The Futurc or r. uropo.

Gould we, for the purpose OF the present
inquiry, analyse also the Internal move
ments which seem desti led TO affect the fu-
ture of Europe, we should find in them, as
q whole, inducements 10 confidence. though
some OF them may afford us occasions for
anxiety. II may be true that Europe needs
a re.arrangement of its frontiers, that ma.
tions expunged from its map are living yet,
that others with whom Europe must count
are raising their pretensiOns. There is
probably future for revived Spain, for
United Italy, aud for the State or States TO
arise out of the common aspirations OF a
hundred millions Of Sclavonic origin.
Great empires which have been among the
principal weights in the balance of Euro
pean power may dwindle, or they may
change their bases, or merge much of their
distinctive action in the tendencies of the
German race to common national gov.
ernment. 1t is quite possible that Haps-
burgs aud Hohenzollerns may encounter a
fate like that of the French Bourbons or
the English Stuars; and yet it does not
follow that the European world will lose
any of its elements, so useful in their mu-
tual antagonism, aud which preclude the
growth of an overwhelming empire. The
growth of such an empire in the western
hemisphere is apparently forbidden by the
rupture of the Federal Union, which por.
tends the creation of second series of
States, with balance of power peculiar to
themselves. Russia alone seems competent
to menace the future of Europe; and yet
Russia, notwithstanding its colossel proper

They left Springfield at three o'clock, pro-

Government Contrasts Tor Cannon.

Government Contracts FOR Cannon.
a raw specimen of rich, satiricaI humor
will be observed in 10 the following ex-
tracts from letter of o. c. Kerr, Esq:
By Invitation Of we'll known Official,
Visited the Navy Yard yesterday, aud Wit
messed the trial Of some newly invented
ritied cannon. The trial was of short du
ration, and the jury brought in a verdict Of
| innocent Of any intent 20 kill.
The first gun tried was similar to those
used in the Revolution, except that it had a
large touchhole, and the carriage was
painted green, instead Of blue. This novel
aud ingenious weapon vas pointed at a
target about sixty yards distant. Il didn't
hit it and as nobody saw any ball, there
was much perpiexitT expressed. A mid
shipman did say that he thought .he ball
must have run out of the touehhole when
they loaded up-for which he was Instant
y expelled from the service. After a long
search without finding the ball, there was
some thought of summOn;ug the Naval Re-
firing Board to decide on the matter, when
somebody happened to look into the mouth
of the cannon, and discovered the ball
hadn't gone out at all. The inventor said
this would happen sometimes, especially il
you didn't put brick over the touehhole
when you fred the gun. The Government
was SO pleased with this explanation, that
it ordered forty guns on the spot, at two
thousand dollars apiece. The guns 10 be
finished as soon as the war is over.
The next weapon tried was Jfnk's dou-
BILE back-action revolving cannon for ferry
boats Il consists of heavy bronze tube,
revolving on pivot, with both ends open,
and touch hole in the middle. While one
gunner puts load in At one end, another
puts in load at the other eud, one touch
hole serving for both. Upon applying the
match. the gun is Whirled swiftly round
on a pivot, aud both balls fiy out in circles,
causing great slaughter on both sides.
This terrible engine was aimed at the tar.
get with great accuracy: but as the gun
ner has large family dependent upou him
tor support, be refused to apply the match.
The Government was satisfied without fir-
ing, aud ordered six of the guns at a mil
lion of dollars apiece. The guns to be fur.
nished in time for our next war.
The last weapon subjected to trial was q
mountain hoWitEer of a new p ttferu. The
inventor explained that its great advantage
was that it required no powder. Ia batIls
it was placed on the top Of high mountain
aud ball slipped loosely into it. As the
enemy passes the foot Of the mountain, the
gunner in charge tips over the bowler,
aud the ball rolls down the side OF the
mouniaiu aud into the midst of the doomed
foe. The range Of this terrible weapon
depends greatly on the height Of the noun
tain and the distance to its base. The
Government ordered forty of these noun
tain hoWitzers at hundred thousand dol
lars apiece, to be planted on the irst noun
tain discovered in the enemy's country.
These are great timos for guusmiths. my
boy; and ifyou find any old cannon around
the junk shops, just send them along.
