AWARLIKE DuCK.-Mr. -, q somewhat
distinguished comedian, was famous at one
time for his devotion to cock fighting. The
process by which he was cured Of this predilec.
ton, and restored again to society,"" is thus
given by brother actor, equally distinguished
on and of the stage, for his professional talent
and gentlemanlike manners.
Mr.. had become possessed Of fine
game cock warranted to fight" and off whose
spurs the proprietor fondly hoped to win many
laurel to his crown " when professional en-.
gagements should afford him the time to EN-.
bark in main." Meanwhile he boarded the
animal out in the family Of respectable negro,
residing remote from town, and whose poultry
could fairly be supposed not to have formed
any of those destructive habits, the requirement
of which would have been fatal to the character
of the chicken"
Two months had elapsed, when the darkey
called upon the actor for the champions board.
The two dollars were paid at once, and "now,"
asked Mr.. how is the chicken2"
De rooster, master?"
Yes; yes how is he?"
"Why, de fac is dat de rooter is gone dead -"
"Dead! The finest bird in America, dead |!
You're joking, surely; nothing short Of light
ming could kill that fowl"
at not adzackly lightnum, massa, but our
old duck, she light on him, and kill him de fus
There was some rapid travelling in that
vicinity Immediately after the communication
Of the intelligence, but the comedian never
again speculated in game fowls.

SENATOR BRISHT.-We hear IL stated that az Q
recent meeting OF Republican Senators, 10 was De
tefmined TO bring forward, on Thursday NEXT,
resolutions for the expulsion OF Senator Bright Of
Indiana, on account Of his letter Of introduction,
addressed to Jef. Davis, found upon a person
who desired TO sell the patent right for an arm,
to that individuals so called Government
Though writing the letter in question was Ger
tainly to be greatly condemned, we question
whether it furnishes Justification for such action
as 10 proposed to be prUdicsted upon It. Had
Senator Bright IN any manner aided and abetted
tie cause Of the rebels, or given any other evil
aeace OF sympathy with them, such action might
be justified by public opinion.
The contrary 10 the case, however; and the pro-
posed experiment Of sTPelling him from the Sen
ate simply on account Of foolish Letter IL really
dangerous one, If the active sympathy Of his
friends In Indiana, in the military service Of the
Government, b. E5rtn the eff Jrt 10 preserve 10.
They are now in lrE.s for the good cause rs gen
CIally, quite, as their political opponents. The
path Of wisdom is 10 le' political bye-gones re-
main bYe-gone5, until e end Of The war; IL but
to induce all pS.iies y emulate each other In the
wars prosecution.

INDIA RUBBER CoRKs-Mdnufdctursd under Good
gears Patent, Extended June Is, 1858.
A new and desirable article which has long been
needed to take the place Of the common cork for
Champagne, Porter, Ale, Cider, &c, afrer the
original cork is drawn. They prevent any loss
Of fixed air and keep the liquor In the same state
as when first opened.
1t being alright it is the only article suitable
for Acids, Aqua Ammonia, Smelling Salts, Indel-
ible Ink, and great variety Of articles which are
more or less volatile, and which destroy the COM
mon cork, but have no effect upon the Rubber
The Rubber Stopper will not chip or break of
as the common cork is liable to, making 1t neces-
sary to dig out the part left in the neck of the
bottle or phial. Its toughness and tenacity obvi-
ates this objection to the common cork.
They are prepared with the purest articles, i'm
parting no smell or taste to the most delicate
preparation, and may be relied upon by all Ply
sicians and Surgeons.
On the score Of economy, it will take the place
Of all other corks and Shoppers, as quantities Of
liquors Of all kinds and medicines are obliged to
be thrown away, having become stale and worth
less, for the want Of being tightly corked. They
pers for druggists bottles and phals, which often
stick and are difficult to get out.
They are put up a dozen in a box Of different
sizes expressly for families, so that when any
bottle Of liquid IL opened, the Rubber cork should
be used.
They can be put up differently, assorted for
Wine and Liquor Stores, Beer Bottlers, Hotels,
Club Rooms, Bar-rooms, &C, &c, Of such sizes
and quantities as may be wanted.
They will be for sale at all the principal Drug
glst and Rubber Stores throughout the United
States
A company has been formed under the title Of
the Goodyear India Rubber Cork Company, for
the manufacture Of the above article, under the
exclusive license from MIR. Goodyear's Executors
for the United States, and they intend to place
them before the public at prices reasonable that
they will come into general use, and in great
measure supercede the common cork.
