Daniel Webster and Lord Brougbam.

Mr.. Webster was an admirable raco31-
fcley, and some of his "reminiscences of
his visit to England were very enter
tanning. One morning in London after
breakfast with Rogers, the banker
poet, he left the house in company
With the celebrated Sydney Smith, and
- they passed the door Of Lord
5rougham, Smith proposed a call, to
which Mr. Webster assented. On en-
srrirg Smith introduced Mr.. Webster
as Nj Clay" Now, Mr.. Clay had not
long before denounced Lord Brougham
in 5he United States Senate, so, to use
1-r. Webster's words: Lord Brough
au did not say word to Mr.. CLAY nor
IGr. Clay to hord Brougham. Smith
a1-l Webster seon took their leave. and
as they were crossing st. James Park
the former all at once became silent
and then a<hed: Did I not introduce
you to Lord Eroughan as Mr.. Clay ?"
"Cartaiuly you did" replied Mr.. Web
star. No more was said On the subject.
bj'5 lIr Smith soon excused himself
Ehat afternoon Mr.. Webster found a
card from Lord Brougham inscribed.
For Eir. Webster" and they became

AUsr1E, Tex, May 17.--Actiug Stale
Treasurer w. Is. Warthan brought up an
important question concerning the class
of land involving millions of acres and
reaching purchasers all over the country.
He refused the tegder of over $4,000 made
By various parties for land purchased. He
explains that certain railroad companies
holding land. certificates made surveys eff
alternate school sections, and had Eled the
notes taken. Now parties claiming that
these surveys were rot valid come forward
and propose to purchase the lands under
what is known as the fifty cent law, and
have rendered full payment for the lands
they desired, including alternate school
sections with railroad sections. The last
Legislature having declared the questiona-
bic surveys by railroads for the benefit of
school lands valid, Mr.. Warthan refused to
include them as fifty cent lands. He Of
fered to receive money on the railroad sec
tons, but not on the alternate school lands
Parties represented by Judge Hancock as
their adviser made their tenders for both
kinds of land in bulk, refusing to divide
the question and thus raising an import
ant issue with the state.

Mr.. Bossowman is erecting rev build
ing on Second street which he intends to
occupy as harness shop. He will take
possession in the early part of June.
A trial takes place this morning in the
police court, wherein the defendant is
charged with using abusive language on
the 4th day of last July. The case will be
tried by jury by request of defendant.
VIM. Humphrey, whe drove through the
city about three weeks ago hooting and
yelling at the top of his voice, was arrest
cd on Wednesday evening by Officer Nc
Carthy, who, by the way, has faculty of
not forgetting sacs little tricks Yester
day morning the noisy gentleman was be-
fore the police court and paid SIS to set
tie the scrape.
Mr.. L. Morgan and the Ferguson Bros,
had some misunderstanding yesterday in
regard to some money. The first named
person claimed to have paid the brothers
So on pair of boots which he was to take
away at certain time. Yesterday morn
ing on entering the store, angry words
ensued between the parties, when Morgan
either fell against the front window and
broke it, or was, as he claims, knocked
against it by oRe Of the Ferguesons. The
case comes before Judge Lee this morning.
Four young gentlemen came up from
Hudson on Wednesday evening, with the
probable intent of visiting the Opera
house. Seemingly their minds were some
what confused when they arrived here. It
is probable they carried the source of con-
fusion in the carriage with them. Ia at
tempting to drive up the Main street stairs
their vehicle was badly demolished and
the occupants thrown out, narrowly es-
Gaping being tramplOd on by the horses.
For the hone trip conveyance was pro-
cured from one of the livery stables.
The report, on "Wednesday evening that
man was killed during the day in the
north part of the city proved to be IN
true The rumor was caused by a man
named Samuel Anderson, employed in the
Misunderstanding &CarIcompany's brick
yard, who was prostratep DO the heat and
over-work. In addition he is said to have
drank an inordinate quantity of water. In
the delirium which ensued he imagined
that he had been struck on the head by one
of the other hands. Anderson was up and
around yesterday morning, apparently
none the worse for his cold water spree of
the day before.

frrther investigation of the furniture.
The marble top Of chest of drawers

because it had once been put to funeral
