An Internal Machine.

The Baltimore Republican tells queer
story in connection with the search for
arms that has been going on in that city.
As a detachment of fedora! soldiers were
pokinc about in cellar. they stumbled
on singu)ar.looking machine, with
long tin funnel, which had been partially
concealed in one corner. They were
about to remove the affair from the house
when the lady of house rushed toward
them and begged them not to touch lt,as
it was filled with powder. The words
had hardly escaped her lips, when the
soldi rs rushed pell-mell out OF the door
and only halted upon hearing hearty
burst of laughter from the lady, who
upon being interrogated. informed that i
was a patent German sausage machine.

Dixie Mea MS Heaven.

Russell, in one of his letters TO the
London Times, says:
That "Dixie's Land is a synonym for
Heaven. 1t appears that there was once
a good planter, named "Dixie," who
died at some period unknown, to the in
tense grief of his animated property
They found expressions for their sorrow
in song, and consoled themselves by ca
moring in verse for their removal to the
land to which Dixie had departed, and
where probably the revered spirit would
be greatly surprised to 6ud himself il
their company. Whether they were i'll
treatsd after he died, and thus had reas
on to deplore bis removal or merely de
sired Heaven in the abstract, nothing
known enables me to assert. Blu: Dixie

Everett en- the War.

Recently, on the eve Of departure Of a
band of patrio. soldiers for the seat Of
war, Mr.. Everett addressed them brief
ly, from which we extract:
l deprecate, more than I can express,
a war with the South. You know mr. po-
litical course. Logan, .he Indian chief,

duliiully, and affectionately. Twas will

Of the administration. But the South ha.
willed it otherwise. She hos struck

unrighteous war is what my conscience

Value Of Trained Soldiers.

Allison, in hts History OF Napoleon,
cites the language of that great general
in discussing the question of how much
time is required 10 make reliable sold
ier. In a convers alton respecting the ma
val conscription, Truget observed, much
longer time Is required to form sailor
than soldier. The latter may be train
ed in all his duties in six months" Ma
poleon replied: "There never was so grea,
mistake. Nothing can be more dan
gerous than to propagate such opinions.
If acted upon they would speedily lead to
the dissolution of the army. At Jemep
pc there were $4,000 French against 9,
900 Austrians. During the first foul
years OF the war, all the hostile operation:
were conducted in the most ridiculous
manner. 1t was neither the voluL teer
nor the recruits who served the republic
it was the 10000 old troops of the mon
arci-y, and the discharged veterans whom
the revolution impelled to the frontier
Part of the recruits deserted, part died;
small portion only remained, who, in tb
process of time, formed good soldiers.-
Why have the Romans done such grea
things? Because six years instruction
were, with them, required to make a sol
der. A legion composed of three thou
sand such men were worth thirty thou
sand ordinary troops. With fifteen thou
sand such men as the Guards, / woul,
everywhere beat forty thousand. Yo
