In reluming from a trip to tlie Likes, a
few daynngo, 1 wilnesseda litltte afliiirthat
makes quite an item in my note-Look, and
may amuse 3-our readers. After a weary
drive, in a procession ol twelve carriages,
that moved solemnly lor twelve houri over
as many miles of beautiful country, we
pulled up in front of the "National," in
Springfield, at about 9 P. M. The Circus
and County Court kept that beautiful little
town in a densely populated slate, so much
so, that the sixty or seventy passengers that
1 counted as travelling companions, could
not find beds to rest their weary limbs up
on, but were forced to take to carpet bags,
trunks, julep?, until the cars for Cincinnati!
would give us more comfortable quarters.
Among the rest, a lillleFrenchman, whose
baggage consisted of a queerly shaped hat
box and a faded silk umbrella, moved rest
lessly about with the box in one hand and

one of nor passengers, and nt '.he lime of
Monsieur La Troi's deepest distress was
standing in the moonlight in front of the
Circus, talking lo a number of friends, when
some mischievous wag pointed him out to
Ihe lillle Frenchman, as the stage agent.
In a moment he was by Ihe side ol L ,
and breaking in upon the conversation
without any ceremony, exclaimed, "Sare,
I have loose my pa-sport I have loose mv
vat you call him? eh! ah, yes I have
got him. No, no, I no m- an I have got
deling I mean I have got de name of de
tinjr, 1 have lost my teekets."
L , who knew nothing nf the cir
cumstances, supposing he meant a circus
ticket, quietly said I
"1 am not connected with the circus,
sir."
' Sare-cus ? vat do I care about the sare
cus I no varit de sare-cus; 1 vant my
teeket vich I have lose."
"1 am very orry for your loss, sir, but I
am not the person to apply to for a reme
dy." "Yon are not ze pair.stine to make de
remedie ? Sare ! are you not connect wiz
de stage?"
"Yps, sir, Iain connected with the stage,
and if I was in Cincinnalti, would with
pleasure replace your lost ticket, but I have
not the power to do so here."
"Vat do I do viz de teekets in Cincenatl
I-vatil de teekets here in dees place
vere I have loose him if I no get de
teeket here 1 shall uevaiie get lo Cincenatt
I shall bring nine, four several gentle
men, vich will prove zat I have pay for
my teeket vich I no got, but vich have
zhnmp out of my pocketis."
"Never mind, sir," kindly responded
L , glad lo get rid of his tormentor on
any terms; "I will replace your ticket."
So saying, lie slopped up to one of the
alt tehes of the circus, procured a ticket,
and handed it to the excited Frenchman.
Poor Frenchy took the square pasteboard,
marked "Box," and supposing all tight, put
it carefully in his pocket-book gathered
up his hat box and umbrefla, and reaching
the hotel, was fortunate enough to find six
feet of the parlor floor unoccupied.
Stretching himself out at lull length, he
was soon in the land of dreams, where no
doubt his soul revelled and floundered in
whole seas of frog soup.
In the morning, soon after breakfast, we
were all comfortably seated in Ihe cars, and
tearing along at a break-neck speed
Frenchy sat close to me, and jabbered inces
santly. Shortly alter, the conductor en
tered, with the usual salutation of "Tickets,
gentlemen." Our little friend opened his
pocket-book, took out the ticket he had re
ceived ;h.e liighl before, and presented it
to the conductor.
"This is not the light ticket, sir."
"Ho res no de light teeket 1 yes saire,
he isde right teeket ; I have get him from
Ihe stage agent, myself."
"That don't alter Ihe matter, sir. 1 tell
yon that ain't Ihe proper ticket. It don't
belong here it belongs to the circus."
"Ha! dere ees dat sare-cus come once
more. Now vat have I got to do wiz de
sare-cus '!"'
"I know no'hing about your connections,
sir; 1 oulv know that that ain't Iho riobl
document before we reach town, you'll
have to pay your fare."
lie was just about to assassinate English
in reply, when a benevolent individual,
who sat next to him, explained, as well as
he could, the true nature of the case. This
only had the effect of changing the current
of his rage and he chaled up and down
me lioor, showering invectives upon the
him the ticket the night before.

While laying this flattering consolation
to his wounded soul, his eye happened to
rest upon poor L , who sat quietly at
the. tar end of the car and recognizing
him as the stage agent of the night before,
ho at once "opened on him-"
"S.ire, you are vera great scoundrel, and
I sail give you five cent to black my boot."

"Sare, I sail soon show you vat I have

' WEBSTER, EVERETT AMI MARCV.
These interpreters of Americanism to Eu.
rope, have won immoital renown by their
documents on the rights of citizenship and
tho duties of our government towards her
children. We have not jet found leisure to
give an outline of Mr. Maicy's teller to the
repieseiilulive of Austria on Ihe Koszta case,
but it is ono of the finest Slnte papers ever
issued, ami with the New York True Nation
al Democrat we feel proud of our Secretary
of Slates' r-ply to Chevalier Ilulietnan, and
of Ihe noble stand taken by the administra
tion against the demands of Austria. The
affair seems plain enough. Kos'u was a
llung.'tiiau refugee, who, banished by Aus
tria, came lo this country and declared bin
intentions of becoming a citizen. Visi'iTig
Smyrna on private business, he was seized
on Turkish soil, by Austrian orders, and plu
ced in irons on board an Austrian vessel of
war. Ctipt. lugralianl of Ihe United Slates
sloop-of-war St. Louis, demanded -Koszla's
release, and threatened lo (ire on the Austrian
vessel if hi. demand were not compiled with.
Koszla was then liberated, placed in lite care
of Iho French Consul at Smyrna, and Austria;
through her Minister, usks our government
to disavow Cm pi. Iiigrutmtti' uels", lo apolo
gize for the same, lo surrender Kusztn, nnd
make suituble acknowledgements for having
interfered wilh him. To these modest ro"
quests of Austiia, the President, through
Secretary Marcy, has most elaborately re
plied, taking tip every point, orguing il
closely, intelligibly, feat lesaly and logieully,
completely refining nil of Austria's proposi.
tiuus, and dissipating them like so much
chtilf, before ihe wind.
Our government takes the ground, in sub-

New York Mirror, gives somewhat of
different story ot the lale seaudaluus ulTair at
Newpml. Tho Mirror says :
"We met on Sat unlay Col
Cranston, editor of Ihu Ncwpott News, mid
one of the counsel in tho Morgan diflieul'y
He iufuimed us that he had just seen Mr.
and Mr MoignuolTiii the "Franklin', for
Paris: ami that Ihey went together liaimoiii

against his' wife ; and but for tho uiteifer-
euce of Mr. Hone, the scandal wuuM never
hive been bruited by the newpapet.
"From what we could gather iu a brief
conveisation wilh Colonel Cranston (Moi.
gau's counsel) a contioversy aiose between
the husband and wife in regard lo going lo
an evening parly The wife wished to go
Ihe husband did not ; and instead of submit-
I lllv, lo lne wishes of ber husband like a
II-
saciificing christian, sho mounted Ihe plat
form of "woman's lights," and u very voci-
fmous war of words ensued. In ihe midst of
the stile, Mr. Ilone lUihed in and espoused
the c.i u to of the wife, who in the heal of tlie
moment, uttered bitter complaints against
her husband. .
"If Mr. Morgan had then punished Mr.
Hone, or any other cilizeu for inter foi ing, he
would have been justified ; and no one mote
warmly than by hit own wife, when Ihe
stoim of passion had subsided. . But bis do
libaiale chastisement of Ihe old man, after
Ibe blood had lima to eool. was an art trial
few will attempt to justify."

1IO.H. EDWARD EVERETT.
" As Mr. Everett will in all probabilily be
Iho Whi j candidate for ihe Piesidency in
If 56, the following sketch ol him by n Bos.
ton correspondent of tho Herald will prove
iiiletesting :
Mr. Everett, whoso scholarship, pniity of
life and consistency of political cliaractei has
never been questioned, stands in an impor
tant position, us the representative of the
opinions of n majority of Northern people.
Mr. Eveiett now resides in summer street,
Boston, wheie he has one of those roomy old
fashioned mansions, whose spacious halls,
wide staircases and extensive npaitineul car
ry the vistor back lo tho days of hoops, far.
Ihingales, high-heeled shoes, powder, square
cut coats, bag wigs, knee breeches and sil
ver buckles. Mr. Everett is essentially a
Irian of method his life is based upon a plan,
and his household follows the example of its
master. He is now fifty-nine years uld,hav.
ing been born in Dorchester, in April, 179-1
In scholastic attainments he has no superior,
nd his learning is not only profound, but
thorough and far-reaching. In his w ritings
he displays more particularly the methodical
habits of life.
Everything which bo publishes or pronoun
ces is previously prepared, and every comma
is carefully considered before it appears In
oratory he is graceful, btillient, fervid ami
effective. His voice is not so deep. full.
powerful as Webster's, but ho exceeds Ihe
"Nestor" in grace and gesticulation, in apt
ness of quotation, and in elegance of of dic
tion. Iu person he is not so remarkable.
His height is five feet nine inches, his peison
when in repose, more expressive of hard stu-
ly lhan great renins. His hair is light, his
eyes of a delicate blue, his features regular
ly formed and gracefully chiselled. He now
spends most of his lime in study, and his Ii
btary is considered, both in contents and ar
rangements, to be supetior lo that of any
private gentleman in this country.
In manners, Mr. Everett is refined, amia
ble and courteous. By relusiug to sssnmetho
airs of an aristocrat, ho rather adds lo his
dignity than detracts from it. It is cheerio"
to know that his physical organization is ol
present in a most healthful stale. This brief
review of the man has been given merely lo
gratify the reasonable euiio.ily of a very largo
lass in the community, w ho desire to know
all about a man whoso woiks have attracted
and still do attract so large a share of atten
tion both al homo and abroad. Oxford Uui
veisily, (England,) soino yeai ago, tendered
lo Mr. Kveietl the degree of Ltuctt of Civil
Laws.

time, Ihe ground landlord is besides lo have
ihe building, which is now being erected on
it, and will cost $30,000. A building on
Rioadway, immediately adjoining Tiiuity
church yard, forty feet front nnj two hundred

into coriidorsaml offices, biiugsan aggregate
rent of SGO,000 per annum ; and a gentleman,
who has built himself a splendid dwelling
as high up in Bioadway as iho neighbot hood
oIL uioti bipiare, at least two miles above
