PLOWSHARES AND CANNON.
nous Gun, Has an Invention of More Peaceful Nature.

St. Louis, May 29-The newspaper clippings received from England show that the leading papers of that country are devoting considerable space to the Worlds fair. News items about the work in St. Louis are ire quent and the editorial comments are, almost without exception. favor able. Some of the English papers have had good deal to say of late about the Gatling blow to be exhibit ed at the Worlds fair. The Liverpool Mercury says in an editorial pub lished on May 13:
 "Dr. Gatling invented a gun. which is still distinguished by his name. Even the man who effects an improve ment in cannon does service to his generation, because as these instru- ments of destruction become more perfect they diminish the prospect of wars. But one may doubt if the pub lie would consider Dr. Gatling worthy of statue for mere eminence in the domain of artillery; they would rath- CT be willing to leave him to the sub stantial profits he might glean from his patents. It is noteworthy, how ever, that Dr. Gatling's genius is not limited in its exercise to the i'm provement of mitrailleurs. He has designed blow which, under the i'm pluse of gasoline motor. will do as much work as 20 men and so horses are capable of at present. This re- markable machine will be on show at the St. Louis Worlds fair. and we hope it will respond to all expecta- tions. Dr. Gatling would do well to continue his studies in this peaceful and utiltarian field; and his country men may then deem him worthy of honors after his death"
