Mr.. West moved to postpone the Cen

aelief that if Congress went into the cen

MIR. Haydn, presumeW Yes, sir Are
you willing to compose march for the troops

thirty guineas, but it must be done to-day as l

do it. As soon as the captain left he opened the
piano forte, and in quarter of an hour the
march was ready. But feeling some scruples at
home at an early hour that evening, and COM
posed two other marches, intending to give the
captain his choice of them, and afterward to
make lin gift of all three as return for his
liberality. Early the next morning the officer
came. well where's my march|' Here 1t
is" Twill, you just play it on the piano? ~
Haydn played it The captain, without saying
a word, counted the thirty guineas the on piano,
took up the march, and walked away. Haydn
ran after him to stop him. ~ have written two
others which are better. Hear them and make
your choice II like the first very much, and
that is sufficient" "BUt just please to hear
these" The captain marched down stairs, but
Haydn pursued HIM, saying, 81 make you
present of them" II won't have them" But
at least hear them" begged the musician. THE
devil shouldn't make me hear them" retorted
the captain. Not meaning to be outgeneraled, the
piqued composer fastened to the Exchange to
to inquire what ship sailed for Calcutta that day,
| and the name of the commander. de then
| rolled up the two marches, inclosed polite

| ing that the musician was in pursuit, would not
| even open the note. and sent it back with the
| music. Haydn tore the music into thousand
pieces, and never forgave the captain as long as
he lived.

Coal Mine.
. PennsyIvanIa Coal Mine on Fire.

NILKEsBARRE, March 3.-The miners
who have been for the last two months
Eghting fire at the Empire mine near this
city have ceased work, having become
convinced that their efforts to control the
derry element are becoming more hazard
DIS and unavaiiing each day. Subsequent
events proved that the apprehensions
we've net unfounded, for last evening a
most extensive "cave in" OF the mine oc.
cured, exceeding in extent the fall Of the
Baltimore mine which took place short
time since. Great CONSERVATION prevails
in The neighborhood of the mine, and
families are preparing to leave the dam
gerous proximity. The fire now has free
scope, aud threatens the utter ruin Of one
~ the most valuable possessions of the
Wllkesbarre and Lehigh Coal Company.
q BILL has been introduced hi Congress
n rcasing the salary of the Judges Of the

1t affords me very great pleasure to visit
this watering place, and for the first tune
in my life. l have one remark to make,
however, and that is that the Doctor is
not exactly a man of the truth. He said
that he would not bore us with long
speech. He did not bore US, but he made
the speech, and therefore he has not kept
strictly within the line of his word /; and
if was a speaker would like to reply to
some part Of his speech. Speaking of this
SANDER about New Jersey being out of
the Union, if that was SO | would never
have come here, because | come
here as President Of the United States,
and without any thought to leave the coun-
try. and II what he states is true, then |
am liable to impeachment. There are sew
eral points in his speech that would ike to
reply to in detail. but not having heardi it in
advance it would be impossible to do so.
