suddenly, an idea of her dodgers possible
embarrassment seemed 10 flash upon the
old woman, and she cried
"Gals, jest turn your backs round till
the stranger gers into bed"
The backs were turned, and the stran.
ger did get into bed in less than no time,
when the hostess again spoke.
Reckon, stranger as you aint Used TO
us. you'd better kiver up till the gals un,
dress hadn't you? !"
The nymphs were soon slowed away,
for there were neither busles 10 unhilch,
nor corsels to unlace, when their mama,
evidently anxious MOTTO smother her guest,
considerably relieved him:
You can unkiver now stranger; I'm
married folks, AMI you amt aboard of me

The stranger happened 10 be married
folks himself; he unkiversd and turned
his back with true connubial Indifference,
as far as The ancient lady was concerned,
but with regard TO The gals, he declares
that his half raised curiority inspired the
most lormenins dreams of mermaids that
he ever experienced.

DINNER TO GEN. McCALLA.--0n Tuesday last,
the General partook Of public dinner at Megow-
ans Hotel, rendered to him by a large number of
his warm admirers and friends. The company sat
down TO the table at o'clock to an excellent dinner
after which number Of toasts were drunk. In
response to the regular toast in which he was named
Gen. McCallu addressed the company for fifteen or
twenty minutes, in speech peculiarly affecting and
appropriate; he referred to his birth and long resi-
dence in Lexington, the many marks of favor re-
ceived at the hands of his fellow-ctzens, and the
strong ties by which he was bound to them; spoke
of his elevation to Office the result rather of their
recommendations than of his own merits; and re-
marked, in conclusion, that he should never forget
the many marks Of their esteem, and hoped, IL any
Of them should ever visit Washington, that they
would give him an opportunity Of evincng his
gratitude.
The evening was passed in the most pleasant in
erchange of good feeling and wishes, and at the
conclusion the company took leave Of the General,
who was to depart on the following morning.

REMOVALS FROM OFFICE.

MANY of the best and worthiest members Of the
democratic party complain Of the delay manifested
by the subordinate officers of the general government
in regard TO removals from Office. They say, and
not without reason that the exaation OF their enc
mics is not ony calculated to destroy the party, but
to give strength to those who have been the OPP
ponents of democratic DOCTRINES from the very foun
dation of the government. We are aware that there
are thousands who cling to the party, both In and
out of office, simply for the sake of plunder--like
the mercenaries who hang upon the outskirts Of an
army and vulture-like rob the battlefield and the

tive enable him. as well as subordinate officers

Napoleon had struck il off. l am aware this asser-
ton may seem bold and some may even consider 1t
unjust; but have been led to gather some facts on
this point, during my residence IN Italy, which,
when generally known, will be likely to place the
perfdy and injustice Of the British government m
still darker aspect than they have ever worn Yes;
the Italians know that, but for England they would
have been free to-day. For this reason, they re-
joced when they knew of the election of Mr. Polk;
for they were well aware that upon that issue de-
pended the great question whether or not our con-
siuhon and our people were TO go on IN their bright
career of advancement the garden soil which
Heaven and our own good sword had given us, or
be arrested by the high-handed and insulting man
date of our old enemy. The perfdy and the pre-
tensions of Great Britain, in her recent ntrigues
and negotiations in the Texas and Oregon affairs,
were regarded everywhere in Italy with feeling OF
indignation. Her right to question the justice or
the proprety of the annexation Of Texas, was con-
sidered on footing with her right to give away
whole Italian republics to foreign princess and her
base intrigues TO effect her hostile purposes were
considered worthy Of the days of Lords Bentinck
and Castlereagh. An issue-and a fair issue, too
was made on these points, during the last election
in this country. The point was decided. The
Italian people knew it and they know now that
the spirit which achieved our independence, and ar
rested the high hand Of Great Britain during the
last war, still lives among our people, and may all
be aroused again on the same great issues.
These are the reasons why the result OF the last
election considered so vital by The friends of
America in Italy. The elevation Of Mr.. Bancroft
to the control of the Navy Department was every
where greeted with delight by the literary men Of
Italy. His History is as well known in Italy as it
is with us, and viii be published lin Italian)
at Forence-tha ancient seat of the arts, and where
their spirit still breahes And in no part of the
world is the noble spirit Mr. Polk exhibited in the
selection of our great writer so well appreciated as
in Florence, where scholars have for ages had con-
troll of the public councils.
