The Judge and the Mo,cman -
A correspondent OF the Boston Post
gives Us this good story:
AT a small country town where the
court was in session, Judge Battle pre-
siding, circus was advertised TO per-
form; and on the morning Of opening
the court the streets were filled with
the circus company with their band Of
music, and the din thereof was SO great
as seriously TO disturb the court. The
Judge stopped proceedings, and says,
"Mr. Sheriff, just 90 out and invite
the captain of that company to come
into the court house for few mo.
ments." The sheriff went out, and in
few minutes returned with his guest
His honor turned TO The Snowman, and
says, "can you tell me the meaning Of
all the toofi2g that we hear around
this housei" But the superintendent
Of the "ground and lofty tumbling"
did not choose t. put himself to the
trouble TO answer the judges questions
very satisfactorily, and was for his
"contempt' ordered into "durance
vile" "Mr. Sheriff, just conduct this
man to The Jail, give him comfortable
quarters and good fare, till he has
grown cool.
The command was obcycd, and the
captain was kept for twenty-four hours,
and the next morning wss ordered be-
fore the Judge again.
"Well, sir" says bis honor, "arc
you cook2" ayes, sir, think -
"Do you think you are perfectly p'-
81 believe / be-" sWell, sir, then
please notice that the Judge Of tho
Cumberland county court desires no
more t0otipg on those brass horns of
yours.'' Yes, sir" "And bear in
mind that this is Judge Battle that
tells you this. II you should ever
come near his residence Mister Will
liam b. Battle would be glad 10 see
you and hear some Of your music; but
Lhe "Judge" does not like to Be in
teirupted while in the discharge OF his
duty. Sir, wish you good morning"
The captain Of the "brass things babe
his honor a 'rery good morning." and
he was careful, after he mounted his
horse, to suppress all footing till he
got outside Of Cumberland county.

The CLAW men not ali Dead!

A meeting of the friends of Mr.. Clay recently
held in New York, and is thus noticed by the Eve
ming Post. Jo L. White it seems is little more
consistent than most of his quondam friends in this
State. We like his spunk but say nothing of his
discretion:
The CLAY DINNER.-A dinner was given yester-
day at the Apollo Saloon in this city, by the friends
Of Henry Clay, in honor of that genteman's seven
tieth birthday. There much eulogy of the Ken
lucky statesman in the various speeches which were
delivered on the occasion. Joseph L. White, late of
Indiana, clever speaker, made the principal ad-
dress which was interrupted with applauses and
minated in storm Of them. considerable part of
his speech referred to the subject of the next trial for
the Presidency of The United States. We give one
or two passages
"Whom are we to have for our leader in 1913 but
him who led US in 1874! Tremendous applause. ]
know that there those in the wing party who,
for the purpose of testying their regard for the mill
tary achievements of distinguished general in the
fields of Mexico, have already placed him in nomna-
ton for the presidency In 1913, upon the ground of
expediency. Now | propose, as whig-as wing
having some regard for the constitution of my coun-
try only in its letter, but its spirit and profess

were cherished in 1923, and again in 1882, when
that wing party of ours, standing upon the high
ground of principle, and discardng all preferences for
men, looking far into the future, with an eye not only
TO the interests of that generation, but posterity
which was to come after them and to whom they de-
sired to transmit unimpaired that rich inheritance Of
substantial glory which their revolutionary fathers
had bcqueathed to them; warned their fellow
trymen against the elevation of military chiefain

public through the Sentinel of the fact that there
is company now organized for the purpose Of con-
structing Railroad from Knightstown, Henry county,

Sprague and the cost estimated at one hundred and
ten thousand dollars. Distance % miles. II will
pass Immediately down Blue river, through Carthage,
Morrisiown, &c. The portion OF country through
which it passes is not surpassed in point Of product
iveness or manufacturing facilities in the West.
Once completed. it will add greatly TO the quantity Of
freight on the Madison and indianapolis Railroad.

there is road nearly graded, and on which the tim

about $50 600 stock taken. They have ordered an
election for directors on the 18th of May. So that
it is tolerably certain that the road will be made.

ANOTHER OFFER OF PEAcE-A correspondent of
the Journal of Commerce, writing from Washington
under date of April 10Th, states that proposition
for peace has been to Mexico with the following
conditions:
The new offer of terms Of peace was despatched
from this government 10 Mexico on Saturday morning
last. The offer less stringent regards Mexico
than the previous offer made through Mr.. AtOcha.
have reason to believe that this is the understanding
by government of the character of the offer.
But in what respect the terms made favora-
bic to Mexico, am at loss to conjecture 1t might
be supposed that IN being made more favorable, 1t
would demand less territory from Mexico than the
late offer. But have grounds for believing that this
is not tue case. The offer proposes, as / believe,
line drawn due west to the Pacific from the mouth of
the Rio Grande-that is to say-the parallel Of %.
/ confident that sine qua non, also
propose TO retain possession of all the Mexican ports
and revenues on the Pacific and the Gulf until every
stipulation of the treaty has been fulfilled by Mexico
The country which we thus propose permanently TO
acquire, embraces Coahuila Chihuahua, Sonora, New
Mexico, and the CALIFORNIA;, with population of
about half million of souls, and an area Of more
than one million of square miles-an about
twenty times greater than the whole of the State of
Maryland.
The sum of money offered in payment of this COM
pulsory purchase may perhaps have been increased
from fifteen to twenty millions, yielding our demand

OtrGeneral Taylor has obtained quite as much
popularity through merits of his official despatch
e., as he has by his success as General,-perhaps
for he has had the whole credit for the admirable
style of those dispatches while others share largely in
the ordinary honors of the battle fields No one if we
except the Louisville Journal has yet attempted
divest Gen. Taylor of the literary eclat generally
accorded 70 him. In the following paragraph, how
ever, the Journal evidently seeks to convey the i'm
preston that Gen. Taylor is largely indebted in this
respect to one of his staff, Major Bliss.
MAJOR w w s. BL1ss-This officer whose
name is favorably known the Union, is a
native of New Hampshire, and he graduated at West
Point in July, 1888, with considerable distinction
In 1884, during the Indian troubles he was ordered
to Fort Mitchell, Ala, but shortly afterwards he re-
turned to West Point where he remained until 1910,
dscharging the duties of assistant professor of mah
ematics, for which he was eminenty qualified. Hav-
ing been appointed in 1889 assistant aduant general
he attached to the staff Of General TAYLOR then
stationed upon the Arkansas frontier In that
city, he has since acted, rendering the most laborious
and important services, and enjoying the unreserved
confidence Of the General. His gallantry in all the
late battles III Mexico has especially sgnalized his
name and entitled him to the gratitude of his coun-
try. But although he has been thus highly distin-
guished in action, Major Bliss is chiefly regarded in
the army account Of his literary attachments, being
one of the best writer's of the day, and a finished
German, French, and Spanish scholar. Thus gifted
and IN the prime Of life, he is in all probability des
tined for yet brighter honOrs. He who was but a
poor orphan boy when he enteredthe military acade
my. and who is now, if we mistake not, without a
single relative in the world, may become one of the
most honored Of our countrymen.

From MEXICO Win Hayana.

A fuller review of our Havana papers received by
the bark Catherine and St. Mary gives the following
information
The British mail steamer Tay had arrived at Ha-
vana. She furnished the Havana editors with their
correspondence from the City of Mexico to the 3ls
ult. From this we learn that the news of the sur
render of Vera Cruz had reached the Capital and,
though any other result could have been anticipated
it seems to astonish Santa Anna. He Immediately
issued proclamation, surcharged with the usua
appeals to the patriotism of Mexicans, and the ac
customed threats of vengeance the "perfdious
Yankees" He despatched two Brgades of Infantry
one of Cavalry, with corresponding batteries, ant
two thousand men, to join Gen. La Vega, who, witt
the Governor of the Department of Vera Cruz, was
with some force at the Fuente National.
