Capr. MaY 8D Hls FirsT CoMMISSION, —
Some oue in announcing the nomination of Capt
May as Brevet Major and Brevet Licutenant
Colenel states a singular fact in connection with
his original appointment as Lieut. of Dragoons.
During General JaCkson’sndministl'utinn,\ymmg‘
May, then but a boy, and expert in horseman
ship, was hoping for a military appointment,—
A Lieutenant’s vacancy occurred in a regiment
of dragoons. May heard of it, and mounted his
horse, dressed with fustian jacket and panta
loons of fustian in huntsman’s style, and dash
ed from Brown’s hotel, on the avenue up to the
President’s house, and on to Georsetown, thro’
mud, rain. and every thing else. Upon arriv
ing there he turned his horse’s head ‘bock agen’
and dismounted at the portals pf the President’s
bouse, covered with mud. Says he, “Jemmy,’
to O’Neil, then the doorkeeper, ‘1 want to see
the President.” ¢He is in cabinet council, to
day,” says Jemmy. “But | must see him,”
says May. O’Neil, looking at the rider and
horse, imagined the visitor te he a bearer of an
important government despatch, and immedi
ately retired to make the announcement to Gen
Jackson. The old General, with his charac
teristic proinptitude, directed his cabinet to
‘withdraw, and the stranger to be ushered in.—
Young May, an elegant lad, six feet, and beau
tifully proportioned, cap in hand, made a bow
to the President. *“What is your business,
)young man?”’ asked the old hero. ¢l learn,
'sir,’? said he, “that there is a vacancy in the
Lieutenancy of Pragoons, and | have rode, sir,
a long distance through mud and sleet to ask of
‘you the appointment.””> Jackson, astonished,
scanned him from head to foot, and from the
scrutiny, judged that ke had about him the ma
terial of a soldier. Said be, ‘‘are you a good
horseman?” My horse is at the gate,” said
young May, ‘‘see me mount, and dismount.”
The old General, struck with che appearance
of the young man, followed h.m to thie grounds
in front of the Presideuntial mansion May
mounted, rode and dismounted as man never
did before. ‘T'his occurred during the Florida
war. 'T'he old General asked whether he could
kill an Indian? “*Yes,” said May, “kill him,
by ——, and eat him!? The next day May
was Lieutenant of ‘ragoons.
Newspaper Statistics.—A calculating youth
informs us, after looking over our little heap of
mail papers, that in the course of the past two
days the editors thereol ¢ Jearn’® more than
three hundred things and times—<deem ittheir

«pegret to announce’’ nearly the same number
—srejoice to add” fifteen—&e. &ec. The same
papers describe about twenty-eight ¢ heartless
wretches”?—and any quantity of wonsters in
human form.”—Brookiyn Eagle.
oz There is a sign in an obscure street in
New York, with this inscription: ¢ Coffee
House and Eat-ery.”—N. Y. Sun.
We know a customer smarter than that one,
by a jug full. We printed a store bill last spring
for a “merchant’? hving in the village of Hugo,
Ind., who headed his advertisement: “*Shirtery,

WoMEN 18 THE Army.—The U. 5. Army
Regulations allow four women in each com
pany. ‘'l'hey must be the wives of soldiers,
and do the washing, for which they receive
pay, and also rations. In the Freuch service
such camp-followers known ns vivandieres, are
regularly unitormed and weara dirk in their
girdles. . They are also provided with a can
teen containing some lotion or other restorative
for the wounded soldier, and a satchel contain
ing lint or bundages for the same purpose,
Large axp Ssavr Newsparers.—lt is one
of the sorry errors ot the world that the merit
and value of a paper is supposed to go up with
its size, Nothing can be more distant from the
trath, and the world is n confounded booby
head for antertaining it. Your mammoth sized
papers are terrible bores—great diluters of sense
—zhosts of Ideas. Their editors may be very
clever sort of men, expert at driving the quili,
straddle the scissors with marvellons skill, and
all that sort of thing, but they must necessarily
spread an idea over a murderous extension, and
fritter away its substance into foggy nothing,—
But he of your small sheet, with columns com
pressed into sensible coziness, must write noth
ing but ideas—and only the heart of them,—
Brief, concise, terse, he must roll a sentiment
in every syllable—a sermon in every word.—
Never take, then, the half years stock of a
steam papermill forideas, information and those
desirabiles. It is enough that they exhaust the
language and give u thrice printed dictionary,
more you have not a right to look for. But if
you want the mirror of the time——the spice of
the age—living and Iccognizable ideas—look
into papers of moderate and small size.— ¥o

the purpose of expressing their indignation at
the course pursued by certain clergymeu in that
vicinity, who it appears have introduced poli=
ties into the sacred desk, by denouncing the Na

of the Mexican arms, and denouncing the whole

the eftects they produce. An old gentleman
felt secure against the cramp when he placed
his shoes, on going to bed, so that the right
