a NOVEL PRoJECT.-Mr. Norman

a NOVEL PRoJECT.-Mr. Norman
Wizard, Of GAINESVILLE, has been engaged
for year or two past, in perfecting o
plan to propel boats on ice during the
winter months on our northern rivers.
The plan of Mr.. Wizard is to be put to
a practical test, during the present win
ter, on the Mississippi, and strong hopes
are entertained of its success.
Many of our nayigable rivers are
locked up with ice some four or five
months during the year, and should Mr..
Wards invention succeed, great OBJ,
stacle to commerce on rivers in the
winter season will be removed.
The boat is built of iron, and is sew
enty-two feet long by twelve feet broad,
with flat bottom, and two keels running
the whole length. fit breaks through
the ice or encounters an air hole, ma
chinery IS prepared, which, in few
minutes, puts it again on the ice ready
for onward progress. The driving
wheel is near the stern, and the invent
or calculates the ordinary speed on the
ice at twenty to forty miles an hour,
and with clear, solid ice, he believes his
vessel can easily be made to attain a
speed Of eighty miles. The cabin is
twelve by forty feet, and the capacity
of the boat is rated at one hundred pas
sengers and five tons Of freight. The
entire boat when loaded with passen-
gers and cargo, is calculated to weigh
thirty-two tons.

The Future Of Piedmont.

| Every lover of freedom feels an interest in
! the future prospects of Sardinia. With institu.
| tons comparatively elastic and free, thouoh
| surrounded by Gordon of despotic States, this
httIe Kingdom has advanced stea Oily in intelli-
| gence and wealth and in all the elements which
promote the prosperity of a nation. It pre-.
sents the singular spectacle Of Catholic ma
ton, in which the power of the priests is sub
ordinate, and of a kingdom in which the rulers
govern intelligently for the good of the people.
Even in England the statesmen are generally
behind the people, and yield reluctantly to the
social reforms OF the age; but in Piedmont the
| statesmen initiate the reforms, and carry them
| forward in opposition to the ignorant preiudices
OF the people. The N Y. Evangelist has an in
terestng letter from a correspondent, from
which we make the following extracts:
| . Sardinia is the foremost State of Italy, not
only III its civil constitution but in its religious
liberty. Though nomnally and perhaps sin
cerely Roman Catholic in its faith, the govern
ment has shown great Jealousy Of papal dicta-
ton, and will not submit to edicts from Rome
The relation Of the two courts, if not one of
| open war, is at best but armed neutrality
The king, though of course he calls himself a
Catholic. (and is ready, like the young student
at oxford, to subscribe, not only to the thirty
nine articles, but forty if they wished } does
not trouble himself much about any religion
Ills principle articles of faith are to hate the
! liberty, and to dream Of italian Independence
From all hear, he is true liberal, not merely
from policy, but in heart. He is much more
democratic in his manners than his predeces-
sorS and has abolished much of the foolish ETH
quotte of The court. Such is the man who is
now the hope of Italy. Even in Lombardy,
the ardent republicans of 1S48 now admit that
the only hope Of Italian independence is Victor
Emmanuel. 1t would be madness for the patri-
OTIS to attempt revolution against Austria, I'M
less led on by some well organized power like
that of Sardinia.
" The spirit Of the king is strongly backed
by his court and people. Count Cavour who
is the head of the cabinet, is man of remark
able liberality in his political opinions He ap-
preciates clearly the present condition of Eu-
rope, and the part which his country may be
called to act, and he has at once the capacity
and courage to hold her firmly IN her place as
the vanguard of the free nations of the CONT
nent. The people themselves feel that they are
predestined to drive the Austrians out of Italy,
and they are impatient for the day to come"

THE DAILY CRoss.-The difficulty in
religion is the taking up the cross daily,
rather than the taking it up on some
set occasion, and under extraordinary
circumstances. The serving God in
little things; the carrying Of religious
principles into all the minute Of life,
the discipline of our tempers, the reg
ulation Of our speech, the domestic
Christianity, the momentary sacrifices,
the secret and unobserved selfdenials !;
who that knows any thing of the diff
culties Of piety, does not know that
there is greater danger of his falling in
these, than in trials of far greater cost
and sterner endurance? 1t is not, COM
paratively, hard to put the armor on,
when the trumpet sounds, but it is to
keep the armor on when there is 40
alarm of battle. And the warfare with
our spiritual enemies is not warfare in a
series of pitched battles, with intervals
for resting and recruiting; it is rather
daily, hourly, momentarily fighting
this is the driving out, by little and
little" to which the Almighty promises
" the reward of the Inheritance -Re0.

Manuring in the Hill.

AN cid friend of ours--One sick and
tired of the care and hustle Of city life.
has retired into the country, and 'Sgone
to farming as the saying is. His land,
albeit well situated and commanding
sundry fine prospects, is not so particu-
larry fertile as some we have seen-re-
curing scientific culture and a liberal
system OF manuring to induce an abun-
dant yield. So far by way of explana-
ton.
Once upon time our friend being
upon visit to New Orleans, was atten-
ding an auction sale down town, and as
it so happened, they were selling dam
aged sausages at the time. There were
some eight or ten barrels Of them, and
they were '.iust going at SO cents bar
rel, !" when the auctioneer, with all APP
parent seriousness remarked that they
were worth more than that to manure
land with. Here was an idea. "Sixty-
two and half cents,-third and last
call-gone p retorted the auctioneer.
Cash takes them at sixty-two and a
half cents per barrel -
To have them shipped to his country
seat was the immediate work of our
friend, and as it was then planting time
and the sausages to use a common
phrase, "were getting no better very
fast, to have them safe underground
and out Of the way, was his next move
ment. He was about to plant field of
several acres Of eorn-the soil Of the pi
ny wood speoies-so here was lust the
spot for this new experiment. in agri-
culture, this new wrinkle in the science
of geoponics. One ''link" of sausages
being deemed amply sufficient, that
amount was placed in each hill, accom-
panied by the kernels ofcorn and an oc-
casional pumpkin seed and all were COW
cred over in the usual style. Now, af-
ter promising that several days have &C.
Cured since the corn was planted, the
sequel of the story has to be told in a
dialogue between our friend and one of
his neighbors.
Neighbor-Well, friend have you
planted your corn?
Friend.-Yes, several days since.
Ms it up yet?
Ftp yes ; and gone; the most of
it.
N.-How is that?
F.-Well, you see, I bought lot Of
damaged sausages the other day in New
Orleans, smooth tongue of an auction
eer saying they would make excellent
manure, if nothing else [ brought the
lot over, commenced planting my corn
at once, as it was time, planted sau-
sage in each hill, and
N.-Well, and what?
F.--And felt satisfied that I had
made good job of it. Some days af-
forwards | went out to see how the corn
was coming on, and a pretty piece Of
business | have made of trying agricul-
t,lral experiments.
N.-Why, what was the matter?
F.--Matter! The first thing l saw
before reaching the field was the great
est lot Of dogs digging and scratching
al over it! There were my dogs, and
your dogs, and all the neighbors' dogs,
besides about three hundred strange
dogs | never set my eyes on before, and
every one was hard at it mining after
the buried sausages. Somehow or 9TH
er, the rascally whelps had scented out
the business, and they have dug every
hill by this time. If / could set every
dog of them on that auctioneer, I'd be
satisfied.

SENDING NEWSPAPERS AND PAMPH-
LETS TO EURoPE.-Per sons who send
newspapers and pamphlets 10 Europe
should be careful not to enclose them
in wrappers, as it subjects them to let
ter postage, generally 50 high that the
papers are refused by the person to
whom they are directed. A gentleman
just returned from England informs the
Philadelphia Ledgey that he saw bas-
kets Of American newspapers and
pamphlets in one Of the English post
Offices, which had been thrown aside
on this account. 1.-THE newspapers are
tied around with a piece Of twine or
cord, they viii go as well as if in q
wrapper, and the postage is then the
ordinary price for newspapers. The
fact that many newspapers and pamph-
lets fail to reach persons in. England
and France, to whom they are directed,
may be accounted for in this way

How PRrsCoTT LOST MS EYEs1GHr
The Salem Mass Registe, in speak
ing of the death Of Prescott the histori-
an, mentions the following important
though unpleasant incident CT his life
We have heard that the accident
which deprived Prescott of the use OF
one eye, and subsequently so impaired
the power of vision in the other, was
occasioned by blow from crust OF
bread thrown across the room by fell
low student in Commons Hall, near the
close of his college career, This seem
ing calamity changed the whole current
of his life, which he intended to devote
to legal pursuits, and finally led him into
chat brilliant career a3 q historian, III

BARNUM ''sTILL LIVES. 1T has gen
orally been thought that p. T. Barnum,
the great Snowman, was used-up man.
1t seems, however, that people have
been mistaken, and that he is still prac-
Using his old tricks, Judging from the
following extract from New York cor
respondent Of the Charleston Is. c.
Neaos ... ......
"Apropos of lectures and Lecturers,
a private letter from London states that
Barnpm is clearing 800 per week. The
lecture How to make Money was pre-
pared for him by popular literary gen
tleman Of this city, who edits ga inter
esting weekly Journal. The price paid
for it by the real Snowman was Just
twenty-five dollars. Its all bosh about
Barnlnn having lost his all when he
failed here. He still has control Of the
Museum here, his lease having nineteen
years to run yet, at m annual rental Of
$4,000. He has repeatedly been Of
fered bonus Of 1000 for his lease.
He also owns (though it is in somebody
else's name) nearly d whole block in the
most valuable and populous part OF
Broadway, adjoining the theatre OF
Laura Keene, which is probably worth
a quarter Of a million Of dollars"

sB The Yankee who went to So

sy~ The Yankee who went to Sc
yatopol to raise the British war ships,
sunk there two years ago, reports pro
gress as follows:
I have contracted to entirely clear
the harbor in two years from this time,
and the work shall be promptly done.
If the Russian government should not
purchase the fleet recovered, shall be
in good condition to enter into CON
tract with any respectable government
to lombard, conquer or destroy either
Of the minor powers. I would not
mind Turkey, Spain, or even India
The question is, how much is offered !?
My fleet will be quite as numerous as
the United States, # not as effective.
There are also five fine war steamers,
with copper boilers, that I shall take up
in the spring. The boilers alone weigh
~ tons each, and are worth $22 900
each for old copper, j. E. CowEN.

Explosive Fierce of GunpoWder.

The estimated force of gunpowder
when exploded, is at least fourteen
thousand seven hundred pounds upon
every square inch of the surface which
confines it. The force of gunpowder
depends upon the fact that, when
brought in contact with any ignited
substance, it explodes with great VIC
lence; vast quantity of gas, or elastic
fluid, is emitted, the sudden production
of which, at high temperature, is the
cause Of the violent effects which are
produced. The reason that gunpow-
der is manufactured in little grains, is
that it may explode more quickly, by
facilitating the passage of the flame
among the particles; in the form Of the
dust the particles would be too com
pact. The velocity Of balls impelled
by gunpowder from a musket, with a
common charge, has been estimated at
about sixteen hundred and fifty feet in
a second Of time when first discharged );
the velocity that can be given to can
non ball is two thousand feet per sec
ond, and this only at the moment of
leaving the gun In order to increase
the velocity from sixten hundred and
fifty to two thousand feet, one half more
powder is required; and even then, at
a long shot, no advantage is gained,
since at the distance of five hundred
yards, the greatest velocity that can be
obtained is only twelve or thirteen hun
dred feet per second. Great charges of
powder are, therefore, not only useless,
but dangerous for while they give but
little additional force to the ball, they
hazard the lives Of many by their liza
bility to burst the gun. The velocity
is greater with long than with short
guns, because the influence of the ball
upon the powder is longer continued.

HEAT FROM THE STARs.-1t is a start
ling fact, that if the earth were depend
ent alone upon.the sun for heat, it would
not get enough to make the existence
of animal and vegetable life upon its
surface. Itresults from the researches
Of Pouillet, that the stars furnish heat
enough in the course of year to melt
a crust Of ice sseyenty-fiye feet thick,
almost as much as is supplied by the
sun. This may appear strange when
we consider how UNNECESSARILY small
must be the amount of heat received
from any one of these distant bodies.
But the surprise vanishes, when we re
member that the whole armament is so
thickly sown with stars, that in some
places thousands are crowded together
within space no greater than that &C.
