Another Buopiir.r.—The follow i.ig cu t ious statement is made i:i a recent letter of the regular Paiis correspondent of the Lon don Atlas: Wonders will never cease in Pa; is. A dis covery which has lately been made of an ex traordinary individual living at the Bnriiere d’Eufe, and who proclaims himself to the world ns the heir and successor oi Jesus Christ, has created the greatest cuikhity among the miracle hunters of our capital. This man is a peasant of the name ot I’eti mond, about five and forty years of age, ol Eimple and unpretending manners and home ly speech. He is, however, manifestly under some extraordinary magnetic influence, for he has cured, by the effect of Lis touch alone, many persons who have been to visit him. lie receives nil strangers who seek him with the greatest simplicity, disclaims any credit for the wondrous miracles he performed, merely repeating the assurance of Lis ap pointment, by our Saviour, who appeared to him in a dream, to go forth to the wo: Id to testify to the truth of the gospel. He is of short stature, and of full, expressive counte nance. Hi* hair, parted on the foiehead, de scends on either side of his temples. There would be nothing remarkable about the per son of the man, were it not for the circum stance which has given live to the wilful lie, or the unhappy delusion, whichever it may be, that he thus openly advances, we:e it not for the extraordinary xligmalcs on Lis hands and feet, and the deep cieatiice in Lis side, \v enec, dming the whole of Passion V\ eek, have issued huge drops of blood! Many peoj le worthy of belief have told me that there is no delusion about tins. The hands and feet are pierced through and through, and the wound i.i the side is about t\o inches long, and very deep; that they have seen the blood ooze from those wounds slowly, and drop by drop, for hours together, dining the past week, and that dming all this time Pen mend remains exhausted on his bed, 1\ ing. as it wore in a trance, without food ornou.ish jnent, and to all appearance dead. After sun set he revives, the bleeding ceases, he recov ers his senses, partakes of some slight le freshment, and passes the whole night in pray er. 11 is dress consists of a slant tunic of white linen reaching to the knee, with long full trowsers of the same. On Lis head he wears a white linen turban of the Jewish form. Heeaniesno ornaments on Lis per son save a gold clasp, which fastens the baud to which his wai t is confined. The police have been most active in causing the st.ictcst investigations to be made into the history and antecedents of the man ; but as yet nothing has been discovered which can in any way serve as excuse for molesting him. All that is know n is the fact that he has recently ar rived from Grenoble, where he had lived a holy and religious life, much beloved bv the old peasant woman, who had reared him, and who even to the hour of her death, de clared to have found him one morning lying beneath a hedge near her cottage. No trace of his parentage has ever been discovered, lie never sties abroad, and discourages all meetings or assemblies at Ids house; there fore the authoiities of Paiishave nought to do in this case. Several physicians of eminence have already been to emit him, but none have as yet been able to solve the mystery of the long last and bleeding. Dr. C , the great anatomist, after remaining two hours in his room last Fiidav, left in despair, declar ing, with an oath, that the juggle was too well managed for discovery, and therefore, the mystery, like that of the ecstatic virgins of the Tyrol, remains a mystery still. A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE STCRY. A CHILD OF PRAYER. A few weeks since, in coming down the No. th lliver, 1 was sealed in the cabin of the magnificent steamer Isaac Newton, in con versation with some friends. It was becom ing late in the evening, and one after another, seeking repose from the cares and toils of the day, made preparations to retire to their berths. Some, pulling off their boots and coats, lay themselves down to rest; others, in the attempt to make it seem as much as possible like home, threw oil’ more of their clothing —each one as his comfort or appre hension of danger dictated. 1 had noticed on the deck a fine looking little boy of about six years old, following around a man, evidently his father, whose ap pearance indicated him to be a foreigner, probably a German—a man of medium height, and respectable dress. The child was unusually lair and fine looking, hand somely featured, with an intelligent and af fectionate expression of countenance; and from under his little German cap fell his chest- . nut hair, in thick, clustering, beautiful curls. After walking about the cabin for a time, the father and son stopped within a few leet of where w t c were seated, anil begun prepa rations for going to bed. 1 watched them. The father adjusted and arranged the bed the child wars to occupy, which was an upper berth, while the liule l'cllow was undressing himself. Having finished this, Lis father tfiu a handkerchief around Iris head to protect Lis curls, which looked as if the sun-light li-om hi- young happy heart always rested there. This done, 1 looked for him to seek Lis rest ing place; but instead of this, he quietly kneeled down on the floor, put up Iris Little hands together, so beautifully childlike and simple, aud resting his arms on the lower berth, against which he knelt, he began Lis vesper prayers. The father sat down by his side', aud wait ed the conclusion. It was, for a child, a long prayer, but well understood. 1 could hear the murmuring of his sweet voice, but could not distinguish the words he spoke. But what a scene! T here were men around him —AJhiistian men —reti.ing to test without prayer; or, if praying at ail, a kind of mental desir e for protection without sufficient cour age or pietv to kneel down in a steamboat’s eabin, and, before strangers, acknowledge the goodness of God, or ask his protecting love. This was the training of some pious moth er. Where was she now ? ilow many times had her kind hand laid on those sunny loekk, as she had taught him to lisp his pray er's ? A beautiful sight it was, that child at pray er, in the midst of the busy, thoughtless throng. He, alone, of the wo. Idly multitude, draws nigh to heaven. 1 thank the parental love that taught him to lisp his evening pray er, whether Catholic or Frotestunt, whether dead or living, whether far off or nigh. It dij me good, it made me better. I eouid scarce refrain from weeping then, nor can 1 now, as I see again that sweet child, in the crowded tumult of a steamboat’s cabin, bending in de votion hefore his Maker. But a little while before I saw a crowd of admiring listeners gathering about a company of Italian singers, in the upper saloon—a mother and two sons, with voice, and harp, and violin ; but no one heeded, no one cared for the child at prayer. When the little boy had finished his even ing devotion, he arose, and kissed his fathe most affectionately, who put him into Ills berth to rest f> )’ the night. I felt a strong de id e to speak to them, but deferred it till mor ni;rg. When morning came, the confusion of landing prevented me from seeing them again. But, if ever I meet that boy in his happy® youth, in his anxious manhood, in his declin ing years, I'll thank him for the influence and example of that night’s devotion, and bless the name of the mother that taught him to pray. Scarcely any passing incident of my life ever made a deeper impression on my rnind. 1 went to my room, and thanked God that 1 had w finessed it, and for its influence on my heart. Who prays on a steamboat? Who train their children to pray, even at home ? THE BETTING DANDY. A young gentleman—with medium size, light brown mustache, and such a* suit of clothes as fashionable tailors sometimes fur nidi to their customers “on accommodating terms”—that is, the insecure credit system — came into a hotel in Race street, yesterday afternoon, and after calling for a glass of Ma deira, turned to the company and ofl'ered to bet w ith any man present, that the ship Sus quehanna w ould not be successfully launch ed next Saturday. ‘1 lie “banter” not being taken up, lie proposed to wager five dollars that Dr. Webster would not be hung. This seemed to be a “stumper,” too, for nobody accepted the chance. The exquisite glanced around contemptuous ly and remarked : “1 want to make a bet of some kind. Don’t care a d—n what it is. I’ll bet any thing from a shilling’s woith of segars to five bun dled dollars. Now’s your lime, gentlemen ; what do you propose ?” Sipping a glass in one corner of the bar room, sat a plain old gentleman who looked like he might be a i ‘enns\ lvania farmer. He put down his glass and addressed the exquisite —“ Well, mister, j’m not in the habit of making bets, but see ing you are anxious about it, 1 don’t care if 1 giatity you. 8o i’ll bet you a levy’s worth of sixes that 1 can pour a quart of molasses into your hat, and turn it out a solid lump of mo lasses candy in two minutes by the watch. “Done!” said the exquisite, taking oft’ his hat and handing it to the farmer, it was a real 1 lorence hat, a splendid article, that shone like black satin. The old gentleman took the hat, and requested the bar keeper to send for a quart of molasses; “the cheap sort, at six cents a quart —that’s the kind 1 use in this expei iment,” said he, handing over six coppers to the bar keeper. The molasses was brought and the old farmer, w ith a grave and mysteiious countenance, poured it into the dandy’s hat, while the exquisite took out his watch to note the time. Giving the hat two or three shakes, with a Signor Blitz like adroitness, the expeiimenter placed it on the table, and stared into it as if watching the wonderful process of the solidification. “ 1 ime’s up,” said the dandy. The old farm er moved the hat, “Well, I do believe it ain’t hardened yet,” said he in a tone expres sive of disappointment—“l missed it some how or other that time, and I suppose I’ve lost the bet. Bar keeper, let the gentleman have the segars—twelve sixes, mind—and charge them in my bill.” “D —n the segars,” roared the exquisite, “you have spoiled my hat that cost me five dollars and you must pay for it.” “That wasn’t in the bargain,” mildly answered the old gentleman, “but I’ll let you keep the molasses, which is a little more than we agreed.” Having drained the tenacious fluid from his beaver, as he best could, into a spit-box, the man of mustaches rushed from the place, his fury not much aba ted by the hisses which followed his exit. He made his complaint at the Police office, hut as it appeared that the expei iment was tiled with his own consent, no damage could be recovered.— Pennsylvanian. A Huckster Outdone.—Away down in the smait village of Cincinnati, there vege tates a certain hotel keeper, who for cutoness is ‘some,’ you may depend. Having frequent ly been imposed upon, while supplying his bountiful larder, with articles of geese by the w ide awake buckeye hucksters, he deemed it high time to try if cheating was not a game that two could play at. So one morning bright and early, he presented himself before one of the numerous farmers’ wagons sur rounding the market square, with a— ‘l s-s-sav fi iend, g-got any g-geese V (the poor fellow has got Charles Lamb’s defect of speech.) ‘Yes, fine lot— ’ ‘W-v ell, I’ve g-got up at my ho-house the rd-firt dest set of b-b-boys for g-geese you ever did see, and I want to h-h-head ’em off a few w-v.ith some tough ones—can’t you pick me out some old h-he fellows V ‘Well, I don’t know but I might find one or two ;’ and so, turning over his piie of poul try, he collected some eight or ten geese, whose claims to the title of ‘old he-fellow:-,’ needed no corroborative fact, but might be pronounced clear and unquestionable. ‘Mine host’ eyed the progress of separation with evident satisfaction. ‘Are those all the tough ones you’ve got ?’ ‘Yes, I vow 1 did not know I had so ma ny.’ ‘Well,’ was the reply, ‘I g-guess I'll take the o-otker lot.’ Making Auger Holes with a Gimelet —“My boy, what are you doing with that ginblet V said I to a flaxen-haired urchin, who was labor ing w itli all his might at a piece of board before him. “Trying to make an anger-hole,” was the reply, without raising his eyes. Precisely the business of at least two-thirds of the world—making auger-holes with a gimblet. Here is young A., who has just escaped from the clerk’s desk behind the counter. He sports a moustache, his imperial, carries a rattan, d.inks champagne, talks big about profits of banking or shaving notes. He thinks he is really a great man; but every body around him sees that he is only “making auger-holes with a gimblet.” Miss C’. is a nice, pretty girl, and might be very useful, too, for she has intelligence—but she must be the ton —goes to plays, lounges on sofas, keeps her bed till near noon, imag ines that she is a belie, disdains labor, for gets, or tiies to, that her father was a me chanic—and all for what 5 Why, she is try ing to work herself into the belief, that an auger-hole can be made with a gimblet! A fiiend of ours was tolling us not long since, of an acquaintance of his in Alabama, who was noted for his mendacity. He rela ted of lin the following anecdote: Said someone to the liar, “Do you re member tine time the stars fell, many years ago I” “Yes,” said Mendax. “Well,” remarked tke other, “I have heard it was all a deception—that the stars did not actually fall.” “Don’t you believe it,” returned Mendax, with a knowing look ; “they fell in my yard as big as goose aiggs. I’ve got one on ’em yety only the children played with it so much they’re wore the shiny pints off.” The Manufacture of Cotton in the United Staes. —According to the Hon. N. Appleton, of Boston, in 1845, the annual product of all the cotton-mills in the United States, was 350’000,000 of yards. There has been a small increase, notwithstanding the failure of some large mills. Mr. A. sup poses the consumption of cotton in the Unit ed States in the year ending September 1, 1849, was 600,000 bales, of which 100,000 are consumed south of the Potomac, and in the Western States. The receipt oi this en tire quantity was 270,000,000 pounds. The estimate value sf the cotton when manufac tured was 807,500,000. The New Oilcans Bulletin commenting upon this statement remarks: “What we de sire most particularly to call the attention of the reader to, is the fact mentioned by Mr. Appleton, that the manufacture in this coun try of 600,000 bales, about one-fourth of an average crop of the United States, has in creased the value to axty-seven and a half millions of dollars; fully equal to the value of the whole crop exported at the average price of the raw material for the last five years. Let us suppose the whole crop, say 2,100,000 bales as an average, were manu factured in this country, instead of receiving sixty millions of dollars therefor as now, this country would receive two hundred and for ty millions of dollars in addition to the pres ent value of cotton exported. Astounding as this fact may seem, it is nevertheless true. We ask, therefore, the intelligent and reflect ing men of the South, if it is wise or sound political economy not to avail ourselves of the advantages which the manufacture of the raw mateiial will certainly secure to the South and the Union? The true policy of the country, and that which will most cer tainly secure the highest degree of prosperi ty, is to biing the spindle and loom in close proximity with the cottn field, and you build up a market for our c.otton, and also for all the breadstuff’s and provisions that the South can produce. Certainly, no intelligent mind will require argument or illustration to satisfy it that such a state of things would render the country —the whole country —more pros perous.” Swearing mid Lying. The following mirth-provoking story may be an old Jo redivims, but we do not recol lect to have seen it before. At any rate, the reading of it proved a dangerous experiment to our waistbands: A Quaker had a piece of newground to plough which was full of roots, aud he set his hired man, John, to hold the plow while he drove the oxen. A root would catch the plow; the plow-handles would hit John a wallop in the side; and John would commit a breach of the commandment —“Swear not at all.” So it went continually—cotch, jerk, thump, swear, who! back! gee! haw! jerk, thump, swear. At length the placid spiiit of Jedediah be came disturbed by so much profanity,and he stopped the team and told John to take the goad and drive the oxen, and he’d see if he could not plow without swearing. John took the ox-goad arid Jedediah seized the plow handles. He placed his two legs in a brac ing position, and John drove ahead. The plow caught a root, made a bound, and one of the handles hit J edediah under the chin, and he exclaimed: “Well, raly, I never saw the like.” Again it caught, hit Jedediah again, and he again declared that he had never seen the like. It caught again, knocked Jed. down, and he rose with the exclamation: “Well, raly, I never did see the like.” So matteas went, til Jed. returned to the starting point, and had positively affirmed that he had never seen the like, some fifty times. “There, John,” said he “take hold of the plow and see if thou canst not get along with out sweaiing. Thou hast seen that I have not sworn an oath the round.” “No,” replied John, “thou hast not, friend Jed, but thou hast told full fifty lies.” Jed thought a minute and replied: “Well, John, I don’t know, but my lying may be prompted by the wicked one as well as thy swearing. I hope the pesky roots will be taken into the consideration in the final account of both of us. Get up! Duke and Darby!” Mrs. Partington’s Last. —“ Fifty-two Sons of Temperance,” exclaimed Mrs. Par tington, and “twenty-five daughters, too. Why, bless me! how many children has Aunt Tempygot? And I hear some talk about Cadets of Temperance! What sorts of debts are them ? But no wonder she owes debts, when she has so many children to maintain—how I pity the old c:ittcr.” And the old lady pulled her spectacles over her nose and resumed her knitting. To Preserve Hams through the Sum mer. —A wiiter in the “Gennessec Farmer” gives the following as his method of curing hams. It is an easy experiment, and de serves a trial by those in curing pork. “Make a number of common cotton bags a little larger than your hams; after the hams are well smoked, place them in the bags; then get the very best kind of sweet, well made hay, cut it with a cutting-box or knife, and with your hands press it well around the hams in the bags; tie your bags with good strings, put on a card the year to show their age, and hang them up in your garret or some dry room; and my word for it, if you let them hang for five years, they wil be better for boiling than on the day you put them up. I have kept them seven years, and have some now that are four years old. This method costs but little, as the bags w ill last for years. The only loss is the hay, and that the cattle will eat if given to them in the winter,. No flies or bugs will trouble the hams if the hay is well pressed asound them, the sweating of the hams will be taken up by the hay, and the hay will impart a fine flavor to the hams.” bachelor acquaintance, “why don't you get married?” “Well’ I dont know; came very near it once ; just missed it,” “You did? Let’s hear it.” “Why, I asked a girl if I should see her home from a party one evening and she said ‘No!’ If she’d said yes, I think I should have courted and married hear. That’s the nearest I ever came to getting married.” His friend was satisfied Mercy. Mercy is goodness in tears. Goodness e .tendeth a helping hand to Lim who can al ready walk; Mercy to him that is prostrate aid cannot rise. Goodness makes good men out of bad men. Goodness puts living man in a beautiful garden and bids him dress it; Mercy erects the cross and bids dying man look and live. Goodness gives to the younger son the portion of goods that fallethto him; Mercy sees the prodigal a great way off, and has com passion, and run 6, and falls on his neck, and kisses him. He that makes light of Good ness sins: he that makes light of Mercy is doubly damned.— N. Y. Rtcorder. To Physicians, Druggists AND COUNTRY MERCHANTS DR. J. N.

Memphis, Tenn., March, 1850, The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth and professional acquirements, will compare favorably with the mo t di. tingui-hed in our country. The medi cal faculty con titutos an anomaly in this or any other country—all of them aie able lecturers and the be-1 of teachers. Those who contemplate our geographical portion, and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprre of the kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year, we deny that any other city has more. A common error cxi t- in the mind- of many students relative to the place of studying medicines : tho e who intend practicing among the di -ea e= of the West and South should certainly educate them elve- at a school whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those diseases. That the public may he sati fled of the permanency of this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus tees arid Faculty form a unit in action, which augur well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal organization which connect- them, cannot be interrupted.
