Qn one of these oceasions the Professor turned to this gentleman and asked him the following : “To which, sir, does the united voice of all antiquity ascribe the seniority, poetry or prose ?” : The student rese with the utmost gravity, and turning to the large crowd anced led, said: “Gentlemen, the learned Professor asks me—to which does the united voices of all antiquity ascribe the seniority, poetry or prose? I would say in answer to the question, to which the united voices of all antiquity ascribes the seniority, that I have not the remotest idea to which it does ascribe the seniority, and furthermore that I don’t care a d—n.” The student took his seat, amid, not the laughter, but wild demoniacal shrieks of the class. Even the sober Professor could not restrain himself. But dicipline must be entoreed, and our hero was summoned to appear before the President. As he was not unused to summonses of that nature he sauntered leisurely to the executive mansion and confronted the head of the faculty. This awful personage charged him with the crime of using profane language in the class, asked him what he had to say for him-, self. The student made a long speech in exculpation, the which was—that from his gay years he had possessed a great love for the truth, which compelle sd him to speak it on all occasions. That when asked the question, to which the united voice of all antiquity aseribed the seniority, poetry or prose, he felt that he didn’t know or care a d—n, and such was his regard for the truth, that he had to say it right out. The President did not expel him, but I don’t think it would have made much difference, as he afterwards sold his diploma for seven consecutive cocktails. IIe went through College, however, aud is now comparatively a worthy member of society. Tue ground which President Buchan. an has taken in his Me ssage in reference to our Central American relations, while it will not attract immediate attention, account of the more absorbing present interest of the ney Kansas question, mind, will, we apprehend, when it does come to receive the Congress and the country, meet with no sini ll degree of op position as well in this as in every other section. the difference which has been a source of diplomatic litigation between Great Britain and the United States, for so long a time, respecting the construction of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, in whien difference the United States stands beyond all peradventure upon the right side, and to settle which amicably our sovernment has conceded enough and more than enough already, Mr. Buchanan, in a spirit of compromise which, taking into view all the circumstances of the case, might, with more propriety, be called a spirit of capitulation, now advises the abrogation of the treaty to the end that negotiations may commence anew. We confess, we are at a loss to understand what fatuity of fear or favor counsels the course which the President recommends. What is to be gained in case we do abrogate the treaty and commence anew! Will Great Britain, by the act of abrogation, consent to stand upon an equal footing with the United States, and yield up all her pretensions of claim to the possessions which she now holds in Central Ameriea? If such is really the fact, w hy any the Clayton-Bulwer treaty? She can do this as well now as at any time, and let this but be done, and the difference is at an end forever. But if such is not ;. the fact,—if Great Britain will not consent to yield her pretensions of right in Central Americ: 1,—if we are to be compelled to negotiate anew upon unequal terms, why in the name of common sense should we throw away vantage’ which we now have in existing treaty stipulations. No! let us not abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, w hich is as fair for one side in every way as it is for the other; but let us rather insist on all our rights under it; for this is a question which concerns the self preser} vation of the Uuion. We shall look with that great interest which the importance of the subject inspires, to see how Congress will receive the recommendation of the President in reference thereto.— Newburyport Herald. The furniture of a splendid house on Fifth Avenue, New York, which cost $50,000 two years ago, was scld recently at auction “for $10,000. Pork anp Beans.—The city authorities of Nashua, N.

A house full of sons is like Lebanon with its cedars; but daughters by the fireside are like the roses of Sharon.” A lawyer in one of the Western courts lately threw a cane at another's head. The court required him to apologise for it. He did so, and replied :— “While I am about it, I may as well apologise beforehand for throwing another cane at him the first chance I gel.” Benedict Arnold’s silver watch has been presented to the Coanecticut Historical Society. ground-work of which he has sprung upon the public . consideration of To settle . difference as to the true construction of the ‘coigne of CostumME oF Vartous Nations IN THEIR Repeasts.—The Maldivian islanders eat alone. They retire to the most hidden parts of their houses, and draw down the eloths which serve as blinds to their windows, that they may eat unobserved. An absurd reason m ay be alleged for their misanthropical repast ; . they will never * it with one who is infertor to them in birth, in riche 8, or di nity; and asit is a difficult matter to settle this equality, they are ecndemned to lead this unsociable life. On the contrary, the inhabitants of the Philippines are remarkably sociable. Whenever of them ls himself o finds without a companion to partake of his meal, he runs until he meets one; and however keen his appetite may be, he ventures not to satisfy it without a guest. The tables of the rich Chinese shine with a beautiful varnish, and are ecovered with carpets very elegantly worked. ‘The master of the house absents himself while his guests regale at his table with undisturbed revelry. The y do not make use of plates, knives, or forks, but their food is served up in dishes, out of which they eat in common; and for this purpose ey ery gues has two little ivory or ebony sticks, which she handles very adroitly. The Otaheitansw, who are _ society, and very gentle in their hers, eat separate from each other. At the hour of repast the members of each fumily divide ; two brothers, two sisters, one silk manaud even husband and wife, parents and . children have each their respective baskets. They place themselves at a distance of two or three yards from each other; they turn their backs, aud take their meals iu profound silence.

His estetes are situated in Austrian Silesia. He has been residing, however, for several years in the northern part of New York State, on a farm which he purchased }and still owns.

Advices direct from Sebastos pol, received by the Baltic, show that Mr. Lee, the chief officer of the Boston expedition, was. still energetically at work with unabated confidence, though the labor of preparing the vessels for raising had proved unexpectedly arduous. Mr. Lee had recently sent one of Constantinople for supples, from which circumstance, doubtless, the report originated. The Marquis of Westminster is the richest man in England.

Qn one of these oceasions the Professor turned to this gentleman and asked him the following : “To which, sir, does the united voice of all antiquity ascribe the seniority, poetry or prose ?” : The student rese with the utmost gravity, and turning to the large crowd anced led, said: “Gentlemen, the learned Professor asks me—to which does the united voices of all antiquity ascribe the seniority, poetry or prose? I would say in answer to the question, to which the united voices of all antiquity ascribes the seniority, that I have not the remotest idea to which it does ascribe the seniority, and furthermore that I don’t care a d—n.” The student took his seat, amid, not the laughter, but wild demoniacal shrieks of the class. Even the sober Professor could not restrain himself. But dicipline must be entoreed, and our hero was summoned to appear before the President. As he was not unused to summonses of that nature he sauntered leisurely to the executive mansion and confronted the head of the faculty. This awful personage charged him with the crime of using profane language in the class, asked him what he had to say for him-, self. The student made a long speech in exculpation, the which was—that from his gay years he had possessed a great love for the truth, which compelle sd him to speak it on all occasions. That when asked the question, to which the united voice of all antiquity aseribed the seniority, poetry or prose, he felt that he didn’t know or care a d—n, and such was his regard for the truth, that he had to say it right out. The President did not expel him, but I don’t think it would have made much difference, as he afterwards sold his diploma for seven consecutive cocktails. IIe went through College, however, aud is now comparatively a worthy member of society. Tue ground which President Buchan. an has taken in his Me ssage in reference to our Central American relations, while it will not attract immediate attention, account of the more absorbing present interest of the ney Kansas question, mind, will, we apprehend, when it does come to receive the Congress and the country, meet with no sini ll degree of op position as well in this as in every other section. the difference which has been a source of diplomatic litigation between Great Britain and the United States, for so long a time, respecting the construction of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, in whien difference the United States stands beyond all peradventure upon the right side, and to settle which amicably our sovernment has conceded enough and more than enough already, Mr. Buchanan, in a spirit of compromise which, taking into view all the circumstances of the case, might, with more propriety, be called a spirit of capitulation, now advises the abrogation of the treaty to the end that negotiations may commence anew. We confess, we are at a loss to understand what fatuity of fear or favor counsels the course which the President recommends. What is to be gained in case we do abrogate the treaty and commence anew! Will Great Britain, by the act of abrogation, consent to stand upon an equal footing with the United States, and yield up all her pretensions of claim to the possessions which she now holds in Central Ameriea? If such is really the fact, w hy any the Clayton-Bulwer treaty? She can do this as well now as at any time, and let this but be done, and the difference is at an end forever. But if such is not ;. the fact,—if Great Britain will not consent to yield her pretensions of right in Central Americ: 1,—if we are to be compelled to negotiate anew upon unequal terms, why in the name of common sense should we throw away vantage’ which we now have in existing treaty stipulations.
