YANKEE VIsrr TO CARLYLg-The Rev. T
Clspp, formerly of New Orleans, I'M an autobi-
ography, gives the following account of his
Introduction to the "Great Censor of the Age''
Thomas Carlyle. Having received letters of
introduction from Mr.. Bancroft, the American
Ambassador a. the English Court, he called at
the door of his residence. A lady, with very
Intelligent appearance, received the visitor
II have called this morning" he said, "to see
Mr. Carlyle; is he at hOme?" She replied
MIR. Carlyle has just entered his study, and
no gentleman can see him this morning. If
the Queen Of Eng and should call here and re-
quest an interview, il would not be granted. -
The Doctor asked if she could obIige him by
taking written message to the study An
affirmative answer was given, when he wrote
with pencil tfe following words:
"Dear Sir: No gentleman, but q MAJ, is ut
your door-a Unitarian, Yankee, a Democrat,
and a radical, all the way from the banks of
the Mississippi; careful reader and a great
admirer Of Mr.. Carlyle, and begs the favor of
sshort Interview which must be granted notc.
or never this side the grave. -ti-t
he letter Of introdac tion was sent With this
unique note. Directly the invitation came,
.waik up. sir; shall be happy to see you. -
We copy Mr.. Clapp's account Of this interview:
Il was received in the most kind and uncer.
emonious manner. The topics on which we
conVersed were so numerous that have not
room even to mention them. The colloouial
style of this gentleman is plain, easy, and un-
affected, and bears no resem blance to that of
his later writings; has none of those quail
ties commonly called transcendental. Our
Conversation Was protracted till afternoon.
Though rose several times to depart. be in
sisted upon my staying longer 30 earnestly that
l acceded to his wishes. Much of the time was
spent in answering his inquiries concerning the
statistics Of the United States, the pecuiiari.
ties Of our government, laws, manners, schools,
churches, literature, DO. He professed to be
much gratifed with the information which !
gave him in regard to these subjects

dooD JOKES Connected WITH THE SUsAy's
rAssAGE.-We heard two very excellent prac-
tlcal Jokes which were perpetrated by Cant
Maury. The sailors Of the Susan deserted be-
fore the vessel got out of the board, except the
captain, and 1t is traditional at sea that it is
not easy to convert landsman into a sailor at
snort notice. The sea-dogs have phrases of
their own which are Greek to the others. To
obviate this defect, Capt. Maury resorted to a
novel and ingenious expedient. Every man on
board, We suppose, knew how to play cards,
and the captain, taking advantage of this skill, /,
tied card to each Of the ropes Of the vessel
The orders then run somewhat in this fashion ::
" Haul on the ace Of hearts," "Let 20 the
king Of diamonds" "Belay on the deuce of
spades J" dc. By this means the extempo-
rlIed sailors soon got the hang of the ropes,
and affairs went on pretty smoothly.
The other anecdote is even droller II seems
that Capt Maury, when he went on board the
revenue cutter to discuss the marine laws, took
In his pocket lot of "rattaiI fles"-thinking
perhaps, that he might spike some of the guns
while cruising about the deck. He was aston
ished on mounting the cutters side by finding
that the usual armament was doubled, and ex.
pressed sstonishment at it, After having dis
cussed the laws, &c., he walked about, ad-
miring things generally, and, perhaps, utter
ing some apprehensions that the Susan would
stand no chance frem a broadside. In this
way, with "rattail files" convenient he an
preached the bow end Of the vessel, and was
about to neutrsliIe two Of the guns when they
showed life, and he discovered that they we're
cutters men, imprevised for the occasion as
tso guns, with tarpaulins over them, and look
ing good enough guns at a distance, The joke
was kept until he got to the Susan, and we
suppose he related the discovery there with
great gusto
