The SuLrAN.-The present Sultan Of Turkey
is 50 delicate in health and appearance as to be
scarcely able to keep erect upon his horse, upon
which he seems to sway back and forth like a
thing without life. He is more than half .
Christian it is said, though such suspicion
would cost him his crown if proved. On re-
pairing the Mosque Of st. Sophia, through the
aid Of an american artist, the Sultan was pre-
sent when some Of the old plastering fell from
the walls and disclosed various pictures Of Saints
and Christian emblems; on which he remarked
to the artist in French: s'H faut couvrlr tout

JACK FRosT, Eso.-This distinguished and

day morning with his entree in this place, to the
no small qualification of all who saw, heard Of,

in neutralising yellow fever poison and we
trust that his chemical qualifications were on
this occasion fully put to the test believing as
we do, that he could no where else have found
more prolific field for such salutary operations.
Let us add, that the arrival of Frost was i'm

NBunaLAnrEs.-On Saturday morn :

fore the thief got in, the clerk in the
upper story, gave the alarm and he
escaped. Marks on the door show
that the scoundrel is we'll equipped
with house. breaking implements. On
the same night the Taylor shop Of 8.
Oussette, was forceably entered. Our
police should exercise little extra
yicelcnce, to ferret out these house.
breakers-for it is a thing Of almost
nightly occurrence. Country rogues,
and city thieves, will begin now to
pour in, and hunt out soft places to
sleep. Some Of them bring their own
"pastc.boards' with them, in fear OF
not being able to find the right stripe
in the market.
We do not mistate to say that fully
one half Of the money received "for
legislaturing" in the past three legis-
latures. has changed hands over the
card-table.
We advise newly. elected members,
to learn all the odd tricks, before they
come to Baton Rouge. this kind Of
schooling alwayshas been very. dear in
misplace.
