T. Hunting for game was practiccd with
| bow and arrow only until in the six
teenth century, the Spaniards contrived
the arquebus or matchbox. Here the
T match was fitted to 'tserpentine'' or
cock, hung upon pivot, and brought
into contact with the priming by a
1 working substantially the same as that
I of. the modern hammer and trigger.
This was further improved by the Ger
man invention of q steel wheel with
serrated edge, fitted to q spring, and
made to reyolve rapidly, the edge COM
ing in contact with a piece of pyrites,
and by this friction producing the
sparks to ignite the printing The use
of the wheel lock for sporting purposes
was very general in the middle Of the
sixteenth century, and for q long time
was not improved upon.
But necessity is the mother of inven-
ton. A band of Dutch chicken stealers,
or of Spanish marauders--it is disputed
which--being too poor to provide them
selves with the high priced wheel lock,
and afraid to use the matchbox, be-
cause its light revealed their wherea-
bouts to the minions of the law, alb
stained from their evil practices long
enough to devise a weapon better
adapted TO the needs of roost robbers.
The result was the flint lock; and the
pot-hunting fraternity scored long
credit mark. The sportsmen of our
grandfathers' generation owed the me-
! chanism of their guns to a band of
poultry thieves; there is yet hope for
the colored brother.
The flint lock reached its perfection
in the hands of s.that king of gum
makers, Joseph Manton, in the early
part of the present century, and il

first placed above the Illuminating pow

sion of an iron plunger struck by
cock. Then this pfunger was dispensed
with, and the illuminate was simply
placed in the flash pan. The successive
steps, are familiar to almost all gunners:
the printing was placed between two

"A Good Memory.
The late James T. Fields possessed q
remarkable memory. Some years ago
q gentleman, thinking to puzzle him al
a dinner party. informed the guests
prior to Mr.. Fields arrival that lie had
himself written some poetry. and in
tended to submit it to Mr.. Fields rs
Southeyrs, and inquire in which one
of his poems the lines occurred. At the
proper moment, therefore, after the
guests were seated, he began: "Friend
Fields, have been q good, deal exer-
cised of late in irving to find in South
ey's poems his well-known lines running
thus-can you tell us what time he
wrote themP'' II do not remem Der to
have met with them before" replied
Mr.. Fields, "and there were only two
periods in Southey's life when such
lines could have been written by him."
when were thoseP" asked the witty
questioner. Somewhere" said Mr.,
Fields. "about that early period of his
existence when he was having the
measles. and cutting his first teeth; or
near the close of his life, when his brain
had softened and he had fallen into
itliocy. The versitication belongs to
the measles period, but the expression
evidently betrays the idiotic one"

man case were continued yesterday
the court room being crowded with
spectators who were entertained
with a good deal Of very lively tests
mony regarding the actions of the
defendant and the wife of the plain
tiff. Severa, witnesses swore that
Westerman paid very marked atten.
tion to Mrs. Silvernail from the time
her husband took the Carver House.
Others declared that the defendant
was a constant visitor to the lady's
room at all hours of the day and
night, and that they had several
times seen the couple kiss each other.
One lady witness swore to being in
the lady's room, helping her to dress,
when the defendant entered. Not.
withstanding the fact that the wife
was en- deshabille, she did not request
the defendant to withdraw but, on
the other hand, he remained and The
witness retired. The testimony
tor the plaintiff was closed by prov
ing that the defendant was possess.
ed of fortune of $l65, 900, and that
he was amply able to heal the injur.
ed husbands wound by paying the
heavy damages for which the suit

patent OF peerage was granted max
ing the dukedom descend to his
daughters in succession, with the
remainder to their sons he died a
disappointed man. The only son Of
ms eldest daughter died without
issue ,and hence the dukedom passed
to the son OF his second daughter
who had married Spencer, Earl of
sunderland. From him the present
Duke ls descended. AS Lord
Sunderland married the Marlborough
heiress bis father left the patrimoni-
al Spencer estates to his Younger
son John. This John was the bet
grandson of the termaganL old
Duches Sarah, whose will made him
about the richest commoner in point

thus a large share of the Marl~
borough boards were diverted from
the dukedom. None of the Dukes of
Marlborough except the first have
been men OF mark, unless for bad
qualities, except the present peer,
who ia very respectable man, and
none of them have married money,
One or two Of them have been

not care for fine books himself, and
feels sure that his heir cares Tor

better to turn them into cash. The
library at Blenheim cannot compare
with that at Althorpe, belonging
to his kinsman, Lord Spencer,
which ls the finest private collection
in England. 1t was chiefly formed
by the grandfather of the present

Wealth, Luxury and Beauty.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher deliv-
cred new lecture in Brooklyn Satur-
day evening. The subject was "The
Moral Demands Of Luxury, Beauty and
Wealth." He denies that a religious
and Christian life demands the mega
tions of pleasure, and afirms that there
are appetites and passions of the soul
that must be satisfied. He has DO sym.
pathy with the notion that sorrow is
nearer Heaven than Joy. The men who
possess wealthy, be contends, have duties
incumbent upon them that they cannot
escape, and he admonlshes them not so
to live that their lite will be that only
of selfish enjoyment, but that they be-
come benefactors to their race.

Pecan Nuts.

Before the civil war the exports of
pecan nuts from Indianola, Texas,
were reported at $1,000 now it is
estimated that the amount annually
gathered exceeds 50, 100000 in value.
No care, however, has been taken of
the trees in fact, in many localities,
trees fifty to one hundred years old,
have been cut down to secure the nuts.
With proper care of the trees and sys-
tematic gathering of the crop it is be-
lleved that $40, 900, 900 could be an.
nually realized.
