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

campana de líusíaque le-habian suprimido una

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.

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

Se encontraban hace algunos dias comiendo
en easa de cierto majistrado un fabricante y un
"novelista que trabaja tais-bien con éxito para
la escena. Este, que se hallaba, como suele
■decirse, en vena, hablaba con tal oportunidad y gracia, que el fabricante no cesó durante
la comida de reir y celebrar sus arranques de
injenio.
Con cluida ésta, el fabricante llamó aparte
al novelista y le dijo.'
—Sabed que mo habéis entretenido mucho.
—¡Caballero!....
— Seguramente: tenéis una grande reputación como hombre deinjeaio; pero yo uo creia
que erais tan divertido.
—Pero	
—Escuchadme, continuó el fabricante, mi
esposa esta enferma	
-¡Ah!
Desde -hace algún tteífipQ se ha puesto triste,
todo la fastidia : os suplico que vengáis a comer
cou migo uno dc estos dias, y la divertiréis.
—Bah! ¿eréis que sere capaz de divertir á
vuestra esposa!
—Estoi seguro: venid: estola distraerá.
— Perfectamente, amigo inro: sin duda sabréis las condiciones.,.,
£1 fabricante miró asombrado  al novelista.
—j Condiciones ! Repitió, como un hombre
que trata de comprender.
—Por supuesto, respondió el otro con mucho
aplomo. Cuando como íbera de mi, casa, gano
quinientos francos.
—5¡¡n duda! vos frabricais productos químicos, telas de algodón, aceite de remolacha y o-
xros artículos, que vendéis para vivir. ¿JSo es
cierto?
—Si... pero...
—Yo—continua el novelista.—Fabrico in jenio y con él vivo: es me industria. Por lo mismo, cuando una persona me invita a comer para divertir a su esposa, le cuesta quinientos
francos.
— Esa es una broma.   .
—No por cierto: vuestra   mujer  esta  triste!
caviadme el numerario en es pecie y  yo  iré á
entrenerla.
Se ignora si cl fabricante comprendió la indirecta; pero en cambio se sabe que la comida
ao se verificó.

Ún negro favor te pido,

Estadística del cafe,—En la sesión celebrada el 10 de enero próximo pasado por la sociedad estadística de Londres. M. J. Crawford
leyó una estensa Memoria sobre la estadística
del cafe. Creemos que nuestros lectores no hallarán indiferentes los datos que de ella hemos
tomado'
La planta de café es orij icaria de laAbisinia
donde se encuentra en estado silvestre, aunque
también esta cultivada. De alli-fué trasportada
a Arabía en 1450. Los árabes no conocieron el
café hasta unos 800:años después de Mahoma,
y 40 antes del primer descubrimiento de la
América. En el espacio de un siglo se propagó
el uso de aquella bebida por todo el Ejipto y
otras provincias del imperio turco, de donde pasó después a Europa Un comerciante turco llamado Edwards compró la primera caja de azúcar que se desembarcó en Inglaterra, y un esclavo griego preparóen 1562, en tiempo del protectorado, la primera taza de cafe ingles.
Después de haber entrado en varios interesantes pormenores acerca de cultivo del café y
estension que ha tomado, pasa Grawford a evaluar la proporción en todas laspartesdelmundo,
en los términos siguientes."
El Brasil 176 millones de libras inglesas. Ja-
va-124 millones. Islas Felipinas 3 millones, Celebes 1 millón.Crabia 3 millones. Duba y Puerto-Rico 30 millones. La Guaría y Puerto-Cabello 35 millones. Las Antillas inglesas 8 millones. Las Antillas^francesas.y holandesas -2 millones. Santo Domingo 23 millones. Coíta-Rica
9 millones. Total 476 mílloues delibras inglesas.
Valuada esta producción en Europa a 50 chelines el quintal pasa de 10 millones de libras
esterlinas o sease 250 millones de francos. Su-
pouiendo que una cantidad de 300 millones de
libras quede sujeta a un derecho o impuesto de I
tres peniques (cerca de 33 cent. ) por -libra,
resulta que el cafe produce a los diferente tes '
gobiernos de Europa, la suma de 3 millones de
libras esterlinas (osean 02-500,000 francos.)
Cuando los 476 millones de libras decaíé debiesen ser conducidas a Europa por mar, exiji-
rian 214,589 toneladas que al flete medio de dos
y media libras esterlinas, producirían a la marina la suma de 530 mil libras esterlinas (13 2
50,000 francos.)
Ha calculado ademas M. Grawford en su interesante memoria, el consumo total y relativo
de cada país. El de Inglaterra y de Irlanda ascendía en 1850 a 31 millones de libras, esto es,
a una libra y 13 céntimos por cabeza, lo cual
forma algo menos de lo mitad de té. que allí
se consume. En América el consumo del café
es cuatro veces mayor que ei de té. El reino
Unido gasta 12 millones de libras esterlinas en
cafe, 3 millones en té, y 10 en tabaco.
Pondera finalmente M. J. Crawford el uso de
la achicoria, no porque pueda esta remplazar
al cafe, sino por que le sirve como de condimento;/ lo mejora. £nnuestro continente, y en especial en yllemanía y en Francia, se hace mucho uso de la achicoria, y va en aumento el consumo detcafé; en Inglaterra la emplean poco,
y el consumo del café se disminuye, porque el
te cuesta mas barato,
Fecundidad del Jenio,—Las novelas publicadas hasta ahora por Alejandro Dumas,
compone 592 volúmenes; las de Balsac215; las
de Eujenio Sue 293: las de paúl Feval 252 y
las de Jorje Sand 95. por cuyos manuscritos
han pagado los editores mas de 2.500,000 francos.
Uno de los escritores franceses mas laborioso
y mas fecundos, y que en larga carrera se ha
ejercitado sobre las mas diversas materias: historia, literatura, erudición, geografía, ciencias
naturales, estadística, administración,—Mi el
barón de Walckenaer, ha muerto en París la
noche del 27 de abril a la edad de ochenta años.
—Era secretario perpetuo y subdecano dé la
Academia de las Inscripciones y Bellas Letras
del Instituto de Francia, conservador-agregado
ala Biblioteca nacional. Adminij;trócomo prefecto muchos departamentos y llenó 'por muchos
años las importantes funciones de secretario jeneral de la prefectura ¿el Sona.
Se ha publicado el censo de Francia. La población es de 35,781;6b-8, de lo que resulta que
el aumento es mucho menor y proporcional-
menfce que en ¡os anteriores periodos—la diminución la atribuyen a la emigración que ha
habido para California y Sud-América, y á los
menos casamientos, que ba habido por la turbación de los tiempos.
Rothchild Jefe de ísrarl.—El corresponsal de Paris del evangelist de New-York escribe
lo que sigue: ilEstrañas noticias nos llegan de
Constantinople No mencionaría rumores semejantes si una cosa parecida nose hubiera
anunciado ahora tres años, ¿¿epito los rumores
Bin garantir la verdad." La Siria ha sido cedida á M. Rothchild por'cien millones de pesos.
Jan ao no sabe si uu título será del Rey ó de

salen y et templo de Salomen ; habrá capillas
para todas las relijiones ,una linea de vapores
de Beyrou á Marsella, y un ferro-carril de ale-
jandria á Cons tan tin opla. Los nuevos estados
de M. Rothchild son abundantes de fierro y
-bosques de maderas apreiiables. Se dice que

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.—
[Alta California.
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

W*e   Decision    In   Texa».
A ease ha* tJf;c.n decided in the District Court
for Uie count) ot Rexw, in Texas, which, if
confirmed m tec Sum-ems Court, will operate,
itis said, to decíate «everal thousand of blacks
iree, who have been held heretofore as slaves
A slave woman was carried from- the United
States to Austin^ Calonv, in Texas, in 182G
Slavery was not recognized by the laws of
Mexico at the time. The eormitutWn of Coa-
liuila and Texas was proclaimed earlv ia 1827
and the woman, tbe subject of suit, daughter of
tlie original slave, was born on the brazes about
the middle of im. When the constitution of
18bb wos adopted by the Republic of 'iexas,
slavery was established, and the mother slave
was oi tbe claw enumerated in that constitution
as slaves. The daughter having been born ia
thu country, win not included by the provisions
of tlio constitution.
In a suit, involving the question ofthe fre*~ '
dom ef ths gir; u has b'-e-i decided that the
condition of blacks m the country during the
existence of the Mexican law was that of "freedom. ;md that the act of sovereign power in remanding them to the original condition of
slaves, which they held when imported from
the United .States, did not affect their offspring
born m the country, before the adoption ofthe
constitution cf the Republic, who are consequently free.—[N. O. Picayune.
Death   of  Jim   Taylor.
We have received a letter from Stockton, giv-
ing the particulars of the shooting of a man,
in that city, known ae Jim Taylor, from which
we make the following extract:
On Friday night, Sept. 3d, Taylor and hia '
party got on a spree and went around  town
breaking up all the  furniture in   the various
bar-rooms, and raising   "a .row generally."	
Among other places, they went to a house called the " White Rose," kept by a man named
Turner, where thoy demolished glass, decanters, and everything they could think of. Oa i
Saturday Turner met Taylor, and asked him to
pay for-the damage he had done. In rente,
Taylor told bim he would kill him the first
chance he got. To-day Turner came upon
Taylor,, when the latter was unprepared, got
the first shot and clipped bim back of the head.
Taylor then tried to draw his pistol, but before
he could do so, Turner..gave him two more
shots, and be fell dead on the spot. Tbis Taylor is the man who shot Bill Owen in tbehand.
