tronomers to believe that it could
not be attributed to accident, and
Herschel gives it as his opinion that
a belt Of meteoric planets revolvcs
around the sun, and that in its yearly
circuit the earth plunges into 1t.
When these masses meet the earth
and are attracted by it they enter
within the limits Of our atmosphere
in a luminous condition, from which
frequently fall, more or less heated,
stony fragments, generally covered
with a shining black crust. When
stones are thrown, they frequently
descend with great velocity and pen
citrate many feet into the earth. In
some instances they are thrown from
dark clouds suddenly formed in
clear sky, and fall with a noise re-
Isembling thunder. In the year ! 1872,
a mcteoric stone weighing 26O lbs.
| fell in Alsance, Germany, where
portion of it may yet be seen. In
1903, on the 26th Of April, an ex-
traordinary number of meteoric
stones were scattered over a region
of twenty or thirty miles around the
town LAiglc, in Normandy. 1t oc-
CURED at MONDAY and the fact was
officially verified by a commission Of
the French government. Not long
previous to this a meteor fell in
Siberia, which is now in the imperial
museum at st. Petersburg, and
weighs 5000 lbs. Sixteen we'll
authenticated instances are on rec
ord Of the fall Of meteoric stones in
considerable numbers since 1920,
and several cases are noted where
persons have been killed by them.
In 1888, a very remarkable meteor
ives seen. 1t traversed the whole
Of Europe from Scotland to Rome,
with a velocity OF about thrifty miles
per second, at a height of fifty miles
from the surface Of the earth, with
a light greatly surprising that OF
the full moon, and a diameter esti-
mated at fully half a mile. Yet
with these vast dimensions it changod
its form visibly, and at length quiet,
Iy separated into several distinct
bodies, accompanying each other
in parallel courses, and each follow
ed by a trail or train. 1t is not
supposed that stones are projected
from every meteor. They sometime;
burst with a loud explosion, leaving
a train behind them like a rocket
and sometimes become quietly ex
tinct. The finest collection Of me
, teoric stones in the world is sale
to be owned in Prussia, and the
second best collection is inpoSsesiol

it in the cabinet Of Amherst College

METE0RS

For many ars,-Indced for
ages-falling meteors have been
noticed generally from the 18th to
the 18th of November, and occasion
ally their number has been very
great. In 1888, on the night of the
18th OF November, the number
which fell during a period of nine
hours was computed to be 100000.
In 1893, 1923, 1882 and in 1884,
large numbers were noticed. The
recurrence of these phenomena at
this period of the year has led az

HORRIBLE MURDERS BY AMERICANS ON THE
HIGH SEAS.

Our foreign advices by telegraph have
given a synopsis Of the legal proceed
ings in the case of the two mates Of the
New York barque Anna, who where
brought before a full bench Of the coun-
" magistrates of the Isle Of Wight,
charged with the williul murder Of six
colored seamen on board the vessel
The proceedings were taken in conse-
quence Of complaint made by John
Thomas and Abraham Rock, both color
ed, seamen on board the Anna. The
following is the testimony of !. Thomas;
d" ! am an American, and an able sea
man on board the Anna, of New York.
We sailed from New York in June last,
with a crew consisting of Capt. Turtle /;
Edmund Lane, chief m ate; Gordon
Hires, second mate; Abraham Rock
myself, John Turtle, William Pomeroy,
man known on board as Frank, Will
liam johnson, David Pagins and James
Armstrong There was also on board
Richard Roseman. the cook /; he is q
white man, but also an American. These
men were all on board when we sailed
from New York but Turtle, the seaman
Frank, johnson, Pagins, Armstrong and
Pomeroy are since dead. On the Sd o
July was on the topgallant forecastlt
when Lane, the chief mate, gave an or
der to Armstrong. He did not attend tC
it as quickly as the mate wished, anC
Lane, taking up mallet, struck him witt
it over the eye. Armstrong fell on tn,
main deck with his head forward, ant
then leaned over the chain. went t,
his assistance, put my hand on his head
and pulled it back, and ! saw that hi
left eye was running out. lie did no
speak, but remained on deck about al
hour alterward. The second mate sen
him down on the mariingale, under tn
bowsprii, to clean the earring. lie tool
hold of the earring but could not clear
it; he was washed off the martingale
towed along in the water by the earring
which his arm was eOiled round. Abra
ham Rock went to his assistance. Tn
chief mate was on the jib-boom, and a
Rock was about to haul Armstrong o.
board, he said, Don't haul the nigne
in; cut the earring and let him go
About two minutes arterward, Armstron
Jet 90 his hold, and was lost
We were eighty days on our passag
from Legona in South America to Cowet
About thirty days after sailing from Leg

his cabin. Hires ordered him TO reev

AMERICANS RULING AMERIcA.--Thep pretense
for the organization of the American party, if
we recollect right, was to prevent the cor.
ruption of the elections by the foreign vote.
The means taken by the Baltimore Americans
to accomplish this object have been exposed
in the investigation of the election frauds in
that city by legislative committee, and show
that they, at least, were in real earnest in
believing, and sustaining their doctrine, that
Americans should rule America, and that
foreigners should not. It appears that num-
bers of Germans and Irish were seized by the
rowdy clubs, imprisoned for several days
before the election in cellars and out-ofthe-
way places, beaten, robbed and brutally
treated, and on election day were marched to
the polls by their rufian captors, and COM
PEELED to vote the American ticket. They not
only voted once, but were compelled to assume
different names, and to vote in different wards.
A German named Bitznin swore that he
voted sixteen times under as many names.

The MORMON PROBLEM. - Judge Cradle
baugh, who is on his way home from Utah,
by way of California, has a plan for getting
the upper hand of the Mormons, which he will
lay before the Administration. He will urge
the extension Of the pre-emption laws over the
Territory, so as to secure large Gentle
emigration at once, sufficient in a year to out.
vote the Mormons. A Gentle Legislature
would take from Young the power of marriage
and divorce, and secure the supremacy Of law.
The Gentle population in the Territory is
already large, and five or six thousand more
voters would be sufficient to carry Judge
Cradlebaugh's plan into effect. 1t is believed
that the Mormons will retire into Mexico, OF
to some island in the Pacific Ocean, as soon
as their supremacy in Utah is broken. They
are now engaged in movement of Importance,
the object of which they keep to themselves.
By orders from Young, all the Mormon settle.
ments are organizing military companies,
which are supplied with arms and ammuni,
tions from Salt Lake City. 1t is not believed
that they intend to renew the war with the
United States, but the more general supposi-
ton is that they foresee tha: they must
eventually leave Utah, and are preparing to
take possession of some part Of Northern
Mexico. The annual message of Governor
Cumming to the Mormon Legislature treats
the Mormon outrages in very mild and
gingerly manner, to the great disgust Of the
GentileS

Should our friend see fit to notice either
my lecture again in your Journal, or this
note Of mine, hope to see his proper name
at the bottom of his article, otherwise
whatever he may say, shall not reply to it.
And would especially ask him to explain
what he means when he says the English
laborer has disadvantages in respect to ed
ucation in limited opportunities (though not
limited n,eans.) am at loss to know how
his opportunities can be- limited and his
means met limited. q am so dull as not to
see clearly how both can subsist at the

I would make ny "opportunities'' keep up

to 90 to school, buy me a horse, house, or
farm, would soon find the opportunity, if
the opportunity did not get the start and
first find me.
