zap.itt-ro del ex re; de ¿os franceses Luis Felipe.
Hace pocos dias se presentó a él un lacayo
enlutado, que le llevaba a componer unas botas
dn su amo. antiguo militar y hombre completo
cu cuanto le permitían .serlo las balas de la
campana de líusíaque le-habian suprimido una
fiiei-no y uu brazo: ia pierna, gracias a los ade-
4ntos ortopédicos, habia .sustituida cou una
magnifica maquina ¡Vc/fí/e, que, según su autor,
hacía inútiles'las verdaderas piernas pero que, ¡      pj^ 'Cartas parisienses  que   ha publicado
-,egun cl consumidor, no le hubiera servido para    ía Asamble Naewna!, tomamos lasiguienteane-
Iuconveulentes del fosforo;
La Emancipación de Bruselas refiere el accidente que a continuación tra a huíamos, ocurrido
en la linea del camino del hierro de Lelu-te y
Wolfeubutel. Un joven que iba eu uno de los
carruajes quiso encender un cigarro, y al cortarle la punta con un cortapluma,se hirió el dedo lijerameute; pero él sin hacer caso de la herida, encendió un ios foro. Una pequeña chispa del misto inflamado le cayó desgraciadamente en la cortadura. Al cabo da un cuarto
de hora, el dedo se le puso negro y un cirujano
que se encontraba en el mismo carruaje y que
había sido testigo del accidente, aconsejó al joven que se le cortase inmediatamente: este vaciló en hacerlo; pero cuando el eonvoi llegó a
Sohapenstcdt1 tenia ya la mano negra, y el desgraciado su fria horriblemente, Entonces se di -
cidíó a dejársela cortar inmediatamente, temiendo que si se descuidaba tendría que dejarse
cortar al brazo.
Siendo este el primer caso de esta especie de
que tenemos noticia, seria ne desear que los
hombres de la ciencia examinasen si el fo-foro
puede siempre ocasionar los mismo» efectos, o
si en el presente caso había causas especiales
para que asi .sucediese.
Lia industria y eltiijciilu
entrar en Moscow, ni aun para volver grupas
ciando ei asunto se fué empeorando y hubo que
llamar a t^eone.s.
Aquí traigo una ex-botasde mí ex-amo, dijo
el lacayo, para que las remetéis.
Esta ¡(ico, respondió el ex-zapatero ; pero en
'tal mal estado eetan, que bueno fuera, que vuestro amo se citilesiara en venir a que le tomase
medida, pues,yo no puedo, yor ahora, abandonar la tienda.
Es que mi. ame ha muerto hoy, repuso el -lacayo, y no veo el medio de que pueda venir.
Kn tunees poce importa que le sienten mejor
-e'lpeor: ptes de todos modos no podran hacerle
dario. fita bien ; mañana mismo tendréis con-
fluidas las botas y las llevaré.
En efecto, al dia   siguiente el ex-zapatero se
presentó en casa del   ex-militar   con sus botas
concluidas,y llamando a la puerta preguntó:
¿Vive aqui un caballero que ha muerto ayer?
¡Si Señor; y yo soy elex-lueayo de mi ex-amo.
Vengo a traer las   ex-botas de vuestro ex-se-
ñor.
Pasad adelante, señor ex-zapatero,
entró el buen artesano en la sala donde, en
trajéele'gala, se hallaba tendido en un ataúd el
antiguo militar del imperio. Quitóle una za-
patiílasque;tenia puertas, y el probó la bota áel
pié derecho, que logró ponerle sin dificultad;
,perorul querer hacer otro tanto con ía del izquierdo, encontró que nojse doblaba la articulación del tarso, y per lo tanto, no pudo meterle
ia bota.        '    ■=.■     ■    ■ ....
Vuestro ex-amo.dijo, tiene ya mucha rijides en
•esta pierna'y no hay modo de doblársela.
Si señor, contesto el cx-lacayo: sollozando,
xah amo cí'a hombro muy rijido, pero^muy lloarado eso -sí. ■ ■
No digo eso, sino que no puedo meterle la
bota.
Es que debo abver-tiros que la pierna izquierda de mi ex-se ñor, es de madera-
Pues diga Vd. a su ex-amo, señor ex-lacayo,
que yo no hago botas para ex-piernas.
Concluye la historia, seguí los periódicos
.franceses, eon que «\ ex militar que solo estaba
atacado de una catalepsia, se levantó de su ataúd
y a su aspecto tomaron presipitadamente la fuga el ex-lacayo y el ex-zapatero, el primero pararlo Volver, el segundo para acudirá los tribunales en reclamación del precio de sus botas.'
Ku contenencia de este lance, el ex-amo es
designado hoy jeneralmeete con el nombre do
el .ex-muerto'!
Tudos estos ei, eos recuerdan un^soneto que
no creemos se baya publicado nunca, y que
compuso en Genova en 1798 un caballero español llamado Don Vicente Aleguera en contentación a un amigo que le pregunto si era esclaustrado.
Lice asi;

Aplloficlondei vapor a laptíi».
Id*prensa inglesa se ocupa en estos momentos de una innovación, que consiste eu aplicar
el vapor para el ejercicio do la pesca en las costas. En la actualidad se está armando en Edimburgo un buque de vapor de mediana fuerza,
el cual debe navegar acompañado de cuatro barcas pequeñas de pezca, que llevarán la tripulación, redes y demás avíos necesarios. Estos
buques, irán remolcados por el vapor- que eu el
espació de tres horas los conducirá ai paraje
destinado para ia pszca, donde les será de suma-utilidad para las diferentes maniobras que
ejecutan habitualmente. Concluida la pesca
volverá a remolcar los barcos al puerto; de forma que éstos habrán llegado a su objeto con
doble prontitud, por lo menos, que lo han vere-
ficado hasta el dia, y además de la economía
de tiempo, podrán a las veces aprovechar de esta suerte ol estado favorable del mercado para
la venta del pescado. En les casos de tempestad
naufrajios o vientos contraries, cualquiera puede juzgar cuan eficasteria elausiliodel vapor
de remolqce.

Items     from   Mexico.
Our files of Mexico papers go to the 21st of
August. The Indian depredations are more
afflicting than ever, and every mail from the
Northern States give an awful picture of the
killed and wounded, of robberies and incendiarism. In spite of the general clamor, Arista
has done nothing for the o rotee tion ofthe frontier, and the 815,000 destined for the relief of
Durango, bus not been remitted for the want of
funds.
Meanwhile the revolutionary movements are
on the increase throughout the country, and
though, the 'Constitutional' calls them all but
local matters', nut worth mentioning, the Siglo
XIX tries to prove the contrary by enumerating
and qualifying tbe same. Tiie Mazatl-an
movcrient he considers particularly dangerous,
because the foreigners were all under arms,
and had paid 1515,000 ta Captain Yaldez as
their chief; but it appeals that they have
placed themselves under the orders of General
Ramon Morales, sent by the government as
Coinundante general. The former collector,
Mr. Itabajo, had been removed, and Mr, Landers appointed in. his place ; the custom house
was closed for some days, because all tbe custom house officers had   been sent to San Bias.
Tht, Guadalajare movement has taken a more
serious character, because Arista, instead of
treating the matter with severity; had sent
some commissioners to treat with the provisional governor Davila, who did not consider
their credentials as sufficient, but sent them
back, and addressed an impudent circular to
the Governor of ail the States, of which no
notice bas been taken, however. .Ex-Governor
Portillo directed a proclamation to the inhabitants -of Jalisco, stamping as traitors all those
who, in anyway, should further the revolution.
A few villages had pronounced in favor of Davila, (no notice being laken of Blancarte) and
tiie flight of I'crdigon Gnruy, (a great partisan
of Santa Anna's) from ;be city, caused venera!
consternation, because the proclamation of
Santa Anna's -'bunas oigtinicas"' would give to
tbis l-asmiad;iA (as tk-y call it) a political
character. The Jesuits of Cureretaro are also
in favor of Davila, against tbe more liberal
system of Portilla.
The movement of Robelledo is far from being
finished. He bad diciaved an addi-ess to the
Legislature of Vera Cruz, asking for impunity
to himself and followers: but no notice being
taken of it, ke took from tbe different ranchos
whatever he'could get, armed the Indians of
Naolineo, and marched, via Huatusco, for Cor-
dova where a new revolution had broken out.
Besides we read of troubles between the miners of Real del Monte.the Indians of the Sierra
Gorda against tbeir cruel landlords, of r. conspiration at Aguas Calientes, and n,'un expected revolution in the city of Mexico, where tlie
guards were increased; and prepared for any
attack.
The :term fixed on the 15th of August for adjudging the Tehuantepec Railroad was postponed, though Mr. Ramirez failed to give his
reasons.
Arista intended to send three beautiful Mexican ponies to Queen Victoria, accompanied by
one of his grooms.
In spite of the scarcity in the Mexican Treasury, one thousand dollars had been distributed
between the starving deputies, avid six hundred
dollars between fifty-eight mutilated officers, of
which twenty two dollars were awarded to their
counsellor. These payments show, more than
anything else, tire condition of the country.—

Louis    Napoleon.
An article in tbe July number of Blackwood,
written probably by Alison, the historian, represents ina most striking light the danger to
which lingland is exposed, sooner or later, from
France. It ¡'elates the following curious anecdote, which We have never before seen in print,
and which strikingly illustrates a very remarkable feature in the cluirac-erof Ijouis Napoleon ;
" Prince Louis Napoleon, like his uncle, is
very superstitious, and always carries an amulet, taken from the tomb of Charlemagne, on
bis person. He is known to have said in tbis
country, long before be left it to accept the
Presidency of the French E.cpubiic, -It may
appear in mc presumptuous to wear tbat amulet, but I have an inborn conviction in my mind
that I am one day to be the ruler of France.—
When 1 am so,'l shall first extinguish rhc license of the Press in Paris, and then attack
E-Kgland. 1 shall do so with regret, for I have
been kindly receiveu there, and it contains
many of my best friends : but I must fulfil my
misión: and carry out 'that which-1 know my
uncle had mostot heart—I owe that to his mem-
orijA In pursuance of these views, be has just
decreed 80.000 men to his regular army."'
Gold in Mississippi.
The editor ofthe Claiborne (La.) Advocate
has been favored with tho perusal of a private
letter from Covington county. Miss., which
states that considerable excitement prevails
there in consequence of the reported discovery
of rich deposits of gold. The letter says it is
reported there that ''a Mr. James Johnson,
living on Black Creek, in Marion county, has
found a gold mine where he can get it by ttie
cart load, but he conceals a knowledge of its
locality. He is closely watched by numbers of
people, but as yet no clue has been had to guide
them to the bed of treasure.'' It states further,
that a company had left Covington county,
with the intention of camping out and searching on Black Creek for gold,
Another   Proposed   Atlantic   and   Paclílc
Communication.
The London Morning Herald calls tbe attention of its readers to its advertising columns, in
which a company is proposed to be formed,
under a royal charter from the British Cfrowo,
for the purpose of constructing a plank road
across the Isthmus of Terra l-'irma proper in
the province of Veragua, a portion of the republic of New Grenada. According to a survey of
the Atlantic coast, made by the officers of her
Britanie Majesty's ship Thunder, and of thM
Pacific by those of tht: Herald, it appears, it is
said, that the anchorage, shelter and approaches from the sea upon both coasts, arc unsurpassed: and the distance across b. only 4-0 miU-s
in a direct lino, while hy the 1'anama route it
is fifty-; and by the Nicaragua route, from^ea
to sea, it is one hundred and forty miles. 1 lie-
Cordilleras, which rise on either band ol this
new route to a considerable height, are represented as divided by a deep valley, affording an.
easy grade fur communication and transit from,
coast to coast.
Ail these features appear very favorable' and
may furnish British capitalists good argumeius
for the construction of a line of communication
whioh'may divide the profits, and extinguish
the monopoly which lor a time must be enjoy-:
ed by the American routes; but tho idea of
doing this by means ofa plank, road, seems to
us go-ahead Yankees, to say the least of it,.
supremely ridiculous. Putting a team of horses
or' mules, capable of drawing a load say of- six.
tons upon a plank road; at the .speed of three
miles an hour, in competition with a locomotive
moving twenty miles au hour, with a burthen
ofa hundred tons, is an idea of which we should
think the British nation would be proud; and
would decree to its originator a monument in.
some conspicuous corner of Westminster Ab-
bey.
Plank roads, as the Herald says, are well
known in the United -States'and Canada ; and
answer well the purposes of travel and tbe
transit of merchandize^ and are also constructed at comparatively small cost. Thoy answer
au excellent purpose, it is true, in drawing to
commercial centres tho trade and produce of
provincial regions, but cannot be brought into
account with railroads or canals ns a means of
coinniunieaiion between those commercial cen-
i themselves. The transit ot
