illness seized him, and he was compelled to
| crave the indulgence of the Senate. An ad-
journment consequently took place.
On the subsequent day nearly the same au-
gdience assembled to listen to the conclusion
Of the speech. Before he rose to commence
Senator wrote the following imprOmptu.
which passed from hand to hand, and from
which copy was taken.
"What man can we'll perform his duty,

/ No wonder then when thus surrounded,
The speaker should have been coniouHded.

He'll have another vertigo"
The South Carolina Convention adjourned

Jour. Of Comm.
A few evenings since, handsome young
girl, domestic in a respectable family ~ TINS
city, was sent out on an errand. She had
not proceeded far up Broadway, when she
was accosted by one Of those worthless, who,
10 the garb Of gentleman, make it practice
to insult females who appear without pro
tector in the streets, or as they have it, "pick
them up" He asked her if he should have
the pleasure Of seeing her home ? to which
she replied. certainly-and then requested
him, cas- he was polite enough to see her
home. she would thank him to carry her bum
die for her,"-to which he joyfully consented.
They proceeded up Broadway to the corner
of Walker. street. when suddenly the lady
disappeared, leaving the gentleman with the
bundle in his hands, halsooing after her, for
it seemed he was too much astonished to fol-
low her. He then began to think what the
bundle contained, for it felt warm, and some
thing in it seemed to move. His fears were
excted-he proceeded to examine the con-
tents. and what do you suppose, gentle read
err, 1t contained "A child" you will say,
Of course unfortunately for the gallant gem
tleman, no! but four new born kittens, which
the girl had been sent out to loose in the
street in preference to drowning them. 1t is
truly to be hoped the gentleman has taken
fatherly charge Of the poor little four footed
orphans, thus kindly entrusted to his care.

Reporters.-Mr. Haughton, Editor Of the
Boston Atlas, who was formerly reporter for
one of the Washington papers, in an article
in his paper on the subject, says
The best stenographer at Washington. is
Joseph Gales, the principal Editor Of the Ma
tIonal lntelligencer. He possesses great man
ual dexterity. is familiar with the business Of
the House and with all public affairs. and SO
well acquainted with every subject that is
brought up that he never misunderstands the
argument Of the speaker. His accuracy is
wonderful. We recollect to have heard Mr..
r. p. Barbour, of Virginia, say once after
reading report of half an hours speech ia
ken down by Mr.. Gales, that he believed Mr..
Gales had not varied in even one word from
the speech that he had delivered. Mr.. Ran
dolph, however. always put him to severe
trial. for his parentheses ran into each other
like the colors Of a rainbow, add it was no or
diuary task to find the right line Of dcmarca-
tiOn.
