PLAQUEMINE PARISH OF IBERVLLE, LA. JANUARY L. 1853.

Thompson & Niron, l9 Camp street, have a
large assortment of splendid articles of GENTLE
mems apparel, to which we invite the attention
of those who wish to be elegantly dressed, and
have the modern Alladin's Lamp to get them.
Joseph Hyfly, Variety Store, 10 Camp st.

Camp street. This is one of the institutions
which befriend society. Read the advertise
ment, and the various pamphlets respecting it,
and be convinced of its utility.
C. Yale, Jr, q. Co., Silk and Straw Goods
establishment, 27 Magazine street. This House
is of old standing in the city, and does an ex-
tensve wholesale business in the rich and val
liable description of goods partially comprised
in their advertisement, which will be seen up
on our second page. Country merchants will
find it to their interest to give them call.
Francis Degen, AZ Camp Street, Steam Hat
Mandatory. Our country merchants will be
pleased on visiting this elegant establishment.
Encourage Home Manufacture, is our motto,
and policy dictates that it should be the motto
of every resident of the South. Patronize him
}. B. Steel, so Camp street, Bookseller, Sta
toner, &c. This is probably the most exten-
sve establishment of the kind in the South,
1t is scarcely possible for any one to inquire for
a work at this House, Of modern or ancient
times, and be disappointed. From the large
business which he does, Mr.. S. is enabled to
sell at very low prices
Thus we exhibit to our friends and patrons
the various Houses in the city whose foresight
and knowledge of business prompt them to ad-
vertise with US. The public may rest assured,
that through the additional impetus to their bu-
siness which extensive advertising gives, good
bargains can certainly be had at those esta-
blishments. And we will add to the many rea-
ders of this, that if, when they visit the city,
they have wants which can be supplied by any
of the above descriptions of business, they
will be acting advantageously for themselves
and to the interest of this their country jour-
nal by making their purchases of them in pre-
ference to other Houses

Odic Forces or Phenomena.-But in refer
ence to the"Odic Forces" and in more serious
vein, we have been witness, here in western
New York, repeatedly, of successful expert
ments, as folows:-Even large man lays
down upon a table, upon his back or upon
chairs, four men, one at each shoulder, the other
two opposite his hips and knees, apply to him
the tips of their four fingers, make full inspi-
ration of the lungs, and at signal commence
a continuous buzz, or slow breathing out of the
full breaths that have been inspired; the man
rises, is carried above the operators, is suspen-
ded upon their fingers, until the breaths are ex-
hausted, when he becomes dead weight, and
it takes all hands to save him from fall. This
is but simple fact, of which any five men,
upon fair experiment, will be convinced, Is
there any such actually existing thing as Odic
force-some undiscovered thing in nature, that
will account for this and kindred phenomena,
that are creating mischief in the world-mak-
ing Notwithstanding the mind of men and wo-
men-smply because the arena of nature, in all
that relates to the mysterious connection of
MIND and MATTER, concentration of mind, if
that shall be the better language-has not been
sufficiently penetrated.-Roch. Union.

Passing Away.

I'm passing away, the rivulet sald,
As it danced along on its pebbly bed;
unite myself with the ocean old,
And sweep DER forms that were fearless and bold;
And then to the clouds I'm carried high,
Refreshing earth with the dow from the sky.
Thus the stream sang on, in tones wild and gay,
pm passing away-Pm passing away"
We are passing away the red man said,
As he looked around on the scattered dead
But few remain, and Well soon be at rest,
With those we loved in the land of the blest;
And the white man then will be running here,
Ger this lam; of ours that to us was SO dear;
And the theme of his song will be in that day,
They have passed away-they have passed away
We are passing away, is the song that is sung
From the lips Of all, both the old and the young
That song is sung through the tall forest trees
By the gentle sigh of the evening breeze,
IT'S heard in the North, South, East and West,
'Tis ever told in the land of the blest,
I hat the chosen of earth must not here stay,
That they must pass, aye, all pass away!

Performing Somersets from Balloon.-A
late Paris letter says-The aeronauts are bent
upon rendering their profession every day more
and more perilous. During the whole of the
past year the ascensions from the Hippodrome
have been made with gymnasts suspended be-
meath the car, executing their terrible exercises
during the passage of the balloon to the clouds.
The last experiment was the reverse of this. 1t
consisted of the descent of the parachute from
an enormous altitude, with M. GODDARD hanging
below it. He turned sumersets and performed
all kinds of rgadoons in the air, from the time
when the cord was cut till it was time to look
out that he touched the ground with his feet
The experiment was successfully and graceful
ly performed.
This is the most wonderful feat of lofty tum-
bling ever performed by mortal man. lttakes
the French to do up these things in grand style.

THE Cocon- Mi Tree-Mr- Treloar Of In

The Cocoa Nut Iree.--Mr. Treloar of Lui-
gate Hill, London, the cocoa.nut fibre manufac-
turer, has published an interesting pamphlet,
showing the uses to which the various parts of
the cocoa-nut tree are applied. The purposes
of utility to which this tree may be put are very
numerous The Cingalese have saying, 'that
it has ninety-nine uses, and the hundredth can
not be discovered" From the full grown
leaves are formed mats, carpets, baskets, sails,
tents, and liquid measures The cocoa-nut oil
yearly imported into England is valued at floo,-
600. By means of mechanical processes, Sc
cured by patent, the value of cocoa-nut fibre has
been much increased 1t has been found suit
ed for the production of articles Of great utili-
ty and elegance of workmanship. A Great
Exhibition prize medal was awarded to Mr.
Treloar for the best specimens of mating, mats,
brushes, mattresses, and other articles made of
cocoa-nut fibre.

Another Arctic Erpedition.--Dr. Kane, of
the U. s. navy in New York, announced in his
lecture on the 18th, that the Sir John Franklin
expedition now organizing under his supervis-
ion will proceed to the Arctic, via Greenland
Mr.. Henry Grinneii has placed a vessel under
his orders, and the Secretary of the Navy has
approved of the expedition. At the close of the
address committee of6ve gentlemen, viz: Hon.
Geo. Bancroft, Dr. Hawkes., Mr.. Zimmerman,
Samuel Lovett and Mr.. Barrow, were appoint
ed to take the necessary steps for carrying out
the object in view. ...

rThere has been successful experimental
trial made at New York for the engines Of the
caloric ship Ericsson. In two or three weeks
she will start for Baltimore, from whence pros
badly she will 60 to one or two other cities, in
order to give her thoroughly satisfactory trial
before commencing her voyage to Europe. She
answers it is said, the expectations of her origi-
nators, indeed to greater extent than the most
ardent friends of the invention had reason to
expect.

He aoeN deserves it.-The New York Tribunes

He weN deserves u.-The New York Iribune's
French correspondent, speaking of the prepar-
ations made by the authorities of the city of
Agen to receive Louis Napolean, says:
"Among the temporary structures with which
they had decorated their city, was splendid
triumphai arch, under which, "He well deserves
it, and right under, hanging to rope, was an
imperial crown. Things stood thus when the
wind began to blow somewhat violently; but
lust before his arrival the wind blew away the
hanging crown, and when the Prince passed
under the arch, there only remained big rope
just above his head, with the inscription
we'll deserves it," Gentlemen, this sentiment,
so we'll expressed, fully endorse, and it pro-
rounces, too, my deliberate opinion of the man
who, in few weeks, will call himself, and be
called, the Emperor Of France" ~" @'.s''a

Proposed Notification in Ohio.-A bill has
passed through Committee of the Whole of the
Ohio House of Delegates, to protect the rights
of persons claimed as fugitive slaves. Its pro-
visions are somewhat similar to the famous Ver-
mont law Prosecuting attorneys are to ap-
ply for wrts Of habeas corpus where persons
are arrested, and if either party ask, jury trial
shall be allowed, &C. From the manifesto
tons, it is doubtful whether such bill can f.
naly pass.

Peceipf FIR .7o;n;nr Glnss-Melt A little is

Receipt for Joining Glass.-Melt little is~
inglass in spirits of wine, and add small guam
tity of water. Warm the mixture gently over
moderate fire. When mixed by thoroughly
melting, it will form glue perfectly transparent
and which will reunite broken glass so nicely
and firmly that the joining will scarcely be per-
ceptible to the most critical eye. Lime mixed
with the white of egg forms very strong ce-
ment for glass, porcelain, &c, but it must be
done neatly, as, when hard, the superhuous part
cannot easily be smoothed or taken off.

USamana, reported lately to have been
seized by the French, and to be appropriated
by them as a naval station, is situated in the
north eastern portion Of the island Of Hayti.
between The parallels of 10 and 90 north, and
SO and 10 west from Greenwich Judging from
its appearance on the map, it must be the most
desirable location for naval depot which the
whole island affords. We shall probably hear
something more hereafter of this new French
appropriation"

Extravaganza in Neuo York-We hear of
balls the past week in New York, in which dia-
monds and emeralds were worn worth 100000
on the person. Thousand dollar dresses are
not uncommon. Dinner parties are spoken of,
where ladies appear in cloaks embroidered with
pearls, etc. What are we coming toe
Costly houses of $685. 900, and 100000 with
furniture, mirrors, carpetng, pictures, frescoes,
ect., to match, are not uncommon.

days ago, from the warehouse in Brooklyn, and
taken to Albany by the steamboat Troy The
next we hear respecting them is that ga machi-
mist of Troy has a contract for fitting up 2O,-
900 of them with percussion locks, in place of
the old fashioned flint" The public will now'
probably, want TO know what is to be done with
these muskets.

Rapages Of the Cholera in Cuba.-A letter
received in Boston says that at St. Jago de
Cuba population in 1916, 24,000) the deaths
by cholera previous to November 10, mad been
as high as 1876 some days. The principal VIC
TINS were the blacks, poor whites and soldiers.
It had also been very fatal in the interior, plan
ters having lost from 20 to so slaves. At the
last accounts the sickness was abating, but the
weather was sultry and damp, and there had
been further shocks of earthquakes.
