The Locofocos Of ST. Louis had magnificent
quarrel at the jackson Jubilee" on the 18th.
Resolutions lauding Col. Benton were attempted
to be tackled to those euIogistc of Jackson, but
they we're voted down, and the assemblage split
in two pieces, which diverged and held meetings
in different places, leaving the dinner untouched.
The star Of Bentonism seems to be waning in
Missouri.

HAZEL EYEs.-Major Noah says that hazel
eye inspires at first a Platonic sentiment, which
gradually but surely expands, and energies into
love as securely founded as the Rock of Gibral-
tar. A woman with a hazel eye never clopes
from her husband; never chats scandal never
sacrifices her husbands comfort to her own !:
never finds fault; never talks too much or too
little; is always an entertaining, intellectual,
agreeable and loveable creature. We never
knew but one uninteresting and unamabe with
hazel eye, and she had nose which looked,
as the Yankee says, like the little end of no.

NAMEs.--lt is a fact that sometimes parents
are puzzled TO find names for their children--tbe
vocabulary sacred and profane, having almost
run out. Scriptural names, since the time of
the Pilgrims, have been under the necessity of
giving way TO the fanciful--the sentimental and
the ornamentive An eccentric parent in Roches-
ter wishing name for his first GIRL drew out
SIX letters from the alphabet at random, which
made xyomia. Fantastic enough.

A Tyler dinner is announced in New York to
take place on Friday evening, the anniversary of
Mr.. Tyler's birth. The'Express calls the propo-
stion "bumb SHE'LL" and says that ever since
it appeared in the air, there has been the most
terrible fluttering men ever saw. A great many
are taken sick too sick to go out but not so scl
as not to be able to write to Washington, and to
express their anxiety for the cause, and their con-
fidence in Capt. Tyler's prospects, as well as
their profound regret that is their ILL
that they cannot attend festival which will
be the most brilliant ever got up in this country"
The most common form of the disease is 6 infu-
enza." It is the source of much anxiety that
simple call to celebrate Capt. Tyler's birthday
should have seized SO many with what is some-
times called the :" Tyler Grippe" and it is sin
gular circumstance that it should of sudden
have broken out so universally. The True Sun
announces that Mr.. Curtis, the collector, has been
taken, and does not see his intimate friends.

LOOK AT IT MECHANICS AND MANUFACTURERS
"A correspondent Of the Providence Journal
puts very opposite question to mechanics and
manufacturing classes Of the country, and the
New York Courier thinks they have but one
way of answeringit. Noticing the firing of can
non in New York, when the State Prison bill
passed the House of Assembly, to relieve the
mechanics from the .felonious competition Of
some six or eight hundred convicts, the writer
says" Yet these mechanics, both in New York
and in Connecticut, are asked to turn completely
round and vote for men, who. they knoaO, wish
to let down the barriers that now protect their
labor from the competition Of British artisans
and machinery-the latter alone being estimated
in power to equal 2OO,OOO,OOO men and these
artisans are no better clothed and fed than our
State prison convicts. In Connecticut they are
called upon to do this act of political suicide next
Monday. Will they be persuaded or driven in
to doing it y

The Directors OF the Baltimore and Susque-
hanna Railroad Company have offered to convey
persons from York to this city, at the time OF the
Wing National Convention, at very cheap rates
The fare will be two dollars for each person, for
the round trip from York to Baltimore, and back
again. The tickets issued will be good for three
days previous to the meeting, and the like period
after the adjournment of the Convention. This
arrangement is very good one, and will no
doubt be embraced by great numbers.-BaA.

The above reminds us Of the necessity Of some
such arrangement with the fillmore and WASH

not the Clay Club take some step to ascertain
what abatement from the established rates can be
had for three days previous to, and the like period
after the adjournment Of the Conventions"

A New READING.--The editor of the Port
Gibson Herald has hit upon an idea which has
decided squirting towards originality. After quo
ting from Shakespeare as follows
"The man who hath music in his soul,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils,
he then goes on to say that he believes the great
poet only meant that the man whose boots didn't
creak could walk round in the dark without being
suspected. 'sThe last word of the first line"
continues the Port Gibson man, "was no doubt
written sole, but the world has been led into er.
