THE STATE ABM 3, WHAT ARE T3EY. tj Ooo would have thought that if every thing clsoin history ucro proved fictitious or doubtful, the official insigni of political government would bo still considered mi. thentio. But a case has conic up which rc veals the astounding fact that nobody knows, or can know precisely what the arms of the Commonwealth ot Pennsylva nia are. By an act of the last Legislature the Aldermen of Philadelphia and Lancas ter were authorized to provide public Al dermauio seals, and to have engraved thereon the arms of the Commonwealth. It was only natural that those dignitaries should proceed to inquire what " the arms of the Commonwealth were like." After dilligent investigation at Ilarrisburg it was found tho " arm? of tho Commonwealth " were not to be found there ; that there had been one in 1789 but it and all traca of it bad disappeared ; that tho " Great Seal of the State " contains only a portion of what is properly supposed to constitute tho ' Arms of Pennsylvania." omitting as it does the two prancing horses which support tne eagle and shield in tho.CAntnr in biiori;, mac nomine: ochntte isT imi the matter. It shows a woud'eW of State pride and of ordinary carcfinicss in our State officers that this should be so.

To Curb Corns. Taka a lemon, cut a piece of it off, and nick it so as to let id the toe with the corn. Tie this on at night eo that it cannot move and you will find in the morning that, with a blunt knife, the corn will come away to a great extent. Two or three applications will flect a thorough cure. Bunions are more difficult to cure j but the following Las ured in some eases : Make an ointment of half an ounce of spermaceti and twelve grains of iodine, aud apply twice a day.

The new riflo invented by Meybofer in East Prussia, judgiug from the accounts given of it, is by lar the most destructive death-dealing weapon in existence, and promises to. supercede tho needle. gun eveu ; charge and discharge to tako place almost simultaneously, aud it is said thirty shots can be fired from it in a minute. At the moment when the barrel is closed by a valve, tho cartridge is exploded by a small 'knife. A particular apparatus pro. vents the escape of gasses unless by the InnitimnfA Itnnl TlllQ tl n 10 WrtOmin WnitrVlO or.ly eiht and a half pounds, and the bar - tntrtv-M - ? - --'a - paper; wnicn, ncsiaes nem;; cean, cannot expand and stick fast in the barrel as was .1.- L- t : ;l - miu uuu liiu A-iiuci ican uuu ineu iu St. Petersburg. The long, arrow shaped projectile of the Meybofer rifle is fatal at eighteen hundred paces, and weighs only l-21th of a pound; so that every soldier in tho field can carry .with him one hundred catridges. The riflo is loaded by a gentle blow of the flat of tho hand on tho handle of the valve which opens the powder chamber for tho entrance of tho catridgc, The inventor, who is himself not practi.-. cally skilled in Cre-arins, has, on several occasions lire thirteen shots in thirtv-six seconds, aud twenty-six bhots in oue minute. Tf-ters' Musical Monthly for Mov is on hand, and well sustains the proud title it bears " Tho l'rince of Musical Monthlies," for if there is any one periodical adapted to suit the wants of all Lovers of Music, pro fessional or amateur, it is ccriainly this Mnga- zino. The Mny number come to us ovcvflowinir with Choice New Music. There are four New Songs, by Hays, Thomas, Dunks, end Eaton ; three Piano Tieces : and we notice a new fea ture in tho shape of six pages of Quartlet Music, which will prove a valuable addition: also, a dozenor more pages of Biographical Sketches nnd Reviews of New Music, that will be of interest to all Musicians. Being largely engaged iu the publication of Sheet Music, Mr. 1'etera has always a fresh stsck from which to make his selections, and seems nothing loth to draw from his resources to any required ex tent to make the Monthly what it should be. Besides the Musical Sketches and Reviews of New Music, each number contains no less than thirty full-sized pages ef New Music by the best writers in the country. When Musio is furnished so cheap, what Musician can afford to be without such a pub lication ? $4 worth of good Musio cannot bd picked up every day for 30 cents, and we feci justified :n saying that a subscription at $3 give as much Musio (and good Music, too,) as you can buy for $50.

When Bonner was a type setter, he and his nearest fellow-workman ngrecd that which ever got started in tho world first he should help tho other. Bonner did not forget it, but has given his friend a choice position ever since.
