SIEGE GUNS.
Practieg by Cads at the West Point UMil
tary Aesdemy.
The artillery practice at West Point
during the recent commencement exer
cises not only attracted much notice but
was clearly observed to be a drill in
which the spirit of rivalry among the
gray-cost gunners excelled that of any
other practice. It was also a drill that
old army officers delighted to look at,
and no spectator was more interested
than Glen. W. S. Rosecrans, the presi
dent of the board of visitors. He ar
rived early at each artillery drill and
departed only when it was fully com
pleted, and when the cadet gunuers
showed their proftciency in marks
manship by piercing the tar
get, and p when they
drove a projecte throuqh the bull's
eye, "Old Bosey" enthusiastically clap
ped his hands in approval of the shot.
On the 3d Inst., the authorities of the
post gave a special exhibition of the
siege be. practice in honor of the
board of isitors. The regular spring
practice at the academy takes place in
the month of April, from the 1st to the
80th inclusive. The pieces used in
the siege battery drill were thirty-pound
Parrot rises, maaufactured at the Cold
spring foundry, being of the same pat
tern as those used during the war or the
rebellion for siege work. The projec
tiles were of the Butler pattern, the
very best used in the service. The tar
get was set in the bank on she south
side of Target hill, which is a mountain
of sand, and looated under Crow Nest,
and between the West Shore railroad
and the Hudson river.
The target measured 16x16 feet, and
was made of inch plank divided into
a s by horizontal and vertical lines.
squares are marked upon the tar
get to faisltate the keeping of each
gunner's score. During the firing an

with a telescope pointed directly on the
target, and as a shot enters it, and be

There is to be seen at Laudreoles, in.
the department of the north, says the
London Glob., an invalid artillery sol
dier who was wounded in the late Fran
eo-Germua war, when he was horribly
mutilated by the busting of a Prussian
shell. The man's face was literally
blown of, including both eyes, there
being 11t behind some amcuty remnants
of the oeseou and muscular systems.
The skull, which is well covered with
hair, was left intact, so that the man
had a most hideous and ghastly ap
peartnoe. This disgurement has been
samnplately oacealed by a mask, which
was made for himunder the direction of
princlpal medical oelor of Valde Grace,
in Paris, whither he had been trans
ferred from the field ambulance. The
mask was constructed by a surgeon den
tint named Delalain. It includes a
false palate and a complete set of false
teeth; and it is so perfect that the func
tions of respiration and masti
estion, which weft iancsarily and im
perfectly perforzaed, are almost com
pletely restored to thur normal condi
tic., and the vcice, which was rather
husky, has resmsed its natural tone.
The man speaks distinctly, the sense of
smell, which had entirely disappeared,
has returned, and he can even play the
Aute. He wears two false eyes, sply
to Ay the cavities of the orbits, for
the repessenting the eyes in the
are closed. In fact, the mask is
so well adapted to what remains of the
real tfae as to be considered one of the
nasct speeamens of the prothetic art
that could be devised.
The man himself, whose name is
Koreau, and who is in perfect health, is
looked upon as a living curiosity, and
travellers go a good deal out of their
way to see him. fia .ee, or rather his
mask, is, of coulee, wihe'1 any expres
sion, but his spe-al senses, particular
ly that of touch, are extremely devel
od, and he goes by the soubriquet of
" Homme ala Tete deo Ore. He
wests the military cross of honor, and
delights to talk about what he has gone
through during the war. To add to
hip pension, he sells a pamphlet
eem ý a full description of his
woaads and of the apparatus that has
been so skillfully devised as to render
him at least presentable to his fellow
esaaturs._

Uxposure of Mind Sea ing.
lhe Subject of Mind-reading is at
tracting considerable attention in Lon
don, and Mr. Labouchere, the editor of
London Troth, has been publicly ex
posing the tricks of the readers and
bitterly denouncing the imposition in
his journal. So savagely has he attacked
Irving Bishop, a noted performer, that
he was sued last week for libel ad the
damages are laid at a large amount.
The following is the interview Mr. La
bouchere had with Stuart Cumberland,
a rivil performer, which led to the suit:
Mr. Stuart Cumberland called upon
me one day last week to explain to me
how he succeeds in finding pins in oth
er such "manifestations. If a person
will concentrate his thoughts upon an
object, and if any one-wee percep
tive faculties are properly. trained
takes his hand, the operator wili be,
Mr. Cumberland explained, inevitably
drawn to the p where the object is.
SThought-readg , then, I said, "is
musel reading." "To a certain ex
tent," Be replied, "but not absolutely.
You have to watch for othefhdioations;
for instance, if I ind myself close to the
article thought of, the hand of some sub
jects gets hot, in others the pulse quick
ens. You must watch these indications
as well as the muscles." "But, surely
you must have had a confederate when
you tied yourself to a man by a
string, and found -an object
concealed by him." "No," he said:
"I could feel the string dragging one
way, and I followed the indication.
When I came near the object the string
trembled. This is the simple explana
tion of the mystery." "And do you
mean to say that yop can take hold of a
person's hand with Bne of your hands,
and with the other write a series of
numbers that he is to think of?"
"Certainly not." he replied; "the per
son's hand must grasp the hand with
which I write; my hand remains al
most passive, and he without knowing
it, himself writes the numbers"" "Well,"
I said, "I will think of something in
this room, and we will nee if you can
discover it." I thought of a little card
case thas was lying on the table. Mr
Cumberland blind-folded himself.
"Why do you do that?" I said.
"That my own thoughts should not be
diverted from what I am doing." He
took my hand; in a minute or two he
approached, the table, hovered over the
various articles upon it, and finally
placed my hand upon the card case. I
had thought all the while of this article
and I could feel my hand involuntarily
drawing him towards it. It would take
a person a long time to -aquire Mr.
Cumberland's powers of preception; but
any one can realise how the trick-If I
may call it so-is done, by thinking of
some object on a table, and getting a
friend to grasp his hand and try to dis
cover it. He has only to concentrate
his thoughts upon the object and
the exact place where it is, in order
to find that his hand reqists when
ever it is sought to divert it
from the direction towards the ob
ject which it, apparently of itself, strives
to approach. In fact, the thought acts
upon the muscles much in the same way
as the desire to grasp something causes
the hand to grasp it. In both cases the
muscles involuntarily obey the brain.
"And how did Irving Bishop read the
number of a bank note that was en
closed in an envelope without contact
with the only person who knew it?" I
asked. "To do so by what he terms
'thought reading.'" Mr. Cumberland
answered, "is absolutely impossible.
Without contact you can obtain no in
dication of what is pasung in the brain
of another person, as you may perceive
yourself ifyou have understood my ex
planation.
"Then the thing was a swindle." I
said. Mr. Cumberland smiled. "And
the mental picture which he professes
to see?" Mr. Cumberlandamiled again.

The majority of people in this state,
says the San Francisco Bulletin, are
not rich. These was a time when the
glamor of wealth seemed to be over all
the state. There are not so many rich
people in California to-day in propor
tion to the population as there are in
eaoh one of the older states of the union.
There is less warrant for costly living
or for domestic expenditures on the
scale of prospective fortunes. Look
ing to the future, one might inquire
what are the prospective sources of
wealth? There are no more great for
tunes to be made in railway construc
tion, few or no great fortunes to be
made in mining ventures, the stock
boards are no longer prominent. Ohly
the slow process of wealth are left- aI
riculture, manufactures, and industaal
pursuit. generally, which are most fit
ting for a people who are not wealthy,
but who have not yet quite forgotten
the lives of their fathers and mothers
the domestic economy by means of
which large families were well brought
up, educated, and sent out into the
world to make their own way success
fully.

SI Louis Repubhican
One of the most eccentric characters
in Missouri-if not in the entire Miss
issippi Valley-is William Tohe, of
Kirkwood. He is better known as "Bill
the Whittler." Bill claims to be cham
pion whittler in the world. With an
ordinary penknife he has demonstrated
his ability to make almost anything a
carpenter, a cabinet-maker, or wood
carver can make with a full set of
edgedtools. He occupies an old church
in Jkwood, which he has filled almost
completely with curiosities of a novel
as well as useful character with the
aid of his trusty bonehandled knife.
The spectators who take the trouble to
visit stis museum will And the collec-,
tion as interesting as the pictures of a
famous art gallery. A short time ago
Bill ma ,s the anmouncement that
he would throw the church doors
open on a cartain day in
order that those who desired to see nis
coptrivances might gratify their curios
ity. After that date no person should
be admitted, as he proposed to begin
the greatest undertaking of his life,
viz., the construction of a gigantic au
tomatic concern that would surpass
anything of the kind the world had ev
er seen. The population of Kirkwood
with scarcely an exception accepted
Bill's invitation, and all day during his
reception the church was filled with
people. *ver since that eventful day
the peopl, of Kirkwood have looked
upon Bill pa the eighth wonder of the
world. A XIepublican reporter visited
Kirkwood yesterday and had a very
pleasant interview with "Bill." Bill
was sitting on a bench with a section
of a cigar '-ax in one hand had his fa
vorite bone-handled knife in the other,
whittling away as though the destiny
of the world depended upon his ability
to complete his work. The blade of
the knife he used was about an inch
long, and tapered all the way from the
hilt to the point.
"Well, Bill," said the reporter, "they
say you are the champion whittler of
the world."
"Yes, and I am willing to whittle any
thing against any man living. There is
only one other whittler on the face of
the earth who can even approach my
work, and that is Monkey John, of
Chicago. Monkey John would not
whittle 'ast me, for he and I have
whittled together and he knows what I
can do. I was born in St. Louis, on
Morgan street, in the building occupied
years ago by the old Mound City Bakery.
When in my teens I became the appren
tice of a mllwright, but before my time
was out, at the beglaning of the war, I
ran away and joined the Union rimy as
a member of Captain G. W. Penn's com
pany. While serving as a soldier I had
one of the toes of jny right foot shot off,
and could hav a pension had I
seen fit to a one. However,
I had a little pit eompted me to
vow I would never all %pon Uncle Sam
for assistance as long as I could use a
knife and obtain a livelihood by whit
tling. It may appear strange to you,
but it is true nevertheless, that
I never knew that I had any ex
Laordinary gift for whittling un
til I reached my twenty-third year.
Then I made a toy house for my sister,
which was so universally admired that
I determined to manufacture other
curiosities. The first piece of impor
tance I whittled was a complete model
of the Castle Bingen-on-the-Rhine.
This piece was finished in 1878, and
contained 560 windows. It is owned by
a gentleman residing in Clay county,
Texas. The next piece was the model
of the steamship Bristol, copied from an
engraving on a hand-bill.
"I defy any artist to eclipe my work
with eitherapencil or brush. An artist
may draw a picture as perfectly as he
possibly can, and hand it to me to re
produce in wood. sad l will lmmediately
improve on the pieture. Some men
think because they can make a wooden
chain with a knife they are great whit
tlers. There is no trick in making a
simple chain, as the man who makes
one link can make forty. Scrolling is
by far the most difficult work a man
can do with a knife. I can carve
perfectly a leaf or an animal. With a
pocket knife I have made over three
hundred models which occupy places in
the Patent office.
About a year ag6 I made the model
of a steamship for parties in Europe.
They were so weif pleased with it
that they pavd me $850 for my work.
This model was ran by steam and
could travel through the water at the
rate of sixteen miles an hour. My ap
titude for whittling is a'ift as natural
to me as an ear music is to some
other men. After a pitoe of work is
fniahed I ofteu look at it with astonish
ment, and wonder how I succeeded in
making it so complete in every detail.
I cannot draw, and know next to noth
ing about mathematics, yet my propor.
tions in every piece of work I made
are always remarkably correct. When
I look at a picture which I intend
to represent in wood, I unoonsciously
measure its proportions with the eye, I
will wager my life almost that I can
whittle out any automatic contrivance
ever invented in the space of a year.
Until this year I was not aware that
anything more than a living could be
made by a whittler, but now I entertain
a different opinion. The most I ever
made on a piece prior to this year was
$20, which was cleared on a raffle. In
two weeks I can complete in every de
tail the model of any ship ever built,
and I will construct any kind of a ma
chine ever invented and make it run in I
an eight ounce bottle. All this sounds
very strange tp you, yet every word of
t is true."

I have been greatly beneAted by Burdock
Blood Bitters. Two bottles entirely cured me
of the worst kind of dyspepelsa. I tried many
other medicines, but entirely failed to get any
redjet from them.

I have been using Burdock Blood Bitters for
a bad case of dyspepasa. The first (bottle pur
chased at Bradbury's drug store, Washington
Bt.)relieved me so much I procured the second
bottle (at Putnam's drug store, E. Boston),
which has done one a great deal of good.

are frequent of a sort of stagnation. the
offspring of fear and general distrust.
The relapse from a "boom" is not a
pleasant thing, but it is inevitable.
