A STRAY LEAP
In the Life of a Great Nosoliate
"The wiip—the wheTo—what boots it nor to telly'
' , My Melody! this is mere diversion!"
iConfound this gout!' pettishly exclaimed
Mr. Walton, as he arose from his solitary
dinner.
Now, Mr Walton was a bon vivant, a
humorist of the first fashion, a tale writer
(it must be owned) of the first talent, and
one whose society was so constantly cour
ted, in all dinner-giving and literary circles,
that a lonely meal was a most unusual and
unpleasant occurrence to him.
"Well," continued he, "I must, per force,
content myself with,another day ofsofa and
Quarterly;" for Mllr. Walton ranked among
the mast devoted adherents to the Quarter
ly creed of politics. .
Scarcely had he uttered these words; in
a tone half peevish and half resigned, when
a servant handed bun a letter, bearing an
official seal atupendous duneasions, and
marked, in the corner., ~p rivate and confi
dential." , , .
Walton eagerly opened the envelope,
and, to his no small dismay, learned that

and to whose fortunes and party he was
attached. (by a snug place,); required imme
diate information on subjects, connected
With our naval establishments, into the ex
penditure of which, the groat political .
Oconornist, on the, opposite side of the house,
intended to make certain inquiries in the
course of a night or two. Mr. Walton
was requested, not to, say , commanded, to
see the commissioner at-Portsmouth as
speedily, as possible, to investigate facts,
and to report progress on his retain. -It
was at the same time delicately hinted,that
the expenses of this . important mission,
would be defrayed by the writer from that
convenient and ever-open source, the pub.
tic purse.

servant ai “Mr. Ineog," had the coach to

alighted at the George, in Highitrget.
"Pleasant and intelligent youth!" sighed
Walton, "I'll put him into my next sketch.
Well, I've had the bore of this days jour•

'The play, there's comfort in the name;
any thing is preferable to this lonely, gloo

to me."
An old woman, with a flat tin candle
stick, led the way to a small inconvenient
room up numerous flights of stairs, nnt
evincing the slightest sympathy with the
limp oEour traveller, who, by the way, had
nearly forgotten his gout in his annoyan
ces. She assured him that all the best
rooms were engaged. -
What soothers of irritated feelings are
soap and water! . Walton washed his hand
some face; and aristocratic hands, (novelist=
inkhad not spoiled them,) got rid of his
dusty travelling suit, put on a capacious
king's.stock with flowing black drapery,
and a well-regulated and well braided
Stulz. His ready made Hoby's he .con
signed to "boots," having ermined the
bas de sae and easy pumps. Leaving
word that ho should require something for

The acting was sufficiently bad to amuse
him, and at a moment when the attention of
the audience •was directed to the closing
scene of the tragedy, and the ladies of the
Point were weeping at the distress of the
lady in point, the door of an opposite box
was opened by the indenticat lout who had
waited on him at dinner. The lad making
his way through a box full of over dressed
and vulgar.looking people, whispered to a
man in a blue coat and powdered head,
singling out Walton, as though he was the
subject of this unexpected communication.
The landlord of the "George," for it was no
less a personage, started up, and instantly
left the house, accompanied by the females
of his party.
When the curtain fell, a whisper spread
from box to box, and during the farce Wal
ton could not
,help perceiving that he had
become a greater attraction in the eyed of
the audience than the performers were.

—"Staying at the George!"
„Wondering at the extraordinary interest
he had excited, congratulating himself on
an evidence of fame that Sir Walter him
self might have envied, and, followed by a
crowd, he reached the " inn. Three or
four spruce waiters in their full dress, re
ceived him at the gateway, with most
obsequious hemage. The landlord, (his
hair repowdered for the occasion,) carrying
a silver branch of four wax lights, stepped
up to him with a low bow. . •
"This: way, an' please you--; this
way. Supper is ready for your —." .
Walton, indulging hts love of comic- ad
venture, followed his guide with a dignified
air into the drawing-room. The splendid
chandelier threw a flood .of light ovei a
table, covered "with every delicacy of the
season," , His host . lamented that the
champaigne had not been longer in ice,
and was clistrest at having been absent from
homo when his , illustrious guest arrived.--7
Waiters fiew about anticipating the asking

was alacrity and adulation." Walton could
not help contrasting the indifference which
he encountered at his afternoon meal with
the courtesy whicli.graced his evening re.
past. fie made ample amends to Ms insul
ted appetite, and regretted that he had 'no
friend,to, partake in the joke, for he began
to find these mysterious attentions too vast
for even his literay vanity to swallow. Re
membering-the purport of his visit, he ur
quiree how soon the commissioner was ex-
pected to return.
"Sir Henry came back this evening,

ing duty for sherry, and .a genuine bottle of
Southampton port, so well known by the
seducing. appellation of "Black-strap."—
All these luxuries were brought him by a
lout of a boy, who looked more like a helper
than a waiter.
"Well," thought Walton, "the sooner I

Walton, lifter having discussed some
...v;?: made bialtiip, and a - segar or twe,'rang
for a night candle. The attentive landlord
like Mo - nk Lewis's beautiful spirit; still
bearing the silver branch, led the way to
the_ best bedroom. Walton thought of
the lottily.situated apartment first:allotted
to him, and 'an' iled. Dismissing his offici
ous attendant, he retired to rest.
The next morning, somewhat tired by
the parade of the past night, he breakfas.
ted in hid bed-room, and was preparing for
his visit to the dock.yard, when
.his perde
voting host entered, beseeching the honour
of showing him the way'. His offer wps ne
cepted; and finding 'that the champaigne
had renewed hid gouty symptoms, Walton
took advantage of his companion's support
ing arm. The good man appeared over
whelmed with this condescension, and
looked unuttorab:e things, at the various
acquaintance he encountered in his way.
At the dock gate,
.Walton left his delight
ed cicerone, who intimated his ambition to
remain there, to have the uupreme felicity
of showing him the way back.
Some hours rolled away, do:ing which '
our traveller received the information he
had sought, which appeared also much im
port to the Right H onorable-,on whose
behalf he had made the inquiry, that he de
termined on leaving Portsmouth instantly.
A footman of the commissioner's was de.,
spatched fora chaise and four, with direc
tions. that the bill should be brought at the
same time. Down rattled .the chaise, and
down come waiters, chambermaids, boots,
and all "the militia of the inn," to the dock
yard' Walton, without looking at items,
put . the amount into the hands of his grati
fied host, distributed his favours liberally to
the domestics, threw a crown-piece at .the
head of the lout, and stepped into his chaise,
amidst huzzas from the many idlers who
had joined the Georgians.. . •
"Long ljfe to the Grand--- " were
tho only words the noise of the wheels per-
mitted hint to hear.
He reached London, without any farther
adventure, in as short a time as four horses
could get over the ground. Arrived at his
home, he instantly forwarded the essential
documents to his patron; and, having dis
burthened himself of the more weighty
affair. fell into a series of . conjectuies, as to
the possible motives for the reverential
deference he had , mot with. Tired with
cocflicting speculations, between his fond
wisties to attribute it all to his literary rep.
utation, and his secret lears . that the homage
was somewhat too profound, even- for ti
literateur of his eminence to reckon upon,
he kicked off his boots! Certain charac
ters on the morocco lining attracted his at
tention. mu a moment the mystery was
solved. On decyphering them he decover.
ed no less a title than that of
"Tun GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS!"
for whom the .Hobv's had been originally
designed—for whom they had proved cub
er too large or too small; and for whom al
so—our literary diplomatist had been mista
ken, from the moment that he consigned
them to the polishing hands of the wise %yid
ter at the George!

he went grumbling up to bed, and hoping

INTERESTING LETTER.
Extract of a letter, dated •
W.ASIIINGTON, April 22d.
bear. Str:--Some people are "born to
good luck;" and , of this favored order of
mortals, none ever appeared so couspicu•
ously the "favorite of fortune" as John Ty
ler. An old woman in Virginia, at the
time of Harrison's visit there last Februa
rv, said—" The General looks well and
stout; and I wish him long life; but then no
man can ever•live long against John Ty
ler's good luck." This was told here be.
fore Harrison's dangerous illness was
known. A recurrence to the fortunate cri
sis of Tyler's life furnishes authority for
this.prophecv, now so distressingly fulfilled .
He,succeeded to all his.past high offices by.
the death of the previous incumbents. as
you have probably seen mentioned in a re
cent newspaper paragraph. A much more
singular coincidence which has never been
published, he himself• mentioned to a friend
a.few days ago, showing a wonderful fatali
ty in the connection of 'the names of Har
rison and Tyler. Both you know were
born at "Cabin point" in Charles city Coun
ty, Virginia, whore their fathers were
neighbors and associates• in public life.—
Benjamin. Harrison being somewhat older
than Tyler's father, and always just in ad •
vance of him in political station: Benja
min Harrison began the race, as a member
of the House• of Delegates from Charles
city. County; and when he was transferred
from that place to the State Senate, the el
der Tyler succeeded him as Delegate--
Hatripon, senior; being next elected to the
Cofitinental Congress, Tyler, senior, suc
ceeded •
trim att•State Senator.. Harrison,
senior, being then elected Lieut. Governor
of 'Virginia, - Tyler,' senior. , succeeded him
in COngress.'*• _Harrison t semor. being then
elected• Governor of Virginia, Tyler. se
nior, succeeded him as Lieut. Governor,
Harrison and Tyler then, holding the two
highest offices of that Slate as their" sons
lately did the two highest of the Union.—
To cap the climax of coincidences,—by the
!death of Harrison, senior; in 1791,=Ty•
ter, senior, became Governor of Virginia!
Nor does this sense of singular consecu
lions stop here. Harrison second and Ty- .
ler second appeared in Colviess here near..
ly at the same time, the . former being a
Representative from Ohio,----the latter - from
Virginia. When Tyler first bOcame a
member, (for half a term, I believe,) he
was put on a standing committee of which
Harrison was Chairman, and when Harri
son ceased to be a member of the Himbe of
Representatives, Tyler succeeded _him as
Chairman of the Comunitae. In 1826
Harrison became a United States Senator;
and not long tiller, Tyler was elected also
to the Senate, and was then pet upona.com
mime of which Harrison was Chairman.
to 182 A, when Harrison resigned hie place
in the Senate to go to ColoMbia; Tyler
succeeded him as Chairman of that Corn•
mitten also: Their nomination together'at
Harrisburg, without previous forethought,
as to Tyler, at least,--their election and its
last great consequence—complete the won.
drone tale; and so ends the most remarka
blo series of accidental coincidences ever
known.
By the appointment of ithe Previdence
of God, without the agency or intention of
nice, John• Tyler is now President of. the
United States. In this result so sudden
and unexpected, those who know Tyler ,
best, and who daily converse with bun here,
learning his opinions on all the great ques
tions of National policy,---see nothing un
fortunate for the great W hig party or alarm-.
ing to them. On the contrary every great •
measure which was expected from Harri
son, will'find in Tyler a warm and:devoted
supporter as well as proposer. He • has
within four days expressed himsolf favor
of a National Bank. He says; however,
that as it will take a. long - *tete get such
an institution satisfactorily organized and in
full successful operation, end as the country
wants and demands immediate relief, he
wishes to have some interMediate.measuret
takentO meet presenreXigeneies; On, the
repeal of the'Sub-Treasury; which oftotirse
will be the first job of the session, he.wish. •
es to have-the - specie paying State Banks
made - temporary depositories of the public
money,• and ()their measures for . the relief
of the community while, more „permanent

ties on imports; tinder • the Compromise.-- - -
He professes . to be very ambitious of haV
ing the country speettily relieved; so that
the benefits of the great change they be felt
by the people during . his administration,
says, that as tar as legielatiOn cen•effect it,
'the country may be relieved in . ninety days.'
This ie surely an honorable ambition'and - a
noble spirit worthy of n•sbeceesor of 'Hat
rison, and-most satisfactory to•the Whigs,
But of iill:his-:recentpriteate declarations
Of sentiment,' there is none Which . I' lied
with more delight 'and 'pride than that of
his policy toward the Indians. • 'iledenoun
ces and repudiates in• the strongest terms
the whole lndian policy of Jackson - and
Van - Buren. Humanity and christianPrin.
ciple are to form the basis of his now
scheme. as the best securities of an en
lightened self-interest. He has already. ab
regaled-- the iniquitous • Cherokee treaty
which has made so much trouble and has
begun negoctations for a new treaty, fur.
nishing that abused tribe with fultindemni
fication - and satisfaction- for the plundering
and persecutions whiCh they have.solOng
endUred with magnanimous forbearande,'
and -heroic patience,' silently waiting 'the
day 'of their-redemption in the triumph of
the Whigs ,• It is a fact . Most' unquestiona
ble, though little known among ' you; that
the=re-election of • Van • Buren would have
been followed by . the 'outburst of a flame of
war all along our great Western frontier,
which would have swept the whites.to the
Mississippi. This is what the . Arkansas
men and , • the" Indians themselves say;
and nobody can doubt it who knows the facts.
The educated and christianized high chiefs
and intelligent' half,-breeds have • all along
been soothing doWn -the oppressed . Chern.
kees,• Choctaws, Chickasaws,' and Creeks
by promising them certain relief on'
•election of Harrison and Tyler. John Pose
(whom. Poinsett refused' to acknowledge)
has. just been -recognized as' the constitu
tional "High Chief of the Cherekeei." ' He
is here now •with his Delegaticin - ind'looks

The whole swear' of' Whip agents and
aupermtenaerits- etnployed by' the', Into ad

beirom of destination." - With scarcely an
exception, t hey are the greatest set of blood
suckers and tyrants that ever breathed.--
Their places will be filled with responsible
men, acceptable both to the Indians and the
border settlers. New England, that has
ever had so loud a voice for the oppressed
Cherokees, will rejoice at the change which
effaces the disgrace of that deceitful, rape
cious policy toward the Aborigines, pursued
by Government for the last twelie years.
Of al: the abominations of Jacksonism,
this was the blackest.—Haryord Courant.
A DESCRIPTION OF TRH MISSOITRIAN.--
This extraordinary zoological monument of

since, end is about to , be exhibited in that

The teeth are each four inches broad,
The nose projects 15 inches Oyer the lower

of 1 foot and 3 inches,which forme the root,
and is buried in the skull. The right tusk
was found firm in the head; and remained
fixed in its socket during its excavation,and
its transportation to St, Louis, which for tut
nate eircuirsterice . enables us to know the
exact position and situation which the
_tusks
occupied ill the head of the animal during
its life. They , wore carried by him almost
horizontally, bending somewhat

The proprietor, Mr. Koch, in his printed'
description of the . animal, makes the follow
ing remarks on its supposed habits and "nct-
The animal has been, without
,doubt, an
inhabitant off water-cc/macs, such as large
rivers and lakes, which is, proven by, the
formation of the bones; Ist his feet were
webbed; 2d, all,his, bones were solid, and

tusks are so situated in the head : that.. it
would be utterly impoisible for him to exist 1
in a timbered country. His food consisted
as much of vegetables as flesh, although he

of theiatter, and was capable of feading

INTERESTING INCIDENT IN THE LIFE
OF GEN: 'WILLIAM H. HARMON.
From the BostroOloraantilo Jourrial:
MR. nDITOR.—The following incieent
illustretivo of the providential care of God
over this truly great and good man, .in a
time of peril and danger, has, I, believe,
never been published. Having had the
pleasure of hearing it' from his own lips
and believing it to be calculated to awaken
a still deeper interest in his character; I
send it for your Journal.
He said that, on the evening - previous to
the battle of Tippecanoe, he' strongly site=
pected that the Indians would_ attack. him
during the night. Aciordingly gave orderi
for every man to lie upon his arms, and for
every horse to remain caparisoned and rea
dy for action at a moment's warning. "Be
ing up and engaged in writing at a quarter
before two o'clock, as was my custom .to
do," said the General,' "the sudden 'crick
of the rifles of the picket guard • soon • told
the truth of my prediction; for'true enough,
they were'upon us. The precautions ,I had
taken the evening before enabled us to give
them a warm reception. Ae . it was still
quite dark, and the attack was so auddon,
my aids; as well as myself, were unable to
distinguish our chargers; and Mounted the
first that came to hand. As for myself, 1
had time to get but one of my stockings
on, and in this manner rode into the battle.
It was my habit to ride a favorite white
charger, and my aid a red one, but by
mistalte'we had exchanged hoises. -It was
not till after the battle that discovered
the circumstance. ."In. the early - part of
the action I missed .'my aid and on search
being made afterwards,we found him among
the slain, completely riddled by the bullets
of the Indians. I' afterwards ascertained
that they had taken him for me, as he was
riding a white charger. Thus by this ac: .
cident my life was spared.
