SHARPE's RFLE.-This recently invented wCa-
pom, if it possesses one half the power and capa-
city claimed for it by its proprietor, is destined
to supercede every other weapon for warlke
purposes now in existence. 1t is the most eff
cacious and horrible fire-arm now in existence
The small carbinc now used by the United
States mounted men, throws ball with deadly
accuracy one quarter Of mile, and can be fred
ten times per minute. 1t is not complicated in
structure is easily cleaned, and suffers no inju-
ry from wet weather.
Mr.. Sharpe is now preparing models for four
new species of weapons, namely: small pock-
ct pistol. calculated to throw Minnie ball one
hundred yards; rife, suitable for footmcn,
with range of one mile; and a large gun to
throw two-Ounce ball, or small she'll. one mile
and half, or as far as a man and q horse Cal
be seen to advantage. With this latter weapon
Mr.. S. declares he can set on fire a house or a
ship at tie distance of nearly two miles, and
prevent the use of field artillery by killing the
horses before the guns are brought within good
range.
This rife in the bands Of a good marllesman
is equal to ten muskets. bGyonets and all; for,
place a man six rods distant with a musket and
bayonet, and before he can bring the bayonet
into use, the rife can be loaded and discharged
ten times. They carry balls with great precs-
ion and force. Mr.. Sharpe intends these rifles
to become a national weapon, and should Con
gress, by using a little liberality, purchase The
patent, the country would be possessed Of a
means Of warfare uncqualled in the world

MINERALS WE EAT.--"All know" says the
Portland Transcript, chat many men have q
great deal of brass in their composition, but per
haps all are not aware Of the variety Of miner
ais that enter into and form a part Of the human
system" A writer in Dickens's Household
Words thus tells the story:
"These minerals, which are interviewer with
the living structure Of the plant, are taken up
into the fabric Of the animal; and to US they are
as important as to the meancst vegetable that
grows. l. who write this boast myself living
flesh and blood. But lime strengthens my
bones; iron flows in my blood; flint bristles in
my hair; sulphur and phosphOrous quiver in my
flesh. In the human frame the rock moves, the
metal flows, and the materials of the earth,
snatched by the divine power of vitality from
the realms of inertia, live and move and form
part of a soul-tenanted frame. In the very Sc
cret chamber of the brain there lies a gland,
gritty with earthly mineral matter, which Des-
cartes did not scruple, with a crule scientific
impiety, TO assign as the residence Of the soul.
You could no more have lived and grown and
lourished without iron and SILICA, and potash,
and sodium, and magnesium, than wheat could
flourish without PHOSPHORUS, grass without sill
cia, cress without iodine, or clover without lime.
We are all of us, indeed, of the earth, earthly"

The Dayton Empire, speaking of Fremont,
says:-"ls this the man for our country, when
foreign nations threaten us with war? Is this
the man to guide the ship of state through the
present complications of our foreign affairs? Is
he the man to bring peace and quiet to the
country, by careful and patriotic management
of our internal affairs? He is not. 1t is no
time now for Rocky Mountain climbers and
Mariposa claim owners 1t is time for the
is time for the wise head, the patriotic heart,
and the strong, determined character. 1t is the
time for such men as James Buchanan. Dis
guise it as you may, conceal it to the utmost
extent of your ability, and yet the fact glares
you in the face, like an August sun, that James
Buchanan is the man for the times,

John Mitchell on the Presidential Election.
The following is the closing portion of a long
and able article from the pen of John Mitchell.
After adverting to the ultra-ism prevailing
to a great extent in the northern States on the
slavery question, he says:
Do not imagine, however, though | speak Of
the North collectively, that all, or nearly all
the people at the North cherish such designs
upon the rights of Confederate equals A very
strong minority even in the Northern States is
truly conservative. Whether these men term
themselves Wings or Democrats, they are more
attached to the Union than to Exeter Hail.
They know that the South is making no aggres-
sion, and can make none upon them; and they
are disposed to let the South and its institutions
alone. To this conservative body, the Irish
born citizens, who are strong at the North most
resolutely adhere. Needless to tell you that all
the South will vote IN globo, for whomsoever
else, against Fremont. Southern citizens, much
as it may surprise Exeter Hail. will barely ad-
NIT That they are lepers; will hardly submit to
be put in quarantine, on the diagnosis of Doctor
Parker; nor use the prescriptions of Doctor
Beecher-which indeed at bottom, are leaden
pills and phlebOtomy. In short, if Mr.. Fremont
be unhappily elected, his election will mean
simply the absolute dominion of the Northern
States over the Soutbern-in the matter Of Kan
sas first but in any other matter they please af-
terwards-a condition of things wholly unknown
to the Constitution and incompatible with the
Union.
But, as / said, to the Union and the COnsti-
tuition our Irish-born citizens are, even super
stitously, attached They are not excited by
the praise Of Exeter Hall, nor apprehensive of
its censure. They love not British opinion;
and of British philanthropy they have dear ex-
perience Moreover they, for their part have
never been able to see any dark guilt or hideous
disease in Southern life and conversation-that
they should join the virtuous people Of the
North in claiming it down. In short they are
conservative; they desire to let all things stand
as they are; imposing no restrictions that the
Constitution does not impose; and they take no
pleasure in hunting out and denOuncing a new
invented sin, seeing that, God knows, there are
old ones enough. Besides they dislike to hear
Saint Paul called a "doughface." Therefore
they wash their hands of the whole affair, as
British rubbish; and will, as | hope, vote against
Fremont, almost to a man-even though that
gentleman is q romantic adventurer; though he
rode hard to the aid of Kearney in conquering
California; though he killed grizzly bear, or at
least saw one killed; though he lassOed a woolly
horse for Mr.. Barnum; and though at school (as
worthy Dr. Roberton certifes) he loved his book,
and read half the first volume of GrBca MDora,
besides four books Of Homer; not to speak Of
Sallust and Cornelius Nepos-'P Piutarch, Nep-
tune and Nicodemus."

MUTATIONS OF FORTUNE.-Do you see that lady
in side box, who is dressed in palmer style
than any one else in this house? Her face
wears sweet expression. and seems so familiar
that Immediately on glancing at it we involun-
tarily ask ourselves where could we have seen
it before? What noble forehead she has-how
much expression is there in that finely curved
lip! 1t is the Dowager Countess of EsseX-her
lord, the late Earl having year or two since
paid the debt of nature. The Countess of Es-
seX's history is in itself romance of real life.
An old friend of mine tells me that he remem-
bers seeing her dirty, shoeess, and stocking
less girl nursing child, at the door of one of
the obscurest lanes in Bristol. She was, in fact,
a drabbish maid of all work. But even then
she was distinguished by her sweet voice; and
one day, as she was singing to the child she at
tended in the dingy alley, gentleman who cas-
ually passed by was struck by the rich melody
of her tones, and took it into his head to remove
her from her obscure situation, educate her and
have her taught the rudiments of the vocal art.
The pupil we'll rewarded the benevolent gen
tleman's eXertions: for ere many years had
passed away, the name Of Miss Stephens was
wei known all ovef tie musical world. The
Kitty Stephens of the dirty alley in Bristol soon
became the fascinating songstress of the metrOp-
oils, and stood, confessedly without rival
Her character was eXcelent-and amid thou
sand temptations, she preserved her purity of
mind and manners. The late Earl of Essex, on
the death of his wfe-a dsspated, heartless
votary of fashion-sought her hand; and cor
onet sparkled on the brow of Kitty Stevens
Into her new station, if she did not take to it
connections which increased its influence, she
carried virtues which adorned her position
The most rigid investigations, and the most en-
viOus attempts to deiame her. could not find a
speck on her character. Not long ago she be-
came, by the death of Lord Essex, dowager.

AN INCIDENT AT AN IMPERIAL BAII4--A grand
ball took place at Warsaw during the recent
visit of the Emperor. According to Russian ct
iquette, no subject who is not attached to the
Court can dance with the princesses Of the blood.
A young lieutenant Of Hussars, ignorant of the
established etiquette, asked the Grand Duchess
Olga to dance with him, and she, who saw by
his "orders" that he was a "Crimean," consent
ed. The Emperor, who saw his sister polking
with the young sub, sent for the latter as soon
as he had left his partner, and smilingly told
him he had committed an offence against eti-
quette. LAS hear,n continued the goodna-
tured monarch, "that you distinguished yourself
greatly at Sebastopol take you into my Ad-
iutantur; and now, as you are attached to the
Court, you can dance with the Grand Duchess
again if she has no objection"

THE RUNS OF NINEvAH.-Thc steamship Soho
has just arrived at london with the last c0nsign-
ment of Assyrian Antiquities from the ancient
Nmevah. They consist Of about fifty cases of
the most artistic sculptures yet discovered in
this earliest postidiluvan city, representing the
Queen of Assyra feasting under the shadow Of
the vine, the King engaged in a lion chase, and
after in the act of pouring forth libation.--
There is also a splendid and almost unbrohen
hunting series, comprising not only lions, but
wild asses caught in a moose or lasso; also
procession of the sportsmen bearing away birds,
hares NC, with their dogs, nets, aud other i'm
plements of capture and parsuit. But still
more interesting than even these treasure of
antiquity are the slabs bearing the famous in
scrption on the winged bull at the entrance Of
the Palace OF Senacherib, recording his memoT-
able expedition against IIezekiah the Sovereign
of Judah, in which lS5, 900 of his warriors, Gun
smote by the sword, = in single night, ''meltcd
like snow in the glance Of the Lord" an event
so sublmely described in the Hebrew Melo-
dies of Byron:
"And there lay the steed. with his nostrils all wide
But through it there rold not the breath Of his pride
And the foam Of his gaspng lay white on the turf,
