O1- A Jackson friend writes US, that tho
cause Of the God-like man" Aourishes IN
Massa chusetts and, that she will declare
for him in less than three years !!!-that Duff
has been abused. because he opposes re-
vival Of tho old gag-law-that Marcus Nor
ton will receive strong vote this year, and
be elected next-that amalgnma,ion has turn
cd the heads Of tho knowing ones -anti-ma-
.~7ry occasioning Babel like confusion Of
languages, and finally, that Gov Lincoln is
Fed. Our friend, from his own confession,
has two reasons which sho ud induce him to
vote for Lincoln, instead of the .fnti-M ason-
ic gentleman. He is himself probably, nay
lie undoubtedly IS mason, and next he
should not forget, that tho President delights
to honor Federalism m these days, by ap-
pointing them almoa exclusively to the fat
places in his gift. .Act consist entity one and
all-h is dangerous to rouse the kings
wrath.
CXMBAcEREs was gourmand, an'l
his table would have Teen daily crowd
ed with guests, had not his disposition
been some what penu-ious. or this
last foible there is an apecdme toe char
ncteristic to be omitted. He had d.
reCted a furniture broker 10 bring him
a table capacious snru-h for sixty GOV
rrs. Accordingly It was brought, and
ordered 10 he laid out in che dining
room. When this was done, he insi.t
cd that it was net cfthe requisite dmen
SONS. His oJ"ct was 10 pIocure by
this means somc abatement Of the
price 4; hut the poor II ,desn,sn demur
red. 10 settle the question. Gambia
ceres dispatched one Of his valets To
bring in sixty masons, who were at that
m"men, demOlishing some buildings in
the Place du CarouseI. The men were
surprised at so unexpected summons;
they naturally supposed. however. that
the great man wished some improve
meat to be Immediately made in his
palace, hastily cleaned themselves,an
few to the spot. When introdut ed
into the dining room, they were not a
little amazed to find tie table laid out
with sixty covers. mo doubt, thot
they, his highnc.s has received good
news from the army, and IN the joy si
his heart wishes 10 give Us treat !
This impression was conf med wher
they were ordered 10 take their seats.
But what was their amazement when,
instead Of the table being covered with
daintics, Cambaceres, who was stand
ing near them, called out. Act as il
you were pouring out TO drink Seize
your knives and forks Seem az if you
were cutting something on your plates'
The poor hod men went through these
svolutions with such regularity, as to
Tsmina US Of the BARRIERS brother ia
the Arabian Nights; but IN one respect
the parallel Is impeI lect-the imagin
ary fast was not succeeded by a sub
stAntial one: no sooner was his higl,
ness forced 10 acknowledge that the
t,ble was Of the requisi.s capacity than
the tan'ali1ed guests were unceremon
iously dismissed, without the slightest
compensation for the time they had
lost.
Ready VITA gentleman passing through
Cosrt street few mornings since, on seeing
an Irishman at distance picking up some
thing in the gutter, asked him what he was
doing there. What am doing" said Pat,
holding up q pair Of new silk stockiRgs-
:" and surely am looking for the bsots."
