Stanley's Machine Gun.

The prints of the English speaking
world have been full of stories about
the machine gun which Henry NJ.
Stanley carried with him in his last
desperate venture in Africa. And yet
it is an old story. Il occurs TO this
paper TO properly tell it: The weapon
so much talked about is a Maxim gun.
II was invepted by a citizen OF these
United States. He was poor and
sought encouragement from our gov
eminent He got none. He went to
England, where they saw its merits at
once and made him rich. So his gun
is under control of the British govern.
ment. At the time when he com.
menced his investigations the three
great machine guns Of the world were
the Calling, the Hotch Kiss and the
Nordenhoff-the first " o American,
ihe last English. There vas little diff
ference in their merits, ave that the
Hotchkiss was lighter aGd made for
ready transportation. Maxim, an
American boy, said 10 himself. there
are faults about these machine guns;
1. The turning Of the crank prevents
anything like an aim. 2. Often the
cartridges hang fire q little, but the
crank turns on, and they explode at
the wrong time. 3. Most of all, the
rapid firing heats the gun so that it is
useless and even dangerous in a few
seconds. The Maxim gun overcame
all these defects. Ii is automatic. II
needs no crank. Pull the trigger once
and il continues TO load and fire itself
80 long as the supply Of cartridges
lasts. Thepower OF 1.-The recoil" does
all the work, even TO shooting a jet Of
water along the barrel to keep it cool
il fires 700 shots in a minute, and all
that the operator has TO do is TO aim il.
This is the Stanley gun. You cannot
see il in the United States now, for il
is owned by the government of Great
Britain. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Wholesome Advice.

President Porter, of Yale, once
gave this sound and wholesome ad-
vice to the students: 'Young men,
you are the architects of your own
fortune; rely on your own strength
of body and soul. Take for your star
.self-reliance. Inscribe on your ban
ner, Luck is fool; Pluck is hero
Don't take too much advice, keep at
the helm and steer your own ship,
and remember that the art of COM
manding is to take fair share of the
work. Think well of yourself.
Strike out. Assume your own posi-
tion. Put potatoes in a cart, go over
rough road and the small ones will
60 to the bottom. Rise above the
envious and the, jealous. Fire above
the mark you intend to hit Energy,
invincible determination, with right
motive are the levers to move the
world. Don't swear Don't deceive.
Don't read novels. Don't marry un-
til you can support wife. Be civil.
Read the papers. Advertise your
business. Make money and do good
with it. Love your God and fellow
men. Love truth and virtue. Love
your country and obey its laws

Too MANY Rewards.

It is of prime Importance that Grim
inals be brought to the bar of justice.
A single evasion of the officers is
damaging to society and an evidence
of weakness in the government. To
accomplish the capture OF fugitive
from Justice no reasonable expense
should be spared, but there is such a
thing as making rewards burdensome.
We do not remember to have known
a time when the amount offered by
way of reward for the capture of con-
victs in this State, exceeded that now
offered.
For the capture OF those suspected
of crimes, we have number Of men
employed in each county in the State.
These men are paid for this, and it is
their duty to exhaust every means pos.
sible to capture fugitives. The man
who does not do this, fails to do his
duty, and should be promptly remov-
ed from Office. Is it not reflection
upon every sheriff, constable, trial
Justice, grand jury, and even the peo-
pie generally, that it is deemed neces-
sary whenever house is burned or
q horse stolen, to offer reward in
money for the capture Of the crimi-
nal? Why should officers expect ex-
ira pay for doing only their duty; or
vhy should others he asked to do the
work required of paid officers, and be
paid for it? If this thing continues,
we may expect sherifs and constables
TO refuse to a,yass~,htil rewards are
offered,-LaoSsns Adusrtaser.

Answer-Gentlemen Of the jury, at
the time the horse was stolen ]
was visiting my only brother for the
first time in twenty years. We were
quietly sitting by the comfortable Old
fireplace, engaged in a pleasant con-
verse of our boyhood days, when sud
denly his hireling, without any sign
of warning, rushed into the room in a
state of breathless excitement, and
with quivering lips announced that
the best horse had just been taken
from the barn, and that he had come
up the highway just in time to see
him ridden rapidly away.
Question-This was in the evening
as I understand it; what kind of 8
night was it, Mr.. Madison?
Answer-A few light and feecy
clouds fitted across the disk Of the
moon.
Question-What was done wher

Answer said to the hireling

supposed he was killed by the train.
Mr.. w. A. Hanna, of this county, was Sc
riously burned on the face recently while
working red hot piece of malleable iron.
He struck it very hard blow which caused
particles to fly in his face and Oh his body,
setting his clothing on fire, and burning
his eyes so severely that it is feared he will
lose one Of them. 1t was q singular accl-
dent.
Mr.. H T. Hanna, while out on deer
