Puritans and Pilgrims.

Speaking Of the difference between purt-
tan and Pilgrim he said In conclusion.
1.-THE Puritan differs from the Pllortr,
as the Hebrew prophet from st. Jobn
Abraham, ready to sacrifice Isaac az Inc
command of God; jeremiah uiteriny
his terrible prophesy of the downfau ~
Judea; Brutus, condemning his son 10
death; Brutus Staying his friend for the
liberty Of Rome; Aristides, going into
exile, are his spiritual progenitors ne
Stonewan Jackson was Of his spiritual
kindred. You will find him wherever men
are sacrificing life. or the delights OF me-
on the altar of duty.
But the Pilgrim Is of a gentler and
loveller nature. He, too, If Duty or
Honor CALL Is ready for the supreme
sacrifice. But his weapon Is love ana
not hate His spirit is the spirit of Jonn,
the beloved disciple, the spirit Of Grace.
Mercy and Peace His memory Is as
sweet and fragrant as the perfume OF the
little flower which gave. its name to the
ship which brought him over
$50. Mr. President responding to your
sentiment l give you mine:
South Carolina and Massachusetts, the
Presbyterian and the Puritan, the Hue
genot ana tine Pilgrim; however separated
by distance or by difference they win al
last surely be drawn together By a com
mon love Of liberty and a common faith in
God"
Messrs. McLaurin and Cumming how
ever, took occasion 20 declare In more or
less pronounced terms against the theory
OF expansion Just now occupying so much
public attention.

Our G. eatest Gun.

The United States Government has
under construction one of the largest
If not the very largest-cannons in
the world. The castings are made at
the South Bethlehem, Pa, works,
Some of them have already been sent
to the finishing department at Water
vilet, N. Y, but it will take several
months to turn the parts down to the
exact dimensions of the gun and to as
semble them.
What is involved in the handling of
this great 16-inch gun can be judged
approximately by the figures telling
its dimensions and cost. 1t will be so
feet long and will weigh 2S4 ,4s0 pounds.
The castings from which it will be made
will weigh more than 100000 pounds.
The cost of a Pinch gun before as
sembling is nearly $4,000, and the cost
of the 16-inch gun will be twice as
much. The cost of putting together
one of the 12-inch guns is $4,000. No
one knows yet what the cost of assem-
bling the 16-inch gun will be, but it
will be great deal more than $4,000.
1t has cost the government more than
a third of million dollars for the spe-
cial machinery to handle the castings
for this big gun.
1t has been figured that with the cost
Of the 12-inch gun at $4,000, the cost
of the charge of powder for it GEO
pounds) at S1i5, the cost of the 1000
pound armor- piercing projectile at $3.50
and the amount of wear and tear fig
ured at not less than 500 for each shot
more than 5000 is the cost of each shot
fired. The cost of firing the 16-inch
gun will be nearly $1,000.
Where the 16 inch gun will be placed
when it is completed has not been de
termined so far as anyone outside the
department can know. 1t is thought,
however, that the big gun will be
placed near New York 1t will be car
ried on three railroad cars, built for
the purpose, and it will have to move
very slowly, because of the danger at |
curves and in tunnels. 1t will be mount |
cd on disappearing gun carriage and
twenty trained artillerymen will be as
signed to work it.

deaths or weddings to record" This
might be taken as reflection on pros,
pective brides. Another paragraph
reads, "Messrs. Vansicklin & Wheaton
have saved about 120 per cent of early
Landing which so far is success" One
should think so. 1t is to be regretted
that the correspondent did not tell
what per cent was lost. No doubt Ed
itor Lockwood himself enjoys these
little lessons as much as any one else.
Then the novice with the pen tries to
be "real funny" and fails misrably. He
says, sour jovial friend and neighbor,
Mr.. W. w. Campbell is making prepar-
ations to do his assessment work and
then prospect for rich gold mine or
wife and forget which it was, but re-
member there was rich in it anyway"
He concludes with "Hoping to have
more news in the future, abide in pa
tience." Whether he wishes us to do
the hoping or abiding is not clear, but
we will take chances on both.

Mr.. Edward Roberts, of Boston, re-
turned from Silver City, Idaho, last
night where in company with H. S. Nc
Cornick he mads an examination of the
Tip Top group and neighboring prop
critics. Of the Tip Top, of which Mr..
McCornic kis one of the owners and for
the requirement of which the vi sitor
and his associates are now negotiating,
Mr.. Roberts was not inclined to talk
until his report is submitted. That it
will be favorable, however, may be
easily assumed.
During their absence the gentlemen
visited the property of the Trade Dol
lar Mining company that last year dis
tributed dividends amounting to S471,
900, and which is now paying at the
rate of 100000 a year, with but ten
stamps dropping. The mill is running
day and night on fine quality of ore,
the company shipping one car of con-
centrates that Melted it no less than
$4,000. He regards it as one of the
best propositions he has ever examined.
Extensive operations are being pros
ecuted at the Black Jack, that prior to
the year 1875 produced ore of the value
of 81, 10000, and of Florida mountain,
on which these bonanzas are located. |
Mr.. Roberts says, 'if a tenth of the
money poured into Cripple Creek had
gone into Florida mountain its produc-
ton would be nearer 100000 than the
million or so of to-day. Development
Is generally by tunnel, the cost of driv
ing which is very small, and which cut
the lodges at from 300 to 800 feet in
depth. Indeed the district is one of
wonderful possibilities"
While in the locality Mr.. Roberts
learned that at the DeLamar mine the
new cyanide plant was about com
pleted and would be started up in a few
days. He will leave for Mercur this
morning where he will remain several
days, and joining Mr.. Miller, another
owner in the Tip Top, will continue on
his way East.
Although it was impossible to learn
the amount involved in the effort to Sc
cure the Tip Top, it is understood that
the figure is big one. Ii

Ame,i lean Securities Abroad.

The sales of American securities have
been, according to London advices,
very large abroad of late. If this state
of things holds, there will be an in
creasing influx of British gold into this
market. This demonstrates the faith
abroad in the stability of our credit,
There is another point of faith for
which the people not only of this but
foreign countries have good grounds
for credence, and that is belief in the
efficacy of Hostetter.s Stomach Bitters
for inorganic maladies which affect the
stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys and
nerves. Dyspepsia, billiousness, con-
stipation and rheumatism are con-
quered by it. 1t hastens GONZALES

and sensation of physical comfort
