The Meteor and its Origin.
The W>*t distinguished stranger
that has visited this part of the world
for many years, not excepting the Ja-
panese princes or the Great Ear.tern,
was the meteor seen traveling across
our firmament on Friday evening last.
It was seen by thousauds of people,
and over n range of the earth's surface
of «t least one thousand miles of lou-
gitnde: bow much farther remains yet
to bo ascertained.
Where it came from, whore it went,
what it was made of, what damage
it did, if any, and if not why not, and
whether there are more members of
the same family to be cxpeoted, and
when; these and and a thousand other
questions are in everybody's mouth,
and in due time we may reasonably ex-
pect answers, more or less worthy of re-
spect, to them all. Iu order that the
answers or theories which may be
adopted to explain tho phenomena
should possess value, the fir # thing to
be done is to ascertain with' scientific
rocisjon which was the phenomena.

"Thntju becoming a member of the

should exercise some of the powers
appertaining to it; that should llioSo

jury or wrong, or should tho Govern-
ment fail to exorcise tho powers which
are delegated in good faith, for tho
mainlerinnco of her rights, and the
rights of hor people, or should the

When Lord Eldon—then plain John

able for tho sang froid* with which he
treated tho judcos. Ou ono occnsion,
a junior counsel, on henriug their lord-

exclaimed that "he was surprised at
such a decision!" This was construed
into contempt of court, and he wns
ordered to attend tho bar next morning.
Fearful of conseqtiencos, ho consulted,

to bo perfectly at oase, for ho would
apologize for him in a way thnt would

count of his observations, for making
which he had very favorable opportu-
nities. Ho says:
"The meteor passed over West
Point on the evening of the 20lh in-
stant, about Oh. 50m. p. m. It made
Us first appearance in tho West, nnd
moved apparently very slowly, to the
East: its motion resembling that of a
fire balloon propelled by the burning
of n feoblo rocket composition. At
nearly equal intervals it threw oil'
masses of burning matter, which i in
mediately took the shape nnd velocity
of tho principal body, with, however,
greatly diminished luminosity; the
whole suggesting tho idea of n parent
followed by numerous progeny, dot-
ting hor path through Hie houvous.—
Just before it disnppenrod, the princi-
pal mass dividod iuto two nearly equal
portions. The color, which was in-
tensely bright, was at first blue nnd
then white, which at tho closo took a
tinge of yellow. Tho nltitude seemed
no greater than that nttained by or-
dinary signal rockets; and this, to-
gether with tho seemingly slow mo-
tion, led nt first to tho inference that
it was some now and marvellous sue-
whole continents!and oceans in both
hemispheres; and it is remarkable
that these displan have ocourred in
the early parts of ¡November and Au-

the slowness of its apparent motion.

its true distance from 'Aw wV;., w-.y

Y. olaBMir y .nrtlott's theory for**lie
explanation cjf theao phenomena is as
follows: again wo quote his language
"Those bodies are of the nature of
planets, and circulate about the sun in
orbits as unerringly as their larger
brethren. When they nnd tho earth
come simultaneously to those points
of the orbits which are nearest togeth-
er, the action of the earth ofton be-
comes superior to that of the sun, and
the small masses are drawn to its sur
face. Plunging with enormous veloc-
ity into our atmosphere, theao little
bodies compress tuo air in front and
rub ngniust It with such violenco on
the sides, as to produco heat enough
to fuse, nnd light sufficient to illumin-
ate the most refractory aud darkest of
substances. The exterior mid molfon
crust is swept to tho rear by tho resist-
ing air; a now surface becomes expos-
ed ; this, in its turn, is fusod nnd car-
ried backward, and so on till finally
tho whole track of the meteor is
strewn with groups of disintegrated
and scintillating material."
As yet we have nothing to indicate
when or whore our distinguished vis-
itor terminated its journey. It was
goiog East at last accounts, and if it
went fnr enough it probably ended its
career in the ocean. We hopo to
hear of no depredations committed by
it on its journey, though we confess
tlmt tho less of such "fast company"
we havo about us, tho better wo shall
be contented. Fortunately they do

derson, wo learn, was cnused by a mau
by tho name of Ilerndon, who kept a
sort of boarding house or tavern, uenr
Star Hotel, kept and owned by B. F.
McDonough. It seems, from all the
facts which we have been able to gath
er, that the only motivo which promp-
ted Ilerndon to have the town fired
was to got rid of MeDonough's hotel.
The testimony is to the effect that
Ilerndon sent his negro woman to
lace the fire in a buHding near the
otel, which she did, as direoted. The
whole town was soon in flames. Hern-
don and his brother and the negro
woman have nil been arrested, and are
now in jail. Tho negro confesses that
i did the firing, by the instruction
and direction of her master. We have
