hand guns had been invented... They
Were introduced into England by Hen
ry IV. The invention of hand guns is
ascribed to the Germans; and , probably
dates half a century prior to their use
in this country. ! A Birmingham gun
maker informs us that at first the hand
gun was a simple barrel, ' , with an , un
covered touchhole atthe top, mounted
on a straight stock, and, was fired, from
a, rest by means' of a match.' A.!few
years afterward the! stook Was• bent,
and the match lock *as intro:limed.—
The Wheel lock, an Italian invention,
Which lessened the danger of 'firing,
was introduced in the reign of Henry
VIII, and continued to be generally
used for a century and a half. Fire.
arms, however, were not at that period
greatly relied upon for the purposes of
war.. The awkwardness of the guns,
together with the great dilliculty and
expense of procuring gunpowder; led
to a prevailing preference for old appli
ances, and as late as Elizabeth's time
archers' were the,strength of the Eng.-
lieh army. Sir James Turner states
that the pistol was invented at Pistoja,
in Tuscany, by Camillo Viteili, in the
sixteenth century. Bayonets were first
Wade at Bayonne, about the middle of
the 17th century. •
, 4' . oinatas were the earliest weapons of
this class, and were made with wooden
handles fitting to the bore of the gun.
A socket, by which it•was - fixed to the
muzle, was added subsequently,
_and
'fp tis improved form bayonets were
used by the French in the reign of Wm.
111, to the intense astonishment of our
25th regiment of foot. The flint lock is
of Dutch origin, and was invented in
the reign of Charles 11. It bas under

within the last thirty years; during the
latter period its modifications have been
numerous and important. Oddly en

the American war in 1778 that they
were placed in the bands of English

The Old Fort—A Natural Wonder.
,
''The Natural Fort, - e.s it is called, is
situated about fifteen miles south of
Cheyenne, on the old stage road leading
to Denver. This fort is very peculiar
in its formation, and difficult to describe
so as to give a correct idea of its appear
ance. ,I should say it was originally a
hill of sandstone, and that the elements
had moulded it into its pi:esent shape.
It is almost eircular4d form, with a
level open area in tt)-e t center of about
45 or 60 yards in (Ameter. This is eft
tirelrclosed by sandstone wall, ex
cept cm one fide, where there is an
opening sevefal yards wide, which gives
free ace to the interior, and repre
sents th 4 sally port. This wall varies
from 16 to 50 feet in bight. I should say;"
I did not measure it.
7 -- The wall- upon the western side is
probably ten or fifteen feet thick, per
haps more at the b e. Upon the east
ern side the wall i much higher and
thicker. We clam ered upon ' the side 1
of this part, and went over
t i it. The I
1 whole top was ho ey-combe and cut
into chambers, wit a wall rising up so
as to conceal us rom the Pains, or
even the area wi bin, were conceal
ment sought, and these wails were
again pierced as though for loop holes,
or windows. Some of thee places
would accommodate five or six men,
where, they would have a most admira
ble point for defense, sheltered almost
entirely from an enemy's attack; oth
ers would accommodate four. or six
times as many; and I think defensible
positions could pave been found on ev
erY 'side; So that, the fort could, in the'

she would send her to heaven and her

without Christ; not the Mead •without the Body,
not the Body without the Bead : one above the
other, it is true, but both together, a complete
whole. Ho elaborated these ideas, asserting the
Divine orginiration of our Church, Its apostolic
dereent, the Scriptural authority of • its three
fold ministry on the testimony of those, who,
yielding to the foroe of circumstances, as they
thought, reluctantly and regretfully gave up its
'Apostolic origin ;-..and concluding with a very
eloquent and fervid description of the growth of
the Church since the 'American Revolution,
;when Wwne ortished to the dust; and with con
gratulation to the Beater, vestry, and emigre

This parish, iu a small village, has bad a
sure growth. Its beginning' may be
traced, perhaps, to a Sunday Sehoel started
many jests s,nce by Mrs. AVilson, who is now
engaged iii the same good work in the neigh
borhood with the ohildren'of some of those who
first receive her instruction.
With t.ccuaional sere hies by Rev.. Messrs.
Buck,.Murple and Cullen, formerly of Tioga
County, and with a lay service conducted by the
Warden. Hin ilollands, begun at the instance
of Rev. M. Donnell and Franklin Fell, Esq.,
our generous benefactor, the ground was made
ready for the regular ministrations of the pres
cut licetor, who commenced hero the second
Sunday after Easter, 1868, with ten oommuni."

baptised (34 adults); 55 have been ebriffrmed;
and wo have now a list of sixty communicants,
and a Chareh building with nearly every requi
site for the dtio celebration of Divine Service.
Much is' due to the liberality of friends/
abroad; to the fostering care and aid of our

Anthony Trollope says:/"I do not
comprehend the reason for the existence
of so many women ; although I suppose
Providence had some wise end in view
giving to every man at least eight or
ten women to eboeselrOm, when be is
about to select a wife."
. 'Does your officiating clergyman
preach the Gospel, and is his conversa
tion and carriage consistent therewith ?'
was a circular from a bishop to a church
warden of his diocese. A veteran near
by replied,- "He preaches the Gospel,
but does not keep a carriage."
