MAnvracture OF Fire Arnms.—The
machinery now employed by the Federal Goverment for the manufacture of
fire-arms is complete. A musket may
be turned out every 80 minutes of the
working day from the raw material.
The machinery i is of the most perfect
description, and does the work with unerring accuracy. It is said that in no
department of the mechanic arts has
the inventive mind been exerted with
more astonishing or elaborate results.
To produce a musket entire, 294 machines, and nearly 500 distinct mechanical processes are involved. ‘The iron
from which the barrels are made costs
$200 per ton. This is cut up from bars
into pieces of ten pounds weight, and
fourteen inches in length, which, after
being drawn out to forty inches under
nearly a white heat, is curved and welted on steel rods. Each barrel is then
bored out, and reduced in weight from
ten pounds to four-and-a-half after
which it is polished with emory on revolving wheels. The wetty of the
workmanship that is displayed in the
making of these barrels is thought not
to be exceeded by in any in the world.
(Golden Era.
Lire oF AN Enaingeer.—The life of
a railroad engineer is graphically depieted in the followi ing extract from the
Schenectady Star: “But the engineer
—he who guides the train by guiding
the iron horse, and almost holds the
lives of passengers in his hands—his is
a life of mingled danger and pleasure.
In a little seven by nine apartment,
with square holes on each side for yindows, open behind, and with machinery
to look through ahead, you find him.—
He is the “Pathfinder ; he leads the
way in all times of danger, checks the
iron horse, or causes it to speed ahead
with the velocity of the wind, at will.
Ikave you ever siood by the track, of a
dark night, and w: atched the eo: ming and
passing of a train? Away off in the
darkness you discover a light, and you
hear a noise, and the earth trembles beneath your feet. The light comes nearer; youcan compare it to nothing but
the devil himself, with its terrible whistle; the sparks you imagine come from
Beelzebub’s nostrils—the fire underneath, that shines close to the ground,
causing you to believe the devil walks
on live coals.
It comes close to you, you back away
and shudder, you look up, and almost

beauty of the scenery. Cold,
muddy, dark night, it isthe same. Perhaps the tracks are overflowed with waperhaps some scoundrels have placed obstructions in the way, or trees
been overturned across the track; and
in either case is almost instant death—
to him, at least; but he stops not.—
Right on, isthe word with him, and on
he goes, regardless of danger, weather,
and everything, save the well doing of
his duty. Think of him, ye who shudand v illages,

of the ears, aud eet warm from the fire
that is kindled for your benefit.”
SMALL Pox.—The following arg some
of the most important conclusions embodied in the report of the committee on
vaccination of the French Academy of
sciences, Feb. 2fth, 1845.
1. “Small pox rarely attacks those
who have been vaccinated before the age
of ten or twelve, from which age until
thirty or thirty-iive, they are particularly Hable to small pox.
2. “Vaccine matter taken directly . ;
from the cow, causes local symptoms of
great intensity; its effects are also more
certain than those of old vaccine matter;
but after being transmitted for a few
weeks through ‘the human subject, the
es intensity disappears.
“Jt is pru ident to regenerate vaccine as frequently as possible, to preserve its protective power, and the only
mode of doing this deserving of confi— 2e@ is to procure it from the cow.
“Re-vaccination is the only known
ga Se of distinguishing those vaceinated persons that 1 remain protected from
ihose that do not.
“The success of re-vyaceination is
not a certain proof that the person in
whom it succeeds was liable to contract
small pox; it merely ettablishes a tolerably strong presumption that he was
"ae or less liable to take it.
. “In ordinary periods re-yaecinais should be practiced after fourteen
years, but sooner during an epidemic.”
er Under the domingo of the Celestial Empire, the Mantchoo Tartars
have remained for centuries upon centuries in the condition of nomads and
barbarians. Among those, however,
now brought under the Government of
Russia by the annexation of the country on the Amour, a decided change for
the better seems to be taking place.
Incited by the example of the Russians
who have settled among them, or in
their neighborhood, the ‘Partars are
abandoning their nomadic mode of life,
to become agrieulturists and learn handicrafts, and send their children to Russian schools. Many of them have obtained suflicient education to hopes

Give Him a Trane.—lIf Education
is the great buckler and shield of human
liberty, well developed Industry is equally the buckler and shield of individual
independence. Asan unfailingresource
through life, give your son, equal with
a good education, a good, honest trade.
Better any trade taan none, though
there is ample field for the adaption ‘of
every inclination in thisrespect. Learnbg professions and speculative employnents may pall aman, but an honest
heniborehs trade, seldom or never—if its
possessor chooses to exercise it. Let
him feel, too, that honest laborcrafts
are honorable and noble. The men of
trades—the real creators of whatever is
most essential to the necessities and
welfare of mankind—cannot be dispensed with; they, above all other, in whatever repute they may be held by gee
more fastidious fellows, must work :
the oar of human progress, or all is ae
But few brown handed trade-workers
think of this, or appreciate the real
position and power they compass.
Give your son a trade, no matter what
fortune he may have or seem likely to
inherit. Give hima trade and edueation—at any rate a tirade. With this he
can always battle with temporal want,
can always be independent—and better
is independence with a moderate education, than all the learning of the colleges
and wretehed temporal dependence-—
But in this free land there can be ordinarily no difficulty in securing both tke
education and trade, for every youth,
thereby fitting each and all to enter the
ranks of manhood defiant of those obstacles which intimidate so many tradeless, professionless young men. Such
are the peculiarities of fortune, that no
more outward possession can be counted
so absolutely secure or protective to
man. Hoarded thousands m: iy be swept
away ina day, and their once possessors left with neither the means of independence or livelihood.

honest and useful trade.
The sons of the rich as well as the

learning, no harm is done—while possibly it may be of incalculable good. it
is a weapon of assault, of defence, which
once fairly seized, can never be taken

given up by England to the French

pla The Emperor Napoleon III.,
has, it is said, decided that this place,
marked by sozvenirs so dear to France,
shall be repaired and kept in good condition under the direction of : some old
superior officer of the French army who
had served under the first Empire, and
who will have for his residence at St.
Helena the house which was in course
of construction for the Emperor at the
time of his death. This offieer, selected on the proposition of the Minister of
War, will have the official title of Conservator of the house and tomb of Napoleon [., St. Helena. The necessary
repairs are to commence immediately.
The tomb will be restored such as it
was at the period when it contained the
precious remains of the great man, and
a funeral chapel will be built on the
site of the dilapidated house which was
his last asylum and in which he died.
All the spots which have been immortalized by his presence, the hillock on
which he used to sit down and contemplate the sea, the place where he dictated his memoirs, the part of the road
where he used to stop in his rides, &e.,
will be marked by some construction.

It is said that fom Corwin, as he is .
familiarly called, was once trying a case
in which he was opposed by the late
Mr. Wirt, when the latter tried a most
novel mode of discrediting the evidence
of Corwin’s chief witness, on whose accuracy and discrimination every thing
turned, by showing that he was a person of astonishing “credulity.
Wirt—“Have you ever read Robinson Crusoe ?”’
Witness—‘Yes.”
Wirt—“Do you believe it all ?”
Witness—“ Well, yes, Squire, I don’t
know but what I do.”
The same answer was returned
Gulliver's Travels and several other
works of fiction, Corwin all the while
fidgeting and getting hot. Presently
Mr. Witt, considering the man entirely
flattened out, resigned him with 2 bland
smile.
Mr. Corwin said he had only one question, and put it.
Corwin—“Have you read Wirt’s Life
of Patrick Henry?”
Witness—“‘Yes.”
Corwin—‘Do you believe it all?”
Witness—* Why, no, Squire. I¢an’t
quite go that.”

report the same accordingly.
“Every member who shall see a gentleman visit a lady more than twice,
