Robert Tyler has Just brought into the Senate
the appointments of
Chancellor WALwoRrH to the Supreme Court
JOHN Y. Mason, Secretary Of the Navy.
The latter has accepted the nomination.
Calhoun's best friends here, are uncertain whe-
Their he will accept or not. The balance Of proba-
bilities is, that he will Should he come on here
before deciding the question, look round, and see
what pledges, if any are required of him, it is
thought he would accept. A letter from leading
wing at the north, has just been received here,
strongly urging the acceptance

The wings undoubtedly believe Calhoun, from
his high, independent spirit will be less exception
able than many others. And they may hope, IN
some way to turn the appointment to good ac-
count tor themselves, and to the disadvantage OF
Mr. Calhoun.

WASHINGTON, Marca 49, 1874.
After short discussion to-day upon the Fox and
Wisconsin River Bill-whch, by the by, has be-
come an awful bore-the Senate went into Execu-
tive session, where nothing Idone but to refer
the nominations of Chancellor Waworth and John
Y Mason to the appropriate committees.
OF Chancellor Waworth's appointment | need
say nothing.
OF John Y Mason we know but little. He is a
young man-at present Judge of the U. S. Dis
trct Cortland was in Congress from 1881 to 1887
| from Virginia. He is very highly spoken of. He
has accepted his appointment, and it is presumed he
will be confirmed, Of course the appointment of
so many persons to high Offices from Virginia gives
| rise to some anmadverslon.

FRENCH COURTsEAIPS.

A husband and wife have a son, one-and-twen-
ty or two-and twenty years of age, whom they
wish to see suitably married. Another husband
and wife have daughter, somewhat younger,
whom they also wish to see '!settled in life.''-
The former mention to some friend that they wish
to see their son married, naming the sum they
mean to give him as his portion, and intimating
that they will be happy if their friend should be
able, in few weeks, 10 tell them ofany friend OF
his who has daughter whom he wishes to see

The friend of the family, i'll either case, thenruns
lies in the same station in life, with whom she is

some father who is willing to give his daughter
the same amount as his friends are willing tc
give with their son. He commences the
negotiation by remarkiug, 81 have friend
who has son, aged so-and-so, who wishes to see
him married, and is willing to give him certain

may be; think if you are disposed to give &
similar fortune with your daughter, that very
suitable and mutually advantageous match nigh

which is almost invariably the case, it is mmed
ately arranged that the parents of the two young
persons, and the young persons themselves shal
meet some early evening at the house of some
friend, in order that the young gentleman ant
lady may see how they like each other, before
any other steps are taken in the matter. The,
are both informed Of the object for which they
are TO meet, and are asked to endeavor to make
themselves as agreeable as possible. They ac

Anecaote Of steele the ReDeaIer.

Tom Steele, one of the convicted Repealers
The circumstances related took place before the
late trial
This well known individual, who is one of
the traversers in the O'Connel trial, is bent up
on the glory of martyrdom with O'Connel, and
nothing will win him 'out of that There is a
capital story about him and the Attorney Gen
eral going the rounds of the four Courts, which
is as follows:
On one ofthe mornings of the trial, Steele was
followed close upon the heels of the Attorney
General, and asking him some question, at the
verge of the entrance to the Court of Queens
Bench

willing to commit any breach of decorum in his
place, rushed out of the court house, and threw
himself on the grass, in the most violent parox-
ysm of laughter, where he was rolling, when
Hook, with every different feelings, came out for
relief into the yard also--'Jemmy Steptoe," said
he TO the Clerk, "what the devil ails ye, mon9"
Mr.. Steptoe was only able to say that he could
not help it. "Never mind yes" said Hook: ''wait
till Bnley Cowan gets up; he'll show him the lap
Mr.. Cowan, however, was so completely over
whelmed by the torrent which bore upon his
client, that, when he rose to reply to Mr.. Henry,
he was scarcely able to make an ineligible or
audible remark. The cause was decided almost
by acclamation. The jury retired for forms sake
and instantly returned with verdict for the de-
fendant. Nor did the effect of Mr.. Henry's speech
stop here. The people were so highly excited
by the tory audacity Of such suit, that Hook be-
gan to hear around him cry more terrible than
that of beef; it was the cry of tar and feathers
from the application of which it is said, that moth
ing saved him but precipitate fightan the speed
of his horse.

Treatment of Ma polcon at St. Helena

From the strict surveillance exercised over
the Emperor for the Inconvenience suffered by
his suite, were, on many occasions, extremely an

My sister and were constantly in the habit OF
staying with Madame Bertrand, who kindly vol
unteered during our long visits to her, to super
intend my duties. Upon one occasion, at her
request, attempted TO sing little French ro-
nance, composed by Hortense Beauhomois,
daughter to the Empress Josephine, entitled,
"Le Depart des Stryens."-This song was sent
to her, on the preceding evening, by Napoleon,
who was anxious to hear it, and intimated that
he would come for that purpose. He came ac-
cordingly to promise, but was not only disappoin-
ted but was angry at the discordant sounds which
issued from piano which from damp and disuse,
had acquired tones very like those of broken
hurdy-gurdy. The only person in the island ca
pable of remedying the instrument in question
was Mr.. Guinnes, bank master on board the Gen
eral Kidd, then laying at st. James harbor. Mr.
Guinnes, who at the request of the countess
was summoned by my father for the purpose, was
on the point ofleaying the side ofthe ship when
an order from the Governor desired him to stay
where he was. Napoleon expressed wish 10

MISCELLAN EOUS.
Eloquence y HIumor OF Patriclk Henry.

E1OGUeNCC az HASkkfROF O1 EaGGFACR& EAcMrys
Hook was a Scotchman, man of wealth, and
suspected of being unfriendly to the American
cause. During the distresses of the American
army, consequent ou the joint invasion of Corn
wallis and Phillips in 1881, Venable, an army
commissary, had taken two of Hooks steers for
the use Of the troops The act had not not been
strictly legal and on the establishment of peace,
Hook, on the advice of Mr.. Crowan, gentleman
of some distinction in the law, thought proper to
bring an action of trespass against Mr.. Venable,
in the district court of New London. Mr. Hen
ry appeared for the defendant, and is said to have
deported himself in this cause to the infinite en-
Joyment OF his hearers, the unfortunate Hook al
ways excepted. After Mr. Henry became ami
mated in the cause, says a correspondent, he ap-
peared to have complete control over the pas
sons of his audience; at one time he excited
their Indignation against Hook; vengeance was
visible in every countenance; again, when he
chose to relax, and ridicule him, the whole au.
dience was in roar of laughter. He painted
the distresses Of the American army, exposed al
most naked, to the rigours of winters sky, and
marking the frozen ground over which hthey trod
with the blood Of oftheirunshod feet. Where was
the man, he said, who had an American heart in

American beats in his bosom, you, gentlemen

powers Of his imagination to the plains around
York, the surrender (which had followed short
ly after the act complained of; he depicted the
surrender in the most noble and glowing colors
of his eloquence-the audience saw before theiI
eyes the humiliations and detection Of the Brit
ish as they marched out of their trenches-the,

face, and the cry Of washington and Liberty,'

ALCABIADEs AND CLAY.

Acabiades, the famous Athenian General, was
in many respects like Henry Clay, the federal
candidate for the Presidency. He wasall things
to all men, and cameleon-like, could change his
character and appearance to suit those in whose
company he happened for the time being. With
some he had all the graces and vivacity of the
gayest youth, and with others ali the gaiety of
old age In Sparta, he was laborious, frugal and
austere, and eat the coarse and heavy cakes,
which were their usual food, and would be well
satisfied with black broth. In Iona, enjoyment,
idleness and pleasure, made up his whole life
In Thrace, he was always on horseback, or ca
rousing; and when he resided with Tissaphernes,
the satrap, he exceeded all the magnifcence of
the Pelsans in luxury and profusion.
So with Mr.. Clay ;-In the west, he processes
to be the friend Of the farmer and aborng man,
and pretends to have superabundance Of love
for log cabins and their tenants. In the North
and East, he is for high Protective Tariff, and
the exclusive friend of the Manufacturers and
their interests. In the south, he is free trade
man, and declares that there is now no necessity
for Protective Tariff In the House of Repre-
sentatiyes he said TO Speaker Polk, s'go home,
Cd d--n you, where you belong" Alta
social party in Washington, he played at brag,
with Lord Ashburton; and recently he presided as
moderator at religious discussion in Kentucky.
At one time he denounced the Administration of
General Jackson as the greatest curse that ever
befel the American people-and sold himselfand
his interest to John Quincy Adams, for the pur-
pose of defeating the old Hero's election Re-
Gently, while in New Orleans, he joined in eel
ebraton of the 9Th of January. At one time he
elequenny opposed United States bank-and in
fact, the best speeches he ever delivered were
those on that subject. He now appears to think
that the salvation of the country depends upon
the incorporation of National Bank, with a cap
| ita of fifty million of dollars. But where is the
use of pursuing the parallel further, OF pointing
out the gross inconsistencies of the federal can
didate for the Presidency? He is the "armer
Of Ashland"-the "ATill boy of the slashos," and
raises Durham catlc-thm's onoughto elect him
-isn't il?
