Tiiis is nil fine bravado, said Hughes
Barney and I have no desire to shoot down,

DANIEL WEBSTER IN A NEW CHARACTER.
The New York Express in a very pleasant
notice of Mr. Barney's book, speaks of
the manner in which that gentleman lias
figured through his long life, having been
feted and courted by the tiptop society of
all t.ho mTont <-ilioa nn.l ,ui?li #! .. ??
nnd Foreign Ministers, by many of whom
he has been domesticated in their establishments.
Willi those opportunities, the Express
thinks, if his memory is good and his
pen lively, he will write a book that will
make the people stare. It hopes, however,
that lie will not omit a rare scene in whi-'h
Daniel Webster figured in a new light, and
which it describes as follows :
There is no incident in the life of. Barney,
droll, very droll, which we hope he will not
omit. In 1850, soon after the passage of
the Compromise bill, lie invited about thirty
members of Congress, and.others, to dine in
the restaurant in Pennsylvania Avenue, and
lie nrenared, nlaces' fliul~j#ltnnier?" f. nnKr
about ten or twelve?but the whole party
cainu; and the night happenedto be a
mosi: uncomfortable oiie. The dinner was
to be at six p. m., tut it was not ready till
nine o'clock: There were Webster, growling
like a hungry and starving lion ; and
men of all pur ties, the most eminent in poBitiini
in the United Slates. Never were let
loose upon a dinner a ciosser or a hungrier
set of men; but when at nine o'clock, ihe
thity foftud places fur only ten or twelve to
sit down to the table, there was iho loudest
njjir 01 laugmer. Aiorrimcnt soou look the
| place of afjger. Cabinet Ministers stood im
and waited on foreign Ministers, and Um"
ted States Senators;in great glee, discharged
tlie duties ,of Seipio and Sambo. A few
grains of champagne let loose the tongues
1 of aft "honorable" centlr.nien?and the dinner
was long itnd pleasant?1-and never was
: a happier evening passed than was this af1
ter all.
An Incident ST the evening, qv. night rather,
was between Mr* WebsterVrthen SecretKf>

A Campaign Incident.
An old.soldier, writing to the late Duke
of Wilmington on the subject of corporal pi
punshineut in the British army, mentioned isl
the following anecdote:
"In 1814, when I joined the 87th Regi- ot
mcnt under the command of Sir Hugh of
Gough, there was a bugler in the corps ill
who had been through the whole of the ac
Peninsular campaign. Paddy Shannon was dc
a favorite with all the inctij and something ei)
of a hero ; but all Paddy had left were his
recollections of thCso acts?his only solace V
the notice taken bf hiin at the canteen? pt
his only triumph the whisky. Need I say j at
Paddv Rlmiiiinn n I
that Paddy soon made his appearance at II
the 'halberts V pc
"The Regiment was paraded, the pro- er
ceedings read, and Paddy tied up. The bi
signal wns given for the drummer lo begin, o\
when Paddy Shannon exclaimed : . ei
"Listen now, Sir Ungh. l)o you mean at
to say you're going to flog me. Just rueol- b<
leet who it was sounded the charge at Bar- l>i
rosa, when you took-the only French fr<
eagle ever taken. Wasn't it Paddy Shan- ti<
non ? Little I thought that day it would te
come to this ; and the Regiment so proud ni
of that same eagle of their colors ? 'ia
'Take him down,' said Sir Hugh, and 4,i
Paddy escaped unpunished. A very short
time, however, elapsed, before Paddy again st
found himself in a similar circumstance. - w
'Go on,' said the Colont-I. es
'Don't be in a linrrv,' ejaculated Faddy, w
'I'v^ a few words to say'Sir Hugh.' tl
'The eagle won't save yon this time, sir.' U
'Is it the eagle, indeed ! ther^I wasn't go- bl
ing to say anything about the same, thought fr
you arc and ought to be proud of it. lint ti
i was jusi going lo ask if it wasn't Paddy tc
Shannon who, when the'breach was storm- li
,ed at Tarifa by 22,000 French, and only v<
the 8"7th to dcfeiuPit, if it . wiisn't Paddy b<
Shannon who struck up 'Garryowen, to glo- si
i v hoy,' and you, Sir Hugh, have got the b?
same two towers and the breach between pi
therfj on your cojit of arms in testimony it
thcerof.' in
'Take him down, said (ho Colonel, , arid w
Paddy was again unscathed. Paddy lmd p<
a long list of services to go through,/-and cl
a great deal - of whiskey, and ere another fa
two months he was lied up, the sentence tv
read, and an assurance from Sir Hugh
Gough that nothing again should make la
. him relent. Paddy tried the ea<jle?it was of
of no use. He appealed to Sir Hugh,s ai
pride, and the breach ofTarifa without any
avail.
And is it me,' nt last he broko out, "that
you are going to flog ? I appeal to you, tli
Sir Hugh Gough, before the whole Regi- m
inent, who know it well, if it wasn't Pad- gi
dv Shannon who nie.kr?d im thn Ppnm.l. -i.

Tho British Minister.
The New York llerald's London corres)?dcnt
thus speaks .of the now British Mi liter
to the United States :
Tho choice, I am happy tp say, has fallen
j Charles Pelhani Villien*, M. P., brother
Lord Clarendon, and at present holding
e office of Judge Advocate General. His
iceptnnce was handed in to-day, and his
parturo will be at as early a period as cirunstanees
will admit.
Allied by bluod to the aristocracy, Mr.
illiers has made his reputation as the re esentative
of the people. With Cobden
id Bright. l.u was the earliest of the chamons
of aiiti-Corn Law League. In the
otise of Commons ho was its leading sup>rter,
the pitted antagonist of Georgo Fredick
Y ouitg, and tho man on whom fell tho
lrf hnn nl' rl/ilnifn Ti.if
rer, an-.l the triumph cofriplete, his experiice
differed in no respect from that of must
stive.reformers. The public accepted the
jon which his energies had mainly secured
it forgot the mau who had wrenched it
am the prejudice and ignorance of the nasn.
Mr. Cobden and some others, more
nacious of their claims,/And probably less
odest in urging them, rjsceived "testi mollis,"
hut none as what *vo irreverently call
lie spoils," fell to the share of Mr, Villers.
With th esc antecedents it will bo underood
that Mr. yiller^ is well acquainted
ith the vagricultur;\l and commercial inter
?ts of his own country, and of the civilized
orld and will have an intelligent sympaiy
wftli the Industry and enterprise of the
lilted States, Republican in habits, alia- p
e in manner, and amiable in disposition, w
ank in intercourse, intelligent and instruc- (]
i'o in conversation, and, moreover, anima- j
d by a sincere friendship and real admini 011
of our country and its institutions, I ^

?st man in England, for the honorable po- ,

ver direct and manly, like Bulwer ; but j
ill bring to his post the qualification which #i
jsition, long public service, and a manly ^
laructer have enabled him to acquire. So

vo countries could not be in better hands. g|

Habits of Literary Men. ^
While on the subject of literary men and
leir habits, it will not bomal.appropos to ;
ention.that-nearly all the present di.stin- r(
wished writers of France accomplish their
lily task in the morning. Thus Mr. j.
hiere is always up and ready for work at
x o'clock in. the morning, in all seasons ; jj
(r. Scribe, like Mr. Lamartine, works from

Tho Water of the.Nilo.
Bruce, in his "Sceues ^nd Sights in the
last," says :?The waters of the Enst,
whether good or bad, are all soft. About
!je analysis of the waters of the Nile ]
avc no curiosity, and I would not bt
leased to receive information. To be
lade acquainted with tho chemical cle
lents which composed our food and oui
rink, is enough to destroy all pleasure in
ating and drinking; and to subject tlu
ubstance.of the venerable god Nilus to the
jrture of scientific analysis look- like itniety.
The Nilo water is particularly soft:
. Jills the mouth with a rich creamy taste.;
nd.in drinking it, in order to enjoy it, it is
rell to spread it over every part of the palte.
It should be drunk,, not to quench
:iir?t, but to create high, pleasure.' It
lioujd not, therefore, be swallowed in large
raughts at a time, but taken at' short injrvals,
every hour or so. In tho house,
le water jar?the admirable Egyptian wajr
jar, which is so much more porous than
linn the Indian jar?should be at hand
ay and niglit continually. Much refresh
icnioi soul would be obtained by your
ising from bed during the night and taking
?peatcd draughts?allowing them to remain
ame little time in your mouth, so as to
ecp up an abiding sense of pleasure on
our palate. The--passion for Nile water,
ko the love of everything that is intensely
xquisite in its way, increases with its enDyment.
No one who has once or twice
listed Nile water, and has a capacity foi
ileaaurc, will ever after consent to driuk. oi
