Toby Tries his u

Toby is high private IN the first rcgi-
mcnt of the Mississippi army. His
company is armed with the breechload-
ing Maynard rifle, warranted to shoot
twelve times a minute, and carry a ball,
effectively, 1000 yards" Men who
fought at Monterey and Buena Vista,
cali the new tangled thing a "pop-gun."
To test its efficiency, Toby's captain
told his mel "they must try their guns"
In obedience to command, Toby pro-
cured the necessary munitions of war,
and started with his "pop-gun" for the
woods. Saw squirrel up a very high
tree-took aim-fired. Effects of shot
Immediately and wonderful. Tree effec-
tually topped, and nothing of the squir-
rel to be found except three broken
hairs. ~"Pop-gun" rose in value-cqual
to a f~our-pounder. But Toby wouldn't
shoot toward any more trees-afraid of
being arrested for cutting down other
peoples timber. Walked a mile and a
qualter to get sight of a hill. By aid
of a small telescope, saw hill in dis
lance ; made ready f; took aim at rock /;
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
all out doors gone to drum-beating.-
determined to see if shot hit. Borrow
ed horse and started towards hill. At
ter travelling two days and nights
reached place I; saw setting sun shin
ing through the hill. Knew, right
away, that was where the shot hit
Went closer stumbled over rocky
fragments scattered for half a mile in
line of bullet. Came to h~ole-knew
the bullet hit there, because saw lead
on the edges-walked in, walked right
through /; saw teamster on the other
side, INDUCING in profane language /;
in fact, "cussin' considerable because
lightning had killed his team. Looked
as his finger directed saw six dead
oxen in line with the hole through the
mountain ; knew that was the bullets
work, but didn't say so to angry team
ster. Thought best to be leaving in
consequence, didn't explore path of bull
let any further /; therefore, don't know
whether itstopped at all in fact rather
think it didn't Mounted horse-rode
back through the hole made by the bull
let came home ; put gun away +; but
never told Captain a word about it I; to
tell truth, was little afraid he would
think it a hoax. 1T is right big story,
boys said Toby in conclusion, but it's
true, sure as shooting. Nothing to do
with the Maynard rifle but load her up,
turn her north, and pull trigger /; if
twenty of them don't clean out all
lankeedom, then Pm a liar, that's ALL
aOrfOrd Mas. } InteRigenoer.

INTERIOR OF TIE EAErH-It would APP
pear from the theory Of the carth's con-
stitution, now very generally received,
that the planet on which we live, con
tains within itself the elements of its
w destruction. According to the
theory in question, there exists within
the outer Crust-the cool t]cmucrature
of which supports animal and vegetable
life, and solIdiiics stone, coal and the
various metallic orcS-a mass of fluid
igneouS matter. Some of this matter
occasionally escapes through the mouth
OF a volcano, or maneS It's presence felt
by al earthquake but neither the
earthquake u the volcano are cuMsid-
cred as necessary 10 prove that fire cX-
lists III the ntr Of the earth. On de-
scending beneath the surface. the heat
gradually but steadily increases. At
the depth of 24S0 yards water will
boil, and lead melts at the depth of
$500 yards. There is a red heat at the
depth Of seven miles, and by adopting
the temperatures as calculated from
Morveau's corrected scale of Wedge
worth's pyromc,c r, it is found that the
earth is fiuid at the depth of 100 miles.
The discharge Of melted earthly matter,
called lava, from volcanoes, is thought
to prove that the mass of the interior
of the earth is in a state of fusion
while the hot springs in different parts
of the world, show that a high temper,
aturc prevails at no very great depth
At the surface this internal heat is not
~perceptible, because the outer crust OF
the earth is a bad conductor.

Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1860-1862, 1861-04-17

"THE QUEENS PIPE."-A writer in a
London paper calls attention to a profigate
and scandaIous waste and destruction of
property, while there are so many poor per-
sons who so much stand In need of assistance,
which is thus noticed in late number of the
Churchman'S Penny Magazine, as occurring in
the London Docks: {" Near the northeast
corner of the Queens warehouse" Henry
Mayhem tells us, " a guide post inscribed,
To the kim directs you to the Queens
pipe, or chimney of the furnace; on the
doors of the latter end of the room are
painted the Crown Royal and V. r. In this
kiln are burnt all such goods as do not fetch
the amount of their duty and customs
charges; tea. having once set the chimney Of
the kiln on fire, is rarely burnt, and the
wine and spirits are empted into the docks.
The huge mass of FIRE in the furnace is fed
day and night, with condemned goods. On
one occasion nine hundred Australian NUT
ton hams were burnt on another forty-fve
thousand pair of. French gloves; and silks
and satins, tobacco and cigars, are here con-
sumed in vast quantities, the ashes being
sold by the tun as manure for killing insects,
and to soap boilers and chemical manufac-
turers Nails, and other pieces of iron sifted
from the ashes are priced for their toUghDess
in making gun barrels; gold and silver, the
remains of plate, watches and jewelry,
thrown ints the furnace, are also found in
the ashes"

"JAcrA EST ALEA.n-A great many men in

"JAcTA EST ALEA."-A great many men in
this section who were strong in their devo-
tion to the Union one week ago. believe now,
since the fight at Fort Sumter, that the die is
cast, that the Union is at last beyond the
reach of salvation, that Tennessee must soon
take the leap that the Cotton States have ia
ken, and that it Is almost time she was look
ing out for soft place on which to fall.
This may be SO, but it is to be hoped that
Tennessee will never sscede. Secession is
"a vile phrase and she ought MT to think
of mixing il up with her history. Revolution
sounds better somehow or other, and, in fact,
Is better When the Government becomes
oppressive and intolerable, and she det.r-
mines to stand it no longer, let her rise up in
the face of the world with some or all OF the
other Border States to help her) and declare
that the Government known as the United
States of America has ceased to exist, that
the compact of Union-the copartnership
heretofore existing between the undersigned,
is this day dissolved by the mutual consent
of the parties Tor otherwise), and that she will
proceed at once to wind up her part of the
business of the late firm. at the same time
notifying all who have claims against her to
bring them along and have them looked into.
This is the way they used to do things in the
Substantial Ages of the world. and it gener-
ally succeeded beyond eyerybOdy's most SAN
guine expectations.
yO.n ion is al old, time-honored institu-
ION nat can be depended upon: Secession
is a new-fangled affair, and may turn out to
be 4nything Int reliable. Tennessee ought
never to try i % long as she can find some
thing else ths, will answer the same purpose.

Dan RICE.-There are some men who are
born TO he great, Cat least says some of the
ancient philosophcrs,) others have greatness
thrust upon them, whilst some of the many
few make themselves great by force ofcircum-
stances, and make contingencies of life mere
vehicles to carry them to the goal of fame.
Dan RICE is a practical example of the
latter quotation. With powerful will, and
a gigantic determination, he proposed to be
something; and that something, that image
his inclination had created, that impulse
that joint child of recklessness and necessity,
made him a brilliant gem in the arena, as
the classics have said, but which in modern
days is known as Circus.
RICE was once elcwn-a creature whose
province ii was to make people laugh-the
"merry maker" the fellow who could, by a
single breath, dispel clouds of despair, and by
his quaintness, make the tear upon sorrows
cheek glisten like diamond of joy, and so
for years amidst the dissipation of early pop
ularity, RICE made many and lasting friends
He has come back to us with some years ex-
Perieuce upon his head; although but thirty
eight years of age, he appears to have great
ly prohted during the days of his pilgrimage
from amongst US. He has proven himself
grateful recipient for the many favors the
people were wont to bestow upon him. He
has made the Circus place worthy of the
support of the refined and the intelligent; and
such, be states to us, sustain him.
Mr. RICE has always sustained the rights
of the South, and has ever publicly expressed
himself; but at the same time has an heredi-
tary reverence of the "Stars and Stripes"
Yesterday, whilst in procession, the old flag
caught his gaze, and in moment he raised
his hat in reverence to the noble banner; as
he passed the last resting place of Ex-Presi-
dent Polk he did the same, not with an air of
ostentation, but with the noble air of one who
felt as an American citizen and a patriot.
OF RICE's Show, we can say but little; we
have not seen it, but can speak of him as the
man and the gentleman
