the different mixtures coming in contact ignite the

water-chamber contained in the machine, produces
steam, and the whole escapes forth in dense, eK-

To return TO our own local Department, there Is
nothing which more astonishes those acquainted with

although in that alone there has been a vast i'm

A thorough ignoramus the other day made
silly effort in The ~ Y. Herald to refute Ban
croft assertion, sttributing to slavery the down
fall of the Roman Empire. According to the
philosopher of the Satanic, it was Christianity
that did it, as the Christians did not fight IN
defense of the crumbliDg state. He seems to
forget that, as early as the Antonines and under
them, there were Christians in the Imperial
legions; Christians under the lGbarHm fought and
won the battle of Constantine against his pagan
competitor. When atterward the northern
races and tribes penetrated to the south and
reached the heart of the empire in Italy, Gallia,
Spain, as they did the Danube in the east more
than three.fOuIths of the populations in those
countries were Christians, and Christian Empe-
rors ruled in Byzantum and Rome. Nay, the
destroyers of Rome themselyes-the Nandals,
the Goths-were Christians of the sect of Aryis,
or Unitarians of that epoch. Christianity, to be
sure, overthrow the Roman Empire, but not be-
cause the Christians did not fight, but because
Christianity proclaimed to mankind the emancl-
patton from mental, material and when well un-
derstood, from social oppression and slavery
Christianity must therefore have destroyed a
society rotten to the core from the ADORE
famed evils. But, after all, tits not to be sup
posed that the Satanic should understand and
appreciate the spirit of Christianity.

dom of the Rrlssan people. Whether the act
was in itself ?. wise one, and we'll calculated to
attain the end desired, may safely be question
ed. Last century England thought it incam-
bent on her to fight her colonies: she was beat
en-, ard now thanks Heaven 1t WAS SO. Had
she been successful she would not have been
nearly 60 great nation as she is. AZ the be-
ginning OF this century, the same England
thought her safety depended on her crushing
Napoleon, aud this time she succeeded The
consequence has been grioding debt on her
own people, and intermittent periods of tyranny
and revolution on the continent ever since.
On both occasions she was clearly wrong. 1t
is quite worth inquiring whether she may not
be wrong again. If Russia had been allowed
to seize Turkey, the chances are very great
that her ruin would have followed. Seduced
by the charm of genial climate. and habits OF
oriental luxury, the Russian aristocracy would
have deserted St. Petersburg and Moscow for
Constantinople, and in spite of all the efforts Of
the Cars the capital of the empire would have
been removed to the shores of the Dardanelles.
From that day Russia would have ceased to be
European Power. No nation has ever been
trapsplanted with success. Removed from the
SHOWS and wilds in which the Muscovites have
grown to strength and might, and settled in
the gorgeous plains Of Turkey, the Russian
character would have lost its nerve, and would
insensibly have assimilated to that Of the
Turk. A residence Of one century and half
at Byzantium enfeebled and destroyed the Ro-
man empire; the empire Of the Czars, torn from
its native home, and planted on the same soil,
would inevitably have met the like fate. Ma
tions are like individuals; half their lives are
spent in search of objects which are ruin ,us
when attained, or in trying to avert seem.
ing dangers which are really benefits in dis
guise.
