HENRY SULLIVAN,
Deputy Shérif
Paroisse d'Iberville, G Septembre, 1850. \n\n T he C ompromise Bn.Ls.—The National In
telligencer contains the following paragraphs
The bill relating to the boundary of Texas
and the Territory of New Mexico; the bill to
admit the State of California into the Union;
and the bill to establish a territorial government
in Utah, having passed both Houses of Con
gress, Were yesterday laid before the President,
and were by him approved, and are therefore
laws.
A certified copy of the Texas Boundary act
was forthwith despatch by the Secretary of
State to the Government of Texas by a special
messenger who has already departed for his
destination.
We presume that the Senators and Represerf
tativcsof the State of California will take their
seats in their respective bodies to-day. We be
lieve all the gentlemen are in this city.
T he N ew P atent M oi^e T rap .—The Au
gust number of the Journal of the Franklin
Institute contains the specification of a patent
ed mouse trap. The improved mode of body
snatching is as follows: A savoury piece of
toasted cheese is suspended on a hook. Enter
rat. A small mirror is so adjusted that the
rat sees his shadow in the glass, (just as Rich
ard did,) and not recognising himself at first
sight, thinks that some other rat is aiming for
the cheese. He rushes in to head off Iiis rival.
The board h» treads on is a deceiver. It is sup
ported by a weak spring, (probably a patent
truss) which yields under his weight, and pre
cipitates him into a lower story of the trap,
when the floor flies up to resume its placs. Ano
ther rat comes along—sees the reflection of his
predecessor, as well as his own, and thinks two
rats are fighting for the cheese. In he goes—
down he goes, and so on, toties quotics.
The advantages of this trap are obvious. It
economises cheese. It saves the animal alive,
and affords to mankind and dog-kind, the pleas
ure of subsequently killing liim at their leisure.
It teaches a useful lesson. Rats should study
optics. They should learn to know their own
face, when they see it in a glass. Hence our
inanrats are now beginning to crook their long
hairs around their lips and give them a charas
teristic curl, so that they may identify them
selves by usiDg a hair-lip for an earmark.—
[Pennsijliaman.
A L ar(îe T hroat .—The Morning Star, pub
lished at Cincinnati, relates the following anec
dote of a young gentleman of the South who
expended a large fortune—money, lands, ne
groes, every thing, in a course of intemperance
and profligacy.
As he had just paid a last year's grog bill of
§900 one day he was walking in the street lei
surely, when seeing a physician on the oppposite
side, hecal'ed out to him to come over.
"Doctor," said he,"I wish you'd just take a
look down my throat."
"I don't discover any thing, sir," said the doc
tor, after looking very carefully.
"You dop't?" said lie, why that's strange! will
you be kind enough, sir, to give another look."
"Really, sir," said the doctor after a second
look, "Idon't see any thing."
"No! why doctor, there is a farm, ten thou,
sand dollars, and twenty negroes gone down
there."
Tift W idow .—The Bo.ston Post is responsi
ble for the following.
Is there any character in life sp interesting
as a young and beautiful widow? Not a flirtv,
coquettish one, who even anrd her sorrows, has
an eye to future wedded happiness with anoth
er; but one of genuine heart, wedded to her hus
band's urn, pensive, but not sad, her grief sof
tened to a placidness
" devout and pure,
Sober, steadfast, and demure."
I met one of this fashion last week.*IIer sor
rows had served only to soften her charms, as
age mellows a picture. Her brilliant eyes, which
I have oft-time seen dance with joy, had lost
none of their power, but they were more sub
dued—they seemed to bo looking beyond the
grave, longing to join her liege lord in one
eternal bliss of wedded love!
"When your good husband died," said I, "earth
lost a bright ornament, but heaven gained a
saint." A tear of sorrow stood in the widow's
eye, but a gleam of religioils hope and resigna
t'on mel'.ed it away. "I need not tell you," con
tinued f, "that, search the wide world, you can
not find his fellow—you already know that full
well."
The fair bereaved one clutched my hand con
vulsively; I had touched the right cord—nature
burst forth—a very torrent of tears gushed
from her eyes —like unto an earthquake heaved
lier breast—even the "counterfeit presentment"
of Niobe upon her came, seemed to catch the
"soft infection," and rain alabaster tears! and in
sweet and broken accents the beautiful mourn
er thus sobbed out—"I'll bet I do!"
CPAs gold which he cannot spend will
make no man rich, so knowledge which he can
not apply will make no man wise !

. From Gov. Tucker.
For the benefit of suffering Im inanity, as well as
an act of jnstice^^ ßr. SAMUEL GILBERT, I
make the followi^ptateineut:—That in June last
I had a small tumor upon my face, rather between
my nose and chaek. which gradually increased dur
itig the past summer in size and cxient; on accoun
of which I consulted several truly eminent phv»'>.
cians. under whose treatment I received benefit.
In the latter part of !»st Januar; I visited New Or
leans. Ill the space o' M seven days, bofore reaching
•.'.e city, tho tumor had greatly enlarged, and the
iUaammation increased to an alarming extent; so
much so, that front the inner corner of my eye to
the end of my nose, and out to my cheek botte, be«
came literally a jump of putrid flesh. The disease
had also made its appearance on the opposite side
of my nose. In this condition I presented myself
to Dr. Samuel Gilbert, not knowing with what dis
ease I was afflicted. Dr. Gilbert promptly pro
nounced it an eatiug Cancer of the most virulent
character. I put myself under his Irealuient. He
extracted the tumor without the use of the knife,
and iu four weeks tny face was well, as I then and
still believe. T. M. TUCKER,

To tbe Publie.
I wish to bear testimony to Dr. GILBERT'S
skill, through your valuable and truly independent
paper. I was sorely afflicted with hereditary can
cer; the disease killed my father, who had the best
medical aid in the country. The disease made its
appearance on my upper eyelids, and continued to
spread and pain me' severely, until I well nigh lost
my sight; 1 could scaicely discern a horse from a
man across the street. Having often heard of Dr.
Gilbert's success in the treatment of such cases, I
left tbe State of Pennsylvania arid came to New
Orleans—was put under treatment—and, 1 am
happy to say, soon enred, and no sign of the dis
ease left, and my sight perfectly restored. This day
I leave for home. A.C. COR WINE.
