Mr.. DOUGLAS IN VIReINIA.-Mr. Douglas, in
stead OF making supporters by his current tour in
virginia, is positively driving from his support
hundreds who were inclined to vote for the Staun-
ton electoral ticket His one speech rst deli vered
I'm Nirginia) at Norfolk, has proved his only
speech so far delivered either In North Carolina
or Virginia, and its every point has been conclu-
sively answered by every Del ocratic party jour
nal in both those States, with appropriate expo
srtons Of the turbulence and mendacity of his
bearing upon the stump, and the charlatanism Of
his assumptions of strength before the people, and
Of the accusations of disunion hurled by him
against the entire Democratic party of the South.
The fact that he and his Virginia followers are
now in open and fragrant afiliation with the Vir-
ginia Know Nothing party to the avoped end Of
Frustrating the Democratic cause In the STATE, has
also been made plain to the comprehension of all
The consequence is that though he not long 81 nee
had few followers there sincerely attached to
the Democratic party, he has already managed to
drive them off from him; thus reducing his party
In the Old Dominion almost wholly to Know
Nothings who temporarily united themselves to the
Democratic party on the dissolution Of their own
organization-men who never professed adhesion
to the doctrines of the resolutions Of l79s-he real
test Of entire Identification in Virginia, with the
Democracy. Wherever he speaks he creates pretty
much such sensation as Dan Rice does when
making his periodical tours through the State
and people flock to see and hear him precisely as
they flock to see and hear that prince Of testers
In the ring" The telegraphic dispatches desert
bling his victories are written to order, and well
paid for, and are objects Of universal ridicule
| throughout Virginia; as his arrogant impudence
upon the stump is the object subject of univer
sal indignation and contempt on the part Of the
Old Dominion's Democratic party, whom he has
undertaken to SANDER so UNANIMOUSLY to their faces
under cover of the protection accorded to him by
the opposition men, who, being engaged in play.
Ing him as the main card they hold in their hand
| flock around him In great numbers, speak where

Old Tay's Tricks.

Old Tay's Tricks.
Old Tay was always ''short," ani
generally drunk. One day he and Pi
per wanted to go fishing through the
ice. It was cold weather, and fishing
on such day without some of the ar
dent, could not be thought of. Neither
of them had cent of money or credit
Piper says we have got lines, and
hooks, and bait, but where is the GIN
Tay was full of expedients, and he told
Piper to go to his house, and tell his
wife that he wanted gallon Jug. Pi-
per brought it, and old Tay filled it just
half full of clean water, and started with
Piper down to Noyes' grocery.
He went in with nonchaiant swag.
ger, and cried out ''Noyes I want two
quarts of gin,' Noyes was suspicious
but thought that the old fellow must
have obtained the necessary 'spondu.
licks" by some hook or crook. So he
measured out two quarts of gin, and put
it into the jug. "Noyes,' said Tay
Piper and I are going a fishing, and We
will pay you when we sell our fish. >
"Not by a blamed sight, said Noyes
"you have played that on me too many
times" With that he grabbed up the
jug, and poured its contents back into
the barrel. "Look here, Noyes, that is
rather rough l swear" said old Tay
II had two quarts of gin before in that
jug. Can't stand that Noyes had
seen we'll enough that his two quarts
filled the jug, and he was concerned
So he drew out two quarts of gin and
water, and the twain went fishing with
the other two.

MIR. FUZ FEES WAITER AND
FEELS MEAN.

/ In the last number Of the Mac-a-Cheek
! Press, Mr. "Fuz'' gives another interest
ing "personal reminiscence. He fees
waiter and forthwith ever since Is thereby
rendered disconsolate. 1t ism the waste
Of the money, but principle of the thing.
The snobish fashion some noodles
have of privately feeling the waiter is
driving all comfort from our hotels 1t
is mean, sneaking purchase of low
distinction. The poor devil indulging
in it thinks he buys the admiration of
nigger. But he is swindled out of this,
/ for darkeys instincts after all tell him
that the moneyed man is snob. Poor
human mature! Franklin taught us a
lesson long before Fuz was thought of,
but the lesson fell on Fuz in vain. AS
Franklin paid out his last coin without
an adequate consideration rather than
appear mean, so your correspondent Fuz
sought to elevate himself in the eyes of
a colored man, l must say, in nitiga-
tion of his weakness, that he was very
tall, digni6ed darkey-an impressive
nigger altogether.
It happened in this wise: I was paid
up at the hotel for Baltimore. Now
had nothing in the way of luggage but a
carpet bag, and as the 'buss would carry
me from the hotel to the station house
! vn the river for six cents, it was quite
unnecessary to pay hack fifty cents, [
saw difficulties in the way--I knew it
would require some diplomacy to get
through the army of walters, travelling
bag in hand-but l undertook the task
and succeeded in getting by all, as 1
thought, when the tallest of the lot seized
my bag and said, in the politest manner,
'Scuse me, sab; what stage will you take,
sah?'' There was no escape, and | quietly
submitted He stopped the omnibus,
and while tumbling in hastily searched
for quarter. Unfortunately 1 found
only fifty cent piece, and this I handed
him. He put me in the wrong omnibus,
so that l was forced to take another,
costing an additional six cents.
l had the blue devils. My reflections
were gloomy and humiliating I was
no true gentleman-Iw was a weak hearted
snob. When he handed me and my
travelling bag into the omnibus, l
Snoulu nave Salu, III the DlanuesG man
ner, II thank you, sir-you are very
kind indeed,,' and darkey, instead of
having my fifty cents, would have had
high opinion of me. He would have
regarded me as 'high ole cuss," which
means snob with colored pussen-
Through this weakness l lost ten good
cigars-or say ten drinks-such as lager
beer or fine Catawba juleps, and for what?
To impress darkey with the wealth,
Importance and dignity of the Rinctum
family.
I have seen a nobleman of England,
whose income would startle some of our
millionaries, quarrel half an hour over a
sou-yet the man was a generous, good
fellow, noted for his charities-and if
you asked him why he rowed over so
small a sum, he would tell you that it
was the principle and not the money;
that the man who undertakes to swindle
YOU is guilty Of the grossest insult to
your understanding and should be pun
ished for that.
