Ancient Weapons-
An exhibition of ancient and mod-
. ern weapons has been opened,at Bir
mingham.' They date froth the four
teenth century. Among them is a
breech loading air gun, made by Nook,
an Englishman, somewhere about
1360,which has seven barrels, all of
which explode with one blow of the
hammer. There is-also a beautiful
breech-loader,: bearing the name of
Aquafresca Borgia, 1694.' There' are
many exquisite breech-loading pistols
of ancient dates, with lgenious.. me-
chanicism, and’the first attempt at the
revolving principle, in the shape of a
double-barrelled gnn, the barrells
■ .urning: on a piy;6t: Many of the guns
have reservoirs in the stock foramina,
nition. One curiosity is a single bar
relled gnn to hold t.wo charges. One
charge was rammed home and sever
al wads inserted, after whi.h the oth
er charge was placed in Ihe barrel.
The top charge was exploded by a
hammer about a third of the way up
the ban-el, and a hammer -at the
breech then discharges the second.

Democratic by
Senate in its next session can have ■ Glynn.:. 328
but-a harmless Radical majority, and Liberty 393
in 1876 it also will be Democratic. In - Pierce...... 355
1877 a Democratic Pr sident will be 1
inaugurated, the country wholly re
deemed; the Southern States all truly
reconstructed.
For the present, the answer to the
question that forms the caption to this
article is very simple. A Democratic
House is powerless to perfect any pos
itive steps toward the reformation of
the government under the Constitu
tion. Hence, its duties must be prin
cipally negative; and it can effectually
retard the tendency of the dominant
party toward centralization, oppres
sion, extravagance and corruption.—
The duties will be rendered mnch less
arduous by the conservative efleets of
the recent victories over the adminis
tration party, for it has already evinced
a disposition to unload and accede to
the demands of the people. However,
its leaders are well versed in chicane
and villainy and need close watching.
It remains, then, tor the coming
government to perfect itself in the
science of government,—in that true
statesmanship which the country now
so much needs. We must acquaint
ourselves' with the present govern,
meut in all its details as well as in its
more salient features,—see in what it
has committed wrong or erred;—con
sider wuat the remedy shall be, and
the best and most expeditious way to
carry it out. As nine years were spent
in securing the greatest of political tri
umphs, we have rw two years in
which to devise the most cffictna;
mcar s of securing and perpetuating
the results of the victory. Let us
Therefore, think, and go slo-v.
We have virtually captured (lie
ship from the pirates who have pil
laged the ship and,are letting it go to
pieces,—steadily and quietly let the
victor crew take their places; put her
head toward the harbor of safety; and
eve long, repaired and refitted, sbe
will be able to buffet the storms of
time. ' . •' -
Above nil, let nshave no wild scram
ble for the spoils of office, which may
soon end in disorganization and shame
ful defeat; no protection of thieves
and murderers because their influence
may be secured to perpetuate party
