A NEW DESTRUCTIVE MIssILE.-In
one OF the sancta at Woolwich Arsenal
a rocket is now being produced, which
instead of line to rescue the ship
wrecked mariner, carries charge of
nitro-glycerine in its head, and is ca
pable, by simple contrivance which
greatly increase its accuracy aad pow
er of flight, Of accomplishing all that
a shell can do at hundreth part of the
expense and with hundred times the
effect. These rockets require no com
plicated firing machinery. They can
be showered on a body of men, into
batteries, forts aud towns with the ra-
pidity of breech-loader-in fact more
rapidly. Within half an hours time a
bombardment with these missiles
would shatter the strongest fortress
and lay a whole town in ruins. 1t is
not advisable in the present state OF
affairs to give detailed description OF
these missiles; nor would such descrip-
tion be of interest to any but those
whom it is our interest to keep in ig-
norance as to the method adopted.
At the same time, however, it IS not
likely that we shall long be allowed to
retain the monopoly of these terrible
engines; and thus it becomes ques-
tion as to whether the game will be
worth the candle.-London Maafoaoer.

The question whether the 10Th of Feb
ruary is legally day or not, has lately
been presented to local court in In
diana. There Is authority in that State
to the effect that the 2Sth and goth of
February are to be counted as one day
but when the Supreme Court 50 decided,
1t had not examined an ancient English
statue concerning leap year, passed in the
twenty-third year of Henry ILL.,, which
bears upon the subject. Accordingly,
in the case to which we refer, the Judge
determined to consider the question de
novo ; and he came to the conclusion
that the 10Th of February must be regar-
ded as day, in contemplation of law, as
much as any other, and must be reckon
ed in the legal computation of time,
where days are concerned. 'Is man
who works on Feb. 29 and 30 to have
pay for one day only ?" lie asks. "Has
judgement rendered on Feb. % no
priority as lien over one rendered on
Feb. POP Could man sentenced to be
hung on Feb. 20 be legally executed on
Feb. % ?" Of course not. The con-
fusion on the subject has evidently aris-
en- from statutes treating of the entire
year as whole. Thus, there is a pro-
vision in the Revised Statutes. of New
Y ork that whenever the term "year orr
years " shall be used in any law contract,
or instrument, the year intended shall
be taken to consist of 1856 days a half
year, 1S2 days sand the added day of a
leap year and the day Immediately pro-
ceeding, If they shall occur In any period
so to be compated. shall be reckoned
together as one day."

CHANGING CoIor

Thefe IL In Cairo now q colOred man
who for 10 years past has been steadily '
turning white. He SAYS that before the
war he was the slave of Mr.. Winston,
now living near Union City, Tenn, and
that any one doubling that he is a negro
can have those doubts set at rest by
writing to his old master. HI has farm
ed near Columbus, KY, for seven years
past and his children, all black, have
grown up and are married. He says
that the change in the color of his skin
began fifteen years ago, in spot the
size OF three-cent piece on his right
wrist, and has been spreading until now
the only black left upon his person are
a few spots on bis hands, and a mask
as IL were, on his face, extending from
his forehead 10 his mouth, with the ex-
eeption of his eyebrows, which are
white, the hair on them being black and
straight like a white mans. The skin OF
the head, neck and ebody is healthy
flesh color like that of any white man,
and is tender and easily blistcred by the
sun, and his harris getting straight Ii Ike
white mans. The first Impression up
on seeing him is that his face has been
painted with iodine, but his eyes are the
unimistakable color of a negro's, His
name Is Henry Winston. He says that
soon after tn change began he was ex-
amlned by twelve physicians at New
Orleans, and they told him not to be
alarmed; it was healthy change, and
would not injure his life. He had feared
1t was the leprosy.-Cmro III. Dispatch
