From the New York Sunday Morning Atlae.
THE GREAT F. R. S.
Upon the first arrival here of the Great
Western steam-ship, there came two Fol
lows of the Royal Society. London. They
took up their residence at the great mum
moth building in Broadway, erected to swell
the pride of a millionare, and called after
him the Astor House. The same vanity
that induced the erection of the great and
ungainly establishment wo presume, caused
the production of the work called Astoria,
upon which no less a personage than Wash-
mgton Irving wasted hiB great energies,
and came out, as the common people say,
at the small end of the stick.
Whether these to Fellows of the Roy
al Society, London, imagined that the vast
edifice was erected upon fur skins whe
ther they carelessly dived into the wrongs
of the Indians the spoliations of trappers
and traders, and wondered how much pf
wrong to the abnrigmees, might or might
not have been connected with the suddenly
acquired stupendous fo.tuue, that caused
the inninmolh building to rise darkly and
I'rowningly, in the heart of Broadway, 'is not
for u to say. , With thum or with their
thoughts we have nothing to do. Having
brought them from the then mammoth ehi p
of the waters, to the mammoth house of
the city, we shall leave them, nor refer to
them any more.
At the same time arrived at the Astor
House, adistinguished Phil idelphian, a man
who had many a time and oft, mlonishi d the
natives. Ho was the " N H." of Philadel
phia. In short he was an oyster and clam
man. As his name has been given to us in
the strictest confidence, we do nut feel at
liberty to divulge it. but "what's in a
name'" we will get him another as good.
Lot us see, any thing will do, something
uncommon now uncommon, Smith, aye
Smith John Smith, that will do right excellently.-
Mr. John Smith arrived, as we have eta
ted. He entered his name upon the book
of the establibhment. .
" I want to itay hero, said he can you
accommodate me."
Now John Smith, though boasting an un
common name, did not seem altogether an
uncommon person. So the person address
ed, paid him no very particular attention,
but said he would see, and muttered some
thing about being full and having an apart
ment to spare at the top of the Iioubc.
" Well," said John, "any thing will do,
settle it as you like. "I'll go and toke a
drink; put me where you please."
John took his drink. It was a brandy
sling. We love to be particular. He then
smacked his lips took a choice segar
smoked it felt comfortable in his inward
man and went into the reading room. Here
he was waited upon by a person who bowed
very low and told him that he hod provided
a room for him on the second floor; that they
could not think of putting him any higher.
"Well," said John Smith, ' I dont like
to travel too high in the world. That's all
well."
John retired to his apartment and was
surprised to find it large and commodious,
furnished most elegantly.
' They are taking care of me," said
John." What time do you take supper?"
That io of no consequence said the wai
ter. You can take supper here in your room
at any time you please.
"Oh, I dont like to trouble you so much."
" No trouble sir. Most happy to accom
modate you." v . - -
" Well bring me any thing good. Some
oysters and a few nick nacks and a bottle
of champaigne." '
The waiter withdrew.
' They are very polite here," said John
to himself, "and I will encourage them."
John that night lay himself dowr upon a
superb bed and said it was nice.
On the following morning the waiter en
tered his room with a variety of cards for
him. Among the rest was one from a gen
tlemad then watting. John Smith took it
and rejd, " Professor Add!ebrane, A. S. S."
He asked the professor to walk up.
"U'b odd," said John. ' I never knew
of any of these A. double S. professors.
What can he want with me?" . .
His cogitations were here interrupted by
the professor himself, a tall, lank personage
dressed in sables. lie wore a pair of kid
gloves that had seen rather too much ser
vice andsported a cane, as consumptive look
ing as himself, wnich was gold mounted.
- " Mr. Smith, I believe I have the honor of
addressing," said the professor.- " ;-
John bowed. ' - ' -
" I am delighted in forming your acquain
tance," said the professor. . ' - ' " " "
" Happy to see you, sir," said John.- v
."You. are too kind .Mr. Smith: believe
me, although heretofore personally unac
quainted with you, your fame has reached
this city. You are highly estimated in
your own city." - - :
-. "Well, the boys do think something ofj
me," said John. :( ' ' .
You have classes 'then," said the pro
fessor. - - .
t'Oh yes," said John, who thought his
new friend was referring to the various
kinds of oyster and clams. " I have se
veral classes."
" Do you not find them laborious Mr.
Smith? Is it not irksome to attend to them
all?" V .
Well, it is when the Soys keep me up
too late. We have a new plan of opening
them in our place, which saves- great deal
of trouble.", --.'.-,(
"The profesaof wae- ineotacy.- A new
plan of opening or developing the mind, the
PKE
professor thought Jphn Smith alluded to, and
lie said in reply,
" We do a little in your way in our city."
" So I have heard," said John.
"You will not leavo without examining
our practice," said the professor.
" No," said John.
"I will do myself the pleasure of calling
again,"' said the professor. In parting John
gave him a shake of the hand that brought
tears into the eyes of the A. double S.
John lived a right merry life (luring his
stay, which was on'y for a week. He lia.l
every attendance, and all the great literary
peoplo of the city paid him marked atten
tion. - At last he called for the bill.
" Uullo, how's this, waiter," said he.
"One hundred dollars for a week's board!
My conscience! Here's a naught too much.
Get the bill corrected and I'll ' shell out.' "
The waiter, whose hopes of perquisites
vanished at this speech, assumed an erect
position at once md said the bill was cor
rect and could not bo altored.
"G.et out of the room you impudent
scoundrel and call your master here."
Jack niaile up his mind that his friend was
about to be o-p-h without paying. II?
therefore said he should not leave without
the money, and John Smith was on the
point of knocking the waiter down and
winning over Inm, when one ot the propn
etors walked in.
" Ullo," said John, "what's this? Do you
cnargo a riurmeiphia oystenuan $100 lor a
weeksboinl." -
"A what?" said the proprietor.
"A Philadelphia oystormun."
The proprietor laughed immoderately
said there hud been a inistako reetiliod the
bII and called for a bottle of champaigne
and drank it with John Smith, who then re
lumed to Pliil nlelpiii'i.
One evening os J:hn was "astonishing
tho natives" on his own premises, he re
counted tins advei tore and said he could
never account for the groat respect With
which lie was treated, by the waiters, the
'professors, fac.
"I can tell you," said a young man pre
sent, " thoy all took you for a Follow of the
Royal Society, London."
" How could that be?" said John. '
" Why," said the guy fellow. " I was at
the Astor House ond saw some names en
tered with F. R. S. appended, which stands
fur Fellow of the Royal Society, so I thought
I would add your titles and put to your
name F. R. S. which certainly belongs to
you."
now so f
" Why, it gives your trade with your
mime, and stands for "Fried, Roasted and
Sliwed." . -
EXTRACTS FROM MURRAY'S TRA
VELS. The following is a sketch of a trip into
Virginia. His picture of Judge Marshall is
true to the life, and will be recognized by
every artmirer of that truly great man and
profound jurist:
" I had read so much extravagant praise
ot the beauty ot Kicnmonu, that 1 was
somewhat disappointed; nevertheless, the
view nt the city, the rapids intersected
wilh thousands oI'Lilliputianisluiiiis.and the
wo.ided lulls in the busk ground, form a very
p'e.isant pirture. The society numbers
among its members some of the most dis
tinguished men in the Union: thnir friendly
uttention and hospitality to me warrant my
assertion that their private and social quali
ties ore by no means inferior to their high
public reputation. 1 he names ot Judge
Marshall, 'n. W. Leigh, and Mr. Wick
ham, are familiar to all who have taken any
interest in American law or politics.
" Judge .Marshall, who is Chief Jurticc
of the Supreme Court, and in fact, Lord
Chancellor of the United States, is one of
the most remarkable and distinguished men
that has adorned tho Legis'ature ot either
shore of the Atlantic. He began life as a
soldier during the American war; served in
the militia, where he rose to the rank of
general, after which he came to the bar,
and passed through all its gradations to his
present high station, which is, in my opin
ion, Ihe proudest that an American can en-1
joy, not excepting tne rresioem; inas
much us it is loss subject arourio papillaris
aura; as at tlie court over which lie pre
sides he can affirm and decide what is and
what is not the Constitution of the United
States. The Judge is a tall, venerable man,
about eighty years of age, his hair tied in a
cue, according to old custom, and with a
countenance indicating that simplicity of
mind and benignity which so eminently dis
tinguished his character. As a Judge he
has no rival, his knowledge being profound,
his judgment clear and just, and his quick
ness ill apprehending either the fallacy or
irutnofan argument is surprising. I had
the pleasure of several long conversations
with him, and was struck with admiration
at the extraordinary union of modesty and
power, gentleness and force, which his mind
displays. What he knows he communicates
without reserve; he speaks with a clear
ness of expression, and in a tone of simple
truth, which compel conviction; and on all
subjects on which his knowledge is nut cer
tain, or which admit, of doubt or argument,
he delivers Ins opinion with a candid-differ
ence, and with a deference for that of oth
ers, amounting almost to timidity; still it is.
a timidiiy which would disarm tho most vi
olent opponent, and win respect and cre
dence from anv auditor. I remember hov-
ingoften observed" a similar characteristic
attributed to the im nortal Newton. The
simplicity of his character is not more sin
gular than that ot Ins hie; pride, ostenta
tion, and hypocrisy, are "Greek to him;"
and he really lives lip to the letter ond spirit
of republicanism, while he maintains all the
dignity due to his age and office.
" ins House is sm til, ami more nuninie in
appearance than those of the average of
successful lawyers ur merchants. I called
three times upon h:m. there is no oeu to tne
door; once I turned tho handle of it, and

lifted the latch and received me at the door,
although he was at the time suffering from
very severe contusions received in the stage
while travelling on the road from Fredo-
ricksburg to Richmond, which 1 have before
described. I verily believe there is not a
particle of vanity in his composition, unless
it be of that venial and hospitable nature
which induces him to pndo himself on gi
ving to his friends the best glass of Modei-'l
ra in Viririnia. In short, blending, as ne
does, the simplicity of a child and the plain
ness ot a renubhean. with the learning aim
ability 'of a lawyer, the venerable dignity of
his aouearance would not Butter in compa
rison with that of the most respected and

From the Bangor Courier. ,
A Story or ooii own Times. A venera
ble old Dutchman, after having occupied all
the offices of one of our. principal cities o1
the republic with great honor, and having
aniaBsed a large fortune in the most unex
ceptionable manner, finally formed the
resnlutmn of going to terminate his dny
tranquilly' at his country seat. Hut be
foie retiring he wished to take leave of
his friends and citizens and connexions,
ai d accordingly invitud thein to a feast al
his house.
The guests, who expected a most sump
tuous repast, were much surprised on entor
toring the eating room, to Bee there a long
oaken table, hardly covered with a course
blue cloth. On being seated; they were
served on wooden plates, with salted her
ring, rye bread and butter, with some cheese
and curdled milk. Wooden vases, fillod
with small beer, were possed round for each
of'tho guests to serve themselves. The ex
treme oddity of the old gentleman caused
secret murmuring among tho cornpnay; but
nut of respect lo his nge and wealth, instead
of showing discontent, they pretended to
relish their frugal fare, and some of'them
oven complimented him upon the cordiality
of some good old times which he had
brought to remembrance. The old man
who was not duped by this feigned satisfac
tion did not wish to carry the joke farther,
but at a given signal which he gave, some
servants.habited as country women, entered,
bringing tho second service. A white cloth
succeeded the brown ones, and some pewter
plates succeeded the wooden ones. In
stead of rye bread, herring and cheese,
they were served with good brawn bread,
freuh beef, boiled fish, and strong beer.
At this unexpected change the secret mur
murs reased, the polite invitations on the
part of the old man became more pressing.
and the guests ate with better anootite.
Hardly hod they lime to las e this ihe second
service, when th-y saw a bu'ler entor, fol-
veil by a halt a dozen servants in brilliant
livery, bringing the third. A superb table
of mahogany, covered with a beautiful flow
ered clolh, replaced tho old oaken one. A
sideboard was immediately covered with
the richest plates and curious china; and
the sight of profusion of rare and exquisite
meats. The most delicious wines were
freely passed around while a melodious con
cert was heard in an adionining room.
Toasts were drank, and all were merry.
Bui the good old man perceiving that lii pre
sence hindered his guests from giving them
selves up to their full joy, and addressed
tnem thus:
" I give you thanks, ladies nnd gentlemen,
for the favor which you have granted mo.
It is time I should retire, myself, and leave
you to your liberty. But before the ball
commences, winch I have ordered to bo
prepared for those who love to dance, permit
me to acquaint youwith tiled 'sign that I pro
posed to myself in inviting you to the repast
which lias appeared so odd. I have wished
to give you an idea of our Republic. Our
ancestors rose to their Btate and acquired
liberty, riches and power, by living in the
frugil manner which you saw in the first
service. Our f.tthers preserved these great
blessings nn'y hy living in the im de man
ner of which the soconl service has rotruced
an intake. If it is permitted to an old mm
who is about to leave you, and tenderly
loves you, to speak clearly what he thinks,
I must say, I fear that the exfavagant pro
fession which, you may have remarked in
the last service, and which is the present
stylo of living, will deprive us of more than
our ancestors have acquired hy the sweat of
their brow, ond our fathers have transmitted
to us by their industry and wise administra
tion." Dbyino Fhuits. As this is the season
for drying fruits, particularly apples, peach
es, pears and the like, a few directions for
the successful performance of this highly
useful operation, may not be altogether un
interesting to some of our renders. The
pertection of the process consisis in taking
ripe fruit whose flavor and body have come
to full maturity, nnd then dry it sufficiently
to prevent decomposition without injury to
any of its natural qualities. Peaches are
too often gathered and dried before they
are ripe, because it is less troublesome, and
the product is much larger; although such
fruit is little better than bits of dried sole
leather. In order to dry fruit successfully,
it is well to know something of its chemical
nature. All fruits contain water iu two dis
tinct states. In one tho water forms a part
of the solid portion of the fruit; and in the
other, it constitutes by far the larger ele
ment in its juices. A gentle heat drives otf
a good portion of the latter by evaporation,
without affecting tho furrncr in the sliglitesi
degree. If, however, the temperature is
raised above SO or 90 degrees, Ihe organi
zation of the fruit undergoes a chang ", ond
we obtain a product more or less allured,
according to the intensity of tho heat ap
plied. In this way dried fruit is ol'ien se
riously injured. It "matters n.it whether
fruit be dried by the warmth of the sun, or
by artificial heat, provided the temporuttlre
is not raised too high when artificial heat is
applied. In drying plums and some other
fruits whole, it is advisable to make an Inci
sion in the rind lo promote evaporation. In
France very acid fruits, after they are part
ly dried, are put into worm weak ley until
their surface becomes wrinkled, when they
are washed clean and the process of drying
completed. .This is done to remove the ex
cessivo acidity of cherries, plums and Qlher
acid truits,
To preserve apples and other fruits fresh,
it is advisable to put them up in tight tasks,
and iu some dry material that will prevent
their coining in contact, which makes the
pressure of their weight apply to the whole
surface, instead of to the small points of
contact when apples are laid one top of
another. puff, fal, . ,

search, I beg leave to submit to your readers,,
the following brief sketch of Mr. Hayno'
career.. . j
Robert Y. Hayne was the third son of ft.
respectable planter. He was born near
Charleston, S. C. on the 10th Nov, 1791..
His father was unable to affi.rd him the ad."
vantages of a Collegiate education; but he
sent him lo a common Grammar School inr
thr city of Charleston, where he begun and
finished, his preparatory studies for the pro
fesslon of the Law. ile commenced the
study of his profession, at the age of eeven-
teen, in the office of Langdon Cheeves, at
Charleston, and was adimtted to an exami-.
nation, some six months, de bene esse, under
a rule of Court, that his certificate should)
issue, when he had attained the age of
twenty- one. War broke . out about thi
time, and Mr. Hayne took the field, asLieuw
tenant in the State Troops, under com- -inandof'Col.
Wm. Drayton. His first ef.
tort as on Orator, was made on the 4th of
July, 1U12, on which occasion, he delivered '
an address before the officers nd soldier
of the garrison, at Fort Moultrie. He wa
honorably discharged from the regiment,.,
shortly after, returned to Charleston, recei
ved his certificate of admission to the bar. "
and commenced the practice of his profes
sion. The election of Mr. Cheeves to.
Congress about this time, threw the burden
of Ins business into the hands of Mr. Hayne
At tlie ago of twenty-two, Mr. Hayne wae
married, and in 1814, al the head of a list
of thiny-ono candidates, he was elected to.
the South Carolina Legislature, by the lar
gest number of votes ever given to an indi
vidual in the city of Charleston. After ser
ving five years as a member of the House,
at the age of twenty-seven, he was unani-.
inously chosen Speaker of the body, and pre
sided over ils dehberitio'ns, during Ihe ses
sion of IBIS. He left this house under the
arpointuient to the Attorney Generalship of
the State of South Carolina, co-incident
with which he was offered the appointment
of Attorney General of the United States,
for the District of South Carolina, by Pre
sident Monroe, which he refused. Mr.
Hayne continued to hold the office of Attor
ney Gonorul for the State, until December
vv&i, at which tune, having arrived at an
age which would render him elligible, ha
was chosen oenator to Uongress, for six
years from the 14th of March, ISi2,and on -the
expiration of this term, in 1028. he wa
re elected to the same station, without op
position, for another period of six years.
tie entered the senate at theatre ot 31,
where be soon distinguished himself, among
the wise and the great, a a Stutesman of
liberal and comprehensive views a ready '
and poworful debater an able and profound
politician. His celebratod speech on the
Tariff, during Urn stormy session of 1824,
in which he forcibly and eloquently exposed '
what ho conceived to be the ruins and im
politic tendency ,of the restrictive systeuis
was one of his first and most brilliant efforts.
Soon after this, be originated, and support- '
ed hy many powerful speeches, a general
bankrupt law, which though it did not suc
ceed, was none the less needed. But of all '
hiB elfuris, on the floor of the Senate, none '"
have been more justly admired and applaud
ed, than his two great speeches ou Foot'
resolutions respecting tho survey of the
Public Lands. A correspondent from Wash
ington writing of his last speech on that oc-
casion, says, that it is " Cogent and mas
terly in us reasoning keen and delicate in ,r
its irony pure, perspicuous and elevated
in its style, it exhibits a profound know
ledge of tho true principles of our constitu
tion and of the relative right and duties of
the Federal and State Governments ; ex
poses the fallacy and danger of the-constructive
doctrines, and has already done '
much to bring the Federal Government '
back to its original limits and intenlons,
and to revive and re-establish tho principles
of Jeff irsonian Democracy. As an effort
of intellect, it will rank among the highest
in the annals of American eloquence, and
as a fa. thful exposition of the true structure .
and objects of the American confederacy,
it will be regarded as a text book by the
supporters of the sovereignty of the States, "'
in every section of the Union." '.
On tho 1 1 ill of December, 1333, General
Hayne resigned his office aB Senator, to be -elected
Governor of the State. of South Ca
rolina. Scarcely had he delivered his in
augural addres', before the President' Pro- j
clauiaiioti of Dec, loih, of the same year
reached Columbia. Gov. Hayne issued a ,
counter Proclamation on the 20th of the
same month, expressed in terms of the most "
lofty and indignant defiance. The threaten-
ed conflict between the Federal Govern- ,
nient and the Stale of South Carolina, was
prevented by the passage by Congress, of
a bill modifying the Tariff, and one design
ed to eu force the collection of the revenue
laws, which took place on tho 2d of March,
18rJ3. Gen. George MeDuflie was elected '
Governor to succeed Gen. Hayne, since 1' ,.
which timahe had mingled but little in pub- '
lie life. He died of a lever at Ashville,
North Carolina, on the Sad day of Septem-
ber, A. D. 1880, in tlie forty-ninth year of
his age. -"
Though dead, he still lives in his work
and iu every thing great and noble in hu- c
man nature. South Carolina may well be
proud of him, as one of her mo.-t distinguished '
sons. The Nation America, may well -cherish
his memory, as one who in volume '
of undying eloquence, has added one unfa- T
ding branch to her laurel chaplet.. He wae a :
indeed a great man, ' -
