or executives to do this. that and the
other thing, no greater mistakes could
be made. or greater indignity offered

Destruction.
The new French gun about which
there appears to be so much mystery
has been tried at the manoeuvres in
Chalons, and a description Of it will
be interesting. although the French
press has been kept silent about 1t.
The model is known as No rs, and is
constructed on the Deport system,
which has already been largely adopt
ed on the French men-of-war. The
gun Is made OF nickelled steel, and it
closes with a screw. The gun car
riage has first a hydro-pneumatic
brake, and second, powerful spring.
Both act simultaneously, and affect
the recoil in such a manner that once
the end Of the carriage has been fix
ed into the ground the piece remains
absolutely stationary and stable
Two men are required to serve each
piece, and they are seated on each
side of the gun; the left hand man
charges and closes the gun, the one
on the right points and fires. They
are protected by sheets of steel fixed
on each side Of the mouthpiece. and

travelling at the rate Of over 500 feet
(600 metres) per second. The gun
is mounted on a cradle capable of
being turned around a vertical axis.
This enables not only a change in po-
sition for pointing without touching
the butt, but for quick fire with shrap-
nels the position can be gradually
changed, similar to that of the Max.
Inns; and thus one single IS gun can
be made to cover field equal to 1852
acres 1.-TWO heciares). Fifteen shots
can be fired per minute, but at Chalons
"a blank shots were made per minute.
Naturally there is less recoil with
blank shot than with normal charge

Of the chest is also protected by a

are used: namely, (1) a melinite shell
for stationary objects, walls, houses,

at the back. This shell, which con.
tains $50 to 800 balls, in exploding at
Chalons set up such thick clouds Of
smoke as effectually to prevent the

DiscOuraging Crop Outlook.

From all parts of the State comes
the distressing news that the crop out
look was never so bad. 1t is to be
hoped that, viewed while the rains are
doing so much damage, reports are ex-
aggerated; that when the sun comes
out and the fields are viewed under
more favorable conditions that ros-
ier picture may be painted. But be
that as it may, the condition is bad
enough, in all conscience, as it stands,
and it seems to be general, confined to
no particular section of the State.
The following editorial paragraphs
from the Southern Farm Gazette, of
Starkville, contain statements and
suggestions on the situation which
cannot fail to interest, as they will
doubtless be read also with profit:
"One Mississippi editor rejoices in
the bad weather of the past month,
saying it will cut off the cotton yield,
and thus be blessing, and make big
crop of corn, as rainy weather always
does. If our editorial friend has been
beyond his back yard he would have
seen that the corn is the very crop
ruined, and then we fail to see how
the cutting off of the cotton will be a
blessing if the crop everywhere in the
world was cut off in equal degree.
Such is hardly the case. Our crop is
cut down, and other sections may keep
the price down by making large yields.
Ii there is blessing in such weather
as we have had, it is indeed very much
disguised.
weather conditions have been such
in this section that the corn crop will
be almost total failure. 1t has sim
ply drowned out until it. is so little,
yellow aud hard that it can never re.
cover. Cotton is badly in the grass,
and much of it will never be cleaned
out. Much has been completely de-
stroyed by overflow and by crawfish.

ten years, and the same discouraging

of THE LEADER contain something rel
ative to its prosperity and advance
ment Trade never was so brisk at
this season of the year. Every Satur-
day our streets are thronged with
crowds, both black and white, who
come on business as rule. On Bar
gain Sales Days, which have become
the most popular of all business days
among us, stranger would think
there was circus in town. The re-
cent special days of John McGrath IL
Sons, l.. Cohn & Bros, and K. L.
Scherck have given satisfaction to the
purchaser, as we'll as to the seller, and
have stimulated the market here and
elsewhere. New Orleans could not
boast of better bargains than are offer
ed in our city.
Houses, too numerous to mention,
have been constantly going up, and
yet the demand is greater than the
supply. And it is almost the rule to
erect two-story residences, with water
works, electric lights and the latest
modern conveniences. Houses that
fifteen years ago were "the handsom-
est in town." are now relegated to the
rear with other things antiquated,
awaiting the touch of the spirit OF
progress to transform them into up-to-
date mansions, that in their turn will
be out-of- date while the ceaseless de-
cades roll. 1t is consoling to reflect
that SIN due time our sons will take
their place, and for themselves discov-
cries make greater than ours, perhaps,
