A Pkacticbi, Joke. —“How line doth
breed a habit in a man.” —Every body has
noticed the truth and point of this exclaim,
tion. We remember an instance;
A gentlemen of considerable talent ns an
orator, became a member of a legislative body
in onr-of the Eastern States. In P| leaking,
ho was addicted to an old habit of handl ng
ha spectacles, first placing them upon his
nose suffering tbcin to remain a minute or two
—throwing them upon Ins forehead,and final
ly folding them up and laying them before
him upon the desk.
< )ne day u very important question came
up lor consideration, and be commenced a
speech in opposition. A friend lo the propos
ed measure, who was a most incorrigible wag
withal, determined to spoil tJin effect of t lie
honorable member's remarks, and accordinglg
b Tore lie entered the House, provided bun
ault’ tv ;t K a dozen pair of spectacles. The
member commenced his speech, with Ins
usual n.diily. Hot a few minutes bad elaps
ed before be was at work with Ins spectacles,
ami finally got them upon his forehead. At
his juncture, onr wag, who Blood ready, la-id

-T These were lakyd up, and by regular
gradations gained a place on Ms .urcoca ,
by tbeside of the mhos. A ihitd, fourth, and
filth pair was dispo-ed of in lint sune nnn
ner. A smile settled upon the Countenances
of the honorable members, winch gradually
lengthened into a grin, and at last, when the
speaker had wanned into one of Ins must
patriotic and eloquent sentences, be deposit
ed a sixth pair with the others, and there was
one long and lo d peal es laughter fiotn all
quarters of tlie hall—president, clerk, messen
gers and members joined in chorus. The
speaker himself looked around 111 astonish
ineiil at tins curious interruption, hut accid
entally raising bis band be grasped the spec
tacles, and the whole force of the 3 >ke rushed
upon the his mind. Hu dashed the glasses
upon 1 lie floor, took up h s hat, and left the
hull. The bill passed by a triumphant majori
ty, probably in consequence of the gemlen on’s

CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
'I II ■■ rsila v Moruinjf, Marrh S,
At an election held last evening, the follow-*
ing„gent!eincn were elected officer* of the An

We have perused the Idler in yesterday even
ing’s People’* Press, which the Ed for of that
paper vouches to have come from mi old and
tried friend-of the Slate Right’s parly. As it
seems lo he chiefly aimed nt the Editor of the
Chronicle and Sentinel, wo presume the writer
of il expects us to give u reply to it. We do
not care lo trouble ourselves about replying to
ivrry anonymous writer who chooses to call us
jefore the liar of public opinion, but as the letter
n question is couched in respectful language, ami
winces no disposition to attempt to overawe us !
1, the discharge of our duties it shall have a re
ply and at (lie same time a place in onr columns,
so soon as other pressing duties ofour office will
allow us time.
Our friend of the People’s Press intimate* that
wo arc “on the verge of straining at r> gnat and
ewallowiilg a Clay-Dank 1” Well, we are cer
tainly not in the act of exactly imitating ou r
friend, for he swallowed the Jlaul: first and is
now straining at the gnat. We shall not say
whether it was a CVoy-Dankor not, fir be guiplt
eil it down with an eagerness and a.:dily which
salislird us that lie was not at all fastidious about
its color. Ho is now straining bard to swallow
the Sub-Treasury 100, but oil ahd water will not
mingle, and tli-it “accursed” Dank has such a
lodgement in bis stomach that even the “rcgeii
eruting tonics," have not enabled him to disgorge
it. There is still however a sale and wholesome
remedy l-i/vldch he can resort, and as he is soon
likely to he in the “expunging” circles, we roc'
omiueud him to gel friend lianloii to draw “black
incs” round the first few numbers of the People's
Press is,ued last summer or early in lire full.

I information ami is ready to denounce both
I these gentleman in advance. Indeed it docs

(treat Sale of Steal Estate.
We call attention says the Charleston Mer-
I cury to the advertisement of Mr. Sluliz.
which will be found incur columns 10-.luy.
j W e hope public attention will be sufficiently
! attracted to the important sale of Los in
i Hamburg, to take place on the second Mon
day in March, to secure to Mr. Shultz that fa
vorable result in the adjustment of his affairs*
which lus long life of laborious enterprise and
1 public benefaction so eminently deserve.
The -prosperity of Hamburg is built upon a
foundation not easily shaken, and we can
not doubt but the value of real estate there,
will rapidly increase.

suited in consequence of the mi.'spelling o>
the cndorserV, name in the notice of protest.
, f Messrs. II Smith Lee, plaintiff, and Ehenczer
Gridin, defendant, were the parties in the
suit. The irregularity consisted in spelling
Mr. Gr.(Tin's name with the letter e instead of
iin the last syllable. Judge Edwards, hnw

PiiUENOLoev. — Mr. Editor; 1 have been
extremely incredulous as'o Ehrenoogg as a
sctr.ee, and have but recently turned my
attention to it, and still In a very slight de,
gree - nevertheless, the lectures recently deli
vered in this place, and the examinations of
heads winch I have witnessed by Messrs.
Buchanan &, Fowi.gr, have gone far to
wards removing my incredulity; and I now
believe that Phrenology as an indication of
the natural propensities of individuals may
become of great importance. Messrs, B. and
F. have demonstrated to a certainty their
power of delineating character by examining
heads;—they have promptly furnished an
outline of peculiar characteisl res of some por
aens of our Town, whom it was extremely
improbable, nay, almost impossible, that they
previously knew any thing ot. The year
gs n lemon ot prepossessing appearance in
genteel society; and I cannot suffir them to
leave out Town, without this hr es testimoni
al in their favor, and an exhortation to all
who have the opportunity, to test Fnernology,
by hearing their lectures and putting their I
discrimination of characters to trial, before
they form their judgement as to the reality of
the science.

LouisPhii.i.i pph—The intel.igcnt French
correspondent of the New York American
(Mr. Robert Walsh) says;
“More than a twelvemonth ago, I came to
Paris, thinking that Louis Philltppe was, al
together, the most onlighted patriotic and ju
dicious of the whole long line of French -
,irchs. This impressmn has been generally
j confirmed by nil that 1 have since seen, read
and heard. He lias been constantly, and is
n nv. necessity andprovidential lor France in
lliesamo degree as when he was proclaimed
at the Hotel de Villo. He has proved him
self equal, by his dexterity and courage, to
difficulties, and dangers tor the country and
himself greater than which, few political
chiefs cave even had to surmount. He is an
a imirahle manager of men and parties.
Prince Motternich lately pronounced him to
' he the ablest statesman of Europe. The
1 opinion that he is superior in discernment
i and judgment, to any one ot the most eminent

i finished bis speed) in support of the buh Treasury
System ; ami in defence of the whole financial
policy of the Administration. This gentleman
is rather conspicuous in his parly for scholarship
1 and general information, and possesses powers
of reflection and argument, which I regret to see
so misapplied as they are in bolstering up the
' “experiments” and newly discovered constitution-
I c.l dogmas of Messrs. Wright, Calhoun, & Co.—
• The speech was interesting fiom the copiousness
and variety of illustration with which Mr. Strange
treated his subject, nod the number of classi
, eal »nd historical allusions showed a consid
erable extent of reading, and an enamoured
acquaintance with ancient and modern literature.
But tiie honorable Senator is unfortunately
bitten with the agrarianism now so fashionable
among those who hang on to the skirts of th
Admtmul ration : and iso was strong in his denn
f elation of all tha banking institutions of the
. country, and the whole credit eysiem; and a*
- loud in applauding tho exclusive gold and silver
■ policy as the height of human wisdom, as Benton,
r Ulair, and the rest of the Loco Foco crew could
t desire. The Sub Treasury gcnllemeHjwerc, of
, course, delighted. Whenever a man appears
r among them who is gifted with any ability of
, reply to the arguments, and sneers, and sarcasm
I with which they are assailed, they applaud him
j with an energy proportionate to the variety of
i opinion among themselves of the qualifications
he possesses.
When Mr. Strange finished, Mr. MERRICK,
of Mary land look the floor, and moved an adjourn
ment. He will speak on Monday.
We are to have a new Sub Treasury Bill, you
will have s.en front the letter of yesterday—Mr.
Camhrcling having reported a project of the
Committe of Ways and Means for collecting,
safe keeping, and disbursing the public money,—
It is said to be still stronger than that which is
under discussion in the Senate 1 Is it not mon
strous that the patience of the people should be
so long trifled with in Ibis manner, by the bring
ing forward of scheme after scheme to which
they are known to bo opposed* Cambteling's
bill was sent'lo tiro committee of tho whole.—
There let it remain ! It will never pass,
Tin* miscellaneous proceedings of the House
were without interest. During the morning,
however, a subject of great importance to the
old States was brought up, by the resolution ol
Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, proposing an enquiry
by a select committee into the propriety of mak
ing a more equal distribution of the public lands,
for the purposes of education.
Mr JOHNSON made an able and interesting
speech on the subject, aud brought forward a
number of statistical details which show an im
perative necessity for some alteration of the course
that has been hitherto pursued.
At the usual hour the speaker called for the
orders of the day—Private bills—but Mr Cam
brcling induced a sufficient number to “toe the
mark” —neglect the poor private claimants —and
give the day to the appropriation Bills,
The Bill making appropriations for the pays
| merit of pensions was then taken up; and after
-a short discussion was passed.
Both Houses adjourned early,
The excitement in regard to the late unfor
: lunate duel is rapidly abating. Tho investiga
! lion into the causes and circumstances is going
nn in the select committee appointed for the
' purpose. M.

extremes of the market. On Saturday last about
one thousand bales changed hand, amongst our
dealers at prices varying from to 10} cents.

the interior, and no sales at wholesale have come
to our knowledge.

sold during the week at 7 pr rent prem; on Phil
j adclphia 5 a pr cent pram; on Charleston ;4 pr
