ACCORDING to the Boston Globe,
there Is now in process of Mannfac-
ture at Cambridgeport, the largest re-
fractiug telescope in the world. Next
to this is the telescope owned by Mr..
Newhall, of England, the object glass
of which is % inches in diameter.
Thirc in rank and the largest in this
country, is the one at the Dearborn
observatory in this city. TIE new
Instrument is being manufactured at
the establishment where the Dearborn
telescope was made. 1t is designed
for the United States naval observa-
tory at Washington, having been or
dered by the government two years
since. The cost is $4,000. The rough
glass, which had to be obtained at Bir-
mingham, England, cost $1,000. The
grinding process has now been in
progress for six months, and it is not
certain how much longer the work
will have 10 be continued but It is
not expected that the instrument will
be completed for two years. Some
| idea of the size of the telescope is con-
veyed by the information that the
tube will be 32,s feet In length.

A GRIM JoKE.-A couple of medi-
cal students disinterred q subject on q
cold winters night, and having dress
ed it, placed it, sitting upright, on the
seat of a covered wagon, and started
for home. Coming to a tavern, and
seeing the bar-room lighted up, they
left the wagon and went in for q
drink. The hostler observing a man
sitting in the cold wagon, attempted
some conversation but, receiving no
answer, he discovered how the affair
stood, and instantly reso lved to have
little fun of his own on the occasion.
So taking the corpse to the stable, he
dressed himself in its clothes, and
seated himself in the wagon. The
students soon returned and took their
seats beside of the supposed dead
man, when one of them in merriment
gave him slap on the face, "How
would you like some flip old fellow ?"
then remarked tremulously to his
companion, "He is warm, by heav-
ems ~ $50 you'd rou be-" replied the
corpse, ''if you had been stolen from
hell as 1 have" Both students bolt
ed, and never retxrned to inquire for

CASE OF TATFOOIN0,

There is now exhibiting in medical circles
in Vienna remarkable instacne of tottoe-
ing Of the whole body. According to his
own account, the man. Gr:ek by birth,
had been pirate aid hsd also carried on
brigandage on the Continent. Seven
years ago he and five companions wsre
taken prisoners by one Of the wild tribes Of
Asia. Three of them were put to death, but
this man, with two others, was preserved
alive, aud literally ta.tooed over the entire
body. The operation lasted Two months,
and was performed by six uen, who each
day operated on different parts Of the body.
The proceeding caused horrible pain
and his two companions died under the
treatment. His body is covered frem head
to foot with delineations Of men, animals
and fabulous things. The coloring mater
isl used for the figures appears to be indigo
the ground especially on the chest and
'bdomen, being vermilion here aud there
about lines breadth of the normal color
Of the skin can be seen. The hands and
the sides of the feet are colored red, but
have no figures. On the face and neck are
inscriptions and characters resembling Ar
abic. The skin has the general appearance,
to the sightand touch, of blush grey velvet.
He attends the General Hospitalin Vienna;
and Professor Hebra, who showed him to
his class few days ago, has had him pho
tographed in various attitudes.

NIAGARA FALLS rou..rn,r, ,rn,.

COL Haig, in bis account of his jour-
ney to discover the best road to Juxd.l-
poor in the Bastor country, thus de-
scribes the falls of Indravati, which
must very nearly come up to those of
Niagara 1.-THE falls are certainly one
Of the grandest sights in Ind;s, though
from their inaccessible roslt1oo few will
probably ever see them. The river
vas in food within ten feet (according
to the people on its bauks) of its ex-
treme hight. About four miles above
the falls (Which ara mile below the
village of Chitrakot) the Iudravati is
joined by the Narnagi, river Of 'hree-
fourths its size. The united waters of
tho two, swollen by the heavy rains to
volume which l reckoued at about
thirty millions cubic yards per hour,
descend perpendicularly a height of
niuety-four feet over ledge of sand
stone rocks, about SEQ yards in length,
and slightly curved in place at one end
so as to give the 1all something of
horse shoe shape. The rich c,loring
OF the water, varying from reddish
brown at the crest of the falls to q bril-
liant ochre where more broken in its
descent, ad Is much to the beauty of the
sight. The lower part of the fall is
hidden by the clouds Of spray, and in
damp weather, Immediately after a
shower, when the air is loaded with
moisture, these rise even higher than
the crest of tho falls, fill the whole
chasm below, and even hide the coun-
try on the opposite bank from view
disclosing only at intervals the final
plunge Of the immense mess Of water
into the gulf beneath the scene then
becomes one of the widest and grand
est imaginable"

AFFECTION OF A DOG.

In 1863 Captain-, of an artillery
company Of South Carolina, was killed
in battle in Virginia. His body was
placed in coffin, aud this boxed I'D
and brought to the home of his family,
at that time in Columbia. 1t arrived
ao'ut one week after his death. On
It's arrival, his dog tha! he had reared
aud pet'ed during his life, was at the
froot gate, and, approaching the house
began to smell about, and manifested
much excitement. When the coffin
Was removed from the hearse he ran
under it, and followed 1t into the house,
between the pall~bearers. Although a
week bad elapsed since his masters
death, and his body vas closely encased
10 the coffin, the dog had recognized
him by his sense Of smell alone. When
the coffin was laid on the table in the
Parlor' tne dog laid under it, and re.
mained there for eighteen hours, until
the funeral on the next day. Upon
the day succeeding it was observed that
the d,y had not been seen since the
interment. Search was made for him.
aud he was found lying upon his late
masters grave, s"ivering 10 the cold
ra'n' that bad been falling for some
hours. lie refused to leave his posi-
'lon, aud had to be tied and led home.
where he vas 'urncd l. ose In a short
tue be Was again m,s>ed, and servant

gain t'u"d in the former position.
lie now refused to eat or drink at all,
an only lay moaning. Upon the
III "oi"s Of the third day he was found
dead. Such al instance of the affection
Of dog have never known surpassed,
particularly as this IS beyond dispute.
