A New Composing Machine.

We yesterday examined new machine in
vented by Mr. VIM. MITCHELL of this city, for
the purpose of setting type 1t has keys like a
piano, with a number Of endless tapes, kept IN
motion by machinery, to carry the types to the
spot where they are set up The types are laid
with the nicked side up in little brass cases or
galleys some fifteen or eighteen inches long, and
just wide enough to admit a type crosswise. OF
these cases there are as many as there are small
letters and punctuation marks, and they are
fixed at an inclination of about As degrees over
the types, so that when a key is touched type
drops fiat upon its tape, and is instantly con-
yeyed to another larger tape, to which all the
types are carried, and which conveys them all to
a little metallic throat, down which they drop
upon table all set up, but requiring to be
divided into lines or justified by hand. Capitals
and Italics have to be laid on the tapes by hand,
there being in the machine no keys or galleys
for them Two persons are required to attend
the machine-one to work the keys and one to
Justify and remove the matter composed. It is
q very ingenious invention. All its parts are
simple, and we judge that it would not easily
get out of order. It occupies rather more space
than piano. Exactly how much work it is
capable of performing we have no means of
judging, as the arrangements are not yet COM
plete enough to subject it to regular test.

J. Y. BENxEr, Eso.-This gentleman has re-
turned from Caillou Island in state of improved
health, as is manifest from the luxuriant growth
of his beard. He has recently received from the
southern and northern markets, quite an ad-
ditional stock Of books, stationary, ETC., ETC.,
which he offers for sale at slight advance be-
yond original cost. We would most respect
fully ask for this gentleman liberal encourage
ment feeling confident that he deserves it. As
post master, he is obliging and generous, and
his supply Of books, and other things constitute
quite an improvement to our town.

A ROMANTIC sroRY.-A French paper relates
that recently young milk woman Of the envi-
rons Of La Baumette, newly married, was carry
ing the produce Of her dairy to the market Of
Anglers, when she found on her way black COW
fastened to tree, and at safe distance, under
tree, lay large bundle. Her curiosity was
first attracted to the latter which she found to
contain beautiful baby girl, wrapped up in fine
linen and warm fannels. On further examina-
ton, she discovered purse containing 25 gold
Napoleons, and an anonymous letter intimating
that the mother of the child was driven by pow
erful consideration to part with it for several
years; that the 5000 francs were for the person
who would humanely supply her place, and the
black COW was to afford the child milk; adding
that the foster mother should every year receive
an ample sum for the maintenance if its natural
parent be permitted to resume the charge The
young milkwoman accepted the trust then re-
posed in her, and instead Of proceeding to the
market, fastened home with the young found
ling, the COW, the purse, and the letter.

MAG1srRAcY-Mr. 4. B. Ragan.-This gentle
man, has, not voluntarily on his part, but
through the urgent solicitations of some of his
friends, suffered his name to go forth as can
didate for the office of Justice of the Peace.
As candidate for this office, he is rigidly
passive, making no possible effort on his part to
obtain it, but is virtually in the hands of his
friends, many of whom think him highly and
most admirably adapted to the fulfllment of
the duties which that Office imposes.

Lafourche Candidates and the Crescent

We copy the following from the New Orlean
Crescent:
STATE SENATOR FROM LAFoURcHE.-Amon1
the candidates spoken of to represent this parish
in the State Senate, we hear of Col 8. P. Key
Mr.. Joseph L. Williams and others.
| COL Key is lawyer of standing, and is con
nected with one of the most distinguished
families of the country. Uniting capacity with
integrity, there is no doubt but the interests Of
the State and Parish would find in him an able
representative.
| Mr.. Williams is also prominent candidate.
He came to Lafourche from South Alabama in
1847, and purchased sugar estate, to which,
having given his personal attention, he has sue
eeeded according to his wishes. During his re-
| sidence in Alabama, Mr.. Williams was engaged
| in the practice of the law in partnership with
Judge Rufus c. Jones. He was induced to quit
the practice of the law for the benefit Of his
health. Since his residence in Lafourche he has
taken much interest in the developement of the
various interests peculiar to this locality, and
has given much of his attention to the improve
ment Of the bayous, and general system of
levees and drainage, which subjects have so much
interested the State Legislature nr. Williams
is whig of the Clay school, sndNbs member
of the Constitutional Convention 81 1852.
Will CWO SuCu CduuludLeS III uciu, lIle
wings of Lafourche will find it difficult to choose
between them, being assured, however, that the
interests of the parish will be secure in the hands
of either.
Of the other candidates we know nothing per-
sonally, but understand that they are clever and
competent gentlemen. Whoever may be the
choice, the parish will be sure of a faithful re-
preventative in the Senatorial branch of the As
sembly,
The Crescentin speaking thus commenditorily
of the personal qualities and qualifications of
Col. P. B. Key, is doing that gentleman no more
than justice, andin saying that heis connected
with one of the most distinguished families Of
the country, is equally correct. But that "Col.
Key is lawyer Of standing" or a lawyer atall,
is piece Of intelligence we were not in posses
sion of until we received it from the Crescent.
Col. Philip B. Key-not Col. s. P. Key of the
Crescent sugar planter, Of near Thibodaux,
gentleman Of the highest order and a scholar,
is candidate for the Senate and his competitor
is Major James 7. Pugh of Assumption, a demo-
crat, and not Joseph S. Williams, who is q can
didate for the Legislature.
We are much pleased to notice the generous
manner in which the Crescent speaks of our friend
Joseph s. Williams. Mr.. Williams occupies
quite favourable position in our feelings, and
we take pleasure in saying SO.
The Crescent is informed by some person
signing himself Lafourche," that "two of our
wealthy citizens" are candidates for the office
of Recorder; and the exciting contest is such
as to have quite changed the face of things"
The face of things" is certainly very much
changed in Thibodaux of late. But to represent
Jona C. White as a wealthy man, is to change
things "wrong side up"
Thibodaux minerva., 1853-11-05

DOCTOR DuRAc.-This gentleman's appear
ance in our town may very justly be viewed as
very valuable accession to the number of res
pectable physicians already here. DR.. Durac is
recently from France. The River Po, to which
so many poetic and fond rememb.ances attach
themselves, is the river near which he was born
and raised, and from which place, the late in
testine political disturbances expatriated him.
He has, we think, wisely chosen happy America
for his fixed abode and may he realize all his most
sanguine expectations Of success. In our inter-
views with the Doctor we have found him gen
tlemanly and courteous, and what is Of still more
importance, intelligent and prepared to practice
his profession.

I~ Dr.. Wilson, somewhat notorious in the
Northern part Of this State for having COM
mitted murder about year ago. died in the
State Prison at this place on Wednesday last.
Wilson's crime had no mitigating circumstance
He went to his neighbor's house and coolly shot
q defenceless man, whilst on his knees begging
to be spared. Wilson was convicted in the
parish Of Moorehouse Of t'murder in the first
degree" and sent to the State Prison for life.

MARBLE SUGAR LIME.-We would respectfully
call attention to the article heading this para
graph. The use Of lime is imperatively ne
cessary in the process Of sugar making, and a
superior article Of this kind is certainly most
desirable in view of which A. B. Bacon calls
the attention Of planters to his Philadelphia
Marble Sugar Lime, which is superior to any
hitherto offered for sale, as it is free from all
those impurities which generally exist in lime,
viz: Magnesia, etc., ETC. Mr.. Bacon, is the only
person in New Orleans who keeps this article on
hand. See advertisement in another column

Mr.. FREIDAL, THE EDAaUERRIAN.-Thisge gentle
man has "become one of u.s." He has fixed
himself in Thibodaux, as permanent citizen
and is now residing in, and has his Daguerrean
Rooms at the Bank, on jackson street. Mr..
Freidal has just recovered from most severe

nothing else than the unrestricted privilege Of

fully suggest thatbrass faces don't die, and when
We have one on hand, We may defy yellow or
any other kind Of fever, for if it takes u.s. it is
sure to leave the brass. Who win dare to say
aught against one leaving plenty Of brass in his
face?

which takes place on that day.
Thibodaux minerva., 1853-11-05

LocAL.-The town still continues perfectly
healthy, there not being at present one single
case of sickness in the place more formidable
than common "fever and ague."
The weather continues beautiful, and as it
were, seems to offer amends for the gloomy,
damp and cheerless aspect Of things during the
scourge of yellow fever. Every thing looks
business-like in Thibodaux, and in order to
compensate for loss oftime, every person appears
to rush into business with redoubled energy.
In our last issue we noticed the names of
several who had returned to town, who had
been absent during the epidemic, and it affords
us great pleasure to say-"still they come"
Among the most recent arrivals we may mention
Mr.. s. Tenney and family and one or two Of the
teachers Of the Institute. Mr.. J. J. Gardner
has also returned. From those arrivals we may
expect the several schools to reopen very soon
Planters cannot complain. "Buoyant weather,
gives buoyant feelings" is an old adage, and it
holds true, we think, in the present instance in
reference to planters. The weather is truly
delightful and no apparent impediment exists
on this score to forestall the progress of sugar
making. The cane, we are informed, yields
most copiously and the quality of sugar is good.

BAYOU LArouRcHs.-The Bayou at this time
affords navigation only for fat boats, the Jean
Webre, built expressly for this trade and sup
posed to be adapted to the lowest stage Of water,
cannot enter the Bayou, and is therefore, in the
Bayou Sara trade, consequently, our town is no
longer accessible by the bayou; but an omnibus
and six horses makes two trips per week be-
tween this place and Donaldsonville.

seemed to induce wakeful state for short
period, and then stupid condition, with inter-
walls Of wakefulness, until he was brought home
on the 14th. It is stated that be talked very
little, inquiring after his mother, who had been
dead two years, his father and brothers, whom
he seemed partially to recognise. complained
Of great internal heat and soreness of his throat

his death he called for food, and ate hearty
meal, and from that time seemed to be in pain
until about o'clock P. NJ, when he died with
out struggle. His age was thirty-four years.

The Remembered Name.

Oh would that could hear no more
That dear, remen 5ered name,
Which long ago to youths bright shore
Like Summer music came,
For on my heart with mournful thrill
It must forever fall,
And wake a strange, sad echo still
In Memory's haunted hall.
I've tried to hush the thoughts that start
In madness and in fear,
TO sweep across my troubled heart,
When that loved name hear, l-
But easier far 'twould be to thran
The wild tornado's wrath,
When giant pines bend low and fall
All shivcred in its path.
There is star in Memory's sky
That in its beauty beams
Upon my soul increasingly
And brightens all my dreams.
I've sought in vain with Lethes tide
To quench its changeless light "
sForgetfulness can never hide
Memory SO bright
My spirit ever strives to pour
An earnest, voceless prayer,
To bask beneath its rays no more,
But still hes PROSTATE there.
As tides obey the silvery moon,
That star has ruled my fate. n
trose within my heart too soon a. y
To set-alas! too late! s9r
Oh once thy memory seemed to me
Like an enchanted isle
That sprung from life's unrufHed sea
To blossom in thy smile,
For Hope then moorei her fairy bark
beside that phantom Shore a
But soon fled DER the waters dark
To anchor there-no more.
That Land Of, Love was passing fair,
For e'en when Hope had fed,
sought the flowers of gladness there,
