Bide here, whatever ART the wind may

The while an unseen artist subtly caught
The tawny field unspottsd by q stone.
The wandering sheep nay, even the herder's

And made the fields. the sheep, the man,
And she who saw the picture in the town
Thought for herself alone the gracious

Tho sheep were there. tho prairie was 50

That she might charm away an idle hour
But who wrote have caught the lady, too
Prisoned her in my verse; now all are

Invention of Gunpowder.

In paper read before the Shanghai
branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, Dr.
mcgowan alhrms the claims fthe Chi
nose to be the origi1ators Of gunpowder
and firearms. This claim was examined
in an elaborate paper some years ago by
the late Mr. Mayors, and decided by
him in the negative Dr. Mcgowan
admits that gunpowder as now used is a
European discovery Anterior to its
granulation by Schwartz it was a
crude compound, of little use in pro-
polling missiles; this, says the writer, is
the article first used in China The
incendiary materials stated by Greek
historian to have been employed by the
Hindoos against Alexandcr's army are
stated to have been merely the naphthous
or petroleum mixtures of the ancient
Coreans and in early times used by the
Chinese The stink pots so much
used by chinese pirates, arc, it appears,
a Cambodian invention. DIR. Mcgowan
states also that as early as the twelfth or
thirteenth century the Chinese attempted
submarine warfare, contrlving rude
torpedoes for that purpose. In the year
1000 an inventor exhibited t. the then
Emperor of China "a fre-gun and a
e-bomb." He says that while the
Chinese discovered the explosive nature
of inter, sulphur, and charcoal in
combination, they were laggards in its
application, from inability to perfect its
manufacture: so, in the use of firearms,
failing to prosecute experiment, they are
found behind in the matter of scientific
gunnery.

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1885-10-21

by his departure for Washington, set the
opponents of Mr.. Bascom to work Monday,
to head off the movement for his appoint
ment. So a telegram was forwarded by
several democrats to Washington, asking
delay in making the appointment until GER
could be furnished by mail In the after
noon mail the following letter, signed by
prominent democrats of Montpelier, was
forwarded to the President:
MONTPELIER, VT, October 10, 1885.
"To ne Non. Grover Ciere'ond, President Of the
"we the undersigned democrats citizens of Mont
pelier, VI, desire to express our opinion that f. II.
81 Mos T6qe S to as b
tration; that some other candidate would be more
Bascom's appointment would meet with the dsfavor
not only of the majority OF democratic patrons of
St T5 sr RSrs action S Re
matter may be postponed until information concern
ing certain facts and circumstances connected with
the subject may be impaired to you, which will be
done as speedily as possible"
With the above letter were enclosed a
certified copy of the court record, showing
that Mr.. Bascom had been convicted in the
supreme court of this state of four first
offences of violation of the state law in re-
gard to liquor-selling; certified copy OF
the indictment under which Mr.. Bascom is
now held, charging him with a second
offence for violating the same law, and
showing uildu Ine penalty, IL ColNlculoH was
obtained, would be fine and imprisonment
Also an affidavit showing Mr.. Bascom s
alleged encouragement of betting on his ap-
pontment.
1t is suggested that the democratic patrons
of the office may call meeting before the
end of the month, to select proper and de-
sirable candidate for postmaster, if change
is to be made in the office.
We have now given a statement of the
facts in this case, and without any partisan
coloring or bias. The WATCHMAN does no
propose to take part in controversies arising
among democrats over the distribution o
the spols. We did not help to put tn,
democratic administration into power, ant
we are quite willing that those who di,
should be made to assume their full share o
responsibility for its acts. Republican,
can afford to view the democratic bicker
ings and quarrels over the matter of film,

The Montpelier Post-Ofiice.

The post-ofiice matter in this place has as
sumed an interesting phase. One day last
week Hiram Atkins, who enjoys the fame of
being one of the bosses " of the Vermont
democracy, called on Postmaster Wing, and
stated that as the democratic leaders were
anxious to have all needed or expected
changes in the offices made before the meet
ing of congress, it would be timely act on
the part of Mr.. Wing to tender his resigna-
tion, to take effect as soon as the LIST of
January, as a change in the Office was GER
tain to be made Mr.. Wing quite plainly
intimated that he should not resign. Where
upon he was informed by Mr.. Atkins that
affidavits would be prepared showing that
he (the postmaster) had been guilty of acts
of " offensive partisanship," and that under
the rule established by the administration in
such cases his removal would probably soon
be effected. We learn that Mr.. Atkins has
gone to Washington to urge the immediate
removal of Mr.. Wing and the appointment
of Mr.. II. III. Bascom.
Mr.. Wing has more than three years to
serve before his commission expires. His
alleged acts of " offensive partisanship "
are so tritiing and inoifensive that this
plea is of course the veriest sham the only
reason for the change is that his office is
wanted by another. 1t is not pretended
that Postmaster Wing has not administered
the affairs of his office to the entire accept
ance of the public.
There has been quite strong feeling in
town among republicans, in which con-
siderable number of democrats have shared,
that Mr.. Wing should be allowed to hold the
office until his commission expires. The
democrats are by no means harmoni-
GUS on the question of selecting Mr..
Wings successor, and considerable
number of them are decidedly opposed to
the appointment of Mr.. Bascom. They
even claim that his hackers represent only
a minority of the party in Montpelier. The
unexpected action Of Mr.. Atkins, followed
