GnmAN's BAGAssE FURNACE
Elsewhere will be found a notice Of
s. H. Gilman's Bagasse Furnace, pa
tented some two years ago. Mr.. Gil
man is known to many Of our planters
as the agent of Messrs. Niles l. Co.'S,
extensive machine works at Cincinnati.
He has for years past, been charged
with the putting up Of their engines
mills etc., in Louisiana, and as scien-
ti6c machinist is perhaps without a
rival. This coupled with the fact
that he is a gentleman prompt in all
bis business engagements, gives him a
character and claim on the attention
Of our planters that few can boast of.
The apparatus he recommends to pub
lie attention is not an experiment, as
most of these devices have been-but
a machine-the practical utility and
economy Of (which has been fully test
ed. We look upon the great consul
nation SO devoutly wished for by plan
ters-of a bagass burner. as fully ac-
complished. Letters addressed to Mr..
Gilman 81 Natchez street New Or
leans, will be promptly attended to-
Any planter desiring to avail himself
of the advantages of Gilman's patent,
can havea book with diagrams Illus
trating his arrangements by addressing
him as above.

MAcAuLAY.-The London Times is
startled at finding the two new volumes
of Macaulay, of sixteen hundred pages

for eight or nine years. After citing
the authors announcement that he
intends to write his history down to

still living" the Times asks whether
he can fulfill his promise, or whether
he will leave as "a fascinating frag-

Madness with Method.

Under this head the Memphis but
let;,s, has the best-the most brilliant
SELL" we have heard Of, in long
time. A lady goes to the insane asy-
lum-calls for the Superintendent or
Doctor, and with sobs and tears Of
grief, reveales to him, the fact that
her husband is insane and she wishes
to place him in the asylum, to prevent
him, and herself serious threatened
injury. She then goes to fashion
able jewellery establishment-purchas-
es a $500 set of silverware, and on
pulling out her elegant port mo''no'e-
finds that she has but $40 in it, "a
slight mistake she has left her book
with change, at home. She takes he
silver, and the polite clerk gets in the
carriage with her to serve her as an
escort, and also to serve his masters
in the collection of the bill. The
lady drives back to the Insane Asy-
lum-the physician of which she gives
the clerk to understands her hus-
band. But to the Doctor she intro
duced the Clerk, as her husband,
saying:
doctor, this is my husband with
an air at once sweet and sorrowful.
The poor attendent started. He
was struck aghast. He could not
fathom her meaning.
what did you say
doctor this is my husband; please
take him in charge"
The devil, madam. I'm not
your husband! what do you mean
Bursting into tears she sobbed aloud
He has another spasm--he has an
other attack. Oh. Doctor, if you
have pity in your soul, secure HIM
and save yourself and me from VIC
lence."
In vain the poor fellow attempted te
explain. He was hurried alcng the
corridor and into room, and confined
securely-the woman all the while
following close behind, weeping as
though her heart would break. The
doctor and the lady returned to the
reception room, and the latter, after
giving the other an outline of the pc.
culiarities Of her alleged husbands
attacks, together with some direction:
in reference to the care she desired tc
have bestowed upon him, she left
promising to return again in a few
days. Away whirled the carriage
the silver ware and the lady; neither
of which has been heard of since

ANOTHER EDITORIAL CHANGE

Several changes Of late have been spo-
ken Of, in the pfopretorship and
editorship Of our contemporary in
Church street.-The Advocate. Yes
terday morning a brief notice from
Messrs. P. NJ. HATCH and D. c. JEN-
xrNs, informs the public that they
have disposed Of the paper to F. H.
HATCH, of Livingston, and d. MARTIN,
Of the Alexandria Democrat. The lat
ter gentleman has won laurels Of profit
AZ we'll as honor in the cause Of de-
mocracy, and is extensively known as
the Ajax Of the same. We wish the
new proprietors the realization of their
fondest anticipations in a pecuniary
point Of view, and wish they may
be with their politics; if they
advocate the same kind, which the re-
firing proprietors have daily poured
out-as it would seem to so little pur-
pose, the past season. To the gentle
men retiring, we wish all manner of
the blessings, which ever flow from
clear conscience, al peace with the
world. Our friend HATCH P. M. is
bound to us in fraternal Port Hudson
bonds, and we are glad that he has re-
tired to rest, for the cares of State, and
the responsibility Of having the screw

between bis fingers. has done much to
wrinkle his brow and deface his pbysi-
ognomy. Our friend JENKINS, is a
gentleman who personally stands high
in the estimation of all who know him.
Our best wishes 60 with him to an
other and better sphere of action. All
the hard things he has saiI against the
party, Of which we are proud to be
ranked as one is forgiven. We know
that the majority Of his articles Of fire
and birthstone, never came out OF his
own heart, but have been the offspring
of the intolerant and abusive spirit of
the age, working outwardly upon him
that his mind has let them pass
through and arranged them in classical
and eloquent language, to meet the
demands on him as an editor of a po-
litical paper. We are proud now to
say it, that we have sailed along, with
the different proprietors of the Adro-
cate, through many years of the most
friendly personal relationship, aud
hope to do so with the gentlemen who
now have charge Of the political en-
CINE and battering ram.

campaign.
The evening closed with II brilliant and able address
from James Lyons, Esq, VIII" always 'peaks with
power and engages the intensesi nIcIcat oil his De-
lighted audience.
The Democracy of Monroe Ward are setting an e1
cellent example to our party in this city. They are
thoroughly alive to the Importance of the present
canvass, and are working with a zeal and energy
which will insure them largely increased vote in
their ward Under the direction and supervision OF
| their active and efficient Vigilance Committee, OF
which our friend, L. w. Glszebrook, Esq ia the able
chairman they are holding series OF enthusiastic
| ward meetings.
On Saturday night last, at Schadds Hall, on Broad
street, they had glorious rally which was well at
tended. Mr.. Samuel I. Bayly, one of the Electors
for this city, made his first address during this can
vass, aud spoke with an ability and success highly
gratifying TO his friends. The Democratic party Of
this city contains in its ranks number OF young
men of fine talents and excellent PROMISE capable OF
doing good service to cause aud we hope to see
| them more actively enlisted in its behalf
| At the conclusion Of Mr.. Bayly's address, James
LYONS, Esq, was called upon for speech, and re-
spouded in stirring aud eloquent address OF more
than au hours length. Mr. Lyons gave most cheer
ing account Of the prospects OF party in the North
and dwelt with happy effect upon the identity of
opinions held by our party North and South. He
said that he never felt prouder than when, recent
occasion, he addressed Democrats Of Pennsylvania
al he addressed Democrats Of Virginia, and found
that the came sentiments which he advanced at home
=. were received with hearty commentator there. Al
the conclusion OF his address, Mr.. Lyons offered re-
solution recommending that the Democracy OF the city
hold grand mass meeting. and to invite the Democ
racy of the State to attend. The resolution was passed
unanimously We think the suggestion an excelieh
one, and trust that our friends will carry 1t out
once upon scale commensurate to the Importance o
