PRovIxG A New CONFER Il was
once staying at Bath, about fifteen years
ago, ana, while there, became very
thick with the officers of an English
cavalry regiment One day, when !
dined at the mess, it so happened that
there was also present a young gentle
man, sud, who had joined that morn
ing. It was practice in many regi-
ments, in those days, l suppose need
not mention, when a sub joined, to take
the first opportunity of trying him, as
it was called-that is. trying his mettle.
In the present instance, the time fixed
was dinner. The youth was quiet and
well-bred, a little reserved, and appa-
Tently not quite at home. Doubts were
expressed whether he would show
pluck. When dinner was on the table,
and we were all assembled, the senior
officer present politely requested the
young stranger to take the office Of
vice and he, with equal politeness as
senting, seated himself at the bottom
Of the table A grim-looking country
man of mine, the major of the regiment,
jovial redfaced off-hand sort Of per-
sonage, full of whiskey and waggery,
was the individual appointed to make
the customary trial, and took his seat at
table to the vice-presidenfs left. Soup
and fish removed, an attendant placed
before the young gentleman a boiled
leg Of mutton. Presently the major.
addrcnging him said. "Tll thank YOU
for BIT Of that veal.v II beg your
pardon said Mr.. Vice III rather think
ifs mutton, not veal: shall ! have the
pleasure Of helping youw The major
made no reply. Presently the major
began again III thank you for bit
of that veal.n al tell you,D said the
sub, it's not veal; it's mutton. Snail
II give you somew ~ Again the major
wss silent After pause, the major
renewed the attack: "rll thank you
for bit Of that veal.n aPll soon let
you know whether it's veal or mutton" !"
said tho newly-arrived, jumping up.
Then, with one hand seizing ihe leg Of
mutton BY the knuckle, with the other
the major by the collar, and welding
the gigot Ike club, he banged it
about the majors seonce till the COM
pany interposed The major, fairly
bested with half-raw gravy, and drip
ping With csper-sauce, flung up both
his arms above his head, in an ecstasy
Of delight and, exultingly waving his
hands, exclaimed at the top of his voice,
q He'll do ! he'll dom -

The SAILOR IN TRouBLE.-The beat
of whaler was once knocked several
feet in the air by blow of the tail of
a fish to which it was fast. Upon coming
down, the steersman fell into the whales
mouth, and the teeth of the animal
closed upon his leg. After being in this
terrible position for some time, he was
released, picked up by another boat,
and carried on board, where, while pre-
paration were made to amputate his
crushed limb, he was asked what he
" thought of while in the mouth of the
whale w With the utmost simplicity
he replied, "Why, thought she would
yield about sixty barrelsn %

10 A gentleman Of Paris, when he
had considerable company to dine,
would not let his son, about six years OF
age, sit at the table with him, saying,
!" The boys beard is too short" The
boy took a seat at side table, when a
large cat tried to take away his food,
whereupon he exclaimed "Go eat
with my father; your beard is long
enough.n

THE CONSTITUTION OF MARYLAND.

On Thursday last the Senate of Maryland pass
the bill, which had previously passed the House Of
Delegates, proposing to ascertain the sense of the
People Of that State to the expediency of calling
Convention to revise their Constitution and frame
of Government. The bill has thus become law,
and the people are required to vote the question
on the second Wednesday in May next If a ma
joriy of them shall determine in favor Of the mea-
sure the Governor is directed to order an election 10
be held on the first Wednesday of September next
for Delegates to the Convention, who are to assem-
at Annapolis on the FIRST Monday in November, to
discharge the duties eonided to them; and such
form of Constitution as they may adopt is to be
submitted for approval rejection by the People OF
the State on the first Wednesday in June, 1851.
So guarded we do not see any reason to question
the wisdom of the measure. But, taking time by
the forelock, we adjure our friends in Maryland
never to suffer any amendment, or rather any
change in the Constitution. which shall include a
Judiciary subjected to periodical popular election.

uaIE ADMINISTRATION.

In the short time that has elapsed since the Ad
ministration of General TAYLOR held the reins o
Government, .fsays the Boston Daily Advertiser,
the People have repeatedly had occasion to con
gratulate themselves upon the manner in which the
Foreign policy of the country has been conducted
Under the guidance of this Government we have
avoided quarrels, and secured peace upon advan.
tageous terms The next step is 10 make peace
with those of our neighbors who are in our hands
so far as power is concerned-but, ,whe are neither
our subjects nor our renemies-we mean the Indians.
In Florida the new Administration found some OF
these exasperated against the Government, and
active in attempting, by violent means, to procure
their supposed rights. IT has snbdued and quieted
them, and thus added new boon Of peace and re-
pose to the Republic.
On this subject the Baltimore American says:
!. The policy of President TAYLOR in removing
. the Indians from Florida by peaceful means de-
serves the hearty appreciation of the country. 1t
twas easy enough to have provoked "a war with
: those savages-a war of swamp lighting, ambus-
/. cades, and slaughter, involving the expenditure
Of millions Of dollars. THE astFlorida war, which
continued for five or six years, and was terminated
: in ls4l, did not probably cost less than thirty
]. millions. The sacrifice oflife was great, and the
!. hardships of the successive campaigns in the
Everglades were of the severest and most trying
: kind.
seen. TAYLOR served in that war. He knew
I the nature of the country and the character
of the Indians, and doubtless dreaded the contin-
gency of another war. by the arrangement re-
Gently concluded under the management of General
Z TwIass, the whole Indian population is to be
: peacefully removed from Florida, at an expense
to the Government not exceeding 1926, ,000--a
sum which would not suffice for the outfit and pay
: Of a regiment for one campaign.
a We repeat that the PRESIDENT, by this pacific
policy, has rendered service to the country
: worthy of its most cordial approval A good is
) always achieved by the avoidance of an evil. It
may be that the result of such wise forbearance
: and ciroumspect sagacity may not show forth with
brilliancy--but the patriotic and the observant
know how to appreciate it,"

The New York " Commercial is in error when
it throws out the intimation that the dissatisfied
spirit of the South is pretty much concentrated at
the Capitol in Washington, and that, if it exists
elsewhere to any extent it exists in state of very
considerable diffuson"-in error, we mean, if it
would seek TO produce the impression at the North
that there is no need for the uraists in that
ton to cease their present course and agitation.
We admit, and zoe are glad Of Il, that The Politi-
clans are AHEAD Of the people. This will prevent
the politicians from pushing their intentions beyond
what the people will permit But the North ought
to know and to be informed that there is throughout
the South very concentrated" and deep feeling
on the subject in question: and that there is great
danger in urging matters any further. The Con-
servative Union Republican party at the South are
doing all they can to allay excitement and TO re.
strain evil action. They will not weary in well
doing. But they hope to see corresponding ac
ton on the part of the friends Of the Union at the
North. The South must not be driven to the wal
by the fanatcism of Northern dsturbers. Let the
| friends of the UNION now unite to do justice anC
to save the country.-.4ieT. Gazette.
