The Miseries of a Modern Hero.

Lieutenant Durham Massey, OF the III
English Regiment, in replying to an ar
ticle which recently appeared in a CO.
temporary, accusing him of an excessive
amount of foolish vanity in believing him
self a hero, denies, in a very proper
tone of repndiation, this somewhat dam
aging accusation. He devoutly thanks
God that he is not such a fool" as to
think himself a hero indeed, taking his
own estimate of the prosecutions to which
a hero is exposed, there are few, we APP
prehend, except the most eager for the
worlds applause, and for the sweet voices
of the mob, who would consent to endure
the civil attentions thus described by Mr..
Massey.
"Sir, YOU do not know the miseries of
being a hero. Penny-a-liners arrest your
servants as they go of errands, and ask
where you were born, where you were
brought up, who was your grandfather,
and who was your schoolmaster; and
some day you see a hideous biographical
caricature of yourself. A daguerrotypist
SEXES on you; an artist, pencil in hand,
waylays you; an engraver puts your iden-
thy upon proof; invitations to public BAN
quets come in upon you, on cards as large
as dinner plates young ladies', in p%rettily
folded notes, solicit your autograph. You
receive on overwhelming supply Of tracts
from ladies of a graver age; imaginary
poets harrass you with doggeral verses.
authors of bad books send you copies Of
their tiresome works; You are stared a
in the streets when your carriage stops
your horse is ~provokingly patted on The
neck; you are shouted at in the theatres
In fact, comfort and privacy are at an end
Now, all this is very well for a strong
able, IDLE Crimean hero who likes th'
thing, and who has health and strength t
bear it. But it is a very different thing
if by chance the unhappy victim, after 81
months lyiu" on his hack in M poSItioI

DEPTH OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC
From the top of C%himborazo to the bot
tom of the Atlantic, at the deepest place
yet reached by the plummet in the North
Atlantic, the distance in a vertical line is
nine miles. The deepest part of the At
lantic is probably between the Bermudas
and the Grand Banks. The waters of
the Gulf of Mexico are held in a basin
about a mile deep in the deepest part.
There is, at the bottom of the sea, between
Cape Race in Newfoundland and Cape
Clear in Ireland, a remarkable steppe.
which is already known as the telegraph
ic plateau. The great circle distance be-
tween those two shore lines, is 1900
miles, and the sea along this route is
probably nowhere more than 10000 feet
deep.

ITEMS OF FOREIGN NEWS.

Experiments are being made on several
of the French railroads, of certain appa-
ratus destined to enable the substitution Of
coke by coal. One apparatus consisting
of a number of elevated CRATES, which
rise one above another in successive lay
ers, and form a species of stairs, is found
TO possess particular merits-it produces
scarcely any smoke, and by means of this
system a decided economy will be obtained
by the use of coal instead of coke.
There are engines manufactured by
several individuals in this country, Gone
in particular made by Ross WrNANs, of
Baltimore burns coal inthe best manner,
and without quite so many firms as the
above, and we think our manufacturers
had better send a sample of their engines
to France for inspection.-Ep.

Our citizens were visited on Monday
last by a slight fall of snow, which lays on
the ground at the time of working off our
paper. There is not, however, sufficient
to allow of the running of sleighs, and
therefore, with the exception of those who
enjoy snow.balling, it is of very little adj
vantage to anybody, and only makes it
very bad walking.
