Fifty of them wil! bave a one-inch bore and the balance one-half inch bore. This gun is quite a curiosity to look ut. The main characteristics of this ter- rible weapon is that it has a series ot barreis, with a carrier and lock cylinder, rigidly tas- ened to the main shaft, and rotating simalta- neously and continuously by means of A crank, the cartridges being fed into the carrier from the feed boxes, thence driving endwise inte the rear ends of the barrels, then exploded and the empty cartridge cases withdrawn. without any pause in the operation. The incessant loading and firmg are produced by the sim- plest kind of mechanism, there being less parts about the gun than in the Springfield mus«et. This gun can be discharged at the rate of two hundred shots per minute. One of its features is that there is no recoil which can affect the accuracy of th@ ain. When the gun is once righted at a given ject, the fame aim can be maintained at the will of the operator until thousands of discharges take piace. A Interal train motion of the gun may be kept up if desired while the gun is be- ing disebarged, so that a perfect sheet of balls can be made to sweepa section of any circle Within its range. As there is noescape of gas at the breech, all the force of the powder t* ex- pended in giving velocity tothe ball. A con- sideration which is claimed to be ofthe very first smportance in this gun, is thatevery ear- tricge must be either discharged or withdrawn from the barrels, thus preclading such results as were shownon the battle-held of Gettys- burg, where of the 28,674 muskets collected alter the battle, 24,000 were found to be loaded, 12.000 of them containing two loads each, 6,00 being charged withfrom three to ten loads each, the cartridges oftentimes being loadea without breaking — te With the ball down coe: con verts had @iread: eatasibe it happened, a that the of the id was and all s and convert an the water fif- teen or twenty feet euc- Soke ic ese ete Ste ate, tened out of his wits, s Seo oabis Ss aaeen ae vy yer Divorce in VErwowt.—Onder ‘Ws Of Vermont divorce is now for > sentence to confinement in the prison tor three years or more, intolerable severity, wil- ful desertion for three absence forseven yearsand not heara of during the time, and Tose neglect and cruel refusal of the to provide suitable maintenance for the A bill was introduced at the Iast session of the ature to add another cause to the abitual imtemperance.” On the first vote it ‘Was lost;on the second carried, and on the third lost—in each case by a very emat] ma- jority.
