A thick Skin.

--During an exhibition of Dan Rice's Circus, at Memphis, Tenn., on the night of the 10th inst., it was proposed to show that the hide of the rhinoceros was bullet-proof. Captain Travis, the celebrated pistol shot, then fired a bullet at the animal, which fell flattened to the floor, not breaking the skin, nor even causing the animal to wince, when struck.
