England's Great Guns.

The British warship Tuunderer has
received the first four specimens of a
gun from which great things are ex-
pected. The original armament of the
Thunderer consisted of two 3S-ton and
two 35-ton muzzle-loading guns, and it
may be remembered that one of these
burst. in the course of practice, inside
the turret, with fatal results. 1t was
pretty generally believed that the
cause of the accident was that the gun
had been twice loaded before firing.
The new guns, two of which are mount
ed on each turret, are of l0-inch caliber
and 20 tons weight. The total length
is 26 feet 10 inches, the projectile
weighs 500 pounds, and the full charge
of powder is, as is now usual, just half
that weight. At range of ], 200 yards
it is calculated to pierce II inches of
wrought-iron plate.

MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE

The House Committee on State Affairs on
the 3D. reported IA yorably a bill changing
the method OF taxing the express companies
doing business In this State. Under the ex-
listing law the companies pay per cent of
their net earnings. and the new measure
seeks to change this TO 8 per cent. OF tho
gross carvings between Michigan points, and
would materially increase the amount at
present received by the State from this
source. favorable report was also made
on a bill prohibiting the taking OF fish from
any of the inland waters OF Michigan save
by hook and line. The bill provides that
its operation may be suspended I'm any
county by a two-thirds vote OF the board OF
supervisors there. The Senate passed to
third reading the bill granting municipal
suffrage t0women.
The report OF the investigating commit
tee on the State Public Board OF Control
was the special order In the Senate on the
4th The minority report was substituted
for the majority by vote OF II TO 20. The

but left the matter OF his retention with the
board without censure A Joint resolution

He Was n King.

King Kalakaua, or Calico" as he
was wont to be called for short, made
a decided newspaper hit" in coming
to the States to die. The swarthy
King of the Sandwich Islands was
gentleman, sab" though tough stories
are told of his infraction of many of
the commandments so strictly observed
by the editorial fraternity. When liv-
ing this very polite man cared nothing
for the abuse accorded him by the pa
pers, and now that he has departed to
n region where editors may find ii i'm
possible to meet him again, forever
more, he no doubt cares less than ever
what is said of him. While
it is by no means n subject
for any levity we cannot but regard the
dispatches from the Sandwich Islands
which speak of the universal mourn
ing" there as a tribe droll The facts
of the case are that outside of his i'm
mediate family there is no genuine
mourning for this mans death. Many
business man on the islands was
much more needed than Kalakaua.
Deep mourning" "irreparable loss"
etc, are wholly inappropriate phrases
In this case and simply serve to pad
out" news from the Pacific. Kalakaua,
like ell others of mortal birth, has paid
the debt of nature, and his unimpor-
tant history is now resolved into the
infinite azure of the past. Pullman

The Blind VIII Not See.

The trouble with the free-trader is
that he can see but one angle of an eco
nomic question. The whole tribe now
are puzzled at the markets. They said
that the Mckinley bill would inevitably
raise prices because the rate of duty on
some articles was raised. The markets
confound them. Tin plate is lower wire
nails are lower, and so are scores Of other
articles, than they were before the new
tariff bill was pa sed The frce-trader
sees but one thing; the duty is raised.
and therefore the article will be higher
in price. Though they have had over a
quarter of century of experience and
observation of the influence Of competi-
ton on prices, says the indianapolis
Journal, they refuse to note this fact.
They reckon well on this feature of
trade when their grocer asks them n
stiff price for q breakfast outfit and
eXemplfy it by going around the cor
ner, and buying of another at a less
price. But they never apply such COM
mon sense TO tariff discussion. Here is
lesson on this feature OF economies
from the London Financial Times, and

A Carp's Dinner.

Mirabile dictu! Strange things hap
pen in far-off places. II is not uncom-
mon in opening fish to find various and
divers sundries within their maws.
On Lake Superior the great lake trout,

seem always to be ready and willing to
accept any of such things as are
thrown from the cooks galley of the
steamers and sailing vessels which
pillow its pellucid waters. 1t is not
uncommon to find fork or spoon,
beef bones, potatoes, broken wine
glasses, corn cobs, and even bunch
of keys among treasure trove from
their omnivorous collection bags. But
now a carp comes TO the front as con-
tainer of the neatest outfit of anything
yet seen on the great unsalted sea.
On Christmas morning Capt. Nc
Cormick, an old salt and fish man, saw
two fine large German carp on sale in
Duluth. Struck with their appearan ce,
and thinking to please his friend the
Doctor, he purchased one and sent it
to him with the compliments of the
season. OF course the Doctor was
pleased with the gift and ordered it
tabled. You can imagine the aston
ishment of all when it was opened to
find within a silk-lined case containing
large meerschaum pipe and cigar
holder, all in good order, too. 1t was
genuine carp, imported from Ger
many, of the variety called papier
mdche. The Doctor has it carefully
preserved, and the smokers apparatus,
too, which he shows to his friends with
very great pleasure.-ForeSt and

An ImpressIye Spectacle.

The spectacle of q fire engine rush
ing through the streets at night with
two big horses galloping wildly and the
sparks flying allow and aloft is impress
sive even when the engines are of av-
erage size. The new three horse en-
gines make such clatter and uproar
that they drown the noise of the old
one A few nights since when the
wind was blowing a gale, an engine
with three big, powerful fire horses
harnessed abreast went through upper
Broadway at pace which suggested a
runaway at every plunge The horses
which look so solid, bony and muscular
in repose, galloped with the grace of
cats. They seemed to be fired with
life, and their massive hoofs beat
tattoo on the pavement which could be
heard quarter of mile away. A
train of sparks ran out from between
the wheels, and puffs of spark laden
smoke were blown high in the air.
The drivers arms were barred, and he
sawed on the reins with all his strength
in an apparent effort to get control of
the horses. 1t was perfect picture
of a runaway, but when the fre-plug
was reached a shout of command arose
from the driver which could be heard
above the din, and the three horses
braced their fore feet and almost slid
along in their efforts to stop at the
word. They were perfectly trained
and absolutely under the control of the
driver, but very few men would have
given nickel for the fireman's chances
behind the galloping horses when they
glanced at him.-NeW York World.

PARKERsBURG. Sept. 30.-[ Special J.
Lucy Mcclure, aged "a, handsome young
woman of excellent parentage but herself
somewhat romantic and daring, after elud-
ing the United States deputy marshals for
over year, has at last been captured, and
this morning was placed in the Kanawha
county Jail. She was arrested in Lincoln
county yesterday morning at a point far
distant from any railroad. She is charged
with being moonshiner.
More than year ago it was discovered
that she was selling liquor along the new
line of the Norfolk and Western Railroad,
and the United States authorities attempted
to capture her but every effort was trus-
trated. In addition to being young ath-
letlc woman of great nerve and presence,
bright and sharp, she was fine shot with
either rifle or revolver, and was the owner
of beautiful sorrel horse that many a time
saved her life. Whenever the marshals
were on her tack her f1eet-footed steed
bore her swiftly away. and at night she was
secreted by her friends.
Hundreds of gallons of death-dealing
liquor has she sold in the year during which
the marshals have hunted her. Recently
she found that the crowds along the new
road were becoming smaller and she gave
up the business and went to Lincoln county
thinking to be safe there but the marshals
still pursued her. and after a tiresome and
dangerous chase captured her The officers
got the drop on her and she surrendered. 1t
is said that she has made quite snug sum
of money by her illicit trade, and will make
a fight in the courts for her freedom.
