The charge of powder was ilO pounds, and the weight of the shot 1, 712 pounds, The velocity attained was 1,650 feet per second at the muzzle. In each of the threo rounds the weight of the powder-charge was 440 pounds. The sfeot in the second round weighed aearly 1,709 pounds; the velocity was 1,644 feet. In the third round the shot weighed 1,707 pounds; relocity 1,645 feet The rst and second rounds were trial shots, for the purpose of obtaining range. The target was distant 2,735 yard. The first shot went OTer the target, the second fell short of it, but the third made a good hit The great gun maker contends that the real measure of the power of a gun is the bight to which it would he raised by the power which u imparted to the projectile when fired. Krupp, with his great breech-loader, gives to a projectile of 779 kilogrammes a velocity of 502 tnetre per second. This' force would lift more than 10,000 tons a metre high, which Is the same as raisBg the gun itself to a hijht of 140 metre, or 397 feet. So also the Arm strong gun, of 100 tons, dovclopes an energy ssf&cient to raise that gun to an elevatioa of 125 metres, or 410 feet. The power of modern artillery is well illustrated by tho fact that the shot flics oa its way with a force sufficient to raise, the gun itself to an altitnde equal lo tbat of the gilt a om on the top of St Paul's Cathedral, Loadon.

Lu t ere t tins Narrative of aa Ex-Captlrc. In 1357 a little boy of nine jean, go ing to school near Sap Xavier, in Mex ico, vas captnml by the Apaches in open day, with two of his schoolmates, and taken into Arizona a thousand nilea northward. Ono of tho boys was murdered on the way, baring got too sick to travel ; another was subsequently sold to New Mexican. The little toy with whom w are concerned.

One day in May, ISC 4, he found himelf in the-vicinity of a detachment of.Jxtnncan troops ua - der Certain Thaver. in Arizona, and surrendered himself to the detachment. The soldiers were about to shoot him for an Apache, as he wvs painted and naked, and had a low and quiver of ar row. But he stooped down and wrote his name In the sand, whereupon all doubts of his being a captive vanished, and he was cared for as an unfortunate ; I 5vvtn after hf mu with Cat)! tin .

All other dupetrs are settled by a present, or payment for damages imaginary or leal; bet if the question is concerning a wife who is young and good looking, it is net er decided except by blood! ed and then rerhsp not for years. The punishment of an unfsith fill wife is to have Iter aov cut o J, but this can be done only by her husband. If he happens to hare no other wifj, asd to like her very much, he will not allow her to be mutilated, but will try to take revengo on her paramour. This leads to endless aAS4ination, for each family is bound to avenge the death of one of its members by killing some one, and this in turn must be avenged by the new tuuVrers, and so on, until the quar rel is sometimes settled by a talk and presents, but generally by the extinction of one of the families. r-OLYOAMr Is a source of constant trouble among tha women, jmd of many violent quar rels, in which the husband takes no part. A woman will sit and cry and pout all day with jealousy, cat nothing herself, nor get anything for her husband. In such cases the husband's chief depen dence is on his mother, if ha bis one if not, on his nearest female relations. As to his preparing his own food, it is entirely out of the question if there is a woman in sight. If he should haro no female relations he quarters himself on his best friend who lias a wife,and brings his spoils of the chase and plunder taken from the enemy to tho common stock of the family. Amosg ths Apacles tho son sever refuses obedience to tho mother, and the mother on her part is never dona toiling for her son. If he should hare many wires she always pre him something to eat erery day, which the has prepared for him expressly. She is always doing bim somo little service as a coastant memen to of her care over him. She makes him buckskins of deerskin, or sandals of rawhide; or she presents him a foxskin jacket in Winter, and veo aarrios wood to his already abundant tire, a fie lather Is almost UBrecognised by the son.

He had a rery handsome young wife, to whom he had been married absut a year.

Look at the windows cf the newMlealers in any large city -and Detroit, we regret to say, is not ait exception and veu will find them or namenUd with a das of books and newspapers, so called, which bear the same rtLton to healthful literature that poison loo to wholesome food. We do not refer now to the vile and licentious papers which appeal to the groex&st passions, and which garnish so many shop windows, even, in cities lika Dettott. where police supervision l: nominally maintained. "We refer to the to-called "atcrv pa pert" tnth their cUr ing monstrosities cf illustration, and with their horrid stories of decapitated heroes who nde about tfie land carrying their heads suspended from one band cf hair. Can thete be any question in any sane mind that the growing youth cf the country might far better abstain alto gether from reading nay, might alcc&t betur never learn to read than to de vour such unclean thr.sk 1 Yet aside from the illestraticns. there is much cf the stac with which ! jfH fawrT I that is not one whit betti parades itself in the shop wnir . may not furnish quite so much uTtLS way of physicalimpouibAilies.
