The United States is supposed to less exposed to thances of war than any other country, but one of the chief recent topics has been the armament of fighting -hips and the failure of the gun fixtures on the cruiser Atlanta to hold her pivot guns. These guns are considered formidable, yet they are not to be compared to the heaviest ordance now carried on w ar ships. In lSt() the largest of these threw a ball weighing sixty eight pounds, with an initial velocity of l.,"70 feet per second, and an energy of 1 , 1 00 foot tons. Now. initial velocities have been increased to ",100 eet. the largest projectiles we'gh as much as 2.. ".00 ponnds, and the lioton guns of the English vessel Ileiibow reaches an energy of about 'o,(M foot tons, livery country is pro viding itself with a more and more formidable armament. Recent French'vessels are equipped with Til-ton guns, while the improved Armstrong guns for Italian u en-of war weigh li 0 tons, and others have been made weighing 10." tons. The largest Kropp gun weighs 11'. tons: the English are making one at Elswick. weighing 110 tons arid 4 1 feet long, and a loO ton gun is to be attempted at the Essen works. 1 he 1 ansy. There is a fable told about a king's garden, in which, all at once the trees and flowers begn to pine and make complaint. The oak was sad because it could not yield flowers: the rosebush was sad because it could bear no frnit : the vine was sad because it had to , . . , i ii cling to the wall and could cast no shadow "I am not of the least use iu the worhl,' said the oak. 4i might as well die, since I y ield no Iru-.t," sa.d the rosebush. "What good can I do in the world?" said t he vine. Then the kind saw a little pansy, which all this time held up iks glad, fresh face, while ail the rest were sad. And the king said: "What makes you so fresh and glad, while . all the rest pine and are sad?" I "I thought," said the pansy, "that y ou wanted me here, because y ou wanted me ; and so I made np my mind that I would try to be the best little pausv that I could be." Header, are you like the oak, the rosebush and the vine doing noth ing, because you cannot do what others do? Then, rather be like the pausy, and do your best in that lit tle spt t where God's hand has pla ced j oa. - Retaining Fertility by Rotation The grass sod, when hay begins to tall, still contains a great amount of fertility. The clover and other roots have brought much up from the depths, and if crops have been at times somewhat encouraged by " hand fertilizers,'' though the original heavy dressing of manure may ha-e been all used up. the soil w-'d have improved both in texture and fertility. The grans may, indeed, be kept up by top dressings, and on rich bottom land we find, not unfrequently, "per manent meadows,'- which yield paying crops year after year with out manuring, ana others which do so with occassional top dressings of bone, lime, ashes or similar manures. Whether these shall remain or shall be plowed up is a question of profit, and it is often the very worst policy to break up fairly profitable meadows. When : again laid down to grass they may ''dine full of weeds, that will give a bad flavor to butter, or the catch may be irregular, and it may be y ears before a good, even sod can bo had, and the same is especially true of old pastures. Many differ ent rotations have been recommen ded, but the princible is the same in all. and what rotations should be followed, and how they should be broken m upon with conimer ci d crops, and w hether or not to repeat our crop several years in siiccesMon. etc., are matters of policy tor individuals to detenu American Agriculturist.

Punctuality should be one of the viitues grounded into children w lnle they are receiving their moral, intellec tul and physical training. School teachers do attempt this for their own comfort aud the disiplineof their scholars, but the parehts can render great assistance, too. They can begin to form the habit which, will generally stick through life while yet their offspring are too! young to come under the teacher's are nours snoiiiu ne set lor doing certain things about the house and children should be compelled to ad here closely to the iules.

'Then there would be less incessity for those ironclad rules w inch are now posted Improvement of the Cotton Plant. Many of the so called long sta- pled upland varieties owe their distinctive peculiarities to attempts to imp.ove the quality ot the staple ot upland varieties, by hybridizing with the Sea Island. The object sought was to lengthen the staple by using the Sea Island on the one hand, and secure produciveiiess from the Upland on the o her. These elTorts have generally re sulted in an improvement 111 the lint, but such reduction in produc tiveness, as to destroy the advan tage gained in the quality of lint.

The private had a big pair of saddle bags hung over the rear of his saddle, stuffed with sundry merchandise. Clapping spurs to the horse the General -sas soon dying through the streets at a rapid pace. Women and children, those who were brave enough t look out of the windows, began to yell and laugh, and the brigade the Geueral was leading broke forth with loud shouts and peals of merriment. From both saddle bags long strips of ribbon streamed in the breeze and fluttered about the heads of the horses in the rear. The pouches on each side of the horse were winding out ribbon almost as rapid Iy as the Conjuicr Hermann un winds it fiom a hat. Pieces ol ladies' drts.s goods also began to swing out. He mistook the shouts for encouragement and continued his wild charge until he discovered the real cause of the din.

The triumph of persisten t effort was illustrated very forcibly the other day in Connecticut. For titteen years an inventor of the name of Case has been at work on a new kind ofsteam engine.

The invention is neither more nor less than a miniature steam en gine w ith the power of a much lar ger one. Air. Case, out of a few pieces of cast iron, has built a ten horse power engine that is but a foot and a half long and eight inches wide. It has been thor oughly tested, anil unmistakably accomplishes a'l that is claimed lor it.

A steam horse power is equal to j t hree actual horses' power : a living ! horse is equal to seven men. The j steam engines today represent in I the woild approximately the work ; ot a thousand millions ol men, or , more than double the working population ef the earth, whose total population amounts to l.loo, 'J'.l, 000 inhabitants.

' ''Who," says Herbert Spencer, "hen watching a mother snatch ul iiilleu llttle one) nas not often traced, both in the rough manner and in the sharply ottered exclama tion, 'You stnpid little thing!' an irascibility foretelling endless future squabbles!" Who, again it may be asked with even more force, has not recognized in the obstinate ami perverse ways ol many parents and grandparents the elective in stilling by example ot the exact contrary of the lesson constantly repeated in precept? The blindness of some of 'his matter, writes Rich aid A. Proctor, is so strange that it is apt to provoke a smile even w hen rousing just indication when its consequences are considered. 1 have heard a person proclaim loud ly the perfectly preposterous prin ciple: "Children must be made to obey; y on must never y leld to them: it is the only way to make them docile and yielding."' The child is told day after day to be yielding, but hour after hour the grown folk who wearisomely iterate precepts of docility teach the child tenfold more efficacy by example to be obstinate and even violent. I have heard the mot her of grown up children say: '! never yield to my children in anything: I was resolved to make them yield to me in all things, or I would know the lea.son why," her voice raising in angry tones as the mere thought of opposition to her will arose in her ind, and one could see in the in flamed face and angry eyes the evidence of the defeats which should have been controlled in herself be ;oie she could hope to corect them, e; u by the most careful training. 111 such ol hei childien as inherited !;kc delicts from her. It never o. -cured to her, apparently, that setting an example of obstinacy mi even of increasing violence was nt quite the best way to correct i ,i!

A complacent assurance prevailed in her mind that bv t.ngau example of obstinate per '.iisiiv she could certainly tiain ;n-r children to be kindly and con si lerale. Good Housekeeping. Tli (.'(dor of Summer ( lothintr. queston whether daik 1 he queston whether uaik or light clothing is the cooler is one to winch a good deal of interest at taches iu such a summer as the present one. It would appear that it might be definitely settle without any great difficulty, and yet the opinions of di lie re tit authorities on the subject are diametrically oppo site. A well known New York physi cian gives his judgment thus: -It is best to wear dark clothing in the summer. The black absorbs heat when it is in the sun's rays. On the other baud, the heat will pass out. through the black textures rapidly, so that the radiation of the heat from the body would be much freer in a person clothed iD black than white. This statement is forcibly illustrated by the white coats of animals who live in the Arctic regions. They are clothed that way for the reason that the color hold the bodily heat and does not allow it to radiate as rapidly as black.'' Captain Mayne Keid, who pre sumably knew whereof he spoke, maintained the same view, and sup ported it by the results of some ex periments made with thermometers wrapped respectively in black and white coverings. And yet this is not the generally accepted idea. The majority cer tainly appear to agree with another prominent medical mau, who says, in an article published by a con temporary magazine. '-The best way to dress is to wear thin woolen material next tho skin, as little out side clothing as possible, and that of a light color. Dark colors draw the heat and light ones repel it."' A Polish Xobleuian of Note. Among those who came to Ameri ca with Kossuth in 1S51, and ac companied him on his memorable tour of this country, was the Count Zewotski, a Polish nobleman, one of the victims of the Ilussian con fiscation of that country. Count Zewotski had been a member of Napaleoa's army. He witnessed the burning of Moscow and shared in the disastrous retreat of the French army from the liussian capital. He was at Waterloo, and was for three months at St. Helena as an attendant of Napoleon. His estates having been confiscated in Poland, he joined Kossuth in Hun gary in ISIS, and at the failure of the movement tied with him from the country. Count Zewotski did not return to Flurope with Kossuth, but went to California. He made a fortune there, but lost It. In ISO- he left California with the in tention of returning to France. He was in Harrisburg when Lincoln's call for troops was made, and en listed, though he w -s seventy years of age. He was assigned to the one hundred and first Pennsylvania segiment. Ho served all through the war.

THE EYER-GEEEX PINE, Surely there is not a Tar-Heel but what will in some degree find apprecia tion in the below lines which refers to the beautiful and most important tree that grows in North Carolina: Oh, a valiant tree is the ever-green pine, That grows on the bleak mountain side Not a fear does it feel of the wind or the storm. As it stands like a king in its pride The lightnings may flash 'round its tall waving crest, And the wind 'mid its branches may rave : But it stands in its strength like a lion at bay. Or a hero, who'll ne'er be a slave. Oh a sorrowful tree is the ever green pine That grows in tho sweet smiling 1 vale. It murmurs forever a low, plaintiff song. That resembles a 'lorn lover's wail. It stretches its strong, shady branches abroad And it eighs to the flowers below. And it tells of the sorrow corroding its heart To the bre zes that merrily blow. Oh. a beautiful tree is the ever green pine Tnat grows on the hill's sloping side: It shelters the woodbird, gives shade to the deer. And makes cheerful our house, far and wide. Then honored and loved be the ever green pine That fears neither lightning nor gale. And cherished still more be the sorrow ful tree That sighs in the sweet smiling vale M J. HlORDAN.

The apparatus is in tact."' Forgot Her Baby. Absent minded persons often create amusement for their friends, in which, however, they themselves do not alway s join. For instance: An Ohio mother checked her baby-carriage to a neighboring town which she was about to visit, and forgot to remove the baby. Just before the train started, the baggage-master was startled by the rush of a shrieking woman into his car. Before he could ask an explan ation, she had thrust both hands into the baby carriage, whence she bore a sleeping child. The lookers on laughed, but the mother saw nothing funny in the scene. How to Unlock the Human Heart. No bad man is ever brought to repentance by angry words, or by bitter, scornful reproaches. lie fortifies himself against reproof, and hurls back foul charges in the face oi his accuser. Yet guilty and hardened as he seems, he has a heart in his bosom, and may be melted to tears by a gentle voice. Wboso, therefore, can restrain his disposition to blame and find fault, and can bring himself down to a fallen brother, will soon find a way to better feelings within. Pity and patience are the keys which unlock heart. The subject ofpermature bald ness is one in which a vast number ot persons take a direct and lively interest. According to the Lancet, there is little doubt that such bald ness is increasing, aud it is difficult to give any satisfactory scientific explanation of the fact. That journal does not attribute much im portance to the suggestion that tight hats are injurious, but it de clares that harm may be done in time by washing the head every morning, and neglecting to replace the oilv material thus removed. A Chicago man visiting Cin cinnati was beingshown around by a cit'zen, who said : uNow, let's go and see the Widows, Borne."' The Uhicago man put his finger to the side of his nose and winked, and then said : "Not much, Mary Ann; I saw a widow home once, and she sued me for breach of promise and proved it on me, and it cost me sixteen thousand dollars No, sir ; send the widow home in a hack." Singular Chinese Sentence. A Chinese merchant, accused and convicted of having killed his wife, was sentenced to die by the total deprivation of sleep. The condem ned was placed in prison under the surveillance of three guardians, who relieved each other every alternate hour, and who prevented him from taking sleep night or day. He lived thus for nineteen days without hav ing slept for a single minute. Be fore he died his sufferings were terrible. A man who had become annoyed beyond endurance by the fault finding of his children with their food, exclaimed at dinner: "Y'ou children are intolerable! You turn up your noses at everything. When I was a boy I was often glad enough to get dry bread to eat!' "Poor papa!" said little Rose, the lamily pet "poor papa: 1 m so glad you're having so much nicer times living with mamma and us!" Human nature is much the same everywhere, and what pleases or displeases it is the same from the peer to the peasant. Sunshine, love home, peace, contentment are com mon to all of us, and are confiued to no mode or condition of life. The pleasures which rich men pur chase with their money such as gambling, horse-racing, yachting, luxurious living and late hours most ot us can do very well without. The joys that cannot be purchased are the dearest, the sweetest, and the best. Little Dot "I like my papa best. 1 Don't you yours V Little Dick "No, I don't. My' papa spanks me." '.

Accordingly, excitement" is now at fever heat, and future developments are awaited with the keenest inter est. The aggressor and victor in I he fight was Mr. Baker, t he well known dry goods merchant on Pollock St. at whose place of business the cut occurred. His victim, II. I, Pi ice, more familarly known as "the Pig Prop het'' or Hi. Price, was one of our oldest residents. With all respect for the dying man, it must be ad mitted that his business relations with a great number of our citizens has gained for him hosts of enemies, while his strongest support natur ally comes from Mr. Baker's com petitors in trade. It, is alleged by reliable parties who claim to possess the inside facts, that although Mr. Baker has long entertained toward Hi. Price feelings of bftterness and mistrust, the immediate cause of the difficulty was the inexcusable course of action adopted by Hi. Price, who of late has been repeatedly detected in the act of slipping into Baker's store. Mr. Baker's friends claim for him that Hi. Price was a tool in the hands of his (Baker's) competitors, and that the object of gaining ad mission to the store "was to injure and cripple his business. Naturally much bad blood has been engender ed, and Mr. Baker's detection of another surrepticious attempt to gain an entrance, was the signal for terrible battle iu which "The Big Prophet'' was nearly cut in two. Hi. Price's friends, the competi-1 tors of Mr. Baker, are loud in the : assertion that he will soon be in the 1 hands of the sheriff, but Mr. Baker states there is not tho least danger j from that source, so long as public i sentiment is with him, aud his) many friends aud patrons boldly1 declare that by a cordial and "united support of Baker can and will frustrate any such ( attempts. i T"n lu.inii.r ri.i;wi t n,i . - tl. a J. uij eirpuini 11 I 1 111 li'U il j i.s.ii.f.i it is to everybody's interests to en dorse Mr. Baker's action in ridding the community of an obnoxious character, and to patronize him to the fullest extent especially as with Hi.
