The Enfield and MIME Rifles.

In these piping times of war, a great
deal in print and hear much nonsense talked about
the Enfield and MIME rifle. 1t is most generally
supposed that the Enfield and MINES are peculiar
rifles, the one French and the other English. both
invented by men whose names have been given to
these firearms The Enfield derives its name from
the place where it is ma de, namely, the govern
ment armory at Enfield, Englar and it is in
most respects like the AmericaI- army rifle, made
at Springfield, Massachusetts. The barrel of it
is formed of the best charcoal iron, its length is
80 inches /; bore $50 of an inch it has three
grooves-I-l6 of an inch wide and 500th of an
inch deep. The pitch of the grooves is 6 feet 3
inches. hollow conical ball, with plug of
lockwood in the base, is used in this rifle. A grad
uated back sight, set for ranges from 800 TO ,O60
yards. is fixed on all the Enlelds.
The MIME rifle derives its name from Lieutcn-
ant MIME, Of the French infantry, who first APP
piled the hollow expanding bull ct to the army
rifle, and by whose exertions it first brought
into actual use. The French rifles have four
grooves, 0,2759 inches in width, 007SS in Depth
and one turn in 6 feet The bullet is hollow and
conical Formerly, elevatng sights were fixed
on ell the French army rifles, but these have been
supposed with so as to render the arms more sim
pie. The back sight of the rifle is elevated at
18 of an inch above the barrel A French soldier
of the line aims at the wast-band of the foe; and
with his good rifle sight he is to strike him
within or at $50 yards distant. When firing a.
great distance, he uses his thumb nail for back
sight, by placing it across the barrel, and by long
practice III judging of distance by the eye, he OBJ
tains wonderful precision in his aim The special
corps of Chasseurs and Zouaves have elevating
sights on their rfes.-Scientifc American.

Thrilling Adventure with Two Large
SnakeS

(From the St Joseph (Mich.) Traveller, June -. }
We learn that James Graham, ESQ.,, our up
and-dsessed Sheriff. whose adventure with the
wolf, which it will be recol!ected he skated down
and caught on the river last winter an exploit, by
the way, that has been copied into almost every
paper in the United States yesterday was the hero
of adventure more wonderful than the one
above alluded to. While crossing piece of
marshy ground bordering the Northern bayou
near this village, in company with small boy, he
discovered two ext raOrdnary large blue-racer
snakes just ahead of him, and although armed
with nothing but an insignificant stick, he resolved
at once to endeavor to dispatch the Monsters
Therefore by describing circle he headed them
off ana hemmed them in next the water which
This species of reptile dslikes exceedingly, but as
he approached nearer ard nearer the largest one,
with head erect, turned upon bin, and in an IN
slant coiled its strong sincwy body about his legs
with such tenacity that it was impossible for him
to move from his tracks without falling over. But
in spite of this try ing predicament the Sheriff
not much alarmed until he saw the other snake,
which had meantime been running from side to
side. suddenly started towards him ard with the
quckness of lightning leaped upon him, catching
his right arm in his embrace and binding it to his
body if it had been secured with chains of steel,
and OF course notwithstanding he strained every
nerve in the effort, he could not release it, With
his left hand he drew a sheath-nife from a breast
pocket of his coat and made short work of sew
ering the coils of his disagreeabe foes. The lar
gest OF these monsters measured seven feet, four
and one-haf inches, and the other five feet eight
inches in length. The Sheriff says tn at the ter
rible embrace OF the large reptile equal to the
strength which two men co. Id bring to bear on
rope about persons limbs, and was extremely
painful. while the quickness of their movements
was indeed astonishing. He brought away their
heads as trophies of his victory.

About 4 o'clock Monday evening, after the

came to Rocheport on the ferry boat, which they
pressed into their service in the morning, and pro
goods, particularly for sundry kegs OF powder
which they heard had some weeks since been sent
there from Jefferson City by Gov. Jackson. After
noisng around to their hearts content among the
warehouses and other suspected localities, they
gave up the search as useless but determining
not to go away empty, they seized and carried off
several kegs powder belonging to Harris, Ste

for Capt Triplette, intimating that as he was a
