He is the sixth owner of DEALER IN the plant since the paper was started in March '85. First Mr. Y GOODS AND GROCERIES Stine run it for several months andr Anti keep« constantly on hand Caps, Boots and Shoes sold out to Mr. Wimer, who dis- — AND — posed of it to Mr. Alworth, "'ho sold it to Mr Sheppard, who was General Mining Supplies, relieved by Geo. B. Curry, U'llOID - xj wishing good l>arg«in# must nut fail to the present incumbent bought it re the po­ lice magistrate at Uoltuar. Singularly enough, the charge was brought under .-in old French decree which, under the Republic, wa* probably issued against royalist maiteuvers, prohibiting tlx* wearing or exhibition of seditious em­ blem- emler severe penalties. Mr. Geist was charged in addition with insulting an officer. r. All the accused admitted haiiug worn the little ribbon,, without, however, noticing its colors, but pro­ tested against the assertion that a po­ litical demonstration was intended. The prosecuting attorney, however, insisted upon the point, anti ti mantled the pun­ ishment of the accuse«! under the law of 1*16. The defense claimed that tlx* wearing of a ribbon in tlx* button-hole, espe«*ially upon such an occasion as a wedding, '-"ttl'l not l>e punishable un­ der a law '«gatnst tlx* wearjug of sedi­ tious emblem« The magistrate, mole sensible than the pro*t«*cuting attorney, sided with the defense, declaring that lie could not see the violation of the law in question, mid dheharg«-«! the accused. Thus ended this queer attempt of en­ forcing German patriotism in the <>1oi iitcuded to tire projectiles or toqiedoe nider water. It is the invention of 'aptain Kricason, the well-known scion ie American, and it was made in tin United States, partly under the super vision of Lieutenant Glad.stone, of hoi Majesty's navy, who was sent over fol li.egim, and has now brought it to Enjj land. It reached the arsenal only the seek, and now lies at the inspeeliui biancli ot the royal gnu factories. h lienee, after some preliminary tests, it will be sent on board ship, probably it Portsmouth, for trial at sea Tin cannon and the projectile are almo.'! of equal length, and. as they lie side by side, painted bright red. are formidabl objects to look at. No fewer than foru Ums of steel are used iu the construe lion of the gun. which is thirty fei long, and has a bore of eighteen and a hull inches. It is a breech-loader, and uluses at the stern by an arrangement of a very simple and effectual character much resembling that of the great guns which were displayed at the inventions exhibition. The vent, which is axial, is sealed, and said to be effectual in pre­ venting tlie i scape of powder gases. The projectile measures twonty-Iive feet, which is only five feet less than the gun, and is ganged to pass freely along the bore, which is unritled. It is hol­ low, and notwithstanding its great length weighs only one ton. The pro­ posal is to tit the gun in the bow of a ship nine feet under the water line, so as Io tire straight ahead from the cut­ water. A diaphragm of india-rubber is fixed over the inuz.z.le to exclude the water, but is blown away at the first puff of the discharge. The projectile is inserted from the rear and is stopped by a pin a few inches short of the dia­ phragm, for it has a short rod projecting from its nose, which is to act by percus­ sion on the charge within, and must lie protected from all risks of premature explosion. lt->.afn him th» slater fen.
