All a Mistake.

On the last day Of the session OF the
Legislature, it was currently rumored
about the capitol that his ExceIlency
Gov. Tucker intended to resign his Office.
Ia such an emergency the duties of Gov
ernor would have davotved upon the
President Of the Senate, (Gen. Speight,)
who. in order to guard against such a
calamity, took the precaution TO resign
his seat as President Of the Senate. This,
we think, was in good taste, for who
would submit to the degradation of be-
ing Governor Of Mississippi while she
rests under the stain CT reputation? 1t
is true Gen. SPeight is tinctuged with the
odious doctrine himself, but his resigna-
ton may be hailed as good omen of his
intention TO return 10 the course of de-
cency and order.
1t is almost needless to add, that old
Tallabola has no idea Of surrendering
the reins Of the Government to McNutt
or his organs. So Gen. Fox will receive
but small honors by hiselection as Pres
ident Of the Senate, save that of adjourn
ing it by a pop Of his hammer, without
taking the vote on it. The resolution
for adjournment being indefinite, it
should have been put 10 vote.-Vicks

Renouncins Quakerisnl /.

Charles --, a Chatham street
tailor, was once a Quaker, and the rea-
son of laying aside the straight coat
was this. The early meeting Of Qua
kers takes place in May, and the city
members of that worthy people, are
bored with the visits of their country
friends.
On one these occasions, there fell to
the lot Of Charles an old Quaker, his
wife, and his law and wife-four
in all. Charles gave them up two of
his best rooms for their weeks visit,
and treated them with great hospitality.
At the breakfast table, one morning,
the old gentlemen turned to his host ard
said. +,
"Friend Charles, wouldn't thee ike
a pail of fine butter?"
81 would, friend Abner.''
"Well, have some very fine, and
thee shall have one-"
The pail Of butter was furnished, and
the old gentleman and his relatives
seemed to like its favor during the
week as well as the city people. The
day finally came when friend Abner
was to leave the city, and. he came to
the shop ofhis host TO bid him farewell.

The New York aurora is giving some
"reminiscences oF the band who went
from New York to aid Texas. A jour
.neyman mechanic formed one of the
number, who went from New York so
suddenly, that he left his wife only two
and-sixpence to support herself till he
came back; in fact, she did not know
what had become Of him, and, like an
indu strious woman, went to work TO
support herself and child comfortably,
and laid up money. About a year after
his mysterious disappearance, she re-
ceived letter from her ''liege lord,'
dated somewhere in Texas, saying that
he was almost starved to death, and re-
questing her to send him S1oo, SO that
he might come home. His wife very de-
iiberately wrote in large letters under
his communication, "stay and be starv-
ed ~ and re-directed the letter to his ad :.
dress in Texas. The husband has not
reached home up to this day.-Er. pap.

Turning Smoke into Gold.
The following anecdote is related Of
Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Eliza
beth. One day Sir Walter was conver-
sing with the Queen on the singular pro-
perties of Tobacco:
81 can assure yoar Majesty" said he,
"that | have so we'll experienced the ma
ture Of it, that ! can exactly tell even
the weight Of the smoke in any quantity
| consume"
81 doubt it much, Sir Walter,n re
piled Elizabeth, thinking only of the I'M
practicability of weighing smoke in a
balance, ''and will wager you twenty
angels thatyou 90 not solve my doubt''
"A quantity was agreed upon to be
thoroughly smoked. Carefully pre-
serving the ashes, Raleigh weighed
thes7-with great exactness, and what
was deficient OF the original weight he
gave as the result.
"Your majesty" said he, "cannot deny
that the difference hath been eyaporated
In smoke.''
Truly cannot, answered the Queen,
Then turning to those around her, who
had been amused by RaIeigh's calcula-
tons, she continued, in allusion to the
alchymists, then very numerous-"Aia-
ny Iaborers in the fire have | heard Of
who turned their gold into smoke, but
Raleigh is the first who turned smoke in
to gold" ...
.CARDINAL blAzARIN AND THE DUKE OF

The duke, entering suddenly, surprised
his eminenee in an occupation which
solemn stupidity would consider very

minister; and in those days, and at the
French court, when wink from prime
minister might cost man his liberty, if
not his life, and certainly blight all his
hopes Of political prelerment, 4 surprise
Of a prime minister that wounded his
vanity or pride, might Be dangerous
Under such circumstances, any courtier
less skilful than the duke would have

But such an old soldier in courts as the
duke was not easily caught. He at once

Both proceeded to jump higher with
