How our Navy Used to Shoot.

The proficiency of American gunnery Is
perhaps best illustrated by the Constitu-
TONS first action with the Guerrero, in
which she was hulled but three times, while
her antagonist, to use the words OF her com
mander, was reduced to perfect wreck"
within forty minutes from the time the
Constitution began TO fire. This battle oc-

In her action with the Java, Dec. 20, 1872
Off the coast Of Brazil, the Constitution
was hulled but four times, and with theex-
ception Of her maintopsail yard she did
not lose a spar The Java, on the other
hand was totally dismasted" while her
huh was so shattered and pierced with shot
holes that it was impossible to get her to
the harbor of San Salvador, which was only
few hours sail.
In her action with the Cyane and levant
the forces opposed were: Constitution.
fifty-one guns, with l ,2S7 pounds of metal;
British, fifty-five guns, with SOS pounds OF
metal In this extraordinary action the
Constitution was hulled only thirteen
times, while the Cyane had every brace
and bowline cut away, cher main and
mizzenmasts left in "A lettering state, and
other principal spars wounded, several
shots in the hull, nine or ten between wind
ami water" The Levant also was roughly
handled
Before dismissing the subject of gunnery
we should take into consideration: l. The
inferior quality of American cannon and
shot .. The deficiency in weight of Amer
lean shot. g. The fact that in two Of the
four actions between single frigates the
English used French cannon and shot,
which were per cent heavier than their
nominal English notwithstanding.

people liable to the pains and aches of
rheumatism dread every change to damp

saparilla is not claimed to be positive spe
ciic for rheumatism, the remarkable cures
il has effected show that il may be taken
for this complaint with reasonable certain
ty of benefit. Its action in neutralzing
the acidity of the blood which is the cause
OF rheumatism, constitutes the secret of
the success of Hoods Sarsaparilla. II you

saparilla fair trial; il will do you good.

commend it. The Legislature ought to
/ have continued the office of Commissioner
OF Agricultural and Industrial Affairs.
/ TRANSPORTATION.
The transportation question is still an
unsettled problem, but its bearing upon
farm interests gives ii importance. No
doubt, high local rates have kept n any in
dustries out of the State; ana prevented
access TO good markets of many things the
farmers might otherwise raise with profit.
1t was hoped but hardly expected that the
railroad commissioners would arbitrate in
this matter. The Governor has appointed
farmer on this commission and it is hop
ed that some influence VIII be allowed him.
EDUCATION.
Regrets are expressed that the State has
vacillated so much in school matters. The
existing law had some defects but the new
law, while not yet fully understood is liza
BILE to leave matters someW hat complicated.
To secure the best results there should be
steady and fixed policy. IL is hoped that
something solid will be secured at the next
meeting of the legislature two years hence.
THE PRESS.
The power and influence OF the press can
scarcely be yer-estimated. Newspapers
bring into our homes the best thoughts OF
men and women who come in contact with
the world. Agricultural papers have de-
veloped remarkably and have done great
work for the Grange. The New England
Farmer and its grange edition, Our Grange
Homes are among the best publications
for the use of members that can be found.
MIR. Messer speaks Of the biennial cleo
ton to take place, and concludes by re-
minding them of the great responsibilities
that rest upon them, OF the unrest among
farmers. of the uncertainty hanging over
political parties, of the multiplication OF
farmers organizations, OF the position of
the grange as the unoompromising foe of
all forms of oppression and the champion
of farmers rights in their homes and in
the State. During all its history the order
has never swerved from its purpose to inn
prove the condition OF the agricultural
classes and to develope higher and better
manhood and womanhood.

The position is taken that there are no
abandoned or deserted farms, only unoc-
cupied or unsaleable farms. In respect to
this matter we are no worse than the other
New England States and even some OF the
Western States. Several causes which
there is not time to discuss have contribut-
ed to this, but the labor question is a trou-
blesome one. The price of labor is out Of
proportion to the price OF products. The
consequence is, farmers move into town
and their farms are carried on IN almost
any way for present revenue. The better
