The Major in a Tight Fit.
Major Kelly—better known now as Captain
Kelly, of the Cuban Liberators, or of the Fili
busters. as the more popular term is—is now in
our midst receiving the congratulations of his
numerous friends, and hobnobbing with a host of
old acquaintances. The truth is. that those who
best know the Major, and were accquainted
with his many hair-breadth ‘scapes through life,
—who knew, also, the ample resources of his
thoroughly practical mind, on which to rely in
getting himself oat of a dilemma, should he get
into one, had but little fear for his linal safety,
and they now rejoice that they have not been dis
appointed.
Os course, they knew that the Major—we
must still call him Major—could not dodge a
twelve or a twenty-four pounder, or even a
Spanish musket ball, if it took him in a vital
place: but they relied on the Major's luck, and
trusted to chance for the cortingencies. The re
sult. as we have already stated, poves that they
did not reckon without their host.
But. how did the Major escape from the Span
ish authorities, —how did he shake off the gives
and manacles of Spanish despotism, which fet
tered his limbs? This, to most people, is a mys
tery, and to none, we believe, is it a greater one
than to the Major himself. He went to Cuba, —
he fought,—he fought bravely, hut he did not
conquer, lie was arrested. Many of his com
rades died gloriously on the battle-field, —his
chief was garoted,—others were shot, as a mark
of ignominy, though no inominy rests on their
characters, in cold blood, —others were basely
butchered, when found writhing under the anony
of their wounds—and others again, like the
Major, were arrested, and, unlike him, sent to
expiate their alleged offence in the chain gangs. ,
and with the felons o( Spain. The Major passed
throgh the dangers and vicissitudes of the whole
campaign, and has returned, —thanks to the star
of his destiny,—without a wound, unscathed.
But how is the enigma of his release to be solved?
“Ah, there-by hangs a tale.'’ We have heard
one solution for it, but will not vouch for its au
thenticity. It is this: That when the Major, in
company with his associates in misfortune, was
brought to Havana, and there imprisoned, an
idea struck him—the Major was never stricken
by anything else—which was. to assume airs,
with the view of endeavoring to impress on the
minds of Sis Iberian captors, that he was some
“punkins” in the United States, and with the
further view of availing himself of their use to
effect his liberation. The tensor of the prison
had no sooner shaved oil his hair, and the tailor
of the same “institution” had no sooner stuffed
him into a convict suit, —for it was literally a
labor of stuffing.—than she Major applied him-'
self to writing letters, addressing them to imagi
nary intimate friends, many of them amongst
the most distinguished public men in the United
.States. The style of these letters may be gath
ered from the following, which, although not a
literal copy, come near enough to the original, to
give its jist and meaning:
Castillo de i.a Ui nta,
Havana, Aug. 28, 1851.
His Excellency, Daniel Webster,
Secertary State, U. S. Washington.
Dim, Ohl liny —You will be surprised, I doubt
not, on receiving a letter from an old friend and
one whom you have so often befriended,from this
place; but as the old lady said when she cracked
her tea pot. what’s did is did. and what is the
use of kicking upa d—n fuss generally aliout it.
When, in September of last year, I partook of
your chowder in Marshfield, and cracked with
you a half-dozen of that old Madeira. I little an
ticipated that I would lie placed to day in my
present position. But, ! tis all destiny. Who
can tell to-day what is going to befall him to
morrow? Had 1 taken your advice, and ac
cepted the mission to the Barbary States, things
would have been better, —I, at le st, would not j
be so barbarously treated, as I am in this prison,
where they have not left the first sign on ray
head or face of hair or whisker. Concha, I am
inclined to think, is. on the whole, a good fellow,
and I think if you were to whisper a word to
the Spanish Minister in Washington,Galderen de
la Barca in my favor, there may be still hopes of
my release. Remember me to our mutual !i iend
the Hon. C. M. Conrad. Secretary of M ar—
when 1 supported him for the Second Congres
sional District of Louisiana, I always called him
“Charley.” _ r i
Yours.as ever, J. A. KELLY.
Capl. of the late Liberating Army of Cuba.
The Major addressed a letter to Henry Clay—
so our informant states—in which he adverted
to the many pleasant days they spent together in
Ashlandand in Washington, when he, the Major,
represented the tenth distrietjof Tennessee in Con
gress.
These letters were delivered to the messenger
ofthe prisen, open, of course, and in like manner ;
handed over to the Captain General, who, on
reading them, at once set the Major down for
some one; and having done so, ordered his im
mediate presence. The Major saw that the bait I
took, and was determined to play with the fish.
But how was he to appear in the presence of
the representative of royalty in his prison suit,
that fitted him so very badly? The fact was, a
more ludicrous sight was seldom presented, than
the Major appeared in that dress. His measure,
of course, was never taken for it: it was made
for a man of ordinary Spanish stature, and in the
conception of the man who made it, a man of
the Major's stalwart proportions was a very
giant! As we have already said, the Major was
stuffed in to it, and when in, the cuffs did scarce
ly extend below the elbows, and the pants did
not cover the calf, while they fitted him as tight
as a straight waistcoat.
The Captain General, himself, could not sup- I
press a smile on seeing him, for, with his smooth
ly shaven face and cropped head, he looked like
a monster Boy,.who, by the application of some
patent physical principle, had outgrown his dress
in one day. It must, be thought, be a strange
metamorphosis for the particular friend and as
sociate of Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, and the j
other great men of the country, to have under- j
gone. The Major, observed the source of his
Excellency's humor, and made proper apology
tor his plight. Having, he said, to leave Bahia
Honda somewhat in a hurry, and not finding 1
suitable conveyance, he was compelled to travel
without his wardrobe: further, that the dress in
which he stood was the gift of some unknown
friend, to tfhom he felt under many obligations.
The Captain General, without much circumlo
cution, told him he was released; provided him j
with a suit that came something nearer the Du- |
cornean fit and cut. and paid his passage to New
York. Hence, the Major got out of a tight fit
and a tight place, at the same time: and no one
rejoices in it more than does the writer of this
hurried sketch.
Credit.
Strange, indeed, the delusion of the whole
credit system, which,in all its branches, is a sys
tem of usury—in effect, if not design! It sheds
its intoxicating influence over all who come be
neath it, and bewilders, for a time, the most in
telligent and best constituted men!
The impression of a credit—postponing the
day of payment—is like the impression of a
fir off period of death, an accountability on
the mind of the wayward, vigorous and health
ful sinner ; who, though in his moments of calm
1 reflection realizes the certainty of the coming
event, and may believe in the full retribution of
stern and irrevocable justice, yet banishes the
thought in a moment, with but a slight twinge
of conscience, and goes on, still keeping the day
of 1 penitence and change in the illusory distance.
Ihe man who receives credit, receives goods of
certain value, without the impression of return
ing value in exchange, as he would if paying at
the time ot reception. He deals, therefore, more
liberally—hoids less question ofthe price—takes
more, as if a gift, and feels grateful to the creditor,
as toward a beuelactor, and goes on undreaming
of the usury that is heaped upon him, and the
fact that he must pay dearly in the end for the
bland manner and apparent generosity ofthe ma
chine which extends to him the hand of cordiali
ty-SrasP**'K his own with condescending kind
j ness, but to place it at last in the strong vice of
responsibility, or the steeltrap of usurious per
centage. With what surprise and agitation, and
i rapid fluctuation of feelings, chasing shadows of
incredulity, suspicion and regret over his crest
fallen countenance, the debtor looks up into the
changed face ofthe late affable creditor, who has
opened the book, “and then another great book,”
and announced to hun the sum of all his in
debtedness! He did not think it Mas half so
much ts astonished! But the figures do not lie;
there it stands in fearful magnitude. He gives
his note, with “big interest,” for want of better
means. A sigh escapes him as his sign manual
is placed, and he retires, revolving in his own
mind the probability ol “cheat,” determines to
buy no more on.credit, and, too otten endeavors
to relieve his mind from the impen ling obliga
tion by an ungrateful reproach of his late model
man, and a pretty bit of revenge, declaring his
determination “never to trade another cent with
that establishment at any rate!”
But the boi rower of money, for the purpc .e of
discharging old obligations, is still more deceived
in feelings, inasmuch as he attaches more value
and importance to,the glittering coin than to or
dinary goods, and when it jiasses from him, sees
1 even less in return.
Obligations for money borrowed, for the pur
pose of discharging an existing liability, though
more punctually paid from honor and necessity,
arc like a doctor's bill—the pain lor which it
was incurred, by a wise provision of our nature,
is nearly or quite torgotton, and there is not a
shadow even of a substance left to show lor what
good!
Shylock Shark Brotvn M as a man who under
stood all these points in human nature, ami made
good use of them. He made his rates high i:: ac
cordance with the necessities ol his customer,
whilst the victim's mind Mas in a state of pain
ful anxiety beyond the appreciation of suffering
which the remedy Mould inflict, and, like the
doctor again, made his patients believe that he
was doing them a benefit and kindnesss, while
, he was burning their side with fierce blisters, and
draining the very current oflife from their \ uins.
— N. Y. Keening Post.
Money Market, Tuesday, Oct. 28th.—There
is more uunasiness in the money market from va
rious causes; and although loans on call are still
offered lively, there is less readiness to nee liate
I more permanent investments. Part of this has
grown out ofthe demand lor money in the ulte
rior. where the pressure through which we have
passed, is now felt. Every mail brings ap, lica
tions Iroin banks and individuals for loans or
credits,and these absorb pait ol the means which
Mere relied upon for the supply of local wants.
The firmness in Foreign Exchange has also
retarded the growing ease in the Money market. |
Fears are entertained.that more specie Mill be
required and greater stress is laid on this than it
deserves. All these difficulties will, no doubt, soon
be smoothed, although fluctuations in rates ofin
terest may be expected, before the market settles
once more to the old level.
The Stock market again opened heavily, with
more sellers than buyers and prices again de
dined.— Journal Commerce.
Tiie Weather. —No sooner had we spoken
ofthe mild and lovely weather, in our last paper, j
than the clerk of that element laughed in our I
face, and required us to erase the record. On j
Thursday morning last we had a killing frost— ’
on Friday ice, and ice every morning since, with j
but one exception, up to the time of writing, on
Tuesday. It is now raining.— Athens Danner.
