above stairs for long time past, announce

grocery;-not family grocery, devoted to
the dissemination Of sugar, coffee, candles
and cheese, but an institution where mint
tulips and other compound beverages were
wont to flourish and fade by the dozeu. Our
ueighbors have been lured by the boarded
memories of the past to the deserted shrine of
BAcCHUs, and where his altar once stood,
their desk now "looms magnifcently." With
repapered walls and well-scrubbed floor.
the room now presents quite comfortable
appearance, and the occupants seem as much
at home as if they bad been there before
Let US hope their experience in their new
poet:
You my scrub, you may paper the room you will.
But the of the Ecxer will Iinger there still.
But seriously. Our neighbors now have de-
cidedly the handsomest and most convenient
eounting-roOm in the city. How'll they
swap. The GGzate is still pouring cold wa
trr, or what is the same thing is still throw
ing a wet blanket over the Administration
Democracy. In noticing the runner that old
Buck is about TO turn Col. CARROLL out of
the Pustoffice at Memphis aud put Mr.. PAT
RICK in his place, it intimates that it won't
be long before DOUGLAS will maxi PATRICK
walk the plank and restore CARROLL TO the
Office. Our contemporary evidently has an
abiding faith in the DOUGLAS prOclivities OF
the Charleston Convention. This is extreme
| ly dampening to the friends of Mr. BUCHANAN.
and tor the sake Of their happiness it ought
| TO be stopped. We think ourselves that the
Little Giant will take the pnrsimmons in
that Convention, but ont OF regard for the
feelings of the Administration and its ireiends,
We make it a point never to mention it.
The Banner don't want the National OPP
position Convention to be held in Baltimore.
| Ii wants it to be held in Philadelphia, prob
ably because there is more brotherly love to
b found in the Quaker City than in the City
If Monuments. which is very necessary to
tn harmony Of conventions AS the Banner
seems a little anxious about the matter, We
hereby revoke the pronunciamentO locating
the Coveution al Baltimore. and transfer il
TO Philadelphia. Let il be understood
though, that this applies only to our part OF
the Convention; with the rest of it we have
