GEN. CAss. The Washington correspondent
OF the Boston Courier, speaks of Gen. Cass az
follows:
II Is not the least interesting subject of study
In washington, to look into those miuutian of char
acter, almost too intangible to be seized upon
which go to make up the estimate in which our
prominent men are held, by those who knowe
them best. 1t is far easier to ascertain what N
mans reputation is, than to know his Character
10 go no farther than this, there is certainly no
more questionable person in Washington than
Mr. Cass He's undoubtedly social, generous
man. Oh excellent powers. But if you want to
kho" where TO lind him on any subject think
you must follow the trail of self-interest He
mas none OF that frank manliness of party charac.
ter, even, which distinguishes Mr. Sewer of Ar
kansas, Tor example none of the self-reving
independence OF MI Calhoun; none of the gen.
erous, undertaking impulses of Mr. Hapneoan
or Mr. Crittenden. His independence and bold
ness are exhibited on calculation; his genero,e
impulses are restrained or prompted by motives
OF expectancy; at least, it so appears He tried
very hard on Saturday to satisfy his political asso
clates proper, and the friends of the Irish bill at
the same time, when the question came IN
whether the latter bill should be taken up. or
whether the Senate should proceed in its regular
business, by not voting at all on the question.
lie excused himself to Mr. Sewer as we'll as he
could, but the Chairman on Foreign Relations
received his explanations with a very bad grace,
and was evidently mad enough to take his head
on Whlie those who really desired to get through
the Irish Relief bill, broke out into hearty anah-
emas- Particularly was this the case with. red
headed gentleman in the reporters gallery, who
exclaimed in tone rather too audible, ssd-n
MS soul, that's the way he always serves US"
VINO us was, did not exactly appear. 1t might
have been the Irish interest, or it might have
been the partizan interest. The General is yery
apt to make mistakes or have n,isusderstondinrs
he has been cornered on several of them, and
this it is which makes him so chary OF answering
questions. At the time of his wellsknown reply
to Mr. Webster, { won't answer any questions
Mr. Reverdy johnson, who is always thorn in
his side, suggested to him, as an Improvement to
his reply, the well known saying-'Ask me no
questions, and III tell you no lies This was
rather broad, but regarded as a little too good
considering how unfortunate the Senator from
Michigan sometimes is at explanations

NOBLE Act. The Boston Post says, that on Mon.
day afternoon, two horses attached to coach upon run
ners, came dashng along full speed up the ferry wharf
from the Eastern Railroad Depot Several children at
the head of the wharf were in imminent peril of being
tramped under foot, when man started from among
those who looking to their own safety and placed
himself IN the road Immediately before the horses As
they dashed upon him at full speed, he seized one Of
them by the bride with such effect that he trpped IN
and rolled on the ground but the man was also thrown
down by the shock and the other horse continued pung
ing with such force that he drew the sleigh over the man
and then broke the shaft leaving the carriage still up
right on The runners. All danger over the crowd came
TO the rescue and secured the horses and picked up the
man, who was lying the ground, almost insensible,
with his body badly bruised and his clothes torn gen.
tleman and lady in the carriage, who sustained no
bodily injury, though they almost tainted with fear -
The man who did this noble act was Mr. Loring Moody.

sets Legislature, from town in Barnstabe county
and now agent OF the Massachusetts Anti Slavery So
Getty He was considerably injured and now confined

THE TALL GENTLEMAN's APOLOGY

Upbrald me not; never swore
Eternal love TO thee,
For thou art only four feet high,
And am six feet three;
wonder. dear, how GU supposed
That could look so low,
There's many one can tie knot,
Who cannot fix beau.
Besides, you must confess, my love,
The bargains scarcely fair,
For never could we make match
Although we made pair;
Marriage, know, makes one OF two,
But here's the horrid bore,
My friends declare, if you are one,
That |, at least, am -four.
IT'S true, the moraIis,s have said,
That love has got no eyes,
But why should all my slghs be heaved
For one who has no size
And on our wedding-day, Pm sure
I'd leave you in the lnrch;
For Jou never saw steeple, dear,
In the inside of church
IT'S usual for the wife TO take
Her husband by the arm,
But pray, excuse me, should hint
A sort Of fond alarm,
nat when offered yon my arm,
That happiness to beg.
Your highest effort. dear, would be
To take me by the leg.
Then fore thee well my gentle one,
ask no parting kiss,
must not break my back TO gain
So exquisite bliss;
Nor will weep, lest Should hurt
So defeats flower
The tears that fall frcm such height
Would be thunder shower
Farewell and pray don't drown yourself
In a basin or tub,
For that would be sore disgrace
TO all the Six Feet Club
But you ever love again
Love on smaller plan,
For why extend 10 six feet three
A life that's but span.

N. Y. Tribune says: "The enthusiastic recep-
ton which has been accorded to this speech
throughout the length and breadth of the Free
States is a cheering sign Of the times. We think
that not less than one hundred leading journals
have already published 1t entire, while ttcice as
many more have given extracts and spoken Of
the whole in terms OF hearty commendation We
trust 1t will have been read, wholly or in good
part, by notless than Half Million Of American
Freemen before the close Of March. 1t cannot
fail to make profound and lasting impression"
The National Intelligencer says Of it:
"We were charmed by the perusal Of it. 1t is
bold brave speech--its boldness being in its
truth, and its bravery In the courage with which
that truth was spoken. 1t is speech, which, in
our opinion, does equal honor to the talent and
manliness Of its author. Perhaps we like it all
the better, because we have not heard or read
any speech upon the subject Of this Mexican war
which comes nearer to those opinions which we
have ourselves, with no pretension to his power
Of impression, from time TO time endeayored 10
communicate to our readers"

Pleas, for Berkshire county, holding this week at
Lenox, were stolen from the Clerks desk on sun

places them; pretty effectual nolle prosegui

pay ga los or 1921 per barrel tor every barrel of
American flour which should be brought 10
England, with full liberty TO the importer to get
higher mercantile price il possible. The ba-
kers Of England were prohibited from selling
