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.

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.

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. Negros AmoTM. Por una negra señora un negro galán doliente, ;' negras lágrimas derrama de un negro oecho que tiene. ■Hablóla uaa negra noche, ■y tan negra que parece que de su negra pasión el negro luto le viene. Lleva unn negra guitarra, negras las cuerdas.y verdes, negras también las clavijas por ser negro el que las tuerce. Negras pascuas me dé Dios, si mas negros no me tieeen los negros amores tuyos que el negro color de allende. Ún negro favor te pido, si negros favores vendes, ¿y-si con farores negros un negro pagar se debe. La negra señora, entonces enfadada'del negrete, con estas negras razones al galán negro entristece. Vaya muy en hora mala el negro que tal'pretende, pues para galanes negros se hicieron negros desdenes. Kl negro señor entonoea no queriendo enegrecerse mas de lo negro, quitóse el negro sombrero y fuese. _<&a.e nos <gueda qne ver yaJ ¡Reside en Paris desde algunos dias, dice el Journal da Havre ds 14 de marzo, un individuo que ] uega a] billar con mucha habilidad con su naris*,, por medio de la cual obtiene efectos inaudito. .Presentado en un circulo de la calle de Ri- eheli u, ba dado en presencia da una galería de hábil es alucinados, una brillante prueba de su destreza. Un poeta mui célebre del Mediodía de la Francia quiso luchar con él, pero fué derrotado a la primera partida y en el desquite. Lojmas curioso es verlo levantar la bola pegada a la tabla. En presencia de esto dificultad es cuando desplega mas destreza y etratejia, Uua gran partida debe tener lugar en el corriente mes. Cuantos aficionados encierra Paria debe asistir a aquella sesión. M. Jorge= Brown el mas'escelente jugador de Londres, se ha presentada apostando cien libras esterlinas., y la apuesta ha sido aceptada.

La Francia acaba de perder al contra almirante Ducrest de villenueve, que se encontró siendo teniente de navio abordo del Temible, eu el desastroso combate de trafalgar. Este ilustre marino ha muerto víctima de una apoplejía fulminante, cuando se hallaba todavía, ancianidad, lleno de vigor y de Noticias varias. El caballero Hulseman, Austríaco Encargado de Negocios eu Washington, ba recibido permiso de su gobierno para ausentarse de su puesto por un termino 1 i mi tado. Debia partir mui luego para Europa. El gobierno Turco ba aumentado considerablemente el número de sus vapores de guerra. Actualmente tiene diez y -ocho, contando todos- una fuerza de 3,700 caballos. La prensa de París.—Un corresponsal de la Independencia de Bruselas, dice que los periódicos dc París tienen lá circulación que espresan estas cifras Comtitutionnel 28,000 ejemplares, Sieclc 23,000, Frem 16,000, Juina! des Debuts 14,000, Pays 12,000, Esthfette 12,000, Assemblée Nationah 9,000 Unioñ 5,000- —A su último cumple años Luis Napoleon tenía cuarenta y cuatro años. —Dos vapores se han encontrado de Nueva York, para aumentar la línea de Nicaragua para California. 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 Bajá ; es cierto que se propone radificar á Jeru- 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 M. Rothchild llamará á sis eorelij ion arios para que regresen á la tiein de sus padres, para que posean el lugar donde estuvieron las tien- dfi.8 de Abrahan y Jacob. a&fhlento* y Máximas. El deshonor es ía muerte del hombre moral. Es mas íacíl extinguir un primer deseo que satisfacer todos los que le siguen. Los hombres dicen délas mujeres todo laque les place ;ias mujeres hacen dc los hombros todo lo que quieren. . La vida es uu avaro es una comedía., de que ■no se aplaude sino la escena que la termina. Eltrabajo.es el centinela de ía virtud. Cuando estes triste, jira letras de cambio contra el por benir; ellos podrán ser protestadas al vencimiento; pero ¿qué importa, con la que el presente las descuente! La justicia es la venganza del hombre social, eomo la venganza es la justicia del hombre salvaje. Las pasionos de los hombres son mas funestas al-jenero humano, que las convulsiones de la naturaleza. El egoísta no arriesga nada cn el trato de los ¡hombres él participa de todos sus goces, y no Be identifica con ninguna de sus penas.

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 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. — [San Francisco Whig.

Un zapato que gozó de gran reputación en
otros tiempos V c¡ue ha venido mui A menos, vive actualmente en uno de los arrabales de Paris
donde tiene una muy modesta tienda sobre cuya
puert:. se ¡ce en una mui modesta muestra: Éx
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;
No rae llaméis el ex por caridad,
después que lo adoptó la convercion,
Debe Europa a la Francia esta invención
y fué primer frutóla ex piedad.
Sigió el aje-rei, ex-reina, ex cristianídad,
¿¿-cura, ez-fraile, ex-monja, ex-levocion,
rx-Papa, ex-car den al, ex-relijion.
íi-ckUü, ex-templo, ex- dogma y ¿x-verdad.
Mira si el ex que tu me llamas hoi,
un ex fatal para la Francia fué :
otro eavmenos falta buscando vo¡
*y de encontrarle tengo viva fé:
Va me parece que escuchando estoi
ex-lJur.._ .ex-nation, ex-íiherté.
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.
