Ansosote OF the promgcr.

The hard pressure for appointments 10 ofhoe
under the new administration at Washizg.sr.
gives rise TO some amusing incidents. The foI
lowing is told us of the Secretary Of State
ftAmong the host OF besigers in tie pursuit
of place, was woman who was extremely anx-
ious that her husband should be made postmas-
ter in some country village. She was most rer-
severing in her solicitations, in season and cat
Of season. She stood at the Secretary's docz,
when he came out of his room in the morning
she intercepted him On his way to his meais !:
she followed him TO his lodgings at night.
na one occasion sbe rem ngirad there nnususIlv
late the Governor listened to her as long as he
could, when he requested her TO excuse him, but
she fingered. At length every gentleman but
one had gone, and the Secretary took of his
shoes. Still she stood her ground quite unmos
cd. Growing desperate, the Secretary finally
rose from his seat, and proceeded TO strip OF
his coat then, turning TO the woman, he cx-
claimed: Madam, am going TO bed, and IL
you don't withdraw, shall write TO Mrs Marcy
about you" The lady immediately retired
from the room.

Transactions of the Rothschilds.

recent writer gives some interesting partic-
ulars upon this subject -
''In twelve years about five hundred million
dollars were raised by the house for different
powers, by way of loan or subsidy, which were
distributed in nearly the following proportions
For England, two hundred millions for Aus
tria, fifty millions; for Prussia, forty millions
for France, eighty millions; for Naples fifty
millions for Russia, twenty-five millions for
several German courts, four millions for Bra
zil, twelve millions exclusive of various other
large sums. The remarkable success Of the
Rothschilds, setting aside the great opportuni-
ties which they have enjoyed from favourable
circumstances, may be attributed to their strict
adherence to two fundamental maxims. The
first Of these, in compliance with the dying in
functions of the founder of the house is the con-
Quoting all their operations entirely in common.
Every proposition of magnitude made to one of
them is submitted to the deliberations of all
No project is adopted until thus fully discussed,
and it is then executed by united efforts. A Sc
cond principal is, not to aim at exorbitant pro-
fits, to set definite limits to every operation and
far as human prudence and foresight can do,
to render it independent of accidental influen-
In this maxim lies one of the main secrets
of their strength"

What Constitutes a aTeami

Iu the superior Court of New York (city)
case has recently been tried involving the ques-
ton of-what constitutes team! The statues
of New York exempt team of the value of
$3.50 fro N SALE on execution FOR debt In this
case a horse and cart had been SOLD. The car
man prosecutes for the recovery of the value
and sets up, as the ground of action, that the
horse and cart came within the intent of the
law exempting a team. The answer to this
was, that one horse and cart was not a team
and Webster's unabridged was appealed to for
a definition. which he gives as 1.-TWO or more
horses, oxen, or beasts, harnessed together to
the same vehicle, &c" After hearing the
learned arguments on the subject Judge Bos-
worth ION consultation with all the other rjudgesl
rendered an opinion sustaining the applicability
of the law to o horse and cart, by viii b a man
gets his living, as evidently within the intent
Of the law.-PhH. RcgistSr

A Paragraph on Bricks.


''Ion,'' who writes from Washington city for
the Baltimore San, says:
''The work on the Capitol enlargement will
now be prosecuted with vigor, all obstacles to it
being remos sed The contracts for the materi-
ais cannot be a subject of complaint The bricks
are to be furnished at rate a third less than
the market price, though the contractor has nei-
ther the advantage Of experience in brick

clay his own fuel. But he has rented
brick yards at five hundred dollars q month,
and, under all disadvantages, is to render this
city the real service of reducing the price of
brick some thirty or forty per cent. The
tractor must recoflect that a printing contract
and a.brick contra&t are two different things,
and that; though hetcnn claim remuneration for

many attempts to improve the process, especial

economy of manual labor, have hitherto failed

Gently been made in New York, 10 such ex-
tent that a company with capital of half mil

bricks on Staten Island, for local supply and
expectation. Such is the tendency of our peo-

the brick making art must undergo, ere long, a
substantial Improvement"
