The Chief Of the Ordnance Bureau III.
A. WIsz) presents the following facts In
his report to the Secretary, Of the Navy an
the resdlt Of experiments during the past
year:
During the past year experiments have
been systematically made, with both shells
and shot, from smooth-bores and rifles, of
all the heavier calibres. The power of the
guns'belonging to the navy, and IN com
mon use in the batteries of our ships, has
been fairly tested against both solid and
built up plates, and the conclusion reached
is wholly in favor of the guns and their
solid projectiles spherical shot for
smooth bores being, however, immeasura-
bly, superiorto the elongated rife shot. in
every form. No manner or thickness of
iron or steel armor that could be carried
on;the hulls of ses.goinS ships will resist
the impact of solid spherical shot, fred
from the heaviest calibres of the navy, at
close range, with appropriate charges of
cannon powder. It was generally accepted
as an established fact that it was impossi-
BILE to cast spherical shot of large dame
ter which would be solid throughout. It
is now known, however, that it is easy to
cast 15-inch or 2O-inch shell which will
be perfectly sound and solid from cireum-
ference TO centre of figure, and one of the
former has resisted, without breaking, two
hundred and twenty-five continuous blows
OF an eight-ton steam hammer. a*

A Novel Marriage In Pennsylvania

The Lancaster (Pa.) Express says that
q large crowd of persons assembled in the
Reformed Mennonite Church, in that city,
on Sunday morning, to witness marriage
between two members of the new Mem
monte persuasion. The ceremony was
performed BY Rev. John Kohr, assisted by
Rev. Christian Wilmer. To those of the
audience who were never present at q we'd
ding Of members of this denomination the
affair was novel and interesting. The SER
mon, was appropriate to the occasion The
preacher read from the Sd to the 10th
verses of the 10Th chapter of Matthew,
and from the 22d verse to the end of the
9Th chapter Of Ephesians, basing his re-
marks on these passages of Scripture. The
whole discourse was devoted to the duties
OF the candidates for matrimony to each
other, and their spiritual relations to Christ,
the head of the Church. r.c...c Tree
At the conclusion of the regular exer.
cises the marriage rite was performed in
front of the pulpit. The bridegroom was
asked whether he believed this sister OF
his faith was allotted by Christ to be his
wife, and whether he was free from all
other women persons. Affirmative an.
swers being given, similar questions were
put to the bride and answered. The usual
questions were then put and answered,
when the twain we're pronounced man and
wife. The manner of bringing about mar.
riages between the members Of this de-
nomination differs from that 6fother OhfiE
tians. What is called "courting y is done
by their preachers, the eandi dates for mat
rimonisl honors not being allowed to visit

brother wishes to take to himself one OF

From the Montreal Herald, Dec. 10.
We see that the Globe, in an article of
an apparently semi-official character, an
nounces that strong measures are to be
taken in legislative sense to put an end
to the attacks expected to be made upon
the United States territory by persons re-
siding in Canada. We have every reason
to believe that this course has been pressed
upon our government by Lord Lyons and
the Imperial government, who, if they did
want a war, or trouble approaching to
war, would know how to got one up in
their own way, and have no notion that
the British empire should be dragged into
hostilities to please Mr.. Barley or Lieut..
Bennett Young, or even any sympathizers
whom those gentlemen may chance to have
in this Province. We suppose that now
those who have been plotting mischief
will find it advisable to remain quiet while
they are safe. 1t is full time they should.

How Money Is Made Inside the Ring

The Washington correspondent 81 the
New York Commercial Adoertiser (Rep J
states the following facts concerning the
Treasury report: '.>r,a
Never was a public document so care
fully kept from the public as was the re-
port yesterday submitted to Congress by
Secretary Fessenden. The mot trusty of
the confidential clerks was selected to COPY
it, and the most intimate friends of the
Secretary declared themselves ignorant of
its contents Even after it had been pre-
sented to Congress, and was in fact public
property, twas retained by watchful guar
dams. The Secretary expressly desired
that no abstract of it should be made, or
that it should be seen by any one, until it
had been printed, confidentially. Even a
request from the chairman of the Commit
tee on Printing Gov. Anthony that the
reporter for the Associated Press might be
permitted to make an abstract of it, was
not complied with-at least last night.
Yet it is whispered here to-day that the
leading features of the report were known
on Wall street yesterday, and that specu-
lators governed their actions accordingly.
If this is so, some one in the Treasury
Department must have given the infor-
nation. AZ
Thus the "dear people can see how
those inside the ring are enabled to make
fortunes or save them, while those outside
are plunged into ruin-how the ups and
downs Of prices are calculated to nicely
as the effect of departmental recommen-
