1ourmal ann STATESMAN,


From the New York Evening Post.
N0B0DY's SONG.
I'm thinking Just now Of Nobody,
Aud all that Nobody's done,
For I've passion for Nobody,
That Nobody else would own:
hear the name Of Nobody,
For from Nobody | sprung;
And sing the pi aise Of Nobody,
As Nobody mine has sung.
In lies young morning Nobody
To me WAS tender and dear
And my cradle was rocked by Nobody, j.
And Nobody was eyor near,
was petted and praised by Nobody,
And Nobody brought me upj
And when was hungry, Nobody
Gave me to dine or TO sup.
ILL.,
went to school to Nobody,
And Nobody taught me to read
played In the street with Nobody,
Aud to Nobody ever gave heed
rseounted my tale TO Nobody,
For Nobody was willing to heari
And my heart 1t clung to Nobody,
Aud Nobody shed tear
And when grew older, Nobody
Gave me helping turn
And by the good aid Of Nobody
began my living to earn
And hence eourted Nobody,
And said Nobods's I'd he,
And asked TO marry Nobody. ...i
i And Noledy ms rrisi ne. 81. = =
H-lIsair-AliA l's~HlH -
Thus truese along with Nobody,
Aud Nobody cheers my life,
Aud have a love for Nobody
which Nobody has for his wife,
30 here's health to Nobody,
For " Nobodys now in town."
And I've passion for Nobody,
That Nobody else would own.
NOBODY.

The following account from the Toronto
(Canadh} Colonist, of the death of man from
tasting q poison used in manufacturing brandy
from raw spirits, conveys its own moral
At about l. O'Clock on Thursday morning, a
clerk in ;the employ of Mr. Wright, liquor man
ufacturer, at Brampton, left the store for the
purpose. of manufacturing quantity of brandy
from raw spirits He took with him a prepar-
alton used for this purpose-by some called es-
sence o. wne and by others essence of bran
dy. The preparation was placed on the table
in the warehouse, and the deceased, Mr.. Nor
ris, afte.s preparing a portion of the liquor, re-
turned 10 the store, and took a lass of ale with
some friends from Toronto. He had scarcely
returned to his former occupation more than five
minutes, before the porter ran into the store in
great alarm, exclaiming, ''Mr. Morris has been
tasting the essence of brandy, and it has killed
him" On those present running to the spot,
it was found that the report was too true; the
sufferer had inadvertently tasted few drops
of the drug, which is nearly allied to prussic
acid, a|d instant death was the consequence Of
the unhappy mistake. An inquest was held in
the afternoon, but the verdict of the jury was
not given at the time the cars left Brampton
Mr.. Morris was a very well educated young
man of highly respectable family in Glousces-
shire, tlngland.'

| Several prominent citizens of New Orleans
are making the necessary arrangements to erect
a first class hotel on the ground formerly occu-
| pied by the old American theatre, fronting on
Camp and Poydras streets and Lafayette square,
and in the very centre of business. The lots
have been purchased for $4,000, and plan
of the building drawn by one of the ablest
architects in the city. The design calls for
seven stores on the basement fronting Poydras
street, and two on Camp, and from 200 to 1926
bed rooms; the building to be four stories high,
with all the improvements and conveniences to
be found in the best hotels of the day The
entire cost of the structure is estimated at from
S225,oOO to $3.50, 900, so that the whole, lot
included, will not exceed 100000. tits cal
culated that the stores will rent for $4,000,
and the hotel for $780, 900, yielding in the ag-
gregate $500 per annum, OR an interest Of
ten per cent. on the investment. 1t was the
original intention to erect the hotel on the cor
ner of Canal and Bourbon streets, but suffici-
ent ground could not be obtained, unless the
company purchased four splendid dwellings, at
an exorbitant price, and demolished them 1t
is contemplated that the new building will be
ready for occupation early next winter, which
will be source of qualification to all who may
visit New Orleans, as no first class hotel has
been kept in that city since the destruction OF
the Veranda by fire. The entire floating pop
ulatlon having been thrown upon the ST. Charles
and City hotels, the proprietors Of those houses
have had more patrons than they could accom-
modate, and have consequently grown careless
and Indifferent to the comfort of guests; while
the St. Louis hotel, being remote from business,
is the resort of the elite and the planters Of the
southern parishes. The new hotel will at least
create spirit of rivalry among the older estab-
lIshments which will accrue to the advantage of
all who may visit the Crescent CITY.
The immense tract of country in Georgia,
known as the Okefenoke swamp and which ii
cludes fourth Of the territory of the State, has
hitherto been reported as unavailable for aori-
cultural purposes as the boys Of Ireland; but a
recent survey proves the suppostion to have
been an utter mistake. The SO called swamp
turns out to be nc swamp at all, but on the con
trary fiat area ofrlch, turfty soil, upon which
the scientific explorers, much to their surprise.
found it very difficult to procure water This
discovery will bring into market and immedi-

A VOLCANO IN GEoRG1A-A writer in the
Chronicle and Sentinel gives the following &C
count If a volcano that has recent " made its
appearance in Pigeon mountain, some ten miles
distant from the town of Lafayette, in Walker
county;
Since October, 1855 the mountain has been
| occasionally attended with hollow roaring
sounds, resembling distant thunder, frequently
accompanied with dull explosions. This was
not vefy closely confined to any particular place
but sepmed nearly equal for about mile, ex-
tending each way from where the crater of a
volcano has since made its appearance.
This roaring sound continued, occasionally
dying away and reviving again, when, CATER
an abatement SO long that it was believed 10
have subsidized entirely it became suddenly and
unusually boisterous, and was attended for the
first time by slight shaking of the earth-
After hhis date it was omparatively quiet until
about ,midnight on the gath, when the earth
was Vi olently agitated several times.
The citizens in the vicinity were aroused and
terribly frightened by the commotion When
observing The mountain they were more than
ever fairfield, for a brilliant light was plainly
seen Issuing from the summit. The atmos-
phere soon became strongly impregnated with
dlsagreeable sul phuric odor On the follow
ing day thick torrent of smoke and ashes as
cended from where this light was previously
seen. This was perhaps owing to the elements
being covered at the time with very dark
cloud, No blaze has yet been seen to issue
from She crater 1t has continued about as
above described ever since, emitting smoke and
ashes without intermission. The crater is
thought to be about one hundred yards in d.
ametSr. No one has yet ventured near enough
to ascertain anything of its general depth
Several springs in the vicinity have totally
disappeared.
Many of the citizens are very much alarmed
and s2me are even moving out of the valley,
through anticipation and fear of violent erup-
tion.
GOING UP.-Six negro men, ranging from 80
to 40 years of age, sold in Lexington, Holmes
county, Miss, on the 18th ult., at an AVERAGE
of st618 355 EACH The terms of sale being
nine months credit, for approved endorsed notes
secured by mortgage. The Advertiser saws
that the negroes brought the highest prices ever
paid IN Holmes county for field hands. The
very same lot Of slaves were sold in 184e at an
average of 500 each. The antics of the free
soiler,s have only tended to enhance the nrice
of slaves. 't'' i'''e
