The next war, If there ever be one,
is to be carried on by wholesale To
the hundreds of other implepents of
destruction which have recently been
invented, French genius has added
a piece of light artillery which has a
capacity for firing four charges in
fifteen minutes, each of which throws
$4,000 bullets over a surface of 90
BOO square yards at distance of two
miles. With such death-dealing ma
chimes as this, there seems little need
for the 100000 soldiers composing
The European armies, unless it be as
food for the enormous quantities of
powder and shot, which otherwise
might be wasted.

an agreement with the French am

The claims and counter-claims be-
tween Chilli and the United States
have given rise to more irritation in
chilli than in this country and it is
well for our commerce that steps
have been taken to get them out OF
the way. The selection of the presi-
lent OF the Swiss republic as arbi-
traitor and his appointment of the
Swiss minister at Washington as his
representative is good move toward
clearing off the claims. Possibly
when these are settled the Southern
republic will look with more friendly
ayes on the United States and be
more willing to throw its trade in
this direction,

A GREAT name among Arctic ex-
plorers was that of DR.. John Rae
whose death in London at an ad-
vanced age was lately announced.
DIR. Rae was a native of a northern
region, the Orkney islands, and be-
gan his active life as a surgeon in the
service of the Hudson's Bay company.
His first voyage of Arctic exploration
was made in two small boats in 1855
and was successful in its objects
DR.. Rae was at one time the reposi-
tory of all that was known of the
Arctic regions and was one of the
bravest of the brave men who have
endured so much to solve the prob

''Is THE YOUNG MAN ABsALOM sAFE?'
 There was temperance lecture at the Stepney Baptist church, last week Satur- day evening. It was held under the aus- pices of the w. c. T. U. Several musi- cal selections were first in order after which there was Scripture reading by Rev MT Jones. Rev MT Merwin then of- fered prayer and and Mrs E. M. Bots ford, the president of the local union in- troduced the speaker, George R. Scott of the New York Weekly Witness, one of the most popular and successful temper ance speakers of the day, to an interest ed and delighted audience. His theme was s'Is the young man Absalom safe," and he handled it in his happiest vein. MI Scott says he is not an orator, but it is our humble opinion that he is, and a good one, too. Of fine personal appear ance and pleasing address, one is at once instinctively attracted to him, and this feeling is only heightened as he progress ses with his address. He related many anecdotes and stories in his own inimita- ble style, but there is practical applica- tion to every one, sometimes so aptly ap- piled that the audience find it hard to tell
 where the story ends and the application
 begins. MT Scott is not one of your stately, formal speakers, but acts and speaks very much as he might if in his own parlor talking to few friends. It was great even6 for Stepney and we hope that we shall have the pleasure of hearing him again in the near future.-T*
