A Western exchange says, " A great crowd
assembled at Fort Wayne (Iudiana) Railroad
Station to witness the arrival of the first new
fast train on the Pennsylvania Road to ChIca-
60 1t made the last sixty-fve miles in eighty
minutes, arriving two minutes ahead of time
although it had taken ten minutes to come the
last mile"
This is the fastest &c train time on record,
showing about mile minute for sixty hive
miles. For speed, comfort and dispatch In all
that pertains to railroad facility this country can
challenge the world.

dence Cumberland Iron Works, in that State,
on Friday last. Since his defeat in the presl;;
Dental campaign of 1860, Mr.. Bell has lived
in % the retiracy Of private life, and the mighty
upheavai n of civil war mantled him with the
curtain of oblivion. That he was great man
and statesman, as were our great men and
statesmen in the untred times OF peace, can
not be gainsayed, but he proved inadequate to
the requirements Of latter-day statesmen and
went down forgotten by the people.

GUNPOwDER.-T time of the origin of
this valuable composition seems to be involved
in hopeless obscurity. 1t doubtless was known
to the Chinese and HindOOs at a very early
period. History speaks of a people whom
Alexander the Great declined to attack because
they overthrow their enemies with tempests
and thunderbolts shot from their walls" 1t is
said that Hercules was repulsed by these peo-
pie with storms OF thunderbolts and light
nings hurled from above" This language
would seem to imply the use of an agency
similar to gunpowder. However, its invention
has been attributed to German monk and al
chemist of the fourteenth century, named
| Schwartz but there are works which allude
| to gunpowder as a composition in use previous
! to his day Gunpowder is composed Of nitre
charcoal, and sulphur. The charcoal for this
purpose is made from the twigs of the black
dogwood, black alder, or the willow 1t is
charred in closed retorts of cast iron at a low
temperature. The sulphur and nitre are re-
fined to point of almost absolute purity; and
all the ingredients are ground into very fine
fpowder and bolted. The different sorts are
then weighed in proportions, moistened with
water, and taken to mill and ground between
immensely heavy rollers of cast iron, which re
| vove on circular cast-iron bed having woOdeI
sides. 1t is in this grinding process that thos'
fearful accidents occur. Should a particle o
grit get into the mill, the result is likely to b.
!; an explosion. When taken out of the mill, i
is put in press and subjected to immens
3 pressure. After this, it is broken and granu
: lated by being passed between futed rollers
/, over selves which have a shaking motion. Th
corners of the grains are next worn off, to pre-
vent loss from dust while in transportation
!; This is done by revolving quantity in a tuml
e ling barrel, in which it is also glazed by havin
? the barrels lined with woolen. Drying 0
g sheets completes the process.
