TRxAN RryERs.-At the late election
in Texas, a popular vote was taken on a
bill a~ppropriating S250,0oO for clearing out
the channels ofthe Texan rivers Of the
RATS, 60, which obstruct them; and, by the
returns thus far received, itappesred to be
negatiyed. dts defeat is attributed to the
feelings in favor of railroads, and the inGu'
ende Of the railroad companies, which are
DESTROYS Of aid themselves from the State.

A PINT OF ALE AID A NEWSPAPER. -How
strangely the value of different things is
estimated! A few grains Of toasted barley
are wetted and the juice squeezed into a
little water with a taste Of the hop plant
the value of both being..too small to be esti-
mated, and a very light tax is laid upon the
mixture, which Costs also SO little labour as
hardly to be reckoned in. our coinage. A
pint of this sells retail for fourpence, and II
Of good flavor, it is reckoned well worth the
money, and SO it is. II is drank off in a
minute or two-it is gone. On the same
table on which this was served lies a news
paper, the mere white sheet Of which cost
one penny-farthing, and the duty thereon
enc. penny, with no deduction damaged,
crooked, or overprinted copies made ready
for sale, and charged too with carriage from
miles and stamp Office at a distance; and
covered with half a million oftypes, at q
cost Of thirty pounds for itself, and sheets
printed at the same Office, the same day
and this sells for no more than the pint o.
ale, the juice of a little malt and hops! AnC
yet after one person has enjoyed it ~affording
him news from all parts of the world, ant
useful thoughts on all that interest him as &
man and a citizen, it remains to be employ.
ed by scores OF others in the same town oil
elsewhere; and finds employment, and mar.
kets for goods, and cautions against fraud:
and accidents, and gives subjects for con.
versation, and there are some who think this
article dear, though the swiftly gone barley
water is paid for cheerfully. How is this.
Is the body u better paymaster than the
mind, and are things of the moment more
priced than things of the mindl Is the

"About forty years ago, a son andduugh-

them and ministered to their wants, as "a

qualified her for longer discharge of hel

TRooPs on THE Rio GRANDE.-The whole
amount of the United States force already
ordered to the Rio Grande frontier, or in
other words, to the disputed boundary Of
the Messilla Valley, is fifteen hundred men,
Santa Anna is concentrating an army Of
ten or twelve thousand men near the same
boundary.
The position Of the whole question bear.
a striking analogy to the dispute about the
western boundary Of Texas. In that case
there was a dispute about the boundary line
the Mexicans gathered large bodies Of troops
evidently to take possession OF the disputed
trnct; the United States troops were ordered
to pre-occupy it. This led to collisions be
tween the two opposing forces; war existet

PLAQUEMENE:
Saturday, August az, 1853.

GJThe Washington Republic states that the
order for an increase of the United States force
on the Rio Grande has been issued. Among
the good results, says the Baltimore American,
likely to be recorded in this new chapter of our
history is settlement of claims of citizens of
the United States against Mexico, to indemnity
for outrages and losses incurred through the
faithlessncss of Mexico with respect to her
grants to parties in the United States with
whom she had entered into agreement for the
right Of way and the construction Of rail road
across the lsthmus Of Tehuantepec. Any new
treaty that may be negotiated between the two
countries will necessarily review all these ques-
tlons, and provoke decision of each, one way
or the other.

u Mr. Honan, 'our own correspondent Of
the London Times, recently deceased, uttered
the following in the fulness of his heart:
81 know of no state of slavery on earth like
that attendant upon newspaper life, whether it
be as directors or subordinates. Your task is
never ended your responsibility never secured,
the last days work is forgotten at the close of
the day on which'it appears, and the dragon of
tomorrow waits open.mouthed TO devour your
thoughts and snap up one morsel more of your
vexed existence. Be as successful as it is in
the nature of things to be-ye Indifferent to
praise, and ion-hearted against blame-still
will the human frame wear out before it's time.
and your body, fnot your mind, exhibit symp-
toms of dry rot"

The Reputed Bourbon.-The Fond du Lac
Union, referring to the Rev. Eleazer Williams,
who has of late become notorious because of
his assuming to be the Dauphn of France,
says:
In conversation we had with him on board
the steamboat few days previous to his arri-
val here, on the subject of his parentage, he
stated that evidences were being prepared for
the press, when would set the question at rest.
Among other things, that the affidavit of his
reputed mother, lately published, was gross
deception, not by her, but by the interpreter
(brbed, no doubt) who falsely interpreted her
language. This woman does not understand
the English language, and when the substance
of the published affidavit was afterwards told
her, she denied ever having made it, and assert
ed to the contrary, that she had made an afida-
Wit that be was not her son. Her statement
will be contained in the forthcoming volume of
evidence, soon to be published by the Rev.
genteman's friends.

"In goingto Forest Creek, Campbe!Ps Creek,
Bendigo and Golden diggings, you pass through
what is called the Black Forest, dense and
thick wood, about twelve miles in length. The
other.day, while four of US were passing through
this forest, we found thirty-ive who had been
stuck up, (that is, robbed and then tied up to
tree,) and one poor fellow, who unfortunately
had but thirteen shillings and sixpence, was tied
to a tree and his body filled with shot, which
they had fired at him, suppose, because he had

The Lace Merchants D0g-Who would

ceabe as a clerk, and thus made for his master
upwards OF thousand crowns!--And vet such
an incident happened upwards of thirty years
| since.
One of those industrious beings who know
how to make cauldron of Goals out of billit of
wood, determined, in extreme poverty, to en-
gage in trade. He preferred that of the mer-
chandIse which occupied the least space and
was calculated to yield the greatest profit. He
borrowed small sum of money from friend,
and repairing to Flanders, he there bought
pieces OF lace, which without any danger, he
smuggIed into France in the following manner
tile trained an active spaniel to his purpose.
b.caused him to be shaved, and procured for
and 2e skin of another dog, of the same hair
oronnfs same shape. He then rolled the lace

Such was the success of the smuggle.-

the lace merchant; and notwith standing his ef-
fort to disguise his dog, he was suspected,
watched and discovered.
How far does the reasoning of some animals
extend! Did the spies of the custom-h house ex-
pect him at one gate, he saw them at distance,
and instantly went towards the other. Were
the gates shut against him, he overcame every
obstacle-sometimes he leaped over the wall,
at others passing secretly behind a carriage, or
running between the legs of travellers he would
thus accomplish his aim. One day. however,
while swimming in stream near Malines, he
was shot, and died in the water There was
then about him five thousand crowns worth of
lace, the loss of which did not at all aff1ict the
master, but he was nconsolable for the loss of
his faithful dog.
