A. Destructive Agent.

Nature has note on new and re-
markably destructive engine of warfare
now undergoing artillery experiment in
England, known as the "water shell. !"
The chief merit of the invention--made
by Mr.. Abel-consists in filling an ordi-
nary shell with water instead of with an
explosive agent. A small cylinder, con-
tanning from q quarter to half ounce of
gun-cotton and little illuminate of mer-
curry, is attached to the fuse and insert
ed into the water-flled shell, and, owing
to the almost Lcompressible character
of water, the explosion of this seemingly
trifling charge is said to produce more
violent effects than have been attained
by any other means. We are told that
a 16-poulder (cylindro-c -conoidaD shell
filed with sixteen ounces of gunpowder,
was broken by the explosion of this
charge into twenty nine fragments. The
detonation of a quarter of an ounce of
gun-cotton confined ina shell of precisely
the same construction and weight, the
chamber being filled up with water and
tightly closed, burst the shell into 121
fragments, which were violently dis
persed. A corresponding charge of
gun cotton, confined in third similar
shell, the chamber being filed with air,
did not burst the shell when detonated
the resulting gases found vent througha
minute perforation in the plug or screw
stopper of the shell. One ounce of gun
cotton confined in similar shell, filed
up with water, broke it up into 800 frag-
ments, but in addition there were two
pounds one ounce of the shell almost
pulverized by the force of the explosion
brought to bear upon the metal through
the agency of the confined water.
Beside the increased destruc' iveness
of this extremely simple device, an even
greater recommendation is its saving OF
expense, enabling even the most econ
omical governmentsto feel that they may
afford the occasional luxury of war il
they can kill five times rs many enemies
at less than half price.

As Sharp rs a Razor.

The other evening a man applied at
the general delivery window of the De-
troit post-office to know if there was a
letter for Jones.
"Jones2 Jones What Jones;" asked
the clerk.
"Just nothing but Jones'" he an
swered. ... ...... .....
81 must have the first name-John.
Henry, James," she said.

looking very cunning. "You want me
to ask for Jim Jones and then you'll say
that there's nothing for Jim but that
there is letter for Thomas Jones 7"

In Denmark.

In Denmark the houses generally are
well furnished, with the exception of
carpets, for which the Danes seem to
have great dislike. In the apartments
of the wealthy you will find often velvet
rugs and mats in the center of the floors
and around the sofas and tables. The
floors are either nicely waxed or painted,
and have decided air of cleanliness
about them. The Danish housemaids
are very fond of scrubbing, and seem to
keep it up pretty nearly all the time.
Tue walls of the private residences are
very thick, and are built not only for the
present, but for posterlty. The window
frames have a double sash. These are
of great convenience in ventilating the
rooms in winter. The outer sash can be
thrown open without letting in much
cold air. The space between the sash
is large enough tn hold vases and pots of
flowers, and flowers are seen growing in
almost every window. The curtains are
usually white, OF OF some very light col
ored material. Many of the partition
walls in the Danish houses are made of
light canvas, instead of laths and NOR
tar, as in America. The canvas is placed
upon frames, which can be moved about
at mere nominal cost. These can.
vased partitions are sometimes very
handsomely painted, They make the
rooms fully as private as one should
! wish to have them.

Ere the farewell is hushed in this.

Colonel Fred Grant, one Of the staff of Gen.

lioraire, a graduate of West Point, and the
son OF his father, the President Of the United
States of America, is at the Grand Pacific
Hotel He has been there day or two, and
stops there because he prefers it to the Palmer
House. and because it is more congenial
The Times was not unmindful OF the
advent into this city of SO distinguished
q gentleman, and approaching his inestim-
able services as hero, and learning
that it was not improbable that he would en-
gage in banking here upon the earnings
which he has laid aside by the sweat Of his
own brow both in Europe and America, sent
q representative to call upon him at his hotel,
to ascertain the views Of the Colonel upon his
rumored embarka ion in business here; upon
his opinion of the Palmer House as hotel;
upon his ideas MS to whether the world was
fat or round; upon his views rs to the Beech
er-TiltOn affair, and the extent to which he
thought Elizabeth was criminal; also upon
the financial condition Of the country, the
speed of 30, ner's steeds, and other matters
upon which it is known the gallant Colonel
holds orthodox views.
The hour OF 7:3O o'clock arrived. With
elastic step and . multitude OF coined phrases
in his mind. the reporter stepped in at the
Grand Pacific aud sent up his card. Again
an able bodied civil rights young man ap-
peared before the keen whistle Of the obliging
clerk. "Col Grant, 2O2.' Five minutes,
upon which brief moment there seemed to
swing the destinies Of the third term. van

preached.
''Col. Grant will be down in few minutes,
he said to the CLERK.
The clerk, with a wave Of the hand and q
twist at his mustache, turned to the trem-
bling man Of the Times and said in a stento-
rian voice:
.Cal. Grant will be down in few minutes
ali"
The reporter bowed, and waited the ap-
proach OF the man from "2O2.
LII IA few minutes there descended from the
grand stairway young man wi h a mustache
and a cut-away coat. His cheeks were broad
rs though they had been mapped out for q
crop OF Burnside whiskers, and failed to pro-
duce. His step was high, and his bearing q
Ia militare in the extreme. There was slight
lull in the grand hallway as he approached
and picked up tooihpick at the office desk,
and then the hum Of voices went on AS before.
