Two years ago, this journal dated IL

The enduring, and, as we conceive, ortho

be our delight to crack jokes, to tell stories
in our own way, to ridicule folly, and to cor

laughter against them. In this, however,

A portion Of our paper will be occupied
with comprehensive notices OF all pass

We eschew partisan politics; yet we

PROSPECTUS
THE WEEKLY PICAYUNE.

In consequence of the popularity which
our daily paper has gained in all sections
of the country, and the numerous de-
m ma sy we are Teceax,nR 'I" 1o
on starting one of that description, to be
entitled the "THE WEEKLY PIcAYUNE."
To adopt the same fgurative style used
in our first prospectus, we have fitted Out
the "Picayune'' for more distant voyages
and freighted her with all sorts OF notions
in the shape of readdbles; and If the same
success attends her which she has me,
with while coasting nearer home, we shall
doubtless receive rich returns,
To prepare our little craft for the more
extended sea on which she is destined to
move, we have put on her many additions
and improvements. Some Of her old tim
bers have been taken out and replaced by
new-she has greater measurement fore
and aft, greater length Of beam, and her
sheets have been materially enlarged.
Notwithstanding the increased size, the
public may rest assured that the 'Picdyane'
will be enabled to work in ShOdI Water with
the same facility as heretofore, and form
channels Of communication which it would
be folly for the dull, heavy vessels at pres
ent sailing this port to navigate.
Commission merchants and others hav-
ing freight in the shape ofadvertisements
to ship for the country trade, would do
we'll to send them on board our clipper, as
she is up for every city in the U. States,
and all intermediate landings.
We reiterate to those fanatcal pirates
who cruise under the black flag-who OPP
pose slavery because they are themselves
the slaves OF ignorance and superstition
who pretend to rub clean the upper docks
Of their neighbors with holy stone--we
say look out for breakers.
To Hotel keepers we recommend our
paper; in every engagement her comman-
der will be first to lead on the bOdrderS!
| 10 TIE ueauS vi 4 dInIIIos The trim an
pearance of our craft will be an object Of
interest. Most married folks have expe-
rienced the effects Of hgh-sparring.
We shall endeavor to make those snug
glers, the Bachelors, heave to--show them
the advantages Of the proper "compasion-
scay," recommending double state-room,
with births, &c.
We shall send our boat aboard Theatri-
Gals and other amusements; those pretty
pleasure boats, which make our passage
over the lake oflike so delightful. Dane
ing wo shall especially encourage; as we
conceive that the safety Of vessel often
depends upon keeping both pumps going.
On first launching the "Picdyune" we
promised to carry press q sail in case
we were warranted by safe from the
press. Through all the storms which have
ragged since she first sailed she has borne
up under full sales, without ever being
taken aback, and is now ranked A. /,
at all the insurance and other offices Of the
Liberty advocate. [volume] (Liberty, Miss.) 1835-1866, 1838-03-24
MISCELLANEOUS.
NAPOLEON.

In the beginning of his consulate he Of
ten used to escape from the Tuilleries dis
guised in a big great coat and large
round hat, so that even the soldiers did
not know him, and go early in the morn
ing to General Sebastian's lodgings, ava
ken him, and walk arm in arm along the
Boulevards. In one of these morning
walks, Bonaparte wishing to make a hand
some present to his beloved Josephine,
stopped at large store Of precious Curl
osties. They found u chambermaid cIea-
ming the store, went in and asked for the
master of the house. The servant an
swered in dry tone, that there was no
master of the house; looking with sus-
she thought might be a pair of rogues
who had entered the store SO early, truly
with no favorable exterior, their boots and
great coats covered with mud She ran
quickly into bed room where two young
clerks slept, and awakened them in haste,
while the two strangers looked upon each
other and smiled. One Of the young men
came hastily and half clothed from his
room and asked their business. Bona
parties eyes fell upon two large and beau
tiiul transparent vases Of an exquisite
wnrtmanship. whilst Sebastian spoke with
the clerk, who sent Immediately Tor the
mistress of the store, when Bonaparte in
his abrupt and peremptory manner, asked
the price Of these vases; the widow meas
ured him from foot to head and said dry
~, that their prices were beyond his
reach 'That may be, madame said
Bonaparte, irritated, but still in moder-
ate tone, 'but think it would not cost you
much to answer my question: Ten
thousand franks, SIR answered the lady
in a dry tone; swell, madame, is that

them aside, so that nobody else may take

dy, show then? shall say they are sold,

Bonaparte, growing warm. Sebastian
gave him hint, and said, MADAME is
right; she does not know us, and of course
IS not to be blamed for asking at least

,;on 10 the fact that in this highly imPor-
tant norton of our country there IS no
journal or paper so exclusively devoted to
literature and science, advocating the doc
trines Of no party.
Feeling the necessity Of such paper,
the Jefsl BON College and washington Ly,
ceum have commenced the publication oil
a periodical entitled "THE SouTH.WEs-
TERN JOURNAL to be devoted to litera-
,ure and science, and all subjects interest
ing to the general reader.
Il is published semi-monthly, in the CT
tv of Natchez, and contains sixteen small
onarto pages, similar in form to the "Pen,
nv Magazine and is protected by good
envelope, so that it may be conveyed to
any distance without INJURY.
il will be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to this;
and every one who feels pride in any en-,
terprise calculated to enhance the social
and moral character ofour country, should
come forhard and assist in this worthy
enterprise !,
Pecuniary emolument constitutes no part
of the object of this publication. 1t is not
intended to benefit any individual or th
! Lyceum in aspecuniary point nt view
Tho colo ahjoFis to advance knowledge
and diffuse taste for the refined ENJOY
ments of literature and science.
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plishment of the wishes of the Lyceum
but the patronage of the community; anc
it is expected that this patronage Will DC
promptly and cheerfully extended.
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid
to Professor J. A. VAN HoEssEN, the Sec
rotary of the Lyceum, Natchez, MisslsslP

cases in advance.
The first number Of this paper IS dated
December IS, 1887, and it will be contIn
