THE new two thousand ton cruisers, for
which bids have been asked, illustrate in
their armament the advance that has been
made in that line since the building of the
new navy began. The policy now most
approved dictates the use of u very few
very heavy guns, and these ships will have
only two six-incb guns for long range or TO
penetrate heavy armur, and the place Of
the other heavy guns that would have been
mounted on q ship of this tonnage is TO he
taken 10y rapid fire guns, eight of them OF
four-inch calbrc These will be the largest
and the first machine guns ever mounted
In the primary battery of man-of war.
They will have TO do the bulk of the work
in n close action, and ~ they have never
been thoroughly tried In actual battle naval
authorities have been very cautious In
adopting them. These comparatively small
cruisers will cost seven hundred thousand
dollars each.

MANY icebergs are reported in the track
of the great ocean ferry and the steamship
Bourgogue of the French line describes one
a thousand feet long and rising n hundred
and ffly feet above the water. As only
about one eighth of the whole mass appears
above the surface it is possible that this
berg reached down into the ocean depths
over a thousand feet. The explorer Ross
records an iceberg in Baflins bay which
was aground in water that proved by
sounding To be fifteen hundred feet deep.

KING MENELEK, of Shoa, has become
king of Abyssinia, and though no one in
this part of the world cares very much; the
fact is important to those watching African
affairs. His country adioins Abyssnia,
and has been pominally tributary to it, but
the victories of the Mahdsts have made
the union under one king desirable for all
concerned. Mcnelek is warrior, and
hopes TO "smash the Mahdi." He il
friendly to Italy.

melon disease presents an analogous

been attacked by the fungus. ANY

ventive, elderberry leaves, or boards
cloth, etc.
Our own experience with remedies
and preventiyes has given us results
upon which definite and final conclu.
sions might DO based. It has seemed
to us, however. that the free applica.
ton of copperas and saItpeter water to
the soil around the plants has lessened
the attacks without giving US entirs
exemption. We have found, also that
sulphate of copper in any form
is not a remedy, but Il
effectual, must be used as a preventive,
In the same way as it is used for nil
dew and rot of grapes. The speeialia
of the Department Of Agricultue,
who, during the past season has visited
the localities along the Atlantic coast
where the disease seems to be most
epidemic, we believe, has come to sim.
liar conclusions. We hope that our
readers living where the disease Is
common annual occurrence, will give
the copper remedies, especially the
Bordeaux mixture, thorough trial,
and report results. But this is pre-.
ventive only, and should be applied
before the vines are attacked. -Popu.

IDENTIFYING THE FLAG.
Jackson, ". Va, Instead of Jackson, Mss, the
Place Of Capture.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Since writing
you the first paper about our Reiic-room, we
have learned the history of the flag mentioned
as taken from the Courthouse at Jackson,
Miss"
The flag belonged to the 22d Va. (rebel),
and was placed on the Courthouse at Jackson,
Courthouse, w. Va, while the rebel troops
occupied the town in 1853.
They were driven from the town, which was
afterward occupied by the 18th w. Va (Union),
and Musician NJ. c. Lathem (deceased) and
Private David Murphy, of Co. l, went to the
top of the Courthouse and took the flag down
-Lathem standing on Murphy's shoulders in
order to reach the flag. 1t was presented to
the State of Ohio. for the reason that there was
no place at that time in West Virginia to keep
it securely. Comrade Murphy came here and
identified the flag, and gave the best of refer
ences as to the truth of the history of the flag.
We respectfully ask you, through the col
umns of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, who the
commander was of the detachment" as it was
known, Of the Fourteenth Corps that fought at
the battle of Nashville in 1864; also, ask the
address of any relative or friend of ]. W. John
