AKECDoTE OF GEN. ScoTTs-Soon after
the late Presidential election, Mr.. Heal
ey, the artist, waited upon Gen. Scott,
aud solicited him 10 sit for his portrnt.-
He was not chary Of expressions of his
own admiration for the fame and talents
of the old veteran, and conpiInented him
highly. The General heard him out,
quietly, then turning to him said: "Sir,
have had my portrait painted many times,
and have even submitted two or three
times to the very unpleasant process Of
having my hu>t taken; but," said he,
srrai2htrnlng up, "sir, have made ul

The PREsiDENrIAL ForE.-In several
papers we see statements of the populat
vote cast at the several Presidential eIec-
tionS, and we find that they material y
differ, aud most of them are Incorrect. -
The majority for Pierce over Scott, is sci
down ut about 207 900, and over Scott
amt Hale, at about $4,000, which will
turn out to be very nearly correct. The
majority for Jackson, in 1928, however
is set down at l39, ,4G8, when it should be
only llS,s04; and in 1892, at 1873, 1886,
when it shou d be S78,C56 over Clay, and
l2S, ,936 over clay and Writ. 1t will thus
be seen that Gen. Jackson had-allowing
Pierce'S majority over Scott, to be 2O7,.

and nearly 10000 more over both his

THoucHr. private dinner at the
As'or House, in New York, some years
ago, at which Mr.. Webster was particu-
larly sombre, and appeared care-worn
from travel, having just Arrived on his
way to Washington, he was asked, with
view to stir him up and bring him out, by
one of the most distinguished guests pre-
sent, what was the most important thought
that ever occupied his mind.
Mr.. Webster slowly passed his hand
over his fdrehead and in low tone said
to ffleiid near him, "Is there any one
here who does not know me?" ."No, sir,
they all know you-are all your friends. 1"
Then he looked over the table, and you
may well imagine how the tones Of his
voice would be upon such an occasion,
giving answer to such a question. ''1he
most important thought that ever occupied
my mind" said he, "sc rs that of my in
diuidual responsibility to Godr'
Which, Tor twenty minutes, he spoke to
them there, and when he had finished
he got up from the table aud retired to
his room, and they, without word, went
into on adjoining par,or, and when they
had gathered there some of them ex-
claimed, "Whd ever heard anything like
that?" What Mr.. Webster said in adj

Coon MANNERs.-lf your ambition ia
to be a well-bred lady, you must carry
your good manners every where with toti.
These are not things that can be laid aside
and put on at pleasure. True poIteness
Is uniform disintercstedness in trifes, ac-
conlpanled 10y the calm self possession
which belongs to a noble simplicity of
purpose; and this must be the effect of
a Christian spirit running through all
you think, say or do; and unless you Gu :
uvate and exercise it upon all occasions,
and toward ali persons, it wi never be-
come a part of yourself. When you try
to ASSUME it for some special purpose, il
will sit awkwardly upon you, and often
fail you ut your greatest need. If you
are inpolite To your waSherwoman, you
are in great danger of being SO To the
very lady whose good wishes you are try
ing to propitiate. Rude manners are so
nsii,aaihg that they steal upon you un-
aWares: Nithout their opposite has become
a habit. The charm which true Chris
tian politeness sheds over person, though
not easily describeu is felt by all hearts,
and invariably responded to by the bes,
feelings Of your nature.

has just resigned his office for the purpose OF establish
ing agency in Boston for procuring Patents in this

His long official connection with the Patent Office has
rendered him familiar with its rules and practice and
with the history of invention in this and other countries;
and this experience, with the frequent visits which he
proposes making the Patent Office, us6es him IN
saying that his agency will offer Inventors all the
advantages of one located in Washington. and, in ad l.
tiOn those which result from residence in the midst
of mechanical and manufacturing industry.
Advice given upon all matters relating TO the validity
&c. OF patents, the novelty and patentabily Dyen
