun to point in front OF
the trunnions. The body of the gun was
expanded by the heat, and the stee
tube was inserted from the rear. A
stream of cold water was kept circulating
through the bore of the tube, to keer
1t cool, during the whole operation
which lasted about 81 hours. The CUR
was then cooled down at the breech tC
make it grip the tube, so that in con
tracting, the front end of the tube wal
brought to q tight joint against the
forward shoulders in the casing or body
of the gun. An ingenious arrangement
OF bolts and set-screws, together with
100-ton jack, was used in inserting the
tube and holding it in place until tn,
cooling was completed. The gun will
be transferred to the lathe in a few day
to be finished, bored and rifled, and vii
be delivered to the Government earl,
in the fall.

TAKoMA PARK, d. c., July 81 1888.
EDITOR CRITIC: l have frequently noticed
in your columns reports Of the speeches Of
Jedge Waxem of Wayback, and had formed a
favorable opinion of his political as well as his
general ability, but must say that | was a
good deal shocked at the inaccuracy of certain
statements he made at q mass-meeting held
here Saturday evening. He had been invited
to address the Takoma Park Civil Service Re-
form Club and it was expected that his re-
marks would be entirely independent OF party
sentiments.
On the platform were seated Mr. Thomas
Brashers, Mr.. G. VIM. Curtis, Mr.. A. Lamond,
DIR. G. G. Stone, Mr. w, w. Rapley, Mr.. VIM.
Pierce Bell, Mr.. B. Y. Gilbert, Rev. Mr.. REM
ington and Senator ID, w, Vorhees. There
were about 1000 persons present and the au-
| dience was largely composed Of manufacturers
and farmers, there being only about 800 per-
sons there from Washington who were en-
| ployed in the Departments You may judge
Of the astonishment Of the audience, when in
stead of giving us a lecture on the effects OF
Civil Service, Jedge Waxem, after his intro
| duction by Mr. Gilbert, who acted as chairman
of the meeting, proceeded to make the most
fiery partisan address that was ever listened
TO by mortal man, and all against the Repub-
llcan party and In the interests of tariff re-
form, as he expressed 1t.
In listening to him you might have thought
that he intended TO be member OF Mr.. Cleve
! lands next Cabinet in place of Attorney-Gen-
eral Garland, He made great many errone-
| GUS statements, among Others that TakomG
| Park employed last year only $4,000 persons
In manufactures. We claim l6,500 lie
stated that the output Of productions In the
Park for the year 1887 was only IS, ,464, 900
| Statistics show the amount - be in excess OF
| Sl0,000,000, lie tried TO make the farmers be
| lieve that there would be a tax on hay pro
vidng the Mills bill failed TO pass, and he
showed conclusively that it cost one
cent to pay the duty on every cup of tea and
coffee consumed,
He said that II the Mills bill passed the mel
employed in manufacturing, instead of pay
ing IS for a suit Of clothes could buy one fol
- with a looking-glass, comb and brusl
thrown in His statements became so wild
that the chairman of the meeting had TO cal
time on him. Speeches were made by DIR
Stone and others. We trust that at the mex
meeting you will have your reporter presen
and see that justice is done this rapidly rising
suburb. We do not propose to again permi
Jedge WaXem to come among MS, unless W,
are iirst informed of what lie is going to say
