Landslide Exposes Coins.

A large find of old coins, which have
lain hidden underground for over
1850 years-since the time of the Three
Kingdoms-was accidentally brought
to light last May in the Gu han d strict,
in Northwest Hupeh, during a heavy
downpour of rain, says a Sha ne h al
newspaper. On the 4th of May con-
siderable tract of land washed off from
hill, and the landslip exposed the
hidden treasure. The villagers in the
neighborhood hocked to The spot to
help themselves to it, and the news to
the strange discovery was at once
telegraphed his excellency Chang
Oh 'ntung, who ordered the local Off
cials to gather the coins with all dis

1t is said that the quantity gathered
represents as many as 1000, 600 strings,
and the coins are unusually large, re-
sembliug in size those of the asien-
flung reign about forty-ive years ago.
of the present dynasty. The Viceroy

THE last little tilt the people OF the
United States had with Spain was in
1910, and that was settled by a hand
full of Americans living in the vicinity
of Bayou Sara, La, who marched an
armed force against the Spanish fort
at Baton Rouge and captured it. Up
T., that time Spain claimed and occu-
pied what are now the Louisiana
marshes of Feliciana, East Baton
R,uoe. St. Helena and ST. Tammany,
all of which were then known as the
district of West Florida, and which
are still referred to as the 'Florioa
parishes" Spain was then too busy
fighting Napoleon l to attempt to re-
take the parishes, and the inha bitan' .
thereof applied to President Madison
for annexation of the state of West
Florida. Madison replied that the ter.
ritory already belonged to the United
States by purchase from France, and
ordered Governor Claiborne, of Louis
lana, to take possession of it, which
he did without opposition. But for the
success of this local revolt Uncle Sam
would then have been compelled to
kick Spain off portion of the terrific
nv we purchased from France seven
years prior to its capture by a handful

Hear it Preach.

The teaching of the moral and COM
mercial value of honest money, OF the
wrong guinness of taxation for the pur-
poses of plumber, and of the sauctity
and sovereignty of the law, is some
thing of which the south stands in
need, and.the Weekly has insisted on
this need, although it is conscious that
very often the kindly advice of friend
is more quickly and bitterly resented
than the insults of an enemy. The
best public opinion of the south, than
which there is none better, is in need
of reinforcement. 1t is not so in
sistent, so much in evidence, so angry,
as the best public sentiment OF the
north-at least we do not hear as much
net DIS centres of light and leading. 1t
is through the teaching of its youth
that the south will eventually resume
It's place in the politics of the country.
1t is through the influence of schools
and colleges of the best character that
southern men who are now aSSalllng
the standard of value and practicing
violence will be succeeded by new
generation that will know that wealth
and prosperity can be attained only
through honest industry and with
honest money, and that community
which permits passion to take place of
law, and murder to usurp the functions
of courts of justice, not only kills the
savage victims of its wrath, but the
very seed of personal liberty, self
government, and civilization in the
community itself. People who not
only lynch but defend the practice of
lynching are in need of regeneration.
They are in danger of losing all power
of self-restraint. They are guilty of
treason against the only majesty that
we recognize in this republic-the
majesty of the law. And it is only be-
cause of the rise of the boisterous and
ignorant damagogue to the high places
once occupied by the best training and
intellect and the most unblemished
honor of the south, but because the
law and the courts are de6ed and de-
spised with the consent of whole COM
munities, that we have said, and we
repeat, that the south is in especial
need of the enlighten; ng and anne
liorating influences of educatiOn.-Har-

A Remarkable Cure of Chronic

In 1862, when 1 served my country

great deal of trou BILE ever since l have
tried dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago friend

Remedy, and after that l bought and
took so cent bottle; and now l can
say that 1 am entirely cured. 1 cannot

VISITED THE EDITOR.
The Racket Caused by Real Pleasant
Little bit of Pleasantly.

The editor of Bisbee Tyre Qiar) is
in the hospital: aud thereby hangs a
tale. He Inadvertently allowed to APP
pc ar in mis- highly esteemed paper the
following apparently harmless item:
Bob Tate is now running the top
car at the mine. We state this for the
benefit of his lady friends"
And what the consequence was is
best told in we editors own simple,
narrative of the emute-a5 it were.
I'VE were standing at the bar of the
Free Coinage talking with the bar
tender upon the political outlook of
North and South Carolina, when the
big listed bully entered. Without any
warning as to his intentions he struck
the editor of this paper upon the right
cheek. which owing to long contact
with the cold, cold world, and it's use
upon various papers, suffered little
damage. Before we could turn to him
the other cheek he rushed upon us like
the big bravo that he was and lunged
at our head again, which had he
struck, the writer would undoubtedly
have seen myriads of the heavenly
bodies and the golden nuggets of the
Klondike would have danced before
his vision. Before he could again use
his mass of Drawn we clasped him in
our arms like a long lost friend and
buried our head upon his bosom. He
liked not our emotions, and when we
attempted to throw ourselves upon him
he clutched us by our new white l59
collar, just from the able hands of the
Warren Steam Laundry, and attempted
to soil its colors. We retaliated by
thrusting both hands upon his brawny
neck and closed our hngf rs upon it.
1--WE engaged in a wrestling match
which would have made the Grecian
athletes of old shout with Joy, but be-
fore we could be crowned with the
myrtle, we rolled hither and thither
until the tonsorial parlOrs of Messr=.
Snow & Co., were in danger of destruc-
ton. Ere the work of breaking up the
house of business was completed We
were parted by friends, who thought
through our exhuberapce of joy at our
meeting our hearts would break.
1--WE are always glad to meet our
friends (?) and would love to have all
the aforesaid call and see us at our Of

open to them and we will escort them

THE New York journal and the St.
Louis Republic have been forced to
admit that the wave of prosperity is
rolling over US. They of course claim
other reasons than the Dingley tariff,
but the fact stares them in the face
that hard times came with the Wilson
bill and good times returned with the
passing of the Dingley bill. The free
silver question is settled by the decline
of silver and the advance OF wheat
while the tariff question is settled by
the return of prosperity under pro-

BIGGEST AMERICAN GUN NJ AIDE.
Sends Shell Through ~ Inches of
Steel at Three Quarters of a Mile.


Such gun is being built at the Gov
ernmeLt Arsenal at Watervliet, N. Y. ,
as this country has never seen, and the
most imaginative of warriors half a
century ago would never have dream
ed of.
When this weapon of death and de-
struction, the enormous forgings for
which are cow being put together, IS
finished, three years from now, it will
weigh 100000 pounds, and will hurl a
shell over twenty miles. 1t will be
mounted, without doubt, in one of the
forts-Hamilton or Wadsworth-at the
en- rance to New York Harbor, and
woe betide the hostile ship which shall
venture to approach wi hin range OF
this gigantic watch dog.
General Flagler, chief of ordnance,
says the new gun will be worth in most
emplacements dozen twelve-inch
more damage than a whole series of
projectiles fired Fl ON the small r guns.
The new destroyer is to be 1867 feet
long: the bore 80 feet. The bore will
be Is inches, the maximum diameter
of the gun at the breech 81 inches, at
the muzzle 27. The total capacity of
the bore is 12l ,4S7 cubic inches.
The powder chamber will have a
capacity of 10000 cubic inches. The
charge will weigh 1000 pounds. II
fired from Fort Wadsworth it would
plump 1870 steel projectile down in
the village of Yonkers. The velocity
of the shot as it bids good-by to the big
gun would be 1875 feet a second, near
~ as swift again as sound. With this
force the shell could be driven through
33 inches of steel at the guns muzzle,
and 27.5 inches at a distance OF $500
feet.
When this mammoth gun is completed
it will be tested on the grounds at Sand y
Hook, and then, if satisfactory, will be
mounted where it will do the most
good in the protection of American
goods and chattels against a foreign
foe.
For many years efforts have been
made 10 secure the construction OF a
gun on these gigantic plans, but it was
not until year ago that permission
was obtained. 1t is conceded now that
the increased power of modern naval
weapons makes imperative for coast
defense the possession of guns which
will carry further than the greatest
possible range of anything which can
be used in the armament of war yes
