Ma. Clay AND THE GoAT.-The Balti-
more Enterprise tells the following ludi-
erous story. Imagine the sage of Ashland
sontending with goat:
Almost every body in Washington city
remembers an old he goat which formerly
inhabited MAYORS livery on Pennsylvania
Avenue. The animal was in all probabili-
ty the most independent citizen of the me-
tropolis-he belonged to no party, though
he frequently gave passengers striking
proofs Of his adhesion to the LeUelling prin-
ciple; for whenever person stopped any
where in his vicinage, Billy was sure to
make at him, horns and all. The boys
took delight in irritating this long-beard
cd gentleman, and frequently so annoyed
him that he would make war against lamp
posts and trees to their great amusement.
One day, the luminary of the west, Hen
~ Clay, was passing along the Avenue,
and seeing the boys intent in worrying Bill
ly into fever, stopped, and with his char
acteristic humanity, expostulated with them
on their cruelty. The boys listened in 81
lent to the eloquent appeal of the great
statesman, but it was all Cheokee to Billy,
Who, the ungrateful scamp! arose majes-
tically on his hind legs, and made desPer-
ate plunge at his friend and advocate. Mr.
Clay proved himself too much for this horn.
ed assailant; he seized hold of both horns
Of the dilemma, and then swas the tug Of
WARRIOR Greek had met Greek. The
struggle was long and doubtful.
tHahr exclaimed the statesman, q have
got you fast, you rascal! I'll teach you
better manners. But boys,' continued he
turning to the laughing urchins, 'what shall
do now?'
why, trip up his feet, Mr.. Clay,' said
they. Mr.. Clay did as he was told, and af-
ter many severe efforts, brought Billy down
IN his side. Aere he looked at the boys
imploringly, seeming to say
u never was in such fix before
The combatants were nearly exhausted;
goaty had the advantage, for he was gain
ing breath all the while that the statesman
was losing it.
Buys exclaimed he, putting and blow
ing, sthis is rather an awkward business
What am to do now?'
'Why. don't you know2' said little fel-

TOBACCO.--The New York Herald
of the 18th inst, in speaking of French af.
fairs, uses the following language in regard
to our great staple, tobacco: "We learn
that there is large quantity of tobacco in
this market ready for shipment to Havre
and other French ports, Immediately upon
the removal of the restrictions, which is
expected OF the new government. The
monopoly which has so long existed in
Franco relative to this staple, has had an
injurious effect upon the trade; and in the
event of the trade being thrown open, the
influence upon other governments of Eu-
rope may be of the most favorable charac-
ter. The resources of France, whichhave
been checked by the restrictive policy of
former governments, will, under more lib
'rsl commercial system, be most rapidly
developed, and we have no doubt our COM
msrce With that country will increase and
become at once more productive"

The action of DR.. Storms Scotch Cough Cam
dy differs very materially from any other COM
pound ever invented II not only allays Bron.
chial Irritation, but operating as a very mild
purge, it keeps the stomach and bowels in a
healthy condition, leaving the patient an appetite
which few other Cough Mixtures could impart.
We have no disposition to injure the inventor
of any particular medicine, but in justice to the
world, We will give it as our honest opinion,
formed by the observations Of eleven years in
the school Of medicine, that large and frequent
draughts of nauseous liguid--- Compounds takea
into the stomach from time 10 time---nrust hare a
tendency to destroy the healthy tone Of that pital
organ Of the human system.
No such objection can be urged against the Use
of this valuable Medicated Candy, for Sugar is a.
greeable both to the palate and stomach, and we
honestly believe that this preparation will do all
that medicine can do towards the relief of per-
sons suffering with Colds, Coughs, Bronchitis.
sthma, Bleeding Of the Lungs, Pain in the Side
and Breast, Difficulty of Breathing, Hoarseness, ,
and all other symptoms of Consumption.

1Ae Csrroration--Thsir PEomised Reforms
We have already taken occasion to notice the
conduct of the present Common Council, and
their scaadaous reputation of the doctrine of
reform aud economy which they so impudently
and unblushingly thrust forward upon their ban
ners in the spring of ls47-and as impudently,
aud scandalously, and shamefully neglected to
perform, during their year Of office; but the day
of reckoning is at hand, and with the excite
ment now prevailing, they are called up for
judgment before the people. Mayor Brady, in
his inaugural address last spring, gave these
worthless a proper cue to move in this bust
ness, and commented, with much earnest
ness, on the necessity for economy in the public
expenditures Of the city government. He told
them the actual condition of the finances of the
city, and dwelt in particular upon the enormous
and extravagant expenditure for printing and
stationery, which doubtless must have been IN
serted in Mayor Brady's address at the sugges-
ton of the veritable Alderman McElrath-the
Fourierits Alderman McElrath-the pious Alder
man McElrath-whose indignation at The cele-
brated soil contracts" had been at one time 20
much aroused. In looking over the Comptroller's
report tor the year ls47, we find q variety Of
matter, which shows the game of political hum
bug that has been played, which surpasses, in
point Of imposition and outrageous extravagance,
any bare-facsd thing Of tho kind ever before held
out before the people. Let Us understand the

California claims; in the course of which Mr..
Benton strenuously urged the passage of the bill.
message was received from the President,
transmitting the number of killed and wounded,
and those who have died of disease during the
war with Mexico. In the House, after the usual
routine OF business, the joint resolutions con-
gratulatory to France were taken up and and de-
cided In the affirmative, there being only two
dissenting voices.
In Philadelphia, it will be seen a demonstra-
ton has been made in favor of oppressed Ire
land, &c. In our State Legislature, as the SEES
sion approaches Its close, more than usual &C
ivity in the final passage Of bills prevails. Mar.
