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 . he goes, day after day, night after night. Moor light evenings ‘he swee ps over the . country, through cities through fairy scenes and forest clearings. He looks through the square holes at his side and enjoys the moonlight, but he cannot to enjoy the 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, stop der through fear in the cushioned seats . 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 officers in the regiments of the Bury Cossacks, and two young men Piss among these Mongols are already finishing their studies ‘at the University of Kasan, one of the best and, even under the late rigid reign, the most liberal in Russia. ‘his gave an evidence of the capacity of the Mongolian race for a higher mental culture. rainy, . on the devil’s back rides the engineer ; perh: aps the ‘machine’ shrieks, and you . imagine the en is applying ‘the spur to the devil’s sides. A daring fel jlow, that engineer—you can’t help saying so, aud you wont ler wherein lies x ples asure of being an engineer. But so 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. He was a Scandavian King, who decreed that his sons must learn useful trades or be cut off from their expected princely fortunes. They demurred, but obeyed the decree. T he elde st, as the easiest trade to learn, to basket making. in his father’s in time he reigned In time, also, revolution came upon, and overthrew him, and he fled disguised, wandering and companionless save his wife and children, his sole resource for a_liveli7 stead. hood was reeurrence to his humble, but honest and useful trade. The sons of the rich as well as the should be strengthened by this ion. If never used beyond 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 roma man’s grasp. Think of it, parents; examine hoy’s “bumps,” or rather study “bent of their minds,’’ and tastes,—and as one of the best and most lasting services you can do them, apply them to learning hones trades. poor, Nossec . ( your the Napo.eron’s RestpENCcE aT St. HeLENA.—The Moniteur de? Armee in announcing that Longwood, the residence of Napoleon at St. Helena, has been given up by England to the French Goy srnment, adds some details relative to the measures which will be adopted for the repairs and proper kee eping of the repairs and proper keeping of jhe 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. A Goop Oxe—The following good one is from the Toledo Blade: applied himself ‘. . r . . {4 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.” The following is, , perhaps, the meanest thing ever written : Why was St. Paul like a horse ? cause he loved Timothy. as to Be. lowance WHOLE NUMBER 370. Fatror tue ApostLes.—St. Mathew is supposed to have suffered martyrdom, or been put to death by the sword, ata city in Ethiopia. St. Mark was dragged through the streets of Alexandria, in Egy pt, until he expired. St. Luke was hanged upon an olive tree in Greece. St. John was put into a eauldron of boiling oil, at Rome, and eseaped death. He afterwards died a natural death at Ephesus, in Asia. St. James, the Great, was beheaded at Jerusalem. St. James was thrown from a pinnacle or wing of the temple, and then beaten to death with a fuller’s club. St. Philip was hanged up against a pillar at Hieropolis, a city of Phryg gia. St. Bartholomew was flayed alive “by 20° eraprec of a barbarous king. Andrew was bound to a cross, Met he preached to the people till he expired. St. Thomas was run throughthe body by a lance, at Coromandel, in the Hast Indies. St. Jude was shot to death with TOWS. St. Simcon Zelotes was crucified in Persia. St. Mathias was first stoned and then beheaded. arTEHAUN'TEPEC Rov TE.— of the 14th of May, says: “The directors of the Tehauntepec transit route met with much success, yesterday, in disposing of the bonds of the Company, The amonnt required is -$100,000, and when this Is obtained, no more bonds will be issued. A large portion of this sum has already been taken, and those who desire to make investmeuts will have but a few days left them. ‘To-day a large schooner leaves this city for Minatitlan, freighted with materials for building warehouses , bridg&e.

The way home was so dizzy that I “slipped upon a little log—the corner of the street bit me— and an old gentleman with cropped ears and brass collar on his neck said he longed to the dog—and I was—you understand—hic—that is, I don't know nothing more about it.” A Roresrrs’ Cave Great WeatTu.—-It to very few persons in time, that a discovery has been made in the interior of Ken tucky, on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, by a poor family who lived in this city.

Muchinjured by the fall, the young man, in casting about him for some means wherewith to get out, discovered . numbers of iron safes and strong boxes, which, upon investigation, were found to contain gold and silver coin, jewelry, and other valuables to a fabulous amount. The plantation on which all this treasure was found does not belong to the fortunate discoverers, who only leased the property, and from motives of security they have kept the secret of their good fortune to themselves. An eminent legal gentleman of this city is about interesting himself to secure ‘the fortunate family in the ownership of these great treasures, the results of whose thor 3 in connection with other particulars, we will give in a few days. .
