a Question of some Importance.

In the Baton Rouge Gazette Of Wednesday last
we find the following remarks upon subject that De
serves the attention Of every person who has sac
charne tooth
Since we noticed the fact that the use Of Bi.su-
phite Of Lime " in making sugar, might have bad
effect upon consumers, testimony is coming in on
all bands to place the question beyond the cavil Of
doubt Practical experience is worth all the theory
that ever rode =" Mablike " through the brains Of
man. and this Is being brought to our office daily By
old sugar makers and persons who ought to know
something of the subject, il they do not. All that
has been wanted-it appears nOw--t0 have bad the
merits Of this question before the public mind earlier
has been an organ AS the manufacturers Of BIZ
Sulphite are very liberal with their newspaper pa
tronage, the press has very properly been silent:
What is eyeryb0dys business is nDbOdy5 business,
and when you find q newspaper editor who does not
puff his customers and their wares then notify Bar
mum or Van Amburg to come and get him. That
man shall be the ninth wonder Of the world.
Doctors never take their own physic lawyers
never go to law for Justice and we have yet to meet
with the divine who believes that the aid of any Of
his contemporaries in the pulpit is necessary for his
own salvation The same principle holds good in its
application to sugar makers. They make fine,
light article for market it looks well and commands
the highest price but when 1t is to sweeten their
own coffee at home they do not doctor it with the
poisons that get into the article of commerce. 1t is
notorious fact that nearly every planter in this and
the neighborng parish will make this year as they
lcithout the poison of bsuphite. We referred the
other day to the fact that the refuse from the kettles
after making sugar with this article, will kill hogs,
and endeav0red to present the well-ascertaned fact
that the stomach Of man much resembles in its struct.
ure the same arrangement in the genus hOcicO (vul-
carly hog,) which has to root with its snOut in the
earth for its living his counterpart has TO rot in
the air.
The hogs upon which the experiment was made
had to be penned up, cHbbed and confined, and it
killed them all in short order, Left alone they turn
up their noses at this poison and will not touch it,
God Almighty has created them with instincts which
man has not, and hence he (man) is imposed upon
by authorizations Of every article he eats, besides
some that he drinks. In Christian point of view
we should like to know how planters use an article
to make their produce bring half cent more in the
pound that they know full wen is injurious to the
animal economy We dare say that the great NOR
taIity this season among children be traced di
rectly to the syrup and mOlassas of the bsuphite
We refer to well.wrtten article in todays paper Of
this subject, signed " n" Having practical expert
ence to sustain Us in antagonsm to bi-sulphite
with the naked truth at our back, we shall STRIKE
with our buntest and heaviest blows at the root o
this paying evil.

MICHAEL SERvEruss-In 1868, Michael iservetus
was arrested in Geneva and condemned by the SYN
dies for teaching perncions doctrines. The princi-
pal blasphemies imputed to him were the denial of
the Trinity, predestinat0n and total deprayitv. He
was not, however, Socinan, but taught that Jesus
Christ was the incarnate Deity sole and supreme in
all worlds, very God in his divinity yet approaching
and mediating with humanity, through which helm
parted to mankind the Holy Spirit with its virtues
and graces. He suffered at the stake according to
the sentence Of the Syndcs and his books scientific
as well as theological were burned with him. This
was misfortune, for he had anticipated many of the
discoveries of science. He was the first who taught
the circulation Of the blood.
The following is the sentence pronounced and exc.
cuted against him:

A CURtosITY.--A nail about the size of an eight
penny was handed to a few days since, which was
exCaVated from hard limestone rock, twenty or
thirty feet below the surface Of the earth The rust
had eaten it in two not far from the point and it was
made in the fashion Of the nails Of the present dav
But how did it manage to get itself embedded in a
rock many feet below the top Of the ground. This is
question for scientific men to answer. Perhaps it
tell from Noahs ark when this part Of the world was
covered with a waste of waters instead of with
fields OF cotton and corn or perhaps, it is Of later

A PAINFUL OPERArIoN-The London &c. Wy
Press Of the I'D pt., relates the following occur
renee
On Saturday morning little fellow, about years
old, son Of Mr. Gilleau, bookseller, while playng
with some other boys on North street, approached
lamppost and carelessly applied his tongue to its
grayirosed surface when, in an instant to the boys
own horror and utter establishment of his playmates
be was held fast by his tongue to the post suffering
very severe pain and totally unable to help or extr
cate himself OF course the boy could not speak,
and could only manifest his feelings by signs with his
hands Various applications Of warm tea. steam,
etc, were made by some neighboFs, who heard the
unusual noise made by the other boys, and came to
learn what the matter, but Of avail, such was
the action Of the cold iron that the hold was even get
ting tighter. When after about ten minutes had
elapsed the boys father heard of the affair." and hast
ening to his relief, he took knife and was obliged
to cut the tongue loose, leaving its skin still fast to
the most and causing the blood to flow very prosely
Immediately his release the poor little fellow be-
cause inseusble, and was taken home.

Texas IntellIgenee.

From the Galveston News, OF Tuesday last, we ex
tract tie following:
The steamship Atlantic, which comes in the place
of the disabled Texas, arrived this morning. On the
gulf, she encountered a severe gale and was deemed
necessary to throw overheard a large and valuable
deck load estimated by Of the passengers at the
value of 100000.
On Sunday evening, about II o'clock, we were Wis
tied by drenChing rain, which lasted almost without
intermission, until nightiall last evening. All day
yesterday if blew perfect Dorther, and to-day the
weather is delightfully."- bright and bracing.
We have heard d good deal said, and seen many
paragraphs in print about a disease called black
tongue in Texas. We have heard Of much alarm in
many parts Of the country, aud have seen no small
manifestation OF it in this city, Of late. In some
places the people said to have refused not only
eat beef but milk and butter also for fear Of the dis.
ease But after all, we do not remember TO have
heard Of the first case Of sickness from this cause
We learn, says the San Antonio Herald of the sd
ult, that the grasshoppers have appeared in large
numbers, on the SaadO some twenty miles northeast
OF this city. They are now laying their eggs in the
ground which, upon eXaminot ton, appear about the
size OF ant eggs and large crop Of these pests WILL
in all probability, appear in the spring.
The Brazoria Democrat says:
The weather still continues cold. Since the first
heavy frost we have had but one or two warm days.
This has prevented the from souring, and pros
poets for the sugar crop are decidedly better. We
believe most, if not all OF our planters will be able
to save their cane.
The Central Texan Of the 9th says:
jesse Gibson was killed at Retreat, in this county,
we learn on Monday last, by j. R. Phillips the in
strument of death being an ak. The parties were
both wagOn,makers aud had been living, we are
told. but short time in the village where the
tragedy occurred. We know nothing of the circum.
stances of the case further than the undeuied state
ment that Gibson had armed himself with pistol OF
knife, to be used upon Phillips aud had been seek
ing difficulty with him for several days previous tc
the fatal rencontre. No was present at the kill
ing. From the previous conduct Of the parties how
ever the impression prevails, we are told thai thu
homicide was justfable. Phillips in default of tw,
thousand dollars bail has been committed to on
county prison. A writ of habeas corpus has beer
granted, we learn by Judge Gray in the case, which
will be heard at the city Of Houston on Saturda,
| next the Nth December.
