pleased to state that not one

on other avocations or employ

for unity of action and organiza.
ton on the part of farmers for
their mutual aid protection. He
showed that there was a neces-
sity for this, and mentioned es-
pecially the combination of cap
italists, OF railroads, or
manufactures, but desired
quail taxation upon all and
even handed Justice to shipper
and carrier, manufacturer and
consumer.
He favored supervision OF
railroads, but not oppression.
lie was opposed to exempting
corporations from taxation, on
The same principle that the
poorest man in the land should
not bo exempt from contribu

had been afraid to approach 1t
because a spirit Of fierce aspect
had been seen looking out Of

Commissioners, however, are
bold men. not deferred by such
trifles, and they determined to
reach It. Situated as it was
among tho fastnesses of one of
the glens of Mount Ararat, IL

Effecting an entrance into the
structure, which was painted

niralty requirements for the
conveyance of horses had been
carried out, and the interior was
divided into partitions fifteen

History of Gunpowder.

A writer in the North China
Herald on the history of gun
powder in China asserts that
this explosive was known In the
seventh century OF our era.
The alchemist of tho Han dy-
nasty, aud subsequently in the
fourth anfi following centuries,
worked with saltpeter and sui.
phur, as well as cinnabar, red
oxide of lead, and other common
compounds. But In the seventh
century we find gunpowder
used to make a cracking sound.
and to afford an agreeable sight
to tho court of Sui Yangti, the
emperor Of. that time. The
earlist exhibitions of fireworks
mentioned in Chinese history
belong to that date. The sub
stances used in the composition
OF gunpowder are all native to
China, and the writer appears to
prove conclusively that the
Arabs derived the art of fire.
works. making, as well as gun
powder, from the Chinese. The
discovery once made, the Chi.
nese alchemists, owing to the
badness oftheir hypothesis and
the futility of their aims, were
slow at Improvement. But the
doctors of the Arab colonies in
China carried to Bagdad the
germs OF the Chinese discoy-
eries, and there they were
! elaborated into new forms. In
short, in many arts and sciences
the Arabs learned from China
and, assisted by HISTORIANS,
Jews aud Greeks, improved on
what they learned. In course
of years, cannon, matchlocks
and shells for use in sieges
, were brought to China from
. Mohammedan countries. There
are faint traces in the eleventh
century Of rudo firearms; in the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries
{ the records of their use in The
. Chinese wars became frequen
, and distinct. The Mogol Tar
