The NIAGARA AND HER BATTERY.-The
model Of the Niagara as man-of.war is per-
fectly original. She is an improved type of the
clipper ship, adapted to war purposes; perhaps
to knock into pi," she, or her progeny, many
an old fogy ship. Her battery Of ll-inch can
non, or ITO FOUNDERS, has no typical origin
it is original in every sense Of the word Fur.
ther, we dare assert, If it can be adapted to
vessels of war for sea service SO as to warrant
a long range with safety in the discharge, it
will completely change the land and sea de-
fences of the world. Fortifcations provided
with batteries of the heaviest ll-inch cannon,
for the longest attainable ranges for solid shot,
would alone make them impregnable The
power and velocity Of so terrible projectile,
forced by greatly increased powder explosion,
warranted by the weight of the gun, would
utterly defy the approach Of floating enemy.
So says the New York Mirror.

CANINE SAGACfTY.-The most wonderful case
Of canine sagacity is related by the Hartford
Times. The Nashua Telegraph might as well
retire from the dog department Of literature:
Mr., a venerable and worthy man, had
Newfoundland dog which used to go short
distance and get the Daily Courant, bringing
it home in his mouth, evincing great anxiety
until he had procured the paper The paper
changed owners, and at the same time became
more vacillating in principle than before. 1t
advocated Sam. AS soon as this change took
place the dog was noticed to appear ashamed
when the paper was given him to carry home |;
he would sometimes drop it in the streets, let
it lie, and put for home. At last he refused to
90 for the paper at all he was of no use to the
owner except to get his paper, and as the dog
positively refused TO have anything to do with
il any longer, he procured Known Nothing to
kill him, paying the sum Of twenty-five cents
for the job.

METEoRs.- is no room left
for the entertainment Of the question,
whether prnderous masses do some
times get precipItated to the ground
when meteors fall very wcighty proofs
indeed, have been afforded Of the fact.
A friar was killed by stone cast out
of Il meteor thatvisited Crcma in l5l | /.
another, II Franciscan monk, was kill.
ed in the same way at Milan, in 1850 !;
and Two Swedish sailors met with Il ST.
milar fate on shipboard in 1914. \
mctcoric stone was seen to fall at
Agram, in 1851, and was dug from
the ground, into which it had burrow-
ed Is feet deep. Others have fre
quantly been disntrrrod from depth
OF from six to twelve f'et. \ stone
seven feet and half across, at Otum-
pa. On the year in which Socrates
was born, meteoTic stone was cast TO
the ground in Thracc, which had the
bulk of two millstones, aud formed a
complete wagon load. The meteor Of
Angcrs, on the 9ih Of June, l~29, aud
which left luminous train and cloud
tracA behind 1t in the SKY, like the one
seen Oh the 7th Of JanuaIy in the
south Of England, in the present year,
deposited shower Of stones, with lcud
detonations, IS miles north of foitiers.
These substantial consequences OF me-
teoric apparitions are called "roltfcS.
The meteoric stone i composed of
various mineral ingredients which are
identical with matters Of f,miia oc
'currcncc upon the earth, but amidst
these, iron is found in great abundance
rs never is found on the earth, that is,
In Il native state The surface OF the
;eroltc always has q pitch black g azed
appearances A perfectly vtriied or
enamclled crust, something less than Il
tenth of an inch in thickness, covering
the inner substance, and separated
from it by clcarly marked lln".
The flame Of the met or Is cVId ntly
more fierce than that of the hottest
porcelain furnace, for this Is alt"geth :
er inefficient tor the production Of any
such perfect process of glazing as the
;crolite exhibits. Ncteorlc stones have
been found to be very hot when dis
covered in the ground, and some have
retained their high temperature for
hour.
