No. 324.—A Cane Cun (or Cun Cane'. 
—This is a remarkably convenient and effective weapon, 
which, when not in use, has all the appearance of a fine 
ebony, or bard-rubber Carre, and yet it can, in an instant, 
he changed to a Rifle (or Shot gun) which shoots accu¬ 
rately and to a long distance as a rifle of 32-lfi0 calibre 
(or 22-100 when preferred). The writer recently rarried 
one many thousand miles, simply tied with an um¬ 
brella by means of a rubber strap. It attracted no atten¬ 
tion save when explained, and then it excited the admi¬ 
ration of all who saw it. On one occasion a hawk was 
shot from the top of a tree over 80 feet high, and sundry 
small birds desired for preserving as specimens, were 
killed with the shot cartridges—a new device in which 
65 No. 9 shot are packed in a peculiar cartridge that 
holds them together while in the barrel, and prevents 
their leading the grooving. The upper engraving shows 
the cane as it ordinarily appears—the head and covering 
of polished black rubber. The lower engrav- 1 
ing shows one end only. A small sight, at the 
lower end is shown in the upper cut. The 
Cartridge (at c) is put in by opening the cane 
—it uses the ordinary long or short “32,” or 
the shot cartridge. With a “iong32” cartridge 
we have pierced five pine boards, each one inch thick. — 
It is entirely safe. To use it. a quick vigorous pull 
opens the cane at c, the rear sight s flies up, and the two 
sights being far apart, pretty accurate range is obtained. 
Depressing the small trigger (a) fires the charge, but only 
when specially set for firing. A cork or ping in the lower 
end to keep out dirt, fits the cane for a good walking 
stick. The 32-100 size weighs 29 ounces; diameter of 
cane % ths of inch. The 22-100 size weighs 18 ounces. 
We prefer the larger size, but either size is supplied at 
the same price ($10). It is thoroughly made by the Rem¬ 
ington Works, and *13 supplied to us by A. Alford, 
281 Broadway. New York. Ours has been fired some 400 
times, or more, and is in perfect order. For lightness as 
a cane, and for mere target practice, the 32-100 calibre 
answers ; we prefer the 32-100 calibre for most effective 
shooting. We will present one of either calibre desired, 
in return for only 12 subscriptions, at $1.50 each. [Or 
send one on receipt of $10], Expressage to be paid by 
recipient. The ball cartridges can be obtained anywhere. 
The shot cartridges are a new invention, as yet only 
made 22100, 32-100, and 38-100, and are not yet generally 
obtainable. They cost about 85 cents per box of 50, at 
retail. We will send one box of these (32-100) for each 
additional subscriber at $1.50, or send, with the gun, 
one or more boxes at 50 cents per box, when desired.

which enable it to he detached in a second, leaving the 
horses month free to feed, yet secured to any hitching 
place by the halter-rein, as shown above. These Bri¬ 
dies are made of the best, material, and are well worth the
