PosT MASTER GEHRRAL.--Those
who have been a, the pains to read the
long expose of Amos Kendall relative
to the accounts of Messrs. Stockton 81
Stokes, are aware that the defence rests
on the ground that the Solicitor of the
Treasury as arbitrator exceeded his
powers under the act Of Congress, and
took up and allowed items which did not
como under his supervision. This &C.
counts for the discrepancy between
these two fnnctionaries, but we have on.
ly Kendalrs word for the truth Of his
story. he rejected items in the accounts
Of Stockton IL Stokes, because they
came under Major Barry's extra allow.
ances, but the people remember that
Kendall sustained these allowances and
supported Major Barry in his official
course, although he now tries to back
out at the expense of tho contractors,
and in violation Of the law ofCongress.
This defence amounts to nothing. We
shall see how he makes out in show
ing that the District Court has no legal
urisdiction.--N. y. Star.

Suspension for repairs made necessary
by the constant action Of the fire on
the steam generators. 1t discharges
seventy balls against an iron target at
the end Of the hall, in four seconds
and can be recharged in as many +;
propelling the balls either singly or in
yolleys; so that 420 may be dischar.
ged in minute, or $4,000 or more in
an hour! The barrel at present is fix
ed, for security but the plan is, "a
move it on a ball or socket joint, so as
to aim any way, like the jet of water
engine. The principle is extremely
simple; merely that of boys blow
ing pea through quill. The ball
let into the upright tube Of the gun
fall one by one into the barrel, and arr
propelled through that by a jet O
steam from the generators : the tube
having been carefully stopped by ,
cock at its top, TO prevent the balls go

beer prevailed with the people until the
reign of William and Mary, when the
government having encouraged distil.
latlon by various measures, the con.
sumption of spirits became excessive.
Smollet says the retailers Of brandy
invited passengers, by signs placed o.
yer their shops, to drink for the trifie
of pennyi adding that for two pence
they could make themselves drunk,
and that they could furnish with straw
those who were in that state to lie upon
till they should recover. The govern.
ment became alarmed at such results !;
1t endeavored to renew restrictions up.
on distilling, but succeeded poorly and
1t was not until 1871 that the consump.
ton of beer, which had diminished in
proportion as the brandy had increased,
arose again to the state in which il was
previously--beer again became the ia.

restrictions on the sale Of brandy hav.

the liquor threatened again to become
prevalent. The consumption increas.

DISCOVERY AND USE OF ALCOHOL
The following curious account Of the
use of alcoholic liquors, is translated
from French work entitled LIE Sc.
mour, (The Sower:)
Who, at the time when an Arabian
chemist resolved to search after an
universal solvent by means of which
he could transmUte metals, discovered
alcohol, could have determined the re.
suit of the discovery upon the morality
and prosperity Of mankindl 1t did
not really issue from the domain of
chemistry till towards the end of the
18th century, when they began in
Spain and Italy, to sell the spirits OF
wine tinctured with certain herbs, as a
powerful remedy in various diseases.
Later still the Genoese extracted a
spirituous liquor from Grain. Passing
it off as a powerful specific, they sold
it in small walls, at low price, under
the name of aqua vitae, water of life,
or eau de vie.
Fill the end of the 10th century il
vas considered but as medicine, and
was only sold by the apothecaries.--
About that time The thought was sug.
gested of furnishing it TO miners, who
labore6 in the mines Of Hungary, as a
preservative against heat and damp.
The custom almost at the same time
was introduced into Ireland. Among
the ordinances of Henry VIII, is one
that prohibits more than one manufac.
turer of spirituous liquors to establish
himself in the towns. In the reign of
Mary, an act Of parliament, which de-
scribes liquor of which it is injurious
to drink and daily to use, prohibits en-
tirely any distilling. We find, howev.
ever, some years after, the English
soldiers, who supported the cause of
Holland in the Low Countries, drinking
it as cordial. This is the commence.
.ment of the period from which is dated
its manufacture on a large scale, both
in EDglan and on the contirent.
In England, however, the use Of
