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. Tha N.-xiOongp.si-.

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.
