TIE GLOBE WE LIVE ONT is known as a fact
in geology, that below the depth Of thirty feet
the earth becomes regularly warmer as we de-
scend. On an average the increase is at the rate
Of one degree of Fahcrcnhcit for every fifth loot.

Of one thousand two hundred feet, the themom-

heat. At this rate rocks and metal would be
melted twenty miles below the surface, and down
in the bowels of the carth several hundred miles,
,bc heat would be ten thousand times hotter
Than melted iron. Who is there that can won-

The Athens, (Ga) Herald thus summarily
disposcs of the arguments Of both parties in the
present Presidential campaign:
We have been greatly amused, we must con-
fess-the thug is really laughable, and will move
the risbles OF any one who occupies the position
Of a 'looker on''-bv observing the course taken
by the two parties to prove the fitness and unfit
ness of their respective candidates for the Pre>i-
dcncv Gen Scott, it is stoutly maintained, IS
fit for that Office, because he fought the battle
of Lunly's Lame and some dozen other battes!!. !.
and is unfit rt, hecause he is charged while
captain with having on one occasion withheld
the pay of his soldiers few days-thc same
amounting TO less than fifty dollars !! General
Pierce is fit for that distinguished Office, because
he WAS "n Congress about nine years ago." be-
Ieved in the justice Of the Mexican war, and at
forwards 'it blcd and died" for his country !
And he is unfit for it, forsooth, because it is al
crcd he fell off his horse Oh one occasion and
tainted on another
This is the sum and substance of the argyll
ment Oh both sides, and we hope that those who
can quarrel and dispute about such trifleS "will
have a good time of il"
In the name of all that is funny, what has the
fighting or fainting of either of these gentlemen
to do with the office of President? They have
both been amply paid for every thing they ever
did, and as TO talking about the people owing
either Of them, it is all humbug. We don't be-
cve the people owe such men, but on the con-
trary that they are indebted to the people more
than they can ever pay. 1t is the duty of each
citizen to do all he can for the Repubic-and
the very best Of men, therefore, quit even.
