THE LARGEST STEAM HAMMER.
1t Strikes 125-Ton Blows and Is for Forg-

1t Strikes 125-Ton Blows and Is for Forg-
ing Armor Plates. .-
The greatest steam-hammer in the world
constructed at the Bethlehem Iron Com.
pany's works for the manufacture of armou,
plate, is now completed. The giant was
designed after the hammer of Schneider &
Co., of LIE Creusot, France, which, next to
this one, is the second largest in the world.
1t has a stroke of 125 tons, while the
Schneider hammer is only capable of strik-
ing a 100-ton blow. The hammer is used for
forging ingots into armour plates. These
ingots are cast of metal weighing from 100
to $50 tons, and by this stupendous piece of
mechanism will be forged into the desired
size by 12j-ton blows

WILL SIMPLIFY MATTERS.

the Opln1oh OF Hon, Horace PIunkett, q
Member of Parliament.
ST PAUL, Oct. THE Earl of Fingal,
member of the English House of Lords,
and Hon. Horace Plunket, member of Par
Lament, are in the city looking into the
condition of Irishmen who have immigrated
to this country for the information of the
British Government.
Mr.. Plunkett, referring to Mr.. Parnell's
death, after saying that he was the. best
friend that Ireland eve: had and the ablest,
said: "His death, coming at this time,
almost at the same time as that of William
Henry Smith, the leader of the other side,
will tend to simplify matters in Irish poll
tics immeasurably, and will heal the breach
between the two factions"

CANADIAN OPINION,
1t Seems to Be Unanimous That the Great
Schism Will Be Healed

MONTREAL, Oct. THE death Of Mr..
Parnell created profound sensation here,
where there are two parties, one favorable
and the other hostile to the dead statesman,
but now that hostility is forgotten and only
expressions of sympathy are heard. A can
vass ofopinions among prominent Irishmen
elicits the belief that the hands of Gladstone
are strengthened and that the death of Par
nell will do much to heal the schisms of the
party.
A dispatch from Toronto says: SYM
pathizers with the cause of home rule, ip-
cluding alike both wings of the former ma
tional party, freely admit that Mr.. Parnell's
death will more quickly than anything else

MR.. PHELPS At BENNINGTON.

The Grafton delivered by Hon. Edward
J. Phelps at the Bennington celebration
seems to have been quite worthy of the
occasion and of the orator. Although
not as we'll known in this State as his
merits deserved before his appointment
as minister to the court of st. James, Mr.
Phelps possesses intellectual powers
which, in their breadth and keenness,
qualify him to take very high rank
among the public men of New England.
During his diplomatic service he won
the esteem and admiration of our English
cousins by the grace, dignity and appro-
priateness of his addresses on a number
of notable occasions. His Bennington
address treated largely of historical sub
jects, but afforded him an opportunity to
indicate how with the original settlers of
Vermont the national feeling, when
crisis came, rose superior to all local con-
sideraUions. Before the war of the revo-
luton broke out the settlers in Vermont
were fighting their neighbors in New
York, who claimed political jurisdiction
over them-a fight carried on not only by
legal processes, but also with powder and
shot. 1t might have been supposed that
these contentious would make loyal CO.
operation impossible, and yet, as Mr..
Phelps points out, when the first guns of
the revolution were fired these settlers
threw aside for the time being their local
grievances and joined in hearty accord
with their New York enemies in the work
of building up the American nation. The
spirit of union against foreign encroach-
ments which characterized this first
movement of the American people is one
deserving of all the commentator that
can be given to it.-Boston Herald.

AT HIS FIRST BATTLE.

GLOW did you feel in your first bat
tle?' was asked of a veteran who now,
with the record of forty battles behind
him, is neither pensioner nor an Office
holder.
"Well, Twas frightened, suppose"
replied the soldier.
Tell us about it"
He was by no means anxious for the
task, but they urged him, and he began
81 was with the army of General
Thomas there at Chattanooga in the fall
of 1868. when Gen. Bragg, with a spleu-
did army, had us cornered and was slow
ly starving us to death. When Grant
came we were told there would be plenty
of fighting. We were in no condition
to fight, for we were in rags and many
were sick with scurvy. There was no
ammunition, and we did not possess a
single position from which the enemy
could be attacked. 1t seems that as
Grant was coming forward he tele-
graphed back for ammunition, clothing
and small rations, and the very day of
his arrival these were issued to the army.
You can have no idea how it strength
ened and encouraged us. Where we had
been weak and dispirited before, we
were now active and full of energy, and
all we asked was to be led against the
enemy.
'But, really, when orders came to ad-
vance, confess the courage was cooled
very noticeably. One thing was that the
movement began in the night. Along in
the evening our company was ordered to
report for rations, and the first hint we
had of how long the fight would last
was when we received ten days rations.
Ammunition was next issued and we
were kept moving. 1 well recollect that
/ had left waterproof blanket behind,
intending to get it before we finally
started. But as soon as the carriages
were drawn, and without breaking
ranks, they marched us straight down to
the river. Many a night afterward l
wanted that blanket, but never saw it
again. Down the river and along the
rocky bank, over a road that was diff
cult enough in day time, we went tumbl-
ing along.
Presently, as l rose to the top of a
little hill, saw lot of boats just ahead
at the rivers edge, and the soldiers
climbing in them. There was a jam of
men before me. They could not embark
rapidly enough. Some were in the
water wading and trying to Chamber first
into one boat and then into another.
Some lost their guns. After awhile we
were afoat and drifting down, crowd
ing together-the whole river full No
one knew where we were going.
'tSome one SAID: 1T is getting day
light The east was becoming red.
While l watched it, cramped,
half kneeling in the boat, heard some
firing just above on the left bank, and
there was a rush of the boats ahead and
loosening of oars. Pretty soon every
one was along the shore and climbing
up the bank. Not even the company
officers knew where we were going. But
there we were, all ashore, and forming
in something like line, but irregular
and crowded, and with companies and
companies that never had seen before.
No one heard a command, but yet we
were going forward. Just before sun
rise l passed a group of rebels. There

VERMONTS GREAT DAY.

In all its features, the observance of the
one hundredth anniversary of the State
of Vermont, and the dedication of the
battle monument at Bennington, yester-
day, was an imposing demonstration The
day appealed strongly to the patriotism of
the people of Vermont and their thous-
ands of visitors. The distinguished gem
tlemen whose privilege it was to take
conspicuous parts in the cere monies of
dedication did justice totheir high theme,
and their addresses were of rare excel
lence and rare interest. The Grafton of
the Hon. E. J. Phelps displayed the true
scholarly and philosophic spirit as well
as the most fervent patriotism, and be-
sides admirably serving the need of the
hour, possesses permanent literary value.
There has never been a nobler tribute to
the grand old Green Mountain State than
that which Mr.. Phelps pronounces. Pres
ident Harrison, as he always does, said,
with perfect felicity of diction, just what
ought to be said. His euloGy of Vermont
was fervid, but just, and all the more
gratifying to his hearers from the fact
that it came from one who fills, and, as
Mr.. Phelps remarked, fills so well, the
proud office of Chief Magistrate of the
nation. The State of Vermont and the
citizens of Bennington particularly, have
good reason to be satisfied with the man.

NOTES.

Our esteemed contemporaries down
in Lawrence are chuckling because "a
Haverhill domestic took bath and soon
after went violently insane" There is
little danger of such an affection befall-
ing anybody in Lawrence.
While flats are becoming increasingly
popular in France among people of
moderate means, people in correspond
ing position in Germany are as
anxious to live in houses of their own,
and company has just been formed in
Berlin to enable them to do so.
Sixty years ago only one public bank
ing company existed in London, and at
the Bank of England private accounts
were at that time opened fdlSiy, and
with the greatest difficulty.
