Legislative Eten2s.

We take from New Orleans papers the fol-
lowing Legislative Items, which are among
the latest proceedings Of the assembled
wisdom of the State now in convention at
Baton Rouge:
Mr.. Oliver, from joint select committee TO
which the subject was referred, reported a bill
directing the Commissioner of the Second
Swamp Land District to make certain i'm
provements in Bayou Plaquemine, in the
parish of Iberyille-made special order for
Tuesday next.
What those Improvements are, we are nn.
able to say.
An Act relative to Plaquemine Female
Seminary, Unfavorably.
We presume the Catholic College petition
for $4,000, is killed also. We don't see how
they could report uyarorably on one, and fa-
roraJly on the other. The above was the re"
port of the committee to which it had been re-
ferred.
Baton ROUGE, March 3.-The New Orleans
and Baton Rouge Railroad bill has been re-
ported on favorably in the Senate.
This bill has passed the House, the State
giving 100000 towards it. Our Representa-
tive, Mr.. DowNEs, voted against it.

point out who is to suffer first. And all this
too, when the effect of a crevasse according
to Mr.. HebeFt's approved authority, Chas.
Ellet, Jr.) is to diminish immediately the
channel below each and every outlet or Gre
vase.
Gov. Hebert was right as to the effect of
the Raccourci CUTOFF. Cut-ofFs do raise the
river below by changing the plane of descent ;
but an outlet does not change this plane of
descent neither will the closing Of an outlet
change it by raising the river below this never
has been the effect, and | venture to say neuer
aciU be. The two cases are as different as
north from south there is no parallel what.
ever between them. Aside from the question
of outlets, there is much to commend in Mr..
Hebert's report, and the writer frankly prof.
fers his humble testimony, with that of others
already given, to this effect.
A desire to arrive at the truth has alone
prompted the above, and no disrespect what.
ever is intended to our able State Engineer.

%A~& -
THE undersigned will open a Classical and
A English School in the town of Plaqu emine,
on the I'd MONDAY IN MARCH, in the large
frame building on the corner of Bank street and
Fenn's Alley, and viii, continue the same for a
session of four months. Having been for many
years engaged in educating the youth of Louisi-
ana and Mississippi, both in Primary Schools and
Colleges, we would in the continuation of our
labors respectfully solicit the patronage of the
citizens of lberville in our new location.
The government and discipline of the School
will be strictly parental, yea a strict obedience
will be expected and required Of all to those me-
cessary rules and regulations which appertain to
every well-directed Institution of learning. No
paines will be spared in giving to the classes
entrusted to our charge a most efficient, practicsl
and thorough education.
No deduction will be made for loss of time but
in case of protracted illness; all payments will be
promptly required at the close of the session, and
no scholar will be allowed to a sec
ond session until his previous dues are paid and
he is clear Of The BOOKS.
Rates Of T1aition:
For the Jnnior Glasses per session, $40 90
For the Senior and Collegiate do, 80 100
For Book Keeping by Double Entry, so 90
The course Of study for the Junior Glasses
will embrace all the English branches taught IN
our best schools, while those who are preparing
for the learned professions will be instructed IN
the Lain, Greek and French Languages, as well
as Mathematics and all the other studies which
are required for admission to any College or Uni
versity in the United States.

This gentleman, although he fully expected
to have left US a week since, is still here, and
as busily engaged. in practicing his beautiful
art, as he was the first or second week of his
visit. Of course he cannot leave while such
. flood of patrons flock in upon him-as has
been characteristic of the past week--yet, as
the time is approaching, as we understand,
when be has definitely fixed upon for his de-
parture for Europe, he cannot, under any cir4
cumstance, considering bis pre-engagements,
allow himself to be detained here or anywhere
else but a very short time longer it would
therefore be well, if there are any yet in this
vicinity who have determined upon taking ads
vantage of his present visit (and without doubt
his last) to have their features portrayed upon
the faithful and fadeless glass, they should
not pfOcrastinate a day longer, for he may
leave before our paper again goes to press.

The Mails.

= ave wish that the POST
master General would turn his attention to
some two or three humbugs that pretend to
carry the coast mails between this city and
New Orleans. He would probably, after care
full inquiry, ascertain how it is that our New
Orleans papers very frequently come down the
river r'-Baton Rouge Advocate.
This is pretty severe talking, when we take
into consideration the gentlemen, or the com-
panies, to whom or which the Advocate alIudes
and terms ~hambugs. We have been an editor
here about three times as long as our contem-
porary in Baton Rouge has been an editor
there, (and an editor, of all persons, should be
the best judge whether the mail is properly
carried or not,) and We can truly say that-he
mail was never more regular, or delivered here
with more punctuality even when it was a triu
weekly, than II has been as a daily, since Corr
TON & LANDRY and HOLMES g. LEArHERs
have had the contract, aud we feel very conf
dent that we viii be supported in this as
segtion BY these of our citizens here who have
paid any attention to the mails. The Aduo.
cate speaks Of the New Orleans papers coming
doWn the river. Such has been the case here.
but we would ask our contemporary this guess
ton: Suppose it ID a dreadful cold and stormy
night when the boat arrives, and that after
whistifng and ringing the bell for SONS time,
ana no one comes to get the mail, what would
DC have The captain TO dO-to throw the bags
out on The bank, or leave them at the next
town TO be returned BY the FIRST boat?
we like to see justice done, when il is eyi.
dent@t that the energetic gentlemen alluded 10
are doing all that men can do 10 carry ont
faithfully the conditions of their contraet-snd
as we say above, we are sure the mails were
never delivered here more punetually than
they have been by the present contractors Il
Is strange that there should be cause of com.
plant in Baton Rouge and none here.

HorriJe.-The Editor of the "Scalpel," in
the February number, in an article on the
Education of American School Girls" has
discovered a horrid practice prevailing among
young ladies of eating chalk and slate~pcncilsr
and drinking vinegar, to avoid gaining flesh
Every few persons" he adds, "imagine the ex-
tent to which this suicidal perversion Of the
natural instincts will go, in young women,
who are under the influence of their imagiDar
ry superiors, in what they consider graceful
thinness; much has been said about iigh, la
cling, and because the corset has partially gone
into disuse, people imagine that compression
ofthe lungs had ceased; it is far otherwise,
hooks and eyes and whalebone have taken their
place, and the insane devotees willingly starves
herself by the year."

Cause gf BrOoke's Death.-A N. York ply.
stefan writes the Courier and Enquirer, that
Mr.. Brooks could not have died of Group, but
must have diedfrom a spasm of the epiglottis,
which is simply a valve that closes the passage
to the lungs when we swallow food OF .fuids,
Slight congestions of this little valve often
take place 10 colds, and produce cough, with
altered voice, and if the congestion extend to
the muscles of this valve, it will fall upon its
oriice and suffocation ensue. The rene.
dy is always Of hapd. The patient may place
his thumb on one side of the trachea or winds
pipe, and his finger on the other side, a small
inch below the angle of the jaw; squeeze it
tightly, and push directly upwards towards the
tongue; and the motion, with the pressure on
the muscles, will Immediately raise the valve
to its perpendicular position-hold it a few
minutes till the valve RECEIVERS its tone, and the
patient will be ont Of danger.

The Poor VagraMts

A few days since there appeared iTour town
q poor, emaciated being in the shape of a man,
who appeared TO be about 40 years of age
His face was bruised and cadaverous, his hair
light, but dry, matted and bristly he wore no
coat, and his shirt, which was once white and
Of a good quality, was now ragged, bloody
and filthy it showed his naked arms in places,
which were also bruised and a little bloody ::
no cravat hid his lean and wrinkled throat his
hat was a sloucheG white Of an inferior quail
ty, and his pants W ere black cloth, which, when
new, would have graced a nabob, but now
alas they were well matched with the other
habiliments-and to sum up the whole at the
bottom, he wore no shoes, his feet being en-
cased in q thick pair of wooden soc Thus
equipped, as straight as an arrow, moving with
dignity but with somewhat of a ghostly tread,
he walked our streets for several days, scarcely
ever speaking to a soul, and lodging occasions
aHy into a coffee-house and out again. His
eyes were wild and glassy-he had evidently
been on a terrible "bust," had the h~orrurS, and
was III liiG Olfh4lE VI HCbGI tttHe ~ Tet AAS
had most probably been put on shore here
from off some steamboat; he did not look as
if be was a laboring man. In reply tosa gen.
gentleman, lie intimated that he was from va
zoo City, and wished to give a draft on a mer-
camille house there for the loan of ten dollars.
Unfortunate man who knows but there are
those at home now languishing for his return
who, possibly, when not under the influence
of drink, is a respected citizen, akind husband.
Since the above was in type, we perceive
that the stranger, through the kindness of one
of our citizens, has been FURNISHED up as good
as new he talks and has the manners of a
respectable man swears that he will never
again drink liquor--and by this time probably
is among his friends at home.

Fourth Of March-- Why Selected ?--Do our
readers generally know the reason why the
Fourth of March was chosen as the day for
the Inauguration of the President of the
United States 1t was selected because the
fourth of March in every year commencing
from the first Inauguration, cannot come OH u
Sunday for at least three hundred or more
years,
This fact shows the regard which the
trainers of oar government had for the Sab
bath. They arranged the matter so wisely
that the day for the performance of the cere-
monies Of Inauguration will not fall on =
Sunday for three hundred years.--Tf4e Delta.
