GUNPoWDER IN EARLY AGES.

With reference to the early use of gunpOwder and firearms, long before the popularly accepted but erroneous date of gunpowder discovery, General Joseph Wheeler, United States army, in lecture a short time ago before the Franklin institute, remarked that in many localities in China and India the soil is impregnated with nitre, and the probable discovery of gunpowder there. many centuries before the Christian era, may be explained in this way: All cooking at that time wss by wood fires, and the people lived in tents asd huts with earth for their floors.
 Countless fires made of wood upon ground strongly impregnated with nitre must have existed every day, and when such fires were extinguished a portion of the wood must have been converted into charcoal, some of which would of necessity, become mixed with the nitre in the soil. By this means two of the most active ingredients of powder were brought together and it is very natural that when another fire was kindled on the same spot flash might follow This would lead to in vestigation, and then the manufacture of gunpowder was conceived. Whether this be true or not there is abundant evidence that the origin of gun powder and artillery goes far back in the dim ages of the past.

An UnhOIy Comparison.

The speech of the Hen. Henry Ash urst, the morning aui evening star of democracy in Cocouiuo county, delivered at McCabe on the occasion of the celebration of Labor Day, was for the most part very beautiful one, and sparkled with many gems of pure and noble thought, but the whole thing was made ridiculous by the following gust of very decidedly hot atmosphere thrown at that arch demagogue and chief of yellow journ alism, Little Billy Hearst:
 'Let not his bitterest enemy deny to him the name and fame of the greatest friend of the laboring people since Jesus walked the waves of Cali lee and suffered in the garden of Gethsemane.
 O, ye gods! Has it come to this: That the meek and lowly Jesus, who went about doing good and teaching all mankind to love one another and to live in peace, should be compared to a man like Hearst, whose greatest ambitation on earth seems to be to set himself up as great dictator and to constantly stir up strife and turmoil between the classes of the country that HE might profit thereby.

TO COLUMBUS.

For the children. By s. NJ. Wright. One day long. long time ago, ] 4 good man took notion That he would rig little boat
 And sail across the ocean.
 But how to get the little boat
 Was what he could not master, ! For ev'ry time he laid a plan
 It fell into disaster.
 Our hero lived in Italy,
 But took trip to Spain, And then he thought of Isabelle, ! The queen, and tried again. She thought it quite novelty And grand as it could be To find another continent Away across the sea.
 But when they undertook the task,
 They could not raise the money. The scheme was quite unpopular
 And anything but funny. Then Isabelle "got on her ear''
 And Ferdinand said Don't" 1 But when a woman will, she will And when she won't, she won't ] She took her bracelets from her arms ] And jewels from her ears And told Columbus to brace up
 And quiet all his fears. She brought the fogy king to time 1 And made him draw his purse 1 And that he hated bad enough, But selling jewels worse. And thus Columbus got three boats, i The Pinta and two more, Then bid his friends good bye and sailed ! To find the other shore. And so he sailed and sailed and sailed, | To find this Yankee land, Until the sailors got afraid; They didn't have the sand But sirs He managed all the men; He knew just what to do And found this glorious country boys, In fourteen ninety two. But when he'd made about three trips 'TwiXt Yankee land and SpaIn, The Spaniards put him in a jail
 And tied him with a chain. 1t seems that people could not be
 So cruel should they try To keep this noble man in jail,
 Then free him but to die. But boys, we'll celebrate this day
 And laud his praises high, For when Columbus died of grief,
 He died for you and l. We'll raise our grand and glorious

It Didn't Work.

A few nights ago while inspecting some men at the Santa Fe depot that were to be sent up the line to work, Antonio Sierra, the popular inspector for the local immigration department, created quite little amusement in inspecting one man. The contract called for the shipment of married men as the single men would not stay with job as long as the married men.
 One Mexican made application and was turned down, as it appeared that he was not married man. He agreed to prove that he was married and pro- duced a woman who he claimed to be his wife. Mir. Sierra had learned, however, that the man had borrowed the woman from another Mexican and to cinch him told him that if the woman was his wife he should hug and kiss her, to which the applicant for the job was willing, but the right ful husband of the woman appeared on the scene and called a halt.-Al- buQuerque Citizen.
