BISULPHlTE OF LIME.

New ORLEANS, September 20th, 1856.
FNHE GNDERsIGNEDis is now manufacturing and
4 prepared to supply, pure and genuine BIZ
Sulphite OF Lime, which exceeds in quality and
strength any that has been heretofore manufac-
tured
1t IS almost unnecessary to remind the planters,
as they are already aware of the fact, that this
Bl,Sulphlte OF Lime when properly used, never
falls to produce beautiful white and yellow
crystalized sugar, that always commands the
highest price in this market, and the very best
recommendation it can have with Western and
other buyers is the fact of its having been made
with BonnabeFs 3i-Sulphite, as they consider
that guarantee against any loss in weight, and
are always willing to pay higher prices for it
The high repute and favor in which the planters
generally hold this Bi-Sulphite is SO much mat
ter OF notorlety that it is quite unnecessary to
publish here any of the many fattering testinlon-
ias received daily from those who have used it,
and invariably succeeded beyond their most
sanguIne expectations in not only making the
best sugar ever previously made by them, but
also in realizing the highest prices with less loss
In weight than by any other process. The many
benefits and superior advantages to be derived
from its use are now too well established to need
any further comment but it may be well to re-
mark that this Bi-Sulphite alone possesses that
strength and those qualities necessary to insure
success to the planter.
The many orders already received this year
from those who have used this Bi-Sulphite, with
outn single instance failing, the best evidence,
fany were wanting, in its favor The under
signed alone possess all the facilities TO make a
pure article, guaranteed to be several degrees
stronger than any other in use There being no
other mandatory in the South equal to the New
Orleans Chemical Works, or which can in any
way bear comparison with them, any quantity
of Bi-sulphite can be supplied at the shortes
possible notice.
Very excellent barrels have been secured this
season to ship the Bi-Sulphite of Lime in: they
are guaranteed not to leak, and when returned
they will be re-6lled and shipped, and the planter
will invariably be allowed fifty cents per barrel
Planters who order through their merchants
must be particular TO instruct them to buy none
but II BonnabeI's Bi-Sulphite, and all orders
must invariably be addressed TO
H BONNABEL,
Corner of Natchez and TchouptouIas streets.
G7 Barrels returned TO be re-flIed will be taken
from the boats free of charge, and will be re-
shipped at no additional expense to the planter,

Am OSsified MAN.


In a quiet little village on the Western
Reserve, in Ohio, says the Prescott,
Transcript, there lives man who, ply
siologically considered, is certainly one
of the wonders of the world. His Joints
are completed y ossifed, turned to bone,
and he is not capable ofmaking the slight
est movement, except alternately opening
and shutting two fingers of his right hand.
His body is as rigid as iron, and it
couldn' be bent without breaking some of
his bones. This singular process of ossi-
fication has been going on in his system
for more than twenty years. He is now
about 46 years old, aud has not had the
use of his limbs so that he could walk
since he was nineteen. Ossifcation COM
menced first in his ankle joints, gradually
extending itself through his system until
he was entirely helpless; since that time
he has been wholly under his mothers
care, and she watches over him with an
anxiety only mother can feel. When
about 26 years old he became entirely
blind from some unknown cause, and has
remained SO ever since. At about 30 he
suffered greatly from toothache, and final
ly had them all extracted. "A year or two
afterwards his finger and toe nails came
off, and were supplied by others growing
out from his fingers and toes at right
angles and presenting the appearance of
horns. What is still more singular in re.
gard to his nails, if the end of the nail is
cut off it will bleed freely. Such is the
condition Of this remarkable man at the
present time. He has been visited by
great number of scientific men from all
parts of the world, but all have failed to
give any plausible reason of the cause of
his transformation from flesh to bone.-
Singular as it may appear, although his
jaw-bone is firmly set in his head, he not
only talks freely, but fuentIy converses
with his friends and those who visit him,
on all ordinary topics of the day, and he
shows himself well informed, and of good |
mind. lie is always cheerful, appears
and happy, and it seems proba-
Bile that he will live many years to come.

TWENTY YEARS AGO.
By T. R. GOULD.

Pve wandered in the village, Tom-Fve sat be-
meath the tree,
Upon the school-house playing ground, which
sheltered you and me
But onne were there TO greet me, Tom and few
were left TO know,
That played with us uFon the green, some twen-
ty years ago.
The grass is just as green Tom-barsfooted boys
at play,
Were sporting just as We did then, with spirits
just as gay;
But the master sleeps upon the hill, which, coat
ed DER with snow,
Afforded US sliding place just twenty years ago
The old schoo-house is altered now-the bench
es are replaced
By new ones, very like the same our pen-knives
had defaced;
But the same old bricks ate in the walls, the bell
swings to and fro,
Its music just the same, dear Tom, as twenty
years ago.
The spring that bubbled meath the hill. close by
the spreading beech,
Is very high-tWas once SO low that we could
almost reach;
And kneeling down to get drink, dear Tom.
started so!
To see how much that had changed since twen-
~ years dSo'
Near by the spring, upon the elm, you know /
cut your name
Your sweatheart's just beneath it, Tom<-and you
did mine the same;
Some heartless wretch hath peeled the bark
twas dying sure though slow,
Just as the Que whose name we cut, died twenty
years ago.
My eyelids had been dry, Tom, but warm tears
came in my eyes,
thought of her loved so well-those early bro
ken ties
visitedthe oldchurch-yard, and took some fOw-
eTs to strew
Upon the graves Of those we loved, some twenty
years ago.
Some are in the church-yard laid--sOme sleep be-
j meath the sea-
But few are left Of our old class excepting you
and me;
And when our time shall come, Tom, and we are
called to 60,
hope they'lflay Us where we played, just twen-
~ years ago.

WASTE oE ToApYIsx.-Thc Times Of this
city is quite as ready on oil occasions to
toady to Southern sentiments,--to slave
drivers, and politicians who seek success by
extending the curse Of human bondage, las
any journal We know Of. II has seized every
possible opportunity to cast odium upon the
motives and conduct Of those men who are
trying to found Free State in Kansas. In
every possible manner il has decried their cf-
forts, and seemed excessively anxious that
they might fail in their attempt. And what
is their sin T That they are trying in law
full way to preserve vast tract of country
sacred TO Free Labor and Free Men. Horri-
bic iniquity! For this the dogs of cor
rupt Administration are set bowling upon the
tracks of as good and pure men as ever
lived in this Republic. 1t seems strange
that such labors should find encouragement
in free community like this. But so it is.
as the plain truth will have it. On the other
hand the Border Rufinns, the men who plant
Slavery By the bowie knife and pistol, who
conquer states and impose lawgiyers on q
free people to the end that fraud and force
may eyermore prevail and the Free Laborer
be pieo on par with the degraded slave,
and who boast OF their infamous work, have
had an anxious and active apologist 10 the
same sheet. They have done no Iced, how
ever gross and damnable, but the 1iraes has
either justified or paliiated. This is hardly
less strange, either, for Free Journal in
Free State, but it is nj less true than strange.
On Saturday last for the purpose Of making
an odious comparison, and showing how much
more unexceptionable was the conduct Of the
Southern emigrants to Kansas under Major
Buford, going thither in the holy cause Of
Slavery, than those who came from the East
with opposite designs, it holds up the fact of
their departure from Montgomery under the
auspices of the Church, being each present
ed with Bible, and proceeding quietly on
their way, while the Eastern men were pre-
scented not only with Bible, but Sharp's
Rife, ara came prepared to fight as well as
pray. Our contemporary has utterly wasted
SO much pious admiration of the slave pro-
pagandists, and holy horror of freedom
loving men. A friend who came up the riy-
err with Major Bufords emigrantssinforms US
that they chartered two boats, each man
having rife, and y belt stuck with revolt
vers and knives. Arms were stacked about
the decks, and sentines were on duty, day
and night, in military style. These are the
meek and inoffensiyc creatures over whose
unexceptionable conduct the Times grows
eloquent, and whose bearing it holds up in
contrast with that Of men whom it loses no
occasion to traduce and belle. 1t doesn't
seem to know its men quite as we'll as it
might. The South inaugurated their reign
in Kansas by the bullet and the bayonet.-
Let not the Times fancy that they are about
falling back on Bibles alone. II should know
its men and their spirit better, for it is pit
liable to eat dirt unnccessnrily.
