changed the name Of his castle, again
Whilst bearing the title of Little
Misery" the flag Of our country" was
always kept on the outward wall
This has been taken in, for diverse
reasons: the principal of which is,
that the Col. himself, could never look
on that noble banner, without feeling
patriotic, and having to take some

The name Of "Stag Hall'' is deemed
less Objectionable to the Coils, many

country, are the gentlemen who COM
posed the late democratic State exccu.
tive committee, each Of whom has Sc
cured for himself fat Office. The
president Of the committee, being
rather more ambitious than the pri-
Yates, believes that he is entitled to all
vacancies that may occur--as it ap-
pears that he no sooner heard Of the
death Of the master warden Of the
port Of New Orleans, than he applied
to governor Hebert for, aud received,
the appointment. 1t is worth $4,000
per annum. Horatio Davis is really q
lucky man: he now holds the Offices

WEIGHTS AND MEAsUREs.-Therc is
great deal Of nonsense that enter. in
to the talk, ofeven wise people. 1t is
funny to listen to fashionable company
when it comes together; either in
doors, or outdoors and. hear them
talk the commonplace compliments,
fashionable at this day. With the
gents there are get phrases, that none
but the initiated are acquainted with
and with the busiest business men
there are but few compliments, of no
interest. 1t is only with the ladies
that the whole volly Of compliments
and questions Of solicitude, are run
over. "Run over" this is the appro-
pirate phrase.
