Antiquity of GunpOWder.

The first application of Gunpowder to
the firing of artillery, had been commonly
ascribed to the English at the battle oi
Cressy, August 1916; but hitherto this fact
has depended almost solely on the evi-
dence of a single Italian writer, coupled
with the circumstance that the word '.gun-
ners'' has been met with in some public
accounts of the reign of Edward Ill. Up
on this point, the Rev. J. Hunter has late
ly communicated to the Society of Anti
quaries some new and curious particulars,
derived from records of the period, show
ing the very names of the persons employ
ed in the manufacture of gunpowder, (out
of saltpetre and "quick sulphur - as it was
called, without any mention of charcoal,
and the quantities supplied to the King jus
previously to his expedition to France, In
June or July, 1916. In the records, it is
termed putUis pro inge,ais; and they es'
tablish that considerable weight has been
supplied to the English army subsequent
ly to its landing at La Hogue, and previous
ly to the battle of Cressy; and that before
Edward Ill. engaged in the seige of Ca.
lais, he issued an order to the proper off
GERS in England, requiring them to pur
chase as much saltpetre and sulphur as
| they could procure.

Pleasure Of Rrading.

Of all the amusements that can possibly
be imagined for a working man, after his
daily tolls or in the intervals, there is moth
ing like reading newspaper or book
1t calls for no bodily exertion, of which
already he has had enough, perhaps toe
much. 1t relieves his home of its dull
ness. Nay, it accompanies him to his
next days work, and gives him something
thing to think of besides the mere mechan.
ical drudgery of his every day occupations
something he can enjoy while absent, and
look forward to with much pleasure. Ii
| were to pray for taste which would
stand by me under every variety of cir
cumstances, and be source of happines:
and cheerfulness to me through life, and Z
shield against all its ills, however thing:
might go amiss, and the world frown up
on me, it would be taste for reading
HerscheH.

An Old Trick i'm q New WaV.

During the past few days, the following
circumstance has been the general topic of
conversation in the village of Horton. On
Tuesday week one of the inhabitants, who
has long boasted of superior wit and wis
dom, and who in his trading transactions
has always exhibited considerable de-
gree OF Jealousy and suspicion, TOOK it into
his head to attend the fair which is held
annually at Wibsey. He had not BEEN
long on the ground before he was accosted
in a familiar style by pretended sold
FRIEND" who offered him ten shillings if
he would purchase for himself a horse,
which he pointed out to him. The pros
pect of snugly pocketing the half-sovereign
induced this sapient individual to comply
with his request. The stipulated price
was to be gl4, and no more; and after a
good deal of bantering the bargain was
struck at that sum exactly. The purcha-
ser not being possessed at that moment of
paying for it, and his ''friend'' not being
just then at hand, he proceeded to Horton,
and borrowed three five pound notes of
neighbor, with which he returned to Wib-
sey. The householder was readily found,
and as readily was the money paid. A
mother man (evidently an accomplice) was
then requested to 60 and deliver him the
horse; but on going to the stable, the ami
NAL could nowhere be found. He then
returned to the place where he had left the
horse dealer, and discovered that he also
had decamped. Filled with vexation and
chagrin at being thus defrauded of both his
horse and the money, he flew to the place
where he had appointed to meet his
s.friend,' and, alas! to his additional grief,
he found that he had also deceived him and
made himself scarce; and, as climax to
the whole, the sovereign he had received
III change out Of the notes, upon examina-
ton, turned out to be counterfeit.-Eng-

Iron Cinder Roads.

A correspondent of the National Intelli-
gencer, says that this article surpassed all
materials for the construction of roads, the
particles being too heavy to be moved by
the wind; and after rain they rust and
cement together, and by use become per-
fectly smooth and solid, and will endure
for length of time. He suggests that
the middle of the avenue, not paved instead
of gravel, should be covered with iron Gin
der, which would make complete finish,
at little more cost than the gravel, and sur
pass all other roads or streets in this or
any other country.
AS we know a little about such kind oi
roads, we presume that the furnace ashes
are meant in the above. They do make
hard, compact road, after having been
well trod, rolled and pounded. But with
coarse ashes for an underlayer and sitfed
ashes above them to the depth of six in
ches, then pound the whole well down,

The editor of the New York Mirror

forts the new Administration:
"We do not belong to the family of the
Croakers. We are, by nature, sanguine
hopeful, and confident to a fault. Yet we
cannot shut from our mind the painful
truth, nor see as though we saw not, the
present indications that the Administrator
is in danger of being in the minority iii the
lower House at the next session of Con.
gress. Virginia is lost within the fraction
|of a single member; the only man claim
ed by the Wings, in name, is said to have
in his composition nine parts of Locofo-

Conservative State of Connecticut must
now be ranked with the opposition, al
lie asst in the Councils of the nation, and we
apprehend a similar result will follow the
election in the State of Maryland.
In the next Congress there is already a
majority against the Administration on
joint ballot, and we greatly fear that the
Executive will find himself in the minority
in the House. If so, will the Cabinet
surrender, or fight! In the emphatic lam
guage of the venerable editor of the Union,
