EARLY GUNPOWDER MANUFACTURE
Waltham Abbey Mills are probably
the oldest in Great Britain. They must
have been established about the middle
of the sixteenth century, for we know
that before that time nearly all the
powder used IN England was imported
from the Continent But in 1861 we
heard of John Thomworth, of Wal
than, buying as agent for Queen Eliza
beth, saltpeter, sulphur and slaves for
making barrels. In the following cen
fury the parish register shows entries
of deaths resulting from explosions az
the mills and Fuller, who was rector
of Waltham, alludes in one of his
works to the dangers of the manufac-
ture, remarking that the mills were
blown mp FIVE times during the seven
years of his residence ia the parish.
The only wonder is, that explosions
were not far more frequent in the old
factories, where the elaborate precau-
tions now adopted we're utterly IN
known. Powder was allowed to accu-
mulate in heaps on the floor. spirits of
vine was used instead of water to mois-
ten the ingredients, under the impress
sion that 1t made better and stronger
powder, and the drying process was
effected 10y heating the powder on metal
plates over fire without any means Of
regulating the temperature. Finally,
oil the work-roOms were close together.
and often under a single roof, so that.
IT the powder in one room exploded,
that in the rest would follow, like
boys train of crackers.

THR OrEEy OF An SEwIy6J MAcHI

TEE QUEEN OF ALL SEWING MACHINES.
In speaking OF the merits of the Wilson
shuttle sewing machine, it is sufficient for US
to say that we think the invention Of this ma
chine marks one OF the most important eras in
the history OF this country and when we con-
slider the Influence it has upon the social we'll
being of the masses. it is difficult to conceive
Of an invention OF more Importance. 1t has a
beautiful, nOiseless movement it makes the
genuine 'lock-stich alike on both sides, and
does to perfection all kinds OF plain and fire
sewing; it needs no commendation its rapid
sales, the increasing demand, and the many
fiattering testimonials from thOse who have
used it, is sufficient proof Of its merits. The
want Of a sewing machine is deeply felt IN
every household, and as the Wilson shuttle
sewing machine, on account OF its extreme
simplicity and less cost of manufacture, is sold
at much lower price than all other first-class
machines, it is meeting with the extensive
patronage that it SO justly deserves. Machines

Ga the occasion when the sultan was to
receive him as guest, the grand stair
case and the corridor leading to the
audience room was, in anticipation of
the arrival Of the shah, ordered to be
laid with heavy Smyrna rugs studded
all over with diamonds, emeralds, and
sapphires, so that the royal visitor was
obliged to tread under his feet the evil
dences of greatness which he wore on
his head. The sultan received him as
he stepped upon the staircase in
plain dress, wearing his usual
simple fez of scarlet cloth, and
without personal ornament of any
kind. A neat bit of sarcasm for

TRY NAus.-We have taken the
trouble, in extensive trips over the
country to make some inquiries about
certain fruit trees which attracted at
tention on account of their thrift and
fruit bearing qualities. They were
fresh and vigorous, while all around the
other trees were decaying or dead. In
nearly every case it turned out tina ten
penny nails had been driven into the
body as near the ground as possible.
Trees selected at random and treated in
this way always turned ont to be
healthy, vigorous and excellent fruit
bearers, producing the NEST luscious
fruit. The reason why the worm viii
not attack the tree is because the oxyda-
ton or rusting of the iron by the sap
envolves ammonia, which, as the sap
arises, will of course impregnate every
part of the foliage, and prove too dras-
tic dose for the delicate palates of in
truding insects. The salt OF iron
afforded by the nails is extremely offens-
i've to the worms, while it is not only
harmless but beneficial to the foliage
and fruit of the tree.--RsLrdl CdrolinSan

THE MILITIA MOVING.

A company of the Mississippi State
militia left jackson for Edwards depot,
by a wagon road, on the morning of the
ninth, guarding wagons Of ordnance
stores. The Democratic press notices the
fact with heavy head lines, and is telling
the people that "war of races" is about
to begin, and that Governor Ames and
his "white henchmen" are the authors, on
whom condign punishment should be Wis
tied. 1t is evident that the long expected
crisis will soon eliminate. 1t is soon to
be demonstrated whether the madness,
the folly and the treason of the Missis-
sippi Democracy shall prevail unchecked,
or receive curb that it properly de-
serves. No Republican has desired this

initiation for Mississippi, disgrace to
the country, But the rights of citizen
ship, the law and good order, are we'll

counsel prevails truce may be had, al

press indicates NO such peaceful motive.
