SATURDAY MARCH 14 1891.
Some Long-Range Guns.
Brooklyn Eagle.
A man who makes the claim
boldly and badly that his ancestor
was one of the passengers in Noah’s
ark entered the car at Cumberland
street on Thursday morning. He
round a vacant seat beside a smoke
begrimmed clay pipe with a red
whiskered man supportii g it pulled
out a pamphlet bearingon its cover a
d alo>art'’nlng representation of New
Yorkjard Brooklyn blazing and burst*
ing unuer the shells of a loe located
somewhere down near Norton’s Point
and became to make very audible
comments on the excellence and ac-
curacy of the picture. He went so far
in fact as to assert that every
country in the world was so well
equipped with naval guns that the
great metropolitan center of the
United States was practically de-
fenseless. He made no secret of the
fact that he got his information from
a source that supplies the inhabitants
of menageries with startling news
concerning tneir individual move-
ments and elaborated the theory
that a Peruvian gunboat with two
horse-pistols aboard could knock the
palatial public and private buildings
of the sister cities into smithereens.
The friend and supporter of the clay
pipe grew weary and remarked:
“Divll a bit ov It I”
“My friend” observed the man
with the pamphlet “you evidently
take me for an alarmist. But 1 am
not. I don’t believe that you’ve ever
se-n any of these guns that I refer to.
Why sir-”
“Aisy now” said the passenger
behind the pipe “I’ve seen more
guns in the days than ye ever looked
at. How far now might that big-
gest wan ye was referrin’ to a short
time ago shoot?”
“Shoot sir? Twelve miles sir. Yes
sir easily twelve miles sir. And
‘twould knock the new post office in-
to ruin's before we knew what we
were about.”
“Twelve mllesl” remarked the sup-
porter of the pipe in a tone so scorn-
ful that the mustache on a cigarette
smoker on the other side of the car
involuntarily curld: “twelve miles!
An’ye call that a gun?”
“Nothing like it sir. Ship sir
way out in the bay can bombard the
sugar refineries in the eastern district
and clean out Long Island City.
“Ye’re gabbin’ an’ ye're gabbin’”
impressively observed the critical
passenger. “Did ye ever see a gun
anyway? Talkin’about twelve-mile
guns! Lemmo tell ye about a gun 1
saw meself at Dover. D’ye know
where Dover is? Over in England
forninst the French coast. Well be
ail that’s sound I saw a gun there
whose aqual can’t be found in the
worruld. Ye may b’lave it or not
but on the barrel of the cannon was
this—an’ I’ll never forget It: ’Ram
me tight and sponge me clane an’ I’ll
sen a bullet to Calais grane’—an’
that’s twenty-one miles across the
say.”
A LITTLE GIRLS’S EXPERIENCE IN
A LIGHTHOUSE.
Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep-
ers of the government lighthouse at Sand
Beach Mich. and are blessed with a
daughter four years old. Last April she
was taken down with measles followed
with a dreadful cough and turning into
fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit
Heated her but in vain she grew’ worse
rapidly until she was a mere "handful of
bones.’’ Then she tried Dr. King’s New
Discovery and after the use of tw o and a
half bottles was completely cured. They
say Dr. King’s New Discovery is worth
its weight in gold yet you may get a trial
hottie free at Drelss. Thompson & Co.’s
drug store. 3-11-lm

Changes of Climate
Kill more people than is generally known.
Particularly is this the case in Instances
where the constitution is delicate and
among our immigrant population seeking
new homes in those portions of the west
and where malaria and typhoid fevers
prevail at Tertain seasons of the year.
The best preparative for a change of cli-
mate or of diet and water which that
change necessitates is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters! which not only fortifies the
system against malaria a variable tein-
lierature damp and the debilitating ef-
fects of tropical heal but is also the lead-
ing remedy for constipation dyspepsia
liver complaint bodily troubles specially
apt to attack emigrants and visitors to
regions near the equator mariners and
tourists. Whether used as a safeguard
by sea voyagers travelers by land min-
er' f agriculturists in newly ponu-
svea u.stricts. this fine specific has
elicited the- most favorable testimony.
