Am Incident.

A passenger who was on the ill-fated
steamer Henry Clay, relates the following
incident connected with that sad disaster ::
"He had been on the bow of the vessel,
and was one of the first to escape. Upon
reaching the shore, he counted twenty-three
persons who sank to rise no more. He
sickened at the sight, and was just turning
to leave the spot when he saw little boy
only years of age emerge from the smoke
and flame on the after part of the promen-
ade deck, kneel down and clasp his hands
as if in prayer. He renamed in this atti-
tude but moment, and then leaped into
the water. Our informant watched the lit
tie fellow as he went under the water, ex-
pecting not to see him again. Presently
the young hero rose to the surface, brush
ed aside his auburn ringlets, and struck out
manfully for the shore, which he reached
IN short time. Upon landing he sat down
upon the bank, cxclaiming, 'Oh, these poor
people | wish l could help them!' and
then burst into flood of tears at the awful
scene of suffering and death before him
What noble heart was in that boy, who,
so young, could not only ask deliverance
from danger of his heavenly Father, but
feel for The suferings of others. Does
it not also speak. volumes in the praise OF
the ,aother of that boy -

Gen. Pierce and the Catholics.

worthy of especial attention. and certainly
more sensible than some of the certificates
already got up.
But seriously, this Irish manifesto is too
contemplate. To say nothing of the fact,
which is fact, that many &, tits believed,a
majority Of these poor Irish Catholics, whose
names are appended to statements the truth
of which they know nothing, are unable to
read or write, the base outrage Of inducing
them to parade their names before the pub
lie in behalf Of Gen. Pierce, ought to dis
gust every decent man in the community.
It is bad enough to get up such lying doc
ument as the New Boston manifesto, sup
posed to be signed by men who can write
their names, and might be able to know
that they were certifying to lie. It is all
together insufferable and disgracefhl to 60

How Barnuln Purchased the New
York Museum.

In an essay which P. T. Barnum con-
tributed to Freedly's "Treatise OH Busi-
ness" he thus alludes to the purchase OF
the Museum:
"In I841 purchased the American Mu-
scum in New York without dollar, for |
was not worth dollar in the world. But
I was never disheartened; I always felt
that l could make money fast enough, if
only set my mind to it. remember meet
ing friend in Broadway few weeks be-
fore came IN possession of the Museum.
WELL, said /, 'Mr. A., am going to buy
the American Museum Buy it! said
he, for he knew I had no property; what
do you intend buying it with " Brass, re-
piled, for silver and gold I have none.'
''It was even so. Everybody who had
any connection with theatrical, circus or
exhibition business, from Edmund Slmp-
son, manager of the old Park Theatre, or
VIM. Niblo, down to the most humble pup
pet-showman of the day, knew me perfect
ly well. Mr.. Francis Olmsted, the own
er of the Museum building, (now deceased,)
noble, whole-souled man as one often
meets with. having consulted my referen-
ces who all concurred in telling him that |
was good Snowman, and would do as
agreed, accepted my proposition to give Sc
curity for me in the purchase of the Muse

wards the purchase, all the money receiv-

Gen. Cass at Tammany Hall.

The accounts of the great Democratic
mass meeting at Tammany Hall stated that
after Gen. Cass had been speaking while,
he proceeded deliberately to take off his
coat; in some minutes afterwards his era

waistcoat-when he gave his "breeches a

ed in that condition.
The General maintained that 1nterven-
ton was great principle of the American
Democracy and was very enthusiastic on the
docrine of Progress. Senator Douglass fol-
lowed Cass in one of his slang-whanging
speeches in which he went in strong for
the Cuban revolution, for paying Cuba and
annexing her; exalted the Democrats as a
party of progress, and udiculed the wings
for claiming that Washington's opinions
were good enough for them.-Rich. Rep,

Singular DeIUsiOns.

KossUTH KING OF AMERIcA.-Mr. Ken
dali, in his last letter from Paris to the New
Orleans Picayune, tells the following very
singular story:
81 will close this letter by mentioning
the fact that a most unaccountable whim, if
whim it can be called has recently entered
into the heads of the lower classes in Pos
en-, Galicia, and has even spread into some
parts of Bohemia and Hungary, if all ac-
counts be true. According to the papers,
you may have already seen the report,) it
would seem that story had got out, and
that it flew abroad with the greatest rapidi-
ty, to the effect that the richest of all the
Rothschilds was under sentence of death.
and that the only chance Of saving his life
was through the means Of a lottery. For
this purpose he offered what our lottery
ticket venders would call brilliant scheme,
the main features of which we're as fol-
lows His entire property was to be divid-
ed in sums of 5000 horins, and any and all
who chose to take q ticket in the lottery,
gratis, of course. would certainly draw that
amount in yellow gold, save one person on
ly In plain terms, every ticket placed in
an immense wheel except one had num-
Der upon it, and was to draw prize of g.
600 forms but the holder of the only
blank was to offer his head to the chopplng
knife instead Of Rothschild, who transfer
red the honor.
Notwithstanding the risk of drawing the
blank, it is positively asserted that the rush
for tickets to many Of the towns and villa
ges has been immense. The magistrates as
we'll as the military authorities have had
the greatest difficulty in convincing the
poor farmers and peasants that there is no
such lottery in existence, and thousands
have been sent away disappointed, because
they have been deprived of the chance Of
drawing 5000 forins at the triAing risk of
gracing an executioner's block. This is an
age of progress and advancement.
"In the same section where the above
strange excitement has prevailed, it is also
said that the idea obtains that Kossuth has
been proclaimed KING OF AMERICA, and that
he is shortly TO appear againin Europe al Me
head of an immense army. That such sto-
ry as this should get abroad is not as sin
gular, however,as the lottery scheme hoax,
for accounts of Kossuths first reception in
the States might lead lie masses of Europe
10 believe almost anything"

Gen. Scott and ,r. poIk's Cabinet:

GEN. PlERcE's OpINIoN.-A corresponds
ent of the Boston Atlas gives the following
account Of an interesting portion of Linus
Chlld's recent speech before the Lowell
Scott Club:
"He detailed the substance Of a convsr'
satioh with Ex-Governor Marcy, Mr.: Pufk's
Secretary of War, in which the hostility Of
Mr.. Polk and his entire Cabinet toward
Gen. Scott was freely acknowledged
When the administration Of Mr. Polk resolv!
ed upon conquerIng Mexico, and determine
ed to send an army into the heart of the
enemys country, by the way Of Vera Cruz.
it was also determined that General Scott
should not take the command Of the army.
The duty of recommending a suitable per-
son to assume that command properly de-
volved upon the Secretary Of War. Gov:
Marcy SAID he spent three weeks in cast.
ing his eyes over the country for d suitable
person for that responsible Command. Fl;
nally he informed the President tina: he
wished meeting Of the Cabinet called, for
the purpose Of taking that matter into con:
sideration, and also informed the President
of his purpose to recommend Gen. Scott for.
the post in question. At the meeting OF
the Cabinet, President Polk informed the
members that they had met to take into
consideration the very strange recommen-
dation of the Secretary of War. Gov. Mar
cy had prepared himselffor the emergency
and finally convinced the other members
of the Cabinet that no other man in the
country was fit to entrust with the COM
mand of the proposed expedition. And,
above all should the Administration entrust
its management to an inferior man, and it
should fail the democratic party would sure'
ly be swept from power: 1t was not stat
ed whether the prospect of party defeat,or
the certainty that the American army might:
be destroyed while under the command OF
partisan favorite, had the most to do in
inducing the Cabinet to consent to SCOTS
appointment:
MIR. Child also gave an account of a coni
versation with Gen. Pierce, after his return
from Mexico, in which Gen. Pierce. said
that on his way home he called at Washs
ington,and told President Polk that the Ad.
ministratlon had better get out Of their quar-
rel with Gen. Scott as soon as possible:
"The Whig cause is prospering, and the
very best feeling exists in the ranks Of the
party. Lowell is sure for from three to
five hundred majority for Scott and Gra'
ham:
