HANDwRIrI NG.-Tn Rogers Table Talk
the following story is told: "When the
great Lord Give was in India, his sisters sent
him some handsome presents from England
and he informed them by letter that he had
returned them an elephant TAT least so they
read the word y an announcement which
threw them into the utmost pcrpexity, for
what could they possibly do with the ami.
nal! The true word was equivalent ~"
In DR.. Van Vcchtcn's life of Dr. Mason,
we find the great man commencing letter
to Dr. Chalmers, thus: II thank you for
your kind note by Mr.. Duncan and recently
for another which | duly received, and after
due pains and application of my critical acu.
men bestowed thereon. nearly dcciphered
them both. Here and there word has baf-
fled the united sagacity of the house and
must, fear, be left to the genius of some fu-
ture Gruterus, or Monlfaucon. However
have succeeded in gathering your meaning,
and shall always feel myself gra,ifcd in the
opportunity, and repaid for the difficulty of
diving into the mysteries Of your sui eencris
autographs" Give and Chalmers were
great men, and each overwhelmed with
multiplicity of business. For them there was
some excuse for ilceible handwriting. But
certainly for ordinary men, there is none.
No one has right to trouble another with an
indecipherable scrawl, especially if that
scrawl be upon his own business.

Select nlisclulltD.

| Observation-Disclosures SCOrT.-ThIs veter-
an officer attended by his staff, for the first
time in many years, it is said. reviewed the
cadets connected with the military academy
| at W est Point, i'll the presence of large
and brilliant asscmblage of spectators, on the
I'm instant, which was not only the ami
| versary of the battle Of North Point. but also
the anniversary of the battle of Chapultepec
where Scott won one of his brilliant victories
correspondent of the New York Post, wri-
ting from West Point in relation to the re-
view, says
General Scott, on this occasion, appeared
for the first time In his uniform of Lieut..
General. although wherein that dress differed
from the garb usually worn by general Off
GERS in the American service it would puzzle
the unprofrssional spectator to determine.
The old veteran, however, looked prodigious-
~ fine in it, and with his tall chapeau and
still taller plume of brilliant yellow, lowered
full eight feet above the plain. He appeared
in excellent health. and although grown some
what portly of late years, still preserves that
fine military Bearing for which he has always
been remarkable. The battalion then went
through their evoutions in admirable style.
The occasion and the pres ence OF the Gcner-
al-n-Chief and so many distinguished officers,
animated the young men to unusual exer-
tons, and the review was universally pro-
nounced to have been one of the finest ever
witnessed. General Scott protested himself
entirely satisfied with their discipline and
precision of drill, and stated, as somewhat
remarkable circumstance. that, although up
wards of forty of the cadets on review were Of
the new class who had been less than six
weeks under the instru ction of the drill SER
gcant, they nevertheless acquitted themselves
like veterans.

DISTRESS. Horace Smith says that dis
trcss, even when positive or superlative, is
still only comparative. AS an illustration of
this idea, he relates the following conyersa-
ton:
"Such is the pressure of the times in our
town" said a Birmingham manufacturer to
his agent III London, THAT we have good
workmen who will get up the inside of a
watch for eighteen shilings." Pooh that
is nothing compared to London" replied his
friend; we have boys here who will get up
the inside of chimney for sixpence.'

GEN, HoUsToN.-The old hero Of San ia
cinto, Gen. Sam Houston, went down the
Mississippi last week in the steamer L. E.
Twichcll, and landed at the mouth of the Red
River en- route for Texas. AS the boat round
ed to at the wharf at Memphis large crowd
of people called Oh the war-worn veteran for
his views upon the present aspect of public
affairs. He complied, and gave them rousing
Fillmore and Union speech. The old General
is full of fire yet, and ardently devoted to the
Union. He knows what it cost Texas to get
into the Union, and consequently he has no
notion of getting out of it.
