The Beggar and the Sailor.-A well known
lame beggr, who usually dressed in the garb Of
a sailor, not long since accosted 4 tar who had
just left public house, and who at the
same time had some change in his hand which
he appeared to be counting. While he was
thus employed, the beggar shot at him, and
thrusting his hat before him, exclaimed, "Bless
your noble heart, my worthy messmate spare
few coppers for poor old Jack, stumped in
his starboard arm, his knee braces shot away,
and turned out Of service without a smart tick.
et.sThe sailor not appearing to heed the appli>
cation, threw shilling into his hat and was
walking away, when the lame fellow, flushed
with success limped after him, bawling out,
"Bless your noble heart, have you not any
more change for poor Jack-my bread room
is quite empty indeed, master" "Avast, broth.
er, avast," said the sailor, as the beggar was
pressing upon him, .don't jeer out 50 much
jawrope, but sheer off while you're well. III
had given you the ship and cargo, you'd still
have begged for the long boat"

PAQUEMINE, PARISH OF IBERVIILE LA. JULY %, 1855.

UTbe Columbus (Ohio) Journal tells of a
new discovery in medical science, the appica.
ton of which the editor witnessed in that city.
The patient was seated upon metallic stool
in an insulated zinc bath, well coated with
paint, and his feet immersed in acidulated wa
ter. The galvanic battery was then applied.
the positive pole held in the hands of the patti.
ent, the negative pole being in the bath. 1t is
claimed that the power of the electricity upon
the system is such as to eradicate every metallic
substance, and, by means of the wire, it is de-
posted in the bottom of the tub. 1t requires
some twenty-four hours for the globules to
collect themselves, so as to be perceptible to
the naked eye, when they may be seen by
thousands clinging to the sides and bottom of
the bath.

TA scamp in Washington has resorted to a
new dodge to fleece the green ones and even
many sober business men. He sends letters
to persons, advising them that there are letters
for them in the Washington Postofice which
cannot be forwarded, because the postage is
not paid; that all they have to do is to forward
him dime and he.wil attend to it for them.
The insignihcancy of the sum asked precludes
the idea Of fraud, and the dime is forthwith
sent-and that is the last ever heard of Alfred
Shucking, the assumed name of the swindIer.
He has, no doubt, realized handsome sum in
this small way.

MOHAMMED.

Mohammed, the prophet, is described as
man of mddling size, with broad shoulders, a
wide chest, and large bones He was feshy,
but not stout. The immoderate size of his
head was partly disguised by the long locks
of hair, which, in slight curls, came nearly down
to the lobe of his ears. His oval face, though
tawney, was rather fair for an Arab, but nei-
ther pale nor high colored. The forehead was
broad, and his fine, long, but narrow eyebrows,
were separated by vein, which could be seen
throbbing when he was angry. Under long
eyelashes sparkled bloodshot black eyes thro'
wide slit eye-lids. His nose was large, prom.
inent, and slightly hooked; the mouth was
wide, showing good set of teeth. His beard
rose from the cheekbones, and came down to
the collar-bone; he clipped his moustaches, but
did not shave them. He stopped, and was
slightly hump.backed.

A Letter from Florence states that electric
magnetism is annouced to be remdy for cho-
lera by two eminent physicians, in different
parts of Italy. The coincidence is noteworthy.
D.. Rossi, Of this city, was preparing a memoir.
the fruit of much study and expe rience, to show
that the malady results from some electro.
magnetic or animal.electrio disturbance, for
which galvanism is the proper remedy. when he
was informed that Dr.. Concata, of Padua, had
conceived and demonstrated the theory within
q few days in the restoration Of four desperate
cholers patients, by means Of the electro.mag-
netic current and that be was preparing report
under the direction Of the municipal authorities
for publication.

Bf0iled Mackerel.

The following good story is told Of mem,
Der Of Congress from Ohio:
The venerable Gen. H-was for several con.
secutive years returned to Congress; and as the
hotels and boarding houses 10 Washington CT.
ty in those days, were all on par, or rather
below par, the members were in the habit oi
The table Of Gen. HIS boarding house (Which
was kept by widow lady and her two daugh.
tors) was regularly furnished with stereotyped
dinners, and at one end Of the table always ap-
peared broiled mackerel. Gen. H., whose seat
was near the fish, had gazed 90 frequently
upon it (for it never was touchsd except by the
cock) that he knew it all "by heart"
Now, if the distinguished representative had
any one peculiar virtue, it was an afiectionate
desire to make every person and every creature
around him happy. In the course Of time
Congress adjourned, and Gen. H. paid his bill
to the widow, aud got ready to start for home.
The stage stood At the door; and the old gems
tleman, showing the goodnes Of his heart, took
the widow by the hand, and pressing it. bade
her FAREWELL then kissing the daughters, said
he would like to see them in Ohio, and furnish
them with good husbands, &c. But even this
was not all, the black boys, who stood along
the walls, were not forgotten, and grinned as
he handed each silver dollar.
As be passed around the breakfast table,
which was not yet "cleared off," he saw his
old friend the mackerel. The tears came into
his eyes, and raising it by the tail with his fn-
ger, parted with it, saying: swell, good bye,
my old boy; you and | have served long cam.
paign together; but (wiping his eyes) suppose
