They are of the shape and size of a giant fire-cracker, and as they are aa likely to prove tis deaelly to the handlers as to the person against whom they are directed, Dr. Edson thinks their use will not be popular with Anarchists.

The story is as follows: The schooner Augusta Herrick, Captain William E..Herripk, left New York on a fishing trip to the Bay of Fundy. Hearing of the seizure of th Portland schooner by the Canadians, the owners of tho vessel decided that something must bo done to protect their property. The Herrick accordingly put into Boston harbor and her Captain went ashore. Ho went to a gun store and purchased two 36 inch yacht guns, which were delivered on board, to
gether with a large amount uj. amiuuuiuw and small arms. The schooner then headed down the bay on her voyage to the fishing waters along the Canadian shore.' The
Captain, when asKija wnat ue proposed i do with the guns replied: "I am going a fishing in the Bay of Fundy and I don't propose to haveany cheap Canadian pirate seizing my schooner."

POLITICAL. D. T. Patterson, formerly United States Senator from Tennessee, has been appointed Postmaster at Home, Green County, Tennessee. He was a son-in-law of the late President Johnson. The office is worth S240 a year. The Ohio Legislature last week passed a bill abolishing the Board ot Pnblic. WArks and
me Board of Health of Cincinnati, and authorizing Oov. Foraker to appoint five citiaens to constiluto a Board of Puhlie- AtTaii n, whoso duties shall comprise those which formerly devolved upon the old boards. Gov. Foraker made tho appointments the siimo evening. The Board of Public Works has resolved to contest the legal cx 'stance of this board by proceedings in quo warranto. It is probable mat the outcome of this case will nettle the existing legislative muddle. It is estimated that fully two million copies of speeches made at the present session of Congress will be distributed. This doubles any previous record The session of Congress is so far advanced now that some question has been raised as to the calling up of tho tariff bill at. this session, reports a Washington dispatch.
"It has been suspected by some poople that Colonel Morrison intended to let hui bill rest
until next winter, when the Congressional elections would have passed, and when he could
have the whole session for the discussion of the bill, but all the speculation about tho postponement of the matter is idle. The bill
will be called up when the other business of
the House will admit of it without its interfering too muoh with appropriation bills. A tariff bill takes precedence ot everything. But it is not desired by the tariff reformers to dolay the appropriation bills." The Iowa Republican State Convention will beheld at Dee Howes on the 80th of June.
