There were (and | believe still are)
two lawyers in partnership IN New
York,w iththe peculiarly happy names
of CATCHEM and CHEETUM People
laughed at seeing these two names in
iuxtaposition over the door; SO the
lawyers thought it advisable to sepa-
rate them by the insertion of their
christian names. Mr.. Catchem's
christian name was Isaac. MIR. Cheet-
um's, Uriah. A new board was or
dered, but when sent to the painter it
was found to be too short to admit the
Christian names at full length. The
painter, therefore, put only the initials
before the surnames, which made the
matter still worse than before, for
there now appeared, 81. catchem and

WASHINGTON LOVED HIS MOTHER.

Immediately after the organization Of the pre-
sent. General Washington repaired to Freder-
icksburgh to pay his humble respects TO his
mother, preparatory to going to New York An
affecting scene ensured The son feelinglv
remarked the ravages which tottering disease
had made upon the aged frame of his mother.
and thus addressed her.
The people madam, have been pleased, with
the most Haitering unanimiy, to elect me to the
chief maglstracv of the United States, but be-
fore can assume the functions of that office,
have come TO bid you an affectioate farewell
So soon as the public business, which must me-
cessaniy be encountered in arranging a new
government, can be disposed off, shall hasten to
Virginia, and"-
here The matron interrupted him. You will
see me no more. My great age and the disease
that is last approaching my vitals warn ME
that shall not be long In the world, trust in
God l am somewhat prepared for a better
But go, Gectge, fulfil The high destinies which
Heaven appears,to assign you; go nv son, and
may hat Heavens and your mothers blessing
be with you forever"
The President was deeply affected His
head rested Upon the shoulders of his parent
whose aged arm feebly, yet fondly encircled
his neck. That brow on which fame had
wreathed the purest laurel virtues ever gave to
ereared man, relaxed its lofty bearing. That
look which could have overawed Roman
Senate, nlts Fabrician day, was bent in fiIial
tenderness upon lie time worn features of this
venerable matron.
nc great man wept. A thousand recollec-
ilons,crowded upon his mind, as memory retract-
ing scenes long since past. carried him back to
his paternal mansion, and the daysof his youth;
and there the centre or attraction was his moth
er, whose care, instruction, and discipline, had
prepared him TO reach the topmost height of
laudable ambition; yet how were her elories
forgotten when he gazed upon her from whom,
wasted by time and malsdy, he must soon part
too meet no more
The malson's predictions were true The
disease which had so long preyed upon her
franc completed its triumph, and she expired

UNIVERSAL BENEvoLENCE.-The
law of benevolende applies to man
as man; that is, to man irrespective
of any of the temporary relations In
which he may stand to us. 1t makes
no matter whether he be of our kind
red or Of another, a fellow citizen or
an alien, or of our religion or of ano-
ther, it is enough that he is man !;
and this entities him, under the law of
God, to all the benefits of the law of
benevolence. Nay, in one sense, the
fewer the ties that bind him to us, the
more glorious is the act of goodness,
because it is under these circumstan-
ces that we can cherish the least hope
of reward; and the more evident will
be the proof our disinterestedness,-
1t would have been noble in Howard
to have visited the prisons Of England
alone, but it was more noble to extend
his inquiries to France, the national
enemy of England. 1t would have
been glorious to have died a martyr
to the cause of benevolence at home,
but how much more so was it, to die
In remote province of the Russian
empire, in town of which the exist
ence would scarcely be remembered
but for the fact that it witnessed his
last deeds of mercy, and guards his
sacred remains until the morning of
the resurrection.
Write your own epitaph when young
in as fattering terms assyou please;
and then let it be the business of your
life to deserve it.

Yelling is proceeding so rapidly well

and which is likely to prove great
national benefit, by reducing the ex-

ges of it are First, the condensing
the steam after it escapes frcm the
cylinders, and the water produced
thereby returned to the boiler to be
wrought over again and again, by
which means the boiler is rendered
more durable, being kept perfectly
free of incrustatlon or deposit OF any

engine of the burden of carrying a
supply along with it, Second-The

Correspondence Of the Herald

Close of the Session-IVaH street Ciigue-Crimi-
nal Court-Firs Department Seanlen's Retreat,
&c 8'c.
The Session has just terminated, and the members
OF both Houses, lobby and all, scattering in eve
ry direction. few sinister projects have been
struggled through the Legislature, and yast num-
Der have been exposed and rejected. The selfish
schemes o. certain clique in your city have caused
more diihcvty, dissension, and heart burning, than
an tSe great measures required by the interests Of
speak for the great wing party of the CITY, have
goaded and badgered Messrs. Tamadge and YER
planck INTO position, on frequent occasions, ad-
verse 10 their own feelings and of right and in
conflict with many o the judicious and sensi-
bic men ofthe party.
The influence of your Senators has been such
to ensure the success of the plans of the WALL
street cabai but others have been defeated or suf-
fered to die a natural death.
The bill for recognizing your Criminal Court,
was carried through at the very heel of the session
1t was resisted with great earnestness and energy
by yonr delegation in the House, and at last
modified - to remove some of its most odious fea-
lures Messrs. Merritt and Scoles to have
early in the session, and Mr.. Scoles was thrown
overheard at the last hour, to make for Ed
WARD SANFORD. This is esteemed to be a very
dexter0us performance, and perhaps il NAV prove
so. Mr.. Sanford is selected with view to
ciliafe the Conservatives; sect which have been
denomnated, somewhat acetiously TO be sure, ''the
lost tribe 3 and have doubt that this numerous
class, comprising many dozens of the most respect
able and piOus people, will be abundantly satisfied.
General James Lynch is the senior associate ON
the bench, and he is much better than Merritt
can well be imagined
So, every thing considered the reorganization OF
the court is not such terrible affair the locoocos
anticipated
The project for re- modelling the Seamen' Retreat.
has fallen through. Thus all Noah's plans for quar-
tering his employees and kindred the public, have
gone by the board.
The bill for revolutionizing the Fire Department,
has also failed.
The bill anendatoIy to the General Banking Law,
was crowded through to-day.
The Bank Commissioner, Mr.. Bates Cook, 10

but II he performs better in the Kennel than in
the Comptrollers office, the security Of the public
will not be increased.
The Historical Minister is to be appointed in
June The Governor is to turn the Court for the
correction Of Errors (Which commences its session
IN your city, the 9th of June) into Senate, and
several appointments will be made Mr.. Bradford,
OF Albany, who is now in Europe, is spoken of for
the Dutch Embassy. But the matter is in doubt vet.
