Miscellany.


Jenny Lind gave concert at Washington
during one session of Congress, and as
mark OF her respect, and with view TO the E.
cldt,s d )lte invitations to the President the
members of the Cabinet, Mr., Clay and many
other distinguished members of both houses
of Congress. 1t happened on that day that
several members of the Cabinet and Senate
were dining with Mr.. Bodisco, the Russian
Minister. His good dinner and choice wines
had kept the party SO late that the concert
was nearly over when Webster, Clay, Crit
tenden and Others came in; whether from
the hurry in which they came, OF from the
heat of the room. their faces wee somewhat
flushed, and they looked somewhat Hurried.
After the applause with which these gem
tlemen had been received, had subsidized and
silence was once more restored. the second
part of the concert was opened by Jenny
Lind with "Hail Columbia"
This took place during the height of the
debate and excitement OF the slavery ques-
ton aud the compromise resolutions OF Mr..
Clay; and this patriotic air, as part OF the
programme, was considered peculiarly appro-
PIRATE at a concert where the head of the
Government and large number of both
branches OF the legislative department were
present. AT the close OF The first verse, Web
ster's patriotism boiled over; he could stand
it no longer; and, rising like Olympian Joye,
he added his deep sonorous bass voice to the
chorus; and venture to say that nev,r, in
the whole course of her career, did she
hear or receive one half of the applause
with which her songs and Webster'S che
rus were greeted.
Mrs. Webster, who sat Immediately behind
him, kept tugging at his coat tail to make
him sit down or stop singing, but it was OF
no earthly use--and at the close ofeach verse
Webster joined; and it is hard to say whether
Jenny Lind, Webster or the audience were
most delighted. i heye seen Rubini. La
blache and the two Crisis, on the stage at
one time, but such happy conjunction in
the national Dir oil Hail Columbia" as Jen-
nv Lind's tenor and Daniel Webster's bass,
W. shall never see or hear again.
AT the close of the air, Mr.. Webster rose,
with his hat in his hand, and made her such
a bow as Chesterfield would have deemed a
fortune for his son, and which eclisped Dor
says best. Jenny Lind blushing at the dis
tln9uished honor, courtesied to the floor; the
audience applauded to the very echo; Web
ster, determined not to be outdone in polite
ness, bowed again; Miss Lind recourtesied,
and the house reapplauded, and this was re-
peated nine times, or "Pm a villain else."
| have seen Niagara and Tagiioni, Mars
and Malibran; l have walked through the ru-
ms at Paestum and the colosseum by moon
light; crossed the Menai bridge and the
Thames tunnel, but never while memory
lasts will this scene fade away.
The next day it was currently reported
that Barnum had engaged MI. Clay and Mr.
Webster to accompany Miss Lind and him
self as far as Richmond and assist her at her
concert For some days nothing but Miss
Llnds coneert'and the report about Clay and
Webster, were talked OF about the capital.

Last summer party of ladies and gentle
men, spending the season at Rye Beach, N.
H., went on a picnic to Exeter. After a
gala day of fun and irolic, they packed up
their baskets for return, and found quite a
large quantity of edibles undevoured, which
it seemed pity to waste. But, strange to
say, there are no paupeIs in that part OF the
world, and the farmers are quite too indie
pendent to be made objects of such favors;
so there seemed no disposition TO be made
of the yiands but to make an offering to
some very appreciative looking pigs that were
making their wants quite audible in neigh
boring pen. Accordingly one OF the gentle
men was about disposing Of the remnants in
this way, when he was saluted, to his aston
ishment, by the owner, with "Hollol l say,
stranger, what air you doing there?" His
charitable purpose being explained, our
friend was about to execute it when he was
interrupted: "Wall, rather guess 1 wouldn't
stranger; we're purity particular about our
pigs" 1t is needless TO say that the entire
party, with all their commissary departm emf,
made an abrupt and mastery retreat to Rye;
and the subject of pork has ever since been
a sore one.
