New ORLEANS, Aug. ga PScdyme
San Antonio special saws: The first
trials of the new rifed cannon adopted by
the army were held yesterday at Gonnal.
Six hundred shells we're fired and all ex-
ploded but one on the mark shot at.
The shots were fired from a mile and a
quarter and every shell hit the mark, so
skillful were the gunners and so deadly
accurate the runs. This ordnance is said
to be the best in the world. The barrels
are two feet longer than the old cannon.

Now New York's Wealthy Men Ride Home.
AT least 100 cabmen carr a living by
driving Wall street men up town after
the close of business hours. A large
proportion of these cabmen wait patient.
ly in Broad street for hours. Occasion
ally they will get half a dozen fares in a
day, but moro frequently they get one
or two. Most of them are veterans in
the business, and some of them have
their regular customers, whom they
serve from M years end to another.
In observing the class of men who ride
up town in cabs, one fact will strike the
observer forcibly, and that is that the
men who indulge in the luxury of a cab
after leaving their offices are not the rich
men of Wall street. To be sure, most OF
the cab patrons are men who make
money, but they are not notable fgurea
in the financial world, and their incomes
are not oppressively large.
Among the men who ignore the cabby's
plaintive plea, inc take either the Broad
way cars or the elevated trains, are
found nearly all of the noted million
aires. Jay Gould and his sons, George
and Edwin, invariably travel On the
Sixth avenue elevated road. Occasion
ally George walks the whole or part Of
the way home. c. P. Huntington reaches
his home in Park avenue via the Third
avenue elevated, and frequently he has
], Pierpont Morgan for a fellow pas
senger. D. o. Mills, hale and vigorous,
enjoys a stroll up Broadway. Some
times he rides in a street car and some.
times on the elevated. Mr.. Jesse Selig-
man and his brother James usually
patronize the elevated road, and Russell
Sage invariably does the same. Bluff

Sir William Gordon Cumming Has a
Brother in This Country.
BALTIMORE, Md, June 4.-Alestar
Penrose Gordon Cumming, brother of
Sir William Gordon Cumming, has lived
for the past twelve years in Carol county,
forty miles from Baltimore. He has re-
ceived letters from Sir William, in which
the lieutenant-colonelo of the Scots guard
declared his innocence of the alleged
baccarat cheating, and says he, Sir Will

end, aid Mr.. George Cumming, referring
to his brothers. alleged mode of play,
says Sir William has since early youth
been affected with slight touch of ST.
Vitus' dance, inherited from his mother,
which caused Sir William to exhibit a
nervousness of hands when playing at
cards. Sir William would invariably
toy with the chips. He thinks those
who accuse his brother of cheating, thus
deceived themselves. He speaks of the
Wilson's as extremely common people,
and of Berkely Lovett as 'cad'' Con-
cerning the signing of the famous con-
tract by Sir William, his brother SAYS
it was done solely that there would be
no expose of the Prince of Wales exor-

ModeIed on the american Act.

LONDON, June An an interview %
day Louis J. Jennings, NJ. P. for Stock
port formerly of the New York Times
stated that he had framed bill for in
PRODUCTION in parliament, intended to
exclude destitute foreigners from Great
Britain on the same lines as followed by
the United States. Mr.. Jennings, while
in America, studied the legislation on the
subject carefully, and thinks that Eng
land cannot do better than to adopt the
principles of the measures made neces-
sary in the United States by the exper-
renee of that country with pauper and
criminal aliens. He anticipates a great
deal of opposition to this measure. The
radicals will not assist him and the
government will not take action in the
premises. The tories will not antagonize
the attitude of the government. Never
theless, Mr.. Jennings believes that pub
lie feeling on the subject has reached
such point that he is justified in pro-
ceeding independently in the advocacy
of the bill, in the hope that the discus
sion it will arouse may lead to pressure
upon the government, so that they will
eventually lend their countenance,
more or less directly, to the proposed
enactment.

in the new American method of execu-
ton by electricity, and has caused in
srructions to be sent for full reports as
to its methods of working SO far as OBJ
tainable. Many Russians are inclined
to consider deca pitation as too bar
barious method of execution, and the
consequence of this sentiment is favor
able to the criminal classes. Reindel,
the headsman, has been making personal
inquiries on the subject of electrical

satisfy his own curiosity is not known

very strong, and there is little probabil-
ity of such Il serious change in. the crimi-
nal laws as to do away with the existing
form of death penalty.

arrested some few weeks ago for burglary
confessed his guilt yesterday before the
superior court, and was to be sentenced
today. This morning, when Jailer Nc
Cauley took Mayors breakfast to him in
the county Jail he found the prisoner
gone. a bent iron rod showing the place
of Mayors exit. Mayer had been locked
up since his last escape in one of the
Pauly steel cells, and how he escaped is
mystery. The most plausibly theory,
and one generally credited now is that
when McCaulsy went to gather up the
supper dishes, Mayer slipped out of the
cell and went into hiding, then, under
cover of night, filed his way out to
liberty, He called on his wife and told
her story which is about as above mar

CALLING ON THE NATIONAL BANKS.

Replenish the Treasury Surplus.


Replenish the Treasury Surplus.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The net surplus
in the treasury today is So 900 900, a
smaller surplus than has been in the
treasury in the memory of the Oldest Off
clals. To increase this surplus, Secre-
tary Foster has called in 50, ,O0O, 900 of de-.
positories from national banks. The
call reads: "The secretary of the treas
ury has this day called upon a number
of national bank repositories to transfer
to the sub-treasury a portion of the
amount of public moneys held by them
and not needed for the transaction of
public business These banks, which
are mostly what is known as surplus
banks, had been notified by the late Sec
retary Window and had previously trans
ferred the amount of two calls made by
him. The amount to be transferred on
or before June 80, 1861, under this call :.
is about s3,00G,000. 1t is probable that
other calls will be made from time to
time on these national bank repositories
until their holdings shall have been re =
duced to about the amount needed to b e
kept therein for the proper transaction of

The other day lady noted for her at
tainments in housekeeping showed me
some lamp burners that had been used for
many months, yet were as bright as if just
purchased. In response to my inquiries as
to the means used FOR keeping them SO
bright, she told me that when she baked
beans she saved the water in which they
were boiled and put the burners in that,
boiling them until clean; then they were
rinsed in boiling water and dried.
When stoves are taken down in the
spring each should have all of its pieces
put together, and those that are small
enough placed inside of the stove; large
pieces may be attached by wire. If
this is done there is no searching or con-
fusion in autumn.
