muzzle Of the gun," has been borne in
mind by those who devised these tre-
mendous engines Of war, and in place OF
those who man them in action, risking
their precious lives near the place where
a ball about the size of q water-bucket
hurriedly issues, to avoid being schorched
by the powder that has already burned
up its comfortable nest in the breech,
they keep in the background out OF
harms way-unless, indeed, the gun
should endeayor to usurp the peculiar
duties of a Government mule, or the
performance of q thrown-over applicant
for fat position. These ''great guns"
which, by the way, are not Of the vari-
ETY. that sailors say are blown on Father
Neptune's domain, are made in the latest
style, and are "breech-loaders. 1t may
tend to reassure the timid also to state
that they are "Quakers." This is not
the case, however, with all the ''weapons
of offense" seen in that portion of the
building. The Gatling gun is there with
its circle of ugly-looking mouths, and
rifled steel cannon, whose missile will
knock an OK over, even after its force is
spent. There are also trophies of war in
the shape Of captured cannon, which are
veritable tramps-gray, or rather green,
with old age, from which the fortunes of
war have stripped the polish but left
there instead the honorable scars and
honestly earned LONELINESS of veterans.
Scattered at random among the guns are
samples of the missiles used in them.
There are immense solid balls, and those
which are as large, but which are not
solid, and all the moro deadly for not
being being so, as the interior is filled
with smaller ones, each one of which at
the proper time starts ont on its own ac-
count with rowing commission to in
terview anybody or anything that stands
in its way. The cutlass, used in the old
fashioned hand to hand fights, when
'boarders'' were repelled in that way:
are there, with the old muskets, which
did the repelling at long range, and some
of them have history-one of the rifle
muskets, for instance, having served in
the Russian army during the Crimean
war, and perhaps might be one Of those
which impeded the progress of the ''six
hundred" who charged onward at
Balaklava. Our own ''late unpleasant
ness is viyidly recalled by the presence
of the stern part of the "Kearsage,"
with the solid-shot still in the ragged
hole, for which the gunners of the "Ala-
bama" are to be blamed In marked con-
trast to the metallic Titans, of which
mention was made before, is the model
of Parrot gun, which modestly stands
in the rear of its big brother; yet, small
as it is, it can bite as well as bark. Z.
While these things are usually viewed
as the enginery of war, the idea forces
itself upon the mind that the constantly
increasing destructive power with which
they are being endowed is gradually
Transforming them into the most effec-
tive enginery of Peace, and that the
knowledge of what they can do will pre-
vent the necessity for doing it.

the erection of city expressly for the

every conceivable emblem, and birds

given the impression that the whole

Everybody was present, with his sisters
and his cousins and his aunts, and their
sisters and their cousins and their aunts,
and so on ad infinitum.
The populace of the Queen City was
ranged in two divisions-the procession
and its spectators. Six State Governors
helped to swell the ranks of the parade,
which represented allegorically and prac-
tically the events which have taken
place within the past century, and mill
tary and civic officers lent countenance
to the large demonstration in o dual
sense.
At $3.50 p. m. the word was given and
the march began. The patrol-wagons,

HAVE NO USE FOR HIM,
A Leading Republican Paper Sounds
the Key Note Of Warning.


Ofcourse Republicans make preten-
sion of a sure thing, a certain victory, and
all that. They are bound to do so. But
occasionally there is one among them
honest enough to openly express his
honest convictions. The editor of the
Evansville Bulletin (Republican) is of
this class, and he speaks without at
tempt to conceal anything. None of
his Republican contemporaries have
copied this:
Evansville is the first commercial and
manufacturing city of the great State of
Indiana, the State which is the home of
the Hon. Ben. Harrison, Republican
nominee for the Presidency of the Unit
ed States, vet in this city of such vast
Importance the Republicans, with very,
very few exceptions, are utterly dis
gusted at the action of the Chicago con-
vention. Every man in this communi-
ty knows that the Bulletin is as true to
Republican principles as it is possible
for any paper in the world to be-those
principles we love and honor and hope
to see prevail, notwithstanding the fact
that the Republican candidate for the
Presidency has proved himself by his
record on the Chinese question to be an
enemy of American labor, and opposed
to liberal views by his fanaticism on the
temperance question.
His action in bulIdozing this State in
his behalf, and more especially Wander
burgh county, is not only liable to lose
us this county in the fall, but secures to
the Democracy an easy victory for its
State and National tickets.
On all hands among all classes of Re-
publicans we hear of their determina-
ton not to support Harrison, and it is
as well for Republicans all over the
Union to understand once for all that
Evansville, the first city of manufact-
uring Importance in Harrison's own
State, has no earthly use for him, and
will not give him its Republican sup
port.

A noted writer says that it is every
woman's duty to make herselfas pretty
as possible after as we'll as before mar
riage. That is all good logic, for many
women become almost regardless of
their personal attractiveness as soon as
married and settled as they think, for
life; but it is just as profitable, and a
great deal more so, to keep a mans
love as to gain it at first. But the
faults are not all with the women. Too
many men are very affectionate and
anxious to please until they are sure
they have gained the love they seek;
then they become apathetic and dull,
and say they have outlived the "non-
sense" of courting. No wonder that
the wife becomes apathetic and care
less, too. Both must continue the
tender words and caresses if they would
keep the golden charm of love.

Gen. Neal Dow, of Maine, says: 1.-THE
Republican temperance resolution is no
resolution at all. If they had let the
matter entirely alone there would have
been no case of sham and hypocrisy
against them. By shaking an empty
measure at the horse You can make
him believe that there are oats in it and
draw him to you, but the temperance
men need not be reckoned so foolish.
The Republicans cannot attract them
with this resolution, which is so broadly
drawn that it will never offend Howard
Crosby nor the meanest grog seller in
the slums of New York. A.great num-
ber-many hundred thousands-of
temperance men will this year go from
the Republican into the prohibition

would have done we'll to nominate.,s

The nomination of Mr.. Saltzgaber for
Congress is q fitting tribute to the
Democracy of Van Vert county. 1t
has been but few years since they
were in the minority. To-day the,
county is Democratic by good majori-
ty through the zeal and efforts of its
leaders, chief among them being our
candidate for Congress. 1t is the con-
slant clashing of contending forces that
brightens the armor and prevents its
rusting. For this reason, the Republi-
cans will find no rust on the armor of
the Democratic standard bearer, for he
has been continually waging the war;
fare against the enemy until his own
county has been redeemed, ,rand he will
not stop until the sixth, district has
been again placed in the Democratic
column where il justly and rightfully
belongs.-Defdnce Democrat.

The Nominee.

Old sayings often convey
some very pungent truth with
them, but we know they are
sometimes hard TO live up to.
We kn ow of one which says,
"Save the pennies and the S S
S will take care of themselves"
This is true enough, but unless
one knows how to save cents,
the dollars will not accumulate.
Take our advice and they will
soon. pile up. Our name is as
familiar to the people OF this
country as household word.
Still when you see it in print
continually it is reminder that
our advice in the past has been
q boon to those who take ad-
vantage of it. In every direc-
ton we meet your wants and
we guarantee satisfaction. The
present time deserves to be re-
corded in the pages of Ameri-
can History as the age Of bombs.
Citizens are terrorized. The
minions and watch-dogs of the
law are kept busy unearthing
diabolical plots and bringing Of
tenders to justice and our whole
social system is disordered. In
spite Of vigilance, however, a
scheme has just come to light
that has effectually blown to
pieces the combination to keep
up high prices on Paints and
Wall Paper. A heavy blow has
been dealt and prices have been
revolutlonized. The monopo-
listic march has been arrested
and the people are released from
the bondage in which they have
so long been held. Henceforth
they will get a guaranteed
quality and extensive assort-
ment to choose from for prices
which are the lowest of the low.
There is an end to all things.
The crisis which hung for so
long in the balance has burst
upon us and through the dim
visitia of the future, content and
happiness can be seen for those
who trade at the mammoth
Drug and Book House of Saur
& Balsley. Your homes need
frightening up, and nothing
can effect the change SO much
as some of those beautiful pat
erns of::Wall Paper and Window
Shades, for the inside, and some
of those bright and pleasant
shades of paint for the outside.
If you wish, these goods are so
put up that you can apply them
yourselves, thereby saving the
expense Of having an expert.
Therefore, come in and see
the styles, come and see the
slaughter in prices, which guar
antees you the pleasures of a
bright, neat and comfortable
home at a very little expense,
Our other departments are
all full and all goods sold at the
lowest possible notch. Goods
all new and fresh, and just what
we represent them to be. Our

A Great Popular CyclOpedia.

The third volume of Alden's Manifold Cyclopedia, marvel of condensed in formation covers the alphabet between the titles Artcmisia and Baptisia. There Seems to be little doubt that it will prove to be the great popular Cyclopedia for the next score of years at least. The embodiment of an Unabridged Dictionary of Language and complete Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge in one work, in large type, with thousands of illustca- tions, and all for price less than peo- ole have been used to paying for Die tionary alone, is not ouly novelty in plan, but to the ordinary ook-buyer the fact is hardly less than astounding. Its accomplishment will certainly be credtai ble Alden's Literary Revolution.
 As to the quality of the work, both literary and mechanical, any common sense reader is capable of judging. The volumes received at this office (which any reader is welcome to call and examinr) are certainly deserving of the unstinted praise which they seem to be receiving. The venerable Prof. Day, of Yale Col lege speaks of the work in the following emphatic terms: "The book in all re- spects more than answers my expecta- tions. It is a very neat volume, of a form convenient for use, firmly bound, of large, clear type, with contents of just that general character which the popular reader requires accu- rate, and compact. Its marvelously low cost makes it prize eagerly to be sought in every intelligence-loving household. "
