The following extract from the first chap

our ancestors. 1t shows the condition in
which Caesar found them in tho year 55
before Christ:
The ancient Brtons were barbNrous in
the extreme; they lived in circular huls,
conical roofs, pierced in the center, for the
purpose OF admitting light, and dischar-
ging smoke they adorned their fingers and
neck with rings and chains; and pain
ted and punctured their bodies, that their
appearance might be more horrible in war.
For the most part they were unucquOinted
with agrCultuiC; they raised but little corn,
subsistng principally on flesh and milk, and
clothing themselves in the skins of animals
which had been killed for food, The only
article ofcommerce they possessed was tin,
which they exchanged for salt, earthen'
ware, aud brass.

United States NIuSkets.

The Unied States Government have
been constructing great heavy muskets,
with hard moving, stiff locks tor 80 years
or more, at their armories, with very lit.
tie mproyement-and at an expense of
twelve TO thireen dollars each. The
Mexican war brought wildly 10 the no.
tice of the Government fact known and
often commented on in the war Of 1918
that the muSkets were too long, heavy,
and unsuited to our country and climate.
The writer, in 1914 was an officer, and
has seen the men often fall with fatigue,
produced by carrying the old United
States musket Of hot summer day.
The contracts are all completed, and a
million muskets are in the arsenals. A
large portion of'tan have been given to
the State authorizes, for the arming of the
miIitia-who can't use them, for the rea-
sons stated. Some thousand have been
sold by "Uncle Sam" at $2 piece, and
the rest must now be sacrificed at the
same price; thus Government has expen-
ded ten millions in muskets, and alter all,
the muskets are being condemned and
sold as unfit Tor use.
New muskets must now be prepared
light and short, with PERCUSSION locks and
patent caps-and half a million is the
smallest number that will be required -
Here, then, is work enough for the gun.
smith for the next five years.
The European armies are now supplied
with the light, short muskets, with all the
Improvements, enabling them to fire three
times as fast as the old soldier can do
with the hard locked, old U. S. muskets ;
and no doubt this fact has prompted the
changes in the construction of Govern,
ment musketS. M.

"ln the twelfth hour the glory Of God,

Business Prospects.

Present indications seem to warrant that
the ensuing season will be one of unusual
activity, in the Dry Goods trade particu-
larly. The most of our merchants have
received their Spring supplies, and their
purchases have been extensive; they can
without doubt supply the public with any
thing they may want, and on favorable
terms. To those who are doing limi-
ted business and are solicitous of incrcaing
and extendingt, we have a few words
to say. Aduertise your business in the
papers, in order thatthe people may know
what your are doing, and whatyouhaye to
sell. This is the only true and sure way
of insuring speedy success. There is a
numberof gentlemen about town engaged
in trade, who might very materially ex-
tend their business, and thereby greatly
benefit themselves, " and The rest Of
mankind" if they would only exercise as
much prudence and Sagasity in Informing
the public Of their whereabouts and what
they are doing, as they do in their busi-
ness transactions at home. They may,
prehaps sell their goods as cheap as those
who advertise, but the people, to great
extent, consult the advertising columns of
newspaper, and whoever is found offer
ing the greatest inducements, is morally
certain TO secure their trade. A man at
this age of the world who expects to do
business must "stir his stumps," " andkcep
the public well posted up regard to what
be is doing and of his place of business.
In proof Of this assertion, We would
merely refer to those who advertise COM
pare their business with that of those who
are too stingy to ever expend dime in
making their business known, and the
difference will beapparent We circulate
= large number of papers in all parts OF
the County, and among all classes. 1t
il. therefore, valuable medium for adj
ycrtising, Let each one then, who de-
slrcs TO do business wake up to their true
interest, and bring on their advertisements,
informing the public of what they have
70 sell, and We will warrant them good
business in less than six months. Try It
once. FH
