The first thing in order at the meeting was three cheers for Benjamin Harrison, given with will that indicated that the lungs of the veterans were not impaired by age. It was voted to re- vive the organization, which was first formed in 1880 and through whose efforts General Grant was brought to Hartford to participate in big State parade, which was the chief ~ture of the campaign.

A New Tnrnedn Rnat-

An invention that is likely to revolutionize
hghting, and prove powerful protection to
cities and harbors from hostile attacks. is
zen. Berdans torpedo boat 1t is a plate
steel war ram of high speed, with double
ends, decked like a ferryboat, and CARRYING
attachments that will plant torpedoes in the
bottom of a craft at u great distance in a
short time 1t is double ender, with screws
and steering apparatus at each end The spur
is only six feet long, and is intended to pene-
trate that distance into a ship when it is
oVerhauled. The deck is rounded like ferry
boat, and can stand a severe shock. 1t has n
radius of twelve degrees, which protects the
spur when the ram approaches at an angle
less than forty-fve degrees. With this, it is
said, there can be no loss or breaking of
spurs. The smoke stack and steam Pine are
built to telescope when within u mile of the
enemy's ship, and the ram can then run the
remainder of the distance on reserved steam.
At the moment of contact il is only necessary
to turn lever, which liberates a long.
jointed arm of positive motion, and this will
carry the torpedo through the water and
plant it firmly in the bottom of the other
ship, which cannot hope to escape. To pro-
tect the ram from small torpedo boats of the
enemy, it can be accompanied by two small
vessels OF the same character. All four of
the torpedoes can be exploded at once. 1t is
said that these torpedo boats will prevent
any possibility of city's being shelled.-

"Expoctntionn g. Life.

In its closing issue for the year 1886 The
Lancet publishes an article ON "Comparatiye
Mortality in England and America" From
an examination Of the experience tables of
life misunderstanding considerably more
than 1900, 600 years of life under observation
it appears that the expectation of lifen of
insured males in this country at 90 years of
age is A.. years, which exceeds by one year
the sexpectation Of life'' of English males at
the same age. This advantage continues
until the advanced age of "a is reached.
There is no difference in the "expectation''
between American women and English wo-
men at this age20 years. but afterward
and until the age of AZ the American ''expec-
tation" is better than the English. Beyond
this latter age the English women seem to
have the better of it, until at so there is a
year in their favor.
We use the word ''seemn advisedly. As a
matter of fact American women do not,
of course, grow any older after they have be-
come just as lovely as they can be; and this
period is reached, according to these tables,
somewhere between the ages Of 20 and AZ.
After this latter age our American matrons
can afford to let their English sisters "catch
up" with them.-Chicago News.

however, were saved by President Lincoln

the U. S. Government would immediate
ly hang two distinguished officers, one
nephew of General Robert E. Lee and the
other son of General Window, then
prisoners of war at Fortress Monroe. This
put stop to the execution on both sides,
