ANY, one considering the advantages Of Iron!
over Rope material for binding cotton bales,
viii be surprised tl t it has not been adopted
long since. In il security against fire there is
an ovtr'w' ',clning reason for its adoption. e
The ptcsscs i'll the Seaport Cities have been
the mail cause of its rot being generally adoptf
ed; but, now that s1Jcction-iS removed gener-s
ally, and the Orleans Press. the largest in n. O.,
give it the preference over rope. The Fassmann
Iron Hoop and Tie is the improvement of one
of the proprictors. and is adopted from the fact
that il is found. after long experiment to COM
bine the g1eatest merits in simplicity and fawi s
Of application of any one yet made. 1t is SO
prepared as to require no change for recon-
pressing. Thus obviating the only remaining
difficulty at the sea board cities
The hoops are sent of any length from eight
to ten feet, and a full guarantee given that
neither the Ties nor Hoops shall break Aud
further, that all cotton bound in them shall be
received on the same terms at the Orleans Press
as rope bound cotton. The weight per bale is
about the same as rope, not one pound more or
less.
To show the opinion Ship Masters have of it,
we give the following, among numerous COM
mendations we have:
The undersigned masters of vessels having
had cotton compressed with Fassmann's new Iron
Hoops and Ties hereby recommend the same
The bales being well compressed, and the but
tons or hoops never breaking when thrown
down in the ships hold: or when slowed.

though entirely unsupported, held its
position with resolution worthy Of his

Toby Tries HIS GUS-Toby is a high
private in the First Regiment Of the
Mississippi army. His company is
armed with the breech-loading Maynard
rifle, warranted to shoot twelve times
minute, and to carry a ball effectively
1860 yards. U.s. Men who fought at Mon
terey and Bucna Vista call the new
tangled thing pop-gun." 10 test It's
efficiency, Toby's captain told the men
"they must try their guns" In obedi-
ence to command Toby procured the
necessary munitions Of war, and started
with his pop-gun" for the woods. Saw
a squirrel up a very high tree-took aim
fired. Effects Of shot immediate and
and wonderful Tree efectually topped,
and nothing of the squirrel to be found
except three broken hairs. 9 Pop-gun'
rose in value-equal to four-pounder.
But Toby wouldn't shoot towards any
more trees-afraid of being arrested for
cutting other peoples timber. Walked
a mile and quarter to get a sight OF a
hill By aid of d small telescope, saw
hill in distance; saw large rock on hill;
put in big load; shut both eyes-fred.
As soon as breath returned. opened eyes;
could see-just could, but couldn't hear
at least, couldn't distinguish any
sounds; thought Niagara had broken
loose, or ali outdoors gone to drum beat
ing. Determined to see if shot hit.
Borrowed horse, and started towards
hill. After travelling two days and
nights, reached place; saw setting sun
shining through the hill. Knew right
away that was where the shot hit. Went
closer-stumble over rocky fragments
scattered for half mile in line Of bullet.
Came to ,hole-knew the bullet hit there,
because saw lead ON the edges-walked
in, walked through; saw teamster on
other side, "indulging in profane Ian
guage"-in fact, "cussin considerable"
because lightning had killed his team.
Looked as finger directed: saw six dead
oxen in line with hole through the noun
tain; knew that was the bullets work,
but didn't say SO to to#angry teamster.
Thought best to be leaving; in conse-
quence, didn't explore path of bullet any
further therefore, don't know where it
stopped; don't know whether it stopped
at. all-in fact, rather think it didn't.
Mounted horse; rode back through the
hole made by the bullet; came home;
put gun away; but never told captain
word about it; to tell truth, was a little
afraid he would think it hoax. :" Its
right big story, boys" said Toby, IN
conclusion, "but it'strue, sure as shoot
ing. Nothing to do with the Maynard
rife but load her up, turn North and
pull trigger; if twenty of them don't
| clear out all Yankeedom, then Pm liar
that's ALL" [Oxford Intelligencer
