An Internal Machine.

General Walker, it is stated, has
been supplied with a new war-engine
of such sufliciency and deadly in
strumentality as to meet The title
of an 'sinfernal machine. In form
it resembles a small grind-stone,
turned by crank, and will discharge
800 one-ounce balls every minute,
attended by only two men. Every
machine is calculated to destroy
three regiments of soldiers in the
same space of time. 1t can be d.
rected with the same ease as a com
mon rife is handled. The inventor,a
Yankee. is now experimenting before
the Admiralty. The gun, or ma
chine, discharges without report,
and sends ball three times the
distance of the ordinary rifle or can
non. as the case may be. This is
the story told by the New York pa
pers.

Artificial Cold.

We see it statedin an exchange pa
per that machine has been invented
in Ohio, and is now in operation at
the ironworks on Cuyahoga river,
for procuring cold by artificial means.
1t is worked by steam power. A
pump is put in motion, which ex-
hausts the air out of Hues which
surround a cast iron freezer. Ether
is then passed through the flues.
In an experiment Of which we have
an account, the temperature within
:he freezer was reduced to twenty
four degrees below zero, which was
the lowest degree The thermometer
used would mark. The use for which
the machine was intended was the
conversion of water into ice in trop-
ical climates, and it was successful,
blocks of ice being formed in the
freezer, weighing thirty pounds each.

Marriage and Death

1t seems to be a mooted question
yet, among some men, whether death
or marriage is an event of the most
solemnity. A gentleman over in
Wilson county, few days ago, made
up his mind to settle the dispute by
an experiment; so he got married one
day and hung himself the next!-
Few people would care to abandon a
young, and no doubt lovely BRIDE
all brides are lovely-so suddenly.
Few men would feel willing to ex-
change the arms Of love for those of
death. at so brief an invitation. But
no doubt our experimentalist was a
philosopher-or,p perhaps, having made
up his mind as to the mysteries of
matrimony, he found himself deceived,
and retreated in the only manner he
conceived most effectual. He may
have insisted on the poetic idea, be-
fore marriage, that woman is an an
gel. The wedding, of course, brought
his opinion to the prose of every
day life. The "snow-white wings Of
the divinity degenerlted, cn close in
spection, into a row of hooks and
eyes and pair of sturdy arms; the
flowing robes into boiled whalebone
and crinoline; and the plumpness Of
health into cotton-batting. Poor fell

he had got something far better, a
real woman, there would be no limit
to the price of hemp, should even the
article not become wholly extinct in
