A HAMULI HOUND II IK ROYAL
ARSENAL.
A flu. it time aj?o I was sitting over a pro
longed breakfast at my dub In St. JarmV, help
ing my diRestton with the morning paper, wuou
my eye was attt acted by a grand doflcriptton of
the vlnit to Woolwich ot none distinguished
foreign princes, whj were the "lions" of the
season, pro (cm.
There was the usual grand review, and Intri
cate manoeuvring, helped out, I have no doubt,
by clouds of smoke. Ccnoral This took the
command, ably assisted by Captain That, with
half a dozen letters after bis name. Splendid
sight 1 eallopinsc of hoise artillery ! firing of big
guns! tbou-aud of spectators ! and so on, fol
lowed by a ewcll lunch at tho H. A. mess, and
afterwards a '-minute Inspection'' (tnat was the
term) ol the Royal Arsenal.
Now, I bad oiien wished to see the wonderful
machinery, and the other attractions of that
remarkable place; and, curiously cnoub, I had
that yery mornirg lecelvcd a most pressing In
vitation from my old College chum, Bob ,
now quartered at Woolwich, to pay him a visit
for that very purpose, mid, as ho expressed
himself, "to the tning entirely." He liegijed
mo to lose no lime, as ho was about to retire
from the service, but to take tne one o'clock
train from London Hridiie that very day. No
thing loth, after a good lunch to prepare me for
the labors before me, I took my ticket for the
Arsenal 8tatlon, by the North' Kent rail wav,
and was &oon look in? down chimneys arid
flawing through many unpleasnnt odors, seated
n a not over-comfoitable carriage.
The open co'intiy we never readied; and all
the way down the line the natives seo'iicd to be
busily engaged in bricks and n.ortar, as If Lou
don were not lame enough, and no time should
be lost in doub ing its size. Arrived at my des
tination, I iuh rny spruce military iriond,
- whewe warm gTettioc was rather too much lor
my lavender kios, the pipe-day from his regi
mental gloves leaving a very decided mark upon
them.
(Query, why do military men still so delieht
In pipe-clay 'can no substitute be found ior
that obnoxious dust?)
As we emerged from the station, a stream
of men and boys were all hurrying tn one
direction; these were the workmen going back
to the Arsenal alter their dinner. We joined the
crowd, which was Increasing every moment
srom every by-street, liko a river making its
way to the sea; and proceeding in the direction
ot a bell which was loudly ringing-, we found
ourselves in a wide open square, covered by a
mass ot human beings, steering lor a pair of
large iron gates. Loud cries from itinerant
venders of apples, nuts, etc., rang through the
air; and aiy friend seizin me by the arm, we
were carried by the throng throueh the gate
way, and emerged almost breathless on
the other side. Here we paused to re
cover. Bob arraneed his uniform, aud aereed
with mo that another time, perhaps, it would
be better to ecter either belore or alter the
workmen.
We saw the crowd Inside diverp;lnar in opposite
directions, taking the various roads which led
to their several workshops; and, whilst waiting
for the men to commence their work, Bob gave
me the history ot the spot upon which we stood.
"Long, lone ago. a dense iorest extended
from Shooter's Hill down to the river, close
to the ' fishing hamlet of Woolwich, part ot
which was, bv some ancient speculator, turned
Into a rabbit-warren (the street close by is still
railed Warren Lane), and no one seems to have
had any idea as to its future greatness till the
year 1716, when a sad accident occurred at the
Royal Cannon Foundry at Mooretields, in Lon
don. Somo captured French guns were being
melted down and recast; and a abort time previ
ous to the lurnace bung tapped, a Swiss German
officer named Schalch saw thatthe moulds were
damp, and infomied the superintendent of
it: he was, - however, only laughed at for his
pains ; but the metal on entering the moulds
was blown in every direction; the building was
destroyed, and several of those present per
ished at the time. Schalch was now inquired
for by the Government, and requested to select
a site lor a new foundry further from town;
aud he pitched upon the Warren, at Woolwich.
Suitable buildings were soon erected, and the
successtul Schalch placed In charge, where he
remained lor many years. Such was
the beginning of the Royal Arsenal,
which has gradually grown so as to cover
300 acies of ground, and to cive employment to
6000 nien and boyp, agisted by the iabors of
upwards of 100 steam-encrines. It was the Cri
mean war, however, which extended the
Arsenal to its present size. Economy had re
duced our warlike stores to the lowest possible
ebb, and tberetore, when the emergency arose,
the augmentation was all the greater, and
15,000 men and boys worked day and night to
supply the missiles for Sebastopol.
"Mr. Gladstone has now brougbtthe numbers
down to barely 5000, many ot whom are pen
sioned solah rs. They arc a well-conducted and
orderly body of men, never having a strike or
combination against tbeir employers, and earn
ing good average wasres, mostly by plce-work.
Tney are drawn from all parts of the country:
the common laborers being principally Irian,
and the more skilled artisans Scotch. Tliey are
obliged to be under forty years of age before
their admission, and are kept very strictly down
- to certain rules and regulations. For instance,
s man may absent himself from his work lor
twenty hours in a month, without any fault
being found with htm; but if he takes
mote he is liable to be discharged. They
lave fifty-six working hours in the week;
and when from pressure of bniness these
are extended, they receive half as much pay
again for the overtime. During the Crimean
war. they olten worked throughout two nights
in the week in adoiiion to tho uual day labor,
"Aa soon as a man le engaged, three metal
tickets, with a number upon each.are given htm.
The hrst one havin? enly tils number upon it;
the second one mark additional; the third two
marks; so, on coming to his work at six In the
morniug, he leaves his tirst ticket: on his re
turn alter breakfast, the second; after dinner,
the thiid; and before going home at nieht a boy
comes round and restores hi three tickets
again.
"Ibe ticket-clerk keeps a record ofeachman;
ann in this manner a late-comer, or an absentee
is easily detected."
By this time there were only a few stragglers
to pe seen; we followed the direetiou of the
larger stream, and saw them pouring through a
doorway into their factory, each man deposit
ing, at a little pay-wicket, the aforesaid ticket.
We first looked into an old-fashioned building,
the delight of our friend Schalch, nianv yeirs
ago (where the brass guns were cast' before
Armstrong was heard of); and a beautiful sight
it must have been to see the bronze metal pnur
Ing and seething into the upright moulds,
changing its color every minute ! Now, alas!
the glory ot this building 1 departed. Brass
has given way to steel, and nothintr but a few
insignificant castings mark the spot so much
esteemed in bygone days.
Passing on to the next doovway which was
opened to us by a one-armed pcrtci ) this other
arm having been severed by a shell in the
irenches of Sibahtopol ), we entered a lane
There were lathes lor about 600 men, driven by
two large engines; many of these, however,
were at this time unoccupied.
A small bidc-rrom flrwt attracted our atten
tion, where lead was being mode into coil.',
ready -for tho bullet-machine in the large fac
tory. This machine took the leaden rope, bit
it into small pieces about an inch longsqueezad
them Into chape, and rifle bullets made their
appearance tn a little box on the floor. In this
manner, 80,000 bullets a day were made for the
Eobeld i trie. The men worked hard indeed,
losing no time, as they were paid by the piece.
Thoir wages niicbt averaire twenty-five shillings
a week; mereJaborers receiving their fourteen
hillings and upwards, and artisans thirty shil
lings and more.
As we sauntered down tb room, some
'Were busy drilling shot and shpll, whih
others were makinu metal fuzes of all kindi to
explode them. We alio 'noticed at the end
of the room several small c utting lathes, which

were led by boys with long sticks of boxwood.
Ihese were soon ca'en up; and as n quantity of
shavings appealed the only result, 1 was won
dering what had become of all the wood, when
n boy pulled open a drawer liom underneath,
nearly full ol little plugs, which fit into the
Knueld rifle buliet, to Impiovc its practice..
There were about twenty of these machines,
and the boy said he tuouirbt they could make a
million and a half in a week.
Bob explained to me that 1h Royal Arsenal
was divided into three manufacturing departs
ments j, p., Laboratory, Gun, and Carriage
each prcs.ded over by an ofllcer of the Royal
Artillery. There was alo the Stotc Department,
which occupied a large space, and employed
many hands.
Everywhere we came across fire-plugs and
boxes on wheels, housed uuder Fcarlet colored
tarpaulin. We were told that there was au
abundant supply of water alweys, at a pressure
of 100 lbs. to the Inch, and so cilecttve were the
precautions taken, that no serious fire had ever
occurred.
Escaping from the dreadful whirl of these
numberless w heels, we mounted some outside
stairs, and entered the powder-barrel factory.
It was most imereetinn to see tho wood, which
wns already cut into proper lengths, placed in a
circular drum-shaped saw, the teeth of which
formed it into staves. The round tops and
.bottoms were made in another lathe; and then,
by hvdraulic pressure, these different parts
were all compressed into a pcrlect barrel, ready
to receive the hoops, which were easily ham
mered on aiierwards. The workman at the
principal machine said he could put a barrel
together in four minutes.
We now retraced our step?, and crossed over
the road to the paper factory, a very warm aud
steamy place, coutaining large tauks full of
pulp. This was sucked by exhaustion upon
metal fingers, already supplied With woollen
glove?; and alter being dried by steam, on
extracting the glove, the paper cartridire was
found complete, and ready to receive its bullet.
L'i'-etatrs we found boys busy at tnis opera
tion, t. e placing a bullet in each paper cae,
nnd tying it up to receive the powder, which Is
kept in sheds in a remote part of the Arsenal,
far away from the workshops. Hero were alsj
the copper cap machines, supplied by boys with
long bunds of pure copper, which wete drawn
Into the machine, and there cut Into crosses by
punches; they then fell into a die, which
doubled them up into the well-known
s I) ape (it scarcely took a moment)), and
the finished caps weie dropping out more
rapidly than you could count tbcni. Boys
aio Renin employed to tU them into a perforated
metal tray, and this is banded over to a eeiate
looking old workman, who has charge of tho
dangerous composition wtih which they are
filled. How careluliy he ladle3 a bare
handful of this while powder into a little
wooden bowl, placing himself inside a railed off
space, which encloses his machine ! Down goes
the tray ot empty cups beneath a silver-looking
plate, pcrloratcd with small holes, under each
of which 1 es a cap; a small wooden spade then
spreads the composition on the topmost plate,
filling up ench orltice, and every sur
plus grain is most scrupulously returned to
the bowls, winch are locked up as belore. By
means of a eentle screw, the tray of caps
is now t-lowly lowered and removed to a
neighboring machine, where each cap is sub
jected to a pressure of 800 lbs. (one exploded
during this operation, and startled me not a
little); a coating of shellac gives the finishing
touch, rendering tueni impervious t'j moisture.
An accident once occurred at another ot these
cap-blling machines from some unexplained
cause; as the workman was ladling up the sur
plus composition, it suddenly exploded, driving
the fragments of his machine In every direction,
aud taking off, at the same time, three lingers of
the unfortunate man's baud, besides burning him
dreadfully In the face. No one else was
injured in the factory; but had not the rules for
using so little of this dangerous ingredient been
strictly carried out, many lives would have fallen
a sacrifice.
Gladly leering this heated atmophere, we
took the road to old Father Thame. He was
as airly as ever, despite the main dralnago, and
a seething mass rau past us on its way to the
sea. Tho river side presented a busy scene.
Large cranes lined the wUole lengtn of the
wharf wall, many of them busily "engaged in
loading aud unloading the barges aud small
steamers which lay alongside. Near these cranes
is a long iron-roofed shed, under whose protecting
care lay a number of guns, warlike stores, etc.,
labelled for different parts of our extended
empire. Gun carriages tor Portsmouth and
Malta, tin cases for Gibraltar, shot and shell for
New Zealand, old guns from Lelih Fort, new
ones for Hong Kong and Canada, and heaps of
rusty shot and shell irora Corfu and Zante.
At the back of this shed are millions of can
non balls, piled one above the Cher in pyra
niidical heaps, round shot lor guns, larger ones
still for mortars and the more impudent-looking
Armstrongs, ready for any einerire.ucv. Bo'o
said thel'generally kept three million of these
little things, in case they might be wanted iu a
hurry.
The round shot are brought do vn to the shore
tor exportation on a raised kind .of railway,
along which they are rolled by men placed at
various intervals. . '
In the centre of thu wharf is a Ion? pier,
shaped like the loiter T, which reaches lnr into
the river; the larger ships were lying hen,
having their stores brought to them by truc.ts
running on a tramway. So convenient is this pier
ior landing and embarking from at all stages of
tbe tide, that not only do the soldiers of the gar
rison make use ot it but royalty itself often
graces it with its presence.
W e now turned oil' to the rlerht, aud stood facing
an enormous mortar, certainly fifteen leet
high; It wo large shells, evidently belonging to
it. weie lying at its base. Bob explained to me
that this was one of the once famous mortars
constructed by Mr. Mallet, which were to re
duce Sebastopol to ashes In a few days; the
6hells, weighing 3000 lbs., and louded with a
chergeof400 lbs. ot powder, were tolly for
miles and to burst on falling like a small iiiln,,
carrying death and destruction in every direc
tion. The drawings and plaus of this monster
were lhid before the sciemiiic committee lor
Droving inventions; they shook their wie
heads, and said it was altogether wrong in
principle, and would never unswer. Govern
ment, however, had made up their minds to trive
fhem a trial, and thev weie ordered; but, alas !
w hen tired, they would come to pieces and tucse
large e hells could not be made to bo as fir as a
common mortar. These experiments must havi
cost the nation some 20,000, and the mortars
themselves never left Woolwich. Close to this
useless glnnt were some curious guns captun i
in tbe late Chinese war; they were lined inside
with twi ought-iron tubs "Just what we aro
doing now to our old guns," said Bob, "to try
and make them strong enough to bear rilling."
Their wheel tires were studded with luree
headed nails, which made one think how painful
it would be to be run over by them !
More of poor John Chinaman's spoils were
scattered rtround us. Largo bronze guns,
covered" with tea-chesi-look ing inscription, and
embellished-with drawings of hutturllies sta"8.
and storks!
A few yards further were two Russian guns
upon their iron carriages, just as they were
lound In tho Redan on that memorable morn
ing. No wonder the poor thiacs were left
behind ! They were almost battered to piece-i
by our shot, which had cut great irroovcs in
them, aud even entered their very mouths.
A solemn shade passed over Bob's counte
nance, and sad memories of a bygotie day wore
roused by the sight of these nov silent
foes. 1 kuew ho had borne his part on
that fatal morning which brought sorrow
and grief to many a fond heart at home, and
had been present when so many of his tormer
comrades were laid side bv side beneath the
eat th works of that great Redan.
We now entered a large buildine close by
the harness stoie filled with piles upon piies
of horses' shoes, saddles, eun aud cavalry har
ness, and such like; the roof was garnished with
pendant curb chains looking like a steel drapery,
aud everything was order and neatness per
sonltkid., Here were 20,000 sets of artillery
harness, and any number of cavalry saddle and
bridles. How muuy largo rooms we passed
through, all full to the celling, I don't know,
but they seemed endless. Astonished at these
vast supplies, I asked Bob if we had any other
arsenal.
"Ibis Is ti uly the only one," said he, "for the
Portsmouth Aiscnal Is but an insiuniflcantairnir,
and, would you bolieve it? though the country
is now so busily engaged Jortiiyingall be dock
yards, this mo-t Important place is left all but
defenf-eless;, there Is nothing whatever to pie
vent the enemy commit up the river Thames
with thPiremnll Mod-plate I steamers and firing
Woolwich, Hnd then we should be in a ptctty
niefg. There would not be tune to move ono
tiliicth of the stores row accumulated here, and
all the valuable machinery and workshops would
loll a piey to the tl nines. There are certainly
tortiCcntious at Sheerness, but the ships need
not go near thpra; the Thames is wide enoueh
to let small steamers pass on tho other Bide, and
the batteries at (iraveend and Tilbury are not
worth much, while there are none w hatevcr at
Woolwich."
Wo found In one of these ftores a very curious
gun in the shape ot a fish; H had formerly be
longed to the lute King of Delh', was captured
when the place fell durine the Indian mutiny,
and afterwards ploccd in the Arsenal by the late
Lord Canning. It certainly seemed more orna
mental than useful.
Close by were wooden mules with little guns
sfiapped upon tbeir backs, angry looking var
mints! they are liht and bandy little things
though, and capable of much mischief.
Other mile were provided with ambulances
for carrying the sick aud wounded, consisting of
a kind oi pannier on each sidejof the animal, or
else mere rtretchcrs, which doubled up and
turmed a soi t of arm-chair. Bob told me these
were not so much used in the Crimea ns watrons
wiih trays, upon which tho poor fellows were
luid, and pulled in and out like drawers; they
were more comfortable for tho worst cases than
ttose on the bucks ol animals, which, from the
perpetual jolting, shako the sutlerer most pain
fully. Other dummy mules were carrying miniature
fbrEcs, other boxes of horseshoes; intact, every
thing that would be rcqnired lor mountain
warfare.
On leaving these immense stores, we wended
our way once more ulong the river wall, nod on
reaching the end, my guide remarked that we
were approaching the cemetery, In which were
deposited the remains ot those who had been
destroyed by accident.
Wondenug why the poor fellows had not been
decently Interred in the churchyard, I inquired
whether tbe ground was consecrated? He
laughed most heartily, "Oh, dear, no I it's tha
guns I'm talking about," Sure cnouuh, they
were all laid out in regular rows, their broken
limbs reverently placed together; and it was
curious to notice how tney had nearly alt burst
in the same way. One piece of the gun Hies for
ward, another "back wurds, and the sldei sepa
rate laterally. Some ot these accidents had
.been fatal to the gunners employed: but, as the
Armstrong eun does not burst, Dut only opens
out at the joinings, it is hoped these calamities
will cease. Many of these old guns, however,
had been burst on purpose for expenment.
Close upon the cemetery I saw six huge
breech-loading euns; the great round breech
was m:ide to slide back, and theu, the charge
beinor instrted. it was closed up aerain. "These
are Yankee swindles," said Bob,"ior in the time
ol the Crimean war. a cute Yankee came over
with a small model of a breech-loading gun
which was to do wonders; our Government,
anxious to get holdol anything that would floor
Sebastopol, bought the patent, and ordered six
uuns from the inventor. They were to throw a
shot ten inches Jn diameter, and the Yankee was
to have so much per pound weleht for them;
but the speeitication was not carefully enough
worded; our people expected them to weigh
about three tons, so you may fancy their as'on
tshment when these monsters arrived at Wool
wich, weighing some seventeen tons each. Of
course they could not be moved, much less
used, and there they are just as they left the
ship ! I wonder our people did not try to resell
them to the Yankees when their Jittlc war brosc
out."
We continued our route, and arrived at tho
eun-field. Thirty thousand smooth-bores were
lying in long rows upon railway iron; consider
ing how mau.y of them must now be useless, it
is no wonder ttiat many ot tho baea of the
lamp-posta in Woolwich are nothing but old
guns.
Workmen were putting new louch-hole3 into
some, and examining thelnsldo ot others, to see
whether they were fit for use. In a corner
rested some ancient relics of the deep-old iron
nuns wbieh bad been Dabed up some time bact
from tbe briny. Tbey belonged, when new, to
the Mary Ixose, lost In the days of tho eighth
Harry. Ihcy seemed mere pigmies to the plants
by which they were surrounded; and ttie
thought struck me that even these very mon
sters, at 6ome future day, might be mere play
things as compared to later inventions.
My attention was now directed to a range of
workshops, iu which such a clatter of bauuing
and thumping was going on, accompanied
by clouds ot smoke and steam, tnat I
did not like to venture In. These were
the head-quarters ot the groat Aru)3troner,
whote name, not long ago known scarcely be
yond Newcastle, has sow become n household
word to ninny nations. Bob surprised mo by
Raying that so great was the secret of this inven
tion when it was first brought out, that even
the gallant artillery geueral who then com
manded at Woolwich was not allowed to wit
ness the process of manufacture. He and his
staff were one day actually seen waiting outside
this veiy workshop, while some foreign princes
who happened to be provided with a special
order from our Government were admitted, and
hud everything explained to them. But toe
whole thiug is well known to everybody now.
It is supposed that other nations do not manu
lacture them, either because they think they
haveabttter gun of their own, or that tney
have not the machinery or mechanics to make
them.
Outride the factory, men were busy unloading
wagons filled with bars of tough lookinu iron"
about twelve feet long nnd'twd inches broad;
ins.de, these bars were joined together by weld
ing, then placed in an oven till red hot, acd
afterwards drawn out and wound like a rope
lound an iron drum, thus forming a coil of.
metal. A Rule further, we saw this coil in iu
secoud stage; H had been ncrain heated in a fur
nace, and the Naiinyth hammer was now forcing
the uon into one mass, till it became a cylinder
of unbroken metal; two of these cvlinders were
then hammered together, and so" on ttil the
rough gun was complete.
I must not, however, omit to mention one of
the centre coils, to which were attached the
arms or trunnions which support the gun upon
its carriage. The hammeriug of this mass was
conouctcd in another foundry; and when wo ar
rived it had already been well beaten, and was
just about to issue once more from Us furnace for
another weldlue. A long Iron bar, as n handle,
was fastened to it ; and on opening the
lurnace duor, there it lay ; so white with
heat, "we could scarcely look at it. Twenty
men now teized tho " bur, a crane was
set to work, and the glowing metal, emerging
from its den, was carefully laid down upon its
iron Led, under the most ponderous ham aier I
had ever seen; it came down with a crash t'i at
made the ground tremble under our foot, and is
so powerful that it is capable of striking a blow
of two hundred tone, notwithstanding which it
can be mannered with snch delicacy as to crack
u nut without brulsiuur the kernel.
It is said thutone thousand tons of dirterent
materia were laid down to form a foundation
fcr ire bed, but the soil bdus marshy, the tto
lnulous motion 1b felt at a great distance.
At tho tirst blow we were covered with sparks,
wbit.h, however, becanio lewer as the uioial
cooled; tho heat found a refuge In tho twenty
workmen, l'oor fellows! how they poispircd,
aii'i how exhausted they were when, after a
E.ood luimmering, our friend was returned to his
den for another heating.
. Half cooked and hall stunned, I followed Rob
ttiiouch many otnor i'Hctoria where these gnus
weie belui; turned and rilled and drilled. I do
not, however, remember much about them, ex-"
eppt that I brought away with me a beautiful
loiur curl, which nad been culled, not from the
locks ot tbe chief eugineer, but from the pa'e of
a brawny Armbiroug who was being Vauttnirized
down to his proper bize by a steel chisel, which
st i:ck to tho helpless creature like a leech, und
liom which there was no escape.
How pretty the baby Armsirougs were as I
saw them, spick and pao In the flnlshing-room,
where men with delicate hand and accurate
vision were glvinsr them the last touches prior
to their bein? removed to the provimz butt !
The largo ones are tested by brine oil a bor of
Iron weighing one thousand pounds, and ii tbey
stand tbe lest of such an explosion ten times
without injury, they are considered fit for t.se.
We low turned our hacks on gun' aud our
(noes towards shot and shell. Small fcwasrons
filled with old iron, lumps of chalk,
etc., weie being emptied into a fur
nace, and a irrunt of delight, accompauied
by yellow-bluish flames Issuii.g Irom its mouth,
told us how theso delicacies had been appre
ciated. On the oilier side of this furnace a man crept
up, and with a long iron rod removed the clay
Hopper, and outpoured tho molien metal, like
fiery soup, into an iron caldron, which was
wheeled oil when lull and replaged by another.
From theie the moulds were filled, ond after a
1-hort interval for coulincr, they were taken out
side, where pale-laced men wuh bare arms and
flannel gloves removed the rivets and tossed out
the red-hot shot into the sand to cool.
These men had numerous scars upon their
aims, and said it was t0 hot and weakening to
protect them by wearing flannel sleeves; but not
long neo an olliccr had recommended them to
use whitening for their burns, and it had suc
ceeded so well that they uow kept a boxful
always ready lor use, and plastered it over tho
wound directly after tho accident.
As wo pasi-ed out of this factory we admired
the btautbnl metal gates, and then wrmttu our
way ihtoiuh immense piles of timber, we
reached the sawing mills. As we approached,
the noise was deafenlne, and a steel wheel,
covered with sharp teeth, and revolving at a
marvellous rate, rose from t-ome underground
habitation, and made its way towards a goodly
oi.k ljing on the ground; quickly It passed
through it, cuttmtr it in two parts
in as many minutes. The severed
block was then laid upon a move
able frame, which conveyed it under scveu or
tight upright saws, and these, when set to work,
very soon disposed of the noble stem, dividing
it into eiaht or nine stout planks. Alas! there
was no one to cry "Woodman, spare that tree."
Close by is the wheel factory, where the dif
ferent parts of the wheels ate cut out by ma
cLinery and then pressed together.
In the adjoining yard we lound a Turkish
tombstone, with Its cunons characters written
in gold upon a blab of granite, the top of which
had been shaped into a fez and colored tcarlet.
Bob told me how the poor Turks lost theu torn b
stonis, piincipally during the night, in the Cri
mean war time, aid many ot them may now bo
seen erected as tiophies in English garden?.
By this time I was getting very tired, and de
clare d thai I must give in; but Bob would not
bear ol my going away without seeinir the car
riage factory, which we had not yet visited.
Here were all kuids of canlaorcs in different
stases of manulacture cairiasrea for guns
aud pontoons, wagons for bread, wagoui
lor wouuded, wacona for stores, carts
lor shot and shell, etc., etc. My eye was
attracted by two old-fashioned looking little
guns, which bore this inecription: "These euns
and catriages were made in the Roval Arsenal,
H82. and were presented by King 'Ge re III.
iu 1792, to the Einpetor of China, and delivered
by tho Ambassador Lord Macartney. They
weie afterwards captured in the Emperors
Palace In Tekin In 1800, and returned to the
Royal Arsenal after an abtence in a
tropical climate of sixtj-nine years, pet
it ctly sound and good in every respect." Thus
giviug no mean testimony to tho durability of
the work turned out in these Government estab
lishments. V e took a look also at the large model-room
belonging to this department, where there was
a model (teal size) ot a ship-mortar, the same
kind os the so which burst so dreadfully at tho
bombardment of Sweaborg. There was
also a block of elm which had been sawn
in two, and in tho centre was a cavity con
taining a btid's nest wKh two eggs in it, one a
tomtit's, the other a sparrow's: they must nave
been tbeie nearly a hundied years, judging by
the ape ot the tree.
I paused lor a moment to ask what wa4 the
cost of these vast establishments. Bob did not
know the cost of tho Arsenal alone, but tho
estimates last year lor manufacturing depart
ments and materials at home and abroad came
to about a million aud a half. It was
more the year before, but fjpmo thousand
workmen had been dismissed, thus enabling the
Government to reduce our income tax a penny
in the pound, while, on the other baud, miiny
lamilles of thoso poor artisans had beeu sub
jected to drcadlul privations before they could
find woik elsewhere. These men are only enti
tled to pension alter ten years' service, when
they may obtain one-sixtieth of their wages,
and alter twenty yoars one-sixth, and so on. In
a case ol accidental death, the lauily would
receive a bonus fioin tho War Office according
to rt.nk.
- It was now time for us to take our departure
We pa9:ed by tho small hospital where cases of
accidents are Tecclved and attended to, and on
reaching the main gates we stopped to examine
the beautiful Maltese gun BtanJiut; there as it to
defend the entrauce, It was captured at Malta,
and is neatly twenty feet in iengiL Oa the run
itself is engraved tho archanirel St.' Mk'Uael
spearing Satun. w ho is falling hiiekn.-i-ta n,i
on the carriage, St. Paul shaking off tno venom
ous serpent into the names. Th inri,,n
stated that the gun was made by the Knights of
iii tn iw au iuc .y uur xou 4.
At this moment the clock struck six. We had
actually been four hours eoing round.
Once more the great bell rang; again hun
dicds issued from every quarter and poured in
an enormous stream through the gates.
A row of policemen lormed across the outlet,
allowing the crowd of men and boys to filter
throuch them, and tapping such of thera on the
-houldcr as they thoueht looked suspiciously
bulky or had laige coats or bundles. The se
lected one at once diverged from the stream,
and entered a tide-door, where he was searched
by the police to see if he had anything belong
ing to Government in his possession.
Stnctasthis search is, the pilfering is very
considerable. It is easy enouah lor a man to
place a few copper nails in his hair, and if he
did this every time he left his wort, the Gov
ernment would have lost no small sum of money
at the end of the year.
Right glad was I to find myself once more
stated in tho train. Tho indefatigable Bob was
os neshas ever. Ho told me that although I
had visited but a part of the vast establish
ment, yet I should still carry away with mo a
pietty good idea ol the whole; and I thought so
too. London Society.
