ALI THE &c tt1ONESTY AND CARAGIT4. -
4 3 We give below from sthe Natehez Free Trader,
lanotfer specimen OF Tay Iors appointments The
i man described received the commission as Consul
TO Lyons, France, city containing population OF
some 100000, and continued intercourse with TINS
}country, both in trade commerce and immigration
That such specimen of wiliggery should be the
Representative of this government such acity, is
among the mysteries of refined Taylorism That pa

ssWhat on earth could have induced General Fay
llor to select such vulgar specimen of humanity as
Heudeber our Consul at the refined city OF
Lyons, we cannot imagine. Surely he didnot know
the character OF the man, who, if sent any where at
all, should be sent to the Pententiary as nufsance
and cursesto society," Some years go, Heudebert
was citizen of this city, where he kept an eating
Ihouse. With his career in this city we are unHc-
qnaned, but Informed that it of such aSchar
acteF as to render him odious. He was compelled
to remove his culinary utensils and kitchenfmntRFe
to other place. After much trouble he succeed
ed in getting, possession of the Race Course In JET
ferson CO., known as tHamberiin s gFrack,' where
he kept doggery and gambling house. Mr.. Ham
berlin, who resides near the track, soon became dis
gusted with his conduct, and one day told him hts
must keep decent house,, or hewonld be compelled
to turn him out of it, Not being able TO comp ytgitI
this very proper demand, Heudebert removed his
! farious implements of trade to Port Gibson. What
kind of establishment he kept at Port Gibson, do
mot know, dc we know how long he resided there,
but we know he ordered leave account. of
his vulgarties and insult to very respectable lady.
In fact such the nature of his offence, that he
| barely escaped the penalties of Lynch Law. When
we heard of Heudebert again, he had opened groce
ry and gambling house in jackson. With his ca
ifeer in jackson well acquainted. He has
been several times indicted for keeping gambling
and disordery house, and at one time he was inform
ed by several respectable heads of families, thatE he
did not stop his Keno table, they 4voud drive him as
nuisance from the city, and throw his 1ganibling
cards and apparatus into Pearl River esE e. asef
This was heavy blow to his prospects. g By
gar gentlemen, said the horror stricken Heudy, jis
as begin to make my fortune, by innocent amuse-
ment, you tell me l must leave your da mn town;
you in Natchy--yOu win my money
the Hamberlin tract--you drive me to Jackson, and
now you tell me must go some other place, or you
will throw all my things into de pearl river. have
one damn hard time of it. no ask your boys to
play Keno. Some time they win, sometime they
lose. no ask them to drink But they be good
customers, for they drink when they be dry. and when
they be asked always. Ah; gentlemen, this country
be no longer free, and / shall cry yer much" This
speech had no effect upon Heuderbert's 'llearers.
One week from that day the Circuit Court of Kinds
county met, the song of He1derbert's dealer
heard no more, and Headerbert himself was forced
to visit his friends in Louisiana, where he remained
until the adjournment of the Court, when he again
returned to Jackson. He then returned to his pots
and kettles, opened eating house, where he carried
gambling in all its various branches, and lived in
open intercourse with negro woman up to the hour
of his appointment as Consul at Lyons.
The above is true sketch of James HeuGer6erf, The
whig consul at Lyons. Comment is unnecessary.
The whole country is nsulted and disgraced, at heme

is destitute of honesty and capacity, and without
redeeming trait in his character But he is whig!
THAT covers multitude of sins. ''a~ a...-ze..,e
The PLANK ROADS. The plankng of the Detroit
and Howell road is rapidly progressing. Already
the plank is down several miles and gate erected
This road is Of the greatest thoroughares the
State, and will be made still greater by the panking
of it. 1t will enable farmers into market at
all of the year, with double the loads that
they have heretofore been able to draw. f. -.s
The Detroit and Birmingham plank read is also
rapidly progressing One mile of the plank is already
down. and the work of grading and placing plank. on
the line IS going forward rapidly. This is the
thoroughfare in the State. Even in these dull times
teams are continually passing to and from the city,
over the road. .. e+..s--.r- Ia - 4. .-t5
The city is sdestined reap rich harvest by means
of these roads. Plank roads make business. Every
good farmer keeps a team, and with good roads and
low toll at all seasons, a vast amount of produce,
wood, &C., &C., will be brought to market by those
who have not been able to do so heretofore. This
Will create greater competition in the market, and
enable all to purchase the necessaries much cheaper
AT the same time the profits of the producer will be
increased from the fact that larger loads be drawn
and teams turned to better account -Fz
We hope to see the charters granted. in 184s IN
various parts of the State, taken, and the work com
menced. The charters of the Detroit and Saline the
Detroit and Utica, the Detroit and Erin, the Jackson
and Lansing, &C.. &c., are all good, and the. several
routes lay through the best parts of the State. The
stock will not only be good, but the increased fac-
tiles to farmers will tend to open and settle the IN
occupied lands. Every farmer who has any spare
means should be stockholder in the road which is
nearest to his farm. Detroit Free Press
NORWEGIAN WATER TELEscoPEs An instrument
which the people of Norway have found of so great
utility that there is scarcely single fishing boat with
out one is the water telescope or tube, of three or
four feet in length, which they carry in their boats
with them when they go fshing When they
reach the fishing grounds, they imnerse one end of
this telescope in the water, and look through the

feet of the surface; by which means, when shoal

ground with their glasses, and where they find the
fish swarming about in great numbers they give the
signal and surround the fish with their large draught
nets, and often catch them in hundreds at a time
