The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-03-22

Its somewhat noticeable fact that nearly all
strangers who have placed on record their impress
slons OF Baltimore, have said something in its
praise. Whether our visitors were travellers from
foreign lands, or wayfarers from other States of
Inc UNION, they have alike borne pleasant testi-
mony to the attractions of our city, and to the
genial manners of the better class of its inbabi-
tants. Occupying position midway between the
North and the South, it was natural that it shouId
partake of the prominent characteristics of both
sections, and combine, to some extent, the active
enterprising spirit of the one with the freehearted
hospitality OF the other 1t is certainly gratifying
to know that whatever may have been our short
comings in other respects, those who are best
qualified to sit in Judgment upon us, as a commu-
nifty, have rarely failed to do Justice to our
better qualities. We have been particularly
struck with these friendly indications as ex-
hibited in that capital series of articles
which, under the title of ''The Profess
''sor at the Breakfast Table, have aid
ed so largely in extending the reputation of the
atlantic Monthly. Among the dramatis persona,
whose conversation the Boston Professor delights
in recording, is young Marylander, who is evil
IDENTIFY introduced as type of his native State,
but more particularly of her chief city; just as
'LIrTLE BosToN," with his intensely local preiu-
dices represents the threehilled city, and the gen.
teman who fourishes under the soubriguet OF
sKoH-I-NooR, is typical of New York. Such, at
least, it seems to us, the Professors design in
sketching these several characters; but whether
it was so or not, his portraiture of. the young
Marylander is certainly fattering one. In the
April number of the Monthly, of which, through
the thoughtful kindness of a friendly correspon-
dent, we have been put in possession of the adj
vance sheets, one cannot fail to notice
the pains which have been taken to develope
this character Here is an instance. The KOHL
NooR-New Yorker-being affronted by a remark
of one of the interlocutors is seized with sudden
fit of wrath, and catches up tumbler with the
design of throwing it at the speaker. The Pro-
lessor goes on to say
'The young Marylander fixed his clear steady eye up
him, and laid his hand his carelessy almost,
but Jewel found held that he could not
it. 1t was of The youth his master in mus
ce and in that deadly Indian hug in which men wreste
with their eyes;over in five seconds, but breaks one OF
their two backs and is good for hreescore years and TEN
one trial enougl-settles the whole matter-Just as
when feahered songsters of the barn yard game and
dungh come together,-after jump or two at each
other and few sharp kicks there is the end Of it, and it
is, ApreS cou Monsieur in all the social relations with
the beaten party for all the rest of his days"
But what we chiefly wanted to give was the Pro-
fessor's opinion of city, not as respects the
beauty of its women, or the glory of its monu-
ments or its hospitality, or, in fact, any
o'her popularity for which it has been previously
lauueo-out from astronomical point of view.
