The ages have tlioir names historic
and prehistoric. There are the stone
age, the bronze, age, the iron age, the
golden age and the dark ages, but the
age in which we live may well be called
the age of invention. Never before in
the history of the world has there been
such an era of wonderf ul inventions and
contrivances for the use and comfort
and conveniences of mankind. And it
does not stop or even call ... a halt.
Every year brings new surprises, and
now when we hear of some bold, in
comprehensible proposition we do not
dare to sav it is-impossible. There is
no advance in literature or painting or
architecture or oratory or many other
arts that require the highest order qf
intellect. Indeed, it is to be lamented
that we no more have a Shakespeare. or
Milton or Goldsmith or Burns or Tom
Moore; no more a Raphael or Michael
Angelo; no more a Cicero or a Burke
or Webster. Ripe scholarship has de
clined, and this generation has neither
time nor taste for it, but " in e very
thing that lessens labor arid cheapens
the necessaries and comforts of life
we are far ahead of our ancestors.
I was ruminating about this because
I happened to come across an old time
rifle with a flint Ipck and I handled it
with reverence, for it had tired and
fought in Jackson's war at New Or
leans, and was still preserved and
honored by the great grandsons of the
soldier,who loaded it behind the cot
ton bales and waited to see the whites
of the enemies' eyes before he pulled
the triffsrer. The name of this rifle
was etched in a rude way. upon the
barrel, and it was "Betsy." All of them
had names in the olden times femi
nine names, such as Betsy or Betsy
Jane or Betsy Ann or Susan or Polly
or Mandy or Kalline. Many of these
old time rifles are still in use, but the
old flint lock has gone. Such a lock is
a curiosity now. A town-raised boy
has never seen one. The hardware
stores have eeased to keep them. The
gunmakers have ceased to make them,
and yet these are the locks that did
the work in the revolution and the
last British war and the Mexican war
and made many an Indian bite the
dust.many a deer and turkey give
their meat to the hunter. 1 used to
sell these locks when, I was a boy
clerk in . mv father's store, and could
talk fluently about the hammer and
frizzen and roller and tumbler and the
dog and the pan. We solely flints by
the score flints that were warranted
sure fire. The Hint was made fast be
tween two clamps in the cock or ham
mer, and when the hammer was pro
jected forward against the steel friz
zen the contact make the sparks to
fall and they fell into the little pow
der pan that was attached to the touch
hole. If the touch hole was stopped.
up there was a "flash in the pan"' and
that was all. If the flint did not make
a spark, then the rule was to "pick
your flint aud try it again." The
powder in the little pan was called
the priming, and if it was riot securely
covered by the frizzen &nd got wet in
the rain, it would not iomittv arid hence
the soldier was enjoined to "keep your j
powder dry." These old time expres- ;
sions are still familiar and historic. 1
Sometimes we still hear a backwoods
man say "now cut your patchin," :
which is an expression of defiance and
comes from the manner of loading a
rifle. A small piece ot' cloth or rag
was laid over the muzzle, the bul
let laid .upon it and pressed down
into the bore just enouia to clear the
knife, and then the cloth or patch
was cut oil smooth with the top of the
gun. The patchia had to be just ,
thick enough to make the bullet go
down tight when forced by the ram- j
rod ; sometimes it went too tight and '
would get dodged . hard and fast and ;
had to bo blown put by putting pow
der in the touch hole. T he bullets
were all molded at home, and if the
necks w-ere not cut oft very smooth, it
maie them deflect a little and miss the
gunner s aim. 1111s deucction was
very bad - until rifles were invented.:
Rifles mean little spirsl grooves ex
tending from the muzzle to the breech.
They give the ball a rotary motion be- ,
fore it leaves the gun and keeps that j
motion in its flight, and even if a ball j
is a little one-sided or irregular, it will
go straight to the mark. The gun i
took its name from the frrooves that j
were called rifles. For years and ye?rs ,
a man by the name of Rogers made f
rifles in Augusta, Ga., and they were,
celebrated all over the south. The !
equipments of a rifleman were many j
and peculiar, and were all home made. !
His powder-horn was a cow's horn, j
that had been boiled and scraped and
filed until it was thin and clear and 1
translucent. The charger was a small
tube, made of a turkey bone or 'pos- !
sum leg or boar's tusk, arid held just !
a charge for the gun. A charge of j
powder is just enough to hide a bullet ;
when in the open palm of the hand, i
The charger held that much and had a
lip on one side. The powder was
earefullv poured in the gun, and
then the patchin was next in order. 1
Now put on your'ball and cut your
patchin and ram her home. . Then the
frizzen was thrown back with the
thumb, and the touch-hole and the pan
were filled from the powder-horn,
while the gunner held the stopper be
tween hjs teeth. The frizzen was shut
down, and Betsy Jane was loaded.
The shot-pouch was made of deer skin
or con skin, and ornamented with the
tail of the animal, and sometimes with
beads or embroidery. It contained
various things besides the bullet
-molds and the bullets and thepatchm.
There was grease for the Jock and gun
wipers and flints and serew driver and
a wire for tko touch-hole. Botsv and

derous weapons from Krupp's great

pistol. I verily believe that Judge
Hammond told the truth when he
charged the grand jury that every
man who carried one about with him
was , a coward. "Yes, gentlemen, I
charge you that a man who carries a
pistol habitually has got a streak of
cowardice running down his back
bone as big as a fence rail and that's
the law."
But the old-time rifle is a quiet,
peaceable gun. It " is-rrignified. It
makes but little noise,r and it takes a
cool, unexcited man to use it in a
proper manner. A man who is mad
enough with another to kill him never
says "I'll get a rifle and shoot him."
But he says, 'Til get me a double-barreled
shotgun and blow his brains
out," or else he slips up on him with one
of these little, dirty, sneaking pistols
and shoots him unawares.
But the milleniuiii hasn't come yet,
and folks will keep on killing folks
awhile longer. Ever since Cain killed
Abel and Lamech killed the young

the devil is at the bottom of it all

mean that? If he did. how many

MOST WONDERFUL Or
PEARLS.
The "Southern Cronu," a Gem Found
a Fisherman In Western Australia.
by
Black pearls used to be held as of
small value, comparatively speaking.
They were first made fashionable by
.the Empress Eugenie, wife of Napo
leon III., who possessed a famous
necklace of them which fetched twenty
thousand dollars at auction after the
overthrow of (the imperial 'dynasty.
This did not include the single great
pearl forming the snap, which was pur
chased by the marquis of Bath for five
thousand dollars. Mexieo, Tahiti and
Fiji supply the markets of the world
with black pearls. The most extraor
dinary pearl in the world, according to
the New York Advertiser, is known as
the "Southern Cvoss." It is probably
the most remarkable thing of its kind
that nature has ever produced. So far
as is known it occupies an absolutely
unique position in the history of pearls.
It consists of a group of nine pearls
, naturally grown together in so regular
a manner as to form an almost perfect
Latin cross. Seven of them compose
the shaft, which measures an inch and
a half in length, while the two arms ot
the cross are formed by one pearl on
each side. All the pearls are of fine
luster.
This astonishing freak was discov
ered by a man named Clark, while
pearl fishing in western Australia. He
regarded it as a miracle, and, enter
taining a superstitious dread of it, he
buried it. In 1S74 it was dug up again
and since then it has changed hands
many times. Its value is set at fifty
thousand dollars. How it came about
that these pearls were grouped to
gether in such a manner no one has as
yet been able to explain satisfactorily.
It has been suggested that a fragment
of serrated seaweed may have got into
the shell of the oyster and that the
succession of teeth along the margin of
the front may have caused the deposi
tion of nacre at regular intervals, so as
to form a string of peaIs in a straight
line. The cross was found in the shell
of the mollusk, just as it was taken
from its native element, without any
possibiltyof its havirg been subjected
to hunian manipulation.
Boots lllackened for Nothing,
Free shines are to be had in every

but to get one you must go to the shop
where you bought your shoes. This
idea of blackening the shoes of cus
tomers for nothing was put in opera
tion five years ago by a -firm of New
England manufacturers who had
twenty-two agencies in different parts
of the country. A bootblack was hired
at each one of these agencies. At first
the customer went in timidly and had.
his shoes blacked once after buying
them. When he next bought shoes he
had them blacked l.a dozen times, andi
now there are men who never think of
paying for a shine. The scheme was

ltrnolurion for a Joint Committee on I'l
imnce 1'aulkner's Compromise
New Hills In the House
Lively Sparring. ,
SEeTK.MBF.il 11. Mr Stewart, of Ne
vada, offered a resolution for an in
quiry into the fact of senators being
stockholders in national banks.
Mr. Hill opposed, the resolution in a
strong speech as being unnecessary
and unprecedented, and a gross reflec
tion on the senate. The resolution
went over until tomorrow, when it
will come up in the regular morning
business.
The bill for the repeal of the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman law was
taken up? and Mr. Pugh, a n?inoritv
member of the finance committee,
.made a two and a half hours' speech
against it, declaring at the close that
it was the determined and unalterable
purpose of the opponents of the repeal
to oppose it until their physical
strength was exhausted, and. their
power of speech gone.
The remainder of the session was oc
cupied in a continuation ot Mr. Teller's
speech aguinst the bill. He did not
conclude, but said he would take up
another phase of the question on some
other day. ; . j ?
There were less than one hundred
members present when jthe house was
called to order at noon today. In his
prayer the chaplain prayed for the
child which had been added to the na
tion and the home and the heart of the
chief magistrate of the country. He
invoked the divine protection on both
mother and child. He prayed that the
little one would grow. up with every
grace and womanly virtue. j
Mr. Richardson, from the committee
on printing, reported back the resolu
tion providing that all documents and
books ordered by the fifty-second con
gress and remaining undistributed at
this time shall be distributed among
the members of the fifty-third congress.
Mi Richardson said that unless the
resolution was adopted the documents
which v.vvc published before the first
Monday in December would be distrib
uted to members who had retired on
the 4th of March and not to sitting
members. The resolution was then
adopted.
Skittembkr 12. There was very little
business transacted in the house today
that was of general interest.
Mr. Hepburn, republican, of Iowa,
asked for the immediate consideration
of a resolution calling on the secretary
of the treasury for information as' to
the "amount of merchandise in bond or
duty paid and products and manufac
tures of the United States which was
transported from one part of the
United SUites to another part therein
over i ne territory ot trie nonunion oi
Canada, by railroad routes or partly
by rail road and partly by water routes,
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, occu
pied the attention of the senate today
for three hours in an elaborate argu
ment against" the bill to repeal the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
After he got through there sprung up
bet ween Senators Teller, of Colorado,
und IIawle3r, of Connecticut, quite a
spirited discussion into which finally
Mr. Stewart entered.
At the opening of the session a letter
from the treasury department in re
sponse to a resolution inquiring as to
the redemption of treasury notes in
silver, etc., was presented and read.
It states that $1,473,874 of treasury
notes issued under the Sherman act
have been redeemed in silver coin in
August and September, that $36,087,185
silver coinage had been minted, with a
gain or seigniorage coinage of 56,691,
lO'.t: and that the remainder of the bul
lion purchased under the Sherman'
act had not been coined because no
further coinage had been necessary
to provide for the redemption of the
notes in silver.
A resolution offered yesterday byMr.
Stewart as to senators being stock
holders in national banks having been
laid before the senate, Mr. Stewart of- .
fered to yield to Mr. Mitchell, of Ore
gon, who desired to address the senate
on the repeal bill, and his resolution
by unanimous consent went over until
tomorrow. Mr. White, of California,
gave notice that he would address
the senate on the repeal bill next Tues
day. '
Ski'i-kmhei: 13. A bill for a bimetal
lie money system was introduced by
M r 1 Vffer. by request, but was re
ferred to the finance committee. It
provides that all the paper money of
prior issue hereafter paid out by the
United States treasury shall be.
stamped' "Redeemable in equal sums
of gold and' silver or in United States
treasury notes thus redeemable.
Mr. Mills gave notice that he would
address the senate on the repeal bill
next Tuesday.
Mr. Stewart's resolution for a com
mittee of inqujry as to senator j.vu
ing stock of national banks was laid
before the senate aud Mr. Stewart
pioeeeded to argue in support of it.
Mr. Dolpli then argued against the
free coinage of silver and vigorously
criticised those senators fiora the
silver states whe attempted to make
this question a sectional Dne.
Mr. Teller aid the senator begged
the question. The pending question
was net a question of free coinage. It
was a question of whether the United
States, having adopted a system of
silver coinage, should now abandon it.
The house held a short session, de
voted mainly to routine business and
adjourned pending action on the bill
relative to public printing.
September 14. Numerous - petitions
were presented this morning favor
ing the free coinage at different ratios.
Faulkner offered an amendment to
the Wilson repeal bill outlined in his
speech the other day anil asked it to
be printed in Record. It provides for
three million silver dollars. 412 1-2
grains weight, to be 'coined every
month until SStto.oOJi.ooti is coined and
directs the: way in which purchases
shall be made a ml money issued. 1 1 also
provides for the gradual redemption of
national bank notes until nO currency
of that-', description is - in circulation
smaller than the denomination of ten
dollars: .
The Wilson' bill was then called up
and Mr. Daniel began his speech. He
was glad to note how, when the acute
panic was over, it-was easy to see the
Sherman law had nothing to do with
sending away gold, and the threatened
repeal had been of no earthly use in
bringing it back. The conditions
brought about- by the panic were the
enormous increase of debt, unpre
cedented in lowering prices that had
been going on for twenty years, and
contefnporaneous destruction of the
money power of silver.
The struggle over the federal elec
tion repeal bill was begun in the house
with the opening of the session by the
republicans, under the lead of Bur
rows, who filibustered to prevent the
reception of the report from the com
mittee on election of president and
vice-president in favor of the Tucker
bill. "

the call of committees for reports re

by Messrs. Weadock. Powers, Curtis,
Caruth, McMillin, Haugcn, Dcarmond
and Escovert, and then, as a mark of"
respect to the memory of the deceased,
the house, at 3:20 o'clock p. m., ad
journed. At 12:35 oclock the senate proceeded
to the consideration of the repeal bill,
and was addressed in the defense of
the bill by Mr. Lindsay, democrat, of
Kentucky, it being his tirst speech in
the senate, except some remarks of
an obituary character. He argued
that the repeal bill left unimpaired the
bill of iy.IO.so far as r it affected the
coinage of silver, in the future.. It is
strange, he .said, to hear senators a.V
sart that the repeal of the Sherman
act would be to demonetize .silver and
to break down the last hope of those
who held to the pop'ula r idea of bime
tallism. .
Stranger still was the claim qf dem
ocratic senators that the repeal bill
was undemocratic and in opposition to
the Chicago platform. .
The greater part of Mr. Lindsay's
speech, which occupied and hour and
a half, was devoted to the defeiye of
Secre t ary Ca rly sle from the i ni p u 1 ac
tion that he had been a party to the
conspiracy of New York bankers to
bring about a panic in order to com
pel a repeal of the Sherman law.
Sememhek 10. A second effort on
the part of Senator Voorhees today to
reach an agreement as to the time for
the closing debate on the repeal bill,
and proceeding to vote on the bill and
amendments, had no better result than
his previous one. except tha t there was
a sort of intimation by Mr. Teller that
as no speeches had been made for de
lay, none would be, aud that the ques
tion of closing the debate might lie
over for the present at least.
Mr. Allison made a three-hour's
speech in order to prove that the true
way to rehabilitate silver was to repeal
the silver purchase law and thus force
England and the nations of Europe to
come to an international agreement on
the subject. "
The remainder of the day was given
to eulogies on the life and character
of the late Senator Stanford of Cali
fornia. The proceedings in the bouse today
were a repetition of the proceedings
of yesterday, and of the day before,
with the single exception that the ses
sion was shorter ana lasted only forty
minutes. The tactics which the republicans-have
adopted to keep out a
report on the federal election bill were
again resorted to aud the demorats,
not having a quorum, yielded to the in
evitable and moved an adjournment
which was taken at 12:40 o'clock until
1:45 o'clock Monday.
